After the roar, a white horse emerged from a cloud of smoke like an all-enveloping fog.
A spatial gate opened, revealing a vast expanse of hellish red within, and a three-headed Demon Hound appeared.
"Roar! Roar! Roar!!" A gigantic snow-white ape bellowed as it leaped down from a mountain, pounding its chest with both fists in a thunderous rhythm.
A huge black panther, its pitch-black figure blurred, suddenly raced out from a thousand meters away, splitting into three, then six...
The Green Lion was ferocious, its roar shaking the ten heavens and nine earths!
Behind the Shadow Wolf surged a dark, raging tide.
"Awooo!" It threw back its head with a wild howl, and hordes of its wolf descendants raced out of that shadow world, every one of them extraordinarily fierce.
Overhead, piercing eagle cries rang out, their circling forms blotting out the sun.
"Heavens! A million years! They're all Demon Beasts with a million years of cultivation!"
"How could so many Million-Year Demon Beasts be hiding in the Falling Star Great Forest?"
"Am I dreaming? Am I really not dreaming?!"
"Wait! Look over there! Th-that's... a qilin?!"
"Not just any qilin-a Double-Pupiled Qilin! With that might, it must have at least four or five million years of cultivation!"
"All these Demon Kings appearing at once! Is the Southern Region about to have its heavens overturned?"
The sight of these towering beasts terrified everyone until their bodies turned into heaps of mud, unable to rise again.
They were not the only ones frightened.
The Earthcore Flame Serpent's subtle movements all but wrote the words "I want to flee" across its face.
Its former arrogance had been crushed out of existence, and it dared not show a trace of it.
Even it could not fight ten Million-Year Demon Beasts at once.
