All the way forward, breaking through.
Bang!
Xian’er casually flicked out a streak of ghostly green, scorching refined flame, blasting two charging vicious beasts into pieces.
Her eyes swept ahead, her expression growing a little heavier. She turned back and said to Xiao Yan and the others, "We’re already encountering beasts at the Dou Zong-level here. If we go any deeper, we’ll be facing Dou Zun-level ones. Everyone, be careful."
Gu Xun’er nodded and said, "Don’t fall behind. Whatever you do, don’t get entangled. If you get trapped inside an endless tide of beasts, it’ll be dangerous."
Truthfully, these words were mostly directed at the people from Flower Sect. Hearing her, everyone nodded slightly.
At this point, they were already pushing deeper into the beast tide. On their left, right, front, back, even above in the sky, countless beasts were lunging at them at every moment.
Wave after wave, like a raging tide with no pause and no end. This arrowhead-shaped formation, under such constant impact, was gradually beginning to break apart and loosen, becoming chaotic and far less orderly than at the start.
Formations like this—temporary, loosely assembled alliances—were fragile from the beginning. As long as things went smoothly, it was fine.
But the moment pressure mounted and each person’s selfishness surfaced, the formation would quickly collapse into everyone fighting on their own, nobody able to look after anyone else.
Wei Yang’s side was still better off. Their group at least had enough trust between them, and more importantly, they had a Ban Sheng expert acting as the stabilizing core, positioned at the very front of their smaller team—the tip of the arrow.
Right now, Wei Yang flicked his fingers repeatedly, sending out streak after streak of spinning black beams. They shot out like spiraling laser streams, instantly blowing apart the skulls of every beast blocking their path.
He looked utterly relaxed. This level of pressure wasn’t even enough to qualify as a warm-up for him. In a spare moment, his gaze swept toward the very front of the large formation. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶
Hun Yu and the others seemed to be attacking the front-line beasts with great effort, dutifully clearing a path for the group.
Rows and rows of vicious beasts were crashing down in large numbers beneath their attacks, and under their lead, the formation was pushing deeper and deeper in.
At times like this, many people were gradually starting to believe that Hun Yu was indeed putting in real effort for the team. Heaven and earth trembled, the void cracked. Under this level of slaughter, the group advanced rapidly.
Blood and beast corpses stained the entire path they traveled. The bright red blood not only failed to intimidate the beast tide, it instead drove them into an even greater frenzy. Like moths to a flame, they charged fearlessly at the formation.
After this rapid advance continued for roughly another two thousand zhang, their speed finally began to visibly slow. Now, Dou Zun-level beasts were beginning to appear, and some were even able to charge close to the formation and clash directly with the stronger experts.
Although those beasts were quickly blasted into pulp by the combined efforts of many experts, the situation was clearly becoming more difficult.
Hun Yu and the others also began showing signs of exhaustion. Bit by bit, they fell back toward the second line, letting other experts take the very front. With that, the formation’s momentum instantly dropped.
If someone were to look down from high above at this moment, they would clearly see more and more beasts gathering from every direction around the formation. Packed densely together like countless armies of marching ants swarming their prey, the sight alone made one’s scalp tingle.
As the situation grew more difficult, and as the combined attacks of the experts started failing to instantly kill certain beasts, brutal close-quarters combat finally began. Their breakthrough momentum came to an abrupt halt.
Uunder that pause, the beasts from the left, right, and rear surged forward. Then, a cruel battle erupted instantly. The entire formation finally collapsed completely, plunging into true chaos.
Roar~Bang!
All kinds of vicious beasts, eyes blood-red, threw themselves wildly into the broken formation. Although most were still killed by groups of experts working together, a number of particularly powerful beasts managed to break in and rampage within the formation.
"Ah~!"
Screams rang out one after another. Injuries and casualties began appearing within the formation.
"Don’t stop, keep moving!"
Facing such pressure, most people had turned pale.
They desperately tried to push the chaotic formation forward again, wanting to break out before things completely spiraled out of control. Seeing this chaos, some people on the left wing of the formation desperately tried to move toward Wei Yang’s side.
But blocked by the beasts, all they could do was watch helplessly as Wei Yang led his small team farther and farther away. Looking ahead again, they realized Hun Yu and the experts of the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan had all vanished as well.
In the chaos, these strong experts had slipped away without anyone noticing.
"Wait for us!"
"Mr. Wei, help us!"
Some people couldn’t help but shout desperately.
However, they received not a single reply. At a moment like this, trying to save others would just be stupidity.
Very soon, Wei Yang’s group disappeared into the shadows of the countless beasts.
"Damn it!"
"They sold us out!"
Facing the endless beasts lunging at them from all directions, even the Dou Zun experts’ felt despair.
In this abandoned and chaotic formation, those pushed to the very front were Dou Zun experts who had been forced forward again and again by the crowd behind them.
Gathered together now, they couldn’t retreat. All they could do was charge ahead blindly, hoping to catch up to the group that had abandoned them. But faced with the endless waves of beasts ahead, all they could do was unleash their full strength and attack.
Each time they managed to kill a few beasts, they didn’t even have time to draw a full breath before the continuous tide exhausted them again.
When they finally wanted to retreat, to pull out of the beast tide and abandon the opportunity of the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree, they suddenly realized they no longer had the chance. Surrounded by the beast tide, the path back was already gone.
With no way out and their Dou Qi nearly depleted, despair wrapped around them completely. Soon, they were overwhelmed, torn apart, and devoured by the crazed beasts.
Gradually, the thousand-strong group dwindled smaller and smaller until it was completely swallowed by the beast tide.
Roar~
With a dragon’s cry, nine massive black fire dragons, each a hundred zhang long, roared across the sky, coiling through the void and sweeping in all directions. Their enormous tails lashed out fiercely, smashing hundreds of charging beasts into bloody mush.
The nine dragons opened their jaws, unleashing dragon-breath fire pillars that forced open a wide, straight, pitch-black path ahead—clean and spacious.
"Stay close!"
Wei Yang walked with his hands behind his back, as leisurely as if taking a stroll, speaking calmly as he advanced.
Roar~Roar~
Another round of thunderous dragon cries erupted, the terrifying aura spreading. Nine ghostly green fire dragons, nine black wind dragons appeared at once. Moments later, nine more purple-brown fire dragons emerged.
In an instant, thirty-six massive fire dragons filled the sky, making the entire world feel like a blazing furnace, as though everything would be burned to ashes. They rampaged through the beast tide. Any beast brushed by them died instantly. Anything touched shattered.
Charging straight through, they crushed everything in an overwhelming, unstoppable advance.
"Keep up!"
Aside from the people of Flower Sect, several other experts who had followed Wei Yang from the very beginning were still sticking closely to the group.
Now, following right behind this powerful small team, they charged forward while keeping their heads low—and it was much easier for them than for anyone else.
Wei Yang’s group didn’t bother paying much attention to these people. They simply treated them as a secondary defense line behind them. Since they could keep up, then they could continue following.
As for those individuals who occasionally fell behind—life or death was their own fate. Nobody would waste time trying to save them.
