102: Chapter 102 Beast Uprising

Mo Yufei leaned back against the adaptive floating sofa, his body and mind completely relaxed.

In this relaxed state, his brow moved imperceptibly, and his global soul perception, far surpassing that of an ordinary Ability User, quietly spread out to cover the entire Level 4 Taoyuan Secret Realm.

The ability bestowed by the Fragment World core was not a passive perception; unless the fluctuations were exceptionally large, he could only detect anomalies within the secret realm if he actively perceived them.

There were no violent spiritual energy tremors, no abnormalities in the laws of heaven and earth, and everything was peaceful as usual, yet he clearly captured the subtle and continuous movement trajectories of living creatures.

Countless life forces that had originally been dispersed and dormant in the distant mountains, rift valleys, and deep, dark forests of the secret realm were slowly gathering in groups and migrating toward the same direction.

Their movement was unhurried and calm, without the frenzy of a charge, driven only by an extremely dense spiritual energy.

Mo Yufei's thoughts stirred, and he subconsciously deduced the reason.

After the secret realm upgraded, the underground crystal mineral spiritual veins fully recovered, and the spiritual energy concentration in the Central Plain steadily rose day by day, far exceeding any other corner of the secret realm.

For those wild beasts born in the Fragment World that relied on spiritual energy for survival, this place was the only holy land in the entire world, and driven by instinct, they would inevitably converge here.

In his perception, the dense breath of the beast tide drew closer and closer, until it reached the abyss barrier on the outskirts of the Central Plain, where they all simultaneously halted, wandering, unable to advance even an inch further.

Sensing this, Mo Yufei set his mind at ease.

The abyss chasm surrounding the entire Central Plain was a natural, absolute defensive barrier; it was impossible for the beasts to cross this natural danger.

As long as they couldn't cross the abyss, no matter how many gathered, they would only wander outside and pose no threat at all.

Holding this thought, his previously slightly tensed mind completely relaxed, and he didn't take this gathering of beasts to heart.

The camera pulled back, overlooking the entire land of the Taoyuan Secret Realm; the vast and boundless mountains and rivers of the secret realm stretched out, green waters and blue mountains misty with spiritual energy, the land vibrant with life.

Yet in the vast wilderness outside the Central Plain, undercurrents were already surging.

Dense and varied beasts of the Fragment World, like a silently surging black tide, poured out from every corner of the secret realm.

There were underground beasts covered in thick rock armor, jungle monsters with bodies covered in mutated vines, and desert species with bloated bodies exhaling turbid air; the varieties were complex, and the numbers were so vast they made one's scalp tingle.

They all lowered their heads, their nostrils sniffing the pure spiritual breath flowing between heaven and earth, following the increasingly clear spiritual energy trail, stepping forward steadily, step by step.

The entire beast tide was silent yet massive; there were no roars or howls, only the dull rumbling of countless paws trampling the earth, coming from the distance in layers.

But when the vanguard of the beast tide reached the outskirts of the spiritual energy gathering center, all the beasts simultaneously stopped; the pitch-black, bottomless abyss surrounded the Central Plain, blocking all paths.

Countless beasts paced anxiously on the shore, crouching and hissing; even though they coveted the monstrous spiritual energy on the other side, not a single land beast dared to cross.

The thousands of beast herds were all firmly blocked outside the abyss.

The situation seemed safe and secure.

But in this world, there were never only land creatures.

Suddenly, the clouds high above the secret realm surged, and the originally clear and empty sky was abruptly covered by a large swath of shadows that blotted out the sun.

A cry that shook the surroundings exploded thunderously!

An extremely massive cyan Giant Roc flapped its wings and swept across the sky; its wingspan was dozens of zhang wide, its feathers like layers of cyan steel, blocking the light, its scarlet eyes fierce and malevolent, carrying the innate barbaric ferocity of Fragment World beasts, looking down at the earth from high in the sky.

Behind it, countless flying beasts that had been hiding in the high-altitude clouds of the secret realm, never restricted in the slightest by the abyss barrier, all revealed themselves!

Sky-Splitting Kites, Shadow Owls, Wind-Feathered Demon Birds, Black Cloud Winged Beasts... flocks of flying beasts covered the sky and earth, their wings slicing through the sky, bringing with them bursts of sharp, fierce wind.

The abyss could lock the land, but it could not lock the sky.

The natural danger that the thousands of beast herds on the ground could not cross was non-existent for the birds in the high sky.

The massive number of flying beasts, led by the Giant Roc, followed the rich river of spiritual energy, straight across the abyss chasm, driving straight in, and breaking into the undefended sky above the Central Plain without any obstruction!

Indoors, Mo Yufei instantly captured the violent breath of flying beasts filling the sky above his head, and a warning signal instantly pierced through his entire body!

The relaxation on his face suddenly faded, his expression stunned, and he quickly stood up from the sofa, raising his hand to messily rub his lazily disheveled hair, his lips slightly parted, carrying a sense of belated realization and annoyance.

"I forgot."

He looked at the suddenly dim light outside the window and the sky full of shadows pressing down rapidly, and spoke to himself with a low, bitter smile.

"I thought they couldn't get over... but I forgot, some guys can fly."

Just at that moment, two rapid, steady sets of footsteps crossed the courtyard corridor and quickly entered the spacious, high-tech living room.

The Commander and the Chief of Staff had red lights flashing on their cheek sensors; their bodies were tensed in a combat-ready posture, their expressions solemn, and they walked quickly to Mo Yufei, immediately bowing and reporting in deep voices.

"Report! In the airspace on the east side of the camp, a large number of high-level flying beasts have broken through the outer defense line and have completely invaded the Central Plain!"

The shadow of the flying beasts filling the sky completely covered the Central Plain, and the leading cyan Giant Roc drew ever closer, its fierce might chilling to the bone.

Every time its wings flapped, biting high-altitude gale winds swept down; because the trees near the camp had been completely cleared, it saw Mo Yufei and his team's newly built camp at a glance.

Its scarlet vertical pupils locked tightly onto the residence camp with the densest spiritual energy below, its eyes surging with the fierce light of plunder and violence.

Ancient, barbaric bird cries exploded one after another, and the countless flying beasts following behind the Giant Roc were also aggressive.

Various winged beasts with white, sharp claws and pointed beaks swept across the sky in swarms, their shrill shrieks rising one after another; dense shadows overlapped, pressing in at full speed from the eastern airspace, already within a stone's throw of the camp.

Inside the living room, the last trace of relaxation on Mo Yufei's face completely dissipated, leaving only calmness and coldness in his eyes.

He looked at the torrent of flying beasts covering the sky outside the window, listened to the urgent report from the Commander and the Chief of Staff, and said in a calm tone that nevertheless carried an indisputable, absolute decisiveness: "No need to observe."

"Once any beast enters the 100-mile range of the camp, no need to ask for instructions; open fire directly and intercept with full force."

The order was concise and crisp, without a shred of hesitation.

The Commander and the Chief of Staff simultaneously stood at attention, their expressions stern: "Understood!"

The moment the words fell, Mo Yufei's mind sank into his sea of consciousness, directly connecting to the highest authority of the Level 4 Taoyuan Secret Realm.

At this moment, the secret realm had already merged with the Fragment World core, and the climate, wind fields, and terrain were all under his control with a single thought.

Previously, it had always maintained a pleasant, habitable state with fair weather, and he had never actively mobilized the power of heaven and earth, but at this moment, he abruptly rewrote the meteorological rules of the entire Central Plain!

Hum—

The invisible rules of the secret realm shook the entire world.

Above the Central Plain, which had originally been mild, windless, and bright, the air currents instantly became frantically agitated and rapidly reversed.

There was no dragging buildup of gathering dark clouds, no thunderous warning; a monstrous wind suddenly rose across the entire airspace!

With Mo Yufei's residence camp as the absolute core, a circle of visible cyan wind domain instantly formed and expanded rapidly.

A majestic, violent hurricane was born out of thin air, and countless Wind Blades intertwined into a dense tornado barrier, spreading outward in layers, frantically.

The hurricane swept across the world, and the gale winds tore through the sky!

The originally gentle breeze of spiritual energy instantly transformed into a destructive power of heaven and earth, using the Central Plain as the origin point, sweeping and pushing violently in all directions in a circular ring.
