The chaotic void was filled with endless rays of light. Suddenly, a storm seemed to sweep over from nothingness. Like a tidal wave, countless rays of light descended upon the battlefield of the Yuan Spirit.
In the short span of ten breaths, the density of the starlight rays on the battlefield of the primordial spirit had soared by several times. The star beasts seemed to have been nourished and became more active. They roared one after another, louder than the other.
"The star tide is here again. Looking at the intensity this time, I'm afraid it will trigger a star beast tide." In the depths of the Yuan City, the Demigod Sovereign who was secretly overseeing opened his eyes and looked at the chaotic void. It was as if he had seen through the mysteries of the universe. Immediately, he transmitted his voice to the Sovereign Realm experts in the Yuan City, explaining the situation and mobilizing them immediately.
It was a mess.
The Sovereign Realm experts were extremely efficient. They passed down the orders one by one. Soon, everyone in the Yuan City was mobilized.
There were a total of twelve strongholds in the Yuan City. Once a star beast tide broke out, the twelve strongholds would bear the brunt. The strongholds were very important. Normally, they would store a lot of resources. Moreover, it was also related to the reputation of the Yuan City.
Guarding the strongholds became a mission. The way to guard the strongholds was very simple and direct. It was to head to a stronghold and kill the attacking star beasts to obtain the corresponding merit points. This was different from clan merit points. In the end, the rewards would be given according to the merit points. The merit points themselves could also be exchanged.
Soon after, twelve streaks of light shot through the air. In an instant, they landed in the twelve strongholds and turned into huge stone tablets that stood on the ground majestically.
Chu Mu had just come out of seclusion when he heard the news that the star tide was coming and would trigger a star beast tide. He was very shocked. He wasn't familiar with the star beast tide at all. However, this didn't hinder his understanding. A beast tide would definitely be a huge number of star beasts attacking. He had experienced similar things before.
Without any hesitation, Chu Mu directly accepted the mission and received a merit token to guard the seventh stronghold. After it recognized him as its master, he quickly left the Yuan City.
A bright ray of light broke through the sky and flew towards the seventh stronghold.
Chu Mu cultivated the Imperial Spirit Art in a short period of ten days. Furthermore, he further modified it to make it more suitable for himself. The modified Imperial Spirit Art could no longer be called the Imperial Spirit Art, but the Imperial Spirit Sword Art.
The difference of a single word caused a huge change to the core of this cultivation technique. It was completely different.
The reason why Chu Mu was able to make such changes in such a short time was because of his great power of understanding and his deep understanding of the Deity Clan's methods. It could be said that in the entire Human Clan, few people could compare with Chu Mu in terms of understanding of the Deity Clan's methods because they didn't have Deity clones.
The Matchless Ship was extremely fast, and after half a day, Chu Mu arrived at the 7th Stronghold.
A large crowd had gathered in the seventh foothold. Some of them were cultivators who originally belonged to the seventh foothold. After the auction ended, they returned to the seventh foothold. Some of them had rushed over from Yuan City after receiving the mission of guarding the foothold.
A large number of cultivators had gathered in the foothold. Their auras were fluctuating and converging, appearing chaotic and powerful.
Countless smoke signals were billowing in the distance. From outside the battlefield, rays of starlight were shooting over. Those rays of starlight were tens or hundreds of times denser than usual. They were clearly visible to the naked eye, and the power that they emitted was extremely terrifying.
The defensive barrier of the stronghold was fully activated because the starlight rays that were amplified by a hundredfold would cause harm to ordinary Great Emperors over time. Unless the Great Emperors were extremely powerful, possessed treasures, or had comprehended the Great Dao of Stars, there were very few people who could withstand the starlight rays.
"The Star Tide is getting stronger."
"It seems that the Star Beast Tide is about to erupt."
Places such as the Primordial Spirit Battlefield and the Primordial Demon Battlefield were filled with dense starlight. Usually, the density of the starlight was moderate, but like the waves of the sea, sometimes the starlight would suddenly become stronger due to various reasons. Some of them would become several times or even ten times stronger, causing the Star Beasts on the battlefield to become more active.
If the starlight was amplified by tens or hundreds of times, it would cause the Star Beasts to go berserk and attack one after another. They didn't have much intelligence, but they had the instinct to fight and kill. This instinct wouldn't target their own race, but other races.
Wherever there were more races, they would go there. Their sensing ability would be significantly enhanced due to the Star Tide, and they would be able to sense where there were more living beings gathered.
A single Star Beast might not be weak, but it wouldn't make people afraid. However, a group of Star Beasts, especially when they were in a berserk state and their strength was thirty percent stronger than usual, was like a disaster. Even a Sovereign Realm expert would pale in fright at the mention of it.
Although gathering in the stronghold would attract the attack of a large number of Star Beasts, it was better than being scattered and torn apart by the berserk Star Beasts. At least the stronghold had some defensive facilities that could strengthen the defense.
There was no specific pattern to the eruption of the Star Tide. The Star Beast Tide was closely related to the Star Tide, so it was naturally the same.
Every Star Beast Tide was a disaster, but it was also an opportunity because it meant that the Star Beasts that one usually had to look for would come to their doorstep on their own. The prerequisite was that one had to have enough strength to hunt and kill the Star Beasts and protect one's own life.
Not only that, killing astral beasts and guarding the strongholds would earn them merit points. As long as the strongholds weren't destroyed, they would be able to use the merit points they earned to exchange for treasures. For those who had a lot of merit points and were ranked very high, they would even be able to obtain rewards.
However, only the top ten in terms of points would be rewarded.
There were many people in the stronghold, more than usual, but Chu Mu couldn't find anyone he knew. However, it didn't matter to him. He stood where he was casually, observing the situation around him while adjusting his breath.
In the distance, smoke billowed, becoming more and more intense. Following that, the ground seemed to tremble slightly, but only those with sharp senses could feel it.
Chu Mu's expression turned serious, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes. He looked ahead and felt that there was a large wave of Star Beasts attacking. Otherwise, there wouldn't be such a tremor.
Not long after, the tremor became more and more obvious. More people felt it, and all of them became vigilant. Their eyes shone brightly, and their auras fluctuated, filling the surroundings.
"The Star Beast Tide is attacking. Everyone, get ready. Go out of the stronghold and fight. Kill the Star Beasts. If you can't hold on, then retreat into the stronghold." A majestic voice rang out, and at the same time, it entered everyone's ears. This was the Sovereign Realm expert overseeing the seventh stronghold.
The stronghold itself had a protective shield, and it was currently in an active state. It could withstand the impact of the starlight rays and Star Beast Tide. However, resisting the starlight rays was nothing. Resisting the impact of the Star Beast Tide would increase the consumption of energy.
Therefore, it was necessary for the cultivators guarding the stronghold to leave the protective shield and fight the Star Beasts outside. If they couldn't hold on, they would retreat into the protective shield to recuperate and disperse the starlight rays that entered their bodies. After that, they would leave the protective shield and continue to hunt the Star Beasts.
If they couldn't hold on, they would retreat into the protective shield and use the shield to resist the impact of the Star Beasts. They would take the opportunity to kill the Star Beasts.
Chu Mu followed the crowd out of the protective shield, and stood tens of thousands of meters away from the shield, waiting for the arrival of the Star Beast Tide.
The tremor on the ground became more and more obvious. Smoke billowed, spreading out in all directions. Vaguely, everyone could see figures rushing over at an astonishing speed.
Under the Star Beast Tide, the Star Beasts would be more active than usual. They would also enter a berserk state, and their strength would be more than thirty percent stronger than usual.
The Star Beasts were already strong to begin with, and if they were thirty percent stronger, they would be even more terrifying.
Everyone's expression turned solemn as they prepared for battle. The Star Beasts charged forward like an army. Their physiques were strong, their speed was fast, and their bodies were huge. It was as if they didn't know the concept of exhaustion. They were like the most ferocious and elite knights charging forward. Their ferocious aura filled the sky, and the moment they appeared, it was a huge impact on everyone.
As far as the eye could see, the figures of the Star Beasts were endless. They were like waves of starlight that came one after another. The terrifying aura caused some of the weaker Great Emperors to turn pale.
However, the ones standing at the front were all Third Step Emperors, and each of them was powerful. The Second Step and First Step Emperors stood in the middle and at the back. At the very least, they were safer in the beginning.
Chu Mu stood in the middle. He was a Second Step Emperor, and even though he was stronger than a Third Step Emperor, it was nothing in the face of such a situation.
Taking a deep breath, Chu Mu circulated the Truth Seeking Technique, and the Great True Wheel started to revolve. Waves of energy flowed out from the Great True Wheel and flowed through Chu Mu's body.
Chu Mu's cultivation wasn't limited to his meridians. There would be energy flowing through every part of his body. Compared to other cultivators, his cultivation was more comprehensive.
The Star Beast army was only a few tens of thousands of meters away from the seventh stronghold. Based on the Star Beasts' speed, they would be able to cross this distance in an instant.
"Kill!" All of a sudden, a loud roar sounded. The Third Step Emperors standing at the front all attacked. A huge Sword Light pierced through the sky, and thunder rumbled. Palm imprints fell like mountains, and dazzling light filled the air. Killing intent filled the air.
Facing the attacks of a large group of Third Step Emperors, the Star Beasts didn't seem to be affected at all. They charged forward fearlessly. Even though they didn't have much intelligence, they had strong battle instincts and knew how to dodge. However, under the influence of the Star Tide, the Star Beasts became more active and entered a berserk state. The advantage of this was that their strength increased by more than thirty percent. The disadvantage was that they charged forward fearlessly.
