Chapter 927: The Offensive Begins
Those are endless tomb beasts!
Densely packed, covering the entire land!
"hiss……"
Are these all tomb beasts?
A gust of cold wind blew by, making Gu Heng shiver involuntarily.
The endless stream of tomb beasts stretched as far as the eye could see. At this moment, the speed of the demon ship began to gradually decrease. The tomb guardians on the demon ship looked at the dark beast tide in the distance, and everyone was filled with fear and uncertainty.
They had seen tomb beasts before, and had even dealt with them.
The tomb beasts they had dealt with were all solitary, and even taking down ten at once was considered a major operation. Of the hundreds of tomb guardians, only the seven deputy tomb masters could truly slaughter ordinary tomb beasts like ants; the others couldn't handle them with such ease.
However, this number of tomb beasts is so large that they are everywhere in sight, and the sheer number of them has even affected the stability of the Epoch Graveyard itself due to conceptual erosion!
This is too much!
How much is that? Millions? Tens of millions?
These tomb beasts are tainted by the concept of divine corpses, so they cannot be dealt with by those below the World Realm; only those at the Creation Realm can handle them.
And this doesn't even include some of the more powerful individuals among the tomb beasts. They may not have reached the level of beast kings or beast emperors, but they are already much larger and more ferocious than ordinary tomb beasts!
"So many tomb beasts... can we really handle them?"
Someone couldn't help but say.
As soon as he said this, all the tomb keepers around him turned their attention to him. He had spoken out what everyone was thinking.
This number of tomb beasts is definitely not something that a mere few hundred cultivators can handle, unless each of them has the strength to come into contact with "concepts". Otherwise, quality cannot overcome quantity!
We should hedge with quantity!
For example, in technological civilizations, those who are not good at cultivation may have an unimaginable advantage in such situations.
With the aid of a large number of man-made weapons from a technologically advanced civilization, these hundreds of millions of tomb beasts don't seem so terrifying...
But it's a pity.
In the Epoch Cemetery, there were no weapons of advanced technology for them to use.
The dangers of technologically advanced relics are similar to those of these tomb beasts; anyone who has been there knows this.
How many tomb beasts are there down there?
Gu Heng turned to look at Gu Xitong. He was genuinely a little flustered, after all, according to Master Wu, the tomb beasts were the second greatest threat in the Epochal Graveyard, second only to the corpses of gods!
But right now, the entire Tomb Keeper force only numbers a few hundred, plus the eight magical ships from the magical civilization...
Gu Heng had a feeling that any of those tomb beasts could drown them with a single spit.
“Quantity is meaningless; these ‘monsters’ do not have a true level of life.”
The system's response left him completely bewildered.
"What do you mean?"
"It means exactly what it says. The 'tomb beasts' you mentioned don't even qualify as living beings, nor do they fit the definition of an individual, so the number doesn't matter."
Ok……
Gu Heng didn't understand at all. Weren't these tomb beasts alive?
They're baring their teeth right down there!
Each of them had a bizarre and strange appearance. Although Gu Heng couldn't see whether they had eyes, he could definitely feel their extremely malicious gazes directed at him.
"Not even life...you mean, these things are inanimate objects?"
Gu Heng raised an eyebrow.
"They are 'phenomena' derived from a concept, not living organisms, and there is no concept of them being alive or dead."
Gu Xitong said.
"Phenomenon?"
Gu Heng was a little confused. "You mean, these tomb beasts are 'natural phenomena' like rain and thunder?"
"Yes."
Gu Xitong said, "But they also fight and kill like real living beings..."
"Many people may not be able to distinguish them from real living creatures."
As she spoke, her gaze silently fell on Gu Heng: "Like you."
When the system pointed out his "ignorance," Gu Heng didn't seem to care much. He waved his hand and said, "Oh, you don't have to be so smart. Being too smart isn't a good thing either."
Gu Xitong remained silent, her face displaying an indifferent "do whatever you want" attitude.
"All right."
"Now is the time for you all to step up your efforts."
At this moment, the voice of the secondary tomb owner reached everyone's ears.
"This area is still considered the outer perimeter of the lair, and the tomb beasts here are not very strong. Although these eight magic ships possess powerful magical firepower, their energy is ultimately limited and must be reserved for the stronger individuals among the tomb beasts." "You will wipe out these weaker tomb beasts, and once the powerful ones are lured away, the magic ships will kill them!"
"As ordered!"
A group of tomb keepers shouted in unison.
The demon ship slowed down, and in an instant, hundreds of cultivators leaped from the deck and began to display their supernatural abilities towards the horde of tomb beasts below!
A multitude of moves that Gu Heng had never seen before were unleashed simultaneously, bombarding the tide of tomb beasts!
