Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Steel of the Heart

On the turbulent sea

The giant octopus, which was originally menacing and terrifying at first glance, has now been dismembered into several pieces.

Numerous tentacles were scattered throughout the ocean.

The enormous flying devil shark with a pair of fleshy wings had its two wings severed at the root, and its head was cut off more than halfway from its body, clearly indicating that it was beyond dead.

Of course, the most miserable one was the strange fish. Most of its scales were knocked off and shattered, and most of its sharp teeth were also knocked off.

The flesh was mashed into a pulp, and at least two-thirds of the bones were broken. This strange fish was smashed to death by Xiang Bei and the red-clad councilor.

The war has now ended.

After the three king-level monsters were killed one after another, the entire beast tide could no longer be maintained.

The first to collapse and flee were the lord-level monsters.

Compared to the beast generals and soldiers who can only serve as cannon fodder, the lord-level monsters are much more intelligent and have already scattered and fled when they sensed that things were not going well.

Finally, the sea monsters, no longer driven by their hordes, dispersed and receded.

The side that discovered the monster suffered heavy losses in this battle.

Not only were all three king-level monsters killed, but of the nearly one hundred lord-level monsters, less than twenty escaped.

As for the massive army of sea monsters, needless to say, their corpses almost completely filled the beach, and it was impossible to count exactly how many had died.

Of course, the human defenders also paid an extremely heavy price.

Leaving aside the consumption and losses of various weapons at the war base.

The human race had 34 War God-level powerhouses in the early stages of the war, with 12 more joining later, for a total of 46 War Gods.

After the battle, the four war god-level powerhouses perished, and their bodies were not even preserved.

Seven war gods were seriously injured, three of whom had missing limbs, and two of whom were seriously injured and unconscious, almost beaten to death.

They need precious treasures such as the Water of Life to help save their lives and heal their injuries.

The remaining War God-level powerhouses were all injured.

The casualties were highest among the ordinary soldiers guarding the war base.

They were fighting against a vast, almost boundless tide of sea monsters.

Several times, hordes of sea monsters climbed onto the base's walls, only to be repelled by the brave and fearless soldiers who risked their lives to keep them at bay.

In this battle alone, more than ten thousand soldiers were killed, and countless others were wounded, some seriously and some lightly. Of these, at least several thousand, even if they had survived, would have been left with incurable injuries that would have followed them for life.

This is the cruelty of war!

Faced with the invasion of the beast tide, in order to protect the ordinary people in the base city, they could only fight back with their own flesh and blood.

"Damn it, we'll wipe these bastards out of the water sooner or later!" The warrior wielding the battle axe, his entire body wrapped in bandages with one arm hanging down in front of his chest, said angrily.

The gaunt war god who had been by his side was nowhere to be seen.

The gaunt war god, relying on his agility, held off three lord-level monsters single-handedly, but was ultimately ambushed by another jellyfish-type monster lord and lost his life at sea.

Although the body was recovered, it could never open its eyes again.

"Sooner or later, humanity will stand at the pinnacle of the world, whether on Earth, in the universe, or..."

Xiang Bei also stood on the city wall, watching the soldiers cleaning up the battlefield in the distance, but his thoughts were much more distant.

He knew very well that this beast tide, which was beyond level one, was already a terrible disaster for people.

However, the Earth will face even more terrifying disasters in the future.

Golden Horned Beast!

An invasion by space explorers!

The arrival of an immortal-level powerhouse!

and many more……

Only those with sufficient strength can cope with numerous disasters.

Xiang Bei felt an urgency and a desire for greater power!

He knew, of course, that even without him, the original protagonist of this world, the transcendent Lord Luo, would have risen to power and led humanity to its peak.

But he dared not gamble; he dared not gamble that Lord Luo would be able to protect his family from disaster when it struck!

He has family, parents, grandfather, sister, brothers, sisters, uncles, and friends!

He dared not entrust the safety of his family to someone he had never met or known before.

After all, if Luo Feng really could sweep everything away...

During the Golden Horned Beast Crisis and the Noran Mountain Crisis, fewer people would have died on Earth!

The Golden Horned Beast's calamity alone resulted in all the base cities around the world suffering retaliatory attacks, not to mention the war bases and their own base cities that were instantly wiped out by the Golden Horned Beast's devouring.

After the beast tide ended, Xiang Bei did not linger at the war base, as there were still many matters to be dealt with.

The base needs to be repaired and its defensive forces redeployed, and the wounded soldiers also need medical treatment.

There was nothing more that Xiang Bei and the others could do to help them here.

Moreover, all of Xiang family's war gods were mobilized for this battle, and now everyone is injured.

The old man is in good condition. As a peak war god, he is powerful enough to withstand the attacks of several lord-level monsters on his own and only suffer minor injuries.

But Uncle Xiangbei and his father were not so relaxed.

Both are newly promoted War Gods, and are relatively weak at this level.

Xiang Jiang fought a low-level lord-class monster and was not able to kill it, but his injuries were not too serious.

However, Xiang Bei's father, Xiang Hu, was not in good condition. He was first seriously injured by a mid-level lord-level monster fish, and then he had no time to rest before being thrown back into battle.

He was injured in the battle and is now hospitalized. He will need at least three to four months to fully recover.

In fact, even Xiang Bei himself was bound to get injured when he fought against a King-level monster. However, his vitality was stronger and his recovery speed was faster, so it was not noticeable.

Fortunately, although everyone was injured, at least everyone was still alive and well.

Early next morning

Xiang Bei had just finished his morning meditation when he received a call from the Southeast Military Region.

The person making the call was Li Dawei, who had been busy all night without rest.

"Brother Xiang, we owe you a lot for your help during this beast tide. Otherwise, my Southeast Military Region would have suffered even greater losses." Li Dawei forced a smile, but his tone still revealed deep exhaustion.

"Commander Li, you flatter me. I am also a member of the Xia Kingdom, and this is just my duty. I hope you won't blame me for being late," Xiang Bei said in a deep voice.

"Not at all, young brother, your timely assistance from thousands of miles away is deeply appreciated by the Southeast region," Li Dawei quickly replied.

Xiang Bei, who was originally in Australia, rushed back to the Kyoto base city to support the battlefield after receiving the notification. Li Dawei was naturally grateful.
