Chapter 1384: Battle

The Great Saint-level chaotic beasts panicked as they sensed the surrounding space being sealed.

They then felt the power of the Chaotic Five Elements surrounding them in various forms.

A sea of magma began to form in the space.

Above the magma sea, various giant beasts materialized, formed from the Chaos Five Elements Path.

Five virtual images, radiating yin and yang and twisting like missiles, appeared behind the thousand-hand illusion.

However, Xu Gang quickly dispelled them.

Finding this group of Great Saint-level chaotic beasts wasn’t easy, and Xu Gang worried that acting too aggressively might wipe them all out at once.

Unable to break through the sealed space, the Great Saint-level chaotic beasts turned their attention to the thousand-hand illusion.

Four or five types of Power of the Chaotic Great Path merged into a primitive state, enveloping the thousand-hand illusion.

In an instant, the thousand-hand illusion transformed into a colorful cocoon, shrinking until it compressed into a twisting clump of fluff.

Seeing this, the leading chaotic beast’s face lit up with triumph, like a dog that had snatched a bone.

But their joy was short-lived, as another thousand-hand illusion emerged from the void.

At the same time, the golden sphere in the sky began to change shape.

Endless chaotic golden artifacts rained down, engulfing the chaotic beasts.

Wails and roars filled the air.

The Chaotic Great Path in the area began to destabilize.

Meanwhile, the sea of chaotic magma had spread to their location.

Countless giant hands reached out from the magma sea, grabbing at the chaotic giant beasts.

Several chaotic beasts were dragged into the magma sea before they could escape.

The remaining chaotic beasts were besieged by the giant beasts forming above the magma sea.

In the distance, the thousand-hand illusion held the clump of fluff, observing the chaotic beasts that had been subdued without Xu Gang exerting his full strength.

“Ti Zi, should I go find a chaotic saint-level giant beast to practice against?” Xu Gang asked.

“I recommend waiting until you reach the peak Great Saint level before challenging one,” Ti Zi replied.

Just then, Xu Gang felt the Chaotic Mist Area in the distance begin to tremble.

“A saint-level beast tide is erupting in the distance, heading toward the Three Thousand Realms.”

“The cause of the beast tide is the three stars ceasing their outward expansion.”

“I suggest you intercept the beast tide here,” Ti Zi advised.

Hearing there was work to do, Xu Gang had the thousand-hand illusion form seals with a hundred hands.

A beam of Chaotic Five Elements power, refined to perfection, shot out from his forehead.

The light swept across the group of Great Saint-level giant beasts.

Every beast struck by the beam was instantly reduced to pure chaotic aura.

After eliminating all the Great Saint-level beasts, Xu Gang lifted the lockdown.

In the distance, a chaotic beast tide surged like a wave in the Chaotic Mist Area.

“Ti Zi, infuse me with Primordial Purple Qi; I’m going to devour the entire beast tide!”

The thousand-hand illusion formed seals with all its hands simultaneously.

A massive wave, forged from the sea of magma, crashed toward the beast tide.

Then, tens of thousands of East Wind missiles, conjured from the Chaos Five Elements Path, shot toward the chaotic beast tide.

“But double it for me!”

Ten thousand-hand illusions appeared on either side, and all their hands formed seals at once.

The thrill of battling monsters instantly multiplied tenfold.

At that moment, several spatial gates materialized not far behind the thousand-hand illusion.

Hidden Spirit Sect Disciples began pouring out of the teleportation portals.

“Xu, Great Peak Master, don’t wipe them all out—leave some for us!”

Xiong Li shouted urgently as he watched the towering lava wave, clad in light armor, fearing that if he hesitated, there’d be nothing but scraps left.

The disciples emerging from the portals looked eagerly at Xu Gang.

Hearing Xiong Li’s plea, the towering lava wave began to shrink but still slammed into the beast tide.

In an instant, the tide’s size diminished by twenty percent.

“Sorry, I couldn’t hold back at the end,” Xu Gang said with a grin.

“No worries, something’s better than nothing.”

The Hidden Spirit Sect Disciples then surged toward the beast tide.

They quickly formed battle formations, and one after another, Chaotic Giants took shape.

“Why aren’t you joining in? Don’t your hands itch after advancing to Great Saint level?” Xu Gang asked Xiong Li, who stood beside him, avoiding the battlefield.

“After reaching Great Saint level, these saint-level giant beasts feel like soft, brittle toys in my hands—it’s no fun fighting them.”

“The Grand Elder said I should wait for that Body Refinement Elder to return and follow him,” Xiong Li explained, adding that he was just there to watch the spectacle.

“Directly taking on chaotic saint-level giant beasts? That’s impressive!” Xu Gang said, a hint of envy in his voice, as his fighting style wasn’t suited for hunting such beasts.

“I’m just learning from that elder; I might not even get the chance to fight them.”

As the two spoke, the beast tide shrank another ten percent.

Yet, Hidden Spirit Sect Disciples continued to pour out of the teleportation portals.

Seeing the beasts join the fray with excitement made it feel like a grand celebration.

Soon, more teleportation portals formed behind the two.

“Great, if all our sect brothers and sisters show up, no one will even get ten beasts,” Xiong Li remarked, watching the shrinking tide.

“For a beast tide of this scale, it’s enough to have some fun. If you really want a fight, form a team and explore the chaotic areas yourself,” Xu Gang suggested.

Just then, towering Great Saint-level giant beasts began to appear in the distance, instantly drawing everyone’s attention.

Seeing the Great Saint-level beasts, Xiong Li’s interest was piqued.

“Xu, Great Peak Master, I won’t be joining you any longer,” Xiong Li said as he flew toward the beast tide.

“Ti Zi, check if there are any chaotic saint-level giant beasts here,” Xu Gang instructed.

“There are three chaotic saint-level giant beasts hidden deep in the beast grass. I’ve arranged for powerful beings to keep an eye on them; as soon as they show themselves, we will strike decisively,” Ti Zi replied.

“Three chaotic saint-level giant beasts? I thought there would only be one,” Xu Gang said, surprised.

“The influence of the three stars shrinking is quite vast; these three chaotic saint-level giant beasts are just a small part of it.”

Just as Ti Zi was speaking, Xu Gang suddenly sensed two scorching powers appearing not far from the beast tide.

“Those must be the two chaotic saint realm strong beings, Xiao Guang and Xiao Yang, that Master summoned.”

Xu Gang held the highest authority in the Hidden Spirit Sect; aside from what Xu Fan had explicitly instructed, he had the right to view everything else.

“Correct.”

At that moment, the entire beast tide suddenly became restless.

A gigantic beast, as large as a giant whale, suddenly surged from the beast tide, opening its massive mouth and emitting a terrifying suction force, ready to devour the surrounding Hidden Spirit Sect Disciples.

However, before this devouring power could be unleashed, a holy light ray, exuding a terrifying aura, shot through the chaotic giant beast.

Finally, a holy light cage surrounded the giant beast and pulled it into the unknown void.

The fighting disciples hadn’t even reacted when two more rays of scorching holy sun light shot toward the beast tide.
