Chapter 93: The Wind Rises and Clouds Gather

  Not to mention Xiao Gu and others settling down in the small world, with the appearance of the ancient tomb and the confirmation of the news, the entire immortal realm was thrown into chaos. The city closest to the Death Swamp, Swamp City, began to bustle thoroughly.

  Seven Great Supreme Powers all move out, descending upon the land of chaos!

  The first to arrive were naturally the local forces of the chaotic land, such as the Temple of Gods, the Blood River Mountains, and the Huangquan Demon Sect.

  It wasn't until he entered Swamp City that Xiao Gu began to see the tip of the iceberg of Shen Gong, this mysterious behemoth.

  The Swamp Castle is also part of the Divine Palace!

  "I'm asking you, Li Tian Dao, can you tell me how many divine palace forces are there in this chaotic land? How come every place I go to is a divine palace?" Xiao Gu asked with a gloomy expression as he listened to Li Tian Dao's introduction of the Swamp City.

  "If you think so, then it is," Li Tian said with a meaningful smile.

  "Hiss!" Xiao Gu sucked in a breath of cold air, but didn't say anything more.

  ……

  Marsh Castle, named for its proximity to the Death Marsh, is a high-walled and sprawling city that covers dozens of miles. It was originally a small town, but the construction of this massive wall was necessitated by the need to defend against the demonic beasts that emerge from the marsh.

  It's probably because of the large number of dark creatures that died under the city walls, the land here has a dark color, and the heavy atmosphere makes people feel an involuntary sense of oppression as soon as they approach.

  "How many of those so-called magical beasts have died here!" Xiao Gu sighed.

  "Innumerable, the demonic beasts and ferocious beasts are different. The power of a single one may not be comparable to that of a ferocious beast, but they all gather in groups. The three most terrifying killers in the Death Swamp are ant colonies, mosquito swarms, and wolf packs, all numbering in the tens of thousands." Li Tian looked at the underground passage.

  "It seems that you have been guarding this city before, otherwise, how could you be so familiar with it," Xiao Gu looked at Li Tian with a strange expression.

  "It's true I've been guarding him for a while now, and I even saved his life once," Jian Yi rarely spoke up this time.

  "Don't worry, you'll be able to experience that feeling soon too. You'll kill until you want to vomit, and then you'll become numb," Li Tian said with a vomiting expression.

  "Hmm, if it can make Li Tiandao look like that, it must be somewhat interesting," said Xiao Gu, his interest piqued.

  "Anyway, there will definitely be an opportunity every month. At that time, you just don't vomit and it's fine," Li Tian said with a smile, seemingly looking forward to Xiao Gu's performance, or rather, the expression on Xiao Gu's face when he gets killed and wants to vomit.

  "Let's go," said Li Tian, leading the way first.

  The lord of the Marsh Castle, also an elder of the Temple of God, received several people and took Xiao Gu and others to the castle master's mansion to rest, and then hurried away.

  Recently, all the major forces have come together, and the pressure on this city master is not ordinary. Especially the major forces outside the chaotic land, who have always looked down on the people of the chaotic land, are rampant in the swamp city, which is enough to make him busy and worried.

  Li Tiandao went out to get help after settling down, leaving only Xiao Gu and others behind.

  All the way, it's hard to get a rest, but Xiao Gu doesn't mind taking advantage of these three months to have a good rest, especially when he wants to meditate for a period of time and enter the Nine Realms of Nirvana.

  Xiao Gu's independent courtyard is also quite good, with small bridges and flowing water, flowers in clusters, artificial hills overlapping each other, making it a quiet and secluded place for quiet cultivation. The only problem is the little girl Liu Qi Xue.

  This girl would come to Xiao Gu's place at regular intervals every day, in addition to running around all over the place, which made Xiao Gu feel very helpless.

  In the end, Xiao Gu chose to go into seclusion.

  ……

  Half a month passed in the blink of an eye, Xiao Gu had been in seclusion all along, and even when Li Tian returned, he didn't show up.

  In the castle, apart from a few more terrifying young powerhouses, nothing had changed.

  But in the Marsh City, things have changed greatly!

  The swarms of people almost occupied every inch of land here, all the inns and houses were full, and even on the streets, there were people camping out. This made the people of Swamp City make a fortune, with prices for food, housing, etc. rising by at least tenfold or more.

  Of course, the small swamp city cannot accommodate all the cultivators, so the dense tents were set up on the empty land outside the city.

  Even shrewd businessmen have set up simple houses on vacant land outside the city for rent, but even so, it is still in short supply!

  On this day, outside the city walls, there was still a cacophony of sounds, with various fights, hawkers' calls, and recruitment announcements, all mixed together in an unknown number.

  However, nobody noticed that the death swamp just a few hundred meters away from them had changed!

  A thin layer of dense fog seemed to emerge from the ground, thread by thread, and in less than half an hour, it had already covered the entire swamp.

  People who have lived in the swamp city for many years naturally know what will happen, but outsiders are not aware of it at all until the change comes suddenly!

  "Rustle, rustle, rustle..."

  "Humming..."

  "Woof woof woof..."

  Accompanied by the thunderous roar, countless magical beasts suddenly rushed out of the thick fog, including ants as small as kittens, which were either dark brown or fiery red, wolves as large as calves, mosquitoes as big as fists, and giant alligators tens of meters long...

  Originally, people outside the city didn't take it seriously, but when hundreds of cultivators were overwhelmed by the rolling demonic beast army without even a ripple, the entire camp began to panic.

  Millions of monsters burst out of the swamp, and behind them, there were countless other monsters lurking.

  The camp outside the city was in an uproar for a time, with some people rushing towards the monster group, while others wanted to return to the city, and some were running around like headless flies.

  Rumble!

  The roar grew louder and louder, more and more cultivators were submerged in the tide of magical beasts. Even all the cultivators who died in the beast tide could hardly leave a corpse, and in just a moment, they would be swallowed up by the overwhelming magical beasts, leaving nothing behind!

  "Come on, run, come on, run..."

  At last, the army of cultivators outside the city collapsed and rushed towards Swamp City like a tide.

  When the white fog appeared, the city gate of Swamp City had already been closed, but this did not affect many cultivators from entering the city.

  After all, entering Nirvana can make one tread on air and walk freely, so city gates are only for defense against magical beasts!

  However, there were still tens of thousands of cultivators who had not yet entered the Nirvana realm and suffered a great calamity. Under the beast tide, they did not have any power to resist at all, and all became food for these beasts.

  On the city wall, there were many monks standing, and Xiao Gu and others stood on the highest battlement overlooking below.

  Long before the beast tide began, Xiao Gu had already been called out, under the name of "seeing is believing" to witness the legendary magic beast tide.

  However, as Li Tiandao said, there is indeed a big difference between monsters and beasts.

  The most obvious is in appearance!

  Ordinary ferocious beasts, even if they are very weak and small, have scales all over their bodies, with unparalleled defense. The kind of ferocity and bloodthirsty aura can be clearly felt even from a distance.

  Demons, on the other hand, are mostly physically weak, although they are stronger than humans, but still far from comparable to beasts.

  Another significant difference lies in the way of attack!

  The fierce beast relies on its powerful physique, capable of moving mountains and filling seas. Their innate divine abilities are also extremely powerful, unmatched in their dominance. In contrast, the demon beasts do not rely solely on physical attacks, but rather employ a type of elemental attack method.

  For example, condensing a large fireball, shooting out several wind blades, or summoning a flash of lightning and so on!

  What was most bizarre was that Xiao Gu personally saw a hundred-meter-long giant alligator summoning hundreds or even thousands of meteorites to fall from the sky, which was extremely miraculous.

  However, although it sounds terrifying, in terms of power, it is far inferior to the divine arts. If it were one-on-one, Xiao Gu was certain that these demonic beasts would not be a match for cultivators of the same level.

  However, under the beast tide, there are very few people who can resist alone!

  Even if it were a strong person at the peak of the Divine Transformation realm, they would not be able to withstand it. With tens of thousands of magical beasts joining forces, even a strong person in the Divine Transformation realm would have no choice but to die.

  When the quantity reaches a certain boundary, it will trigger qualitative change!
