The cheers inside Fiery Sun City didn't last long. The reason why it's called a Beast Tide is because it continues endlessly, and it seems to have no end in sight.

In earlier years, when the Beast Tide was not so enormous and the Sain Beasts were not so powerful, those mighty monks who have now disappeared within Fiery Sun City once considered purging the Sain Beasts.

But without exception, they all failed.

All the monks who set out to find the source of the Beast Tide disappeared without a trace, with no news coming back at all.

So gradually, the rulers of Fiery Sun City chose to leave Fiery Sun Star when the Beast Tide arrived and return when it was over.

After all, the life or death of the common people was not so important to them.

And now, the Sain Beasts surrounding Fiery Sun City seemed to be provoked by Bai Yan's overwhelming power, crazily swarming towards the city walls of Fiery Sun City.

They trample over the corpses of their companions, charging again and again towards Fiery Sun City!

In the end, Bai Yan is just one person. He cannot guard all four walls, and even if he could, such an exhausting effort would ultimately result in him dying under this endless Beast Tide.

The source of the Beast Tide must be found and ended fundamentally! Otherwise, everything I've done is just scratching the surface! It won't be of any use.

Bai Yan firmly decided in his heart that this Beast Tide must ultimately be ended, but certainly not by the ineffective slaughter as it is now.

His Divine Thought condensed into a thin line, and Bai Yan fiercely probed it in one direction.

Only in this way can his Divine Thought detect further and more subtle existences.

Just like the radar on Earth, scanning around, round by round.

In the blink of an eye, Bai Yan's Divine Thought had crossed half of Fiery Sun Star, but even so, he still could not find the end of the Sain Beasts.

In the Divine Thought, no matter which way he scanned, what he probed was still a Beast Tide composed of Sain Beasts.

In terms of numbers, even billions might not suffice to describe these Sain Beasts.

But at this moment, a sudden flash of Spiritual Light appeared in Bai Yan's mind, as if he had thought of something.

Bai Yan quickly descended from the sky, picked up the corpse of a Sain Beast from the ground, and threw it into the altar, choosing to sacrifice it.

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining one thousand points of Demon energy.]

The System's message triggered an overwhelming surge of excitement in Bai Yan's mind!

If I sacrifice all the Sain Beasts, just how much Demon energy could I obtain?!

This thought instantly filled Bai Yan's mind. A dead Sain Beast already yielded a thousand points of Demon energy, so what about a living one?

Not hesitating, Bai Yan quickly seized a Sain Beast, taking advantage of the moment before the others surrounded him, and threw it into the altar.

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining one thousand five hundred points of Demon energy.]

Fifty percent more!

The number representing Demon energy in Bai Yan's mind rapidly surged, showing him the potential to upgrade his territory.

If following this rate and pace, reaching the hundred billion energy points required to upgrade the territory from level five to level six might not be so difficult!

Bai Yan's heart was stirring at this moment, he thought he would have to wait long to accumulate enough Demon energy to upgrade his territory, and after upgrading, he would become broke again. But now it seemed he didn't need to think that way.

Bai Yan continued experimenting, but the Sain Beasts didn't halt their advancement due to his actions.

They still moved towards the walls of Fiery Sun City, and even faster than before!

On the city walls of Fiery Sun City, the monks who were just cheering turned into bitter expressions as they watched the Sain Beasts approaching unchecked.

But this didn't quell their resolve, and the deputy general beside Zhao Xin showed a determined expression, looking at Zhao Xin.

"General, it seems this time we can only fight to the death!"

Zhao Xin looked at the distant Bai Yan whose figure could no longer be seen, yet his resolve was unshakable.

"Indeed, we can't rely on Lord Bai Yan for everything. He's already done more than enough!"

"Pass down the order! Everyone prepares to fight to the death! Those without family or ties, follow me!"

"Even if there's just one of us left, we must ensure that the home behind us isn't ravaged by these monsters!"

"Fight to the death!!!"

Zhao Xin's deputy looked at his own General, who was wielding his sword with the same determined expression, and a surge of ardor filled his heart!

"Pass General Zhao's order!!!"

"Protect our home!!! Fight to the death and do not retreat!!!"

Zhao Xin's command spread in all directions with the resounding shouts of the message runners.

"Pass General Zhao's order!!!"

"Protect our home!!! Fight to the death and do not retreat!!!"

Every monk in Fiery Sun City who heard this order looked resolute, gripping their weapons tightly. Even when facing the Sain Beasts hundreds of times larger and stronger, there was no thought of retreat.

"Pass General Zhao's order!!!"

"Protect our home!!! Fight to the death and do not retreat!!!"

Behind them is their home, they have no desire to retreat, and they cannot retreat!

Zhao Xin's command also reached the ears of the civilians within the city. Each civilian, hearing their own heroic men shouting so fiercely, had tears welling up in their eyes.

They knew that those standing on the worn-down city walls, using their lives to protect them, were their children, husbands, fathers, brothers...

But they had no way to help them; they could only stay in their homes, silently praying for their loved ones.

Hoping that Heaven has eyes and can bring them hope.

As for Heaven? If it could see this scene, it would have long descended divine punishment to destroy all the Sain Beasts.

But it didn't, because in the Endless Star Sea, there are too many lives facing the test of life and death, and even these Sain Beasts and the humans of Fiery Sun City, to Heaven, or the so-called Heavenly Dao, or world consciousness, they are indistinguishable.

In fact, world consciousness might prefer the Sain Beasts because, with just a little energy, they can help cleanse the humans, who are seen as tumors living in the Endless Star Sea.

"Lord Bai Yan! Please leave quickly! All the people of Fiery Sun Star are very grateful to you! But you don't have to sacrifice yourself! Go now! While there's still time, leave Fiery Sun Star immediately!"

Zhao Xin's call faintly reached Bai Yan's ears, although they were too far apart, intermixed with the roars and thundering steps of the Sain Beasts.

If it weren't for Bai Yan's extremely keen senses, he might not have heard Zhao Xin's call.

But even hearing it, how could he possibly leave at this moment?

In Bai Yan's eyes, Fiery Sun Star is a treasure trove right now!
