Four directions, four waves of ferocious beasts, each wave consisting of thousands of beasts.

They encircled and attacked from the outside in, constantly shrinking the disciples' space to move around.

However, an ordinary disciple could at best hold back two ferocious beasts.

It should be noted that the disciples of Lingyuan Palace are considered minor geniuses even by outside standards, and it's not a problem for them to defeat opponents of one or two minor realms.

These are all the pinnacle of powerful cultivation techniques.

However, these ferocious beasts possess absurd physical strength, and since they lack spirit and soul, they are extremely difficult to deal with.

Faced with the beast tide, everyone could only continue to resist stubbornly.

Some outstanding disciples and elite disciples at the peak might be able to defeat ten opponents single-handedly.

Only those at Jian Liuli's level can move freely through the beast tide. However, those at his level all have companions to look after, so no one dares to ignore the beast tide.

Each of the ferocious beasts lacked intelligence and charged forward fearlessly, unafraid of death.

There are Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, and Nascent Soul stages, but Core Formation is more common.

Some disciples from the peaks even joined forces and used combined sword formations, but they always felt that they could not kill all the ferocious beasts. Moreover, every now and then, several Nascent Soul ferocious beasts would charge and break the formation.

For a time, it seemed like they had managed to hold off the attack, but in reality, quite a few disciples were forced to be eliminated.

East direction...

The majority of the resistance here is being carried out by disciples of Thousand Thunder Peak, while the other peaks are fighting off ferocious beasts of various levels in small teams of three.

Under the leadership of Lei Tang, a renowned genius.

Teams of three or three hunt Nascent Soul cultivators for Nascent Soul beasts, Foundation Establishment cultivators hunt Foundation Establishment beasts, and Core Formation cultivators hunt Core Formation beasts.

Teams of three would lock onto their target amidst the horde of ferocious beasts, hunt them down together, and then immediately move on to the next target, maximizing efficiency.

Lei Tang, on the other hand, led a team by himself, proudly making his way in and out of the horde of ferocious beasts three times.

The turbulent spiritual energy in the air and the dark clouds in the sky did not frighten the ferocious beasts in the slightest.

Even as the ferocious beasts fell before their eyes, they charged forward fearlessly.

They've been here since early this morning, and they've retreated several hundred meters since they started resisting.

"Brother Lei, we can't hold on any longer! Someone else has exhausted their spiritual energy. We need to retreat another hundred meters!"

Faced with so many ferocious beasts rushing forward one after another, Lei Tang's face was bulging with veins.

His rage transformed into countless bolts of lightning that bombarded the ferocious beast.

It killed several ferocious beasts with a single blow, but was quickly replaced by new ones.

A sense of helplessness washed over him for the first time.

Even he, who considered himself a genius, felt somewhat powerless in the face of this horde of ferocious beasts.

Finally, with a helpless sigh: "Retreat!"

He now knows that ferocious beast tides have appeared in all four directions—east, west, south, and north—and there is no one left to provide support, because other areas still need people to block them.

If... if those legendary bullies could come, perhaps he would still have a chance to resolve the beast tide in the east, and then he could provide support to other directions.

Everyone realized that this beast tide was a test for the Palace Master.

The only thing we can do now is preserve everyone's spiritual power and reduce the number of people eliminated by the ferocious beasts; the only way is to drag them down to their deaths.

Just as he was busy killing ferocious beasts to cover the retreat of his men, a purple-haired girl suddenly appeared beside him.

Looking at her relaxed expression, it seemed she hadn't yet realized the seriousness of the situation.

However, she looks somewhat familiar. I didn't see her during the battle. Did she just arrive?

"Hey, stop spacing out. If you have spiritual energy, cover their retreat. If not, don't stay here. It's dangerous."

The purple-haired girl was none other than Shan Shan, who had arrived at Diefang.

Looking at the horde of ferocious beasts, she vaguely recalled the time when she was besieged by monsters in the sinkhole.

Um……

She only came to her senses when she heard someone call her name.

Lei Tang's shouts also attracted the attention of others.

When some of them saw Diefang, they instantly became excited!

"It's her! The One Thought, Myriad Swords, Thousand Transformations True Monarch! We're saved!"

Lei Tang and Die Fang: ...What True Lord?

Some of those who had been beaten and knew how terrifying the purple-haired girl was excitedly let out ape-like cries, their excitement bordering on childlike wonder.

Western position...

This place is even worse than the eastern location.

Because the most powerful person here is the man who told his disciples to run first, who withstood Xiao Feng's punch, but was then instantly killed by Die Fang.

The others were just ordinary disciples.

There are only a handful of Nascent Soul cultivators.

However, there are several Core Formation cultivators who, when combined, can use formations comparable to those of Nascent Soul cultivators.

In addition, there are also disciples from the Formation Peak here.

Everyone was forced to retreat more than a kilometer.

The disciples of the Formation Peak also played a significant role.

They set up numerous formations in advance along the direction the ferocious beast was heading, ranging from small mazes to large killing formations.

Without them, we would probably have retreated several thousand meters further.

"Brother, the ferocious beasts are pressing in again."

One person stepped forward and gave instructions: "Disciples of the Formation Peak, retreat first. Disciples of the other peaks, provide cover and hold out for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn to give the disciples of the Formation Peak time to set up the formation!"

However, the disciples of Zhenfeng who were evacuating were stunned the next moment.

A figure slowly appeared in the distance, rapidly approaching this direction.

After everyone saw clearly... it was their Holy Maiden.

Upon seeing the Holy Maiden arrive, the disciples of the Array Peak immediately declared they would not retreat and began constructing an array on the spot.

The original plan was to retreat 200 meters, but we have only retreated 50 meters so far.

The disciples of Zhenfeng immediately shouted to the disciples in front, "Hold on, it's time to counterattack! The Holy Maiden is here!"

They all seemed to have been injected with adrenaline, their fighting power seemingly doubling.

An absolute pillar of strength and an absolute core of the team has arrived!

South...

This is the direction led by Jian Liuli.

The situation here is similar to that in the east.

Because of Jian Liuli's presence, they were able to withstand the beast tide.

Jian Liuli seemed devoid of emotion, repeating the same action over and over.

He raised his sword and swung it down.

Just like the move that Wenxin used to defeat her.

She wanted to try it out and see if practicing the release and use of sword intent in this way would strengthen the sword intent.

Although she didn't feel any change, it didn't stop her from continuing to learn.

Each time he raises his hand, it is a serious strike, sure to take the life of a Nascent Soul beast.

However, for others, although the number of Nascent Soul beasts has been decreasing, it always feels like they keep emerging.

Many people who were actually facing Core Formation level ferocious beasts were eliminated by suddenly appearing Nascent Soul level ferocious beasts.

However, some people were only seriously injured, and a group of disciples from the Medicine Peak kept giving them pills.
