Celestial Refining Divine Scripture

Beast tide!

Thousands of cultivators instantly panicked.

The long street was thrown into chaos.

"Beast tide? Damn it, how could there be a beast tide here?"

"This is the treasure land of Black Fire Immortal Mountain, who would dare be so bold?"

"Hundreds of immortal beasts, Four Spirits Town can’t hold out."

"We’re doomed, I knew I shouldn’t have come."

...

"Silence!"

A thunderous roar crashed down from the heavens, slamming into the crowd, making the panicked cultivators all look up into the air.

"It’s him."

"That’s Xu Yang."

"He’s guarding this place!"

Xu Yang stood overhead, looking down at the crowd below and said in a deep voice, "It’s just a few hundred immortal beasts, what are you panicking for?"

"Where are the experts from all the major powers?"

As his words fell.

Several figures shot out like arrows.

The beast tide had erupted out of nowhere, catching everyone by surprise.

But there was no shortage of top experts from the major powers here today.

The Ye Family, the Ming Family, Flame Dragon Mountain and so on.

Leading the charge were experts from the five main powers, five Late Stage Celestial Immortals.

After them, a host of Middle and Early Stage Celestial Immortals followed.

"Plus, there’s Miss Liou from Ice and Snow Immortal Palace, her cultivation is Late Stage Celestial Immortal, she’s incredibly strong."

"And, my second and senior brothers are both Late Stage Celestial Immortals, all of them are present."

"Just these immortal beasts, what is there to fear?"

No need for those cultivators to even lend a hand.

"Follow me, kill the enemy!"

With a command, Xu Yang turned and dashed out of the town.

The experts followed close behind.

This scene left the crowd utterly shocked.

Xu Yang, only Middle Stage True Immortal, yet with tremendous authority, a single word rallied the masses; utterly domineering.

"No wonder he’s Black Fire Immortal Mountain’s top disciple."

"As the guardian, this is his duty, but to command the top experts of all factions so easily, Xu Yang is impressive."

"With so many Late Stage Celestial Immortal experts, even hundreds of immortal beasts are nothing to worry about!"

"Hey, aren’t there so many of us too? Doesn’t matter how many beasts come."

"Let’s go, let’s check out the commotion. Who knew we’d get such entertainment before the trade fair starts? Isn’t this better than any sparring contest?"

...

Yang Family Treasury.

Yang Zhenyuan and Yang Yuan frowned deeply.

"Young master, should we intervene?" Yang Zhenyuan asked in a low voice.

Yang Yuan glared at Yang Zhenyuan unhappily: "What do you think?"

"Go quickly, don’t mess around."

Yang Yuan reminded him.

The beast tide attack was a matter concerning the survival of Four Spirits Town.

No matter how much he hated Xu Yang, at least on the surface, he absolutely couldn’t throw stones while he’s down.

Yang Zhenyuan gave a command and led the Yang Family cultivators rushing out.

Yang Yuan squinted, his face growing only more gloomy.

"Idiot!"

"Utter moron!"

He gritted his teeth, cursing inwardly.

"Still, even if you don’t kill Xu Yang, if you can cause him a major setback, that’d be a good gain." Yang Yuan took a deep breath, suppressed his stray thoughts, and quickly chased after.

The swarming crowd quickly reached the edge of the town exit.

The rooftops of every building were packed with people peering outside.

"Hiss!"

"This must be six or seven hundred!"

"What a terrifying lineup."

"I remember there weren’t that many immortal beasts for ten thousand miles around here, how did so many gather? And they all look frenzied."

"The ones up front are all Celestial Immortal level beasts."

"Someone must be plotting behind the scenes. But to target Black Fire Immortal Mountain, they’re really brave."

...

The crowd was shocked and amazed.

The sheer force of the beast tide, like rolling black clouds pressing directly over Four Spirits Town, made it hard to breathe.

Outside the town, Xu Yang and his group hovered in the air.

"Mr. Xu, there’s over a hundred Celestial Immortal level beasts, but not many Late Stage ones!"

"Though our numbers are few, we’re enough to stop them—it’ll just take some time."

"Plus, so many cultivators behind us, some will surely join in."

The beast tide was frightening, but with their combined strength, they could handle it.

Xu Yang narrowed his eyes, his expression shifting constantly.

This sudden beast tide—it was anything but normal.

No way there wasn’t something fishy; he’d never believe it.

"Leave some of the weaker ones, contact the cultivators inside and ask for help."

"The rest—"

Xu Yang’s eyes flashed, voice steady and cold.

Just then, a group arrived.

"Mr. Xu, sorry we’re late."

Yang Zhenyuan led the Yang Family over.

Yang Yuan arrived right behind.

Yang Yuan looked at Xu Yang with a solemn expression, nodded slightly: "Yang Family cultivators are at Mr. Xu’s disposal!"

The crowd gave odd looks at Yang Yuan and the rest of the Yang Family.

Xu Yang looked deeply at Yang Yuan, grinned and said, "Good, thank you, Mr. Yang."

"Second and senior brothers, I’ll need your help."

"Everyone, follow me—kill!"

With the order, Xu Yang charged out first.

Staring at the beast tide stretching nearly a thousand feet wide, his eyes brimmed not with fear but with fierce excitement.

Evil Qi roiled, billowing up to the sky.

One by one, immortal beasts—massive and hideous, savage and violent.

Their presence was enough to terrify.

Xu Yang swept in like thunder, crashing straight into the beast horde.

"Second and senior brothers, smoke them out!"

Xu Yang secretly transmitted his voice.

Yi Que and the senior brother understood instantly, each guarded a flank, holding back the Celestial Immortal class beasts up front and did not approach Xu Yang.

The others weren’t panicked at all—experts fought the strong, the weaker ones slipped through the gaps to form arrays, charging at the weaker immortal beasts.

In only a moment.

The terrifying beast tide was blocked, hundreds of feet outside Four Spirits Town.

The battle was on, earth-shaking, warping the land in all directions.

All kinds of immortal light crisscrossed, shattering black clouds, swords clashed, immortal artifacts rang, stirring the wind and clouds, thrilling to behold.

Countless watching cultivators inside the town couldn’t help but rush out to join the fray.

There were always plenty of fighters eager for a fight.

Besides, most immortal beasts were worth plenty.

Within the beast tide, Xu Yang crashed through two Celestial Immortal giant beasts like rotten wood, stomping down, immortal light surging, condensing into a mighty immortal seal, ruthlessly suppressing the surrounding beasts.

Swish!

He twisted his body, dodged an attack from a flying beast, flicked his sleeve as a blade flashed—like a bolt of lightning.

Splurt!

The flying immortal beast wailed in agony and crashed down, blood raining everywhere.

Xu Yang was drenched in blood, excitement burning ever hotter in his eyes.

"Mr. Xu, don’t go too far, watch out for trouble!"

A strong cultivator shouted a warning.

Xu Yang seemed not to hear, recklessly charged ahead.

Roar!

One Middle Stage Celestial Immortal beast shot skyward, its massive claw like a small mountain, slamming at Xu Yang.

Xu Yang grinned, his body suddenly blurred, immortal energy blasting out from within, transforming into countless tiny water droplets around him, gleaming and packed close together; if one looked close, each drop contained a mass of minute blades.

Xu Yang was wrapped in the droplets, the four great Daluo Saber energies surging, becoming one with the blade.

Swish!

This cut from Immortal Slaying Rain pierced through the air, loaded with murderous intent, slashed through the beast’s palm and straight into its skull.

Splurt!

Blood splattered the sky and earth, the giant beast howled and crashed down.

Xu Yang had already flashed behind the lines.

By now, he was deep within the rear of the beast tide.

Most of these were True Immortal and Early Stage Celestial Immortal beasts.

The rear beast group only stretched for about a hundred feet further.

"Still not coming out?"

Xu Yang’s eyes flickered, scanning all directions—despite the thick Evil Qi, his senses weren’t much impaired.

Suddenly—

Xu Yang felt a chill down his spine, hair standing on end.

He didn’t hesitate at all, spinning to slash out with his blade in a wild strike.
