# Chapter 1055: Realm Sons Arrive
Behind the sandstorm was a group of lion-camel beasts.
Their bodies were five to six meters tall, with lion-like heads and sharp teeth, yet camel-like bodies covered in scales and equipped with sharp claws.
Among the barbarian beast herd, there were two lion-camel beast kings.
Their bodies were dozens of zhang tall, like two small mountains.
One lion-camel beast king had cyan-colored scales; the other had crimson-red scales.
Near the cyan lion-camel beast king, for several li in every direction, the ground was covered in ice, while snowflakes drifted through the sky.
Near the crimson-red lion-camel beast king, the area had completely turned into a fire domain, burning the yellow sand red as if about to melt.
Wan Huayu's pupils contracted as she stared at the two lion-camel beast kings and the densely packed lion-camel beasts. She inhaled a breath of cold air, feeling a chill in her heart.
Moreover, with two beast kings appearing simultaneously, it was almost enough to make one despair.
The other human forces that had rushed out of Yingsha City also felt their hearts sink halfway, contemplating retreat and wanting to flee back into the city.
However, given the current situation, trying to escape back to Yingsha City would likely come at a heavy price.
"We shouldn't have recklessly rushed out of Yingsha City. It's even more dangerous outside," some cultivators felt regret.
"We must break through before the lion-camel beast herd surrounds us, otherwise we risk total annihilation."
Zhang Ruochen shouted loudly, "Great Minister of Works, Second Minister of Works, immediately go and suppress the two lion-camel beast kings. You will lead the way from now on."
Earlier, Great Minister of Works and Second Minister of Works had been responsible for defense and had not taken the initiative to attack.
The main reason was that Zhang Ruochen did not want them to get stained with too much blood, worried it might affect their cultivation.
But the current situation was different; he needed to borrow their strength to break through as quickly as possible.
"Just the two of them, monks, going to deal with two beast kings? Are you sure you're not sending them to their deaths?"
Sun Dadi had never seen Great Minister of Works and Second Minister of Works in action and was very skeptical of their strength.
"Young lad, this humble monk's supreme Buddhist dharma is beyond your understanding."
Great Minister of Works looked at Sun Dadi with a contemptuous gaze, rolling up both sleeves.
Then, he extended a golden, radiant hand, patted Sun Dadi on the shoulder, and walked to the front of the battle formation.
"Subduing the Tiger, Suppressing Hell." Great Minister of Works formed fist seals with both hands, and immediately, surging Buddhist light burst forth. A loud tiger roar sounded from within his body.
Following that, a white tiger phantom over ten meters long materialized, overlapping with Great Minister of Works' body.
His formidable aura erupted completely.
Especially when the tiger roar sounded, all the barbarian beasts within several hundred li felt shocked and trembled. Some barbarian birds let out mournful cries and fell from midair.
Even Sun Dadi was startled, immediately retreating more than ten steps back. He said in surprise, "This big monk's cultivation seems to be quite profound. Since there's such a powerful expert, why didn't you have them attack earlier?"
"They are Buddhist cultivators and should try not to kill," Zhang Ruochen said with a serious expression.
Sun Dadi stared at the fat-headed, big-eared Great Minister of Works and chuckled, not seeing at all how that big monk resembled a Buddhist cultivator.
"Roar!"
A dragon's cry sounded!
A massive black dragon materialized, merging with Second Minister of Works' body, emitting an aura as powerful as Great Minister of Works'.
Great Minister of Works and Second Minister of Works attacked simultaneously, each facing one of the lion-camel beast kings.
"Bang bang."
The two lion-camel beast kings were completely unable to withstand the two monks' attacks, continuously retreating backward. Their massive claws instead trampled some of the weaker lion-camel beasts to death.
Seeing this scene, the human cultivators outside the city all showed expressions of wild joy.
"Where did these two such fierce men suddenly come from, actually able to suppress the beast kings?"
"Those two monks should be the two ruthless men from the 'Half-Saint External List,' Great Minister of Works and Second Minister of Works. Their combat power is naturally terrifyingly extraordinary. The two monks together can fight to a draw with the former number one human expert below the Saint realm, Kong Hongbi."
The human cultivators who could enter the "Half-Saint List" and "Half-Saint External List" totaled only a little over two hundred people.
Identifying Great Minister of Works and Second Minister of Works was not a difficult task.
"Our chance has come. Take this opportunity to rush out quickly."
Great Minister of Works and Second Minister of Works attracted the attention of most of the barbarian beasts, and the pressure on the other human cultivators immediately lightened.
The several human forces outside the city immediately began to break out, charging toward the vast, boundless desert.
As long as they escaped the encirclement of the barbarian beast herds, it would be like a hidden dragon entering the sea. They could roam freely throughout the Azure Dragon Ruins Realm, and as long as they found heavenly materials and earthly treasures, they could quickly transform into top-tier experts.
All the human cultivators who had rushed out of the city were extremely excited, feeling a strong sense of superiority.
The human cultivators still in the city, however, were very envious and jealous, desperately charging toward the city gates, trying to break free from their cage.
"Not a single human cultivator will escape."
A loud shout came from above the clouds.
Immediately after, a dragon claw several hundred meters in size extended from the clouds, emitting a wild, desolate aura, as if an ancient demon dragon had emerged.
On the dragon claw, each scale was as large as a winnowing basket, and the vast demonic aura swept across the entire heaven and earth.
"Devouring Demon Dragon?" Zhang Ruochen looked up, staring at the cloud-sized claw, feeling a chill run down his spine. A cold air surged from the soles of his feet, making his entire body go numb.
Mu Rongyue, Han Qiu, Zhao Shiqi, Sun Dadi, and even the high-ranking half-saints of the Mu Rong family all turned pale, their legs trembling uncontrollably.
Although the Devouring Demon Dragon's cultivation had not reached the Saint realm, the aura it emitted was even more terrifying than some Saint realm titans.
Among them, an alliance formed by a first-rate sect, with nearly a hundred half-Saint realm experts, activated a combined attack formation, trying to block the dragon claw's attack.
Boom!
Before the combined attack formation could fully take shape, the dragon claw had already descended, piercing through the semi-transparent formation light shield with irresistible force.
"Pfft."
"Run quickly..."
A large wave of screams sounded.
With just one claw, dozens of half-saints fell, their bodies turned into bloody mud.
The remaining half-saints, with stronger cultivations, managed to save their lives but were also severely injured, immediately fleeing in all directions.
It was too terrifying. The Devouring Demon Dragon hadn't even revealed its true body, yet just one dragon claw could easily kill dozens of half-saints.
Inside Yingsha City, panic also set in. All the human cultivators were shocked by the Devouring Demon Dragon's power.
With such a terrifying creature, if it charged into Yingsha City, how many human cultivators could survive?
"Oh!"
Zhang Ruochen sensed something and looked up into the sky.
He saw a flaming meteorite rapidly descending from beyond the heavens, falling toward Yingsha City.
However, the flaming meteorite's speed gradually slowed until it finally stopped completely, hovering above Yingsha City.
The flames gradually dissipated, revealing a ruins realm warship.
On the warship stood several thousand human cultivators, each one a top-tier expert. They unfolded their movement techniques, turning into black specks as they leaped down from the deck.
Among them, two figures were most eye-catching.
One was a man and one was a woman.
The man had a rather sturdy build, handsome features, wearing a set of golden battle armor, holding a qilin long lance, with a purple-red cape draped over his shoulders.
The woman wore a white martial robe, carrying a cyan ancient sword on her back. Her face was beautiful and elegant, like a sword immortal stepping out of a scroll painting.
Cultivators in Yingsha City had already recognized them.
"One of the Nine Realm Sons, Chi Wansui of Lingxiao Heavenly King Manor, has finally arrived. We're saved!"
"One of the Nine Realm Sons, Beigong Lan, the Young Venerable of the Martial Market Academy, has arrived at Yingsha City base. Which barbarian beast king can withstand a single sword strike from her?"
"With two Realm Sons here, they will surely be able to drive all the barbarian beasts out of the city."
All the human cultivators became excited, as if injected with stimulants, erupting with twelve-tenths of their combat power as they frantically attacked the barbarian beasts.
Additionally, the several human forces outside the city had pinned down part of the barbarian beast herds, preventing new barbarian beasts from charging into Yingsha City.
Finally, the human cultivators gradually suppressed the barbarian beasts, launching a full-scale counterattack.
Chi Wansui and Beigong Lan simultaneously flew down from the deck, landing in Yingsha City, and launched attacks against the six beast kings in the city.
"How dare you step into a human military base?"
Chi Wansui swung his qilin long lance forward, and a large wave of holy light surged out, sending the Golden Armor Scorpion King flying sideways. With a boom, it crashed to the ground.
With the Golden Armor Scorpion King's combat power, it couldn't even withstand a single blow from Chi Wansui.
Beigong Lan formed sword seals with her two jade-like fingers, executing a Sword Five technique. The holy sword turned into a light shuttle and flew out.
"Pfft!"
The cyan holy sword pierced straight through the Fire Golden Crow Beast King flying in the sky, leaving a bowl-sized bloody hole in its abdomen.
The Fire Golden Crow Beast King's body swayed unsteadily, nearly falling from midair.
The other four beast kings in Yingsha City immediately charged forward, joining forces with the Golden Armor Scorpion King and the Fire Golden Crow Beast King, trying to suppress Chi Wansui and Beigong Lan.
However, the two Realm Sons' cultivation was terrifyingly boundless, beating back the six beast kings in the city step by step. After a short while, four of the beast kings were severely injured and charged out of the city, preparing to flee.
Only the Golden Armor Scorpion King and the Six-Armed Ape King could barely hold on, but their bodies were still covered in blood. Their defeat was only a matter of time.
"Haha! The Realm Sons that the Empress cultivated with all of humanity's resources have finally appeared. I'll come and test you, to see if you have real talent and learning."
A dragon's cry sounded from within the clouds, with rings of sound waves that could travel a thousand li.
Immediately after, a black demon dragon with a body dozens of li long flew out from the clouds, charging toward the breach in the northern city wall of Yingsha City.
Its body rapidly shrank, and by the time it landed on the ground, it was only dozens of zhang long.
Even with its body shrunk, the aura emitted by the black demon dragon did not diminish.
Wherever it flew, black clouds rolled, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled, presenting a terrifying scene of doomsday. (To be continued.)
