Of course, in order to protect this defensive formation from the Soul Devouring Tribe's destruction, almost everyone in the Great Li City had to contribute their cultivation resources.
This was because in order to maintain this great defensive array, one needed countless cultivation resources. At this time, everyone had given their cultivation resources to the great defensive array, allowing it to absorb them.
With these cultivation resources, the defensive array could continuously absorb them to maintain the array, allowing it to stay at its peak condition and not be destroyed by the Soul Devouring Tribe.
Therefore, the Great Li City relied on cultivation resources to maintain its defensive formation.
Of course, the Soul Devouring Tribe didn't attack the defensive formation like crazy the moment they arrived. The Soul Devouring Tribe seemed to be preparing to engage in a battle of attrition as well.
He was prepared to use up all of the resources in Dali City. As long as he used up all of the resources in Dali City, the defensive array would have its source of power cut off.
When that time came, they could easily destroy the defensive magic formation of Dali City.
That way, they could capture everyone in Dali City.
Everyone in the Great Li City knew what the Soul Devouring Tribe was planning, but they could only do so now.
If they didn't maintain this defensive array, the Soul Devouring Race would quickly destroy it. At that time, they would only be able to hasten their deaths.
However, up until now, most of their cultivation resources had also been used up.
If they didn't have any reinforcements, then the defensive formation would be destroyed. At that time, they would be faced with a slaughter by the Soul Devouring Tribe.
Many of them were filled with fear as they looked at the densely packed group of Soul Devouring Tribe members.
Due to the fact that the Soul Devouring Tribe was in such a terrifying realm, they were densely packed with Emperor Stage powerhouses. There were even quite a few who had surpassed the Emperor Stage, and the weakest among the Soul Devouring Clan were Emperor Stage powerhouses.
And inside the Great Li City, many people were only at the Emperor Realm or below. There weren't many experts at the Emperor Realm or above.
Relying on the power of Dali City, if they wanted to resist the Soul Devouring Tribe, it would be akin to an egg hitting a rock, and they would probably be instantly destroyed.
The reason why they were able to survive until now was all because of the defensive formation.
The City Lord of Great Li City, Long Hai, was only at the Divine Emperor Realm. However, even he didn't have the confidence to survive the attack of the Soul Devouring Tribe, because there were more than ten Divine Emperor Realm experts in the Soul Devouring Clan.
He was certain that these ten Soul Devouring Clans of the Divine Emperor Realm had already locked onto him. In the entire Great Li City, other than him who was at the Divine Emperor Realm, there was only one other person who was at the Divine Emperor Realm.
This person was also his good friend, but this time, he happened to come looking for him to reminisce about the old days and was trapped in the Great Li City.
Right now, he and his good friend were standing on top of the city wall, looking at the Soul Devouring Tribe members outside. Both of them were filled with worry.
"Brother Wang, I'm afraid we won't be able to escape this time!"
Long Hai bitterly smiled.
"Mn, those ten Divine Emperor Realm Soul Devouring Clans have already locked down the two of us. As long as the defensive formation is broken, they will attack us two immediately. It will be really difficult for us to escape alive!"
Wang Ming said in a serious tone.
He was also regretful in his heart. Why would he come to the Great Li City for no reason? Now that he was trapped here, he could only look at the ten Divine Emperor Realm Soul Devouring Clan members outside with fear in his heart.
These ten Divine Emperor Realm Soul Devouring Clans had already locked onto Long Hai and him. At that time, they would have to fight against five of them by themselves. How could they possibly fight?
Moreover, the Soul Devouring Tribe was an existence that was unrivalled at his level, so how could he possibly be a match when the five Divine Emperor Realm Soul Devouring Tribes surrounded him and fought him alone.
There was a high chance that he would die here. His heart was filled with regret, but right now, all of it was useless.
Who told him to catch up to this matter? However, if the defensive arrays were truly destroyed by the Soul Devouring Tribe, he would immediately escape.
He wouldn't stay behind to defend the Great Li City from the Soul Devouring Race. Right now, he was only worried about these ten Divine Emperor Realm Soul Devouring Races.
He was worried that the ten Soul Devouring Clans in the Divine Emperor Realm would stop him and not allow him to leave.
Although Long Hai was the City Lord of Dali City, he wouldn't fight against the Soul Devouring Tribe for Dali City.
The disparity in strength between the two sides was too great. If he had the chance, he would have immediately left the Great Li City. As for the others, he couldn't care less.
Of course, he and Wang Ming shared the same thought. They might be the first ones to be attacked by the Soul Devouring Tribe because their strength was the strongest in the Great Li City. The Soul Devouring Tribe would definitely not let them off.
At this moment, everyone in the Great Li City had their own thoughts. Many people had their own plans. If the defensive formation was truly destroyed, they would immediately run away.
There were a lot of people inside the Great Li City, and the Soul Devouring Tribe couldn't possibly capture everyone at the first possible moment. This wasn't going to be easy.
When the time came, it would certainly be chaos. They could take advantage of this chaos to escape, everyone thought.
However, just at this moment, the Soul Devouring Tribe army outside began to move. The Soul Devouring Tribe had actually set up a formation outside.
They were building a huge trap array. This trap array was like a semicircle bowl, inverted above the Great Li City.
The Soul Devouring Tribe was preparing to set up a huge trap array to seal off the entire Dali City. After that, they would catch a turtle in a jar and kill everyone in Dali City.
Seeing the Soul Devouring Tribe setting up the trap array, everyone in the Great Li City was terrified.
They all knew what the Soul Devouring Race meant. They wanted them all to die.
Immediately, everyone was frightened, including Long Hai and Wang Ming. If the Soul Devouring Tribe managed to complete the trap array, Dali City would be finished as well.
At that time, everyone in the Great Li City would die in the hands of the Soul Devouring Tribe, and no one would be able to escape.
Suddenly, many people in the Great Li City couldn't sit still.
"Since I'm going to die if I stay here anyway, I might as well break through now."
Many people were shouting like this. The Great Li City was now a dead city, and as long as the Soul Devouring Race laid down that trap array, everyone would die.
Therefore, they did not plan to stay in the Great Li City any longer and planned to break through right now.
After that, a dense crowd of people flew out of the city walls and headed outside the encirclement.
Countless experts flew out of Dali City and fled in all directions. However, the Soul Devouring Tribe was already prepared.
Countless Soul Devouring Races did not fly high up in the sky to stop the experts from leaving Dali City. The attacks of these Soul Devouring Races were extremely terrifying. Those who were preparing to break through were instantly killed by them.
Many people were captured by the Soul Devouring Tribe without being able to resist. The first wave of people that rushed out of Dali City were all killed by the Soul Devouring Tribe in a short period of time.
Inside the Great Li City, those who were preparing to break out of the encirclement felt their hearts go cold when they saw this scene.
However, seeing that the trap array was about to be completed, they still decided to break out.
Immediately, even more people flew out of the city walls, ready to break out of the siege.
However, the Soul Devouring Tribe's army still managed to kill all of these people. No one was able to successfully break out of the encirclement.
No matter what cultivation they had, as long as they flew out of the city walls, they would be caught or killed by the Soul Devouring Race.
They had broken out of the encirclement several times, but none of them were able to escape.
Inside Dali City, those who were preparing to break through and those who weren't ready to break through all despaired.
With the Soul Devouring Tribe being so powerful, they felt a deep sense of despair. No one was able to break out of the encirclement. This terrifying probability made everyone feel fear.
The Soul Devouring Tribe was so terrifying that the people behind them didn't dare to break out of their encirclement. They could only hide inside the Great Li City.
Even if the trap array was about to be completed, they wouldn't dare to break out. If they tried to break out, they would die. There was only this kind of result, and there was no other way.
Thus, they could only hide inside the Great Li City.
On top of the city wall, Long Hai and Wang Ming's hearts were also filled with fear.
However, they did not act rashly. Instead, they prepared to let those people go out and test the waters. However, seeing that all of them had been annihilated, their hearts trembled.
They did not dare to break out. Even if the two of them were to break out of the encirclement, it would be a dead end for them. Hence, they could only stay in the Great Li City.
"Brother Wang, it seems that the two of us are going to die here today!"
Long Hai bitterly smiled.
"That's right, they have been cultivating for countless years. I didn't expect that they would die in the hands of the Soul Devouring Tribe today. The Soul Devouring Tribe is even more terrifying than the legends!"
Wang Ming also let out a long sigh. At this moment, they had no way out. No matter what, they would not be able to escape.
Next, they could only wait for the Soul Devouring Tribe to enter the Great Li City. They could only choose to fight to the death.
The terrifying power of the Soul Devouring Tribe also caused no one in the Great Li City to dare to continue to break out of the encirclement.
Therefore, everyone in the Great Li City could only watch as the Soul Devouring Race set up the trap array.
Time slowly passed, and the trap array was quickly completed. Very soon, the Soul Devouring Tribe completely finished setting up the trap array.
An enormous trap array had tightly trapped the entire Great Li City. This trap array was extremely terrifying. Even if a Divine Emperor Realm expert wanted to leave, it wouldn't be that easy.
For everyone in the Great Li City, this was a hopeless situation.
Everyone looked at the barrier array above them. Their hearts were filled with despair, especially those who were weak.
Even if they didn't have this trap array, they still wouldn't be able to escape. Now that they had this trap array, their deaths were even more tragic. Many people even chose to commit suicide, not wanting to be killed by the Soul Devouring Tribe.
The Great Li City was also filled with an aura of death. Many people were already prepared to die.
At the same time, outside of the Great Li City, after the Soul Devouring Tribe's army had finished setting up the trap array, they also started to attack the Great Li City.
Countless attacks were launched towards the defensive arrays. Countless black holes rose up in the army of the Soul Devouring Race. These black holes were huge and endless.
Then, like a giant hammer, it crazily struck the surface of the Dali city's defensive array.
These black holes were filled with a terrifying devouring power. When they crashed into the Dali City's defensive array, they began to frantically devour the power of the defensive array.
Under the attacks of these black holes, the power of the defensive formation was being consumed at a crazy rate. The cultivation resources inside the formation were also being consumed at a crazy rate.
These cultivation resources were being consumed at a rate visible to the naked eye. They were being rapidly absorbed by the defensive formation.
The people responsible for guarding these cultivation resources all paled when they saw that these resources were being consumed at a crazy rate.
At this rate of consumption, it would not be long before all the cultivation resources were absorbed.
At that time, without the support of cultivation resources, the defensive array would quickly break.
However, there was nothing they could do right now, because almost everyone in the Great Li City had given up their cultivation resources.
They no longer had any extra cultivation resources to maintain their defensive array, so they had no way out. They could only pray that their defensive array would be able to hold on for a bit longer.
Perhaps there would be an invisible force to back them up.
