The Master of Beasts-Chapter 720 - 216: Fusion Eruption (Part 2)

"Transmit my order: The Tushan Clan is to evacuate this place entirely without delay, completely within three days."

"Elder Jing, is the impact of that Boundary Film really so significant? And isn't three days too short?" a shopkeeper said reluctantly.

Evacuating in three days means abandoning a lot of goods. The Space Ring is not foolproof; once cultivation reaches a certain Realm, the Space Ring actually becomes unsafe, as there are numerous Secret Techniques that can directly open a Space Ring and remotely take the items inside.

The most famous is the Divine Thief Heart Stealer. This guy can snatch anything within a Space Ring, and the key point is this guy is a Daluo, doing things as he pleases.

The most annoying part is he likes leaving his Secret Technique that can open Space Rings in corners of the True Realm, making merchant caravans afraid to store too much merchandise in spatial equipment, fearing theft and losing everything.

"No further discussion; if the clan blames anyone, I alone will take the responsibility." Tushan Jing didn't explain much.

The shopkeepers glanced at each other. With Tushan Jing saying this, they, the subordinates, naturally had nothing else to say.

"Understood!"

After those shopkeepers left, a young girl with a youthful appearance and worried face approached, "Third Uncle, is it really that serious?"

"It's you, Little Jing. I don't know either. You know my Talent; I'm naturally sensitive to danger. Something feels incredibly wrong with this Boundary Film, quite terrifying."

"More frightening than all the life-and-death crises I've experienced in my lifetime!" For Tushan Jing, a top master even among Golden Immortals, his voice quivered slightly by the end.

"Then let's follow Third Uncle's words and evacuate quickly!" Hearing Tushan Jing's words, Tushan Jingjing understood the gravity of the situation.

The Tushan Clan's evacuation garnered the attention of many Loose Cultivators. Some more fearful Cultivators quickly went back to pack their shops, intending to evacuate with the Tushan Clan.

But more Cultivators still held onto a sliver of luck and dared not evacuate casually.

Knowing this area was originally seized through battles, the cost was immense. Once leaving, losing the ground would make reclaiming it far from easy.

"People perish for wealth, birds perish for food."

Leaving behind a somewhat mocking remark, Tushan Jing led the last merchant convoy of the Tushan Clan away.

......

Three months later

The remaining Loose Cultivators drank heavily and chatted loudly.

"To me, the Tushan Clan is just too timid. These development zones and True Realm have fused countless times. Doesn't each appearance result in a Black Film?"

"Exactly, exactly. What bad aura in the Black Film? I think the Tushan Clan just couldn't keep it together!"

More rational Loose Cultivators still wore worried expressions, "What if it's true? That's the Tushan Clan we're talking about!"

"How..."

"Rumble Rumble"

Suddenly, the black Boundary Film began to crack open with gigantic fissures, akin to the sky tearing apart.

This magnificent spectacle hardly surprised the gathered Loose Cultivators, as it occurs every ten thousand years.

"Wait a minute, what is that thing?"

A Loose Cultivator with Spirit Eye, gazing in terror as numerous black masses emerged from the fissures in the black film.

"Thud"

A black mass landed in front of one Loose Cultivator.

The slowly pulsing black surface revealed numerous thick black veins, hinting at flowing liquid within.

"What is this?"

The Loose Cultivator extended his hands but before touching the mass, the black film exploded suddenly and a giant claw clamped onto the Cultivator's waist.

"Crunch"

The bewildered expression hadn't vanished from the Cultivator's face before his corpse split into two, falling to the ground.

A creature resembling a crab but with a long proboscis, the proboscis's tip lined with sharp teeth.

"Plok"

The proboscis pierced the Cultivator's severed part, and a tiny red tongue extended, voraciously devouring flesh.

In everyone's eyes, the Cultivator swiftly split in half, then being drained into a husk by the peculiar creature.

"What is this thing? Has this happened before?" an uninformed Loose Cultivator curiously inquired.

"Let's capture it first!"

With only a single black creature falling upon this street, urgency wasn't high among the Loose Cultivators.

Pressing a single hand onto the agitated small creature, this Cultivator curiously asked, "Has anyone seen such a creature?"

"No idea, feels more like a Chaos Creature from Outer Heaven?"

"Whoosh Whoosh Whoosh"

A series of sharp whistling sounds echoed from afar.

A multitude of bizarre creatures formed a terrifying wave approaching from the distance!

"Hey hey hey, that's way too exaggerated!"

These peculiar creatures, upon devouring Cultivators, began evolving, slowly growing legs like humans, those devouring more even developing facial features. If not for the odd proboscis still present, they'd be indistinguishable from real humans.

......

At the moment the Black Film ruptured, unprecedented changes occurred in the Golden Desert.

Star Moon City, Chen Jiuge hasn't appeared in the city for three months.

During this time, Chen Jiuge was in the Chaos World, where Chaos found the Evil Ghosts too unruly to manage, which was taking a toll, hence Chen Jiuge entered to assist.

"Be obedient, okay?" Chen Jiuge kindly spoke to the Little Evil Spirit before her.

Originally fierce-looking, the Little Evil Spirit now acted obediently like a little puppy, even appearing somewhat silly and cute.

"This should be enough, I'll take these Evil Ghosts away directly." Chen Jiuge said to Chaos.

"Take them away, take them away!" Chaos responded happily, now seeing those little things gave him a headache!

The tranquil and harmonious Star Moon Pond suddenly witnessed the appearance of numerous Evil Ghosts, exerting a top-predator pressure that made the Spiritual Beasts within tremble.

"Father, is this your domain?"

"Is that Brother Chi Hong?"

Though Chi Hong rarely appeared in front of these Evil Ghosts, his position remained stable.

After prolonged combat, Chi Hong's temperament had become much steadier.

"Um, you're arriving at the right time!"

Chi Hong flashed a somewhat stiff smile. These clan members were his direct strength, be it in loyalty or understanding, both were high!

"Chi Hong, all these clan members are entrusted to you, don't let them suffer much!" Chen Jiuge said, feeling pleased.

"Rest assured, Father, I'll take good care of them!"

"Then..."

The sky resonated with a loud boom, then splitting apart under Chen Jiuge's astonished gaze.

Gigantic black fissures appeared within the blue sky, numerous black substances poised to fall, but at the last instant, those entities surprisingly changed direction.

"Are those living creatures?" Chen Jiuge's third Spirit Eye on her forehead could clearly see creatures active within those masses.

"There's an impending sense of major peril!"

"And, is the spatial restraint weakening? Could it be the Golden Desert is about to fuse with the True Realm?"

"Snap"

The sound akin to breaking glass filled the air, the coastless blue sky above the Golden Desert suddenly shattered, revealing a void resembling a black hole.

Then a supreme eye opened wide.

"Is that the Heavenly Dao?" It was the first time Chen Jiuge saw the manifestation of the Heavenly Dao.

Endless visions of the Dao emerged, the black void began solidifying, mountains, rivers began surfacing.

"It's really merging. Why has it happened so early?"

"Chi Hong, take your clan people with me!"

Regardless of the unexpected changes, the most important task now is to reinforce the defense of various territories.

Upon arriving at the City Lord Mansion, Chen Jiuge immediately said to Mo Yu and Xiao Hong, "Time is tight; I don't know what changes occurred but enhancing strength surely isn't wrong!"

Several Spiritual Beast Army units appeared under Chen Jiuge's command, deployed by her into each region.

"Mo Yu, use urgent telecommunication to inform the city lords of each city, warning them about the fleeting black creatures, and temporarily abandon the resource points in the wild."

"Xiao Hong, have Hei Mu and Xiao Zizai scout outside for the situation, and ultimately bring me samples of the black creatures."

"But..."

"Don't worry, I'm not sending them to their deaths. Those two Great Roc Birds can protect them, and if necessary, they can at least escape!"

"Alright, I'll notify them immediately."

"Let's hope there are no surprises."
