The sound pierced through everything. Even weakened by the formation barrier, it jolted Fire Spirit's mind and nearly made him lose control of the formation.
The myna bird's feathers stood on end. Chi You stopped gnawing and raised its head warily, while the Chaos Demonic Star Vine's tendrils drew back slightly.
Fang Chen's eyes snapped open. A cold gleam flashed through them like lightning as he looked toward the sound.
Deep in the gray-white waters ahead, dozens of enormous shadows loomed indistinctly!
Some resembled rotting whales, others twisted many-legged insects, and still others were masses of darkness that writhed and changed shape.
Their auras were cold, deathly still, and chaotic, brimming with malice and greed. Nothing like the Evilfire Phoenix's raging heat, they seemed more like predators spawned in the depths of the Sea of Laws!
Their strength ranged from Immortal King Peak to First-Turn and Second-Turn Immortal Emperor. But they were numerous, their forms bizarre, and their methods uncanny. In this environment, they would be exceedingly hard to handle.
"They're Law-Defiled Beasts!"
Fire Spirit cried out, his face deathly pale. "The immense vitality and pure energy released by the Nirvana Grand Array drew them here! These damned things are the hardest to deal with. Ordinary attacks barely affect them, and they corrupt laws and devour spiritual essence!"
Clearly, the commotion from setting up the formation and cultivating here had finally attracted more troublesome inhabitants from the depths of the Sea of Laws.
Dozens of hideous Law-Defiled Beasts closed in from every direction like sharks scenting blood, advancing slowly toward this Pure Land of alluring light and vitality.
Wherever they passed, even the gray-white seawater seemed to grow thicker and fouler.
Nirvana had reached its critical moment. Nothing could be allowed to interfere!
Fang Chen rose to his full height.
