378: Chapter 378 Demon Tide

This time, the Small World had expanded by another fold.

Once it devours the third piece of ordinary world Origin, this Small World will be able to advance into a Low Grade world.

"Huh!"

When Chen Hu's Divine Sense inadvertently swept across the Small World,

he was surprised to discover that Spirit Medicine had grown in quite a few places.

Although the highest grade among these Spirit Medicine was only Tier 3,

it must be said that this was good news.

If it evolves into a Low Grade world, wouldn't it be able to grow Tier 4 and Tier 5 Spirit Medicine?

Meanwhile,

in the Heavenly Demon Domain,

Shangguan Feng was hovering above a city.

Yesterday, over three million Mortals still resided here,

but now, the city had turned into a ghost town.

Moreover, this was not the first ghost town he had seen.

The number of ghost towns he had discovered alone was over twenty.

The Mortals of the Heavenly Demon Domain were not only the blood-food raised by their Heavenly Demon Sect, but also the cradle providing them with talent.

Now that so many Mortals were being abducted, wasn't this snatching food from their Heavenly Demon Sect's very bowl?

"Could it be the work of the Seven Emotions Sword Sect?"

Shangguan Feng secretly suspected in his heart.

The next moment,

he used a communication talisman to report the situation he had observed to Elder Xiao Yi.

Upon learning that a large number of Mortals in the Heavenly Demon Domain had gone missing en masse, Xiao Yi dispatched 24 Nascent Soul direct Disciples to investigate.

According to the news sent back by these Nascent Soul direct Disciples,

the number of missing Mortals had already exceeded 9 billion.

For the Heavenly Demon Sect, this was no small matter.

Therefore, she did not linger any longer and returned to the Heavenly Demon Sect at maximum speed.

"Greetings, Sect Master!"

Xiao Yi bowed in salute.

"Rise and speak!" Sect Leader Zhangsun Tu said indifferently.

Xiao Yi said in a deep voice: "Sect Master, according to statistics, in these past few days, the number of missing Mortals has reached over 9 billion. Furthermore, this only counts the cities and not the villages, so the true population loss is even higher than 9 billion!"

Hearing this, Sect Leader Zhangsun Tu frowned slightly, and a surge of killing intent welled up in his heart. Over nine billion people—that was over nine billion portions of blood-food.

If all of it were utilized for the Disciples under his Sect,

how many Golden Core and how many Nascent Soul Realm experts could be cultivated?

Thus, he sent a voice transmission to the Hall Master of the Zhuifeng Hall, ordering him to come over.

Soon,

Zhuifeng Hall Master Sun Buping arrived.

After the salutations, Sect Leader Zhangsun Tu's slightly hoarse voice rang out: "Hall Master Sun, in the past few days, over nine billion Mortals have gone missing within our Heavenly Demon Domain. I order you to send men to investigate this matter immediately!"

"Yes, your subordinate obeys!" Sun Buping immediately accepted the order.

Subsequently, Sect Leader Zhangsun Tu's gaze fell upon Xiao Yi: "Elder Xiao, I have a task for you: sneak into the July Domain quietly and see if this matter has anything to do with the Seven Emotions Sword Sect!"

"Yes, your subordinate obeys!" Xiao Yi also replied immediately.

"Go!"

"Yes!"

Meanwhile,

in a forest somewhere in the July Domain,

suddenly,

the Void Realm tore open, and a massive rift appeared.

Then, one after another, exotic beasts covered in black scales, shaped like tigers and leopards, and exuding ferocious auras flew out from the rift.

In just half a quarter of an hour,

as many as thirty thousand exotic beasts had flown out from the rift.

Next,

three humanoid monsters, also covered in black scales, flew out from the rift.

The ferocious aura emanating from their bodies was even more intense.

Sensing the aura on them, all thirty thousand-plus exotic beasts lay on the ground to show submission.

Suddenly, a red light flashed in the eyes of one of the humanoid monsters,

and those exotic beasts lying on the ground began to move.

They turned in unison and flew rapidly in one direction.

Baifeng City

was an ordinary city in the July Domain.

There were a few cultivation Families within this city, but the strongest among these cultivation Families was only at the ninth level of Foundation Establishment, not even having a single Golden Core expert.

Therefore, the population of this city was not large, only around 3 million.

Suddenly,

the soldier guarding the city wall felt the ground trembling.

He looked into the distance against the night sky and vaguely saw a black torrent approaching Baifeng City at extreme speed.

"Boss, something bad, it seems like a Demon Tide is coming!"

The soldier Han Xin shouted in a panicked tone.

The captain, who was dozing off against the city wall, heard this and immediately ran to the edge of the wall to look into the distance.

His martial arts cultivation was much stronger than Han Xin's, so he could see more clearly.

Seeing the black torrent approaching at high speed, he couldn't help but gasp, then shouted: "Quick, beat the gongs!"

"Clang, clang, clang!"

The harsh sound of gongs on the city wall reached into the city,

instantly startling the sleeping residents.

The City Lord's Mansion, along with the several large Foundation Establishment Families, all reacted and immediately sent people toward the city wall.

Unfortunately, those monsters were faster.

Before the people from the City Lord's Mansion and the Foundation Establishment Families could reach the city wall,

those monsters had already leaped onto the wall, killing and devouring all the soldiers on it.

"Roar, roar, roar!"

The roaring of the monsters carried far into the night, and the residents who heard the sound subconsciously felt a surge of fear.

The next moment, these monsters occupying the city wall leaped down one by one, pouncing toward the soldiers of the City Lord's Mansion and the Cultivators of the Foundation Establishment Families.

"Kill!"

The two parties immediately launched a counterattack,

but the result of the counterattack made them feel despair.

Because their attacks landed on these monsters covered in scales, and all that was heard were clanging sounds; even Medium Grade Magical Artifacts smashing onto them could not leave a single mark.

"Run!"

An ancestor of a Foundation Establishment Family shouted while retreating.

Especially seeing the monsters continuously emerging from the top of the city wall, a sense of despair welled up in his heart.

He knew that tonight, Baifeng City would likely be wiped out.

Just as this Foundation Establishment ancestor expected,

only a quarter of an hour passed,

and the entire Baifeng City was occupied by these monsters.

The million-plus people in the city were bitten and eaten by these monsters.

The remaining 2 million people were rounded up and kept in captivity by these monsters in one place.

Then, these monsters, having devoured a large number of humans, began to give birth to offspring.

And each litter had as many as 12 cubs.

As soon as these monster cubs adapted, they began to charge into the captive crowd to hunt and devour humans.

Every time they ate a person, their bodies would grow significantly larger.

When all 2 million residents of Baifeng City had been eaten, all 300,000-plus monster cubs had reached adulthood.

Likewise, the bodies of the three humanoid monsters had grown much larger as well.

Following that, a red light flashed in the eyes of the humanoid monsters, and the thirty-plus thousand monsters began to withdraw from Baifeng City, marching toward the next city.

Meanwhile,

Qingshan Sword Sect.

This was a small Sect, with the strongest in the Sect being an ancestor at the ninth level of the Nascent Soul Realm.

The one serving as the Sect Master was an existence at the fifth level of the Nascent Soul Realm.

Suddenly, a Golden Core Elder hurried to meet the Sect Master.

"Sect Master, something bad, Baifeng City has encountered a Demon Tide, it is very likely that it has already fallen!"

This Golden Core Elder's descendant had founded a Foundation Establishment Family in Baifeng City.

Before that descendant died, he had sent a message for help.

"What?"

The Sect Master of the Qingshan Sword Sect's expression changed drastically upon hearing this, and he immediately sent voice transmissions to all Golden Core Elders, ordering them to lead Disciples above the Foundation Establishment level to support Baifeng City.

In less than half an hour,

the Qingshan Sword Sect's forces arrived at Baifeng City,

but the entire city had already turned into a ghost town, a dead city; apart from the bloodstains scattered within the city, not a single person could be seen.
