125: Before the Storm

Although Ming Tian has started to advance to the eleventh level, his combat power is vastly different from Yin Li's.

It seems combat power is also related to the required energy. Yin Li not only finished eating the "ice sand" from his large net but even ate the rest of Ming Tian's before beginning his advancement.

Next were Huangshan, Bull Demon King, Mao Qiu, Blood Town, Bu Bai, and Pan Lin.

zhen crystal snow fell on Blue Star again. Because of previous experience, the special boxes developed by Humans immediately became sought-after items.

But now Humans are no longer pushovers, so the Fierce Beasts in the major forbidden areas didn't need to fall out with Humans over broken boxes and began purchasing them with zhen crystal.

On Shen Ying's side, because she had contact with the Zhouguang Special Zone, they immediately sent over a hundred boxes.

But looking at the piles of zhen crystal resembling small mountains, Shen Ying awkwardly stated that it seemed a bit insufficient.

This, in turn, shocked Qian Hao.

"So, how many zhen crystal did the Ge Xing Islands collect?" Qian Hao muttered to himself.

But the Zhouguang Special Zone could only establish itself by leveraging the power of the Black Gold Yang Dragon King, so Qian Hao didn't hesitate and immediately sent hundreds more boxes.

You should know that each of these large boxes could hold a hundred thousand zhen crystal.

But Shen Ying still said it wasn't enough.

This made Qian Hao think for a moment that Shen Ying was playing a trick on him.

In the two months after the zhen crystal snow began, the entire Blue Star seemed to quiet down, with countless super Fierce Beasts who had always been at the forefront entering slumber to break through.

This quietness was more like the calm before a storm.

Two months later, the moment the first twelfth-level super Fierce Beast was born in the United States, the quiet time was completely broken.

The moment that twelfth-level super Fierce Beast broke through, he killed four eleventh-level Fierce Beasts in his own country in just five days.

It wasn't until another twelfth-level Fierce Beast was born that he finally stopped.

Clearly, a new round of competition among the top powers had begun.

And the most powerful, resource-rich 108-channel forbidden areas were, without a doubt, the primary targets for various forces to contend for.

China's side hadn't seen many major issues yet because of the "Heaven," the Black Gold Yang Dragon King, keeping things in check. The Fierce Beasts in the major forbidden areas were all breaking through in an orderly manner.

While having "Heaven" suppressing things certainly increased the pressure, what needed to be contended for still had to be contended for.

On this day, after Huanglong from the Yellow River basin was the first to break through to the twelfth level, he immediately emitted energy and forcefully entered Kunlun, taking control of the channel there.

Regarding this matter, Tong Xuan, that guy, was so spineless that he didn't even resist, directly yielding it.

China has a total of nine channels. After Huanglong forcefully broke through to the twelfth level and immediately occupied the channel in Kunlun, Shennongjia was next.

A snow monster there, similar to a mandrill but with entirely white fur, a Fierce Beast, also followed closely, breaking through to the twelfth level and occupying the channel deep within Shennongjia.

After that, all places with channels, including Changbai Mountain, Guling Mountain Range, Deng Deng, etc., were occupied by twelfth-level Fierce Beasts one by one.

But the channels were limited, while the number of Fierce Beasts advancing was unlimited.

Thus, a great battle was still unavoidable.

Gradually, because the combat power and destructive capability of the twelfth-level Fierce Beasts were too strong, in order to reach some kind of consensus, these twelfth-level Fierce Beasts spontaneously formed teams while also competing with each other, finally determining the strongest one.

That was Huanglong, the one who first broke through to the twelfth level.

Thus, this strongest Fierce Beast in China decided to represent the current strongest being in all of China and personally go to the Ge Xing Islands in the East Sea to test the strength of that "Heaven."

Unfortunately, Huanglong went in the morning, and before lunch was served, he was back in Kunlun.

This scene caused the top group of Fierce Beasts in China to flock to Kunlun, asking about the battle situation.

And Huanglong's original words were: "What battle situation? Don't talk nonsense, okay? I will always follow the Black Gold Yang Dragon King's command; I am his most loyal little brother."

The reason Huanglong said this was mainly because of the scene he saw when he first arrived at the periphery of the Ge Xing Islands.

A full seven twelfth-level Fierce Beasts had already died in the periphery of the Ge Xing Islands.

Furthermore, when Huanglong had just arrived not far from the Ge Xing Islands from a distance, he personally saw a twelfth-level Dragon Turtle fighting one against two, forcefully suppressing and killing two twelfth-level Fierce Beasts with an invincible momentum.

This was also why Huanglong ran away on the spot.

Test that "Heaven"? If he tried, he would definitely die.

Who was that Dragon Turtle? Everyone was from China; who wouldn't recognize whom?

Under that "Heaven," this Dragon Turtle was probably outside the top three or four in terms of combat power.

If someone with that level of combat power could fight two at once, Huanglong didn't dare to imagine how fierce that bird and that tiger were.

Actually, this matter is easy to understand. If the numerous Fierce Beasts in China were playing on the domestic server, then what Ba Qing and the others had to face was the challenge from the entire Blue Star; they were not on the same level at all.

It wasn't just the Ge Xing Islands; as long as there were channels scattered outside of countries, they were now facing challenges from various forces across the entire Blue Star.

As the number one power on Blue Star, the Ge Xing Islands relatively encountered fewer challenges; usually, only those clueless simpletons who didn't know the situation would come to challenge.

But as long as they knew something about the strength of the Ge Xing Islands, they generally wouldn't come to challenge.

But even so, Ba Qing, the "acting" Qing Yang, had recently become a bit melancholic.

He was melancholic not because of external challenges, but because of Shen Ying and Qingyang's grandfather, the old man named Qing Yao.

The matter had to start from when Shen Ying began learning Yin Yang Zhima and playing that broken chess game.

Back when Qing Yao took out the one hundred thirty-fifth hidden piece, Golden Pixiu slyly told Ba Qing that the piece in the old man's arms made it feel a bit eerie.

This was also why it ran away back then.

But Ba Qing didn't believe it at all and, with a curious mindset, deliberately shrunk himself to the size of a domestic cat to watch a game between Shen Ying and Qing Yao.

But something terrifying happened during that game.

It was originally just an ordinary game, but the moment Shen Ying took out the Four Ding pieces, which was near the end of the game, Ba Qing almost went crazy.

He was driven crazy by watching.

Ba Qing, who didn't believe in evil, watched two more times consecutively. The moment Qing Yao personally told him that he wasn't qualified to watch the game, Ba Qing became completely melancholic.

After learning all this, Little Luan, on the other hand, was happy and would fly from South Island to West Island every day like a demonic whisper, just to personally tell Ba Qing one sentence.

"I'm not qualified to play chess, but you aren't even fit to watch it. Who is stronger and who is weaker is clear at a glance."
