Purple Mist Dao Master-Chapter 824 - 531: The Fall of Nations! Overlord Down!

"Snatching the BOSS?"

Yan Chuan watched as Sheng Xuan snatched the kill of the Black Crowned Golden Eagle, momentarily feeling as if he were in a past life online game 'snatching monsters' and 'snatching the BOSS'.

He smiled.

Of course, in reality, this doesn't happen. Yan Chuan knew that Sheng Xuan was most likely tormented by the Black Crowned Golden Eagle and now wanted to kill it himself to vent his anger.

Yan Chuan understood.

Unbeknownst to him—

[Slain Innate Fourteenth Layer Third-Rank Beast King Black Crowned Golden Eagle, total lifespan six hundred five, remaining three hundred forty-two years, absorbed completely]

...

"Huh?"

"The Third-Rank Beast King actually has a total lifespan of six hundred?"

"Isn't the First-Rank and Second-Rank only around three hundred?"

The lifespan of the Third-Rank Beast King is actually so much more than the First and Second Rank?

Sheng Xuan was pleasantly surprised.

With these three hundred forty-two years of life span, plus his previous savings, he could completely push his cultivation up another level, so fighting with Yan Chuan for it was not in vain!

But now was not the time to ponder lifespan and upgrades. Sheng Xuan sheathed his sword and bowed to Yan Chuan: "Thank you, City Lord Yan, for your lifesaving grace!"

Even without Yan Chuan, he could have escaped from the life-and-death struggle, but the losses would have been heavy, and Yong Mountain City would have perished, with its foundation destroyed and living creatures suffering.

Yan Chuan's timely arrival and assistance came just right.

Sheng Xuan was grateful: "I know the City Lord's intention, let this Yong Mountain City be entrusted to City Lord Yan, I owe the City Lord a life, in the future, if there are commands, I will not hesitate to go through fire and water!"

Sheng Xuan was straightforward!

Sheng Xuan was shrewd!

He handed over the now burdensome Yong Mountain City to Yan Chuan, repaying the first grace of Yan Chuan's rescue, while avoiding direct conflict with Yan Chuan, and took the opportunity to shed a big burden, achieving several goals at once.

As for the second grace of Yan Chuan's life-saving, that can only be repaid in the future as the situation unfolds.

"If the surrounding alien beasts do not retreat, I will kill until they are all gone!"

Sheng Xuan raised his sword and entered the Beast Tide.

Now he kills for Yan Chuan, to repay the kindness.

Unfortunately, his blade was too sharp, and his force was too fierce, many of the non-innate alien beasts had their lifespan erased under his blade, with no time to absorb.

...

"Not just the Tan Valley Realm!"

"Almost all alien beasts in the Mo Yin Continent have rioted and mutated, attacking cities and feeding on humans, their strength greatly enhanced, be it speed, reaction, or body and physique, all comprehensively strengthened, almost on par with warriors of the same level!"

"It's too bizarre!"

"Originally, alien beasts did not understand martial arts, relying solely on [Bloodline Secret Technique], their means were limited, and their achievements were generally mediocre, far behind martial artists of the same level. But now they have become almost the top combat power of the same rank!"

"This 'Heavenly Calamity' is more complicated than we thought!"

...

For several consecutive days, Yan Chuan, leading the innate and numerous Divine Generals, swept from city to city in the Tan Valley Realm, slaughtering an unknown number of alien beasts, each city defending itself, and the situation gradually stabilized.

During this period.

Yan Chuan had much interaction with the alien beasts and noticed their changes.

Tan Yunqing obtained more detailed intelligence from the court, which had conducted more comprehensive investigations into the 'Heavenly Calamity' and 'Beast Tide'.

The 'Heavenly Calamity' gradually receded.

The 'Beast Tide' became increasingly intense.

Alien beasts strengthened comprehensively, emerging from deep mountains, large swamps, and even water bodies, attacking humans and assaulting cities.

Many regions barely endured the 'Heavenly Calamity' or survived it by luck. Who would have thought the unexpected eruption of the 'Beast Tide' would be even more terrifying than the 'Heavenly Calamity'? Many cities' arrays could resist the 'Heavenly Calamity' but couldn't withstand the unending 'Beast Tide', resulting in conquered and slaughtered cities being much more numerous than those hit by the 'Heavenly Calamity'!

Mountains and seas!

Completely in chaos!

"Countless alien beasts!"

"Original alien beasts, after the 'Heavenly Calamity', saw tremendous enhancements in both intelligence and strength, yet became increasingly frenzied, combative, and violent."

"Ordinary beasts in the mountains and waters died in huge numbers due to the 'Heavenly Calamity', but almost ninety-nine percent of the survivors mutated into low-level alien beasts with low intelligence!"

"The leaders of the 'Beast Tide' are often highly intelligent high-rank alien beasts, while the main forces are these low-level alien beasts that mutated from ordinary beasts post-'Heavenly Calamity'."

"The 'Beast Tide' rolls on, with even King Cities being breached, alien beasts claiming cities, enslaving, and herding humans as their kings!"

The more Tan Yunqing learned from the court, the more shocked he became. The vast Mo Yin Continent's situation truly changed daily. From the 'Heavenly Calamity' on the fourth of July, to the almost simultaneous eruption of the 'Beast Tide' on the seventh of July, the original order of Mo Yin Continent was on the brink of collapse, perhaps already shattered.

"Inland!"

"The inland is relatively better, although there are many beasts in the mountains and waters, high-rank alien beasts are scarce, the real threat comes from the ocean." Tan Yunqing's face was solemn.

Mo Yin Continent's Four Oceans have always been much more mysterious than the Four Continents, with many unexplored mysterious sea areas, countless marine creatures, monsters, and alien beasts, hard to tally.

After the 'Heavenly Calamity'.

The 'Beast Tide' struck.

The sea's beasts also mutated, infinite in number, roaring in groups, stirring up trouble, in four short days, from the seventh to the tenth of July, almost all island nations in the Four Oceans were breached—

"Including Nanyang's 'Flying Snow Country', Beiyang's 'Chenyi Country', and Dongyang's 'Puzang Country' and 'Shadow Demon Country'!"

Yan Chuan was finally shocked when he heard this: "A First-class Kingdom?"

He had made many friends in 'Heavenly Ladder City' and had a general understanding of the situation of the entire Mo Yin region, which consisted of a total of 3000 King Cities and 206 kingdoms.

Among them, there were 160 Third-class Kingdoms like Sitting Mountain Country, 33 Second-class Kingdoms like Wangyou Country and Black Sand Country, and 13 First-class Kingdoms like Zhanlan Country, including 'Flying Snow Country' of Nanyang, 'Chenyi Country' of Northern Ocean, and 'Puzang Country' and 'Shadow Demon Country' of Eastern Ocean!

There are only 13 First-class Kingdoms in the entire Mo Yin region, yet four of them were broken during the 'Beast Tide' following the 'Heavenly Calamity'?

Yan Chuan could not imagine.

Tan Yunqing also could not imagine: "The performance of the 'Four Oceans' during the 'Beast Tide' is hard to imagine how terrifying it really was, but the four First-class Kingdoms could not withstand it. Their borders were breached, lands occupied, and the high levels of the four countries were forced to migrate inland, fleeing with heavy casualties, even some Dominators fell!"

First Realm Postnatal!

Second Realm Innate!

Third Realm War God!

Fourth Realm Dominator!

The Great Expert of the Fourth Realm is referred to as 'Dominator,' an extraordinary existence that is crucial across a region.

"A First-class Kingdom was broken!"

"Fourth Realm Dominator fell?"

Yan Chuan's breath caught.

By this point, he fully understood what kind of epic disaster this really was!

...

The 'Heavenly Fire' has stopped!

The 'Heavenly Calamity' has stopped!

Yan Chuan looked up at the sky, seeing the flowing fire dissipate, no more 'Heavenly Fire' falling, and the earth trembling had also ceased at this moment.

July 12.

Universal celebration.

The 'Heavenly Calamity' in Tan Valley Realm, which lasted nearly eight days and nine nights, finally calmed down, a quarter of an hour later than Jinze Region, yet more than a quarter of an hour earlier than Lanhua Region.

After nine consecutive days of the ravaging 'Heavenly Fire and Earth Fire,' Tan Valley Realm was already scarred and riddled with holes, with countless lands and homes destroyed, and wildfires still ravaging and spreading. Moreover, countless Tan Valley Realm citizens died from the dual disasters of 'Heavenly Calamity' and 'Beast Tide.'

Conservatively estimated, among the more than ten million people in Tan Valley Realm, at least thirty percent were killed or injured in just nine days. This was largely due to the majority of the population being concentrated in seventeen cities, which were initially contending for population for the royal city qualification competition a year and a half later, inadvertently saving many tribes originally supposed to be outside the cities amid this 'Heavenly Calamity' and 'Beast Tide.'

However—

"Among the seventeen cities in Tan Valley Realm, the three cities, Red Valley, Pu Qiong, and Xiao Ying, were destroyed by the 'Heavenly Calamity,' with both 'Heavenly Fire and Earth Fire' breaching the array, turning the cities into purgatories with less than one in a hundred surviving."

"Furthermore, Wanhe and Kong Shu were breached by the 'Beast Tide,' with millions butchered and consumed, dyeing the Twin Cities in blood with white bones everywhere!"

Ban Xianfu reported to Yan Chuan on the condition of the seventeenth cities in Tan Valley Realm. Among them, Red Valley, Pu Qiong, Xiao Ying, Wanhe, and Kong Shu were almost left barren and deserted, with a total of more than two hundred thousand people across five cities, ultimately leaving less than three thousand survivors!

Tragic, tragic, tragic!

In merely nine days, it was brutally dreadful.

On Yan Chuan's side, there were only a dozen Innate individuals. No matter how hard they tried, they were still too late, still unable to fully attend to everything, still losing five cities.

Moreover, in the future, they will lose even more.

Or rather.

Yan Chuan and others have already decided to actively abandon more cities—

"Even though the 'Heavenly Calamity' has subsided, the 'Beast Tide' continues. Our manpower is limited, and our Essence Stones too. Faced with waves of 'Beast Tide,' even with only twelve remaining cities, it's still challenging to cover all grounds, thus abandoning is the only option."

"Guangming."

"Yong Mountain."

"Mengsha."

"Now that the 'Heavenly Calamity' has subsided, immediately organize manpower to migrate populations from the remaining nine cities to the three cities. Then control the food supply and recruit manpower to quickly construct a new royal city on the ruins of the royal city in the center of the three cities."

Judging by the current situation, the 'Beast Tide' is likely to become normalized, and the offense and defense against Alien Beasts will be the central theme for Tan Valley Realm and the entire Mo Yin region.

In this case, future planning for Tan Valley Realm must be adapted accordingly.

Will the 'Heavenly Calamity' return?

It's uncertain.

But after the nine-day and eight-night terror of 'Heavenly Fire and Earth Fire,' Tan Valley Realm citizens are already frightened to death, no longer daring to live outside or even in small cities. Population concentration is the people's will.

After all, the 'Heavenly Calamity' is over.

But the 'Beast Tide' continues. Objectively speaking, concentrating Tan Valley Realm's population into a few cities to gather more forces to defend fewer cities is inevitable.

Yan Chuan, along with Tan Yunqing, Jiang Bianliu, and others, are planning for Tan Valley Realm's future, setting 'Tan Valley Royal City' as the 'Main City,' with Guangming, Yong Mountain, and Mengsha as 'Guard Cities.' They will integrate the entire Tan Valley Realm population into these 'one main three guard' four cities, and then step by step cultivate more Martial Artists and Divine Generals, gradually reclaiming more territories and constructing more cities from Alien Beast-occupied areas.

"Expand!"

"Build cities!"

"Build cities!"

"Expand!"

Only by stabilizing the rear and building solid cities can we withstand the impacts and counterattacks of the 'Beast Tide.'

Future!

Will surely be difficult!
