Luo Yaxuan can't take his wife out; only some of the prominent figures from their bases were invited to venture out!

Some pregnant women and necessary management personnel had to stay behind!

As for those who have just started cultivating, whose abilities are only at the Qi Refinement or Foundation Establishment stages, they all had to stay behind!

Some bases must remain, with certain people creating wealth within them!

With so many monsters appearing outside the Cultivation Heaven Realm, it's evident that the Vitality Grass planted at their base must be expanded!

The Ten Great Clans and a few friendly Immortal Sects with Jiang Tang received the Vitality Grass from him when he had visited them.

Although the yield isn't high, it is already harvestable, and these Vitality Flower Essences can restore life when those monsters lay waste to the greenery!

Luo Yaxuan doesn't know how long he will be out this time, with danger outside, of course, he can't bring his newly pregnant wife along!

His junior sister is unwilling to stay and is constantly protesting!

Luo Yaxuan, to ensure his wife settles down a bit, also decided to leave his mother-in-law behind!

The batch heading out with them includes his father-in-law, who must also go along!

It's unknown how long it will take, but they'll remain in contact!

Lai Jianlin prioritizes his heavily pregnant wife, with the outside being so dangerous, it would be even more unsafe to send her back to the clan!

Lai Jianlin, worried about the fearsome monsters, feels concerned for his clan members, especially since there are elderly and children in the clan whose abilities aren't as strong as theirs!

Many people have ventured out, worrying the clan might encounter monsters!

The monsters can't enter the bases, making the bases actually the safest places!

Luo Yaxuan is similarly worried, discussing with Lai Jianlin; they decide to first return to the clan and bring everyone from the shops and mission sites back to the base!

Initially, they had considered that their clan's location, while possibly obtaining some resources, wasn't very lucrative!

It's better for them to be at the base, where they can cultivate, farm, and benefit from the abundant energy, allowing those with low ability to quickly enhance their skills during missions!

Two years ago, many working at clan shops or various regions were engaged in tasks without any hope of cultivation; some couldn't even cultivate, becoming shopkeepers, assistants, servants, or miners.

In the past two years, since they joined the Saint Sect, some in the clan who couldn't cultivate can now, and some whose abilities had plateaued might still not see improvement in their lifetime!

They are all hopeful for skill improvement, eagerly cultivating!

A place with low spiritual energy offers little in terms of growth!

Luo Yaxuan, Lai Jianlin, Jiang Shao'an, and their respective clans, bringing along several people, head back to Immortal Lord City in droves.

They've already informed the Ten Great Clans about relocating their families before going after the monsters!

Xuanyuan Mengting and some women, the highest cultivators among the women, also holding the most ability and authority at the base!

They live in different residential bases, and for this mission against the monsters, they lead the team out to support.

The teams are divided into two groups, departing from three bases!

Once Luo Yaxuan's group leaves the base, they immediately notice a black mist in the sky not far away!

The area beneath the mist is a settlement, only about a hundred miles away!

Seeing the dark mist from this height indicates the enemy had already been in the area they are approaching!

Luo Yaxuan, visibly grave, is flying along with others on a flying artifact, with the Echo Magical Treasure capable of covering over a hundred miles per hour.

Their grave demeanor comes from fearing that by the time they reach the site of the black mist, it may have been annihilated!

The town in question also has some cultivators!

But the local cultivators lack significant power!

The town is populated mainly with ordinary people and a few minor clans!

About several tens of miles out from town, however, lies a Major Sect.

This Major Sect, called the Beast Taming Gate, specializes in breeding and training beasts and practices Beast Taming cultivation techniques!

They also raise beasts to sell, increasing their resources for cultivation, like pills or equipment!

Luo Yaxuan wasn't aware, but the monsters appeared near the town as they were aiming for the Beast Taming Gate!

These monsters consume beasts to boost their abilities, finding beasts much tastier than human flesh!

The dark mist they emit is a means to destroy greenery, not out of a desire to eat green substances!

Greenery allows them to absorb Wood energy!

This is a type of vitality energy that, once absorbed, enhances their body's functioning, preventing a halt when utilizing the dark mist!

Luo Yaxuan's flying device carries some of his companions.

People from different clans traveled on different flying magical treasures!

While each could use individual magical treasures, they preferred clustering in a single one to consolidate power against attacks!

Ensuring they won't be overcome by monsters one by one!

These flying magical treasures could independently absorb energy for counterattacks!

Upon reaching the town, they initially spotted some greenery, but once at the town center, all foliage had long withered!

A previous journey through this town revealed people on the streets and in shops!

However, this time, not a hint of a merchant's presence existed!

The place seemed devoid of life!

Some shops still displayed their goods!

Eerily, the people had vanished!

A black mist still lingered in the town's air!

Luo Yaxuan and the clan members realized the monsters might have devoured the inhabitants!

They're likely still nearby, and while searching for the monster's whereabouts!

Masses of dark mist materialized, resembling an enormous, beastly form surging toward their flying artifacts.

Though dark mist spanned the sky, it coalesced into numerous flying beasts, opening cavernous, bloody maws intending to devour their flying devices!

Luo Yaxuan and his allies counterattacked!

Among them, everyone utilized different spells!

Luo Yaxuan used the Thunder and Lightning Spell, stirring winds and lightning to obliterate the dark masses!

From past experience, he'd known monsters feared Thunder and Lightning the most!

Everyone was of the same thought, considering monsters most fearful of mud slides, freezing, and burning!

But most feared was Thunder and Lightning, and Luo Yaxuan alone wielded the Thunder and Lightning Spell!

Others had lightning talismans, feverishly throwing them without concern for cost!

"Rumble, rumble"

Thunder echoed, bolts of Heavenly Thunder crashed down, dispersing the black mist.

Hitting the monsters filled the air with sizzling sounds.

It felt like electricity striking solid objects, hum of crackling energy!

The monsters emitted no cries of agony, the lightning merely scattered the black substance!

Luo Yaxuan found it odd that the monsters' bodies seemed elusive, the dark mist possibly just an extension they controlled!

His hypothesizing proved correct, the dark mist was merely controlled vapors from a particular creature!

Capable of swallowing and absorbing objects!

What they consumed was stored in the monsters' hoarding space!

Those appearing huge were actually minimal in size!

What appeared large were mere transformations!

Luo Yaxuan's location harbored alien creatures from outer space, belonging to a distant planet!

They appeared here inadvertently, a portal between their planet and this world opening unexpectedly!

The stranded creatures reached this part of the Cultivation World, the rift above yet to close!
