Myriad Beasts Overturn the Heavens

Joking.

Behind it stood the daughter of that lord!

If Xiao Wu were to lose even a single hair, wouldn't its journey through the spatial turbulence have been in vain?

How could it answer to that lord? How could it answer to those fellows desperately rushing toward this place?

"Skree--!"

Golden Light Eagle looked toward the spatial rift and let out another sharp cry.

I can't hold on much longer, hurry up!

Xiao Wu stared blankly at the Golden Light Eagle, which was bathed in blood yet refused to retreat even half a step, her mind completely reeling.

She didn't understand; she truly didn't understand.

The Golden Light Eagle was clearly here to save her, so why did Tang San attack it?

Why did Tang San insist that it was here to kill her, when it had used its own body to tank the attacks of four Title Douluo?

Didn't he say he didn't care that she was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast?

Didn't he say that whether she was human or a soul beast, he would treat her the same?

Then why did he strike down a soul beast protecting her with its life without even asking a single question?

Countless questions exploded in Xiao Wu's mind, but she had no time to think.

She gritted her teeth and rushed forward, wanting to help the Golden Light Eagle defend, even though she was no match for those four Title Douluo.

But the Golden Light Eagle reacted faster than she did.

With a flap of its wing, it swatted Xiao Wu back, choosing to face them alone!

The next round of attacks from the four Title Douluo had already coalesced.

Four even more terrifying beams of soul power descended from the sky, intent on obliterating this suicidal Golden Light Eagle along with the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast it was protecting.

The Golden Light Eagle was drenched in blood, more than half of its dark golden feathers gone, revealing the mangled flesh beneath.

Its absolute defense barrier was shattered to its final thin membrane, trembling under the pressure of the four Title Douluo.

Yet, it still held its head high.

It let out a long, resonant cry toward the direction of the spatial rift.

What was it afraid of?

Did they really think it was the only soul beast that had come?

Aside from Er Ming, there was a whole crowd of fellows who shared the same intention.

The only reason it, the Golden Light Eagle, had arrived first was simply because it flew the fastest.

The attacks of the four Title Douluo crashed down.

And then—

The world fell silent for a heartbeat.

A massive swarm of soul beasts poured out from the spatial rift.

One.

Ten.

A hundred.

A thousand.

Ten thousand!

The spatial rift was like a torn curtain of the sky, with countless soul beasts pouring out from it.

The weakest had only a hundred years of cultivation, while the strongest possessed tens of thousands.

Flying soul beasts folded their wings and dove, while those that couldn't fly simply leaped from the edge of the rift, their dense figures blotting out the entire sky.

Iron-Armored Magic Rhino, Crimson Flame Mad Lion, Shadow Mantis, Purple Lightning Falcon, Frost Giant Python...

One after another, soul beasts—some known by name, others unknown—surged from the rift like a bursting dam.

The flying soul beasts spread their wings in the air, covering the sun and sky; within a few breaths, the sky above the Martial Soul Hall was completely blanketed by wings and scales.

Some soul beast overlords hadn't just come themselves; they had brought their entire clans and subordinates!

A mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, as if the heavens were collapsing.

The guardian knights of Martial Soul Hall looked up at the sky, their swords trembling in their hands.

The soul masters in the viewing gallery were dumbstruck; some slid right off their chairs, their lips quivering, unable to utter a single word.

For the first time, the usually effeminate face of Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan stiffened.

The attacks of the four Title Douluo faltered involuntarily in the face of that overwhelming torrent of soul beasts.

And that blood-soaked Golden Light Eagle, standing at the very forefront of the beast tide, slowly spread its tattered wings and let out a long, proud cry toward the heavens.

Come on, keep hitting me!

Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan tilted his head back, his habitually effeminate face stripped of all its usual levity.

His lips trembled, and the voice that emerged from his throat was hoarse and dry: "This Golden Light Eagle... what the hell kind of background does it have?"

No one answered him.

Because everyone present was asking themselves the same question.

A ten-thousand-year Golden Light Eagle, actually capable of organizing a beast tide?

These appearing Soul Beasts were organized into formations, each with their own discipline.

Without sufficient charisma and enough weight, it would be absolutely impossible to make so many unruly Soul Beasts obey orders simultaneously.

The blood-soaked Golden Light Eagle stood at the very front of the torrent of ten thousand beasts, its tattered wings slowly unfurling in an arrogant posture.

An ominous thought flashed through Chrysanthemum Douluo's mind.

Behind them... surely those two aren't here too, are they?

The emperors of the Star Dou Forest, the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape.

If those two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast overlords had also arrived, whether Martial Soul City could be defended today was a matter of great uncertainty.

A single overlord versus a beast tide led by overlords were two completely different magnitudes of threat!

Martial Soul City had descended into total chaos.

The commoners looked up to see the sky densely packed with Soul Beasts, terrified out of their wits as they fled in all directions.

Peddlers overturned their stalls, carriages collided and capsized in the streets, and the sounds of crying, shouting, and screaming rose one after another.

The city guards' hands trembled as they gripped their spears; they were facing a beast tide that even a Title Douluo might not be able to stop, so how were they supposed to defend it?

What was even more terrifying was something else.

These Soul Beasts had used some unknown method to open the entrance to the beast tide directly into Martial Soul City!

Martial Soul City was touted as one of the most heavily fortified cities on the Douluo Continent.

It was guarded personally by Pope Bibi Dong, had no fewer than six resident Title Douluos, and housed the most elite Palace Guard Knights on the continent.

Such a place should have been impregnable, a forbidden zone that no Soul Beast could ever touch.

Yet today, the torrent of Soul Beasts had torn through space, opening the entrance directly above Martial Soul City.

What did this mean?

It meant that if Martial Soul Hall could not hold this defensive line today, there would no longer be any safe place left on the entire Douluo Continent.

If even Martial Soul City was not safe, where else could be?

The prestige Martial Soul Hall had accumulated over a century, the faith held in the hearts of all soul masters in the world, would be ground into the dirt and crushed into fragments by the Soul Beasts.

Bibi Dong's expression was so gloomy it seemed as if water might drip from it.

And among the crowd, one person was more bewildered than anyone else.

Tang San stood rooted to the spot, powerless, his fingers ice-cold.

His Eight Spider Lances were shattered, his plans were in disarray, Tang Hao had arrived, and the beasts were descending from the heavens...

The trap he had laid step by step, the path he had paved link by link, was now being torn to shreds by this overwhelming beast tide.

With things having developed to this point, it was almost impossible for him to obtain Xiao Wu's soul ring.

The prerequisite for a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast's sacrifice was her willingness, but in this current situation, would Xiao Wu even need to sacrifice herself?

With the sky and earth filled with Soul Beasts here to save her, why would she ever sacrifice herself?

He suddenly raised his head, his gaze piercing Xiao Wu's back, and a thought slithered into his mind like a venomous snake.

No wonder.

No wonder Xiao Wu dared to come to Martial Soul City with him.

No wonder she had never truly backed down along the way, despite her anxiety.

So she had a backup plan all along!

So she had been guarding against him from the very beginning!

Since that was the case...

Then he could not be blamed for being ruthless!
