No matter the element, these giants possessed unfathomable vitality and were immune to magic damage. Their health points were calculated in the tens or even hundreds of thousands. Even if each Immortal could inflict tons of damage, it was not easy to kill a giant. They could only try to blast them off the mountains, hoping they would fall to their deaths. But even if they didn't die from the fall, the goal was to slow down their assault. This truly was a war that exhausted everyone's spirit. The Immortals unleashed their spells to the utmost, going all out in their efforts, and with the help of many Loose Immortals. Yet despite this, the giants gradually made their way into Penglai Immortal City.
The first to break into the Fairy City were the Earth-Wood Type giants at the forefront. Lacking ranged attack capabilities, they had little means to harm the Immortals above, but they were free to wreak havoc on the structures of Penglai Immortal City. These giants were huge and incredibly strong; a thrust of their fists resembled large battering rams, often bringing down entire buildings with a single smash. Fortunately, due to being the first to engage in battle, there were no more than ten of them left. Nevertheless, the Immortals were still unable to deal with them effectively for the time being, since they had their hands full with the more formidable Fire, Electric, and Ice giants. The Ice giants were few in number, but their attack power was far from weak. Ice spikes sprayed from their bodies as they shook, with dozens on each giant. Often a single volley would create a wall of spikes that engulfed the Immortals, leaving them no room to dodge, forcing them to resist with defensive spells. These ice spikes also came with a slowing debuff, causing anyone struck by them to significantly slow down, to the great frustration of the Immortals. Meanwhile, the Earth-Wood giants that were being ignored were joyously destroying the city, with two of them even charging towards the Golden Immortal Palace, seemingly intent on demolishing this symbolic structure of Penglai Immortal City.
The non-flying civilians and the Golden Armored Guards in the city had now found their purpose, hacking away at the Earth-Stone Giants. However, the monsters had thick skin and plenty of health points, rendering the civilians' attacks very ineffective.
Xiao Buli dodged around, taking care to avoid being mistakenly injured, while watching the battle unfold before him. He wanted to help, but considering his meager strength—no more effective than tickling a giant—he thus refrained from joining the fray.
Just then, a Golden Armored Soldier ran past him, irritated by his apparent gawking, and shouted, "Aren't you going to help?" Startled by the shout, Xiao Buli turned around only to have a dialogue box suddenly appear before him.
Triggered Quest: Assist in the Defense of Fairy City
Quest Details: Help defend the city and attack the Ancient Demons besieging it.
Well, that could work? Initially thinking he would be of no help, Xiao Buli immediately clicked to accept upon seeing the quest. There were no prerequisites to this quest; it did not require holding the city or killing the demons. It seemed tailor-made for him based on the difficulty level and his own capabilities. Since he could complete the task with minimal effort, there was no reason not to accept.
As soon as he clicked accept, the Golden Armored Soldier, with a commanding presence, ran off to attack a nearby giant. Xiao Buli hastily followed, leaping onto the giant's foot, which spanned several meters. If he were to be stepped on, his current condition would leave him in severe pain, if not dead. The psychological pressure of not fighting a monster in front of a computer made Xiao Buli unwilling to hack aimlessly at the giant's toes like the rest. Instead, he leaped onto the back of the giant's foot and drew his sword, striking hard at the giant's toes.
This strike was unexpectedly effective. The giant, in pain, lifted its foot abruptly. As its other leg was also under attack by the Golden Armored Soldiers, it became unsteady and, to everyone's surprise, fell to the ground. The people below scattered as the fifty-meter-tall giant crashed down, resembling a minor earthquake. But the soldiers and civilians saw their opportunity as the giant lay on the ground; without hesitation, they converged on its head and attacked all at once, managing to keep the giant down.
The melee on one side was chaotic, but on the other side two Earth-Stone Giants were advancing towards the Golden Immortal Palace. The immortals floating in the sky saw this all too clearly and naturally grew very anxious.
"We mustn't let them destroy the Golden Immortal Palace. Fellow immortals, quickly summon the Elemental Spirits and try to hold off these Ancient Demons! Watch as I activate the Nine Dragons Demon Binding Formation!" An immortal, whose voice thundered across the sky like a shock, called out the orders. The sound echoed endlessly in the heavens, and the combatting immortals, who were casting spells and fighting with sword control, heard this and immediately abandoned their current targets. They gathered together and began to rush towards a certain location within the city.
Small summoned creatures were of no use in a battle of this level, hence their summoning skills were extraordinary. A huge Summoning Formation was visible on an open area to the west of the city. Because it was relatively close to the city center, it had not yet been damaged by the giants. The immortals had clearly reached a consensus on this beforehand and, at this moment, none wasted any words.
The immortals took their places in the Formation, some positions requiring only one person, others several, or even a dozen. It was unclear whether this was a requirement of the Array or if some immortals' mana was insufficient, but everyone settled in position.
An elder in the center shouted, "Activate the Array." He formed a spell with his hands, and a beam of red light shot into the sky. Seeing this, the other Immortal Families immediately followed suit, their spells unceasing and various forms of Immortal Qi converging. The lines drawn on the ground of the Array gradually lit up, as if awakened, and suddenly, a white light surged into the sky, forming the massive silhouette of an Elemental Body.
The Array took less than half a minute to activate and materialize an Elemental Giant, showcasing the immense power of these immortals. The first Elemental Giant stepped out of the Array as soon as its limbs had taken shape. Shortly thereafter, another giant Elemental Figure congealed within the halo of light. To put it simply, these immortals utilized the Array and in no time had created over a dozen Elemental Giants. These colossi stood tens of meters tall, including Rock Giants, Clay Giants, and even two Storm Giants, whose lower halves were swirling tornadoes and upper halves were humanoid forms so indistinct and dark they were barely visible. These Storm Giants moved swiftly, leaving behind cyclone-swept paths that seemed even more destructive than the sieging giants.

These giants from the Array stood still for only a few seconds, as if receiving some command, and then charged towards the attacking Hill Giants. Although the Elemental Giants were not nearly as strong or agile as their hill-attacking counterparts, being at a disadvantage in terms of both health points and strength, their immense size helped to slow down the advance of the invading giants.

At this point, the situation didn't look good for anyone involved—the Ancient Demons ascending the mountain, the remaining Loose Immortals in the sky, the Earth-Stone Giants within the city, and the mortals, Golden Armored Guards, summoned Elemental Giants, as well as the two Hill Giants attempting to destroy the Golden Immortal Palace. Everyone was fully engaged, with no room to spare a thought for others.
During this deadlock, suddenly there was a sound of rocks crumbling from the sky. Xiao Buli turned towards the Golden Immortal Palace, which was hidden within the white clouds behind him, and to his astonishment, the palace, which was decorated with nine golden dragons stretching a hundred meters along the walls, roof, and columns, came to life. The cracking noises had been the sound of stone breaking as the dragons moved. In a short while, nine golden dragons rose into the sky, and after whirling about for a moment, they dove towards the threefold battle. (To be continued.
