Looking up at the sky, the crowd from the Hundred Clans was stunned. What was this?
The entire city was enveloped in a crystalline radiance. Some curious individuals touched it and discovered that the shield was soft and pliable, tangible yet impenetrable. Its appearance and aura were identical to that of Immortal Crystals.
Heavens! Could the City Lord have used Immortal Crystals to fortify the city's defense? That's such a waste!
Exactly. We might as well fight it out instead. Seeing such extravagant use of Immortal Crystals makes me want to die.
Stop being so dramatic. Without the City Lord's generous "wastefulness," do you think you'd still be alive to chitchat here?
The crowd of immortals fell silent.
Indeed, without the City Lord's grand gesture, could they have withstood the attacks from the creatures outside?
Look! The sky is covered.
Beyond the defense shield, the Heaven Devouring Vines had already spread over the Immortal Crystal Barrier.
