"With this Eight Trigrams Formation, the human race can be protected for three years, but what about after three years!"
Ouyang Qingqing frowned, her heart filled with worry. They were all top disciples of the Central Continent Academy. Even though they had reached the Saint King realm, they still had no confidence in breaking through to Great Saint within three years. This was nothing short of a fantasy.
After all, not everyone could break through to the Great Saint realm. A single misstep could lead to qi deviation, scattering all their Daoist arts.
"Three years is a very tight timeframe, but as long as there is a sliver of hope, we cannot let it go!" The young master of the Tao family said with a solemn expression and great confidence.
Numerous powerful experts controlled the Eight Trigrams Formation, each occupying a sector to guard the entire human race. At this moment, the various sacred lands gathered together, appearing quite united, with no dissenting voices.
They were all well aware that once the beast race invaded the Eastern Region, it would be an extinction-level disaster for the entire human race. If they did not unite, they would be defeated one by one.
At the border of the Eastern Region, Hua Yu and others stood tall, gazing at the massive light barrier that protected the entire Eastern Region. Their expressions turned grim. They had not expected the human race to possess such a terrifying formation.
"This formation radiates holy light; even if we exert our full strength, we might not be able to break it!" Chang Feng said, "I truly didn't expect them to go to such lengths to prolong their existence and stall for time!"
"Even if we cannot break the formation, it cannot last forever!" The Cang Eagle clan leader chuckled coldly, "Once the formation is broken, they will still die. What's the point?"
"Perhaps they are stalling for time, or perhaps it is their final struggle!" Chang Feng smiled slightly, his gaze growing indifferent.
Meanwhile, throughout the Central Continent, the land was being carved up by the beast race. Everything, good or bad, was plundered. Especially the numerous immortal cultivation sects; they had no time to take their treasures when they left, and these treasures became the spoils of the beast race.
Even those who were slower and did not enter the Eastern Region could only hide. Upon discovery by the beast race, death was their only fate.
Every faction and every sect in the Central Continent was occupied by the beast race. The beasts, unhindered, trespassed and seized human treasures, their faces filled with evil smiles. In their eyes, all of this was worth it.
Within the Central Continent Academy, a group of beast race members had also arrived. They scoured the academy for treasures, their eyes filled with malice. Their arrival in the human realm was to destroy it, and they would not spare the most prosperous Central Continent Academy.
These individuals had wings, and unlike the Thunder Roc clan, they were clearly experts from the Cang Eagle clan. The ones searching the Central Continent Academy were indeed from the Cang Eagle clan.
The Central Continent Academy was filled with countless treasures, much to their delight. They had never expected to obtain so many good things.
However, at this moment, a beast race member discovered a secret passage within the Central Continent Academy. Surprised, he led the others into the passage, eventually arriving before a robust barrier, its destination unknown.
"Boss, should we open this barrier? There are definitely many good things inside. If we can get them, it would be a great fortune!" a Cang Eagle tribesman said.
Without hesitation, everyone stepped towards the barrier, intending to break it. After all, their goal was clear: to obtain whatever lay within.
After a prolonged assault, the barrier finally showed signs of weakening. But at that very instant, a figure appeared before them. This person was Lu Fan. He had spent several years in the inheritance ground and had now successfully completed his cultivation, obtaining the Central Continent Academy's secret techniques and its highest inheritance. His realm had reached the half-step Great Saint stage, a significant leap for Lu Fan.
"I didn't expect there to be humans within this academy!"
The elder of the Cang Eagle clan narrowed his eyes and gazed at Lu Fan. "Kill him for me!"
Lu Fan frowned as he looked at these beast race members. He hadn't expected the entire Central Continent Academy to fall during his brief period of secluded cultivation, catching him off guard.
But in that instant, Lu Fan grabbed the leading elder and looked at him, asking, "What happened? Where are the others from the Central Continent Academy?"
The elder's face turned ashen. He had intended to resist but found Lu Fan's strength immense, far beyond his capabilities.
"I have sealed your vital points. If you dare to move again, I will kill you!" Lu Fan's voice was icy.
The elder's expression changed abruptly. He dared not doubt Lu Fan's words, given the powerful aura emanating from him. If Lu Fan truly wanted to deal with him, it would be as easy as blowing away dust.
The other beast race experts were also startled. They didn't understand what was happening. Under normal circumstances, the elder before them was a Saint Beast; how could this have happened? Everything was beyond their expectations.
"The beast race has conquered the human race, so they are naturally not in the Central Continent Academy!" the elder said helplessly. "Who are you, and why is your aura so strong?"
"The beast race has conquered the human race?"
Lu Fan narrowed his eyes. "Does that mean the war between the two races has already begun?"
"The war between the two races began a year ago!" the beast race elder said coldly. "Your human race lies scattered across the land, and soon, all humans will be annihilated. This is our beast race's plan!"
"Is that so?" Lu Fan sneered coldly, his gaze fixed on the elder, filled with killing intent.
The other beast race experts were shocked. They could clearly sense that Lu Fan was about to act, without any reservation.
"Hurry and leave!" the beast race elder shouted, his eyes filled with panic. He felt a terrifying aura that he could not resist or control, leaving him utterly shaken.
Upon seeing this, the other beast race members did not dare to delay. They fled in haste, their eyes filled with panic. They had never expected to be ambushed by an expert upon arriving at the Central Continent Academy, which was certainly not a good outcome for them.
"Trying to leave?" Lu Fan sneered. "After killing so many of my people, I will make you pay the price!"
As soon as the words fell, Lu Fan's aura erupted, instantly slaying all the beast race members present.
