Chapter 27: The Will of the Heavenly Dao from a Higher Dimension Descends

Roar—!

Roar—!!

Roar—!!!

The Fierce Beast Forest, usually so peaceful, now echoed continuously with roars. From a God's-eye view, one could see that every Fierce Beast within a ten-kilometer radius was converging toward the same direction! Read novels on Tiantian Novels, ttk. tw for the smoothest experience.

The Fierce Beast tide was massive in scale, the very earth trembling beneath it.

Trees fell one patch after another, leveled to the ground. And at the very front of the beast tide, a single figure darted nimbly through the forest, leading the tide behind him.

Jiang Qin glanced back at the raging beast tide behind him, then took out another Beast Taming Incense and lit it.

The fragrance from the Beast Taming Incense held irresistible allure for Fierce Beasts; unless their spiritual intelligence was exceptionally high, none could resist. Every Fierce Beast within a ten-li radius had now been drawn here.

At a rough glance, there were at least a thousand Third-tier Fierce Beasts.

Only the fast ones could keep up with Jiang Qin, while the slow ones became stepping stones for the beasts behind them, dying without mercy.

"This thing works pretty well. I'll have to stock up more when I get back."

The Beast Taming Incense had originally been prepared by Jiang Hanhan and the others for hunting Fierce Beasts, but once they entered the Rift, there had been no chance to use it. Now, it was proving immensely useful.

Five kilometers ahead, Jiang Hanhan had also drawn a group of Fierce Beasts heading this way.

She was the strongest among these students, and she also possessed an A-grade Movement Technique. Leading these Third-tier Fierce Beasts posed her no real pressure.

After all, when Fierce Beasts move in swarms, their speed drops significantly.

Five minutes later, the two reunited.

Two waves of beast tides, each numbering in the thousands, were about to collide. Hearing the roars behind them growing ever closer, neither dared let their guard down. A single slip at this moment could mean death here.

"Are you ready?"

In response to Jiang Qin's question, Jiang Hanhan nodded seriously, showing no fear of the imminent danger. That kind of mental fortitude alone put her far above the students back at Modu Academy.

At the very least, Jiang Qin was very satisfied.

He gripped Jiang Hanhan's arm and channeled all his strength through his body. She, in turn, activated her Spirit Power to shield herself. The next second, Jiang Hanhan was hurled through the air by tremendous force, sent flying toward a distant mountain peak.

The Fierce Beast tide arrived in an instant.

Jiang Qin calmly ducked into a pre-dug underground hole, fully activating the protective function of his Spirit Clothing. The Dragon Pattern Black Clothing emitted an eerie spiritual glow, manifesting a Spirit Power barrier that enveloped his entire body.

The instant he was fully enclosed, the two waves of Fierce Beast tide crashed violently into each other!

Even if the beasts at the very front realized what was happening, they couldn't stop. They were left with only two choices: crash into the barrier, or be trampled to death by their own kind behind them!

A scene of utter carnage unfolded.

The Fierce Beasts at the center of the collision were smashed into pulp. The beasts behind not only failed to stop, but grew even more frenzied from the overwhelming stench of blood. The wild nature of beasts had completely overtaken reason.

Nothing left in their minds but the single thought of charging forward!

Every second, Third-tier Fierce Beasts perished. Gradually, the surroundings became mountains of corpses and seas of blood. Meanwhile, Jiang Qin, hidden in the underground hole, sheltered by his Spirit Clothing, ignored the Spirit Power shockwaves transmitting through the ground above.

On a mountaintop one kilometer away.

The students of Modu Academy stared at the distant scene of severed limbs and broken bodies flying through the air, their minds deeply shaken. Some couldn't help but turn away and vomit, feeling nothing but nausea.

The blood-reeking stench soaring to the skies enveloped the entire Rift space, lingering without dissipating!

At the very front, a flash of sudden realization crossed Jiang Hanhan's eyes.

She remembered why that piece of clothing had seemed so familiar. Wasn't it the Spirit Clothing her mother had personally crafted before she left Dijing, the one she'd seen?

It seemed to be a gift prepared for the brother she'd never met, for his enrollment.

Coming all this way to save her… Jiang Qin… Jiang!

He is…!

At some unknown moment, as if the heavens themselves had been shaken by this soaring slaughter, boundless dark clouds enveloped this stretch of sky, and dense raindrops began to fall from above.

The cold rainwater suppressed the soaring blood-reek, calming the frenzied Fierce Beast tide.

Yuan Ying's expression shifted slightly as she detected this change.

"Not good!"

This rain had calmed the Fierce Beasts, and the plan was only half complete. They had no more Beast Taming Incense to spare.

No, something's wrong. These Fierce Beasts calmed down far too quickly!

Jiang Hanhan noticed this too. Feeling the rainwater in her hand, her expression grew solemn: "There's something off about this rain. It seems to be mixed with something else."

"It's Demon Power!"

Humans inhale Spirit Energy, refining it within their bodies to form Spirit Power—that is, purified Spirit Energy.

But Fierce Beasts below the fourth tier can only use inhaled Spirit Energy to strengthen their flesh; they cannot retain Spirit Energy within their bodies and must rely solely on their physical forms in combat. This is also why Fierce Beasts possess extraordinarily powerful physiques.

However, once a Fierce Beast advances to the fourth tier, it can condense Demon Power within its body, greatly boosting its strength.

Everyone felt a fear rising from the depths of their hearts.

"This heavy rain blankets this entire region, and every single raindrop contains Demon Power. What a staggering quantity of Demon Power—the one who did this must be a great power from another realm! It's forcibly interfering with the rules!"

As the words fell, it was as if the speaker's conjecture had been confirmed.

The gloomy sky underwent a strange change. The clouds collapsed inward in a tornado-like spiral, and the entire space was affected by it. A will was descending upon this stretch of heaven and earth.

A voice without emotion, like the speech of a deity, came from the depths of the sky.

Its voice echoed throughout this stretch of heaven and earth:

"Struggle. Resist."

"You despicable humans who dare defy My will—I will make you be buried here forever!"

It was a deity from another realm.

It had sensed Jiang Qin's unpredictable potential, so even at the risk of backlash from the rules, it would forcibly bury Jiang Qin in this stretch of heaven and earth, lest this insect tip the scales of the future war between the two realms.

The Demon Power within the rainwater was stripped out and merged together.

Jiang Qin, who was underground, was uncontrollably pulled up to the surface and suspended in mid-air. No matter how hard he struggled, he could not shake this force.

Jiang Qin's face darkened.

That Demon Power had sealed away every spiritual artifact on him, including the Space Ring and the S-grade Spirit Clothing he wore.

One had to understand that he was now at the very center of the beast tide; losing these things meant his trump cards were gone, and his chance of surviving the Fierce Beast onslaught was essentially zero.

It did not stop there.

The thousands upon thousands of peak third-tier Fierce Beasts filling this space, as if summoned by some force, charged madly toward where Jiang Qin stood; all their spiritual intelligence had been wiped away, leaving only a single thought.

And that was to kill that human at any cost!!

"Brother!"

Jiang Hanhan sensed Jiang Qin was in grave danger. Ignoring her companions' attempts to stop her, she rushed toward Jiang Qin—she was going to rescue her brother.

When she learned that Jiang Qin had charged into the Rift alone for her sake, she had already accepted this brother wholeheartedly.

Now, watching her family member on the brink of death, how could she remain unmoved.

That will seemed to think this was still not safe enough; its power began invading Jiang Qin's flesh, attempting to affect his soul. But soon, Its voice suddenly panicked, carrying fear and endless dread.

The power was as if dissolved by something, striking straight at Its origin.

"Why, why does this insect of yours carry the will of the Heavenly Dao…!"

The Otherworld Rift is the battlefield between the Heavenly Daos of two worlds; the will of the Heavenly Dao forms the rules.

Yet at this moment, on the black-clad youth suspended in midair, a third party's Heavenly Dao will had actually appeared—not from this world, nor from Lanxing on the other side of the Rift, but a will descending from a higher dimension!

It sensed something else intruding upon Its people, so It sent down Its will to manifest in this world.

The will belonging to It transformed into rules, beginning to overlay upon Jiang Qin…
