Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension

At this time, Zhao Sheng and the others were still unaware that a super beast tide, a rare occurrence that took place once every few centuries, was rapidly forming under the manipulation of a Transformed Great Demon.

The scale of the beast tide would roll and swell like an avalanche, soon sweeping across seventy thousand miles of the Desolate Domain.

The moment Zhao Keru finished speaking, dozens of demon wolves, each half a human's height, leaped out of the dense forest ten miles down the mountain.

No sooner had these demon wolves appeared than they spread out into a large circle under the leadership of the lead wolf, baring their teeth and howling madly as they drove the beasts at the foot of the mountain towards Lush Peach Mountain.

Such overt hostility from the pack of demon wolves took Zhao completely by surprise. Experience tales at empire

According to common sense, as long as you don't provoke a pack of demon wolves, they would not show such great animosity toward the Human Clan.

"I'll handle this!"

Immediately after Zhao Jijian spoke, he wrapped himself in sword light and charged down the mountain, with the Red Rainbow Sword heading straight for the lead wolf.

"I'll help too!" Unwilling to be shown up, Zhao Keru followed, holding the Spiritual Cauldron as he also flew down the mountain.

Merely a pack of First-rank demon wolves, they were no match for the two Foundation Establishment Cultivators and were slaughtered in no time at all.

However, before the group could feel any relief, a giant black-scaled python, as thick as a man's waist and more than thirty feet long, slithered out from the dense forest.

Its eyes, as large as fists, were bloodshot, and its tongue flickered ceaselessly as its huge head turned towards Zhao Keru, who was closest.

At the same time, two Steel Feathered Eagles plunged from the sky like lightning, aiming for Zhao Sheng standing on the wall, only to be repelled by the Defensive Light Shield of the Small Four Symbols Formation the next second.

The Steel Feathered Eagles slightly adjusted their wings and flew off, then suddenly nearly a hundred one-foot-long green Wind Blades rained down from the sky, reducing the two eagles to a mush of flesh and feathers in an instant.

These Wind Blades were one of the Small Four Symbols Formation's stress responses after being attacked; in addition, it had three other attack modes depending on the Heart Intent of the controller: Fireballs, Ice Arrows, and Earth Spikes.

Watching the blood and feathers fall from the sky, everyone from the Zhao Family felt a chill in their hearts.

Was a beast tide coming?

While the Zhao family was ceaselessly killing the attacking demon beasts and fierce birds, countless similar scenes were taking place nearly simultaneously in newly established domains of the Human Clan.

Some forces, like the Zhao family, who had taken spirit land early on and established a complete defensive system, were coping relatively well and didn't fall into disarray when suddenly attacked by demon beasts or other animals.

But those Cultivation Forces still in a stalemate without having secured their targets were seeing their situation go downhill fast, not only being attacked from both front and rear, but even being besieged by demon beasts.

As the situation became increasingly grim and adverse, their eventual fate seemed inauspicious.

On the same day, across various towering peaks, cliffs deep in the Southern Border Wilderness, poisonous insects and demon beasts-infested desolate mountains and marshes, and treacherous domains rarely tread by humans, a succession of earth-shaking roars and screeches began to echo.

In a forest stretching for a thousand miles, an Earth-shattering Demon Bear, three meters tall and as majestic as a mountain, slowly emerged from the forest. It was followed by hundreds of black-furred demon bears of varying grades from First to Second Order.

The Earth-shattering Demon Bear suddenly raised its head and roared, followed by the ground trembling incessantly as the layers of soil rolled up like surging waves, lifting its enormous body and swiftly moving toward a Human Clan settlement a hundred miles away.

Behind it, the group of demon bears gradually released a savage and bloody aura, pursuing with a threatening momentum.

In a certain marshland, as the water surface violently churned, a vast shadow quickly surfaced; the next moment, a gigantic crocodile head burst out of the water, followed by a Small Mountain-like scale-armored body and thick, pillar-like limbs with a crocodile tail more than thirty feet long, with a bone hammer the size of a water jar at its end.

This giant hammer-crocodile had lived for over a thousand years and had now reached the strength of a Sixth Rank; it was considered one of the most powerful demon beasts within several thousand miles.

Six months ago, it received a Transformation Technique from Lady Qian Huan with the condition that when the White Feather Flower bloomed, it would lead the tens of thousands of crocodiles out of Croc Swamp to kill every member of the Human Clan it encountered.

Today was the day it would fulfill that promise!

…

Amidst a cluster of volcanoes spanning nearly a thousand miles, there was a low volcano a hundred feet tall with countless holes peppered across it, where innumerable fiery-red centipedes were busily burrowing in and out.

Just then, a prolonged insect hum suddenly sounded from the top of the volcano.

```

In an instant, the entire mountain fell silent, followed by a low humming sound emanating from within the mountain, growing louder and louder.

Suddenly, streams of red insects poured out from the holes in the mountain, merging at the base into a boundless red sea of insects,

As thousands of two-winged Fire Centipedes took flight, the red sea divided into massive red torrents, led by higher-ranked Fire Centipedes, and they furiously rushed in all directions.

At that moment, above Fire Centipede Mountain, Huan Niang stood side by side with an eight-winged, ugly red-faced man.

The Fire Centipede Demon King looked greedily at Huan Niang's graceful figure and asked impatiently, "Qian Huan, I've done everything you've said, when do you plan to keep your promise?"

Huan Niang smiled coquettishly and said, "Fire Centipede Brother, you're too anxious. What I've promised, I'll certainly do. Just wait another month or two."

"That's what you said. If you don't keep your word in two months, don't blame me for flattening Flowers Valley," the Fire Centipede King said threateningly.

"I naturally won't disappoint you, Brother," Huan Niang said with a smile, although a hint of disdain flashed in her eyes.

...

Thwack, thwack, thwack!

Zhao Shuo's swordplay was lightning fast, as he unleashed bursts of sword light, covering a radius of about ten feet around him. Wherever the sword light reached, birds and strange insects fell like rain.

He didn't have time to assess the damage, as he leaped to his son's side to protect him from the pounce of a black-faced owl.

"Xuanang, can you hold on?" Zhao Shuo asked, cutting through a dozen fist-sized green beetles with a few swift sword strikes, while looking at his son with concern.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"Dad, I'm fine!"

Zhao Xuanang said, before throwing a fireball and incinerating a swarm of poisonous flies.

Since the demon wolf had started driving animals to assault Lush Peach Mountain, the Zhao family had been fighting non-stop, all the way until the sun set in the west.

Wave after wave of attacks came at them continuously.

Sometimes, before they had finished off the demon beasts on the ground, a massive dark cloud of insects would suddenly descend from the sky.

The cloud was filled with countless bizarre Gu and poison insects.

They were often attracted by the bloody scent emitting from Lush Peach Mountain and descended here recklessly.

The insects were extremely weak, with two being killed by a single slap, but their numbers were overwhelming.

It was a never-ending cycle of killing one group only for another to arrive, often leaving the illusion there were more and more, as fatigue set into weary wrists.

However, they had to continue slaughtering because most Southern Border insects were poisonous, some deadly so.

Sometimes, an inconspicuous poison insect could easily kill a Qi Refining Immortal Cultivator.

As the sun set and twilight descended,

Zhao Sheng killed a patterned leopard and looked up at the ever-thickening insect cloud in the sky.

He knew they couldn't go on like this.

Many insects are phototactic, and if the battle dragged on into the night, the situation would become even more disadvantageous for the family.

Zhao Sheng quickly flew back to the stone wall, took out the Main Array Plate from his Storage Bag, and poured Spiritual Power and Divine Sense into it, causing the Array Plate to suddenly shine brightly.

Simultaneously, the light shield in mid-air quickly solidified, and the demon insects that could have passed through were immediately repelled from the outside.

The next second, innumerable white flames appeared on the surface of the light shield and in an instant, these small white flames expanded into Blazing Fireballs the size of heads.

Boom, boom, boom!
