The Way of The Dao

Roar!

Roars began to be heard near where the two of them were.

Ling Tian released his spiritual sense and was surprised.

Both were surrounded by over 50 demon beasts in the Fifth Stage of Chi Gathering. There were only less than 10 demon beasts in the Sixth Stage.

Swoosh!

Ling Tian moved instantly to Yun Mengxin's side, hugging her waist and moving her around, preventing an attack by a claw of a demon beast from hurting her.

Yun Mengxin's heart beat madly as she was held by Ling Tian. This was the first time a man touched her, more so, the man she had feelings for...

Because they were both in a dangerous situation, she tried to focus on the present.

Ling Tian frowned as he saw the situation.

Did a horde of demonic beasts form so quickly and reach out to them?

By the time Ling Tian had arrived, he had seen that only a few demon beasts were within considerable distance. But now, a large demon horde was stalking them.

Suddenly, the demon beasts began to turn and retreat. They no longer cared about Ling Tian and Yun Mengxin. All the demon beasts left, as if there was something to attract them from a distance.

What's going on?

Ling Tian released Yun Mengxin's waist while he continued to think about what was happening.

"Hurry back to your house, I'll go see what's going on. Don't worry, I've already made sure there's no demon beast on the way back..." Ling Tian released his spiritual sense and made sure that Yun Mengxin did not encounter any demonic beasts on her return. She should not use her inner strength for now.

Yun Mengxin hesitated when she heard what Ling Tian said, but in the end she nodded, "B-be careful..." she asked him to be careful where the demon beasts went.

Ling Tian nodded and smiled. He began to follow the trail of the demon horde.

Yun Mengxin didn't leave until she could no longer see Ling Tian's back in the dark.

If only she had the strength, she could help him...

Yun Mengxin renewed her spirit and decided to be stronger. So, she could help him instead of escaping.

She immediately left.

Ling Tian quickly followed the trail of the demon beasts.

He noticed the presence of more demon beasts, so he drew his sword and flew to the sky, wanting to observe the situation of the demon horde.

Huh?

Ling Tian was stunned by what he saw.

Dozens of demon beasts gathered around each other, as if wanting to crush one another. Bits of flesh and blood permeated the surroundings.

The demon beasts roared and continued to conglomerate with one another.

In time, more than 300 demonic beasts came to the site.

Ling Tian had released his spiritual sense, exploring this strange situation.

Although he had already faced demonic beasts most of his life as he traveled between different worlds and planes, he had never encountered such events.

Crack

But...

What!!!

At this point, he was witnessing the environment start to wobble, as if space was being torn apart.

CRACK!

CRACK!

CRACK!

Space cracks were beginning to appear on several sides, near the entire conglomeration of the demonic horde.

Dozens of demonic beasts began to emerge from these cracks, as if trying to pass quickly to this side, regardless of whether they killed other, lesser demonic beasts.

Ling Tian was stunned when he saw all this, he had never seen this result before.

Demon beasts tearing through the void and entering another plane?

He had only witnessed the demonic beasts entering another world, but using a teleportation formation, which connected the passage between the two worlds.

But now...

Space was tearing apart!

The horde of demon beasts amounted to over 700 demon beasts... at this rate, it would be almost a thousand...

Slash!

Ling Tian sent his sword to a demon beast that had just left the place. It was heading the way he came. He had no choice but to kill it quickly to prevent it from reaching Yun Mengxin.

Most of the demon beasts were only in the Fourth or Fifth Stage of Chi Gathering. There were over 100 demon beasts in the Sixth Stage. Less than 100 in the Seventh Stage. Only a few dozen between Eighth and Ninth Stages.

Ling Tian knew that if he let these demon beasts go, the star city would perish. Its highest defender was barely in the Eighth Stage. Long Cheng could not face the dozens of demon beasts above the Eighth Stage of Chi Gathering alone...

The space calmed down, so the demon beasts stopped coming out.

A thousand demon beasts were on the scene.

Ling Tian started his slaughter.

Slash

Fwoosh

Roar

Slash

Groar

Cuts and pieces of meat were flying around the place. A blade swung in the air and cut through the demon beasts, killing them in an instant.

These demon beasts were below the level of Chi Gathering, so with the immortal strength of Ling Tian, it was easy for him to quickly kill these demon beasts using only his sword.

In less than an hour, Ling Tian was in the air, watching the great horde of demonic beasts being annihilated, while he controlled his sword and killed them continuously, never failing.

He eliminated all the demonic beasts that were found from the Seventh Stage of Chi Gathering, so it took a little time.

He was not going to be a complete fool to get rid of all the demonic beasts on his own. He just lightened the burden that the star city would face. If they could not defend themselves from those remaining demon beasts, then their fate was miserable.

In the end, just over 500 demon beasts remained. The strongest of them were only the Sixth Stage of Chi Gathering, so they would not be a real threat to the star city.

Ling Tian sighed as he watched the scene.

This reminded him of when he was in that world trapped for over 8,000 years. Thousands and millions of demonic beasts kept appearing constantly, without giving him any rest. On several occasions he almost lost his life in that world.

He kept thinking about these strange events that were happening...

How could space be torn apart and let these demon beasts into this plane?

Ling Tian knew there were two ways a space tear could be made.

The first would be if one had enough strength to be able to break the void with one's own strength.

Ling Tian had already broken space several times with his immortal strength when he was in his prime, when he was in the legendary highest realm of the immortal world.

The second way, would be that the plane or void where one wanted to break, its structure is weak or is decreasing with time, so it would take much less strength to be able to break the void.

It could be that...

Is this lower plane getting weaker?

And the only way the world will begin to weaken is when its Laws of Heaven and Earth begin to fall...

The world, the plane, the affected plane will begin to weaken little by little until it alters the Laws completely and makes the place uninhabitable, consuming itself and disappearing into the endless void...
