Chapter 411: 226
Magical beasts gathered from all directions. In just half an incense stick’s time, there were already several hundred thousand of them, and this was just the beginning, as many more could be seen raging everywhere.
Thousands of cultivators were trembling with fear. Although they had spent a day arranging defensive arrays, no one knew if they could withstand the attacks. If the array were to break, everyone would likely suffer throughout the night, and unlike yesterday’s death toll of over a thousand, the magical beasts today were even more ferocious.
The first group that the million magical beasts targeted was the closest one. They were an alliance of over 500 people who spent 5,000 spiritual stones to arrange a defensive array. The array was a rare one, rumored to have been created by a Strong Dominator, and was known for its incredible strength.
Despite this, they were worried: “Where are the other people closest to us? If our array breaks, we should know which direction to escape. Use your Divine Skill to search. We can’t just sit and wait for death.”
“Don’t be afraid. It’s just a mere million magical beasts. If there’s no Dominating Realm among them, they won’t be able to shake my array in the slightest. You guys can just wait and get through these few hours safely.”
The person who arranged the array was full of confidence. However, the moment a million magical beasts attacked, the roars alone shattered the array, rendering it useless. Within a few moments, the million magical beasts had swept past this area.
As for the 500 people within the array, they disappeared instantly without any response. The horrifying scene made everyone more worried about their own defensive arrays. Could they really withstand the magical beasts’ attack?
Logan and his companions were using their Divine Skill to observe the events happening over there. He shook his head, thinking that although the opponents’ array wasn’t too weak, it should have been able to hold for a few hours. It was just that they were too unfamiliar with it, which resulted in it being only a substandard product.
Shangguan Bowe looked grave, full of worry for the future: “Perhaps no one can survive these three days. The magical beasts’ rage is growing more terrifying day by day. Even if a Sanctuary Powerhouse arrives, they might not be able to reverse the outcome. We might all have to sacrifice ourselves.”
“Stop being so sentimental. Overthinking won’t help. How do you know my array can’t withstand the magical beasts’ attack? There will be distribution in a day. I’m an honest person, and I never boast about myself.”
Logan shot a glance at Shangguan Bowe, who was clearly implying that he didn’t trust his array. It was generous of Logan to let him stay within the array in the first place. If he had doubts, why not just leave? But Logan didn’t want to say it outright and wanted to save him some face.
Ba Ke Yun nodded in agreement and added, “That’s right, your lack of understanding only proves your limited vision. I’m not exaggerating when I say that Logan has a heaven-defying ability. He once even killed a cultivator in the Dominating Realm.”
“A Dominating Realm cultivator died?” Shangguan Bowe frowned. A cultivator at the Dominating Realm had unparalleled strength, and no one could oppose them except the highest ranked Sanctuary Powerhouses, who usually remained in seclusion.
So, he shook his head, thinking it was just Ba Ke Yun boasting. However, he could understand why. Even if Logan had the ability to kill a cultivator in the Dominating Realm, at the very least, he needed to be at the same level. But Logan hadn’t even reached the Throne tier, so killing a Dominating cultivator was just a pipe dream.
The burly man beside Shangguan Bowe seemed deep in thought and said, “Rumor has it that a Dominating Realm cultivator did indeed fall recently. He was the Grand Elder of a nearby lord. The story was quite the sensation, and I overheard our family elders discussing it. But however you look at it, it shouldn’t be related to Logan.”
He vaguely remembered that the reason the Grand Elder fell was a young genius who, through a series of calculations and schemes, had the elder surrounded on all sides and ultimately killed him. It seemed that this young man would definitely gain the lord’s attention and not end up here.
“You guessed right, it was Logan.” Ba Ke Yun smiled lightly, “How about that? Are you surprised? Logan was able to plot the death of a Dominating Realm cultivator, so relax, the crisis will be dealt with.”
“So, it was you. My humble apologies.” Shangguan Bowe was indeed taken aback and hurriedly bowed to Logan. He was well aware of how legendary that incident was, and his father often used it to teach him a lesson, saying that one person’s talent could kill another’s spirit, which left him feeling frustrated.
He also considered himself a genius, having reached his level of cultivation in just over 30 years, just one step away from the Throne tier. Such talent and strength were unmatched in nearby territories. But deep down, he knew that no matter how smart he was, he didn’t possess the ability to cause the fall of a Dominating Realm cultivator.
From the rumors, Logan had killed three Throne tier cultivators with his supernatural powers, immediately shocking everyone. Then, he allied with the First Family patriarch, using himself as bait to personally kill the Grand Elder. Finally, with a single sweep, he eliminated the remnants of the Grand Elder’s forces.
Logan was speechless and motioned for them to stop: “People will say whatever they want. I was indeed involved in that incident, but most of it is just embellishments added by others. You only heard rumors. Even if I have great abilities, I still can’t kill a Dominating Realm cultivator.”
In fact, even now, Logan recalled how everything seemed too coincidental. First, the Grand Elder got injured while seeking the Sanctuary opportunity, then he was killed by three Complete King Seats. Logan had merely played a small part, influencing the situation slightly.
“That’s still very impressive!” Shangguan Bowe exclaimed with admiration while thinking highly of himself for recognizing Logan as talented and boldly lending him 10,000 spiritual stones. His father had always criticized him for being naive, easily deceived, and trusting in people too much.
Meanwhile, the million magical beasts continued their onslaught, breaking through three more arrays and causing over two thousand casualties. All that remained were a few stronger arrays.
“We started with 10,000 people, and now we’re down to 6,000. These 6,000 people are divided into three alliances: one led by the Throne tier, one led by the Transcendent Tier, and finally, us.”
Logan calculated that their side had too few people: just four of them in total. There were 3,000 people in the alliance led by the Throne tier, another 3,000 in the alliance led by the Transcendent Tier, but the Throne tier cultivators should have a stronger array since their realm was higher.
