Cultivating Through The Game-Chapter 461 - 278: Dark Clouds Overwhelm the City, Threatening its Collapse

The sunless sky was burning, and the burning sky was the only remaining light in the world.

However, this last bit of light was flickering precariously, as the rolling black clouds swept in with an unstoppable force, devouring the burning sky.

Black clouds pressed down on the city...

"Activate the array!" Lu Jingfeng flew up, his spiritual power bursting forth like a rising sun, and shouted loudly.

As soon as his voice fell, dozens of pillars of light rose around Beifeng City, each representing a Core Formation Realm expert.

Dozens of rays of light shot out from the pillars and converged in the sky above the center of Beifeng City, rapidly forming a complex and massive array that enveloped the entire city before the black clouds could crush it.

The faint glow of the array illuminated the sky of Beifeng City, allowing the residents to more clearly see the black clouds resembling demons and ghosts, as they stretched their claws toward the city.

"What about the people outside the city?" a commander asked worriedly upon seeing Lu Jingfeng descend.

Lu Jingfeng's face was solemn, and he remained silent, not responding to the commander's question. The commander seemed to realize that asking such a question at this moment was inappropriate.

Fortunately, there were not many city guards around them, nor were many people able to hear the commander's question.

The officers of Beifeng City's military had long since moved their families into the city, so they didn't have to worry about their family's safety. However, it wasn't certain whether the families of the guards were within the city.

Most of the guards were from other places, not from within Beifeng City.

If they knew the City Lord was neglecting their families, heedless of their relatives' lives and deaths, this battle might be lost before it even began.

Lu Jingfeng was powerless in the face of this, and could only hope in his heart that the residents of the surrounding towns and villages would survive safely.

"City Lord, people from the Divine Weapon Pavilion have arrived," the adjutant said as he ran up to Lu Jingfeng.

Lu Jingfeng's expression shook; this battle heavily relied on the great figure from the Divine Weapon Pavilion. He hurriedly followed the adjutant towards the location of the Pavilion Master's branch from the Divine Weapon Pavilion.

Although the strongest members of Beifeng City's families were only at the peak of the Core Formation Realm, the Pavilion Master stationed at Beifeng City was a genuine Dividing Spirit Realm expert.

Moreover, a powerful one among the Dividing Spirit Realm.

The elders of the Divine Weapon Pavilion were strong, even if they couldn't rank on the Heaven List of the Tower within the Pavilion, they were formidable figures outside.

Let alone the elder of the Divine Weapon Pavilion in Beifeng City, who was the renowned Elder Rakshasa.

From a distance, Lu Jingfeng noticed the prominent figure in the crowd. Rakshasa's figure was alluring but exuded an icy aura, filled with evil qi between the brows, fierce and intimidating.

"Venerable Rakshasa," Lu Jingfeng said, bowing in salutation.

Whether it was Rakshasa's strength or status, both deserved such respect from him.

Rakshasa glanced at Lu Jingfeng and nodded slightly, softly parting her jade-like lips to say: "City Lord Lu, why was the demon horde from five hundred years ago left until today? Had it been dealt with early, there wouldn't be today's calamity."

Lu Jingfeng looked at Rakshasa with some embarrassment, thinking: If it could have been dealt with, I would have done so long ago. It wasn't left until today because it was impossible to handle.

He said, "Thank you for the reminder, Venerable. I will learn from today's lesson. Please assist Beifeng City with all your might in overcoming this crisis."

...

The mentors and students from Beifeng Academy also appeared on the city wall, with Yu Xiaoman standing alongside Ling Yuyan, right next to the Ling family, as the academy and the Ling family were adjacent.

In the Soul Nourishing Wood necklace, Fei Feng gazed at the rolling black clouds on the horizon, recalling the battle against the demon general.

Back then, they used a battle formation to forcefully injure a Dividing Spirit Realm demon general and seal it in Kugu Ridge.

Unfortunately, very few people survived that battle. Everyone fought with everything they had to win, and even then, it was a tragic victory. She lost her body as well.

Now, perhaps there was a chance to accomplish what hadn't been achieved back then.

During her time with Yu Xiaoman, she taught him to cultivate, and various items Yu Xiaoman accidentally collected often played a significant role for her.

Now her strength had completely recovered, and even progressed further.

Back then, her soul power was already at the peak of the Core Formation Realm, but restricted by insufficient spiritual power cultivation, she couldn't break through the Core Formation Realm.

Now that she had lost her body, it seemed she had instead broken free of her limits. Her cultivation returned and exceeded its limits, becoming a Dividing Spirit Realm expert.

Of course, she could only be considered half a Dividing Spirit Realm, as without a body and having lost her Divine Soldiers, Fei Feng's strength was much weaker than a normal Dividing Spirit Realm.

However, after breaking through to the Dividing Spirit Realm, she no longer needed to rely on the Soul Nourishing Wood for survival and could wander the world in spirit form.

For now, she had nowhere she wanted to go, and also to express gratitude to Yu Xiaoman for her new life, she stayed by Yu Xiaoman's side, guiding her to become stronger.

"Teacher, is that your old enemy?" Yu Xiaoman asked in her heart, looking at the looming giant tree in the black clouds.

"Yes," Fei Feng replied: "Xiaoman, forgive me for being willful. If there's a chance, I will leave here to kill the enemy that should have been eliminated five hundred years ago."

"When I leave, be careful yourself," Fei Feng instructed.

Yu Xiaoman smiled faintly and said, "Teacher, go ahead. Don't worry about me. There are so many people here, I'll definitely be fine."
