When system cheat becomes rampant!-Chapter 1236 - 807: Beast Tide Assault (Part 2)

Elder Luo, upon seeing these eerie scenes, immediately turned and shouted to everyone on the city walls: "Sound the alarm, prepare to resist the beast tide!"

All the guardians and pioneers stationed on the walls felt a jolt in their hearts, not daring to be negligent, and various lights lit up on their bodies. These people possessed different system abilities, most of which were long-range attack capabilities, all set up at the ready.

Boom! Boom boom!

A few Firebirds spewed streams of scorching lava toward the city walls; the lava seemed to scorch half the sky, carrying intense heat as it slammed into the walls.

Besides the lava, there was also a substantial amount of purple poisonous gas clinging to the wall’s formation defenses. These poisonous gases corroded the formation, sizzling loudly, and even vortices abruptly appeared in mid-air, with all the spikes rushing towards the city walls.

The entire stretch of the city walls was bombarded by various desolate beasts; the walls buzzed from the impact. Fortunately, the guardians stationed on the walls were experienced in facing these beast tides, and they also controlled the wall’s formation, beginning to counterattack these desolate beasts!

Ice collided with lava, heatwaves incinerated the poison, and various arrows turned into swift shadows that pinned the desolate beasts at the forefront to the ground!

Elder Luo stood atop the wall, staring into the oncoming desolate beasts, his gaze sharp. An invisible wave transformed into a thunderbolt, shooting into the sky, then suddenly plummeting downwards, striking amid the desolate beast horde!

Buzz!

This powerful spiritual power, upon hitting the ground, immediately spread out in all directions, sweeping across. In an instant, the desolate beast horde within a ten-mile radius collapsed lifelessly!

"Amazing!"

Many of the guardians on the wall were astonished to see Elder Luo take action; their gazes filled with respect. As the protector god of Jiuzhou, he gave them immense security.

But ending the desolate beasts within a ten-mile radius was far from enough, as this wave of beast tide spanned thousands of miles. For the massive Jiuzhou battlefront, exterminating these desolate beasts was merely a drop in the bucket.

Elder Luo’s spiritual power surged out once more. This time, instead of attempting to kill, he set up a powerful spiritual barrier at the frontline.

When these desolate beasts tried to breach the spiritual barrier, it seemed to disrupt them. Each beast’s eyes became confused, soon turning blood-red, and roared angrily, pouncing at other desolate beasts around them!

The desolate beasts that were initially going to attack the Jiuzhou walls suddenly began to kill each other at the foot of the walls, attacking their companions.

Elder Luo’s spiritual power altered the desolate beasts’ mentality, causing them to lose the distinction between friend and foe, frantically tearing at each other.

Letting desolate beasts fight among themselves was extremely effective; however, Elder Luo did not spread this spiritual power more extensively. The walls of Jiuzhou spanned thousands of miles; he couldn’t protect all the borders alone, which would consume him significantly.

He merely controlled relatively powerful desolate beasts, directing them to slay weaker ones, easing the pressure from the beast tide. Many guardians, seeing Elder Luo’s counteraction against these desolate beasts, were also encouraged, all unleashing their abilities from the high walls to bombard these desolate beasts.

Professor Guo was methodically commanding the guardians in battle. He was already guarding this section of the walls and, after severely thrashing UR-level He Caiwei back then, had become the chief commander of the Alliance Beast Tide Defense Department. Regarding wall defense, he claimed the number one spot in Jiuzhou, with no one daring to claim second place.

At this moment, the wall formations surged with golden light; the desolate beasts’ attacks on the walls were repelled by his counterattack ability. The force of these counterattacks was controlled by various guardians, who could direct and precisely strike the desolate beasts.

Not only was this battle ongoing here, but almost the entire borderlines of the Jiuzhou continent, including the Liangzhou border, Qingzhou border, Yanzhou border... all the states faced desolate beast attacks, each state having designated commanders directing the fight.

This battle lasted for two hours before it was finally resolved. The ground before them was a mess, desolate beast carcasses everywhere, a pervasive stench in the air.

As the battle gradually subsided, Elder Luo and Professor Guo did not let down their guard. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

"This is just the first wave," Professor Guo said.

Almost every beast tide came in consecutive waves. Once some disturbance occurred in the depths of the Desolate Realm, all the desolate beasts’ territories would shift.

For instance, if the desolate beasts in the third danger zone Tranquil Domain suddenly went mad and moved towards the second danger zone Marquis Domain, the desolate beasts in the second danger zone, unable to contend with the Tranquil Domain beasts, could only leave their territory to occupy the first danger zone Cultivated Domain.

This would force the desolate beasts of the Cultivated Domain to crash against Jiuzhou’s walls.

This is precisely the first wave of the beast tide.

The first wave of the beast tide was relatively weak and not difficult to deal with. For these well-trained guardians, it was not much of a challenge. However, the second wave, third wave... the beast tide would only grow stronger, and that would be the real battle!

"Everyone, stay alert. Rest if needed, take assignments if assigned. Each post must have personnel; no vacancies are allowed as stronger beast tides may follow," Elder Luo conveyed the order.

Having done all this, he turned to Professor Guo and said: "Summon all the alliance officers, prepare for an alliance meeting. Those unable to attend must participate via video. Jiuzhou is entering a state of war readiness!"

"Understood."

Professor Guo nodded immediately and sent out the announcement.

On Jiuzhou’s walls, Xu Chiyuan and Hu Jiudie were watching the battle from afar.

They had successfully infiltrated Jiuzhou, acting as pioneers, temporarily assisting with the battle on this section of the wall. They had witnessed Elder Luo’s display of power.

"So, this is the True God of Jiuzhou?"

Xu Chiyuan casually flicked his hand, wiping out a struggling desolate beast, pretending to be a serious pioneer in combat.

"Hmph, nothing special!" Hu Jiudie said coldly.

"Uh, you’re underestimating. In the Edge Corner Airspace, perhaps, but in the Great Desolate Realm, he’s indeed impressive. You should tone down the arrogance, show some respect," Xu Chiyuan stated factually.

"Should I, a master of the Ancestral Dao Realm, respect a Heavenly Connection realm human?" Hu Jiudie coldly sneered repeatedly.

Xu Chiyuan shrugged and said, "That’s the issue, as a master of the Ancestral Dao Realm, you still can’t take him down alone."

Hu Jiudie squinted, coldly glaring at Xu Chiyuan, but Xu Chiyuan didn’t care because he knew Hu Jiudie couldn’t rebut.

"Alright then, for now, it seems Wu Yiming’s status in Jiuzhou is quite high! He can get close to Luo Yunxian, so he’ll handle the plan to eliminate Luo Yunxian. We just follow his instructions then. Now, we need to find the fragments of the Human Dao artifact, where do you think the artifact fragments are most likely located?"

Xu Chiyuan, gazing after Luo Yunxian’s departing figure, contemplated aloud.

"He is Jiuzhou’s strongest. If I were Wufeng, wanting to hide the artifact fragment in Jiuzhou, naturally I’d entrust it to him. I think we should just capture this Luo Yunxian, torture him severely, there’s no way he won’t confess?" Hu Jiudie proposed.

Xu Chiyuan, while clearing out minor desolate beasts in the Qi-Controlling and Meridian Opening stages, remarked, "That’s reasonable. Perhaps he did hide the fragment of the Human Dao artifact, but for some reason, I feel there is someone else more suspicious!"

"Who?"

"Do you not have relevant memories? Eight years ago, Jiuzhou had an N-level prodigy who defeated all SSR and UR levels."

Xu Chiyuan smiled indifferently, his gaze lighting up with a peculiar glow.

"Didn’t he leave Jiuzhou?" Hu Jiudie frowned.

Before leaving, Wu Yiming had given them all the data about Jiuzhou as memories, so they had a thorough understanding of Jiuzhou’s affairs.

"But N-level, able to defeat SSR and UR levels! Isn’t that odd?" Xu Chiyuan said meaningfully.
