Global Dungeon: I Can See the Status Bar

Late at night, the moon bright and stars sparse.

The moon hung high in the sky like a jade plate, casting its cool moonlight.

Strange threads of aura fell with the moonlight onto the earth, spreading the power of evolution.

In the Cultivation World, the sun governs growth, while the moon governs evolution.

Whether for the Demon Race or Soul Ghosts, the Power of the Moon is a highly nourishing tonic.

Mao Mao, practicing the Celestial Dog Eating Moon Technique, was naturally no exception.

Every night, after a short nap with Lu Wenwu, Mao Mao would wake up on time, quietly crawl out of bed, and curl up for a bit.

Now it sat on the ground facing the moon, slightly opened its mouth, and performed the Celestial Dog Eating Moon Technique to refine the Power of the Moon.

Just as Mao Mao was happily ”eating” the moon, it suddenly noticed something wasn’t quite right.

In the originally pure Power of the Moon, two slightly eerie scents seemed to be mixing in.

Mao Mao, caught unawares, immediately choked and couldn’t help but retch a few times to the side.

What the hell is this stuff so hard to swallow?

Mao Mao tilted its head, pondered for a moment, and found the answer in its bloodline inheritance.

This was the scent of Demon Qi and Ghostly Qi!

”Master! Master! This is bad woof! This is bad woof!”

Mao Mao couldn’t continue refining the Power of the Moon for cultivation and leaped into the house, executing a move it liked to call ”doggy avalanche” onto the sleeping Lu Wenwu.

Its four little paws precisely landed on Lu Wenwu’s chest.

Lu Wenwu woke up instantly, almost choking on his breath.

We can only say... it’s a good thing Mao Mao was still in a puppy form and not too heavy.

Lu Wenwu squinted his sleepy eyes, reached out to pet his dog: ”What’s up?”

”Someone’s messing with the moon woof!” Mao Mao pointed its paw outside, ”There’s Demon Qi and Ghostly Qi, both groups are using the Power of the Moon to activate some large array, and there’s a lot of the Demon Race scent.”

”What the hell? The Demon Race is attacking?”

Lu Wenwu immediately woke up, rolled out of bed, dressed quickly, and rushed outside with Mao Mao in his arms.

As he walked, he excitedly muttered: ”Oh wow, could it be the legendary Beast Tide attacking the city? Finally, after all this time something happens to catch a brother’s eye! The Transmigrator’s unique physique finally activates, and this remote Eastern Wilderness encounters such an event. Let’s see what’s happening today!”

Above Celestial Star City, the sky was already covered in a thin veil of blood-red mist.

A Big-Bearded Foundation Establishment Cultivator patrolling along the inner city walls with his sword looked up into the sky, his brows slightly furrowing.

”I say, why does today’s weather feel off? Why has it suddenly gotten foggy?”

Another slender Foundation Establishment Cultivator nodded and replied: ”Indeed it’s a bit misty and chilly. Could it be some Resentful Soul or Fierce Ghost passing by?”

”That’s impossible.” The Big Beard immediately shook his head, ”Our Celestial Star City’s defense array is the Celestial Star Sect’s most treasured technique, a genuine Tier Four Array, the Celestial Star Array. It is said that when fully activated, it can resonate with one hundred and eight stars, harnessing the power of the Beidou Seven Stars. Which petty thief would dare act here?”

The slender cultivator gave a slight pout: ”I hope...holy crap, Brother Wang, quickly use your unique secret technique to see what’s that dense black mass over there?”

Upon hearing this, the Big Beard channeled his magic, his eyes emitting a faint blue glow, and looked in the direction his friend was pointing.

What he saw nearly scared him into cardiac arrest.

Through the vision of his secret technique, beast after beast was shoulder to shoulder, lowering their bodies, silently creeping like a swarm of insects or a fungal blanket, swiftly advancing toward Celestial Star City.

Large numbers of Demon Beasts, seemingly endless, jostling together with no end in sight!

The nearest had already come within a few kilometers of the outer city where mortals lived, and the farthest had reached the northeastern horizon, where beasts and terrain began rising together.

That was the Fuhu Mountain Range!

Damn it, where did so many Demon Beasts come from in the Fuhu Mountain Range?

How could they launch a Beast Tide!

Sweat trickled down the Big Beard’s forehead, his body trembled so much that the flying sword beneath him began to quiver slightly.

Not pausing to talk to his friend, he grabbed him and they flew their swords toward the inner city.

Simultaneously, he tore at his throat, channeling Spiritual Power, and with the greatest effort of his life, roared:

”Enemy attack! Beast Tide attacking the city!”

The piercing shout came from the northern city gate, almost awakening half the city from sleep and rest.

In an instant, the shrill piercing of flutes streaked across Celestial Star City’s sky, and the heavy toll of bells echoed throughout the city center.

Celestial Star City was fully awake, chaos ensued swiftly.

The quickest to react, the City Guard immediately mounted the city walls. Foundation Establishment and Golden Core Cultivators either took to Sword Flight or rode Flying Magical Treasures, ascending to the skies.

They beheld the terrifying Beast Tide raging in from two directions, their hearts filled with shock.

For them, cultivators on the continent’s edge, a Beast Tide attacking the city was merely something spoken of in boastful stories after good meals and drinks.

Were it those ”frontline” Cultivator Cities at the bridgeheads against demons, with complete defensive works and city defense systems, cultivators could rely on array walls and heavy array artifacts for defense.

Currently, Celestial Star City didn’t even have those specially built array walls and warfare array artifacts, nor did it have a proper city wall comparable to those of larger mortal towns.
