Lin Fan soared through the air, heading toward the Sea of Beasts for burial. Originally, he had planned to crush all the beasts along the way to increase the level of his *Blood Sea Demon Cultivation Technique*. However, to his confusion, the beasts seemed to have vanished entirely. Those that remained were only a few weaklings.
In Lin Fan’s mind, perhaps he had killed too many beasts, and the fiercer ones had realized he was their natural predator and thus hidden themselves.
But just then, deafening roars shook the sky, reverberating across the heavens. In the distance, red light flickered, and the entire world turned hazy and dim.
Lin Fan stared in shock.
It was actually a beast tide.
Lin Fan knew what a beast tide was. The sect records mentioned it—every dynasty would face a beast tide every ten years, though the exact reason remained unknown.
Lin Fan soared through the sky, heading towards the Burial Sea Demon Land. Originally, according to Lin Fan’s plan, he intended to crush the demon beasts along the way to level up his “Blood Sea Demon Art.” However, to his surprise, the demon beasts seemed to have vanished, leaving only a few insignificant ones behind.
Lin Fan thought perhaps he had hunted too many, and the beasts, aware of his presence as a natural predator, had gone into hiding.
But just then, deafening roars echoed through the heavens, and a red glow appeared in the distance, casting a gray haze over the entire sky.
Lin Fan was stunned.
It was a beast tide.
Lin Fan knew what a beast tide was. The sect’s records mentioned that every dynasty, every decade, would face a wave of beast tides. The exact reason was unknown.
However, hundreds of dynasties in the Eastern Spirit Continent had been destroyed by beast tides, with human casualties being extremely severe. Yet, compared to the entire Eastern Spirit Continent, it was a drop in the ocean, and few paid much attention.
Lin Fan frowned as he looked into the distance.
Every dynasty facing a beast tide would have sect warriors come to help defend. Why did this city seem to have none?
Strange, indeed.
At this moment, the cries of the people merged into a deafening roar, reaching Lin Fan’s ears.
Lin Fan hesitated. With so many beasts, it was likely beyond his ability to handle.
Especially the humanoid beast with eight tails and flames burning around it. In Lin Fan’s eyes, it was particularly formidable.
Ants gnawing at an elephant—even if he were that strong and sturdy elephant, he couldn’t guarantee survival amidst so many ants.
Although the demon beast essence blood was somewhat useful to Lin Fan now, the current situation wasn’t worth the risk. Charging into a beast tide like a wave would mean instant submersion.
Forget it, better to pretend he didn’t see it.
Lin Fan decided to change his route. This small dynasty had no connection to him, and there was no need to risk his life for it.
But after flying for a while, Lin Fan stopped.
The pleas of the people echoed in his ears. His gaze pierced through the layers of space, imprinting their faces in his mind.
The despair on the faces of the commoners, the fearless expressions of the city guards—he saw it all.
Looking at the vast landscape, this was a city with tens of millions of people. If the beast tide broke through, no one would survive.
Seeing this scene, Lin Fan couldn’t help but recall the day the Saint Demon Sect was destroyed. His fellow disciples, hearing of the sect’s impending doom, had stayed without fear of death, just like these city guards.
The despair on the faces of the commoners was akin to the Saint Demon Sect’s final moments—no rescue, utterly helpless.
“Damn it…”
Lin Fan cursed under his breath, then took the chick out of his backpack.
“Cluck cluck…”
The chick chirped as soon as it emerged, but this time, Lin Fan patted its head.
“Chick, stop fooling around. I know you’re not stupid. Look at this scene. I want to save the people of this city. Are you in?” Lin Fan said.
The chick, with its big, innocent eyes, looked at Lin Fan, then at the crumbling city, and finally at the beast tide.
“Cluck cluck cluck…” At this moment, the chick stood on Lin Fan’s shoulder, extended one featherless wing, and its eyes sparkled with boundless brilliance. It then raised its head and crowed, as if saying, “Let’s go, crush them.”
“Good, you’ve got guts.” Lin Fan laughed, then flew back.
But even now, Lin Fan wanted to make a grand entrance, to be remembered by the world.
“Formless Demon” activated.
“Sword Canon” activated.
“Sky Sword” activated.
“Dragon Emperor’s Domination” activated.
…
At this moment, Lin Fan unleashed his full power. A three-headed, six-armed demonic avatar appeared behind him, emitting a terrifying black light. A sword intent that could tear through the void condensed into a massive sword, swirling around Lin Fan.
With a combat power boost, a golden dragon coiled around Lin Fan’s body from head to toe, radiating a dazzling golden light.
…
“Look, a god…” At this moment, the people of Qingling County pointed at the radiant figure in the sky and shouted.
Hope—they saw hope. The moment the beast tide cut off their water routes, they had lost all hope. But in this instant, hope reappeared.
“Sir, what is that?” The aura in the sky blotted out the sun and illuminated the surroundings. Xiao Lie’s body trembled uncontrollably—not from fear, but from excitement.
“Is it a god?” Xiao Lihai whispered. The light in the sky was so intense that it was impossible to see who it was.
Then, a dragon’s roar echoed through the heavens. Under the astonished gazes of the crowd, a golden dragon radiating infinite light descended from the sky and merged into the void.
At this moment, the light dissipated, and the figure in the sky became visible.
“Ah… it’s a god, it really is a god.” The common people, seeing the figure in the sky, fell to their knees in excitement.
They knew of martial artists, but when had they ever witnessed such a scene?
The three-headed, six-armed demonic avatar was imposing, its terrifying form sending chills down everyone’s spine.
At the same time, the sword intent condensed into a massive sword seemed to stir the heavens and the earth.
Sacred, majestic, like a deity from the highest heavens.
Lin Fan was quite satisfied with his appearance. Martial arts weren’t just about strength—they also had to look impressive.
He dared say that the appearance of these techniques was unmatched in the Eastern Spirit Continent.
Xiao Lihai trembled, then knelt on the ground, shouting, “I beg you, great one, save the people of this city.”
Xiao Lihai knew that the person before him was a martial artist, and an incredibly powerful one at that. Whether Qingling County would survive depended entirely on this person’s decision.
Xiao Lihai’s roar, fueled by his entire true essence, echoed across the sky.
The desperate people in the city also knelt, crying out, “Great god, save us…”
“Save us…”
…
“Condense…”
In an instant, the heavens and the earth changed. A voice, like one from the highest heavens, shook everyone’s hearts.
At this moment, an unbelievable scene unfolded.
In the sky, the massive sword that had stirred the heavens and the earth suddenly split—one into two, two into four… continuously dividing.
The entire sky was filled with countless swords, as if covering the heavens and the earth, floating silently.
Everyone in the city was stunned by the sight.
It was a world of swords.
The soldiers defending the city found that the swords in their hands trembled uncontrollably, then broke free from their grasp and flew into the sky.
“Sir, this… this…” Xiao Lie, witnessing this scene, was too shocked to speak.
“Buzz…”
At this moment, the entire Qingling County trembled.
In every corner of the city, the quietly placed swords began to shake, then shot into the sky, flying towards the void.
At this moment, Qingling County became a world of swords. The countless swords floating upwards left everyone in awe.
Lin Fan narrowed his eyes.
Every dynasty, when faced with a beast tide, would receive help from martial cultivators of the sects. Yet this city seemed to have no such aid.
Strange. Very strange indeed.
At this moment, the cries of the terrified civilians rose into the sky, reaching Lin Fan’s ears.
Lin Fan hesitated. Facing such a massive tide of beasts, he doubted even he could handle it.
Especially that humanoid beast with eight tails and burning flames—Lin Fan knew that wouldn’t be easy to deal with.
It was like ants devouring an elephant. Even if he was a strong elephant, he couldn’t be sure of surviving among so many ants.
Although beast essence was somewhat useful to him now, the current situation wasn’t worth the risk. Charging into a tide like that would only result in being overwhelmed instantly.
Forget it. Pretend I didn’t see anything.
Lin Fan decided to turn away. This small empire had no connection to him, no reason to risk his life for them.
But after flying a short distance, he stopped.
The cries of the desperate civilians echoed in his ears. His gaze pierced through the void, revealing the faces of the people.
The civilians’ expressions of despair, the fearless stance of the city guards—all of it sank deep into his heart.
A city of tens of millions. If the beast tide broke through, no one would survive.
Looking at the scene before him, Lin Fan couldn’t help but recall the day his sect, the Holy Demon Sect, was destroyed. His fellow disciples had refused to flee upon hearing of the catastrophe, just like these city guards.
The civilians’ desperate faces reminded him of the final moments of the Holy Demon Sect—no help, no hope, just helplessness.
“Damn it…”
Lin Fan muttered a curse, then pulled out the chick from his bag.
“Cock-a-doodle-doo…”
As soon as the chick came out, it crowed again. This time, Lin Fan patted its head directly.
“Chick, no jokes. I know you’re not dumb. Seeing this, I want to save the people in this city. Are you in?” Lin Fan asked.
The chick paused its crowing, blinked its big, cute eyes at Lin Fan, then at the collapsing city, then at the beast tide.
“Cock-a-doodle-doo!” Suddenly, standing on Lin Fan’s shoulder, the chick raised one featherless wing, its eyes gleaming with determination. Then it crowed proudly, as if saying—charge, crush them all.
“Good. You’ve got guts.” Lin Fan laughed and turned back.
Even now, he wanted to make a grand entrance, one that the world would remember.
*Unseen Devil Art* activated.
*The Sword Canon* activated.
*Heaven’s Sword* activated.
*Dragon Emperor Domination* activated.
…
At this moment, Lin Fan unleashed everything. His triple-headed, six-armed demonic form appeared behind him, radiating terrifying black light. Sword intent tore through the void, forming a colossal sword swirling around him.
Battle enhancement—golden dragon coiled around his body from head to toe, shining with dazzling golden light.
…
“Look, a god…” At that moment, the civilians of Qingling Commandery pointed at the glowing sky and shouted.
Hope. They saw hope. When the waterways were cut off by beasts, they had already lost all hope. But in this moment, hope returned.
“Lord, what is that?” The aura in the sky covered the heavens, illuminating everything. Xiao Lie’s body trembled—not out of fear, but excitement.
“Is it a god?” Xiao Li Hai whispered. The light in the sky was blinding, making it impossible to see who it was.
Then, a dragon roar echoed through the heavens. In the astonished gazes of all, a golden dragon radiating boundless light descended from the sky, merging into the void.
At that moment, the light dimmed, and the figure in the sky became visible.
“Ahh… That’s a god, truly a god.” At the sight of the figure in the sky, the common people were ecstatic, kneeling to the ground in worship.
They knew martial cultivators, but when had they ever seen something like this?
The triple-headed, six-armed demonic form was terrifyingly majestic, making everyone shudder.
And that sword formed from pure sword intent seemed to stir the winds and clouds of heaven and earth.
Sacred, awe-inspiring, like a deity descending from the Nine Heavens.
Lin Fan was very satisfied with his appearance. Cultivation techniques weren’t just about power—they also needed a good visual impact.
He dared to say that the visual impact of these techniques was number one in Dongling Continent.
Xiao Li Hai trembled, then knelt on the ground, shouting desperately, “Lord, please save all the people of this city!”
Xiao Li Hai knew the figure in the sky was a martial cultivator, and an extremely powerful one. Whether Qingling Commandery would survive or not now depended entirely on this person’s will.
With all his remaining true energy, Xiao Li Hai’s roar echoed across the sky.
The desperate civilians inside the city also knelt and cried out, “God, please save us…”
“Save us…”
…
“Form…”
In an instant, the sky and earth changed. A voice, like it came from the heavens, shook everyone’s souls.
At that moment, something unbelievable happened.
The massive sword in the sky suddenly split—one became two, two became four… splitting endlessly.
The entire sky was filled with countless swords, as if covering the heavens, silently floating there.
Everyone on the ground was stunned.
It was a world of swords.
The city guards, at this moment, noticed their swords trembling violently in their hands, then suddenly breaking free of their control, flying into the sky.
“Lord, this… this…” Xiao Lie stared in shock, unable to speak.
“Buzz…”
At that moment, the entire Qingling Commandery trembled.
In every corner of the city, swords that had been resting quietly began to vibrate, then shot into the sky.
At that moment, Qingling became a world of swords. Everyone gazed in awe at the countless swords rising into the heavens.
