Chapter 1020: It Fell
The Eternal Beast.
Civilized beings have given these monsters such domineering and extraordinary names, but Gu Heng doesn't necessarily think that the Eternal Beast is any more majestic or powerful.
On the contrary, this monster is extremely ugly, so ugly that it is quite eye-catching!
Its entire body glowed with a bloody light, as if it were emanating from blood, but it didn't look like fresh blood. Instead, it looked like streaks of blood flowing on the surface of its body. Its withered and rotten shell was covered with strange patterns, but this did not diminish the threat it posed.
Gu Heng found few records in the science and technology civilization database.
Among the troubles of many civilizations, the "Eternal Beasts" have always existed, not because these monsters are so powerful, but because they are impossible to eradicate.
Every time the Eternal Beasts wreak havoc, their numbers are at least hundreds of thousands or even millions. After they are wiped out, it is thought that there will be decades or hundreds of years of peace. But before long, the Eternal Beasts will return in the same way, and their numbers and quality will not decrease at all!
It came out of nowhere.
Many civilizations are quite helpless about this, since they cannot find the source of the Eternal Beast, so they can only treat the symptoms, not the root cause.
Among the countless dangers in the myriad realms, the Eternal Beasts, while not particularly troublesome, are still quite unsolvable. As the name suggests, these monsters seem to exist eternally, impossible to kill or destroy.
Even if you manage to wipe them out completely, they will reappear without warning, like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.
Moreover, the more desolate and uninhabited a place is in the vast star sea, the less likely you are to find the Eternal Beast, and the borderlands of those civilizations are constantly plagued by it.
and so.
Many civilizations define the eternal beast tide as a "natural disaster," not man-made, but a natural phenomenon.
There is no compelling evidence of human intervention.
The appearance of so many eternal beasts out of thin air is against common sense. Even the most prolific insectoid civilization could not create a large number of insects out of thin air to invade.
Therefore, everyone accepted the existence of this disaster.
"This eternal beast is indeed no different from the tomb beast."
"They're all pretty ugly."
This ship was no cheap vessel, but its protective shield had been shattered and turned into a cloud of smoke. Meanwhile, the Eternal Beast was completely unharmed. Gu Heng frowned as he watched the Eternal Beast that had crashed into his ship and then continued to sail away as if nothing had happened.
He recalled the tomb beasts in the Epoch Cemetery. In terms of ugliness and inexhaustibility, the two were equally matched. Wu Zhao had also said that the tomb beasts and the eternal beasts had many similarities, and now that he had seen them with his own eyes, Gu Heng agreed with him even more.
"How could the Eternal Beast appear here?"
Xiao Bai stood solemnly on the deck, staring at the Eternal Beast. Su Jinxi was also startled, but she quickly recovered and was ready to make a move at any time.
"The Junling Immortal Realm is the border of the Zixiao Heaven, so it is possible that eternal beasts will roam there."
"But there's only one?"
Seeing the Eternal Beast quickly disappear into the distance, they breathed a sigh of relief, but then a question arose in their minds. The Eternal Beasts were known to appear in numbers of tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, which was absolutely terrifying, like a natural disaster. It was extremely rare for one to be alone.
The words have not yet fallen.
The surrounding spiritual mist suddenly became heavy and murky, as if something was about to break out of the mist, making the air stagnant!
Immediately, countless beast shadows swept across the ship from all directions, and the billowing smoke and clouds obscured the sky!
"I knew it, there was definitely more than that."
Su Jinxi's face turned cold.
She had never personally experienced the Eternal Beast Tide, so this was her first time. However, the Demon Race Civilization Alliance deeply abhorred the Eternal Beast Tide.
In fact, this is true of every civilization.
"This number is a bit too terrifying."
Gu Heng looked around, and with just a casual blink, countless beast shadows swept past from the murky spiritual mist. They came with fierce momentum yet remained silent. It was hard to imagine that when such a beast horde charged, the surroundings were almost deathly quiet.
Recorded Eternal Beast Tides range in size from tens of thousands to nearly ten million. Judging from their numbers and formation, the Eternal Beast Tide before them was absolutely overwhelming!
The ship, its defensive shield breached, was maneuvered by Zero with unimaginable speed through countless beast shadows. Fortunately, these eternal beasts were highly focused on their own objectives and did not pay particular attention to this ship.
otherwise.
This ship certainly cannot withstand another impact.
Even the Apocalypse couldn't withstand it. The technological civilization also suffered from the invasion of the Eternal Beast Tide. Every time the Eternal Beasts attacked, the technological civilization would send out its main fleet, which was of equal or even completely overwhelming strength, to fight back.
We must avoid it.
If we don't avoid it, something bad will definitely happen.
"The Junling Immortal Realm is probably going to suffer a little for a while."
Su Jinxi nervously watched the beastly figures around her. Their purpose was clear: to target the immortal beings of the Junling Immortal Realm.
However, the disaster caused by the Eternal Beast Tide may not be too great. They just attack without any warning, suddenly appearing at our doorstep and catching us off guard. There will definitely be some losses, but it is not to say that it will cause devastation and death...
A dignified immortal civilization would never stoop to such a disgraceful level.
The threat posed by the Eternal Beast is far less significant than the bloody conflicts arising from clashes between civilizations.
"Let's get out of here quickly, I don't want this ship to be destroyed."
Gu Heng knew that someone would handle the Eternal Beast Tide, so there was no need for him to get involved.
Before long, the ship broke through the polluted, murky spiritual mist and sailed into a relatively peaceful fairyland.
Such scenery is commonplace in the immortal civilization.
Gu Heng had already seen quite a few of those boats on the patrol boat of Inspector Pu, and was getting a little tired of them.
He had planned to go back inside the ship to rest and not come out until he reached the Jade Emperor's Palace, but Xiaobai called out to him.
"Master, look at that."
"what?"
Gu Heng followed Xiao Bai's gaze.
There was a familiar-looking ship that had crashed inside the mountains, and Gu Heng didn't know how Xiao Bai had noticed it.
That was a patrol ship.
He didn't know which inspector it was, but as far as he knew, inspectors were low-ranking officials with countless positions, the kind of job that not many people cared about.
Of course, those like Pu Yunyuan, who have a different identity, are not included.
"Why is the patrol envoy's ship here?"
The ship was almost completely destroyed, and Gu Heng shook his head repeatedly at the sight of the crash. He wondered if the cultivators on board were alright.
"Let's go and take a look."
