Lin Fan soared through the air toward the Sea of Buried Beasts. Initially, he had planned to crush every妖兽 along the way to increase the level of his *Blood Sea Demon Cultivation Technique*. However, to his confusion, the妖兽 seemed to have vanished entirely, leaving behind only a few weaklings.
In Lin Fan’s view, perhaps he had killed too many, and the beasts had recognized him as a deadly predator, choosing to hide instead.
But just then, deafening roars shook the heavens, and red light flickered in the distance, casting a hazy glow over the entire sky.
Lin Fan stared ahead, stunned.
This was actually a beast tide.
Lin Fan knew what a beast tide was. According to records in his sect, every dynasty faced such a tide every ten years, though the exact cause remained unknown.
Countless dynasties had been destroyed by these tides across the Dongling Continent, with human casualties reaching catastrophic levels. Yet compared to the vastness of the continent, such losses were considered trivial, and few truly cared.
Frowning, Lin Fan focused his gaze.
Normally, when a dynasty faced a beast tide, martial cultivators from sects would come to help defend the city. But this city seemed utterly abandoned.
Strange. Very strange indeed.
At that moment, the cries of the terrified civilians rose into the air, reaching Lin Fan’s ears.
He hesitated. Facing such a massive tide of beasts was beyond his capability.
Especially the humanoid beasts with eight tails and flaming bodies—those were definitely not easy opponents.
It was like ants swarming an elephant. Even if he was a strong, sturdy elephant, surviving such a swarm was doubtful.
Although妖兽 essence could benefit him now, the current situation wasn’t worth the risk. Charging into that ocean of beasts would only result in instant death.
Forget it. Pretend I didn’t see anything.
Lin Fan decided to turn away. This small empire had no connection to him; there was 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 those below.
The civilians’ expressions of despair, the fearless determination of the city guards—Lin Fan saw it all.
Looking down, he realized this was a city of tens of millions. If the beast tide broke through, no one would survive.
The sight stirred memories within him—recalling the day the Saint-Demon Sect was destroyed. His fellow disciples, upon hearing of the catastrophe, had refused to flee, choosing to face death like those city guards.
The civilians’ hopeless expressions reminded him of the final moments of the Saint-Demon Sect—no salvation, utterly helpless.
“Damn it…”
Lin Fan muttered a curse, then pulled out the chick from his bag.
“Cock-a-doodle-doo…”
The chick crowed as soon as it emerged, but Lin Fan immediately patted its head.
“Chicken, stop fooling around. I know you’re smart. Seeing this situation, I want to save the people in this city. Are you with me?” Lin Fan asked.
The chick blinked its big, innocent eyes at Lin Fan, then at the collapsing city, and finally at the beast tide.
“Cock-a-doodle-doo!” Suddenly, the chick stood on Lin Fan’s shoulder, stretched out its featherless wing, its eyes gleaming with determination. It raised its head and crowed again, as if saying, *Let’s go—crush them all!*
“Good. You’ve got guts.” Lin Fan laughed and turned back toward the city.
Even now, he wanted to make a grand entrance—one that the world would remember.
He activated the *Formless Heaven Devil Art*.
He activated the *Sword Canon*.
He activated the *Heavenly Sword*.
He activated the *Dragon Emperor’s Domination*.
…
At that moment, Lin Fan unleashed his full power. His three-headed, six-armed demonic form appeared behind him, radiating a terrifying black light. Sword intent tore through the void, forming a colossal blade that hovered beside him.
Battle-enhancing techniques surged—golden dragons coiled around his body, shining with brilliant golden light.
…
“Look, a god…” The people of Qingling County pointed at the glowing figure in the sky, shouting in awe.
Hope. They saw hope. When the waterways were cut off by the beasts, they had lost all hope. But in this moment, hope returned.
“Lord, what is that?” The aura in the sky was overwhelming, illuminating the heavens. Xiao Lie’s body trembled—not from fear, but from excitement.
“Is it a god?” Xiao Li Hai whispered. The figure in the sky was too bright to see clearly.
Then, a dragon’s roar echoed across the heavens. As everyone stared in shock, a golden dragon radiating boundless light descended from the sky, merging into the figure above.
The light dimmed, and the figure in the sky became visible.
“Ahh… That’s a god, truly a god!” The common people, seeing the figure in the sky, fell to their knees in excitement.
They knew of martial cultivators, but when had they ever seen such a sight?
The three-headed, six-armed demonic form was terrifyingly majestic, making everyone’s hearts race with fear.
And that sword formed from pure sword intent seemed to stir the very winds and clouds.
Sacred, awe-inspiring, like a celestial being descending from the heavens.
Lin Fan was quite satisfied with his appearance. Cultivation techniques weren’t just about power—they also needed to look impressive.
He could proudly say that his techniques were the most visually stunning in the entire Dongling Continent.
Xiao Li Hai trembled, then knelt on the ground, shouting, “Great Lord, please save the people of the entire city!”
Xiao Li Hai knew the figure above was a martial cultivator, and an extremely powerful one. Whether Qingling County would survive or not now depended entirely on this person’s will.
With all his remaining spiritual energy, Xiao Li Hai roared into the sky.
Meanwhile, the desperate civilians inside the city knelt and cried out, “O great god, 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… and so on.
The entire sky was filled with countless floating swords, as if covering the heavens, silently hovering.
Everyone below stared in shock.
It was a world of swords.
The city guards, at that moment, felt their own swords trembling in their hands before suddenly breaking free and flying into the sky.
“Great Lord, this… this…” Xiao Lie was so shocked he couldn’t speak.
“Buzz…”
At that moment, the entire Qingling County trembled.
In every corner of the city, swords that had been resting quietly began to vibrate, then shot into the air, joining the countless blades above.
At that moment, Qingling County became a world of swords. Everyone stared in disbelief at the swords rising into the sky.
