At this moment, within Xiao Long's sea of consciousness.

  The sphere of w had already consumed one percent, and the endless insights of the w were absorbed by Xiao Long. Under the baptism of the w's power, his body, which had suffered backsh, was fully restored.

  Finally, under the watchful eyes of the demon beasts, Xiao Long opened his eyes.

  "A god!"

  The roars of the beasts, like the cries of mountains and seas, echoed to the heavens!

  Rumble!!

  An endless ocean of demon beasts surged from afar, surrounding the area. The will of the beasts spread rapidly, as if all the demon beasts in the mountain range had merged into a single entity, with Xiao Long at its core.

  Standing at the center, Xiao Long could clearly feel the immense will of the demon beasts!

  "Brother Xiao!" Xiao Bai was overwhelmed with excitement.

  At this moment, Xiao Long was bathed in the cleansing power of the w, suspended in mid-air, like a deity.

  Xiao Long gnced around. The endless demon beasts all raised their heads, looking at him with reverence and fervor.

  "Everyone!"

  Xiao Long's voice deepened with anger, "All beings are equal. As demon beasts, are we destined to be bullied by humans? To be sughtered? To become mere mounts and pythings?"

  "No!" The demon beasts roared in unison, their cries shaking the heavens.

  "The Beast Taming Sect has sughtered our kin, committing heinous crimes. What should we do?"

  "Kill them all!" the demon beasts howled.

  Xiao Long finally understood how the beast tide had erupted.

  In the demon beast world, the strong prey on the weak. All demon beasts fight for their survival, and their will is always scattered.

  But after humans sughter demon beasts on a rge scale, the beasts grow resentful, and their collective will forms a unified force, unching a massive attack on human territories.

  In past beast tides, the demon beasts' will was united but cked a core, leading to indiscriminate killing, wild and frenzied.

  Now, Xiao Long's will represented theirs.

  Xiao Long roared, "Attack!"

  As soon as Xiao Long's words fell!

  "Roar!!"

  "Howl!!"

  "Screech!"

  The endless demon beasts all looked to the sky, roaring in unison, sounding the horn of attack.

  Rumble!

  Billions of demon beasts surged towards the outskirts of the Demon Beast Mountain Range, causing the entire mountain range to tremble violently.

  The clouds in the sky turned a terrifying blood-red, stained by endless hatred!

  A once-in-a-millennium epic beast tide erupted!

  ...

  "Haha, today was a huge haul!"

  "I picked up over ten demon cores and destroyed a snake nest. I won't have to worry about living expenses for half a year."

  "I also profited. When I return to the sect, I might exchange it for an upper-grade Yellow-level technique, advancing my strength further."

  On the outskirts of the Demon Beast Mountain Range, many disciples from small sects gathered around a campfire, roasting a demon beast's carcass, chatting and ughing.

  "We have to thank the Beast Taming Sect. Every time they clear out beasts, we can make a fortune."

  "This time is probably the rgest scale. I heard they deployed over ten thousand people, more than twenty thousand tamed beasts, and thirteen Demon Kings leading the charge. It's quite intimidating."

  "My goodness, thirteen Demon Kings, they might just empty the Demon Beast Mountain Range!"

  Everyone ughed heartily, unaware of the approaching danger.

  Rustle...

  Suddenly, there was a sound from the bushes.

  "What was that noise?"

  People were puzzled. The outskirts should have been cleared of demon beasts. Even if there were stragglers, they would have been killed. It was impossible for anything to be alive.

  Could someone be hiding there?

  "Who's there, come out!" A disciple shouted, swinging his sword.

  Cng!

  The sound of metal cshing rang out as a massive triangur head emerged from the bushes. The sword struck the giant snake's head, sparking but not even scratching its scales.

  "A Demon General!!"

  Many were shocked and terrified.

  "Whoosh!"

  The giant snake lunged forward, swallowing three people whole.

  "Run!"

  Panic ensued, but before they could take a few steps, a giant eagle swooped down, pecking one to death, while a massive wolf pounced from the side, biting off another's head.

  In an instant, everyone was dead.

  ...

  "Ahhh!!"

  "Help!"

  At the same time, simir events occurred at different locations in the Demon Beast Mountain Range.

  These demon beasts, unlike past beast tides that charged in waves, y in ambush. Once they appeared, they used lightning-fast methods to kill everyone.

  This was the ambush instinct they learned while lying in wait for the Beast Taming Sect, now applied to the beast tide. Any human who saw these demon beasts was inevitably devoured.

  The number of humans in the Demon Beast Mountain Range dwindled.

  Until ter, when a Qi Condensing Realm expert escaped heavily injured, did people realize that a rge number of powerful demon beasts had reached the outskirts of the mountain range!

  "Roar!!"

  The collective roar of the demon beasts shook the entire mountain range.

  All the demon beasts no longer hid but charged down the mountains, attacking nearby human sects.

  "The beast tide has erupted!"

  "This is bad!"

  "Quickly inform the sect leader!"

  People were horrified, fleeing back to their sects.

  The demon beasts pursued relentlessly, their roars echoing through the heavens and earth.

  In just a few hours.

  Various small sects like the Ask Sword Sect, Herb Sect, and Earth Fiend Sect were all attacked by demon beasts. The slightly stronger sects could hold out for a while, but the weaker ones were overrun by powerful Demon Generals, leaving rivers of blood in their wake.

  Humans who had hunted demon beasts carried a faint killing aura, which the beasts could sense keenly. Those individuals were torn to shreds without exception.

  Conversely, small vilges along the way faced fewer attacks, as the demon beasts primarily targeted rge towns and sects.

  "We can't hold them off, head to Fire Cloud City!"

  "Fire Cloud City is one of the four major garrison cities, heavily guarded. It might withstand the attack!"

  "We can only rely on Fire Cloud City!"

  The residents of Qingyang Town were terrified, fleeing their homes to the nearest Fire Cloud City.

  ...

  At the gates of Fire Cloud City.

  A dense crowd pushed towards the city gates, all seeking refuge. The city lord, Han Wuxie, ordered all gates to be opened to accommodate the refugees.

  "Guards, hear my command: if any demon beasts approach, kill without mercy!" Han Wuxie shouted.

  "Yes!"

  On the city walls, over a thousand archers stood ready. Along the walls, countless Qi Condensing Realm experts were on high alert. Wang Ming'ao, with the newly recruited disciples of the Fire Cloud Sect, guarded the city gates.

  Han Wuxie gazed at the endless horizon, at the vast beast horde charging towards them, praying in his heart.

  "May we survive this camity!"

  Time slowly passed.

  The demon beast army finally arrived at Fire Cloud City.

  However, the closer the beasts came, the grimmer Han Wuxie's expression became.

  The scale of these demon beasts could no longer be described in thousands or tens of thousands, but as endless, numbering in the billions, stretching for miles beyond Fire Cloud City, with no end in sight.

  Among them, Han Wuxie spotted no fewer than twenty Demon Kings within the beast tide.

  "It's over!" Han Wuxie's heart sank to the bottom.

  Many soldiers also wore expressions of despair.

  "This is a disaster that could destroy the nation!" Han Wuxie shook his head and sighed, "Tianfeng Kingdom is finished!"

  Such a massive beast tide, a one-star empire cannot withstand it!

  "Roar!" The demon beasts roared in unison.

  The archers drew their bows.

  But then, something unexpected happened.

  After roaring, the demon beasts did not advance. Instead, they orderly dispersed, splitting into two groups, bypassing Fire Cloud City, and heading towards the rear of the city.
