The battlefield had long fallen into chaos.
The vanguard lines clashed violently with the wave of Demonic Beasts, steel and claws ringing together in a deafening rhythm.
Explosions of Qi, screams, battle cries, and beastly roars mixed into a storm of noise that swallowed everything.
Support teams stood behind, healing, throwing talismans, firing arrows, or using formations.
Others had also joined the Bai, Zhao, and Li Clans in Vanguard to deal with the never-ending Demonic Beasts.
But even then, they were overwheld-Demonic Beasts responded far more aggressively than predicted, coordinating unnaturally well, almost as if commanded by a strategic commander.
It was a full-scale war.
A Heaven Sword Sect disciple swung his blade again and again, managing to pin down a Grade-8 Demonic Beast.
"Rong! Help finish this!"
He shouted to the companion beside him.
But Rong did not move.
Instead, he stood frozen-eyes wide, mouth slightly agape, staring at sothing in the distance.
"Tch!"
The disciple clicked his tongue and, through sheer effort and desperation, cut down the beast himself.
He whipped around, furious.
"What the hell are you doing?! You almost got killed! Where are you even looking?!"
Rong didn't answer.
His lips trembled.
His hand slowly rose and pointed forward.
"Look!"
The disciple turned-
And his entire body locked in place.
There-
Not far beyond the frontline, past the corpses of toppled beasts, an unbelievable sight unfolded:
A lone young man-slender and dressed in blood-stained robes-laughing wildly as he carved through Grade-9 Demonic Beasts like weeds.
One laugh, one kill.
Two laughs, two kills.
It was as if his sword moved faster every ti he smiled.
A Thunder-Horned Ape roared and swung its massive arm-
Shing!
Its arm flew into the air.
Shing!
Its head followed.
A Fla-Scaled Direwolf lunged with fangs blazing-
Crack!
Its jaw shattered before it even reached Bai Zihan.
Every beast-a towering monster that even the Top-3 Clan Elders struggled to suppress-fell in a single breath when confronted by him.
Many were entranced by that scene, including the Elders in the Void
Refinent Realm.
It was like the battlefield had co to a halt, with many people's attention on Bai Zihan.
After all, who wouldn't be stunned by a teenager hunting down Grade-9 Demonic Beasts-one of the strongest-as if they were common animals? Even the Demonic Beasts themselves felt fear and hesitation after all the slaughter.
Bai Xueqing was also stunned by Bai Zihan's strength. She had long ago admitted that Bai Zihan was stronger than her, but not to this extent.
Not only her, but every disciple and Clan mber who once thought of competing with Bai Zihan felt the sa.
Even those 20 years older couldn't help but admit that they could never catch up to Bai Zihan.
His strength was already at the level of the Elders-no, perhaps even the Clan Leader.
Only those in the Great Ascension Realm could ever fight like this.
The Sect Leaders and Clan Leaders who were commanding from behind were
also shocked when they saw the scene.
Bai Tianheng couldn't be more excited.
"This brat... how can he leave his group behind and fight alone?"
While it seed like he was scolding Bai Zihan, the excitent in his voice and face betrayed the true aning behind his words.
It was only years ago when he still thought of Bai Zihan as a troublemaker who lacked the actual strength to survive, but now, he was slaughtering Demonic
Beasts like they were nothing.
Li Jianhong and Zhao Wutian's jaws almost fell.
Even those Clan and Sect who had nothing to do with Bai Clan felt awe and fear
when they saw Bai Zihan.
Each and every rumor that they heard about Bai Zihan wasn't exaggeration, it was underestimation.
Many thought that Bai Zihan was a weakling since he didn't even participate in Dragon and Phoenix Competition including the competitors.
But now, they felt relieved that Bai Zihan didn't participate. Otherwise, what
they would have felt wouldn't be helplessness but despair.
They wouldn't even have guts to co to the arena if their opponent was Bai
Zihan.
No doubt Bai Zihan has beco the center of the battlefield.
Bai Zihan, on the other hand, was just busy counting the System Points that he
has gained.
"25... 26th!"
Which ant he earned 2600 System Points. Well, it wasn't even enough to buy Earth-Grade Technique but Bai Zihan's wasn't discouraged.
He just thought of this as a start!
"Co!"
Bai Zihan declared as Demonic Beasts backed off from Bai Zihan.
Unlike before, slaughtering Grade-9 Demonic Beasts had seriously shifted the
battle in humanity's favor.
With the number of Grade-9 Demonic Beasts significantly reduced, it gave Void Refinent Realm Elders the power to handle the other, weaker Demonic
Beasts.
And in this way, the battle was slowly turning in humanity's favor.
Perhaps the Demonic Beasts have sensed that.
ROOOOAAAAR!
The roar tore through the battlefield like a shockwave.
Every cultivator-human or beast-felt their bones shudder.
Even the vicious Grade-9 Demonic Beasts froze mid-movent, their bodies instinctively lowering as if pressured by a predator.
The ground cracked.
The sky dimd.
A suffocating aura rolled across the plains like a collapsing mountain.
"G-Grade... Grade-10 Demonic Beasts!"
Soone whispered with a trembling voice.
The battlefield, which had just started shifting in humanity's favor thanks to Bai
Zihan's rciless slaughter, instantly turned heavy again.
From the depths of the Demonic Beast horde, massive silhouettes began
erging.
First one.
Then another.
Then another!
Each step they took made the earth groan.
Their presence alone twisted the air, distorting spiritual Qi and making even Spirit Severing Realm and Void Refinent cultivators choke for breath. A colossal Hellridge Basilisk, its scales glowing like molten iron.
A towering Ancient Bloodmane Lion, each exhale shaking debris off the ground.
A four-winged Storm Devouring Roc, crackling with lightning that scorched the
air.
More and more Grade-10 Demonic Beasts made their appearance.
The battlefield instantly tensed.
Even Elders in the Void Refinent Realm felt sweat sliding down their
temples.
Grade-10 Demonic Beasts...
These were monsters only Great Ascension Realm experts could face.
