Beast tide

**Beast tides** (兽潮) would occur when the numbers of Magical Beasts grew too high, they would widen their territory, and that would inevitably clash with the human territory. Countless Magical Beasts would charge into human cities, terrifying everyone. In the Martial Heaven Sea Ring, there would be beast tides of Sea Demons that charge into the shores of human civilizations.

## Martial Heaven Sea Ring

### Sea demons

The Eastern Wasteland's beast tide is nothing compared to when the sea demons attack. There are countless sea demons in the Martial Heaven Sea-Ring, and every few years, they will gather on the shore and charge at the continent. If a region isn't able to hold them, they will kill countless innocents.

There are just too many sea demons, and only by continuously slaughtering them can humans maintain an equilibrium. That's why all the Central Plains' powers will encourage hunting sea demons; some sects even have hunting targets. Compared to the Magical Beasts on the land, sea demons are all cold-blooded, merciless, and emotionless.

The sea demons only attack the Central Plains and not the other four regions. That's because of the storm zones. The storm zones only exist on the side of the Eastern Wasteland and other regions. Due to the spiritual qi of the Central Plains, no such storm zones exist. In truth, the only reason why the Eastern Wasteland, Western Desert, Southern Sea, and Northern Source are able to survive is because of the storm zones. The Central Plains has its hands full just dealing with their own defenses, so no one would reinforce the outer four regions. Those four regions are nothing more than four villages for the Central Plains.

According to past records, each time the beast tide occurred, the sea demons would enter a quiet state as if they were preparing their strength.

### Why they occur

It's a method of weeding out the weak. The Martial Heaven Sea-Ring is controlled by the sea demons, and in the depths of the sea, no one dares to provoke them. The beast tide sea demons are the inferior members of the sea demon race. Their bloodline is impure, and the ninth rank is their limit. Only sea demons that can reach the tenth rank and above are true members of the sea demon race.

Just like the continent, the sea is also a land of cultivation. But there are just too many sea demons, and when the numbers reach a certain level, it affects the pure-blooded sea demons' cultivation as well. The beast tide is caused by the leaders of the sea demons who want to see the numbers go down.

The reason they cause beast tides is to suppress the number of sea demons. It's through this balance that the number of sea demons stays low enough that the spiritual qi in the sea doesn't grow thin. That would affect the true experts of the sea demon race.

It is a game of survival of the fittest and benefits both humans and sea demons. The sea demon race is using human cultivators to eliminate a portion of their wasted resources. As for human cultivators, they use this battlefield to temper their disciples, as well as gathering Neidan.

This is also why the Martial Heaven Alliance forbids King experts from going hunting in the sea. They're afraid they might kill some pure-blooded descendants of the sea demons. That would draw out the true leaders of the sea demon race, and then a huge battle would definitely erupt.

## Skyscraping World

Suddenly, furious roars came from the distance, and the ground began to shake. The original devil race’s experts’ expressions changed.

Long Chen saw over ten giant spatial cracks in front of them. Some of them were only a few miles long, while the largest was a thousand miles. Endless Magical Beasts were boring out of those cracks, their roars shaking the sky.

“Tenth tier Magical Beasts? And even eleventh rank ones?”

Long Chen was amazed by what he saw. The original devil race experts were used to it though, and they raised their weapons. However, there were far too many Magical Beasts. They were practically endless.

Long Chen wakes up Wilde to attack the beasts.
