92: Beast Tide? Sorry, are there any other methods?

Before the gates of the Bronze Palace, more and more people gathered.

These were all the arrogant and haughty Prodigies from the well-known Sects in the Southern Region's various provinces.

The lowest among them was a Grandmaster.

Most of them were already Great Grandmasters!

In their daily lives, which of these individuals wasn't a revered existence? Gathered together now, the air was thick with a gunpowder-like scent of "I am the best in the world."

"Hmph, Chu Feng of the Profound Sword Sect is here too? Wasn't he in secluded cultivation, attempting to break through to the Heavenly Human Realm?"

"Isn't Li Hankong of the Black Moon Sect here too? Why haven't I seen him?"

The crowd formed small groups, clearly delineated, their gazes clashing in the air, sparking invisible flames.

Each person regarded those around them as their biggest competitors.

In their view, the Opportunities within this Secret Realm would ultimately be decided among this group of people.

As for those Loose Cultivators or Disciples from small Sects who lacked strength?

Heh, they were just cannon fodder.

It was in this tense, volatile, and eerie atmosphere that a sudden change occurred!

Rumble—!

The ground began to tremble violently without any warning!

The commotion was more terrifying than a landslide, more dreadful than an earthquake!

It was as if an ancient Vicious Beast that had slumbered for eons had awakened from the depths of the earth's core!

"What's going on?!"

"An earthquake?!"

Every Prodigy present, without exception, had a drastic change in expression, their True Qi and Internal Energy surging uncontrollably within them as they forcefully stabilized their bodies.

They looked in horror towards the source of the tremor.

On the distant horizon, rolling smoke and dust blotted out the sky!

A terrifying aura, mixed with savagery, bloodlust, and madness, swept over like a black tsunami, overwhelming everything!

"It's... it's a Beast Tide!"

Someone, no one knew who, let out a scream filled with endless terror and disbelief!

A Beast Tide!

And not just an ordinary Beast Tide!

Amidst the rolling smoke and dust, countless scarlet eyes and colossal, heart-pounding, ferocious figures could be vaguely seen!

Yao Beasts of the Innate Realm were as numerous as cattle!

Yao Beasts of the Grandmaster Realm were everywhere!

There were also more than a dozen emitting the pressure of at least a Great Grandmaster Realm, and most importantly, the two leading ones had auras that surpassed Great Grandmasters!

Heavenly Human Yao Beasts!

"This is insane! This is absolutely insane!"

"How could such a massive Beast Tide erupt in the Hidden Venerable Secret Realm?!"

"Quick! Form a formation! Prepare to face the enemy!"

The Prodigies, who a second ago were arrogant and defiant towards each other, had lost all their pride, their faces pale, their souls in terror, and without a second thought, they each formed battle formations, as if facing a formidable enemy!

A Beast Tide of this magnitude was no longer something that could be resolved by individual combat.

Although these people were the elites of the Southern Region, once they were engulfed by this endless Beast Tide, there was only one outcome...

Death!

On the cliff.

Chen Beixuan looked at the panicked and chaotic crowd below, a sinister and cruel arc forming at the corner of his mouth.

In his hand, the "Myriad Beasts Soul Guiding Banner," engraved with countless beast shadows, was emitting an eerie black light.

"Struggle, you ants!"

"In the face of absolute power, your pride, your talent, are worthless!"

"Once you are nearly exhausted, I will descend and hunt down each and every one of you so-called 'Prodigies'! Most importantly, those four!"

He seemed to already see his glorious future: absorbing the Luck of all the Prodigies, his cultivation skyrocketing, and finally ascending to the Peak of the Martial Dao!

However!

Just as the Beast Tide was about to make contact with the group of Prodigies!

Four streaks of light, without any warning, appeared above the battlefield!

"What is that?!"

Everyone, including Chen Beixuan hidden in the shadows, was startled and instinctively looked up.

They saw four figures suspended in the air above.

Two males and two females.

The white-robed young man leading them was handsome and composed.

Beside him, a delicate little girl, with a topknot, was curiously observing the dense Beast Tide below, her large, dark eyes showing not a hint of fear, but rather... excitement, as if seeing "lots of meat"?

On the other side was a defiant young man dressed in black and red brocade, carrying an exaggeratedly large Xuan Heavy Ruler, and a stunning woman in a light blue palace dress, with a cold demeanor, like the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady descending to the mortal world.

They... were flying?!

Flying in the air!

This, damn it, wasn't this a method only available to Heavenly Human Realm cultivators?!

Everyone's minds buzzed; when did Heavenly Human Realm cultivators become able to enter the Secret Realm?

"A bunch of beasts."

Lin Fan simply unleashed a punch through the air at the black torrent-like Beast Tide below!

Boom—!

The power of a single punch seemed to stir the mighty forces of heaven and earth!

A golden fist Qi swept out!

Those Yao Beasts, which the Southern Region Prodigies considered too powerful to defeat, were turned into meat paste and even minced meat before this punch.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"

A series of dull explosions!

Hundreds of Yao Beasts at the very front, unable to even let out a scream, had their bodies explode into clouds of blood mist, as if struck head-on by a siege hammer!

The power of one punch had forcefully cleared a vacuum zone of several hundred zhang within the Beast Tide!

"My turn! My turn!"

Xiao Huohuo, seeing the hunt, cried out excitedly!

Without thinking, he swung his Xuan Heavy Ruler in a wide arc and slammed it down with a crash onto the densest part of the Beast Tide!

As the Ruler struck, wind and thunder stirred!

The air seemed to ignite!

Rumble—!

The power of one Ruler strike was like Mount Tai pressing down!

Hundreds more Yao Beasts, along with the ground, were directly smashed into a puddle of flesh by the giant Ruler, which was engulfed in terrifying fiery waves.

"Hmph."

Ling Ke'er also attacked simultaneously.

She pointed her fingers like a sword and quietly struck out.

The Sword Qi, seemingly gentle, contained an indestructible sharpness!

"Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!"

Wherever the Sword Qi passed, another hundred Yao Beasts were instantly cut in half!

"Wow! So much meat! Can't waste it!"

Nanny looked at the bloody scene below, not only without a hint of fear, but her eyes lit up, and her small mouth opened!

The Devouring Heaven Magic Skill roared into operation!

An indescribable, terrifying devouring force erupted from her mouth, transforming into a visible black vortex that instantly enveloped the entire battlefield!

The dead Yao Beasts, along with their scattered blood essence and Divine Souls, were all frantically devoured and refined by the black vortex!

In just a short dozen breaths.

The terrifying Beast Tide, which was enough to shake the entire Southern Region, was completely slaughtered by these four suddenly appearing "immortals"!

The entire process was smooth, decisive, and even... carried a touch of artistic flair.

Silence!

A deathly silence!

Below, the Prodigies of the Southern Region who had survived the ordeal, every single one of them, stood with their mouths agape, wide enough to fit a cow, staring blankly at the four figures in the sky.

On the cliff.

Chen Beixuan was even more thunderstruck, completely dumbfounded!

His Beast Tide, which he was so proud of and considered his ultimate trump card, was just... gone?!

Is this, damn it, a dream?!

【Ding! Warning! Warning! Detected that Host's ultimate trump card has failed, target's strength far exceeds estimates! System feels a huge threat, System final protocol initiated!】

【Consuming 99% of Host's lifespan to forcefully raise Host's cultivation... Forced command - eliminate threat.】

"No! No!"

Before Chen Beixuan could react, a terrifying force, utterly irresistible, exploded within his body!

His aura began to surge wildly in a manner that defied logic!

Great Grandmaster Peak!

Heavenly Human Realm!

Heavenly Human Realm Peak!

Breaking through the Void Realm!

"Ah—!"

Chen Beixuan let out a painful and frantic roar, his figure leaping down from the cliff, landing in the center of the chaotic battlefield!

A terrifying pressure, far surpassing the Heavenly Human Realm, even causing the entire world to change color, swept out with a roar!

"You ants..."

Chen Beixuan raised his head, his eyes already replaced by endless madness and savagery.

"All of you... go to hell!"

High in the sky.

Lin Fan and the other three frowned as they looked at the figure below, whose aura had skyrocketed and who was acting like a madman.

"Breaking through the Void Realm?"
