The Demon King is back, leading adorable kids on an adventure around the world!

A year has passed in the blink of an eye, and the spiritual energy has recovered much faster than expected.

Three months after the seal was broken, the concentration of spiritual energy on Earth returned to the level of ancient times.

The spiritual veins surged back to the surface from the depths of the earth, as if a spring that had been blocked for many years had been opened up at the same time.

Spiritual energy seeped from every crack, filling valleys, woodlands, and the edges of cities.

Six months later, the changes began to spiral out of control.

The first place to have problems was the mountains and forests, the first batch of spiritual herbs to revive deep in the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

It grew wildly under the continuous nourishment of spiritual energy, covering the entire valley within a few days.

Some of those spiritual herbs began to mutate, their roots emerging from the soil and transforming into movable vines.

They actively prey on live prey, entangle, contract, and tighten their grip, then digest and clean themselves on the spot.

In the primeval forests of the south, the first report of a man-eating vine attacking a village was made, and all forty-seven people in the village perished.

All that was found were bones, with fine strangulation marks on their surfaces, as if they had been slowly crushed by something.

Wild animals evolve faster, those predators that were already at the top of the food chain.

Immersed in spiritual energy, its body swelled several times its original size, and a hard keratin layer grew under its fur, leaving only white marks when shot with an ordinary hunting rifle.

They are no longer afraid of humans and have begun to rush out of the mountains and forests in groups, attacking towns, roads and farmlands.

Fishermen along the coast reported seeing a fish with a back larger than their fishing boat floating on the sea, its scales gleaming dimly in the moonlight.

A small fishing boat was capsized from below and dragged into the deep sea, with only a few pieces of broken planks surfacing.

At the same time, intelligence from abroad also poured in, and three sites deep within the glaciers of Northern Europe were confirmed to have seen giant creatures breaking through the ice.

Its size exceeds 100 meters, and the vibrations it causes to shake the ground can be detected by instruments from tens of kilometers away.

A new flying species has appeared in the rainforests of South America, with a wingspan of over five zhang (approximately 10 meters), resembling a hybrid of an ancient pterosaur and a bat.

They swarmed in large numbers, blocking out the sky and disrupting air routes and flight paths.

In the deserts of the Middle East, ancient buildings rise from beneath the sand, their surfaces covered with ancient runes, and they spontaneously glow with a dark, fluorescent light at night.

The surrounding sand turned into quicksand, which then sank and reformed.

Governments initially tried to suppress the news, but when a coastal city was flattened halfway down a street overnight by a giant sea monster pushed up by the tide, the news could no longer be suppressed.

Numerous videos began appearing online, including footage of mutated giant birds circling over cities, man-eating vines coiling around an entire apartment building like a cocoon, and giant beasts walking in the wilderness pushing down high-voltage power towers and continuing on their way.

Panic began to spread rapidly across the globe...

The situation in China is relatively better because the War God Sect made preparations in advance.

Ye Qianxue and Li Mengmeng, along with their disciples, began clearing out mutated beast hordes in various provinces during the early stages of the spiritual energy recovery.

The battlefront advanced inward from the border, establishing three lines of defense to protect major cities within these lines.

Disciples from the Three Mountains also took turns guarding the area, and together with the armed forces deployed by the Sage, they managed to keep the situation under control within a manageable range.

But the sage knew this was only temporary. He made a phone call to Luo Tian once. When the call was connected, the background sounds were a deep roar of beasts from afar and the buzzing of helicopter rotor blades.

The sage's voice sounded somewhat tense:

"There are new developments along the southeast coast. Six sea beasts at the fusion stage have appeared on the sea surface and are moving towards the port."

Our missiles can only damage the surface; they can't penetrate the deeper tissues. Could you send a few people over there?

After hanging up the phone, Luo Tian stood for a while before walking out of the yard.

He first sent Ye Qianxue to garrison the southeast coast, and then sent Xiao Jin to the western mountainous area, where multiple beast tides were forming.

After thinking for a moment, he sent Luo Qianqian to the northern border, where her illusion magic could help stabilize the situation that was about to spiral out of control.

Luo Nannan stayed in the sect because her power still had an unstable aspect, which might make her even more difficult to control than an enemy in the Integration Stage.

That night, a battle raged along the southeastern coast all night long, with Ye Qianxue leading her men to withstand six Nascent Soul stage sea beasts.

After freezing the sea surface with the Ice Soul Sword, it used a sword array to push three of the heads back into the deep sea, while the remaining three heads were shredded by Li Mengmeng's sword array.

Both of them were injured after the incident. Ye Qianxue's left arm was struck by the tail fin of a sea beast, resulting in a fracture. Li Mengmeng's spiritual power was almost exhausted, and she barely managed to hold on with the help of pills.

But the port was saved, and the sea returned to calm.

The battle in the western mountains lasted for three days, and Xiao Jin, after transforming into a dragon, suppressed most of the beast tide.

However, the number of beasts was too large, and he could not cover all directions at the same time by himself.

Luo Qiqi arrived on the third day and used earth magic to raise several temporary barriers in the valley, which separated the beast tide into several parts and cleared them out piecemeal.

When the battle report came back, the beast tide had been 70% broken up, and the remaining small groups were still fleeing, but they no longer had the ability to organize an attack.

The news from overseas was much worse: a giant sea monster landed off the west coast of North America, destroying three coastal cities.

The local troops' weapons could only graze the surface of the wounds, failing to cause any effective damage.

A group of humanoid creatures, ranging from four to five meters in height and with dark gray skin, has appeared in Central Europe.

It was able to move rapidly at night, impacting multiple towns; casualty figures are still being tallied.

The mutated flocks of birds in the Southern Hemisphere have formed mobile cloud formations covering an area of ​​tens of kilometers, obscuring flight paths and communications.

On the fourth night, Luo Tian walked out of the Zhan Tian Divine Sect's mountain gate.

He ascended into the air on his sword and stopped above the sea.

When the Xuanyuan Sword was drawn, its golden light illuminated a vast expanse of the sea.

He raised his hand, the tip of his sword pointing south. Recent intelligence indicated that at least three giant beasts that had broken through to the peak of the Fusion Realm were moving towards the coast of China, followed by an unknown number of followers.

He flew south on his sword, the golden sword light drawing a straight, bright line across the sea before disappearing at the edge of his field of vision.

The sea was empty in the night, and the sea breeze flowed back into the spot where the sword light had slashed, scattering the remaining golden warmth into countless tiny points of light.

The points of light floated on the sea surface for a moment, then went out one by one.
