140: Chapter 140 The Beast Tide Sets Off
Mo Yufei's gaze was indifferent and cold, devoid of the slightest ripple. There were no lectures, no instructions, and certainly no pity.
Boom!! A thunderous roar exploded in their ears as a thick, purple-gold thunderbolt struck down without warning, accurately slamming into a squad of elite water-type exotic beasts on the left.
This group of exotic beasts consisted of top combatants selected from various tribes. Their physiques were robust, and their defenses were astonishing. Yet, in the face of the thunderous power enhanced by Mo Yufei's Nascent Soul Perfection, they were as fragile as ants.
Thunderlight erupted, and blood rained across the sky.
Several Peak water-type exotic beasts didn't even have time to scream before their bodies were instantly annihilated into dust by the thunder, vanishing completely from the world.
The entire scene fell into dead silence.
All the exotic beasts stiffened, extreme panic and chill rising in their hearts. Yet, they strictly adhered to the Soul Contract; not a single beast fled, rioted, or resisted.
Mo Yufei's indifferent gaze swept over the panicked but motionless herd, and thunderlight flashed in his palm once more.
Several more thunderbolts struck down chaotically. The landing points were completely random—not targeting weak beasts or injured bodies, but specifically obliterating the elites of various tribes with the most vigorous blood and strongest physiques in the formation.
A mountain-like giant rock exotic beast, whose Physical Body defense was the best in its tribe, had its body instantly pierced by lightning and shattered with a boom.
A high-speed flying thunder bird, which should have been adept at controlling lightning and escaping through the air, was imprisoned by a sky-filling thunder web, its wings blown to pieces on the spot, and it fell right there.
Mo Yufei had no purpose, no target; it was pure, random slaughter.
In just a few seconds, more than a dozen top elites from various tribes fell one after another under the random thunderous divine punishment.
At the edge of the abyss, the wind howled and thunder smoke filled the air. Scattered remnants lay on the ground, and the originally orderly and powerful beast formation had been forcibly carved into a dead, empty space.
All the remaining exotic beasts lowered their heads, trembling all over, yet not one dared to retreat, nor did one dare to show anger.
They finally understood completely.
This master of their Secret Realm was cold by nature, killed as he pleased, and possessed not a shred of mercy.
The smoke from the shattered beast bodies had not yet dissipated, and the surviving exotic beasts, trembling in their stiffness, all believed this was a cruel pre-battle selection—an iron-blooded test by their master to pick death squads.
But Mo Yufei, hanging high in the sky, had no trace of scrutiny or severity in his eyes; instead, a casual smile lingered there.
After reaching Perfection in his re-cultivation, his Physical Body, thunder power, and authority had all skyrocketed. He didn't know what his current strength was, so it was just right to stretch out using the elites of the ten thousand tribes.
The ten thousand beasts below were anxious and uneasy, unaware that their greatest trump card had already been completely rewritten as he achieved Nascent Soul and unlocked the Spirit Transformation Chapter.
Mo Yufei stretched his wings, which were covered in holy thunder, and looked down at the herd, speaking indifferently. His voice pierced through the rumbling residual thunder and echoed in the Divine Soul of every exotic beast.
"Do not be afraid."
"And do not feel lucky."
"You cannot die."
The moment his words fell, the faint light of the Soul Contract between his brows suddenly lit up.
The ultimate authority of the Spirit Transformation Chapter spread out with a roar; the Soul Contract and spiritual Origin were symbiotically linked.
"Contract of Spirit Transformation; same Origin, undying, sharing the Divine Soul."
"As long as my Soul remains, the ten thousand tribes shall not die."
The next second, a shocking scene suddenly occurred.
The dozen top elites that had just been randomly shattered by thunder and annihilated into dust were suddenly pulled by the Void Realm, the scattered light and debris reversing and gathering together.
Specks of spiritual light traced back from Heaven and Earth. The shattered Bloodline, collapsed Physical Body, and dissipated Divine Soul, under the enhancement of Mo Yufei's Origin talent, reshaped and solidified at a speed visible to the naked eye.
It took only an instant.
The elites of various tribes who had just fallen were standing perfectly intact in the beast formation again, their auras full, their combat power as before, not even a trace of injury or fatigue remaining.
Resurrected from death, without a trace or blemish.
All the exotic beasts in the scene were instantly stunned, their previously trembling bodies completely frozen, their eyes filled with extreme shock and awe.
For the first time, they truly understood the terror of their newly ascended Nascent Soul Spirit Transformation realm master.
Mo Yufei's tone was lazy yet arrogant, casually revealing his absolutely unsolvable trump card.
"Spirit Transformation returns to one; Soul Contract, symbiotic existence."
"I possess the Origin resurrection talent; with you bound to the Soul Contract, there is no true death."
The thunderlight high in the sky slowly converged. Amidst the drifting smoke and dust, the exotic beasts previously shattered by thunder had their Physical Bodies reshaped under the pull of the Soul Contract's power, landing steadily back into formation one by one, their blood and Qi completely unharmed.
Mo Yufei hovered in mid-air, his pearly white wings gently folded. His expression was calm and solemn, devoid of any playfulness or mockery. His gaze swept heavily over the elites of the ten thousand tribes neatly arrayed at the edge of the abyss.
His casual act of summoning thunder just now was never meant for amusement, but to strike and establish authority.
The various tribes possessed deep tribal foundations, and their subordinates were as numerous as clouds. If their arrogance became too great, it would inevitably breed dissent and hidden, improper thoughts. Only by tangibly displaying formidable strength could he suppress their pride with power.
Waiting for the herd to shift from being terrified to being completely shocked, he spoke slowly, his voice landing with the rumbling residual thunder, spreading throughout the entire beast formation.
"My actions just now were only to dampen your pride.
You possess your own territories, and over time, it is inevitable that you would become arrogant and develop thoughts you shouldn't have.
I have used my own strength to make you recognize the order of master and subordinate, to understand who is the master that holds the contract and protects the Secret Realm."
He paused, the halo of the Spirit Transformation Contract between his brows flowing slowly, and endless Origin spiritual power lingered throughout the scene.
"You do not need to fear death. As long as my Divine Soul remains, no matter how many times you die in battle, I can use my Origin talent to resurrect you all.
Your lives being secure is the most basic guarantee I give you."
Mo Yufei changed the subject, his tone softening as he threw out tangible benefits to win over the hearts of the masses: "Behave yourselves, follow the army, and do your jobs well; rewards will never be lacking.
The Heaven And Earth Treasure and Spiritual Vein mineral sources within the Secret Realm will be preferentially allocated to each tribe to improve the living environment of your entire clans and help your tribes thrive and grow.
Whenever you perform meritorious service, I will personally take action to improve your living environment and raise the Spiritual Qi Rank of your settlements."
Upon hearing this, the leaders and elite exotic beasts of the various tribes below saw their remaining anxiety dissipate entirely, replaced by eagerness and awe in their eyes.
With beating and intimidation first, promises of rich rewards second, and the guarantee of eternal life last, under this combination of grace and power, there was no longer any thought of dissent.
Mo Yufei looked down at the dark mass of the beast tide and concluded indifferently: "Fear power and cherish virtue. Follow me well to cross realms and crusade against our enemies. If you harbor thoughts of rebellion, the suffering of annihilation you just experienced will be a warning of what is to come."
The elites of the ten thousand tribes at the edge of the abyss were completely won over. The formation was solemn, their Battle Intent was surging to the heavens, and there was no longer any trace of arrogance or dissent.
The entire beast tide lay dormant quietly, waiting only for Mo Yufei to issue the order to set out.
Mo Yufei stood high in the sky, his wings slightly folded. A vast power of the Soul instantly spread out, passing through the deep Soul Contract, and echoed directly in the Divine Soul of every exotic beast; no one was left out.
"All troops, listen to my order: immediately prepare and set out, follow me to cross realms and go on a campaign."
"I will inform you of the rules of the new world in advance; keep them in mind, and do not make any mistakes."
"The world we are about to arrive at has no Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, no flow of spiritual power, and the Heavenly Dao rules of the entire world are extremely strict and overbearing."
"After stepping into that world, all your racial talents, elemental Divine Ability, Bloodline secret techniques, and spiritual spells will be forcibly suppressed and Sealed by the world's rules."
"Throughout the entire campaign, the only thing you will be able to use is pure Physical Body strength."
The ten thousand exotic beasts felt a chill in their hearts upon hearing this and focused intently on memorizing the rules, not daring to be the slightest bit slack.
Without the enhancement of Divine Ability and secret techniques, it was equivalent to cutting off most of their combat power; this was undoubtedly an extremely harsh battlefield test.
Mo Yufei's Soul voice continued to echo, giving everyone the final reassurance.
"But you do not need to fear death in battle."
"No matter how many times you die in battle in the new world, no matter how your bodies are damaged or annihilated, your Divine Soul will be instantly guided back to the Secret Realm, and under the enhancement of the Origin Soul Contract, you will be completely resurrected, without loss or injury, and your state will be reset."
"Just fight to the death without hesitation; you need not cherish your lives, nor worry about survival."
The rules were explained, the army's hearts were settled, and they were ready to go.
The air in mid-air suddenly surged endlessly, and a powerful and majestic wind-type ability swept through the surroundings.
Benboba gently flapped its wings, stirring up the sky-filling gale.
Massive and thick wind-type ability lingered around its body, forming a stable wind field to lift it up as it flew to Mo Yufei's side.
"Boss, is everyone in our Secret Realm, all the elites, going up together this time?"
