Thus, in the southern region of the Divine Mirror World, a gargantuan spatial gate suddenly appeared.
The second-generation Spirit-Engulfing Beasts began to pour out from the spatial gate. They were no longer yelling "I want to eat brains". Instead, they were muttering the word "revenge". Their auras were subdued like ghosts, but they also possessed the vigilance of wild beasts. They slowly disappeared into the darkness, and they really did look like hunters of darkness.
An Lin and Tina stared at the second-generation Spirit-Engulfing Beasts with satisfaction. Villains like these were definitely going to be a nightmarish experience for the nine tribes!
Tina had modified the original Spirit-Engulfing Beasts, so the energy expended was much less than when she had created a creature out of thin air. Hence, she still had enough energy to accelerate the flow of time.
The first dimensional gate that symbolized the humiliation of the villains began to collapse. This event symbolized the true victory of the Nine Great Clans against the foreign invasion. All the races rejoiced, and many historians began to write heroic epics of this battle, making the heroes of some races immortalized in history.
However, this joy did not last for long before a new crisis began to befall them.
In the beginning, some hunters who ventured deep into the forest of mutant beasts mysteriously disappeared, and some powerful beings who ventured out of their territory never returned. As time went on, similar incidents began to occur more and more frequently.
In the end, a powerful being of the Holy Martial Clan returned, creating a massive stir across the entire continent.
He encountered an extremely powerful inky-black creature beside a spirit lake. The creature's aura was subdued, but its speed and power were extremely terrifying. If it weren't for the fact that the powerful being's cultivation base was at the Spirit Nurturing Pinnacle Stage, he would most likely have been killed.
In the end, after an intense battle, the Holy Martial Clan powerful being was able to subdue the black creature before transporting it back to the city. This was a creature that they were very familiar with, the Spirit-Engulfing Beasts!
The Spirit-Engulfing Beasts had returned! This piece of news swept through the nine tribes like a massive storm, and even the humans who had some ties with the nine tribes had heard about it.
The Spirit-Engulfing Beasts had become more powerful, and they were no longer so stupid!
They wouldn't blindly lunge at the place where there were more intelligent creatures. They chose to hide in the wilderness, at the bottom of the ocean, and in the clouds and mist in the sky, waiting for an opportunity to strike.
All of a sudden, a huge sense of danger loomed over the heads of the Nine Great Clans.
They seemed to have been stimulated by something and were rejuvenated with energy and fighting spirit. One by one, they began to form a crusade team. They were determined to exterminate these resurrected monsters.
Battles broke out one after another on the outskirts of the faction.
"Roar!" A tiger-shaped Spirit-Engulfing Beast suddenly leaped down from a certain tree before pouncing toward a team of humanoid snakes.
"Be careful!" A man shouted and pushed his hands towards the black tiger body that was pouncing towards him. Blazing flames spurted out.
The tiger-shaped Spirit-Engulfing Beast suddenly spread open its wings, and it arced through the air to evade the man's flame attack. At this moment, the other four Snake Spirit Clan members on the ground also hurled spell techniques toward the flying tiger.
The leaves rustled in the wind. A twisted and deep black shadow slowly appeared in the forest.
It was a six-tailed fox. While the flying tiger was distracting it, it slowly approached the team. Its six tails were as sharp as spears, and they suddenly elongated before puncturing the chests of five Snake Spirit Clan powerful beings!
During the night, a Fire Raven with crimson flames burning all over its body landed on the top of a tree. The temperature of the flames wasn't very high. Instead, it was quite warm and didn't burn the leaves of the tree even after coming into contact with them.
It was just about to close its eyes to rest when a huge black python enshrouded in shadows suddenly shot forth like a cannonball before opening its cavernous mouth.
A disdainful smile appeared on the Fire Raven's face as it spread open its wings and flew into the sky, evading the python's attack.
So what if the Spirit-Engulfing Beast was powerful? It could fly, so it had plenty of time to take care of the Spirit-Engulfing Beast hanging from the tree. Just as this thought was running through its mind, a mist of blood suddenly erupted from its chest.
A sense of impending doom engulfed the Fire Raven's entire body, and it sensed an extremely terrifying aura behind it. A Spirit-Engulfing Beast with a pair of wings on its back plunged a spear into the Fire Raven's chest before absorbing its life force relentlessly.
Blood spread, and so did the horror …
Perhaps it was because the first generation of Spirit-Engulfing Beasts were too stupid, but the nine tribes didn't actually take this incident very seriously. They merely treated it as a rebirth of the Spirit-Engulfing Beasts.
However, they began to discover that the Spirit-Engulfing Beasts that had appeared this time were far more terrifying than they had imagined.
The team that didn't have a Spirit Nurturing Stage powerful being among their ranks would be completely annihilated if they encountered the Spirit-Engulfing Beasts. After a period of battle, the team was completely routed, and they quickly began to retreat.
Many of the hot-blooded cultivators silently returned to their cities. They wanted to do great things and become heroes, but the countless bloody battles that had taken place reminded them that if they didn't have a good grasp of their own power, they would die very quickly.
The appearance of the Spirit-Engulfing Beasts and the devastating battles that had taken place had made the nine tribes realize that they were not powerful enough to control the entire continent. If they wanted to survive, they had to become more powerful!
The battle between the nine tribes and the Spirit-Engulfing Beasts continued. However, their battles were becoming more and more elite. The weak had no right to participate as they discovered that the Spirit-Engulfing Beasts could become more powerful by devouring life forms.
Thus, they slowly expanded their territory before constructing walls.
"There's going to be a major change in heaven and earth soon," Tina suddenly said.
An Lin's interest was piqued, and he started to look forward to what was to come.
One day, a top-tier team of the True Demon Tribe was surrounded by several dozen Spirit-Engulfing Beasts on a black mountain. There were Spirit Devouring Beasts that could fly in the sky, as well as ferocious Spirit Devouring Beasts that were on the ground. The five Spirit Nurturing Stage true demons used a spell formation to defend against the relentless onslaught of attacks, and they were on the verge of defeat.
"Team leader, you have to run! We'll carve an opening for you even if it costs us our lives!" A true demon spoke with a determined expression.
The team leader remained silent as death approached. The black mist domain around his body transformed into a black dragon that revolved around the spell formation to defend against the Spirit-Engulfing Beasts' attacks.
The team leader suddenly sat down to meditate upon hearing his team member's words. Wind and clouds suddenly began to surge around him.
Dark clouds suddenly appeared within a radius of one and a half kilometers, lightning crackled, and vital energy surged violently.
What was going on? All of the team members were astonished.
"Could it be, team leader, you …" One of the team members stared at their team leader with incredulity on his face.
All of the team members drew a sharp intake of breath. Was their team leader finally going to take the step that no one had been able to take?
An Lin also became excited upon seeing this. "This is … tribulation transcendence? Is this world finally going to give birth to a true Soul Formation Stage cultivator?! "
A smile appeared on Tina's face. "Tribulation transcendence … This is proof that a certain level of life is not tolerated by heaven and earth, so divine punishment must fall. If a living being successfully transcends the tribulation and gives birth to a powerful being, then this world can progress to a higher level! This is the natural law of the world, and it's a win-win situation! "
An Lin nodded as he looked at the true demon with anticipation on his face.
Boom!
A dazzling bolt of lightning suddenly fell upon the true demon's body, causing his entire body to tremble violently.
All of the team members had no idea what tribulation transcendence looked like, and their expressions shifted drastically as they looked up into the sky. "What kind of freak is this? How dare you ambush our team leader! Show yourself!"
An Lin: "…"
