Two days later.
Year 13,645, May 2nd.
The sky of the entire Eight Ancient Continents brightened up. As usual, the representatives of the forces in the headquarters of the Alliance were busy. At least half of the forces of the big sects were in the headquarters. The others went out to ensure the safety of the area, which was the shelter for the civilians.
However, on this day, a big turning point in the war between mankind and the strange beasts had arrived.
Almost all the coastlines of the Eight Ancient Continents had a large number of strange beasts.
Yeah, it was true that they had a large number of strange beasts. At first glance, they couldn't see the end of the beasts. The entire coastline was covered by a dark shadow, including the flying strange beasts in the sky.
Among these exotic beasts, there were many Class Eight exotic beasts.
Boom Boom Boom!!!
Without the defense line of the Alliance of Sects, the strange beasts covered the sky and directly stormed into the Eight Ancient Continents from all directions. Although the defense line of the Alliance of Sects was still there, it couldn't stop such a large-scale invasion. In terms of numbers, the Alliance of Sects was too weak compared to the force of the strange beasts that had swept all the coastlines.
Some of the strange beasts had used the Teleport Formation to reach the center of the Eight Ancient Continents. However, most of the strange beasts had to move from the coastline. They had to use their own forces to invade the continent.
One hour later.
Rong Ming Plain, Headquarters of the Alliance.
The representatives of all the sects had gathered in the top floor of the Alliance. They had received the news that the strange beasts had invaded the territory. However, it wasn't surprising to them because they had received the news earlier.
It was true that such a large-scale invasion was an agreement between many clans. Moreover, they had to spread the news to the other clans. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to create such a situation. As the Alliance of Sects, of course, they could bribe many strange beasts to provide them with information. However, they had never thought that the number of strange beasts could reach such a terrifying level.
The number of strange beasts was like a mountain pressing on their hearts. Although the top floor of the Alliance of Sects was bustling, it was still very depressing. Facing the invasion of the strange beasts, they couldn't send their Elders or disciples to fight. Otherwise, they would be drowned by the number of strange beasts and die in vain.
The Alliance of Sects could only try their best to protect the safe areas that they had announced to the world. In fact, if the strange beasts attacked those areas, the Alliance of Sects would have to give up.
It was true. The Alliance of Sects had a way out. The ones who were pitiful were the common people in this world. They didn't have the qualification to escape this catastrophe.
It was a true catastrophe for humanity.
The number of Mystical Beasts rushing in from the coast was innumerable. Similarly, the Mystical Beasts of Rank 6 and above were also innumerable. Just the speed of the Rank 6 Mystical Beasts had reached a terrifying level. Even if ordinary people had started to evacuate a few months in advance, it was very easy for these Rank 6 Mystical Beasts to catch up, not to mention the stronger Rank 7 and Rank 8 Mystical Beasts.
The resentment and killing intent of strange beasts towards humans was completely incomprehensible to humans. Therefore, hoping that these strange beasts would show mercy to ordinary humans was completely wishful thinking.
At this moment, the ignorant commoners were either fleeing for their lives toward the depths of the continent, or they felt that they had traveled far enough and had reached a safe place. These commoners had probably only seen a level one Celestial Master in their entire lives. Even the commoners outside the city had never seen a Celestial Master before. Therefore, they had no concept of a higher power.
At this moment, there were commoners hurrying through the grasslands. Women and children were sitting on horses, while men were walking on the ground. They had been on the run for about a month and a half. The children on horseback were really impatient and were clamoring to stop every day.
In fact, the adults did not know when to stop. Many people felt that it was about time. However, the Celestial Master who had informed them at that time told them to keep going deeper and deeper. It would be best if they did not stop for a year.
"Is it about time?" A man asked. The sun was hanging high above, making them even more tired from the long journey. He said, "It's said that there are Mystical Beasts invading the border, but we haven't seen a single one until now."
"I've never seen a Mystical Beast in my life!" Someone echoed loudly. "I don't know what's the difference between a Mystical Beast and a wild beast. Is it just that they're a little bigger?"
"I don't care if they're big or not." another person said loudly. "I only care if their meat tastes good or not!"
"Hahaha!!!"
Everyone laughed loudly. If they did not laugh during the journey, it would be even more boring and tiring. However, at this moment, everyone suddenly felt that the sky had turned dark. The group immediately stopped. Everyone was stunned.
When they looked up, the sky was still cloudless. Why did it turn dark all of a sudden?
Everyone subconsciously looked up at the sky. When they saw the scene in the sky, they were all stunned. Even the horses were the same. It was as if they were all dumbfounded.
In the sky, a Mystical Beast with a wingspan of more than two thousand feet stopped in the air above four thousand feet. It was looking down at them.
In the eyes of this Mystical Beast, the group of humans who were hurrying on the road below were as small as ants.
The humans on the ground were completely stunned. This scene was something they had never imagined. They did not even dare to think about it. They could only stare blankly at the huge bird that covered the sky. Their minds were completely unable to think. They did not even have the thought of running away.
The bird would not go around the humans. The Mystical Beast suddenly screeched. Following that, a ray of light instantly fell from the sky and smashed towards the group on the ground.
The light that fell from the sky was like a miracle to these people. Their bodies were instantly illuminated by the light and then swallowed up.
Rumble!!!
The earth immediately let out an earth-shattering explosion! At the same time, the bird in the sky had already flapped its wings and left.
Thick smoke billowed and spread over a range of several thousand feet. After a long time, the dust gradually settled. The place where the group of people was just now had become a deep pit that was more than three thousand feet in diameter and depth.
This group of people was completely destroyed. Nothing was left.
The same situation occurred in all the coastal areas. Perhaps the groups of pedestrians in the mountains and forests could escape, but the cities that were exposed to the sky would definitely not be spared. For a Mystical Beast of rank six and above, destroying a city was a piece of cake. It did not consume much energy at all. One city after another was razed to the ground. Countless people died because of this. The number was simply uncountable. But one thing was certain. In just a short morning, the number of people who died exceeded the number of people who died in the past few days.
In the Alliance Headquarters, the representatives of the various sects kept counting and estimating the location of the Mystical Beast that had swept through. Although everyone's hearts were heavy, there was one thing to be happy about. That was, until now, there was no news of a rank nine Mystical Beast. Once a rank nine Mystical Beast appeared, it would be a real catastrophe for humanity. At that time, whether it was the Alliance Headquarters or the various sects, they would have to give up all their headquarters and resources to hide.
From morning to noon, and then to evening, the sky began to turn dark. It was not only the sky that turned dark, but also the faces of everyone in the top floor. The reason was very simple. The scouts who went to the coast to investigate reported that there was still an endless stream of Mystical Beasts pouring into the inland from the coast. Not only did the number not decrease, it was increasing instead.
Terrifying.
Everyone's hearts were incomparably heavy. They realized that their estimation of the number of Mystical Beasts in the sea had made a serious mistake. From the looks of it, the number of human Heavenly Masters could not be compared at all. It was a world of difference.
Finally, in the top floor, Chen Kuang could no longer hold it in and asked Yang Mu, "Miss Mu, where is Lu An? Why hasn't he appeared these past few days? "
Everyone's body trembled when they heard this. They all looked at Yang Mu. Indeed, the reason why everyone was here was to listen to Liu Yi's suggestion and wait for Lu An to become a rank nine Heavenly Master. But no matter what, Lu An should appear in front of everyone once. They could not let Lu An go to the front line to fight, but no matter what, it could give everyone a little more confidence.
Hearing this, a trace of panic flashed across Yang Mu's face. She could only lower her head and say nothing.
