Seeing a group of Demon Kings dare not move against Shen Wang, the White Tiger King was seething with anger.

"These cowards!"

He cursed, but did not act recklessly. Instead, he cautiously glanced at the distant void.

"That old thing is definitely watching me too, now isn't the best time."

The White Tiger Emperor thought to himself, still a bit apprehensive about what happened last time — the old thing's methods were indeed too formidable.

Under Shen Wang's intimidation, their group slowly left the second line of defense, passing through the subordinate vein and retreating in the direction of the main vein.

They faced many fierce beasts, but fortunately, there were no particularly powerful ones. So even though people continuously died, their movement did not stop.

This was a torment for ordinary people — no one wanted to be the one who died, and everyone was trying to find a way to converge at the center.

On the way, they encountered remnants from other veins. Seeing their large numbers, efforts were made to converge, and people supplemented those who had died, so the team did not quickly dwindle.

Shen Wang observed the nearby situation; such a war was really not something ordinary people could endure. In just this short time, tens of thousands had already died along the way.

He could do nothing but maintain his connection with the vegetation along the way.

After being ambushed last time, he had become much more vigilant.

Through the plants, he could sense the surrounding situation and be faster aware of any disturbances.

"When we reach the main vein, I'll plan to leave here with my main body, to avoid being abandoned a second time."

Shen Wang thought as he looked up into the distance. A towering peak emitting brilliant radiance stood like a pillar holding up the sky, its majestic force merging with the nearby Eight Meridians, incredibly imposing.

From behind the adjacent sub-vein, sounds of intense collision and various screams echoed.

He instinctively looked over; that was where the Kan Vein was located, with a large river flowing through it. A group was retreating to the shore, fighting numerous aquatic beasts along the way.

These people were guarding the waterway. Now that the defense line had collapsed, they had no choice but to retreat to the land on both sides.

At that moment, some saw Shen Wang's large group and gathered towards them.

Shen Wang glanced at the river behind these people, his gaze fluctuating.

Perhaps leaving via the waterway was a good choice.

As he pondered, the team continued retreating, gradually absorbing people from the Kan and Qian Veins.

Similar to them, disciples and elders of the Celestial Travel Sect in these two veins also took the opportunity to run away, leaving others and Demon Beasts behind to fight.

With the addition of more people, the team grew larger again, steadily retreating towards the main vein.

Stability meant very slow speed; everyone advanced as if moving through alien tides, with people dying along the way, even cultivators facing death.

In prolonged battles, the cultivators' resources were exhausted, strength depleted, and without specific body refinement, they weren't much stronger than ordinary people.

Suddenly, a Mid-Stage Qi Cultivation Cultivator was accidentally caught by a flying beast and thrown into the alien army.

Seeing the bloodthirsty mouths surrounding him, the person roared in fury, "I'll fight you to the death!"

He took out something and stuffed it in his mouth. Instantly, a black vapor emanated, his body trembled, his eyes turned blood-red, breath quickened, face flushed, qi and blood surged, a formidable power erupted from his weakened body.

Shen Wang sensed a demonic aura appear and couldn't help but glance over, noticing black vapor indeed rising from the person's body, which seemed stimulated, with bloody flames enveloping him and qi and blood rapidly burning.

A turbulent force surged within him, granting him sudden monstrous strength. He punched a ferocious beast attempting to eat him, twisting another fierce beast's neck.

His magical flying blade emitted a black-red glow, hummed, and exploded in power again, continuously piercing through several bloodthirsty mouths attempting to bite him.

"Demon Madness Pill?"

Shen Wang recognized this person as someone who came in with him initially; he had just consumed a Demon Madness Pill for a desperate fight, suddenly exhibiting maddened behavior with skyrocketing strength.

The person's potential was fully activated, not only restoring his strength but now even surpassing his usual power, slaughtering nearby beasts, with more than a dozen fierce beasts falling dead in moments.

Shen Wang observed the person's situation: it was entirely the demonic aura stimulating his potential, burning his life essence to unleash power; even if he survived, he would be finished.

Many who understood the situation with the Demon Madness Pill witnessed this scene with grim expressions, and no one intervened.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

The crazed cultivator's forehead darkened, his qi and blood surged skyward, as if possessing infinite power, driving him to cackling laughter: "You beasts can't kill me!"

He was now demonic qi-invaded, lost his sanity, intoxicated by the sensation of overwhelming strength, forgetting to seize the chance to return to the team.

Shen Chuxue frowned at the scene, startled: "Demonic Qi, it's really demonic qi, how could there be demonic qi here?"

"Ignore him."

Shen Wang paid no further attention.

The mad cultivator fought for a while, suddenly screamed miserably, muscles convulsed, and amidst excruciating pain, his power ebbed away like threads.

His blood-red eyes regained some clarity, wanting to say something, but a fierce beast bit through his skull, dying tragically.

The cultivators who hadn't consumed the Demon Madness Pill saw this result from afar and trembled inwardly, realizing the pill was meant to go mad and kill a few for payback when survival was hopeless, not a good thing at all.

Han Wan'Er uneasily said, "I was afraid one Demon Madness Pill wouldn't help you, so I gave you an extra one."

Shen Wang didn't respond at all; he had long realized the pill was no good.

Shen Chuxue cast a cold glance at Han Wan'Er, who didn't dare meet her gaze and silently lowered her head.

The brutal death continued, as people grew more exhausted, and deaths increased.

At this point, several people appeared between two distant mountains, one of them landed on their retreat path, and pressed down on the ground.

Rumble!

Amidst deafening noise, an earthen wall rose from the ground, blocking the approaching demon beast army, and also obstructing the people's retreat.

The people still at some distance were stunned, no one expecting someone to cut off their retreat route.

"What is this, why build a wall on our retreat path!"

"He doesn't want us to pass, wants us to fight these beasts to the death!"

"This is despicable, how can he do this!"

All sorts of curses erupted, and Shen Wang stared coldly at the one who cast the spell: "You better give me an explanation."

A robust figure leaped onto the earthen wall, arms crossed: "This is Master Shen Wang, right? I'm not targeting you, but these ordinary people; they can't go any further, the area at the back can't accommodate so many."

He pointed to the increasingly smaller area at the rear: "The interior area is less than one-tenth that of the periphery. If people come from all directions, it will immediately be packed; your team, Master Shen, is especially large, already exceeding a hundred thousand."

Shen Wang raised a finger, and a blade of grass grew out of thin air, transforming its leaves into a spear, piercing through the earthen wall with a crack, then grew within the wall, further splitting the barrier.

"Master Shen, you!"

The robust man wore an ugly expression.

"What you! Don't you see who brought these people, do you think you can stop them?"
