Soon, the sky was filled with streaks of flowing light that converged upon the periphery of the Witch Clan’s Ancestor Spirit Altar.

When each streak of flowing light landed, it transformed into a figure.

No matter their level of cultivation, all members of the Witch Clan quickly lined up, taking their positions according to their practiced formations.

Everyone was solemn, for they understood what was about to happen in the Beast World—a murderous aura ascended straight to the heavens.

The Witch Clan Leader, holding the Witch Clan Seal, spoke gravely: "The Beast World Heaven and Earth are on the brink of collapse, the Destruction Tribulation is upon us! Today, our Witch Clan sons must use the essence blood of the entire clan as a guide, with the power of our ancestors as the foundation, to set up the World Protection Array, mend the crack in the sky, repel the external foe, and save the Beast World!"

"Yes!" Thousands of voices responded in unison, shaking the ancient trees surrounding the altar.

As the leader re-sealed, the light from the Witch Clan Mark grew even brighter.

Countless members of the Witch Clan also began sealing, setting up the Great Array.

Under the power of all the Witch Clan members, a massive and mysterious Array Map slowly rose from beneath the altar, covering the skies over the Witch Clan Mountain Range, continuing to expand.

Immediately after, all the Beastmen of the Witch Clan offered their essence blood, merging it into the Array Map. In an instant, the map burst forth with brilliant hues, innumerable powers converging, intertwining into an energy river connecting heaven and earth, rushing towards the ever-widening black fissure in the sky.

That broken void was the key to the Destruction Tribulation.

They absolutely could not allow that powerful, world-ending enemy to emerge.

The void was the passage through which the world-ending enemy would break through, marking the beginning of heaven and earth’s shattering.

"Rise!" At the Clan Leader’s command, the World Protection Array suddenly tightened, the energy river fiercely slamming into the sky’s fissure, attempting to fill it.

Also attempting to stop the massive claw.

But at that moment, the giant claw surged towards the array.

As forces clashed, the array blocked the claw.

Just then, countless strange beastmen attacked the Witch Clan Beastmen.

These beastmen didn’t resemble those from the Beast World; they were foreign invaders.

"Kill!"

Witch Clan Beastmen, wielding weapons, met the charge, blood-red spears slicing through the sky.

Witch Clan female beastmen swung the Seven-Colored Butterfly Wing Fan, rainbow-colored light blades whistling forth, slaying invaders while also shielding nearby clan members with lower cultivation.

Other Witch Clan Beastmen summoned powerful Magic Artifacts, golden spiritual energy forming shields to block the attackers’ advances.

Thus began a brutal battle, Witch Clan Beastmen using their bodies as barriers, steadfastly obstructing the invaders’ progress. The land surrounding the altar quickly turned crimson with blood, tribe members falling continuously, yet no one retreated.

They understood that once they fell back, all Beastmen in the Beast World would perish.

This Destruction Tribulation would truly bring annihilation.

"We cannot retreat!"

Under the imbalance of heaven and earth, surrounding anomalies in the Beast World became more frequent.

Torrential rains poured, floods surged, surging towards the beastmen tribes at the foot of the mountain.

Also, volcanic eruptions, scorching lava consuming everything, countless innocent beastmen fleeing, wailing in disaster.

"Protect everyone!"

Seeing this, the Clan Leader shouted loudly.

Then a Great Power of the Witch Clan led a team of tribe members away from the battle formation, rushing towards areas ravaged by floods.

But whether it was the floods or volcanoes, they were all man-made, too fierce, the Witch Clan’s mortal bodies couldn’t stop them.

In trying to save many innocent beastmen, they ultimately perished in the floods or even in volcanic eruptions.

Above the altar, the light of the World Protection Array dimmed due to the constant sacrifices of the tribe members, yet the energy river continued to stubbornly crash against the sky’s fissure.

The Clan Leader’s mouth overflowed with blood, the depletion of his essence blood bringing him to the brink of exhaustion. He looked upon the fallen tribe members, the lives swallowed by disasters, and determination flashed in his eyes: "The Witch Clan shall not perish, the protection of the world shall not cease!"

With that, he poured his entire cultivation into the array, the Array Map emitted a powerful light once more, forcibly filling part of the sky’s fissure.

Yet it was still difficult to seal the crack.

The array needed unceasing power.

Later, countless beastmen joined the array.

Snake Beastmen, Blood Clan Beastmen, and Dark Beastmen all assisted.

Yet some Dark Beastmen aided the invaders in killing Witch Clan Beastmen.

The Beast World was in utter chaos.

In the end, it was the power of the Wushan Divine Hall that appeared, sealing the void fissure, halting the chaos wild beastmen’s invasion, and severing an arm of the chaos wild beastmen.

"We must not use the power of the Wushan Divine Hall, beneath the Wushan Divine Hall is another entrance and a barbaric demon beast."

"If the Wushan Divine Hall moves, they will emerge."

Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, the power of the Wushan Divine Hall cannot be used.

However, the invaders also understood the power of the Wushan Divine Hall, they would automatically avoid it.

Yet the lurking strange otherworldly beastmen, seeing their master, the chaos wild beastmen, failing to break through and being injured, began slaughtering the Witch Clan Beastmen.

The Witch Clan Beastmen expended all their power to save the Beast World, only to be brutally slain.

They seemed intent on ensuring no Witch Clan Beastman survived.

The Great Witch finally took out the sacred Witch Artifact passed down through generations, "Chaos Turtle Shell."

This was a Magic Artifact given by the Heavenly God to the Witch Clan when the Wushan Divine Hall descended.

It could activate part of the power of the Wushan Divine Hall.

He walked directly over to the young beastmen shielded at the back of the array.

These young ones were all gravely injured, yet they continued to guard the array.

Their eyes were clear and determined.

The Great Witch’s eyes flashed with a trace of pain, then hardened with unwavering conviction: "In the future, the Witch Clan will produce pure-blooded beastmen surpassing their ancestors, naturally gifted with divine skills, twins bestowed upon the Witch Clan by the heavens."

"They need your protection, henceforth they will be your masters."

"Thus, you are the fire. You must survive so they do not bear undue hardship."

As his words fell, the Great Witch threw the Chaos Turtle Shell into the air, his hands rapidly forming complex Witch Seals, chanting: "With my blood as the guide, borrowing the power of the Wushan Divine Hall as the key, open the Secret Realm Space..."

As his incantation concluded, his witch power surged wildly, pouring into the Chaos Turtle Shell.

The Wushan Divine Hall also emitted a powerful force, pouring into the Chaos Turtle Shell.

The turtle shell burst forth with dazzling green light, spinning into a vortex above the Wushan Divine Hall. At the center of the vortex, a deep spatial fissure slowly opened, and on the other side, a realm shrouded in mist, rich in spiritual energy—a Secret Realm Land.

This was a Secret Realm opened by the Wushan Divine Hall, independent of heaven and earth, hidden and safe.

Simultaneously, over a dozen Magic Artifact Coffins were brought forth from the Wushan Divine Hall, the coffins carved with witch patterns nurturing vitality and sealing breath.

The Great Witch used his witch power to place these individuals into the coffins.

"Sleep now, when the time is ripe, when the Witch Clan’s divine twins arrive, they will open this place. At that time, they will be your masters and the hope of our clan’s revival."

"You must protect them."

These beastmen were shocked by the Great Witch’s words.

Would their Witch Clan truly see such a time?

They could hardly believe it, but the Great Witch’s foresight would not be wrong.

Though they wished to fight alongside their clan, under the Great Witch’s resolute gaze and the hopeful eyes of their kin, they ultimately chose to obey.

As they lay in the coffins, the lids closed automatically, witch patterns flowing, lulling them into slumber.

They would mend their injuries in their sleep, waiting to awaken once more.

The Great Witch exerted his strength again, his witch power wrapping around the over a dozen Magic Artifact Coffins, slowly guiding them toward the Secret Realm Fissure within the Wushan Divine Hall.

Allowing them entry into that secluded Secret Realm Space.

Only when the Great Witch had completed these tasks, he turned to ashes.

Yet as he turned to ashes, his face bore a look of satisfaction, gazing into the distance, as if seeing the hope of the Witch Clan.
