These Sea Soul Beasts seemed to have been forcibly dragged into the Blood Sea.

Having just regained their senses, they were scared out of their wits by this scarlet expanse of the Blood Sea.

The leader of the Evil Orca King, a beast with a cultivation base reaching several hundred thousand years, was currently twisting his massive body, comparable in size to an island, in a frenzy, thrashing wildly within this Blood Sea, before letting out a deafening roar.

"Who on earth possesses such immense power?

Where exactly is this place?"

The terrifying pressure of a fierce beast radiated from his body, causing the surrounding Blood Sea water to surge violently.

All of his clansmen were currently cowering behind him, long since stripped of the arrogant bluster that defined them as the bullies of the ocean.

Not far from them were the Mermaid Clan from the Ice Sea, currently huddled close together.

Their clan leader, a fierce beast with several hundred thousand years of cultivation, was blowing into a conch shell, spreading a powerful yet gentle spiritual force from her body

to soothe those clansmen who had been suddenly dragged into the Blood Sea

and were still gripped by panic.

Bai Xiuxiu, the last remaining Demon Soul Great White Shark of her clan, was also hiding among a school of fish, not daring to make the slightest move.

Her eyes were filled with fear for this unknown territory.

The ocean's top soul beast overlords—

a few Sea Dragon, normally solitary soul beasts that only encountered one another during mating seasons, were now gathered together because of this unknown Blood Sea, each emitting low dragon roars

as they explored this Blood Sea.

Beyond them, there were other relatively massive Sea Soul Beast clans from the deep sea regions, such as the Sea Horse clans, Sea Snake clans, Starfish clans, Deep Sea Giant Crab clans, Deep Sea Octopus clans, Deep Sea Electric Eel clans, and so on!

These soul beasts had all been sent into this Blood Sea through a passageway, and were currently gathered together in a bustling, chaotic mass.

There were also countless weak ocean soul beasts;

normally, Sea Soul Beasts preyed upon and devoured one another, but having suddenly descended into this Blood Sea, they had lost all desire to fight or feed, possessing only infinite terror and despair.

They struggled and explored wildly within this Blood Sea.

A mournful cry!

Lin Tian witnessed this scene, and it could be said he was quite shaken.

It was as if every Sea Soul Beast in the entire Douluo Continent had arrived; they were so dense and packed that it was truly impossible to count them—there had to be at least hundreds of thousands, and any more than that was beyond his ability to tally.

That son of a bitch Tang San had certainly taken good care of these Sea Soul Beasts.

It was a pity this was just a dream; if it were real, and all these Sea Soul Beasts descended into the Blood Sea, wouldn't Tang San's faith be severed after coming to this other world?

However, Lin Tian was now more interested in how the native monsters of the Blood Sea would deal with these suddenly appearing Sea Soul Beasts.

He could sense that these local monsters possessed no cultivation whatsoever, so surely they would be slaughtered by these Sea Soul Beasts, right?

Even the lowest-level Sea Soul Beast had ten years of cultivation, with the highest reaching hundreds of thousands of years; wouldn't this entire Blood Sea be dominated by them?

Sure enough, just as Lin Tian thought this, the dense, Cthulhu-like monster tribes inhabiting the area immediately swarmed from every corner of the Blood Sea toward the Sea Soul Beasts, launching a frenzied attack.

The Red Donut Monster was the fastest; even without any soul power cultivation, it could leave behind trails of red afterimages as it performed a suicide-style charge at the Sea Soul Beasts.

Under the impact of such terrifying numbers, the majority of the Sea Soul Beasts suffered.

The White Giant Sphere Monster was not only massive in size but also possessed astonishing defensive capabilities, to the point where many century-level soul beasts couldn't even break through its defenses.

The Furball Monster had the highest attack power among them; spinning at high speeds, it could inflict damage on century-level soul beasts despite having no cultivation.

As for those Blue Disc Monster creatures, while their attack and defense were mediocre, they possessed terrifying healing abilities.

Faced with the onslaught of these dense, native monsters, all the Sea Soul Beasts were forced into a passive defense, and thus an epic battle erupted.

The first wave of native monsters was quickly slaughtered and devoured by the powerful Sea Soul Beasts, but the Sea Soul Beasts also paid a certain price.

Yet, just as the Sea Soul Beast tribes thought they could catch their breath, another terrifying number of monsters charged forward.

They continued to clash with them.

Repeating this cycle, Lin Tian watched in constant amazement.

These native monsters possessed no cultivation, yet they had a terrifying numerical advantage.

Every time a wave was slaughtered, another would immediately surge forth, endless to kill, and growing greater in number.

The commotion of battle here

also drew Blood Sea Monster from other regions, all joining the fray.

This was their resistance against the invaders, swearing to defend their sovereignty to the death.

At first, the Sea Soul Beast were relieved to discover the enemies were merely a group of ordinary monsters without cultivation, thinking that for them, these were existences they could slaughter at will.

But the sheer quantity was so staggering

that it left the Sea Soul Beast with no chance to catch their breath!

Lin Tian watched from the air with a god's-eye view, watching these Sea Soul Beast crush and devour the native monsters, only for even more native monsters to rush out and continue the slaughter.

This continued for a full year, until these Sea Soul Beast finally secured a firm foothold in this region of the blood sea, their tribes spreading across every area of the blood sea

to multiply and thrive.

They had already summarized the experience of dealing with these Blood Sea Monster, and discovered that devouring these Blood Sea Monster

would enhance their own strength and various stats.

The Sea Soul Beast grew stronger and stronger, dealing with these Blood Sea Monster with increasing ease.

In one year, these Sea Soul Beast that had suddenly descended into the blood sea, went from a sharp initial decline in numbers

to flourishing later on, their total population actually expanding by dozens of times, thoroughly covering the entire blood sea region.

They treated the Blood Sea Monster as a constant, inexhaustible source of food, and had all accepted the fact that this blood sea was their new home, living quite comfortably, not even missing that previous ocean anymore!

However, what they did not know was that

once Lin Tian absorbed his first soul ring, his martial soul transformed, and all blood cells evolved into soul beasts, these Sea Soul Beast would be met with their nightmare.

Lin Tian was bored of watching by now;

after a whole year in this pitch-black blood sea, Watching the Sea Soul Beast crush the local monsters and frantically breed to expand its population had left him bored to tears.

Although it was a dream, it had been going on for far too long. When would he finally wake up?

As if conjured by his own thoughts, no sooner had Lin Tian finished complaining than a wave of intense dizziness washed over him.

He watched as the blood-red scene before his eyes began to distort and blur, eventually plunging him into total darkness.

The next moment, Lin Tian opened his eyes, squinting against the blinding sunlight streaming through the glass window.

At this moment, the Dean of Red Mountain Academy and several teachers were gathered around him, their eyes filled with concern.

"He's awake! This child has finally woken up! He's been unconscious for an entire day, but he's finally come to!"
