"The situation with the devil beasts in the mountains lately seems a bit off!" Having just killed a devil beast, Li Zhirui couldn't help feeling uneasy about the past few days. He didn't know what was going on, but in recent days, the devil beasts had become increasingly aggressive and irritable. Sometimes, they would attack even when he was just passing by. Their strength had also increased significantly. The opponents he had picked for Xiaoqing had nearly severely injured him several times. Given the situation, Li Zhirui didn't dare linger in the mountain range. So, after dealing with the devil beast, he immediately turned and flew away from Great Snow Mountain. After he returned to the marketplace, he was surprised to find that the number of cultivators had substantially increased. Connecting this to the situation in the mountains, Li Zhirui instantly guessed what would happen soon. Beast tide! A beast tide was about to erupt in Great Snow Mountain! Read exclusive adventures at My Virtual Library Empire The cultivators' discussions in the streets confirmed Li Zhirui's guess—they all intended to take advantage of the beast tide to hunt more devil beasts and earn resources to enhance their strength. However, Li Zhirui also learned from them that the beast tide of Great Snow Mountain was somewhat different from that of the Boundless Sea. The former primarily aimed to devour cultivators to increase their own cultivation and, incidentally, hunt mortals for food. Therefore, it would erupt every few years. There was even an instance where it erupted consecutively for more than a decade, year after year. The latter, due to the abundant resources of the Boundless Sea and the relatively smaller number of cultivators at sea, combined with the faster reproduction rate of Water Devils compared to their land counterparts, meant that the purpose of a Water Devil beast tide was mainly to cull their numbers with the help of cultivators and then to select worthy younger generations for nurturing. In other words, the beast tide of Great Snow Mountain was extremely dangerous. The death of Foundation Establishment cultivators was an exceedingly common occurrence, and sometimes even third-level devil beasts would come down the mountain to capture cultivators. As for this marketplace, it's impossible to say how many times it's been destroyed by beast tides. But dangerous as it was, the gains were also substantial, or else these cultivators wouldn't be rushing here now, seeking to secure good positions. After listening to the discussions, Li Zhirui felt somewhat tempted—not for the spirit materials from the devil beasts, but for the opportunity to polish his own mana and solidify his foundation. Roar! The devil beasts, looking at the city wall blocking their path, howled at the sky and began their attack. The Long-haired Snow Pigs roared, condensing ice crystal spears, Cold Wolves gathered blades of the cold moon in their mouths, and the Ice Fang Giant Tigers opened their mouths wide as Vengeful Ghosts attacked the city wall. Although the city wall had several third-order Formations in place, it began to wobble quickly under the joint attack of tens of thousands of devil beasts, with protective shields trembling and walls shaking as if they would collapse at any moment. Of course, the numerous cultivators could not let them continue to wreak havoc like this, and they all struck out to attack the devil beasts. Li Zhirui, with a grave expression, condensed the frost and snow into a vicious Ice Dragon dozens of feet long and lunged forward. Xiaoqing flapped her wings, rolling up the snow on the ground into a blizzard that swept toward the Beast Tide. Da Qing, on the other hand, cast layer upon layer of defenses to protect the three of them in case of any unexpected incidents. This unforeseen event referred to the cultivators nearby. When the nearby cultivators saw Li Zhirui's signature spell, they immediately recognized his identity, but in this situation, they did not have time to care about others and turned back to focus on the devil beasts before them. First-order devil beasts were nothing but clay dogs crumbling under the Ice Dragon, hardly withstanding a few large-scale attacks before falling. But the second-order devil beasts were not so easy to deal with—a Long-haired Pig with a massive body actually stopped the Ice Dragon with its robust physique and wrestled with it! Xiaoqing's blizzard was shattered by a White Jade Snow Sculpture, and if it weren't for Li Zhirui's request for him not to leave the city wall defense, Xiaoqing would have probably charged out to fight the Snow Sculpture by now. Li Zhirui, with a grave expression, controlled the Ice Dragon, and his opponent, the gigantic Long-haired Pig, turned out to be at the late stage of Foundation Establishment! That meant he could not resolve the opponent unless he used all his strength. However, Li Zhirui's main purpose in participating in the defense against the Beast Tide was to make his Mana more solid; the harvest was not so important, so he still maintained his early-stage strength, struggling to battle the Pig Devil. But during this process, Li Zhirui could feel the Mana in his Sea of Magic becoming a bit more solid. As for the other cultivators, their goal was the first-order devil beasts, the Spirit Materials on their bodies, so they dealt with them quite easily.
