The Beast Tide was no idle rumor.
After Lin Xiao relayed the news, various factions dispatched people to the Star Dou Great Forest to observe the situation. Once all the reports were compiled, the conclusion was clear:
The Soul Beasts throughout the Star Dou Great Forest were indeed in an uproar!
The Beast Tide was truly coming!
This news caused panic among many Soul Masters, including Emperor Xue Ye and the Star Luo Emperor. Even Spirit Hall was deeply worried.
It was easy to understand what a Beast Tide was, but no one knew the extent of its destructive power!
And the Ferocious Beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest.
Was it finally time to face them?
...
Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
"Uncle Ning, Rongrong is currently cultivating in a very safe place, so please don't worry."
Ning Fengzhi breathed a sigh of relief.
He looked at Lin Xiao and said with a bitter smile:
"Forgive my lack of composure."
"With such a major event suddenly occurring, my biggest concern was Rongrong. After awakening her Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, Rongrong's importance, from the perspective of our family's heritage, actually surpasses mine."
"If Rongrong's safety is guaranteed, then I can fully commit myself and see what these so-called Ferocious Beasts are truly capable of!"
Lin Xiao immediately said:
"The Star Dou Great Forest borders the eastern side of the Star Luo Empire and the western side of the Heaven Dou Empire. Both are also to the south of the two empires, so these two fronts will be the main battle lines during the Beast Tide."
Ning Fengzhi nodded, feeling slightly relieved, and said:
"Spirit Hall has already promised to take action."
"However, they demand that all gains from this Beast Tide be distributed solely by Spirit Hall. Regardless, Spirit Hall's involvement at least provides some assurance."
After all, they shared a common fate.
However, what made Lin Xiao somewhat unable to hold back was that Bibi Dong was still thinking of gaining benefits from the Beast Tide? Did she really view the Ferocious Beasts as Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts?
...
Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
Yu Yuanzhen sat at the head, his tall figure exuding an aura like a coiled giant dragon!
He said in a deep voice:
"The Beast Tide is imminent. My Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, along with the Elephant Armored Sect, Fire Leopard Sect, and Wind Sword Sect, will be responsible for defending the western side of the Heaven Dou Empire!"
At this, Yu Yuanzhen paused, then calmly stated:
"I once lost to Poison Douluo, and I was utterly convinced by that defeat; there's nothing more to say. However, other sects have since underestimated my Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, even questioning whether the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon still deserves to be called the number one Beast Martial Soul in the world."
"This crisis is also an opportunity."
"We will show the Soul Master World that my Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is still one of the Upper Three Sects!"
Yu Yuanzhen looked at one of the third-generation disciples.
"Tian Heng! You're going this time too! I see you constantly living in a haze, giving up on yourself. Rather than living such a wretched life, it's better to die on the battlefield!"
"At least then you'll be like a man!"
Like a man!
These four words deeply stung Yu Tianheng. He clenched his fists, his fingertips digging into his flesh, and a crazed look appeared in his eyes!
The reason he had fallen to his current state?
Wasn't it because the sect had tried to scheme against Dugu Yan back then?
Now, it was somehow his own fault!
And they said he wasn't like a man?
"Heh... heheh..."
Yu Tianheng chuckled lowly, full of sarcasm.
...
Crown Prince Residence.
Qian Renxue sat in the study, with Pufferfish Douluo and Spear Douluo standing guard beside her.
"Young Master, why must you, with your precious status, go to the front lines?"
"The Ferocious Beasts are brutal and extremely dangerous!"
Spear Douluo painstakingly tried to persuade Qian Renxue, hoping she would remain behind to coordinate the troops. After all, his mission was to ensure Qian Renxue's safety.
Qian Renxue waved her sleeve.
"I've made up my mind! Elder Spear, there's no need to say more!"
"Staying behind will inevitably lead to accusations of cowardice, and besides, this is an opportunity for me to build up the Crown Prince's reputation!"
Beyond that, Qian Renxue had other considerations.
She had long desired to win over Lin Xiao but had never found the chance. Spiny Porcupine Elder and she both agreed that Lin Xiao was a very emotional person.
Now that she and Lin Xiao would be going to the battlefield together, if they encountered any difficulties, they could help each other. After the major battle, they would have a comradeship forged in combat. Would Lin Xiao still refuse her then?
How could she miss such a golden opportunity!
...
Spirit Hall.
Bibi Dong sat on the Pope's throne, holding the Gem Scepter, and clad in the Gilded Pope Robe. She exuded nobility, elegance, and unparalleled grace.
Beside her, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo, her two protectors, were inseparable.
The Pope's authority was so awe-inspiring that no one dared to look directly at her!
Although Bibi Dong took this Beast Tide seriously, she also harbored other intentions.
For instance, she was determined to acquire a Ferocious Beast's Soul Ring and Soul Bone, no matter the cost!
The reason Bibi Dong was so fixated on a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring wasn't due to obsessive-compulsive disorder, but because one of the assessment tasks for her God's Examination was to hunt a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring to imbue her second Martial Soul!
Compared to mobilizing people herself to hunt Soul Beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest, wasn't it like a pillow appearing when she was sleepy, now that the Ferocious Beasts were delivering themselves to her doorstep?
She possessed twin top-tier Martial Souls and was ranked among the Super Douluo.
Even excluding the Worship Hall, she still had several Titled Douluo under her command!
Chrysanthemum Douluo, Ghost Douluo, Kite Douluo, Holy Dragon Douluo, Ghost Leopard Douluo, Demon Bear Douluo…
With such a formidable lineup.
Hunting a Ferocious Beast would be effortless, wouldn't it?
As for Di Tian, she'd just let that old geezer Qian Daoliu deal with him!
Bibi Dong's eyes gleamed. She felt a faint sense of pride, believing that even against Di Tian, with enough Titled Douluo on her side, they might not be completely helpless.
In any case, failure was out of the question!
"Your Excellency, Pope, the Knight Legion is fully assembled and awaiting your inspection at any moment!"
Chrysanthemum Douluo bowed respectfully and spoke.
Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong waved her delicate hand.
"Depart!"
...
Worship Hall.
Qian Daoliu, along with the seven great Enshrinements, knelt before the Angel God Statue, praying devoutly.
"Merciful and great Angel God, may your eternal radiance shine upon all people…"
After reciting the prayer, Qian Daoliu held the Angel Divine Sword in both hands, feeling the holy divine power within it, his brows deeply furrowed.
He had received a letter from Lin Xiao.
The information in the letter had sent a chill down his spine.
A Ferocious Beast nearly eight hundred thousand years old, a pure-blooded True Dragon, an Ancient Black Dragon bloodline, the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King, the Beast God, demigod power, the strongest under the gods…
Although he didn't know where Lin Xiao had obtained this intelligence.
Qian Daoliu had never doubted the truthfulness of Lin Xiao's words.
Precisely because of this, he felt an unprecedented pressure.
However, whether it was the founding principles of Spirit Hall, the ideals of the Angel God, or even the threat from the Ferocious Beasts, all compelled Qian Daoliu to have no reason to retreat.
He could only draw his sword and advance!
It was a pity that no old friends were beside him anymore…
Qian Daoliu felt a touch of melancholy. If Tang Chen or Bo Saixi were here, and they joined forces, what would they have to fear from even the Beast God Di Tian?
...
The Star Dou Great Forest learned that humans had made preparations in advance.
But it didn't care.
Perhaps, someone had detected the signs early.
But a Beast Tide was never a trick; it was an overt strategy.
It was a cruel war where blood covered blood, and flesh piled upon flesh!
"It's about time."
Accompanied by a dragon's roar from deep within the Star Dou Great Forest.
Countless Soul Beasts, like a raging flood.
Charged out of the Star Dou Great Forest, one after another, forming a rolling Beast Tide that quickly reached the border of human territory!
