Spirit Beasts Pour In
In the void.
The spatial rift stretched straight to the sky, and within it, everything was gray.
Standing near the spatial rift, one can clearly feel the terrifying aura emanating from it.
Dongfang Yao stared in horror at everything before him.
"What exactly did I just open?!"
Looking around, he realized that he was the only person there.
At that moment, he regretted it.
If he had known that activating the formation would lead to this, he would never have tried to open it.
At this moment, a few more fluctuations suddenly appeared inside the crack.
Dongfang Yao quickly looked over.
A different aura emanated from the crack in the void.
Unlike the terrifying aura of destruction, this aura felt quite unique.
Dongfang Yao's face showed a thoughtful expression.
Suddenly, a thought struck him as he realized a possibility.
This aura seems very similar to that of the place where those Beast Race are located!
It seemed to be to confirm his guess.
At this moment, a huge spirit beast emerged from the crack near the ground.
Roar!
The spirit beast stopped abruptly and let out a low growl.
The next moment, he suddenly turned his head and looked directly at Dongfang Yao.
The spirit beast's eyes held an undisguised bloodlust, as if it had found a delicious meal.
Dongfang Yao's body stiffened.
It wasn't just because of how the spirit beast saw it, but also because of the scene it witnessed.
More spirit beasts began to emerge from the cracks.
"It's over!"
Dongfang Yao's expression changed drastically. He quickly took out his flying boat and sped off into the distance.
At the same time, the spirit beast spotted him, growling and howling as it gave chase.
At the location of the rift, just like when people from Land of the Four Directions entered the secret realm, they were now densely packed together.
A variety of mythical beasts, some running and some flying, surged in.
Some unlucky spirit beasts are located at the edge of spatial rifts, and even the slightest touch will result in severed limbs or being cut open.
In an instant, the air was thick with the stench of blood.
This seemed to further provoke the approaching spirit beasts, adding a touch of madness to their growls.
Why would a spatial rift appear in the upper levels of the Nine Towers?
Xia Ya stared at the void rift not far away, his gaze slightly narrowed.
A moment later, when he noticed the birds flying out of the crack and the scattered figures of spirit beasts, a look of satisfaction flashed across his face.
"Heaven is helping me!"
Although the reason for the spatial rift is unknown, it serves to draw attention to itself.
In this way, the teleportation array will be spared from being destroyed by powerful figures from Land of the Four Directions.
At that moment, it quickly headed in the opposite direction.
In the void.
A large number of people returning from the Nine-Story Tower boarded flying boats and headed towards the location of the spatial rift.
A short while later, someone spoke up:
"Look! In the distance, it looks like a large number of ferocious beasts are running rampant in the jungle!"
Most others noticed this as well.
For a moment, many people's faces showed excitement:
"So many ferocious beasts, is this some kind of protection the secret realm has prepared for us? I thought the lost light was gone forever, but I didn't expect it could be recovered."
"Yes, apart from when we first entered the secret realm, it's been a long time since we've seen so many ferocious beasts."
Someone looked at Wujie, who was leading the way, and said:
"It seems that until the end of the secret realm, it's not certain who will take the top spot among the prodigies. On the Buddhist Order side, if they kill enough spirit beasts, they might be able to surpass Jiang Xin."
While everyone was excitedly chatting...
Wujie, who was at the forefront, suddenly stopped moving.
The farther you go, the more you see.
At this moment, Buddhist light filled Wujie's eyes, as if piercing through the void, looking towards the vicinity of the crack in the distance.
There, the figures of Beast Race surged forth like water rushing from a breached dam, with no end in sight.
Wujie's face was filled with solemnity.
These Beast Race were not ferocious beasts, but rather spiritual beasts!
Furthermore, the strength of the spirit beasts is far greater than before.
Currently, because they are in the sky, the spirit beast's movements do not appear to be very fast.
But with a little observation, it becomes clear that these spirit beasts are spreading at a much faster rate than the previous beast tides!
Compared to the beast tides of the past, this one is nothing but child's play.
"Everyone from the Buddhist Order, return to the city immediately!"
Wujie decisively turned around, simultaneously sending a telepathic message to the Buddhist Order monks in all directions.
Not only him, but also the pride of the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty and the outstanding figures of the Extreme Arms Holy Land made similar moves.
They may have the ability, but they're not stupid either.
Given its scale, the outcome for anyone caught in it is self-evident.
"Wait, why are they all starting to leave?"
Noticing this, many people looked puzzled.
"Why worry about this? They must have a reason for leaving. We should just follow them."
"Look over there! There are so many birds! Holy crap, they look so big from this distance, I wonder how huge they must be up close!"
"Damn it, you're so impressed! Don't you see how fast these birds are? They're faster than our airships, you idiot! If we don't leave now, we won't be able to leave!"
As the birds approached and a terrifying array of spirit beasts swarmed in the distance, the crowd instantly descended into chaos.
"So, the cause of the events that occurred in the secret realm was here?"
Looking at the spirit beasts surging out of the cracks, Lu Changzhi spoke softly.
At this moment, he manipulated his External Avatar to stand in the void not far from the spatial rift.
A multitude of birds flew by intricately, yet not one attacked it.
"The effect is quite good."
Lu Changzhi glanced down at the Nonhuman Plaque at his waist and nodded in satisfaction.
"However, right now..."
With a soft voice, Lu Changzhi regained his composure and looked towards the Nine-Story Tower.
Gu Chen and the others were still in the process of comprehending the truth.
"No, doing it that way is far too risky."
Lu Changzhi shook his head, putting the plan aside.
His initial plan was to have Gu Chen and the others go to a nearby location and kill the spirit beast.
But that would still be too risky.
It's currently unknown where this spatial rift leads, and if anything unexpected happens, it could cause trouble.
At this moment, Lu Changzhi's heart stirred slightly.
On the other side of the rift, one of the old ancestor's companions arrived.
And he had clearly noticed Lu Changzhi as well.
A moment later, he appeared in front of Lu Changzhi, glanced at him, his expression shifting slightly, and said:
"Hidden Origin Peak, Lu Changzhi?"
Lu Changzhi nodded and replied:
"Indeed, greetings, Ancestor."
At the same time, through the system, he learned some information about this ancestor.
Huo Zhen is at the Saint King Realm Sixth Stage.
"This must be the Senior Brother Huo that Ancestor Jiang was talking about."
Lu Changzhi thought to himself.
At this moment, Huo Zhen looked at the spatial rift and said:
"Did you create this spatial rift?"
