Extreme Almightiest Young Master

Chapter 2734: Beast Tide Attacks the City

It was only then Lin Feng realized that the Xuanyuan Divine Emperor was not an emotionless being; he also had a vulnerable side. This person must have been dearly loved by the Xuanyuan Divine Emperor. If Lin Feng ever got the chance to visit the place mentioned by the Divine Emperor, he would definitely convey the message. He continued to ask, "Senior, what is it like beyond the Divine Emperor level?"

Upon hearing Lin Feng’s question, the Xuanyuan Divine Emperor replied, "I can’t really describe it; it’s an indescribable realm..."

After listening, Lin Feng could only nod. He suddenly thought of the bead at the top of the tower and thus asked the Divine Emperor, "Can I take the treasure bead from the top of the tower with me?"

The Xuanyuan Divine Emperor smiled and said, "No, the Soul Capturing Bead will also dissipate; everything will dissipate."

At that moment, Lin Feng distinctly felt the Xuanyuan Divine Emperor’s voice growing more and more hollow, just like when the Heavenly Martial Emperor departed. He bowed deeply to the Xuanyuan Divine Emperor, then rose with Ma Biaohu, Tangyuan, and Xiao Jiu, leaving the place.

Just as they were about to leave the space, suddenly a blinding silver light erupted behind them, with the Soul Capturing Bead at its center, shooting outwards in all directions. Lin Feng, Ma Biaohu, and the others all covered their eyes with their hands. When the dazzling light finally faded, they uncovered their eyes only to find the pagoda had disappeared, and the entire space was empty, as if nothing had ever been there...

Seeing this scene before him, Lin Feng sighed and then left the place with Ma Biaohu, Tangyuan, and Xiao Jiu.

Upon boarding the Aurora once again, their next target was the final choice of Thunder Valley. If Thunder Valley didn’t work out either, they really wouldn’t know where to select a site.

On the Aurora, Tangyuan was flipping through books, searching for information about Thunder Valley, while Ma Biaohu was sleeping. At that moment, Lin Feng suddenly smelled a strong odor of smoke. Logically speaking, the Aurora was flying tens of thousands of miles high in the sky; there shouldn’t be any smoke around.

Curious, Lin Feng flew out of the Aurora and stood atop it. The scene before his eyes left him completely stunned. Right below the Aurora was a city, albeit small, but it had been completely devastated, as if having just gone through a fierce battle. The entire sky over the city was filled with thick black smoke, and blazing flames flickered throughout the city.

Seeing such a situation, Lin Feng’s heart couldn’t help but be filled with doubt. He decided to go down and see for himself, then awoke Ma Biaohu and flew down with Xiao Jiu and Tangyuan.

The two men and two beasts flew directly to the city center. The entire city had been burned, the buildings all collapsed, and the ground was littered with fragmented corpses, not a single complete body in sight, let alone any living person.

"Boss! What on earth happened here?" Tangyuan sat on Lin Feng’s shoulder, looking at the scene around him with extreme anger. It couldn’t understand who this city had such a deep grudge with to have ended up like this.

Lin Feng shook his head; he didn’t know what had happened either. The most important thing now was to find someone to ask. The group wandered aimlessly through the city, sighing as they looked at the streets filled with corpses. Such a brutal scene they had never encountered before.

Until they reached the edge of the city, where traces of the demon beasts began to appear. Lin Feng speculated that these demon beasts were likely the root cause of the city’s destruction. Suddenly, he heard a small noise coming from within a jar. He looked at Ma Biaohu and said, "Go take a look."

Ma Biaohu took a few quick steps and reached the jar, opened the lid, and saw a person curled up inside, trembling and repeatedly pleading for mercy.

"My brother, what happened to this city?" Lin Feng stepped forward and asked the man. Seeing the man’s deep fear, he assumed the man must have witnessed the massacre firsthand.

"Beast, beast, beast tide, it was a beast tide!" The man, trembling all over, looked at Lin Feng with vacant eyes and uttered those few words.

After hearing the man’s answer, Lin Feng became even more puzzled. Normally, human cities are protected by formations and wouldn’t easily become like this. Moreover, to reduce a city to such a state would require millions of demon beasts; it’s impossible otherwise. Demon beasts and humans generally don’t interfere with each other. So why would demon beasts assault this city so aggressively? How did the demon beasts appear?

Then Lin Feng looked at the man and asked, "Are there any survivors?"

"There should be. The elderly and children all hid away. Those who went out to fight were all powerful combatants above the Divine King level, but they’re all gone, gone..." The man started crying as he spoke, escaping what happened was truly fortunate amid such misfortune.

Lin Feng nodded and continued to ask, "Where did the demon beasts go?"

The more he thought about it, the stranger it seemed. The demon beasts attacked the city but didn’t occupy it, and there’s no trace of complete bodies; they must have hidden some secret role in the city.

The man waved his hand sadly and said, "I don’t know, I truly don’t know anything. The city was breached in just one day, and after killing the people, the demon beasts ran off with the corpses. Where they went, I don’t know."

Seeing that the man couldn’t provide any more information, Lin Feng had no choice but to stop asking questions. However, he genuinely felt there were many suspicious points. Why did the demon beasts take the bodies? There could be no answers here, so with a shake of his head, he had to leave with Ma Biaohu, Tangyuan, and Xiao Jiu.

Lin Feng had an idea. He wasn’t sure if he was right, so he summoned the Aurora. They continued on their journey, but instead of sitting inside the Aurora, he stood outside. Sure enough, they arrived at the next city quickly. From the Aurora, he saw that this city was also in ruins. He realized that things weren’t so simple, and he wanted to investigate the cause.

Immediately, he piloted the Aurora to travel around nearby cities. As he expected, seven or eight consecutive cities had been attacked by beast hordes. The combined area of these cities was nearly a million miles in radius. Such a large scale problem was certainly suspicious, especially in the vast Myriad Heavens Divine Realm, where cities are separated by tens of thousands of miles. What could be causing these cities to be attacked by demon beasts?

When they reached the last city, Lin Feng saw that demon beasts were fighting against the strong individuals in the city. The roars of the beasts could be heard even from the Aurora overhead. He saw the demon beasts attacking the city, and at this rate, the walls would collapse; the formation had been broken, the situation was extremely critical.

Lin Feng put away the Aurora and stood in the air with Ma Biaohu, who immediately charged forward to fight the demon beasts, while Xiao Jiu quickly transformed into his dragon form and began to circle in the sky...

Ma Biaohu punched one demon beast after another, clearing the area, fighting while shouting in delight.

Lin Feng used Yuangang to blast away a large swath of demon beasts, and soon the surrounding beasts were fleeing in panic.

But before they could catch their breath, a dark mass of demon beasts came rushing from the distance, suddenly covering the sky like a cloud of black mist.

"Roar!"

Nine Dark Heaven Dragon saw this and immediately roared in the sky. Suddenly, a bolt of lightning flashed across, and Xiao Jiu’s voice echoed tens of thousands of miles away, causing the sky and earth to tremble.

Upon hearing the dragon’s chant, the demon beasts that were charging forward all stopped, immediately collapsing in fear, and then turned to flee. The few remaining beasts in the city also seemed to have lost their souls, fleeing out of the city.

Indeed, the intimidation from the Dragon Clan was enough to scare these demon beasts. Moreover, Xiao Jiu’s roar seemed to frighten the souls out of the beasts.

"Dashan, catch a couple of demon beasts and ask them what’s going on!" Lin Feng said to Ma Biaohu.

Ma Biaohu followed orders and immediately reached out to grab two fleeing demon beasts, pinning them to the ground. But as Lin Feng approached, he realized that these demon beasts seemed to have been stimulated by something. They appeared to be mentally disturbed, with open mouths and tongues sticking out, drooling, and only knowing how to bite—definitely not in a normal state.

This situation made Lin Feng suspect that they might have been controlled by someone, but he needed to wake them up first.

Thinking of this, Lin Feng took two Demon Cores out of his Space Ring and fed them to the two demon beasts. Shortly thereafter, the beasts awoke, looking at Lin Feng in terror, confused.

"Speak! What exactly is going on here!" Lin Feng grabbed one of the demon beasts and asked.

The beast looked at Lin Feng, trembling, and said, "I don’t know either. Where is this? Why am I here?"

The other demon beast was equally terrified, watching Lin Feng and Ma Biaohu. Clearly, they didn’t dare to lie. But upon hearing this, Lin Feng was even more puzzled. Speaking like this meant they were demon king level beasts, so how could they be easily controlled by others? What on earth was happening? Thinking of this, Lin Feng continued to ask, "Where did you come from?"

"We, we all live at Yingui Slope." Both demon beasts responded together. They really didn’t know where this place was or what this human wanted with them.

𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

Upon hearing this location, Lin Feng thought for a moment and suddenly remembered Elder Chu had mentioned it to him before. But that place was near Ling City, at least hundreds of thousands of miles from here. These guys were still bewildered and didn’t know how they got here. Things were becoming increasingly strange. Clearly, these beasts’ unclear consciousness might stem from that place. Thinking of this, without a moment’s hesitation, he grabbed these two beasts, boarded the Aurora, and headed straight for Yingui Slope.

Following the direction indicated by the demon beasts, they finally found Yingui Slope within a few days. Standing atop the Aurora, looking at the scene below, it was no different from other valleys—surrounded by mountains. Lin Feng put away the Aurora and led everyone down.

"Is this the place?" Lin Feng asked.

The demon beasts nodded and said, "This is the place, yes."

Lin Feng didn’t say much, releasing the two demon beasts, then closed his eyes, expanding his divine sense. His divine sense covered an area of tens of thousands of miles, carefully scanning each location. He sensed that there were many demon beasts in this region, but their state was similar to that of the earlier two, seemingly lost in mind and under some command.

Thinking for a moment, Lin Feng looked at Xiao Jiu and asked, "Do you have any method to restore these demon beasts to normal?"

This situation was truly bizarre; there were at least several thousand demon beasts in this area, and each one was in this state. He was genuinely perplexed.
