Chapter 902 The True Beast Tide Arrives (6K)

Deep within the Starry Forest.

Soul beasts of different species, cultivation levels, and even attributes gathered together, neatly assembled in a very small area.

Looking out, it was a dark, dense mass, with no end in sight.

A rough estimate suggests the number is at least in the millions.

Apart from the elite thousand-year and ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts, there were also many weak ten-year and hundred-year-old soul beasts mixed in.

Among them, several terrifying 100,000-year-old soul beasts stood proudly at the forefront of the soul beast horde.

They stood there quietly, exuding a profound and majestic aura.

Among them were some vicious individuals who exuded a murderous aura and were surrounded by the stench of blood.

The five ferocious beasts appeared simultaneously in front of the million-strong horde of soul beasts, all in human form.

"It ended too quickly."

Di Tian's expression was somewhat gloomy. He had started to deploy his subordinates the moment the fake beast tide appeared, but the battle lasted for less than half an hour.

The reason he was able to gather the beast tide so quickly was because he had assembled the soul beast army in the core area a year in advance and prepared various reserves.

Jade Swan, Brigitte, glanced at her army of soul beasts and said worriedly, "Di Tian, ​​isn't launching this beast tide a little too hastily? By now, the opportunity has been lost."

"No, this is just right." The Beast God Di Tian's voice was extremely calm. "After a fierce battle, Shrek Academy is exhausted."

"The human empire has just experienced a major war. The Sun and Moon Empire, which launched the war, completely halted its operations three days ago and entered a period of rest and recuperation."

"Therefore, now is the best time for us to send troops."

"This is a golden opportunity, a chance that won't come again. The Spirit Pagoda and the Soul-Spirit Technique are too dangerous."

"I also went to Heaven Dou City to witness that war in the human world. The combined power of the Sun Moon Empire's Soul Master Corps was terrifying; they could almost sweep away low- to mid-level Soul Masters. As a result, their lethality against Soul Beasts would be even greater."

"If we wait any longer, we'll really miss our chance."

"The Sun Moon Empire's offensive has stalled, most likely because they need time to alleviate resource pressures, just like we are short of food."

"Xingluo has already dispersed a large number of its Soul Master legions into the territory of the Sun Moon Empire and has not yet taken them back. The Soul Master forces of the Heavenly Soul Empire have also been almost exhausted. They are not capable of coming to Shrek's aid."

"Dragon Emperor Douluo retreated wounded, while Death God Douluo took up command of the Mingdou Mountains."

"Right now, Shrek, whose overall strength has dropped to an all-time low, is just an isolated city with no one to support them. If we miss this opportunity, it will be very difficult to conquer it again in the future."

Xiong Jun snorted coldly: "Who cares about all that? Let's fight!"

"Without the support of the other human empires on the continent, how could a small Shrek Empire possibly turn the world upside down?"

"Leave those two traitors in the far north to me; I can tear them apart by myself!"

The Demon King glanced at it but said nothing.

In his heart, he silently cursed Xiong Jun as an idiot.

The Demon King has always looked down on Xiong Jun, that brainless guy.

The three-headed Crimson Demon Hound, its face contorted with ferocity, asked, "Di Tian, ​​shall we set off now?"

The imperial auspicious beast Qiu'er has been sent to the edge of the true Lake of Life to prevent any trouble from arising.

Di Tian nodded slightly, his aura surging.

His majestic golden eyes swept over the million-strong army of soul beasts, who were fully prepared for battle. Suddenly, a thunderous dragon roar erupted from his mouth, carried by soul power, and reached the ears of every soul beast.

In an instant, a million soul beasts roared in unison, their roar shaking the heavens.

"Let's go! Flatten Shrektown!"

At this moment, Elder Xuan's gaze toward the sky involuntarily turned solemn.

The sky is getting dark, and it's getting dark very quickly.

A heavy, oppressive atmosphere was gradually pressing down on Shrek City.

Dark clouds loom over the city, threatening to crush it; nothing could be more fitting for the current situation.

In the far distance on the horizon, a massive black cloud was rapidly spreading towards Shrek City, like an invading army.

It was as if a giant curtain was slowly closing, as if it were about to shroud the entire world in darkness.

"What the hell?"

Qian Duoduo was still admiring the soul tools he found on the two level-nine soul masters, but his expression changed immediately when he saw the dark mass of people.

This celestial phenomenon is more dramatic and widespread than the changes caused by the two beast kings in the far north.

On the city walls, Shrek's defenders were returning to their respective positions.

During the previous beast tide, the academy repeatedly ordered that no artillery should be fired and that all orders should be followed. Unexpectedly, the orders changed not long after.

All personnel are on high alert.

The fewer the words, the bigger the story.

Everyone realized one thing: the beast tide was really coming!

Months ago, various defensive soul tools had already been deployed, arming the entire Shrek City like a metal hedgehog.

Despite Shrek City having been free from war for many years, the city's garrison remains highly skilled and its members perform their duties admirably.

Despite the pressure from the sky turning them all pale, they still gritted their teeth and persevered.

They might be transporting fixed-position soul-guided cannonballs and milk bottles, or they might be working in small groups to preheat large-scale war soul-guided devices.

Following the mass uprising in the Star Dou Great Forest nearly a century ago, Shrek City's walls were further fortified.

The entire city wall is 15 zhang high, 20 zhang thick, and more than 5 kilometers long, making it a truly colossal city.

Shrek's lord was named Shi Xing, a tall, middle-aged man with a weathered appearance, a square face, thick eyebrows, and large eyes.

Its robust body stands proudly atop the city wall, exuding a sense of grandeur.

He is forty-eight years old this year, which can be said to be the prime of his life.

He was nicknamed the Time Magician when he was studying at Shrek Academy.

Later, after he was promoted to a Title Douluo, his title became Time—Time Douluo became popular.

Three years ago, after the previous Lord of the city retired and returned to Shrek Academy to live out his days, Shi Xing took over his position.

Although he was called the city lord, he was actually in charge of the defense of the entire city.

At this moment, Shi Xing, the Time Douluo, stood on the city wall, staring at the distant dark clouds with a very ugly expression, and sweat was seeping from his hands.

Shi Xing placed his hands on the battlements, gazed into the distance, and revealed a bitter expression on his face.

How many years has it been since Shrek City has seen a war?

It must have been at least several decades, right?

But he won the lottery after only three years in office!

This is truly the jackpot!

He thought he had enough to brag about by cooperating with the elders in putting on a big show, but little did he know that the fake beast tide had just left and the real beast tide was about to arrive.

The Beast God Di Tian and the four ferocious beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest attacked together, followed by a million beasts. What a terrifying force this was!

Even the five guardians of the Sun Moon Empire would probably turn tail and run if faced with a beast tide of this scale, and would not have the courage to build a soul tool formation.
