In the end, Celestial Star Sect still couldn't save all the mortals.
Facing the beast tide that was like an ocean, the cultivators, who were mostly skilled in individual combat, were at a huge disadvantage without relying on arrays.
In terms of individual combat power, human cultivators with magical treasures, talismans, elixirs, spells, arrays, and other aids were generally stronger than demon beasts of the same level.
But...
This was not a 1v1 arena solo, nor was it a step-by-step academy tournament.
Where is the fairness and equal match in a real battlefield?
Aside from Celestial Star Child, who trapped the Red Tiger Demon King, everyone from Nascent Soul down to Qi Refining had to face opponents several times their number, and the further down the ranks you go, the more exaggerated the number becomes.
A Qi Refining Cultivator even had to face dozens of demon beasts of the same level at once.
