Chapter 175: The Beast Tide Finally Begins!

  The gate of the Ice and Snow Palace was extremely solid, even a full-force strike from a Huang Soul Realm cultivator couldn't budge it in the slightest.

  Everyone looked up at the giant dragon in the void, their eyes filled with expectation and fervor, hoping it would not disappoint them and smash through the gate that blocked their way to the Ice Palace.

  Under the gaze of the crowd, the giant dragon let out a loud roar and immediately dived down from the void, carrying an extremely terrifying momentum, charging towards that gate.

  "I hope you can succeed!" Yi Chen's eyes narrowed into a sharp point, his heart tightened.

  A deafening "boom" shook the air as the giant dragon slammed into the gate, sending a visible shockwave rippling outward in all directions. The terrifying gust of wind knocked over cultivators who were close to the Ice Snow Palace.

  The sand and dust were stirred up by the strong wind, and everyone couldn't help but close their eyes, unable to see the situation on the other side of the ice and snow palace for a while.

  "Roar!" Suddenly, a furious roar echoed through the ice and snow palace, as if a powerful demon beast had been awakened by the impact, letting out an angry roar. Visible sound waves spread in all directions.

  The cultivators' hearts were shocked, and they quickly covered their ears with both hands. The air around them also stagnated, and the swirling sand and dust that filled the sky fell back to the ground.

  "Is that so? Tens of thousands of cultivators launched a simultaneous attack, but they couldn't open the grand gate." Finally able to see the situation at the Ice Snow Palace, everyone's eyes widened in shock.

  That attack just now could completely tear a Soul Formation cultivator to shreds, yet it couldn't even budge the palace gates. Yi Chen was also stunned by this result.

  But compared to the previous attack, what everyone is more concerned about now is the demon beast in the palace. The roar just now was extremely terrifying, and everyone felt that their souls seemed to have escaped.

  "It was this kind of roar, when the demonic beast first went berserk, it was also this kind of roar." Yi Chen's face revealed a solemn expression.

  The roar had just fallen, and another angry roar echoed through the palace. The demon beast inside seemed to be in a strange rage, and many cultivators covered their ears, their faces filled with pain, as the sound waves were too strong.

  "Boom! Boom!" The roar fell again, but a crashing sound echoed through the palace, as if some kind of magical beast was crashing into something.

  "The last time I came in, there was also a loud crash inside, that was the demon beast crashing into the gate!" A cultivator who had witnessed this scene before and had survived the previous riot.

  "What? Is the demonic beast in the Ice Palace going to riot again?" The Ice Palace had countless demonic beasts, and this news had long been spread. Some cultivators who had experienced the Beast Tide turned pale.

  "Don't panic, everyone! We have tens of thousands of cultivators. If we join forces, we can definitely defeat those demon beasts. Don't you all want the treasures in the Ice Snow Palace?" Liu Guo Shi, who was just rallying everyone, shouted loudly after seeing the cultivators' reaction.

  Upon hearing these words, those flustered cultivators calmed down somewhat. After all, with so many cultivators present, even if the number of demons was numerous, it couldn't surpass the number of cultivators.

  "It turned out that they allowed the cultivators to enter because they wanted the cultivators to help them resist the demon beasts." Yi Chen's slightly narrowed eyes flashed with sharp light, and at this moment, he finally knew the reason why the three major empires allowed people in.

  "This way, countless cultivators will become sacrifices later on. Only a handful can truly enter the Ice Snow Palace." Yi Chen slowly raised his head to look at the people of the three major empires, clenching his fist.

  "The Ice Palace is about to open, I hope you two can keep your promise. I don't want to accidentally kill you." Liu Yi's gaze shifted, looking at Qiu Shaoxian and Notti Qin Tian, he said.

  "The Ice Palace has countless treasures, but it's also fraught with danger. Let's put aside personal grudges for now and see what we can get; it's every man for himself." Notti said with a smile on his face.

  "Promises are only believed by the weak. Power decides everything." Unlike Notti Qintian, Autumn Shaoxian crossed his arms and said calmly.

  "Still so arrogant, it's been a long time since we last clashed, I'm actually looking forward to it." Liu Yi's face sank as he said.

  "I'll accompany you anytime, but whether I can guarantee your life or not, I dare not promise." Qiu Shao said with a smile.

  "It seems that among the so-called Three Heroes of the Eastern Domain, there are also contradictions." Yi Chen's hearing was extremely sharp and he took in their conversation.

  But he didn't make a big fuss, the three empires were originally competitive, and Liu Yi's three people were all imperial princes, so it was natural to collide frequently, and there were contradictions between each other, which is also a very normal thing.

  "Sooner or later I will catch up with your footsteps." Looking at their proud figures, Yi Chen's determined expression became even more resolute.

  According to Yi Chen's innate talent, plus the help of Tian Shu and Beast Soul, as long as he is given enough time, he will definitely surpass those so-called geniuses and trample them under his feet.

  Another dull impact sounded, and then the large gate began to move, opening a slit.

  "Peng, peng, peng."

  Right after that, a dull sound echoed again, and the gate of the Ice Palace slowly creaked open.

  "It's finally going to begin." Many cultivators gripped their weapons tightly, looking extremely tense, their eyes fixed on the gate without daring to move an inch.

  "What kind of monster is this, it's so incredibly powerful." Yi Chen's face was filled with shock, and he whispered.

  Just now, tens of thousands of cultivators joined forces and were unable to open the gates of the Ice Snow Palace, but that demonic beast was able to rely on its physical strength to slowly push open the gates. From this, it can be inferred that its grade is extremely high.

  "This is really terrible, I don't know how many people will die here later." With this judgment, Yi Chen's face gradually became more serious.

  Under the gaze of everyone, the ice and snow palace once again transmitted a shocking roar, and then another deafening impact sound was transmitted, and the thick and solid gate was brutally smashed open!

  As soon as the gate opened, a terrifying aura burst out from behind it, causing all the cultivators present to stand on end with fear, their faces pale with terror. The aura was too strong, too frightening.

  "This aura is even more terrifying than that of a sixth-grade magical beast." As he sensed the aura, Yi Chen's expression became increasingly solemn, and he began to mobilize his soul power, lurking in his meridians like a ferocious beast, ready to respond to danger at any moment.

  "When the gate is wide open, the ice and snow palace makes all beasts roar in unison, with a deafening sound that makes one's heart tremble with fear."

  "Bang bang!" Immediately following, the sound of footsteps came from inside, countless magical beasts rushed out of the Ice Snow Palace, with a large number, and the highest level was even a fifth-level magical beast.

  "Roar!" Those demonic beasts were extremely frenzied, staring at all the cultivators present with fierce eyes. Then, they simultaneously let out a long, thunderous roar, causing people's hearts to tremble with fear.

  "So many demonic beasts." Some of the lower-level cultivators turned pale in an instant, and they all felt their hair stand on end as they faced the numerous demonic beasts.

  "As long as we kill these magical beasts, we can enter the Ice and Snow Palace, let's go!" The crowd erupted in a frenzy of voices.

  Although they knew it was extremely dangerous, everything seemed insignificant in the face of huge profits. Moreover, there were tens of thousands of practitioners present, all holding a glimmer of hope.

  "Roar!" Regardless of what the cultivators thought, the demonic beasts began to attack. Countless demonic beasts poured out of the Ice Snow Palace, kicking up clouds of dust and charging towards the cultivators.

  "Everyone, kill! Enter the Ice Snow Palace together and seize the treasures inside!" Although there were many demons, the number of cultivators was not small either. They all mobilized their soul power and rushed towards those demons quickly.

  "It's finally started." Yi Chen narrowed his eyes into a sharp gaze, still not moving forward, slowly following behind the crowd, his eyes vigilantly scanning the surroundings.

  It will be a melee later on. Walking in front will only get you killed faster, while following behind reduces the risk factor.

  Finally, the monsters and the cultivators collided with each other, and the sound of killing filled the air.

  The demons were numerous, and the demonic beasts that fought against the cultivators continued to fall, trampled into meat paste by the later demonic beasts. The cultivators' side also suffered continuous casualties, not much better than the demon's side.

  "A" A level 5 magical beast fixed its gaze on Yi Chen, a fierce glint flashed across its eyes, and then it pounced towards Yi Chen with an extremely ferocious momentum.

  Sensing the incoming gust, Yi Chen turned his head to look, his eyes narrowing into a sharp angle, and immediately his toes touched the ground, his body flying backwards several meters, dodging the attack of the level 5 magical beast.

  "Peng!" The fifth-level magical beast struck the ground where Yi Chen had previously stood, blasting a deep pit into the earth, sending mud flying everywhere.

  The beast let out a deafening roar as its first attack missed, and it became enraged. It bared its teeth at Yi Chen, drooling with foul-smelling saliva, and then suddenly kicked off the ground with its hind legs, creating a loud whooshing sound as it pounced towards Yi Chen.

  "You beast deserve to die!" Without waiting for Yi Chen to make a move, the cultivators beside him changed their expressions and simultaneously mobilized their soul power to attack the demonic beast.

  "Roar" At the same time, many monks launched an attack, and no matter how strong that demon beast was, it couldn't withstand it. It let out a mournful cry and was immediately blown to pieces.

  "Pffft" Just then, a residual shadow flashed by, and two more fifth-level magic beasts charged this way. The cultivator who had just launched the attack didn't even have time to react before being torn into pieces by the two beasts, with blood and flesh flying everywhere.

  During the slaughter, one of the fifth-level magical beasts turned its head towards Yi Chen and then suddenly jumped up and flew over quickly.

  "How many magical beasts are inside the Ice Palace?" Yi Chen's face was solemn as he whispered, and then quickly mobilized his soul power. A fifth-level magical beast could resist a strong Yellow Soul Realm cultivator, so he didn't dare to be slow for even half a moment.

  The soul force surged out of the meridians, condensed in the right palm under Yi Chen's control, and continuously churned out waves of muffled sounds that reverberated in all directions, with a terrifying aura condensing in his palm.

  "Wu Pin Lower Tier Soul Technique - Heavenly Thunder Palm, Fifth Form!" His eyes narrowed into a sharp gaze, and Yi Chen let out a furious roar as he charged forward to meet the Level 5 demonic beast head-on.
