Chapter 510: The Disappearing Powerhouses

In the midst of the crowd, a woman dressed in a light-colored gown, with an exceptionally beautiful appearance and a gentle demeanor that resembled an exiled immortal, looked at the beast tide in front of her, her eyebrows slightly furrowed.

The refined young man by her side noticed her unusual expression and turned to ask, "Xun'er, what's wrong? Are you worried about the beast tide? There's no need to worry, we've brought enough manpower to protect ourselves this time."

Although Gu Xun'er possessed a Divine Bloodline, she was still quite young, and her bloodline hadn't shown its full effect yet. Currently, she was just an ordinary low-star Dou Venerate.

However, when someone with a Divine Bloodline went out, they would surely have several guards with them. Considering the danger level of the Ancient Wasteland Region and the presence of other geniuses, the Gu Clan had assigned several guards this time. These guards were quite young, but their potential had already been fully tapped.

"Big Brother Qing Yang, I'm not worried about the beast tide. I'm worried because Elder Gu Yun hasn't been around since she left, and I'm afraid something might have happened," Gu Xun'er replied calmly.

"Elder Gu Yun hasn't returned yet?"

Gu Qing Yang was also taken aback when he heard this. The clan specifically assigned Elder Gu Yun to protect Gu Xun'er. She was an expert in the Dou Saint realm. Even within the Gu Clan, such elite experts were uncommon, and only Gu Xun'er received such treatment.

But now, such an expert seemed to have disappeared without a trace. It was indeed a cause for concern.

Meanwhile, on the other side, a group of people clearly dressed in the attire of the Hun Clan, wearing black robes, had gathered.

Among them was a man with a fair, jade-like face and a refined demeanor. He was known as Hun Yu. He respectfully reported to the black-eyed man before him.

"Brother Feng, we still have no contact with Elder Hun Mo."

"Still no contact?" Hun Feng's face was solemn as he heard the news. He then shook his head.

"Never mind, don't bother with him. Our current target is the Bodhisattva Heart. Just follow the plan."

As he spoke, he cast a glance in the direction of Gu Xun'er, a crimson tongue lightly licking his lips as he smiled.

"At that time, we can also try out the quality of this divine bloodline from the Gu Clan."

"Yes!"

Hun Yu nodded. He then left the Hun Clan circle and came forward. With his hands outstretched and a gentle smile on his handsome face, he spoke in a clear voice:

"Everyone, our goal is the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree in the deepest part of the Ancient Wasteland Region. Whether or not we will be at odds once we get there is a little too far away for us to think about now. That's because no single faction will be able to charge through the beast tide on its own.

Now is the best time to attack. Therefore, I propose that we temporarily unite to break through the beast tide together!

Of course, it's my idea to form this alliance, so the most dangerous positions will be temporarily occupied by my people. However, once they have exhausted their strength, they will withdraw and others will take their place. What do you all think?"

"This guy, can he really be this kind-hearted?"

Gu Qing Yang, who was talking to Gu Xun'er, heard this and looked at Hun Yu with amusement. Although Hun Yu seemed gentle and kind, unlike the typical members of the Hun Clan who were inclined towards violence, Gu Qing Yang knew that there were cunning plans brewing in his mind.

Moreover, with Hun Feng, who was known to be extremely ruthless among the younger generation of the Hun Clan, also present, Gu Qing Yang was certain that Hun Yu had an ulterior motive behind his words.

Of course, what Gu Qing Yang understood, others might as well. The infamous reputation of the Hun Clan was well known to most of those present. But when they heard that Hun Yu had volunteered for the most dangerous position, many secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Our Heaven Demon Phoenix Tribe has no objections. Brother Hun Yu's proposal is excellent. Given the brutality of these ferocious beasts, it's obvious that no single sect or clan will be able to withstand them. Brother Hun Yu is personally taking the vanguard position to pierce through this beast tide, proving his sincerity!"

Among the Heaven Demon Phoenix Tribe, a man with a handsome face and colorful pupils spoke with a faint smile, displaying an elegant demeanor.

"We have no objections either!"

"Agreed!"

Many others joined in, agreeing one after the other. They had no choice but to go along; they couldn't possibly object and then take the front position themselves!

Even the Heavenly Court, which had a deep enmity for the Hun Clan, didn't object.

"Very well, everyone, get ready to move!"

Hun Yu's face still bore a gentle smile as his gaze slowly swept over the large group. It paused for a moment at the Gu Clan members like Gu Qing Yang and Gu Xun'er, as well as the members of the Heavenly Court, before he quickly turned around. His figure shot forward, followed closely by a dozen or so figures in black robes. Behind them, the numerous experts trailed behind, allowing their Dou Qi to gradually imbue their bodies.

In the sky, the densely packed group formed an arrow-like formation. At the forefront of this formation was Hun Yu's group. If this large group were to break out, the power would undoubtedly be extremely terrifying...

"Let's go!"

Hun Yu at the front waved his hand as he saw the formation take shape. His figure shot forward, making a sharp, ripping sound as it surged towards the nearby beast flood. Following his action, the dense and massive arrow-like formation roared and followed, the sound of the wind breaking echoing through the sky.

"Roar roar!"

With such a massive formation, it didn't take long for numerous ferocious beasts to detect their presence. They erupted into furious roars that echoed like thunder and spread far and wide, provoking more roars.

Xiao Ming and the girls had broken through the beast tide earlier, but the number of ferocious beasts within the tide had not diminished in the slightest. The blood-red cloud of energy rose to the sky, condensing above the tide and spreading wildly in all directions.

"Kill!"

The distance was covered in the blink of an eye. Terrifying Dou Qi surged from the bodies of Hun Yu's group at the front before shooting forward. All the ferocious beasts within hundreds of meters were instantly turned into pools of blood. At the same time, this large group ruthlessly charged into the beast tide!

Bang! Bang!

The group unleashed a shocking momentum the moment they collided with the beast tide. Waves of mighty Dou Qi erupted. The ferocious beasts within hundreds of meters were crushed to death. The roar that the ferocious beasts had emitted before their deaths continued to echo in the sky.

In an instant, a clearing formed in the midst of the beast tide, and seizing the opportunity, Hun Yu and Hun Feng, along with the strong members of the Hun Clan, took the lead and charged.

Among the Hun Clan, Hun Feng possessed the greatest strength, and the overall strength of the Hun Clan team was formidable. Hun Feng quickly replaced Hun Yu as the vanguard, and the entire team broke through at lightning-like speed.

But this was only the beginning. As the majority of the people became consumed by a killing frenzy, the Hun Clan members quietly retreated to the back of the formation.

Many different red-eyed ferocious beasts charged wildly into the group. Although most of the ferocious beasts were killed by the combined efforts of several experts, some exceptionally strong ferocious beasts still managed to approach the group. Hence, the group began to experience some injuries and deaths. Sharp miserable screeches continued to spread from all around.

The faces of most of the people turned pale in the face of such enormous pressure. They hurriedly urged the entire group to push forward.

At this point, the group at the front was made up of experts who were being pushed by those at the back. Unable to retreat, they could only charge forward. Faced with successive waves of ferocious beasts, they could only attack with all their might.

However, the relentless onslaught of the beast tide meant that each time they killed a ferocious beast, they would gradually become exhausted. When they were about to retreat, they suddenly noticed that many people's eyes had turned red after being surrounded by the beast tide. These people were pushing forward with all their might, so... the group at the front had no chance to retreat.

With no way to retreat and their Dou Qi depleted, they would be ruthlessly bitten by the enormous bloody mouths of the ferocious beasts that pounced upon them before they could even feel hopeless in their hearts.

After these people were bitten to death by the ferocious beasts, another group was pushed forward. They endured with all their might before the cycle repeated itself.

The formation didn't need anyone to lead it at this point. Everyone was rushing forward to save their lives. Hence, there was an endless number of people being pushed to the front, becoming cannon fodder for the advancement of the group.

Therefore, as the formation went deeper, the number of people in the formation began to decrease. Many people lost their reason as a result of these losses. The group began to lose control. Only a small group of people were able to keep their rational minds and tried their best to maintain their speed so as not to be pushed forward by the human flow.

Out of several thousand people, only one or two hundred remained in the end. By this time, they were nearing the end of the beast tide.

Relying on their formidable strength, Hun Feng and his team were the first to break through the beast tide and reach the space where the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree was located. The ferocious beasts were unable to set foot in this area.

Following closely behind were the Gu Clan, the Heaven Demon Phoenix Tribe, the Heavenly Court, and three other teams of unidentified powerful individuals.

These people made up less than half of the total number of people who had been present just moments before. Those who had not made it to this area had all died.

It truly made one sigh at the danger of the Ancient Wasteland Region.

However, no one was concerned at this point because everyone could see the ancient tree towering in the distance, like a pillar supporting the sky!

Everyone's eyes immediately turned red, especially when they noticed that someone was already rushing towards the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree. The others couldn't contain themselves.

Across the vast grassland, several groups of people kept some distance from each other as they rushed towards the towering ancient tree in the distance, all at the same pace.

The Hun Clan members were aware of their elder's disappearance while searching for the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree, so they decided to stay behind and let the others scout ahead. However, they were unaware that Qing Lin had long reduced the five Half-Saint puppets guarding the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree to ashes. The Bodhisattva Ancient Tree itself was all that lay ahead of them.

Therefore, when the group approached and saw that not only was there no danger, but that the sacred, pure, and serene air surrounding the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree had begun to replenish the Dou Qi they had previously consumed and heal the wounds they had suffered, they could no longer contain themselves and began to accelerate, with those at the forefront trying to outrun each other.

One chased the other until someone came within ten meters of the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree. Suddenly, a brilliant golden light burst from the trunk and enveloped everyone within.

Unable to resist, the group was drawn into the illusion of the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree. This was, of course, the true essence of the tree's illusion.

It was taken from the Hundred Lifetimes Reincarnation with the intention of tempering one's state of mind within the illusion rather than being tempted to sink into it.
