Fierce Beast Tide

Luo Qing had once sensed the pressure of a Golden Immortal from the Metal God elder of the Crimson Flame Tribe.

But the pressure brought by a Golden Immortal was less than one-tenth of the aura that had suddenly descended.

Under this immense pressure, Luo Qing could not even summon the slightest thought of resistance.

It was as if the other party could kill him with a single thought.

However, just as Luo Qing had resigned himself to death, a heaven-shaking roar from a fierce beast shattered his despair.

"Roar!"

As the heaven-shaking beast roar rang out, an endless amount of Fierce Fiend Qi came rushing toward him.

"Roar..."

"Awooo..."

The beast roars that had initially shaken the firmament sounded as if an emperor had descended upon the world.

Countless fierce beasts across thousands of kilometers began roaring in response.

Then came the sight of hundreds of millions of fine steeds galloping together, and the earth across thousands of kilometers began to tremble.

"A Grand Unity Golden Immortal-level Innate Beast King!"

"It's a Fierce Beast Tide!"

When Luo Qing realized that this unfamiliar Grand Unity Golden Immortal aura was not deliberately targeting him, he truly breathed a sigh of relief.

But right afterward, Luo Qing's expression changed drastically.

How powerful would a Fierce Beast Tide driven by a Grand Unity Golden Immortal Beast King be?

In the more than one thousand years since his birth in the Crimson Flame Tribe, he had never once encountered a beast tide launched by a Golden Immortal Beast King.

Let alone a Taiyi Beast King—the Five Elements Tribe probably had not experienced a battle involving a Taiyi Beast King for ten thousand years.

"Run... Run, quickly!"

The trembling of the earth beneath his feet grew increasingly violent. This was a sign that the beast tide was drawing closer.

Luo Qing had no time to rest or think. He once again used the Fire Escape Technique and flew in the opposite direction from the beast tide.

As it happened, the beast tide was heading straight for Hundred Gods Mountain, tens of thousands of kilometers away.

As for a mere Houtian Heavenly God cultivator like Luo Qing, the Grand Unity Golden Immortal Beast King seemed not to care at all.

The Taiyi Beast King merely continued to unleash his aura, his pressure gathering the myriad beasts into a torrent that surged toward Hundred Gods Mountain.

Luo Qing was bitterly frustrated!

He had only just escaped from the direction of Hundred Gods Mountain, and now he was throwing himself back into danger.

Naturally, Luo Qing was unwilling to be swept back to Hundred Gods Mountain by the beast tide.

However, every time Luo Qing thought of escaping from the side of the beast tide,

he would inexplicably sense signs that disaster was about to befall him.

With no other choice, Luo Qing could only follow the direction of the beast tide and head straight toward Hundred Gods Mountain.

As he flew, even though Luo Qing's escape technique was astonishing, the beast tide behind him was not slow either. He could not shake it off at all.

The Eye of the Great Dao opened, and Luo Qing looked toward the surrounding world.

One large and three small—four dazzling golden lights flickered behind the beast tide, radiating endless pressure and driving countless fierce beasts into a mad frenzy.

Luo Qing's heart tightened. He understood that this was one Grand Unity Golden Immortal Beast King and three Golden Immortal Beast Kings.

He turned his gaze toward both sides, and sure enough, there was also a Golden Immortal Beast King on each side, holding the line and adjusting the direction of the beast tide.

Luo Qing immediately rejoiced that he had not chosen to escape from the side. Otherwise, he would definitely have run straight into a Golden Immortal Beast King, and that would certainly have meant certain death.

"Damn it. If I charge at the front, I'll definitely be among the first wave of cannon fodder destroyed by Hundred Gods Mountain."

As the distance to Hundred Gods Mountain grew shorter, Luo Qing became increasingly anxious.

He deliberately slowed his speed, gradually moving from the front to the very edge of the beast tide.

He neither exposed himself at the very front of the beast tide nor showed any signs of fleeing and leaving it.

Keeping himself merely within the fringe of the Golden Immortal Beast King's divine sense, Luo Qing began cautiously thinking of a way to conceal his movements.

He did not seek to evade the Golden Immortal Beast King's detection. He only hoped that fierce beasts at the True God and Mystic God levels would be unable to discover him.

Meanwhile, as Luo Qing was carried by the beast tide toward Hundred Gods Mountain,

a thousand-zhang phantom of a great bell suddenly appeared above Hundred Gods Mountain. Its earth-shaking chimes rang out nine times in succession.

"Dong dong..."

"Fierce Beast Tide incoming! All deities, prepare for battle!"

"The beast tide is here! All Innate Gods, immediately emerge from seclusion. Those who perform excellently will be personally accepted as Direct Disciples by the Lord of Hundred Gods Mountain."

"Gather all divine spirits and prepare for battle!"

Several Metal God elders flew out from the depths of Hundred Gods Mountain and immediately began conveying the Lord's orders.

In the very heart of Hundred Gods Mountain, a golden-armored, dragon-horned man gazed toward the direction of the Taiyi Beast King, golden light shining in his eyes.

This man was the only Innate God at the Grand Unity Golden Immortal level in Hundred Gods Mountain—the Lord of Hundred Gods Mountain.

"In recent tens of thousands of years, the beast tides have grown increasingly frequent. It seems the day of the decisive battle between my Divine Race and the Fierce Beast Clan is not far off."

After murmuring this, the Lord turned his gaze toward the direction of the Five Elements Tribe.

"It seems the plan must be carried out ahead of schedule!"

In the empty central region, only the Lord's hollow echoes continued to reverberate.

As Hundred Gods Mountain prepared for the beast tide, tens of thousands of divine cultivators of all sizes gathered within the mountain.

Meanwhile, as Luo Qing advanced with the beast tide, he finally caught sight of the phantom of Hundred Gods Mountain, towering ten thousand zhang high in the distant horizon.

By then, Luo Qing had already entered within ten thousand kilometers of Hundred Gods Mountain. Looking into the distance, he could still vaguely see the valley that had been razed to the ground.

But when he shifted his gaze, Luo Qing immediately became so furious that he wanted to curse.

Originally, he had planned to avoid the beast tide's frontal assault on Hundred Gods Mountain, pass along the mountain's edge from the side, and escape alive.

But after looking around, Luo Qing realized that he had been overthinking it.

Because in all four directions around Hundred Gods Mountain, he saw vast amounts of Fierce Fiend Qi.

The sky-obscuring Fierce Fiend Qi surrounded Hundred Gods Mountain from all four directions, leaving not the slightest gap.

This had completely ruined Luo Qing's previous escape plan.

As Luo Qing carefully concealed himself among a group of Earth God fierce beasts,

the vanguard of the beast tide—over ten thousand fierce beasts of various cultivation levels, each a hundred or several hundred zhang tall—had already entered the five-thousand-kilometer alert range of Hundred Gods Mountain.

"Fierce beasts, die!"

At that moment, a cold snort exploded above Hundred Gods Mountain.

Before the three words had even faded, a heaven-supporting giant palm stretching across a hundred kilometers had already crossed five thousand kilometers and slammed viciously into the beast tide.

With a boom, the earth shook, and ravines a hundred meters wide suddenly appeared across the surface.

The more than ten thousand vanguard fierce beasts in the beast tide, regardless of cultivation level—whether Earth Gods or Mystic Gods—were all crushed into a bloody pulp.

"Hiss!"

Luo Qing, hiding in a corner at the edge of the beast tide, sucked in a cold breath.

A Grand Unity Golden Immortal was indeed terrifying.

From five thousand kilometers away, killing deities was as easy as slaughtering chickens.

A single palm had annihilated more than ten thousand divine-realm fierce beasts.

Luo Qing was immensely relieved. Fortunately, he had guessed early on that the beasts at the front of the tide were all cannon fodder and had hidden himself in a corner.

"Hunxing Little God, you seek death!"

The Lord of Hundred Gods Mountain's strike instantly enraged the Taiyi fierce beast king at the rear of the beast tide.

Among fierce beasts, Innate Kings held a status equal to that of Innate Gods, while one rank above them were Innate Beast Emperors, equal to Innate Sacred Beings.

This Grand Unity Golden Immortal Beast King driving the beast tide was also an Innate Beast King. His origins were in no way inferior to those of the Lord of Hundred Gods Mountain.

The Taiyi Beast King let out an angry roar and immediately transformed into a ten-thousand-zhang phantom of a Demon Tiger fierce beast with a triangular head, biting viciously toward Hundred Gods Mountain.

"Demon Tiger, you're wasting your effort. With me guarding this place, you won't be able to harm Hundred Gods Mountain in the slightest."

Facing the Taiyi Beast King's ferocious strike, the Lord of Hundred Gods Mountain, Hunxing, a Grand Unity Metal God, likewise manifested a ten-thousand-zhang phantom of his Divine Body to clash with the beast king's phantom.

At the same time, Lord Hunxing's true body flew out of Hundred Gods Mountain.

"My warriors, kill! Slaughter the Divine Race!"

The Demon Tiger Beast King roared, revealed his ten-thousand-zhang giant Divine Body, and left those words behind.

Then the Demon Tiger Beast King charged toward Lord Hunxing.

Both were Grand Unity Golden Immortals. Once they fought, they would likely possess the power to overturn the Earth Continent.

To avoid affecting their respective subordinates, the two Grand Unity Metal Gods flew together into the void.

Their battlefield was in the void Beyond the Nine Heavens.

"Kill! Annihilate the Divine Race!"

"Roar!"

"Defend Hundred Gods Mountain! Kill all the fierce beasts!"

"Those who fight bravely in this battle may worship the Lord of Hundred Gods Mountain as their master!"

Once the two sides' Grand Unity Golden Immortals departed, the Golden Immortal-level Beast Kings and deities began charging at one another.

In an instant, on the land stretching ten thousand kilometers, more than a dozen battlefields where Metal Gods fought fiercely took shape.
