Boom!

With thirty-six enormous four-colored fire dragons blazing a path ahead, Wei Yang’s group shot through the air like streaks of light.

Several hundred meters to their flank was Hun Yu’s party. Their group hadn’t expended much Dou Qi from beginning to end, maintaining their strength. At this moment, they too went all out, unleashing their full power in a furious sprint.

Given their own solid strength, their breakthrough speed wasn’t far behind. Not too far behind them came the members of the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan.

At the forefront was a man with multicolored pupils—Jiu Feng. He led the charge, while behind him, many powerful experts of the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan tightly guarded his back. Among them was Feng Qing’er.

Though her cultivation was only at the peak of Nine-Star Dou Zun, not the strongest among them, with every wave of her hand, streaks of faint golden energy light shot forward like blades. Each strike carried a subtle bloodline pressure, giving her attacks a formidable edge.

Further behind the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan, several other groups also followed in pursuit. These people all possessed impressive strength, and judging by their movements, they clearly had a deep understanding of this beast tide.

Because of that, their overall condition was well preserved—they hadn’t wasted much power in their earlier advances. Now, all of them were sprinting at full speed, deliberately drawing closer to Wei Yang’s group.

"Mr. Wei, those who can reach this point are all quite strong. Why don’t we move a bit closer together? That way, we can rely on each other and lessen our energy consumption."

Hun Yu’s face still carried that gentle smile. Yet under the reflection of the thick, scarlet blood slurry and scattered corpses around him, that smile appeared disturbingly sinister. He shouted this across the battlefield toward Wei Yang, who was several hundred meters away.

"What, you still planning to sell me out?" Wei Yang’s lips curved into a faint, mocking smile.

"Mr. Wei, you jest. How would I dare harbor such thoughts?" Hun Yu gave a soft, helpless chuckle and shook his head.

"Those people earlier lacked the strength but still tried to seize the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree. They let greed cloud their reason. Their deaths were nothing but self-inflicted—they can’t blame anyone else, nor do they deserve pity. Don’t you agree, Mr. Wei?"

Wei Yang neither confirmed nor denied, too lazy to reply.

Hun Yu didn’t seem to mind. He showed no trace of anger and continued to advance, gradually leading his group closer to Wei Yang’s side. The people following behind him immediately mirrored his movements.

When they reached about a hundred meters away—just outside the range of the fire dragons’ attacks—they finally slowed down and maintained that distance, moving forward side by side. This way, both sides felt somewhat relieved.

At least, each group now had one flank that was relatively safe. Unless one side was completely annihilated, the fierce beasts wouldn’t be able to break through from that direction. Wei Yang didn’t object to this arrangement.

After all, if it made things easier, he had no reason to oppose it.

"We’ve already pushed deep into the beast tide. I wonder if there are even stronger beasts waiting ahead."

Xiao Yan stepped forward slightly, standing a short distance behind Wei Yang. Controlling a purple-brown fire dragon to guard one side of their formation, he lifted his head and gazed into the distance.

At the far end of their vision, the crimson wave of beasts seemed to be thinning. That might be the end of the beast tide—but whether or not they would encounter some extremely formidable beasts there was still uncertain.

Along the way, they had encountered many beasts, but the strongest they had seen so far were only around the level of a Six-Star Dou Zun. Nothing beyond that had appeared. Yet, while individual strength wasn’t terrifying, sheer numbers were another story.

The sheer mass of beasts was horrifying beyond measure.

During their journey, they had casually collected quite a number of Rank 8 magic cores from Dou Zun-level beasts. As for the Rank 7 ones from Dou Zong-level beasts, they couldn’t even be bothered to pick them up—there were simply too many.

Roar~

Just as Xiao Yan spoke, ferocious beastly roars suddenly erupted again from far behind them. At the sound, everyone understood what it meant, and a quiet sigh escaped their hearts.

"Those guys in the rear... all wiped out already?" Xiao Yan murmured.

The few of them exchanged glances, silent.

Among those who had fallen, there had been at least dozens of Dou Zun experts. But in this beast tide, that number was nothing at all. No matter how fiercely they resisted, it was like trying to stop a flood with bare hands.

They couldn’t even hold on for ten minutes before being completely swallowed by the sea of beasts. All of them had died for the same reason—for the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree, for that faint and illusory chance at becoming a Saint.

Sigh~

Wei Yang exhaled softly and shook his head. Those people didn’t deserve much sympathy. Everyone had to take responsibility for their own choices.

Since they had chosen to come to the Ancient Wasteland Region and wade into these treacherous waters, they should have been prepared for such an end.

"Everyone, get ready. We’ll pick up the pace. We must break through this beast tide before the beasts behind us catch up!" Wei Yang said in a deep voice.

"Understood." Everyone nodded firmly, gathering their Dou Qi in a surge, readying themselves for the final dash forward.

Once those beasts from the rear caught up, their pressure would skyrocket. Even someone as strong as Wei Yang couldn’t guarantee protecting everyone within such an endless beast tide. When that time came, casualties would likely be unavoidable.

Therefore, they had to accelerate their advance and break through before the beast tide from behind caught up. At this moment, Wei Yang also began to take things seriously. The Dou Qi within his body surged violently as he increased his output. Instantly—

Roar~

The nine black-flame dragons charging at the very front erupted with even greater power, their might soaring once more. They burned through the void itself, roaring as they pressed forward.

"Go!"

"Xun’er, Brother Qingyang, I’ll head up front to help Brother Wei clear the way. I’ll leave the protection of the left flank to you two!" Xiao Yan shouted.

"Alright." Gu Qingyang and Gu Xun’er nodded in response.

Their figures flickered and appeared beside Xiao Yan, taking over his position. The rest of the group also tightened their formation, arranging themselves into a sharp triangular wedge.

"Sea Flipping Seal!"

Gu Qingyang’s hands moved like lightning, slamming out hundreds of palm imprints. Each imprint tore through the air with a shriek, blasting away the hundreds of charging beasts on their left flank in an instant.

At the same time, Medusa, Gu Xun’er, Yun Yun, and the others no longer held back. They unleashed their full power together, torrents of overwhelming Dou Qi bursting forth and completely wiping out every beast within a hundred-meter radius.

On the right flank, Hun Yu and his group, seeing this, also began to attack with full force.

"Everyone, stop holding back! Break through the beast tide as fast as you can!" Hun Yu shouted toward Jiu Feng and the others behind him.

"Understood!" Jiu Feng’s multicolored pupils flashed with brilliance as he nodded sharply.

Roar~

With thirty-six fire dragons blazing a path ahead, the breakthrough speed of Wei Yang’s group suddenly skyrocketed. In the blink of an eye, they had already surged forward nearly a thousand meters.

Hun Yu and Jiu Feng refused to be outdone and stayed tightly on Wei Yang’s right flank, refusing to fall behind even half a step.

The remaining people now were all extremely powerful.

With such combined might focused on breaking through, not a single beast could stand in their way. Of course, such all-out attacks of Dou Qi and Heavenly Flame came at a steep cost in energy consumption. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

However, for these people—who had long been mentally and physically prepared—this level of expenditure was far from unmanageable.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

With their full power unleashed, not a single beast could enter within a hundred meters of them. The violent flood of Dou Qi ravaged the battlefield, filling the air with jagged cracks in space itself.

Any beast that dared to step within their range was instantly shredded to pieces.

"Brother Wei, can you sense how much farther this beast tide stretches? At this rate, our energy might not hold out much longer!" Xiao Yan shouted while controlling his purple-brown fire dragon—both helping clear the way and guarding Wei Yang’s flank so that the latter wouldn’t be distracted.

Although they could endure this kind of exertion for a short time, continuing endlessly without seeing an end was not a viable option.

"Almost there. At our current speed, another ten minutes should do it!" Wei Yang said, still controlling the nine fire dragons at the forefront. He glanced up toward the horizon and added, "Everyone, hold on a bit longer!"

"Ten minutes, huh?" Xiao Yan’s brows relaxed, and he nodded with a faint smile. Hearing this, everyone behind them felt their spirits lift.

Ten minutes.

Finally, this damn beast tide was almost over. At once, they silently pushed themselves harder, unleashing attacks with even greater intensity. Against the endless tide of beasts, their small group was no more than specks of dust insignificant, almost laughably small.

From high above, looking down, only the thirty-six four-colored fire dragons stood out, streaking vividly through the vast, endless ocean of beasts.
