Chapter 1392: Great Battle

Then, the five-colored crystal in the palm of the thousand-hand illusion began to transform.

A massive missile, several light armors in length, formed in the raised palms of the thousand-hand illusion.

It then tore through space and time, hurtling toward the beast tide.

At that moment, the charging disciples of both sects felt the terrifying aura emanating from the missile.

“Xu, Great Peak Master, are you sure we don’t need to block the shockwave?” Xiong Li’s voice rang out.

“No need. This was condensed using my special method; the shockwaves won’t reach us.”

The missile moved with incredible speed, piercing into the beast tide in the blink of an eye.

The disciples then witnessed a massive five-colored fission cloud rise and explode violently, spreading across the entire beast tide.

A five-colored storm erupted at the heart of the beast tide, connecting heaven and earth.

With just this single strike, countless chaotic giant beasts were obliterated.

The beast tide seemed to have been halved, and their offensive momentum slowed slightly.

The gaps torn open by the five-colored storm were quickly filled by other chaotic giant beasts.

However, the massive breach created at the frontline of the beast tide could not be repaired.

The disciples of both sects broke through space, pouring out from the gap and engaging the beast tide in battle.

Xu Gang observed the endless beast tide and decided to hold the rear, clearing out the chaotic giant beasts that had slipped past the frontline.

“Thank you, Friend Xu, for your assistance.”

At some point, Saint Wanchuan had appeared beside Xu Gang.

“The human world is still growing; it’s only right to lend a hand.”

Xu Gang casually summoned a river of molten lava, annihilating the chaotic giant beasts pouring out from the gap.

Meanwhile, the parts of the beast tide untouched by the disciples began to close in, surrounding everyone.

“Grape, activate the Formation,” Xu Gang commanded.

Instantly, the enhancing chaotic Formation hovering above the disciples descended, significantly boosting their fighting strength.

At that moment, a large group of Great Saint-level god or demon puppets appeared, forming a defensive line to hold back the converging beast tide.

Saint Wanchuan was startled by the aura of the god or demon puppets, fearing that even the gods or demons had set their sights on the human world.

“Don’t worry. These are the god or demon puppets from my sect,” Xu Gang said lightly.

Feeling the Great Saint aura radiating from these fifty thousand puppets, Saint Wanchuan felt a sense of unreality.

How many Great Saints existed in the entire Three Thousand Realms? Yet here, fifty thousand Great Saint-level god or demon puppets had suddenly appeared.

Back when he was in the Three Thousand Realms, he had regarded the Hidden Spirit Sect as an invincible force, akin to the Heavenly Way.

Even then, he could vaguely sense the gap.

But with the sudden appearance of fifty thousand Great Saint-level puppets, his mindset began to waver.

Fifty thousand Great Saints—how could anyone hope to surpass such a force in the future?

He always envisioned the grandeur of the human world, which also propelled him to ascend to the rank of a chaotic saint, standing shoulder to shoulder with numerous Great Saints in the alliance.

"There’s another breach over there; can your human alliance members go and block it?" Xu Gang pointed towards a direction.

After Grape’s analysis, the defensive strength in that area was insufficient, and they couldn’t muster other disciples to reinforce it.

"Understood." Saint Wanchuan nodded and led the human alliance members to secure that breach.

This surge of beast tide impacted countless light armor regions.

Despite the large number of disciples from both sects, the chaotic giant beasts in the ensuing beast tide numbered in the hundreds of billions.

"Grape, set up life and energy channels for all disciples, including those from the Yuanshi Sect, and prepare for a prolonged battle."

Xu Gang stood on an expansive sea of lava as he issued the command.

The vast sea of lava spanned dozens of light armor regions, and Xu Gang alone held this area steady.

Meanwhile, Xu Fan, lounging at the Hidden Spirit Sect, noticed an increase in the small tadpoles within the sect’s chaotic pool.

"Grape, how severe is the beast tide over there?" Xu Fan inquired.

Having reached a certain level, Xu Fan no longer felt threatened by sheer numbers.

"The entire beast nest spans billions of light armor regions, drawing chaotic giant beasts from hundreds of light armor regions."

"As the beast tide progresses, it becomes increasingly difficult to contain. I recommend summoning Number Four," Grape’s voice resonated.

"What if we don’t? Can we still halt the beast tide?" Xu Fan asked.

"With the support of the energy and life channels in the sect, the beast tide will eventually be stopped, but at least half of the sect’s disciples will perish," Grape explained.

"That’s manageable; the sect currently has ample resources. Even if half are lost, we can sustain it," Xu Fan pondered and then replied.

"Let this beast tide serve as a trial."

"Lately, the sect has been too comfortable; I want to see if they can endure tough battles," Xu Fan said with a slight smile.

A massive light curtain appeared before Xu Fan, displaying the live scene of the two sects’ disciples battling the beast tide.

At that moment, Yuan Lord arrived, and Xu Fan invited him directly to the courtyard.

"I heard this beast tide is quite severe. Should we intervene, or inform the human race elders?" Yuan Lord suggested.

"Don’t rush; according to Grape’s projections, seventy percent of your Yuanshi Sect disciples will fall, and fifty percent of the Hidden Spirit Sect will fall, but we will ultimately contain the beast tide," Xu Fan stated calmly.

"Seventy percent!! Are you trying to annihilate my Yuanshi Sect disciples?!"

"Your Hidden Spirit Sect is affluent; my Yuanshi Sect cannot match that."

"If over forty percent of our disciples are lost, my Yuanshi Sect will be drained!" Yuan Lord grew anxious.

"Rest assured; I’ve already instructed Grape to deploy the chaotic great reincarnation divine formation on the battlefield."

"The souls of the two sects’ disciples who fall in the beast tide will be fully protected, making their revival less costly," Xu Fan reassured Yuan Lord with a wave of his hand.

"I see, Xu the Divine Master, you’re training your Hidden Spirit Sect disciples."

Yuan Lord observed Xu Fan’s demeanor and understood his intent.

"Precisely; this is a rare opportunity."

"Since you’re here, let’s watch the live broadcast together and see how the two sects’ disciples fare," Xu Fan invited.

"Alright, nothing else to do."

Yuan Lord reclined on a lounge chair beside Xu Fan, and they watched the live stream together.

"In recent years, I’ve noticed that both the fortune of the Three Thousand Realms and the Chaotic Mist Area are favoring your Hidden Spirit Sect."

"Just look at how many capable disciples your sect has," Yuan Lord remarked enviously while watching the light curtain.

"Your Yuanshi Sect disciples are commendable too; many among them have the potential to reach the Great Saint level in the future."

Xu Fan gestured, and a wide road teapot appeared in the sky, pouring a cup of the tea of the wide road for each of them.

"That’s incomparable; all your Hidden Spirit Sect disciples were recruited from the Wood Origin Immortal Realm, with a few from neighboring Immortal Realms."

"But the Yuanshi Sect selects top disciples from across the Three Thousand Realms based on their qualifications and traits."

"Now, when the two sects’ disciples are compared, the difference is evident."
