Chapter 1322 - 1322: Beast Tide

Undoubtedly, at this moment Zhao Yi's breakthrough is particularly advantageous to the entire situation.

He was previously at the Innate Emperor Realm Third Heaven, and now breaking through to the Life and Death Realm, Liu Zixuan's side has gained another top tier warrior.

If it were just Liu Zixuan and Sword Demon at the Life and Death Realm, together they would barely manage to handle a Unity Realm expert—perhaps only defend, without gaining much advantage.

But now, with Zhao Yi's breakthrough, if they indeed encounter a Unity Realm expert, and with various trump cards, they don't need to be afraid anymore.

Of course, this only applies if facing a single Unity Realm expert.

Watching Liu Zixuan's delighted expression, Zhao Yi grinned, "Thanks to Sword Demon senior's guidance yesterday on many matters concerning the Sword Technique, I've taken a leap into the Life and Death Realm."

"Your comprehension ability is quite high," Sword Demon waved his hand.

"No need for mutual compliments, we are all on the same side, and the boost in strength benefits all of us," Liu Zixuan smiled, "Now we can continue advancing."

"Yesterday it was mentioned that deep within the Beast Forest there are many Unity Realm experts; shall we head straight to the depths or take a detour?" Sword Demon asked.

Liu Zixuan raised his eyebrows, "Let's head to the depths of the Beast Forest. Although there are many Unity Realm experts, there's a ninety percent chance they're opposing each other, since it's unlikely for one sect to have two Unity Realm members. Given our combined strength, encountering a Unity Realm expert doesn't mean we lack the ability to fight."

"Moreover, venturing into the ruins is fraught with danger; if we take a detour, we'd be straying from our original purpose. It's better to forge ahead, as they say, fortune favors the brave!"

"Indeed, many opportunities come hand in hand with danger. Perhaps deep within the Beast Forest, there might be breakthrough opportunities!" Sword Demon laughed.

Xiao Hu clenched his fist, "Absolutely, seeing each of you breaking through, I want to quickly reach the Life and Death Realm. I've heard Nicholas is the most handsome and can also break through to Life and Death Realm; I must hurry, or he'll surely mock me when we meet next!"

"Nicholas is the most handsome? Do you have foreign friends?" Sword Demon wondered.

Liu Zixuan shook his head with a laugh, "It's Jiang Yunxuan, the eldest son of the Jiang family!"

Sword Demon cast an odd glance at Liu Zixuan, "Looks like you have a good relationship with someone from the Jiang family!"

Liu Zixuan laughed while walking toward the depths of the Beast Forest, "Indeed, the relationship with Jiang family is quite good, but Sword Demon senior with them..."

He could discern that Sword Demon seemingly had some connections with the Jiang family.

Sword Demon grinned, "I used to know Jiang Yifan's father. Funny enough, back then Jiang Yifan had to call me uncle, didn't expect that little fellow to grow so fast. Looking at your generation now, sometimes I really can't help but feel old!"

It was unexpected to realize that Sword Demon was from the same era as Jiang Long and the others.

After reminiscing for a while, they had already walked for half an hour and had entered the dense part of the forest.

"A lot of different auras." Liu Zixuan paused and frowned.

"Beast Forest, naturally has many species from the Ancient Times. They've been here for over ten thousand years; there must be some extremely powerful entities. We must be careful not just of martial artists but also some beast race creatures." Sword Demon said solemnly.

"Creatures existing over ten thousand years, one wonders if there are any from the Ancient Primordial Era." Xiao Hu said seriously, "If we truly encounter such beings, every one of them would give us headaches."

In modern times, especially in the environment where Liu Zixuan and the rest live daily, seeing one or two relatively rare and special species would certainly be astonishing, like the Qilin in far Lingxiu Village, a Divine Beast. Or the Sect Guardian Beast, Eight-headed Great Serpent, from Void Mountain Sect.

These beings in the outside world are rare indeed.

But in this Ancient Ruins, they speculate that such creatures may exist, and not just a few.

Though human martial artists or beast species rarely live for ten thousand years, some strange species breeding descendants certainly contain extremely formidable beings.

And beast species, despite lacking the diverse Cultivation Techniques of human martial artists, at a certain level, relying on their bloodline might be stronger than martial artists of the same realm.

Nature is always fair; granting humans the privilege to control the world will naturally see the emergence in some area of other species balancing humans.

Fortunately, this field only exists in the most remote areas, or it would return to the chaotic situation of the Ancient Times.

After walking a bit longer, they reached the central position of the Beast Forest. Suddenly, a clamor made them actually stop their steps.

"Boom!"

"Roar, boom!"

The thunderous sound made everyone alert and serious.

Sword Demon's figure flickered and soared into the sky, observing from above the trees for a moment before landing next to Liu Zixuan, "The sound seems to come from the northwest direction, but due to the dense forest, it's really hard to see the situation over there."

"But one thing is certain; there are definitely numerous beasts in that direction. Moreover, they seem to be headed towards us!"

As these words dropped, Luo Xi and the rest were immensely surprised!

A large group of beasts was coming toward them.

Forget Ancient Times beasts, even in the outside world, a herd of cattle or sheep rushing towards a few people is a troublesome scene indeed.

Liu Zixuan furrowed his brow, "Wait here for me a moment!"

After that, Liu Zixuan's figure pushed to the extreme, darting violently toward the northwest of the Beast Forest.

After a few minutes of mad sprinting, Liu Zixuan stopped under a large tree.

He leaped onto a branch, and blinked, immediately activating the Blazing Dragon Pupil X-ray Vision to look toward the sound's origin.

A look was surprising!

Three kilometers away, about hundreds to thousands of wild beasts were rushing in this direction, none seemed willing to stop, as if their eyes were red, chasing something.

Liu Zixuan carefully looked around and faintly spotted a silhouette, but due to the speed, he couldn't distinguish clearly.

It seemed, the beasts were chasing that mysterious presence.

He quickly jumped down from the tree and returned next to Luo Xi and the others.

He spoke solemnly, "Hundreds to thousands of beasts, very diverse in species, but definitely aggressive, carnivorous beasts. They're several kilometers away, yet given their speed, it'll take no more than ten minutes to reach here..."
