My cultivation disguise has been exposed by Xiao Sizi.

At this time.

Inside that dilapidated secret realm that had just been forcibly anchored.

Beneath the dark red sky lies a vast, ancient, and primitive mountain range.

Deep in the mountains.

Inside a savage sect built from countless enormous animal bones.

Tens of thousands of barbaric cultivators, their upper bodies bare and covered in bizarre totems, stared at the sky in terror.

They are the natives of this "wild beast realm".

They live by hunting ancient species and eating raw meat and drinking blood.

"Sect Leader! What's going on? Why has our world suddenly stopped!"

An elder riding a two-headed demon wolf rushed into the Hall of Bones in a panic.

In the very center of the main hall.

Sitting there was a terrifying giant, as tall as an iron tower, standing at least three zhang (approximately 10 meters).

He possessed the formidable cultivation of the late-stage Golden Core realm, and was none other than Batu, the sect leader of the Mad Beast Sect.

Batu stood up and kicked over the bronze wine vessel in front of him.

His wild and bloodthirsty eyes were fixed on the sky that had been pierced by the chains of spiritual energy from the Tang Dynasty.

"There is an invasion by foreign enemies!"

Batu let out a wild, beast-like roar.

"They're from another world, trying to swallow us up!"

"Warriors of the Beast Sect!"

Batu raised a terrifying bone club made from the leg bone of a giant dragon.

"Sound the horns! Awaken all the guardian beasts!"

"No matter who comes from outside, if they dare to covet our Wild Beast Secret Realm, we'll turn them all into the excrement of sacred beasts!"

"Ugh—!!!"

A desolate and savage horn sound rose into the sky in the secret realm.

Thousands upon thousands of enormous, terrifyingly ferocious beasts were awakened from their slumber by the indigenous cultivators, roaring towards the sky.

They were ready to fight.

Prepare to use the most cruel and bloody methods to tear apart those invaders who dare to cross the border.

however.

They had no idea that they were about to face a pack of ravenous monsters.

Beyond the secret realm.

The edge of the Tang Dynasty's territory.

One hundred heavy psionic warships of the Tang Dynasty, all jet black and gleaming with a cold metallic luster.

They are already lined up and suspended in mid-air.

The Tang Dynasty expeditionary force had just retreated from the northern frontier, and hadn't even had time to wipe the bloodstains off their armor.

The team has regrouped.

However, this time...

The murderous aura emanating from them had completely transformed into a chilling excitement and fanaticism!

On the deck of the main ship.

Cheng Yaojin carried a large axe with a Xuanhua pattern in one hand and a "cultivation-themed spiritual energy megaphone" that Li Tai had just given him in the other.

He looked at the world passage ahead that had been torn open by the formation.

A pair of bull's eyes gleamed with a thieving green light.

"Your Highness! The brothers are starving and thirsty!"

Cheng Yaojin turned his head and loudly volunteered to Li Chen, who was sitting on the general's chair drinking tea.

"These bumpkins don't even have a proper sect-protecting formation."

"Just give the order, and I, Old Cheng, guarantee that within an hour, I'll dig up their sect's most valuable stone for you!"

Li Chen put down his teacup.

He stood up, walked to the bow of the ship, and looked down at the red world full of wildness at the other end of the passage.

He could clearly sense that the world contained countless unexploited, top-grade spiritual veins.

"I've got it."

Li Chen turned his head and looked at the generals whose faces were full of fervor.

A graceful yet cruel smile curled at the corners of his lips.

"Our Great Tang Dynasty is a land of etiquette."

"We're not going to rob them; we're going to help them develop outdated production capacity."

Li Chen drew his longsword and swung it forward with a fierce blow.

"If they resist, give them a quick death if possible."

"If you encounter a treasure trove or a spiritual vein, there's no need to stand on ceremony with me."

Li Chen's voice, amplified by the surge of true energy, resounded throughout the entire fleet.

"Great Tang Expeditionary Force, heed my command!"

"All troops, charge! Plow this secret realm three feet deep!"

"promise!!!"

The 100,000 Xuanjia soldiers roared with earth-shattering force.

"Boom—!"

Hundreds of heavy psionic warships were running at full power.

Like a group of black steel dragons bursting out of hell, they directly crushed the void passage.

With an overwhelming and violent momentum, it crashed down on the sky above the Beast Secret Realm!

Within the secret realm.

Batu, the leader of the Mad Beast Sect, is leading tens of thousands of native cultivators and a massive army of demonic beasts, ready for battle.

When they saw that dark mass of steel warships in the sky.

All the natives were stunned.

"What kind of monster is that? It has no wings, yet it can fly in the sky?"

"What's inside those huge black iron boxes?"

Batu also frowned, but his inherent savagery did not make him back down.

"No matter what kind of iron box it is, it's all just scrap metal in the face of absolute power!"

Batu raised the enormous bone club and pointed it at the sky.

"Beast Legion, charge! Smash those iron crates!"

"roar--!"

Thousands of winged flying beasts, carrying the elite cultivators of the Mad Beast Sect, resembled a dense dark cloud.

Facing the Tang Dynasty's fleet, they charged forward recklessly!

on the deck.

Looking down at the group of primitive tribes riding monsters and wielding bone clubs charging up, they saw...

The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty had eyes full of pity.

"Sigh, times have changed, buddy."

Li Chen stood on the command ship, wearing sunglasses.

He didn't even bother to draw his sword; he simply raised his right hand slightly and then slammed it down.

"Fire."

Accompanied by Li Chen's two casually uttered words.

"Buzz—!"

On both sides of hundreds of warships.

Thousands of "psychic heavy cannons" that had been madly modified by King Wei Li Tai simultaneously lit up with a dazzling, eerie blue array light!

This is a perfect combination of formation and firepower.

It is a pure energy pouring out, driven by top-grade spirit stones!

"BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM—!!!"

next second.

Thousands of thick, dark blue beams of destructive energy, each as thick as a bucket, accompanied by terrifying sonic booms that ripped through eardrums.

Like a meteor shower defying the heavens, it mercilessly poured down on the dense formation of charging monsters below!

There was no clash of weapons.

There was no strategic maneuvering involved in countering each move.

Only the purest and most extreme dimensional reduction attack!

"Bang!"

A two-headed demonic wolf with the strength of the late Foundation Establishment stage was pierced by a beam of spiritual energy before it could even let out a scream. Its entire body exploded into a cloud of blood mist in mid-air.

"boom!"

An elder of the Beast Sect brandished a bone shield in an attempt to block.

As a result, the supposedly indestructible magic weapon shattered like paper under the bombardment of the armor-piercing array, and he and the magic weapon were evaporated into nothingness.

It only took a few breaths.

Just moments ago, these were thousands of elite indigenous troops who were all high-spirited and arrogant.

Under the baptism of modern cultivation firepower, a full half of them were wiped out!

Severed limbs and broken arms, mixed with the blood of demonic beasts, rained down from the sky.

on the ground.

Batu, the leader of the Mad Beast Sect, stared blankly at the sky.

The bone club in his hand clattered to the ground.

That wild face covered in tattoos was now filled with incomprehensible, extreme fear.

What kind of attack is this?!

No incantations were needed, no hand seals were required, and not even a person was seen.

With just a few flashes of blue light, half of his painstakingly trained elite force was gone?!
