Terrifying Lake

Mana converged, ultimately forming a mighty formation. A phantom of a turtle-shaped ferocious beast condensed into being, and the eighteen black-clad figures directly encircled the group, the immortal artifacts in their hands humming.

With merely a glance, Bai Yu discovered that all eighteen black-clad figures were Body Integration Realm cultivators. Yet strangely, their auras were unstable, and even the aura of humanity upon them was exceedingly faint.

Clearly, their cultivation had been forcibly elevated; even their Three Corpses had yet to be perfected.

Yet being able to achieve this already demonstrated Shu Lichuo's terrifying strength. Regardless of whether their auras were shallow and unsteady, eighteen Body Integration Realm powerhouses standing here were enough to wipe out most factions.

Who knew what price Shu Lichuo had paid to create these dozen-odd figures.

At the side, Lu Chuan's expression darkened as he looked at the eighteen powerhouses before him.

"I never expected that, in the end, you would still choose to do this."

Lu Chuan murmured inwardly. The existence of these eighteen people was the forbidden art within the Heaven-Mending Scripture: using everything from ferocious beasts to beastify humans, thereby raising their cultivation.

And raising one's cultivation required countless precious materials, as well as people of supreme talent enduring unimaginable agony before they could become Beast Soldier Men!
