In the livestream, comments kept popping up one after another.
"What a tall ancient tree, I almost thought I was seeing the mythical Jianmu!"
"By the way, doesn't this tree also fall into the category of fierce beasts?"
"Oh my... this is the power of the beast tide, how could the Human Federation possibly win..."
"It's over, it's over!"
Many people's faces turned pale with fear at the sight of the beast tide. The terror in their eyes was undeniable.
Although these were just images on the livestream, they could still feel the dread of the beast tide.
Giant beasts, tens or even hundreds of meters tall, were like walking mountains, giving people a strong visual impact.
In the livestream, looking out, there was an overwhelming number of fierce beasts, showcasing the terror of the beast tide.
Especially some evolutionaries, upon seeing such a scene, couldn't help but shudder.
Ignorance knows no fear.
Those who have not become true evolutionaries, who have not truly dealt with fierce beasts, will never understand the might of these creatures.
...
In a particular mansion, a handsome young man was watching the livestream.
"Why would the Federation broadcast such a scene?"
Xu Bo's handsome face was full of solemnity. Upon closer inspection, one could even spot an imperceptible hint of fear.
As a second-tier evolutionary, he had encountered fierce beasts more than once or twice and could estimate their strength just from their size in the video.
At this moment.
A tall, beautiful woman with sexy red lips walked in from outside. Her long, straight legs were enticing, dressed in professional attire.
"Latest information has it that the ancient tree in the Kunlun Mountain Range possesses considerable strength. The Federation's reason for withdrawing everyone to the eighth war zone is to use the Kunlun Mountain Range as a barrier to block the beast tide!"
As Xu Qing spoke, she handed Xu Bo a notebook, which was full of information on the Kunlun Mountain Range.
Xu Bo looked at the information, frowning slightly: "Does the Federation really think a single tree can block the beast tide? Isn't this a joke?"
"Things are dire now; perhaps the Federation wants to risk it all."
Xu Qing slightly shook her head, her beautiful eyes still on the livestream, gazing at the towering ancient tree, lost in thought.
On the other side.
Xu Bo also fell into contemplation.
At this time.
In other parts of the eighth war zone, everyone stopped what they were doing, fixated on the presence of the beast tide.
For them, the arrival of the beast tide signaled a life-and-death crisis for humanity.
...
Kunlun Mountain Range.
Gu Qingyang felt that invisible gaze locking on him once again. He didn't need to think to know it was humans secretly observing him.
However.
Gu Qingyang's focus wasn't on humans now but on the beast tide in front of him.
At this moment, the beast tide had completely reached the Kunlun Mountain Range, trampling over the traces left by the human army.
At this moment.
Gu Qingyang felt many fierce beasts' gazes falling on him, clearly sensing their desire to devour.
Evidently, the presence of the Ancient Tree was also a great temptation for the fierce beasts.
Soon.
The beast tide charged into the Kunlun Mountain Range.
Everything in its path was violently destroyed. Ancient trees that had stood for over a century fell and vanished altogether.
However—
As the beast tide rushed into the Divine Domain, the domain's power silently descended, and the strength of all fierce beasts plummeted by a level.
Immediately after.
Root tendrils, like black pythons, emerged from the earth, effortlessly piercing the bodies of fierce beasts. In just a moment, over a hundred fierce beasts at the forefront were slain completely.
The massive bodies shriveled up at a speed visible to the naked eye, leaving nothing but skin.
This scene.
Caused everyone watching the livestream to exclaim in shock, as the comments went wild.
"Holy crap, holy crap, what did I just see!"
"Over a hundred fierce beasts instantly killed, such terrifying power!"
"The Ancient Tree is mighty..."
"Slay them, kill all those fierce beasts. From today, I am a loyal supporter of the Ancient Tree!"
"Count me in..."
Everyone erupted in excitement.
The beast tide was threatening, and they thought the fierce beasts would break through the Kunlun Mountain Range and launch a final attack on humanity.
Unexpectedly.
The moment the fierce beasts entered the Kunlun Mountain Range, they were ambushed by the Ancient Tree, with over a hundred slain in an instant. Such a scenario left people both shocked and thrilled.
Federation high command.
Everyone was fixated on the screen, their spirits lifting upon seeing the Ancient Tree instantly kill over a hundred fierce beasts.
"The Ancient Tree in the Kunlun Mountain Range is indeed extraordinary!"
"That fierce beast seems to be the Red Flame Lion, a top-notch third-tier beast, killed instantly!"
"It seems the Kunlun Mountain Range can indeed wear down part of the beast tide's strength!"
Now, all the marshals of the various war zones were visibly excited.
Although they still didn't believe the Ancient Tree in the Kunlun Mountain Range could truly stop the beast tide, for now, even weakening the beast tide's strength was enough.
By then, even if the beast tide broke through the Kunlun Mountain Range, humanity could still put up a fight.
Ji Xuan's deep eyes glimmered briefly before he smiled and said, "It seems using the Kunlun Mountain Range as a shield was indeed a good decision. Next, we'll see how long the Ancient Tree can hold out!"
Although he suggested defending the eighth war zone, he was still skeptical of the Ancient Tree's strength. But the current scene reassured him.
...
"Devoured a third-tier inferior fierce beast, gained five thousand Evolution Value!"
"Devoured a perfected second-tier fierce beast, gained five hundred Evolution Value!"
"Devoured a medium second-tier fierce beast, gained three hundred Evolution Value!"
"Devoured an inferior second-tier fierce beast, gained two hundred fifty Evolution Value!"
"Devoured a perfected third-tier fierce beast, gained ten thousand Evolution Value!"
"Devoured..."
A dense stream of information emerged. Looking at the surging Evolution Value, Gu Qingyang was equally thrilled.
For a moment.
Gu Qingyang was even more vigorous in slaying fierce beasts. With the Divine Domain's effect, all beasts entering had their rank forcibly lowered by a level, making it easier for him to kill them.
On the other side.
The Evergreen Ancient Tree was also frantically killing fierce beasts, but unlike Gu Qingyang, its second-tier superior strength limited the beasts it could kill.
Luckily, all third-tier and above beasts were held back by Gu Qingyang alone. Otherwise, the Evergreen Ancient Tree would have fallen to the beast tide in a single encounter.
