Everyone began to prepare.
"We should get moving too," Gu Xun’er said softly to those around her, "Be careful when we charge the beast tide later. Stick close to Mr. Wei."
"Even if everyone gathered here joins together, those who ultimately succeed in breaking through will probably be less than one in ten. Hun Yu and Jiu Feng understand this well—they only want to use the strength of those present to push deeper into the beast tide as much as possible."
"When the time comes, they’ll take advantage of their own strength to break through, while most of the others will become food for the beasts—bait and cannon fodder."
"So even if many forces unite, they still can’t break through?" Xiao Yan’s heart gave a small jolt at those words.
There were at least hundreds of Dou Zun present, and Dou Zong elites were numerous as well. Such a powerful, combined lineup would attract attention—yet it still couldn’t break the beast tide’s blockade?
"Brother Xiao Yan, when you see the scale of the beast tide later, you’ll understand why I said that," Gu Xun’er replied in a low voice.
At that moment, the people on the square finished their preparations and gradually began to move. Figures shot into the sky, thick and dense like a cloud, hovering in midair. Seeing the main force start to move—
"Let’s go." Wei Yang rose slowly. He nodded to the crowd and then slowly ascended. Xian’er and Ah Da stuck closely to him, following without leaving his side.
Seeing this, Xiao Yan, Gu Xun’er, Yun Yun and the others quickly followed, standing behind Wei Yang and forming a small circle together.
"Everyone, we’re moving!"
In the sky, Hun Yu’s gaze flicked briefly toward Wei Yang and the others, then down to the scattered figures on the square who were unwilling or hesitant to join. He no longer paid them any mind.
With a laugh, he shot ahead toward the northern horizon. Behind him, the dark mass of the army rose with thunderous wind, quickly following.
"We’re moving." Wei Yang shifted his position and blended into the crowd, taking a place on the left wing of the main force.
Although he was a Ban Sheng, he had no intention of charging forward as the vanguard. When everyone began to break through in the later stage that would be the time for him to truly exert his strength.
For now, he was content to move with the main force and save energy. The black, dense crowd flew like a thundercloud across the sky.
They flew north.
A hundred-mile journey took less than ten minutes.
When the main force passed over a vast, verdant mountain range, an endless black plain appeared before everyone’s sight. Wei Yang and the others looked beyond the dense figures ahead toward that black plain. They all involuntarily drew a breath.
On that boundless plain, black clouds spread, lightning flashed, and thunder rolled. The ground was covered with large ferocious beasts.
They were dense beyond counting.
Like a blood-red sea, the beasts stretched to the horizon as far as the eye could see. Roars filled with violent madness thundered through the land without pause.
"So this is the Ancient Wasteland Region’s so-called beast tide guarding the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree—indeed terrifying!"
No wonder Gu Xun’er had said that even so many assembled elites could only see fewer than one in ten succeed. Compared with this endless beast tide, their numbers were pitifully small—mere specks in the sea.
Wei Yang’s expression remained calm as his gaze passed over the unending tide and stared toward the distant, darker region beyond—the place where the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree stood. The beast tide lay before them, and beyond it, the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree!
A Hundred Reincarnation!
"Everyone, the beast tide is ahead. Now is the best moment to charge."
"Since I initiated this alliance, I will take the most dangerous point at the tip of the formation for the time being."
"When we are exhausted, we will withdraw to rest and recover, and then swap others in."
Hun Yu’s clear voice rang out once more.
Hearing that he would willingly take the most dangerous vanguard, many people secretly exhaled in relief.
The ones who led the vanguard would naturally be in the greatest danger.
"Does anyone have any objections?" Hun Yu asked.
Everyone shook their heads.
"This guy, could he really be that kind?" Xiao Yan leaned closer to Wei Yang and whispered.
Wei Yang gave a faint chuckle.
When it came to the style of the Hall of Souls and Hun Clan, he knew them better than anyone. People from the Hun Clan, selfless and altruistic?
What a joke—whoever truly believed that would be a fool.
"The ones who offer things for free usually make you pay the highest price," Wei Yang said casually.
"Mm, I understand," Xiao Yan nodded.
"Everyone, prepare to move out!"
A warm smile spread across Hun Yu’s face as his gaze slowly swept through the massive army. His eyes paused briefly on Wei Yang, Xiao Yan, and the others before turning away. Then, without hesitation, he turned and shot forward, taking the lead and rushing straight toward the beast tide.
Behind him, over a dozen black-robed figures followed closely. Behind them came the dense mass of countless powerhouses.
At that moment, everyone’s Dou Qi began to surge through their bodies, spreading out as they prepared themselves for battle. Wei Yang also led his group forward—neither too close to the front nor lagging behind, positioning themselves in the middle section, slightly toward the left wing.
In the sky above—
The black, dense formation stretched across the heavens, forming an arrow-shaped assault formation. At the very top of that formation was none other than Hun Yu and his men. If this massive army truly unleashed its full might, its destructive power would undoubtedly be terrifying.
"Go!"
Seeing the formation take shape, Hun Yu, at the very front, waved his hand sharply.
A sharp sonic boom pierced the air as he led the charge toward the distant beast tide. With his movement, the entire arrow formation shot forward like an unleashed storm, roaring as it tore through the sky.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh—!
The sound of air being split echoed endlessly across the heavens.
Roar! Roar! Awooo!
The overwhelming commotion alarmed the beast tide long before the two sides clashed—while they were still a thousand meters apart, the beasts were already roused.
Instantly, waves of violent, frenzied roars thundered through the land like rolling storms, spreading farther and farther as more beasts joined in.
"Kill!"
In the blink of an eye, that thousand-meter distance vanished. Terrifying Dou Qi erupted from Hun Yu and the others in front.
Boom!
Within a hundred-zhang radius, every savage beast was instantly blown apart into a rain of flesh and blood. At the same time, the massive army crashed fiercely into the beast tide.
Boom boom boom!
The instant the two forces collided, the arrow formation erupted with earth-shaking force. Wave after wave of violent Dou Qi surged outward, cutting down beasts in swaths—within a thousand-zhang radius around the "arrowhead," they fell like wheat beneath a scythe.
The dying howls of countless beasts echoed endlessly across heaven and earth.
Wei Yang’s group clustered together, forming a smaller arrow formation with him at the front as they pressed rapidly forward. From time to time, they casually flung out streaks of refined Dou Qi to annihilate any nearby beasts that got too close.
From what they could tell, the beasts at the outermost edge of the tide weren’t particularly strong—hence, the massive formation was able to advance with such unstoppable momentum.
However, the deeper they went, the stronger the resistance would become. When that time came, the army’s reckless advance would surely grind to a halt—then, it would be every powerhouse for themselves.
Indeed, things went just as they had expected.
After the mighty formation tore open a massive gap in the beast tide and forced its way forward for nearly a thousand zhang, the pressure around them abruptly intensified.
Some of the more powerful beasts were already charging close to the formation—the stench of blood and danger filled the air, causing many faces to darken with grim resolve.
