Chapter 1308 - 1306: Tide of Beasts
They were now even more terrified of Lin Feng. With such ease, he had slain the Earth Dragon Heaven Crocodile with just a casual gesture—this was far more powerful than before. If Lin Feng had displayed this level of power earlier, they would have been dead beyond saving...
This... this is my brother-in-law?!
Standing on his flying sword high in the air, Leng Hao stared at Lin Feng, utterly dumbfounded like a wooden puppet. A wave of complex emotions surged in his heart. He had always known Lin Feng was strong, but he never imagined Lin Feng had reached this level—slaying such a fearsome Demon Beast with the mere lift of his hand. This was a Demon Beast of the Divine Change Realm! Could it be... could this truly be the power of an Immortal? It was simply too unbelievable, so exaggerated it defied logic!
To be honest, Leng Hao was utterly shaken by the strength Lin Feng displayed. He had never truly understood what it meant for someone to achieve the Human Immortal Realm. Now, witnessing Lin Feng’s method of killing the Earth Dragon Heaven Crocodile firsthand, he finally grasped why those at the Human Immortal Realm were called Immortals—because their power was no longer within the scope of ordinary human control. Only when one reached that realm could they begin to comprehend its extraordinariness...
Cautiously presenting the Demon Core to Lin Feng, Lin Feng didn’t lift his hand to accept it. With a flick of his wrist, the Demon Core vanished on its own. Immediately, the two great Demon Kings shrank their bodies to miniature sizes and flew obediently onto Lin Feng’s shoulders like well-trained pets.
"Lin Feng, such powerful Demon Beasts are now appearing. What’s happening to the world? What will become of it?" Standing atop a Qi Cai cloud, Xia Lalan had witnessed the entire scene personally. She was awestruck by Lin Feng’s strength; she had never expected him to become so powerful—powerful enough to instantaneously annihilate such mighty Demon Beasts. It was simply unbelievable!
But what worried her even more was a pressing concern: Demon Beasts were suddenly emerging all across the world, even ones of this caliber. How could ordinary people in the Secular World possibly contend with them? If this continued, it would inevitably lead to disastrous consequences...
"Chaos will undoubtedly arise. All we can do is try our best, but we cannot force solutions. Everything in the world has its own rules; it’s best not to interfere too much. Let nature take its course." Lin Feng’s voice carried a sense of profound gravity as he responded to Xia Lalan’s concerns. "Every person has their own life; every person has their own fate. Such matters cannot be forced."
Xia Lalan nodded upon hearing Lin Feng’s words. She understood his reasoning, and what he said was true—if everyone relied solely on others, what would become of the world? Moreover, if such problems continued to escalate, it would be impossible for them to handle everything on their own. Others would have to face their own destinies.
Seeing that Xia Lalan understood his intentions, Lin Feng said no more. He quietly used his Divine Sense to summon Leng Hao, and the trio returned to the helicopter together to depart...
......
By the time Lin Feng and the others returned to Tianhai, it was already afternoon. What they hadn’t expected was to encounter someone as soon as they arrived at the villa—a person they were all very familiar with: Elder Xia Yunfeng from the Xia Family!
Xia Yunfeng had been waiting anxiously for some time. As soon as he saw Lin Feng and Xia Lalan return, he rushed forward in haste, exclaiming to them: "Lin Feng, Lanlan, something terrible has happened! The Hidden World is in grave danger, and the Xia Family may not survive this crisis!"
Xia Yunfeng was clearly overwhelmed with worry. By the time he left, the situation had already taken a dire turn. Now, he could only hope that Lin Feng and Xia Lalan could quickly return to the Hidden World to rescue the Xia Family in its moment of peril!
Hearing the urgency in Xia Yunfeng’s speech, Lin Feng’s brows furrowed slightly. Before he could say anything, Xia Lalan interjected anxiously, "Elder Yunfeng, what happened? Speak clearly—exactly what is going on?"
Xia Lalan’s heart was gripped with desperation. She knew Xia Yunfeng well, and his words clearly indicated that something major had happened in the Hidden World—something the Xia Family was unable to handle. Her family and grandfather were still in the Xia Family; if anything happened to them, how could she bear it?
"It’s the Lost Forest! Something major has happened there. For some reason, the Demon Beasts have all emerged and gathered at the forest’s edge. They seem to be preparing to attack our Xia Family! When I left, things were already very bad, but it seemed they hadn’t fully assembled yet, so the attack hadn’t started. The current situation—I don’t know what it’s like now!"
Xia Yunfeng couldn’t hold back any longer and immediately explained the situation. Truth be told, he was at a loss as to the Xia Family’s current condition. The sheer number of Demon Beasts—each one above the Transcendent Realm—was utterly overwhelming. Even with the Xia Family’s strength and its Protective Law Formation, they couldn’t hold out against an assault of this scale. The Demon Beasts had practically formed a massive ocean, and what awaited the Xia Family was unimaginable...
Lin Feng was surprised to hear Xia Yunfeng’s words. He hadn’t expected the Demon Beasts of the Lost Forest to rebel—this caught him off guard. Wasn’t that territory under the control of the two great Demon Kings? Even though they were now following him, it shouldn’t have led to such chaos there. Lin Feng couldn’t help but wonder what had gone wrong.
"How could this be!"
"This is impossible; they wouldn’t have the guts to do this!"
The two great Demon Kings were visibly startled by Xia Yunfeng’s account. They couldn’t believe that the problem in the Hidden World was related to the Demon Beasts of the Lost Forest—their former domain. Both of them fell into stunned silence, uncertain of how this could have happened; their subordinates had never dared to disobey their orders before!
"There is no such thing as impossible. We definitely didn’t misjudge the situation. The Family Head and the Patriarch, seeing the impending crisis, sent me here to find you before things escalate further. They hope you will return to save the Xia Family. If a battle truly breaks out, the Xia Family won’t be able to withstand it."
Xia Yunfeng’s urgency was palpable. As he spoke, his eyes filled with tears. The Xia Family was on the brink of annihilation, and he couldn’t bear to waste any time.
At this point, Lin Feng knew that the situation had already shifted into critical territory. Regardless of the details, the Xia Family in the Hidden World had to be saved. Determined, Lin Feng replied, "Elder Yunfeng, don’t worry. We’ll return to the Hidden World immediately."
Without further delay, Lin Feng used his Divine Sense to summon the children to gather. He also contacted Huang Shi to arrange for the same aircraft they had used before, intending to leave with Xia Yunfeng as quickly as possible.
Lin Feng couldn’t help but think it was time to bring the children back for a visit to the Hidden World. Despite being suitable for their cultivation here, it was good to reconnect with their roots occasionally—especially given the gravity of the current crisis, which would certainly unsettle the children if they were to remain uninformed.
The children showed up quickly after being summoned. Lin Feng used his Divine Sense to notify Ding Wan’er and Leng Mei of his departure to the Hidden World, and then led everyone aboard the aircraft, heading straight for the Hidden World’s outskirts.
With Lin Feng present, entering the Hidden World posed no difficulty. The group swiftly traversed the dimensional threshold, and once inside, Lin Feng unleashed the two great Demon Kings to clear the way. Any Demon Beasts encountered along the route were driven off in terror. Without interference, their pace was rapid!
But just as they neared the Xia Family, standing several mountain ranges away, they were met with thunderous, earth-shaking roars from Demon Beasts and the deafening sounds of fierce combat. Everyone’s expressions darkened—there was no doubt that a battle had already begun between the Demon Beasts and the Xia Family!
Xia Yunfeng and Xia Lalan both panicked at the realization, urging the children to hasten their pace toward the Xia Family without delay.
Rushing to the extreme, they soon reached the peak of a mountain nearest to the Xia Family. When the group looked down from the summit, the scene before them left them all dumbfounded, frozen in place and speechless...
The valley below was teeming with Demon Beasts, turning the area into a sea of monsters. These beasts were swarming relentlessly against the Xia Family, which had activated its Protective Law Formation. Xia Family members fought desperately, engaging in brutal combat with the attackers.
The Demon Beasts seemed maddened beyond reasoning; their eyes glowed red, their bloodthirsty roars shaking the valley and reverberating like the rumblings of a catastrophic earthquake. The ground trembled ceaselessly under the onslaught.
The battlefield was strewn with corpses—both of Demon Beasts and fallen Xia Family members. Rivers of blood flowed freely, painting the scene in overwhelming carnage. Despite their deep, bone-revealing injuries, the Xia Family continued to resist. But anyone with discernment could see—it was only a matter of time before they failed to hold out.
What are these traitorous little bastards!
Have they all gone insane? Just what on earth is this madness?
The sight left the two great Demon Kings on Lin Feng’s shoulders utterly stunned. They couldn’t comprehend how their former subordinates had reached this extreme—disobeying orders to launch such an assault. Could it be that these creatures had truly gone rogue?
Both Demon Kings were completely taken aback. Under their previous rule, the Demon Beasts of the Lost Forest—though powerful—had always maintained order, never daring to act recklessly. Now, chaos had erupted in their absence. Following Lin Feng hadn’t taken long for this to happen, and it left them irate and humiliated.
Yet, they didn’t dare to act without Lin Feng’s command; they simply awaited his orders. If Lin Feng permitted action, they wouldn’t hesitate to strike at their erstwhile subordinates—teaching them a harsh lesson for failing to uphold discipline. The lack of control over these ordinary beasts was deeply embarrassing in front of Lin Feng.
My heavens!
So many Demon Beasts!
What... what on earth is happening?
...
The children were utterly paralyzed by the sight, overcome with shock. None of them had ever imagined Demon Beasts would mount an attack on the Xia Family of this magnitude. The sheer terror of the scene—beasts sprawling across the skies and ground—left them confused and frightened. What was happening? How could the Xia Family endure such an onslaught? What could be done? Why had things come to this...
"My heavens... it’s... a Beast Tide..." Xia Yunfeng muttered in horror as he took in the scene, his face ashen. He stood frozen in place, overcome by despair. Though he had sensed grave danger earlier, he had never imagined it would escalate into the legendary Beast Tide. Beasts filled the landscape, attacking from sky and earth alike. It was the worst kind of assault imaginable, one that was recorded historically as having wiped out entire populations in the Hidden World. Seeing this unfold once again, Xia Yunfeng felt a chill engulf his soul—absolute hopelessness. No one could survive such fury...
