At that moment, beast cries rang out from countless places across the Azure Cloud Sea Region.
Storms rose one after another, sweeping toward the various archipelagos.
Countless arrays stood ready as cultivators flew back. Many were no longer willing to remain in the archipelagos at all.
After all, the last beast tide was still vivid in their memories.
This time was unlike the last, when Nascent Soul cultivators had come to oversee the battlefield.
This time, most Nascent Soul cultivators had gone to the Earth Immortal Realm, while the few remaining were the hidden reserves of their respective sects.
Naturally, they could not come out to confront the Flood Dragon Clan and the Stellar Whale Clan again.
In the Jade Cloud Archipelago, Yu Junyuan of the Jade Family was setting up the mountain-protecting array.
Beside Yu Junyuan, several Purple Palace cultivators of the Jade Family looked toward their ancestor, who appeared as youthful as a boy.
"Ancestor, could someone have set us up this time?" Yu Xuanying could not help asking.
Only a few days earlier, they had secretly obtained information about a piece of Astral Whale Jade.
Moreover, Yu Junyuan had reached the peak of Golden Core twenty years ago and urgently needed a precious Nascent Soul medicine to break through.
Naturally, the Jade Family would act. After conducting an investigation, they had begun their plan the day before yesterday.
They had also stirred up a beast tide over the past few days, but theirs was merely intended to draw away the demonic beasts on the outskirts of the Chen Whale Sea.
They had never expected this beast tide to be so immense.
Its scale was hardly inferior to the one fifty years ago.
"Silence! Clear away every trace, and be ready to provide support at any moment!"
