General Bin Wei breathed heavily. The teeth marks left on her lips were obvious. Fresh blood was flowing out of them!

“You will not cross this place, never will!” Bin Wei built a spiritual wall in her heart. She would endure every impact without frowning even the slightest, regardless of how strong they were!

The Wall was collapsing rapidly just a moment ago. It almost allowed some of the Underworld creatures to cross the line of defense, but that suddenly came to a stop when General Bin Wei’s eyes glittered with determination. The Wall recovered swiftly under her fearless gaze.

The shield did not fall. The Twin-Bodied Demon Cows and the Underworld Executioners were crushed to pieces!

“Well…well done!” The Prophet’s eyes regained their focus. He had thought they were doomed for an instant!

They had survived the most difficult time. It was time for them to conquer these Underworld creatures with the power of the Wall!

“Prophet, one of the fire pillars is gone…” General Bin Wei’s aide-de-camp blurted out in astonishment.

“It’s Jian’an Pass,” the prophet lifted his gaze and looked in the direction where a fire pillar was gradually dying.

Even though the Northguard Fortress survived, Jian’an Pass had still fallen. It was something they did not expect. They had still underestimated the Underworld creatures!

“Ask the remaining six Geomancers to fill up the gaps immediately. We can’t allow the wall to have any openings!” the Prophet ordered.

The only way to relay information was through the Magic Fire Beacons. The fall of Jian’an Pass had placed the other Magic Fire Beacons under greater pressure.

General Bin Wei had clarified that the total mass of the Great Wall would not change. Therefore, they would have to make up for the fallen Jian’an Pass with the other seven segments. They could not afford to modify the Wall’s thickness, and they could barely modify the length depending on the enemy’s movement, which meant they could only reduce its height!

The wall was around seventy meters tall on average, but in front of the Northguard Fortress it was around eighty meters. That was high enough to stop all Underworld creatures except those of the Ruler-level. Not many of the creatures had such ridiculous sizes.

However, the height of the wall immediately dropped to around sixty meters to fill the gaps of the fallen section. That immediately allowed some of the Underworld creatures to climb over their comrades’ bodies and reach the top of the wall!

The Twin-Bodied Demon Cows did not smash through the wall. The rest of the undead army had arrived now. The creatures above three meters tall began to stack up in layers in the pool of blood, while the others started climbing the heaping mounds of flesh that their comrades had piled up into. After reaching a height of thirty meters, they also turned into stepping stones for the undead behind them…

Most Underworld creatures were not particularly huge. The process of them stacking up their bodies to form ladders for the rest to climb up the walls was not as quick as the humans had imagined. They were making their way to the top of the Great Wall, but their numbers were simply too overwhelming. It was only a matter of time until they stacked up into mountains of flesh over sixty meters high!

“My Heavens!” the aide-de-camp stood at the edge and glanced down the wall. His vision was filled up with squirming heads and incomplete bodies. The sight was so close that he almost fainted from trypophobic revulsion.

As a matter of fact, the terrifying scene was not just happening in front of the aide-de-camp. Almost every spot along the wall had a mound of flesh being stacked up. They were all mashed up together, the creatures were only revealing a hand or a head. Some were even crushed by their comrades. Their blood poured out from the hill of flesh. Their hands, arms, and legs were falling off the mounds like sand particles!

“They are climbing up the Wall. How are we supposed to stop them!?” The aide-de-camp began to panic.

The soldiers subconsciously backed away from the edge. The rotten smell of the detestable undead was within inches. Their movement and ghastly roars were a couple dozen meters away. They were already overwhelmed by the fear of being eaten alive, even though they had yet to come into contact with the Underworld creatures!

“Hold your ground, the ancient shield of our country has a magic formation built in it. It will not let the creatures reach the top of the Wall!” the Prophet said.

The line of defense would lose its purpose if the undead could just climb over it. Many Warrior-level creatures could easily jump to a height of fifty meters!

“Realm of the Heavens!”

General Bin Wei was obviously the one to activate the magic formation. When she directed her will into the Magic Fire Beacon, ancient Runes began to surface on the Great Wall. The Runes emitted a brown light as they fell off the walls like leaves.

The Leaf Runes slowly floated down. When they came into contact with the undead, they immediately pressed down upon the creatures. The undead began to fall as if a great weight was crashing upon them, and smashed heavily onto the ground. Their flesh and blood scattered across the place!

More Leaf Runes appeared and fell upon the undead ceaselessly. Even those that landed on the ground would mark the place with the same light that the walls were emitting, increasing the gravity on the spot!

The force applied to any creature trying to cross the wall. Their bodies were now several times heavier, as if they were tied with heavy chains…

The gravitational force grew stronger closer to the top of the walls. If they were on the ground, the gravity applied to the creatures was only normal. It would multiply ten times as soon as the undead climbed ten meters up the wall, and fifty times when they climbed twenty meters up…

When the ramps of flesh were over thirty meters high, the undead at the top of the mounds were under a hundred times the pressure, instantly crushing those beneath them to pulp!

Blood poured down from the hills of flesh once again. Thousands of the undead were blended into a disgusting pot of porridge, resulting in a sickening sight.

The hills of flesh that the undead tried so hard to stack up soon collapsed after the magic formation was activated. Even Warrior-level, Commander-level, or Ruler-level creatures could not escape from it!

The overwhelming weight suppressed the Underworld creatures and helped to stabilize the situation. It also gave the people on the Wall a chance to catch their breaths!
