If it were the complete light barrier, then Ji Jiayu would have no way to break it, even if he had the Holy Light Orb. If the one who set it up was a demon, then Ji Jiayu would still be helpless.

Fortunately, the light barrier wasn't currently in its complete form, nor was it set up by a demon, so for Ji Jiayu, there was still a glimmer of hope of breaking it.

"So, do you believe what I'm saying now?" Ji Jiayu flew over the crowd, and his slightly cold voice spread throughout.

He was met with silence and apologies, but his voice was too low for Ji Jiayu to hear.

"Now there are only two things we can do: first, use all feasible methods to compensate for the loss of divine power, and then kill the split divine beast that is devouring divine power." Ji Jiayu said, "Besides the Heavenly Apocalypse Fu, items like the Yao Glory and Spiritual Source can unleash a tremendous amount of divine power. Ming Zun and Ming Ling, who are below the sixth rank, can go into the ruins to search for these items. As for Ming Sheng, who is above the sixth rank, we must work together to dispose of the Split Holy Beast."

"Split Holy Beast?" When everyone heard this, they were all a little confused.

"The Split Holy Beast is a type of magical beast cultivated by the Light and Dark Demon Clan. Its ability is very simple: devouring divine power." Ji Jiayu said, "The Split Holy Beast's lifespan is short, and its strength level can be judged by the golden spikes on its back. One spike is a first-rank, and two spikes are a second rank. I just heard some people say that most of the Split Holy Beasts currently distributed at the entrance of Qiming City are eighth rank, and a few are ninth rank. The total should be around forty. Let's allocate them and then set off."

"Eighth rank? Ninth rank?"

"Split Holy Beast? I remember, isn't this the man-eating monster in the fabled legends back home?"

"The Split Holy Beast can not only devour divine power, but also restrain us!"

Some members of the Light Tribe were a little frightened when they heard the Split Holy Beast. They couldn't help but think to themselves, this is Qiming City, not their hometown. Even if the Light Barrier caused heavy casualties, it would also have consequences for the human race. They didn't need to fight the Split Holy Beast, and the place where the Split Holy Beast was located was still a sacred vacuum.

"No one wants to leave?" After a moment of silence, Ji Jiayu asked.

Everyone looked around and exchanged glances.

"I'll go!" Finally, someone took the initiative to stand up, and unsurprisingly, it was a human.

"I'll go too! It's just that I'm too weak. Ji Jiayu, do you have any good ways to deal with the Split Holy Beast?"

"I'll go too! The Light Supremacy Sect is also too excessive, not to mention using demonic methods to manipulate us. And what kind of light destroying the fortress and splitting the sacred beast is tolerable? It's simply intolerable!"

"I'll go too! This is my home, who will I go if I don't?!"

Accompanied by several enthusiastic young people standing up, countless human members enthusiastically registered. They were all cultivation geniuses discovered by the Sacred Sects from the three human regions. Their strength was quite good, and the human base in Qiming City was vast, so there were naturally many people with high cultivation levels. If they were to be forced into a tightrope to face the Split Sacred Beast, not to mention nine out of ten, they should have a 70% chance of winning.

"Without further ado, you can work together and find your target. Don't show off your abilities. Do your best. Even if a large group attacks them together, even if it takes a little longer, it doesn't matter; you can survive to be the most useful," Ji Jiayu instructed.

"What about you, Ji Jiayu?" Someone asked below.

"There's a peak ninth-level split-star divine beast at the south entrance of the city. I'll go there," Ji Jiayu said without hesitation.

Ji Jiayu's words undoubtedly aroused a wave of admiration. He only had the strength of a fifth-level Ming Venerate, yet he had to deal with a peak ninth-level split-star divine beast. Even if he had the holy pearl, it was still extraordinary.

However, everyone understood that Ji Jiayu's decision was definitely not made by a hot-headed person, but by the mysterious and unknown woman surrounding him.

After Ji Jiayu finished speaking, he flew towards the south of Qiming City with Nie Lanxi.

As for the members of the Guangming clan who hadn't stood up, he didn't look at them the entire time, didn't persuade them, and didn't show any expression of disgust, as if they didn't exist. His attitude was somewhat hurtful, but they had nothing to say.

On the way to the south of the city, Ji Jiayu was in a very bad mood. He had followed Ye Zihang to the south of the city before and knew how prosperous it had been not long ago, how many pedestrians there were on the streets, and how bright its future prospects were. However, now, under the influence of the Light Barrier, the entire south of the city was almost in ruins, and there were dead and wounded humans helping each other, and cries and screams almost shattered the clouds in the sky.

Ji Jiayu's eyes swept across the many human races, seemingly searching for someone.

Clearly, Ji Jiayu was looking for Ye Zihang. Ye Zihang lived in the south of the city, and his strength wasn't high, but he wasn't low either. As long as his life wasn't in danger, he would definitely be saving people right now.

However, what disappointed Ji Jiayu was that he flew all over the south of the city and didn't see any trace of Ye Zihang.

After flying along the official road for about five minutes, Ji Jiayu and Nie Lanxi saw a hill-like body lying there like a toad. Its skin shone like steel, and the nine large spikes on its back stood upright like the oldest tree in the forest, shining with a cold light. A large amount of divine power was being sucked into the abyss.

After arriving here, Ji Jiayu hadn't stopped thinking, because the method of dealing with the split-off divine beast had been clearly laid out: one was to use divine power to overwhelm it; the other was to defeat it head-on; The third method was to use a special divine power to break its devouring power and prevent it from devouring divine power.

First of all, there was definitely no need to think about overwhelming it with divine power. If Qiming City possessed so much divine power, where would he be able to do these things? Don't even think about defeating it head-on, because neither he nor Nie Lanhu possessed that power.

The Split Holy Beast was renowned for its dual abilities of devouring and defending, and a peak ninth-order Split Holy Beast could often only be killed by a powerhouse of at least the tenth-order Star God.

Then there was only one final method left: using a special divine power to break its devouring power and prevent it from continuing to devour divine power.

The divine power within the Holy Light Orb and the divine power transformed by the Holy Light Orb were extremely special and pure, possessing exceptional purification power. They could be said to be the natural nemesis of the Split Holy Beast.

The only drawback of this method was that Ji Jiayu's strength was too weak, and the divine power contained within and transformed by the Holy Light Pearl was insufficient. It would take at least ten to fifteen minutes to break the devouring power of a peak ninth-order Split Holy Beast.

If one head was like this, what about dozens of heads? How could Qiming City wait so long?

It could be seen from this point that Ji Jiayu didn't actually place his hopes on the human race; they were too weak. Furthermore, the Split Holy Beast wasn't a sacred beast, but a magical beast!

"Boom!"

Amidst his anxiety, Ji Jiayu activated the Bead of Holy Light and began to devour and transform divine power in all directions. He then released his divine power toward the peak ninth-level Split Holy Beast not far away.

At the same time, at many other checkpoints in Qiming City, battles between the human race and the Split Holy Beast also began, but from the very beginning, they were completely defeated.
