Only at the Mahayana Stage Does the Reversal System Appear - Chapter 340

Chapter 340: The Nation-Destroying Beast Tide

. “We don’t know when the beast tide will arrive,” a soldier whispered to his comrades at the Ying Kingdom’s border.

Two weeks ago, the demon beasts in the safe zone became increasingly agitated, and an increasing number of people injured while training there were injured.

This was a common sign of a beast tide.

Concerned, the military dispatched four-star beastmasters to investigate the situation in both the safe and dangerous zones. Unexpectedly

, the demon beasts in the safe zone were significantly more dangerous, with one- and two-star demon beasts becoming more aggressive and aggressive. Conversely ,

the demon beasts in the dangerous zone were acting out of character. Some demon beasts didn’t attack the scouts, but instead hid away, seemingly suffering from some psychological trauma and fearing humans.

However, this was only a small percentage of the time; the majority of three- and four-star demon beasts were still more aggressive.

Overall, this matched the description of a beast tide precursor.

As for the deeper Death Zone, the military hadn’t investigated the situation. The Death Zone was inhabited by five- and six-star demon beasts, and a five-star contracted beast was required to investigate.

But the Death Zone is too dangerous. Even if a five-star contracted beast entered, there was a high probability of no return.

Five-star contracted beasts are scarce and a strategic resource, and the military cannot afford to waste them.

“I heard that this beast tide was caused by a six-star demon beast. Is that true?” the soldier asked his companion.

Beast tides can come from two sources: five-star demon beasts and six-star demon beasts. The former is known as a city-annihilating beast tide, while the latter is known as a nation-annihilating beast tide.

“It better not be,” said his companion, still feeling apprehensive. “The last nation-annihilating beast tide was two hundred and fifty years ago. We can’t be so unlucky as to be caught in it, right?” “

I’ve read the memoirs of a certain commander. Back then, we were well prepared, but we still suffered a devastating defeat. An entire country fell, and tens of billions died.” The soldier pointed to the demon beast forest ahead and shuddered.

“That country, transformed into the current safe zone, has been overrun by demonic beasts, and they’re still digging up corpses.”

A companion whispered, “It looks like they’ve brought in that six-star contracted beast! Someone heard a bear roar. It seems they’ve brought in that six-star contracted beast.”

The six-star golden bear is known for its ferocious temperament, sometimes disobeying its beastmaster and making it difficult to control. The military is reluctant to deploy this powerful weapon unless absolutely necessary.

“It’s coming!”

Countless blips representing demonic beasts lit up on the radar, swarming into the radar’s detection range.

“Millions, tens of millions, hundreds of millions… A nation-destroying beast tide!” The green light from the radar screen illuminated the soldier’s face.

“Level 1 alert, a nation-destroying beast tide!”

Soon, the soldier could detect movement in the distant demonic forest.

Dark clouds gathered, trees fell, and a creepy sound echoed. The demonic beasts’ attack line seemed endless, seemingly endless.

At first, the soldier thought the demonic beasts controlled the weather and were approaching with the clouds. But as they drew closer, he realized something was amiss.

“Those aren’t dark clouds, they’re flying monsters!”

Flying monsters obscured the sun, filling the entire sky.

Flying monsters are extremely difficult to combat; humanity’s fighter jets and flying contracted beasts combined outnumber them.

“This time, it’s even bigger than two hundred and fifty years ago!”

Though there’s no data to back it up, the soldier believes this beast tide ranks among the top three in history.

“To be precise, this is the largest beast tide ever,” said another knowledgeable older soldier.

He patted his contracted beast on the shoulder. “A flying monster, huh? I have one too, a four-star multicolored parrot. It should be helpful.”

The other soldiers looked at each other, surprised that Old Feng actually had a four-star contracted beast. With

the beast tide approaching, a nationwide recruitment drive was launched, and this man, Old Feng, was among them.

Old Feng’s experience qualifies him for a temporary commander, but the military, concerned about his age and the risk of a relapse of assimilationism, was hesitant to enlist.

However, Old Feng was determined and insisted, and since the military was short on manpower, they assigned him to a makeshift squad.

“I wonder what’s become of the two children,” Old Feng whispered. Nine months ago, Xia Chao and Qiu Shi had messaged him about a trip to the Monster Forest.

Nine months had passed since then, with no further news.

Landmines detonated, anti-aircraft missiles were launched, strategic missiles were launched, flares were blasted, anti-aircraft artillery was fired…

the explosions continued, flames shot up into the sky, and heat waves rolled everywhere.

Vast swathes of monsters perished from the modern weapons, yet the radar showed only a few jumps in the last two digits.

The dead monsters were only a tiny fraction of the beast tide.

This was a common military tactic: modern weapons at the start, contracted beasts deployed, alternating between them.

But this time, there was a slight difference.

“Roar—”

“Come back, come back!”

the bear roared, soaring into the air. No matter how its beastmaster called out, he would not listen.

The golden bear, from the rear, flew towards the beast tide, sweeping in all directions.

It pounded the ground, cracking it and sending magma gushing out.

The monsters at the front were only one- and two-star monsters; how could they possibly stand a chance against the six-star bear.

No one expected Xiong Ba, the finale, to be the first to appear, disrupting all plans.

Crucially, this was a six-star contracted beast, a devastating force.

“Everyone retreat!”

Xiong Ba’s attack rendered all military plans useless, and any weapons useless. Furthermore, the aftermath of Xiong Ba’s attack was likely to reach the humans. To not retreat was to die!

“Hmph—”

a comical piggy squeal came from the rear of the beast tide, but no one found it amusing.

A giant wild boar the size of a mountain flew from the rear of the beast tide and engaged Xiong Ba.

A six-star demon beast, the Shattered Star Boar.

This battle was equivalent to a battle between two fusion-stage cultivators. The aftermath annihilated the demonic beasts on the front lines, shattering the border defenses.

The lowing of cattle and the cry of deer echoed from both sides.

A six-star water buffalo on the human side flew out from the rear and reached the front lines. Not to be outdone,

a six-star white deer on the demonic side charged out to meet the enemy.

The ultimate combat power of both humans and demonic beasts converged on the front lines, unleashing a breathtaking battle!

Unsatisfied by fighting on the ground, the two factions soared to the skies, engaging in a clash amidst the clouds.

This was the largest battle ever recorded.

Mountains and rivers were their weapons. Xiong Ba picked up a mountain and threw it at a giant wild boar, only for it to disintegrate with a single snout.

The white deer mobilized a mighty river, transforming it into a long whip and lashing it at the water buffalo. The buffalo, exerting its hind legs, lifted its front hooves and crushed the river beneath its feet.

Those standing below watched as the mountains shifted among the clouds and the river floated in mid-air – a truly magnificent spectacle.

And a scene of profound devastation.

Just as both sides were engaged in a fierce battle, thunder rumbled in the distance and heavy rain

poured down, as if the entire world was shrouded in torrential rain. Even the vast river suspended in the air was no longer under the control of the white deer, transforming into clouds, rising to the sky, and then turning into raindrops, falling to the ground.

A strange sound came from the horizon, and both sides involuntarily stopped fighting, sensing a hint of threat from this unfamiliar voice.

People had never heard such a sound before, only feeling that it was majestic and domineering.

If anyone from Jiuzhou were present, they would tell everyone that this was the roar of a dragon.
