Han Yi had participated in two regular missions in the Eastern Void Battlefield; the second mission was labeled sequence thirty-seven, which involved "intercepting and clearing Demonic Beast Eggs." During that mission, he encountered numerous Evil Beasts from the Evil Beast Clan.
However, at that time, the Evil Beasts he met were newly hatched from the beast eggs. Even the strongest among them were merely Fifth-stage Evil Beasts, which were comparable to Spirit Transformation cultivators, and not even a peak Fifth-stage Evil Beast had shown itself. In the end, Han Yi easily slew them.
But the presence he sensed now was an endless tide of Evil Beasts in the Void, sweeping over like a wild flood. Although the strongest individuals were also Fifth-stage and none exceeded that stage, he sensed a substantial number of peak Fifth-stage individuals—in a rough estimate during a single breath, at least several thousand peak Fifth-stage.
