The beast tide erupted, and terrifying auras rose from various regions.

The three of them, including Ye Chen, who were close to the exact location of the Earth Essence on the map, stopped and crouched low in the grass.

Fatty's face turned pale.

Luo Tian's thick eyebrows twitched.

Only Ye Chen remained calm. For him, the sole purpose of coming here was to find Gu Tong and kill!

He wanted that old dog Gu Yue to understand what it meant to suffer the pain of losing a loved one!

"Boom boom boom!"

A giant elephant, as large as a mountain, walked past the area where Ye Chen and his group were hiding.

This giant elephant was covered in long hair, and its two tusks glinted with a metallic sheen.

Every step it took caused the ground in this area to tremble.

"That's the Elephant King, one of the five Demon Kings of the Luoyao Mountain Range, possessing immense strength," Fatty whispered, quietly grabbing a handful of grass to cover his head.

If the Elephant King discovered them, even his abundant flesh wouldn't withstand it.

"Swoosh!"

Suddenly, a hundred-zhang-long Sword Qi appeared, striking towards the giant elephant.

The giant elephant swung its trunk, wrapped around that Sword Qi, and with a powerful twist, the Sword Qi shattered.

"Moo!"

The giant elephant let out an angry roar, and from its long trunk, a fierce wind gusted, causing the surrounding space to tremble continuously.

This fierce wind landed on a distant mountain.

"Boom!"

The mountain exploded, but no rubble scattered; instead, it transformed directly into dust.

Three middle-aged men shot out from the dust, surrounding the giant elephant.

Their appearances looked extremely disheveled.

"Elephant King, we are members of the Celestial Sword Sect here to take care of some matters. We hope the Elephant King will give the Celestial Sword Sect some respect," the leader shouted solemnly.

However, the Elephant King had no intention of showing respect, suddenly stamping the ground with its elephant leg.

A huge mass of earth and stone shot up, forming a mountain, crashing towards the person from the Celestial Sword Sect who had shouted.

"Boom!"

The person from the Celestial Sword Sect was struck, leaving their whole body cracked and blood splattering.

The other two middle-aged men from the Celestial Sword Sect, seeing this, unleashed their strongest power, slashing at the Elephant King!

The Elephant King suddenly turned, its tusks, gleaming with a metallic luster, transformed into two crescent moons, shooting out rapidly.

The Sword Qi slashed by those two middle-aged men from the Celestial Sword Sect shattered, and then they quickly retreated, holding their swords in front of them.

"Boom boom!"

The swords in their hands shattered into pieces, and their bodies flew like kites with broken strings!

"Elephant King, stop it, don't go too far!"

At this moment, another person from the Celestial Sword Sect flew out, an elder with a powerful aura.

However, the Elephant King was utterly unapologetic, swinging its trunk fiercely at the elder.

Aside from this.

More great demons appeared around.

The hidden elites of the Celestial Sword Sect continuously revealed themselves!

Hiding in the distance, their auras restrained as much as possible, the three of them, though only Ye Chen appeared calm.

Fatty and Luo Tian were all feeling a sense of lingering fear.

The Celestial Sword Sect had arranged so many powerful beings here to collect Earth Essence. It's fortunate the beast tide broke out. Otherwise, if the three of them had barged in, they would have faced certain death.

"Don't you think it's strange?"

Fatty kept his voice very low, like a mosquito buzzing.

Ye Chen gently nodded.

Indeed, it was strange.

For these beasts to go mad at this time, it's too much of a coincidence.

Could it be that someone is secretly helping?

A name appeared in the minds of Ye Chen and Fatty simultaneously.

Dongfang Xiu!

That insidious guy dressed in strange red clothes!

Could it really be him causing all this commotion?

If it really was Dongfang Xiu, then this guy would be terrifyingly formidable!

Ye Chen thought no more, as he had already set his eyes on a particular area.

That area was guarded by a large array, and earlier, many people from the Celestial Sword Sect had rushed out from that array.

No matter if there was Earth Essence here or not, it was certain there must be something very important here. Otherwise, the Celestial Sword Sect wouldn't bother to arrange so many strong individuals here.

The array set by the Celestial Sword Sect already had numerous cracks.

Ye Chen was inclined to act.

Fatty hurriedly placed a hand on Ye Chen's shoulder, whispering, "Brother Ye, have you really thought it through?"

Ye Chen replied, "The Celestial Sword Sect has already lost many strong individuals. There shouldn't be any more inside. If there were, in such a situation, they would have come out."

At this critical juncture.

While taking revenge is important, Ye Chen also understood the gravity of the situation. If he truly had no assurance, he would leave, but now, there's an opportunity!

"Let's give it a shot!"

Ye Chen continued, "Lure a beast inside and see what happens!"

Fatty said, "This method is good!"

Why didn't I think of such a simple method?

Was I really that scared?

Looks like Ye Chen still has brains.

Of course, the most crucial thing was Ye Chen's calm mindset during this crisis, which was most astonishing.

Even the Demon Kings were fighting.

A group of great demons ran out.

Even those in the Elemental Wheel Realm would tremble and dare not move.

Yet Ye Chen remained so composed, truly commendable.

Moments later.

The three arrived beside the cracked array. Fatty tossed some pills through the cracks.

Moments later.

An eagle, attracted by the energy of the pills, rushed into the array.

A few screams echoed from within the array.

A strong individual from the Celestial Sword Sect immediately rushed to help, dashing into the array, and moments later, emerged covered in bird blood and feathers, charging back into battle.

Ye Chen and Fatty exchanged a glance.

There was hope!

As for Luo Tian, at this moment, his thoughts were inconsequential.

This foolish child probably had no thoughts.

Then, the three of them quietly entered the array.

......

At the same time.

Dongfang Xiu was fleeing for his life.

The bright red clothes on him had become even brighter.

As he ran, the blood on his clothes also spilled.

The situation escalated, making it difficult to resolve!

Even he hadn't expected that after the egg cracked, it would cause such a huge commotion.

A miscalculation.

"Roar!"

A black leopard, shrouded in electric light, appeared before him, opening its mouth to spew a thunderous light as thick as a water bucket.

"Boom!"

A bloody hole was instantly blasted through Dongfang Xiu's abdomen, causing his body to stagger and fall to the ground.

A fourth-tier Lightning Leopard!

"Am I going to play myself to death this time?" Dongfang Xiu gave a bitter smile, and in the next moment, three silver spirit seals flew from his forehead, with four different elemental powers blasting at the Lightning Leopard.

The Lightning Leopard trembled violently from the attack.

Dongfang Xiu's figure flashed, appearing beside the Lightning Leopard, a blood-colored long sword suddenly appearing in his hand, sweeping the sword horizontally, slicing the Lightning Leopard's body in two!

"Boom!"

Another terrifying force detonated at Dongfang Xiu's feet.

Dongfang Xiu was blown up, coughing blood profusely.

A giant python with a diameter of several meters was charging over.

The terrifying force that had just exploded was spewed by this python.

Dongfang Xiu looked carefully, seeing a bulging meatball on the python's head.

This was a sign of transforming into a flood dragon!

"Even the fifth-tier great demon has arrived..."

Dongfang Xiu's mouth twitched, at this moment, he even wanted to curse himself.

Truly, he played too far, completely out of control.

Crying was useless.

The priority was escape!
