Two days later.
The safe zones that the Sect Union had divided weren't big. Besides the four big empires, there were only seven zones in seven directions. Each zone was about the size of two medium-sized countries. These zones were located in the middle of the four big empires in the center of the Eight Ancient Continents. This way, people on the Eight Ancient Continents could reach the safe zones as soon as possible.
In fact, ordinary people couldn't reach the safe zones. Even the Heaven Masters couldn't. Only Heaven Masters above level 6 could reach the safe zones. However, Heaven Masters above level 6 wouldn't stay in the seven safe zones to protect themselves. They would go to the four big empires. Thus, there weren't many Heaven Masters in the safe zones. Even the Heaven Masters in the safe zones had gone to the four big empires, leaving only ordinary people.
The seven zones were controlled by the seven camps of the thirty-one Sects. As early as the day before yesterday, the various factions had arranged for many people to be stationed at the borders of the safe zone. Since then, the Sect Alliance had begun to shrink the area of the safe zone. Otherwise, the sects would not have enough people.
However, the speed of the Strange Beasts' invasion was much faster than the Sect Union had predicted.
Many days ago, many level 8 Strange Beasts had intruded the continent. Moreover, since the war had broken through the defense line, many Strange Beasts could activate the Teleport Formation for other Strange Beasts. The number of Strange Sea Beasts in the Eight Ancient Continents was increasing rapidly. At the same time, it meant that more and more people would be affected.
For example … the Endless Desert.
During this chaotic period, the Endless Desert had become a safe zone that wasn't affected by the war between the Sects. That was why the population of the countries around the Endless Desert had soared. However, the problem was that the Endless Desert wasn't one of the seven safe zones. The people here couldn't escape.
However, even though they couldn't escape, they didn't want to. Many religions claimed that their great God would kill all the Strange Beasts and drive away this calamity. Many Heaven Masters were the same. They could have escaped, but they chose to stay and be protected by the God.
Would the God protect them?
Of course not.
Yesterday, when so many Strange Sea Beasts had swept over the Endless Desert, the sky and the ground of the countries around the Endless Desert were plunged into darkness. The Strange Beasts wouldn't listen to the religion. They wouldn't even listen when they were told that they had been brainwashed. Even when they heard some humans say 'The God will punish you,' they looked at them as if they were fools.
Rumble!
Power was the real thing. In just one day, almost all the major cities of the countries around the Infinite Desert had fallen.
The strange beasts wreaked havoc and massacred everywhere in the city, venting their hatred for humans without reservation. They would not show any mercy at all. They kept trampling on cities, destroying cities, and even attacking the same city repeatedly. There were even strange beasts that purposely surrounded the city, amusing themselves by watching the humans fleeing in fear.
The entire sky around the Infinite Desert was filled with a huge amount of dust and smoke. In just one day, more than half of the people had died. The number of casualties was in the billions. It was impossible to estimate.
Today, however, the Mystical Beast had arrived outside the safe zone faster than the sect had expected.
Taking advantage of these few days, the sect's Heavenly Masters guarding this place had already released their power to build many walls that were thousands of feet tall. They were taller than ordinary mountains, forming an incomparably huge barrier outside the safe zone to defend against strange beasts below Level 6. However, the time was too short, and these huge barriers were intermittent. It was impossible to connect all of them together.
Among the seven safe zones, the one in the southwest was the responsibility of the Ice Fire Alliance. It was noon now, and most of the sect's Heavenly Masters were resting. They sat on the tall barriers and looked at the scenery outside. Everyone's expression was very heavy, and there was an indescribable feeling in their hearts.
No one would have thought that there would be such a war one day. They also did not expect that this war would happen in their generation.
They were lucky enough to experience history.
As a member of the Ice Fire Alliance, although their strength was weak, they still had to do their best. With the disappearance of the coastal front line, everyone from the front line came here. Dong Huashun and Ceng Ping were in one place, while Guo Pingxian and She Xin were in another.
Ever since the incident last time, Dong Huashun and Ceng Ping's relationship had improved. Guo Pingxian had always secretly liked She Xin. Ever since She Xin let go of her hatred and the knot in her heart, she wholeheartedly accepted Guo Pingxian and was with him.
Now, Guo Pingxian and She Xin were resting on one of the barriers. She Xin leaned on Guo Pingxian's shoulder. Ever since she was with Guo Pingxian, she felt extremely at ease.
Guo Pingxian was a very strong, calm, and honest person. To him, the current days were too blissful. He was willing to live like this forever.
However …
Rumble!!!
Suddenly, a terrifying sound of space exploding came from afar. Guo Pingxian's body shook, and he immediately stood up and quickly walked to the outer edge of the barrier.
In the distance, a huge black line appeared in the sky, and it was getting bigger and bigger.
A strange beast!
Without a doubt, it could only be a strange beast.
Guo Pingxian's expression immediately became very serious. He immediately turned to She Xin and shouted, "Quickly retreat!"
She Xin saw this and her body shook. She quickly said, "What about you?!"
"I have to stay here. This is an order from the Alliance!" Guo Pingxian quickly said, "Immediately return to Ice Fire City and inform the Alliance Leader!"
"But …" She Xin was anxious to say something but was immediately interrupted by Guo Pingxian.
"Quickly leave!" Guo Pingxian almost shouted. This was also the first time he shouted at She Xin. He shouted, "If you stay here, I will be more distracted!"
"…"
She Xin bit her lower lip. Without hesitation, she immediately activated the Teleportation Portal and quickly left. When Guo Pingxian saw that the Teleportation Portal was closed, he heaved a sigh of relief and immediately turned to look ahead.
The black line in the sky in the distance had already become a black curtain that covered half the sky.
Guo Pingxian was not the only one on the city wall. There were four Level 8 Heavenly Masters, ten Level 7 Heavenly Masters, and ten Level 6 Heavenly Masters. It was not that the sect did not let the disciples out to carry out missions, but the front line could only be handled by the Elders. The disciples could not help at all. All the disciples were gathered in the safe zone to clean up and kill the low-level strange beasts that had escaped the net.
The other Elders also immediately ordered all the disciples to retreat. Soon, only five Level 8 Heavenly Masters were left standing on the barrier. The five of them were from the Camp Sect and the four sects. Including Dong Huashun, the five of them were very small, especially when compared to the darkness in the distance that was getting closer and closer.
No matter what, they could not retreat!
When the darkness in the sky was less than two hundred thousand feet away from the five of them, the five of them immediately released their auras. The violent energy immediately swept over the barrier, causing the entire barrier to tremble. The five of them immediately flew into the sky and separated by more than five thousand feet, forming a line of defense that was two hundred thousand feet long. Even if they died, they had to stop these strange beasts!
A distance of ten thousand feet!
The five Elders immediately roared and released all of their strength without holding back. They formed their strongest Heavenly Art and rushed towards the darkness in front of them!
"Kill!"
"Wu!"
The strange beast in the lead was not to be outdone. The strange beast in the air flapped its wings with all its strength, and the light of its power lit up the sky. The strange beasts on the ground all used their special powers to attack the five Elders!
"Rumble!"
Heaven and earth trembled. More than ten thousand feet of the ground instantly collapsed, and more than five thousand feet of the ground in the center immediately formed a pitch-black pit!
There were obviously more strange beasts. Although most of them were Level 7 and Level 6, there were more than ten Level 8 strange beasts. They had an absolute advantage in terms of numbers.
Similarly, the Elders of the four sects were not all peak Level 8 Heavenly Masters. Only two of them were Level 8 late-stage, and the other two were Level 8 mid-stage. There was no gap in their realms, and they were at a complete disadvantage in terms of numbers. There was no doubt that this battle would be extremely difficult.
In fact … they might all die.
