Chapter 376

The power they once believed invincible became insignificant before this bear demon.

They quickly retreated, trying to evade the ferocious bear demon's attacks, but the bear demon pursued relentlessly, each strike delivering an unstoppable force.

A terrifying sound echoed through the air, shaking the souls of all who heard it.

Lin Bai showed no hesitation—he leapt straight up, soaring to the treetop canopy, his gaze watching with keen interest.

Faced with this bear demon of unimaginable power, they gradually lost the courage to fight; its demonic presence pierced deep into their hearts, filling them with the shadow of death.

Wang Ye and several others, witnessing one of their comrades slaughtered, erupted in furious rage; braving the bear demon's threat, they charged forward with blazing fury, wielding various magic treasures.

Wang Ye held a long sword glowing with golden light, its blade engraved with mysterious runes—his most precious treasure: Jin Jian Wu Shuang.

He swung the sword, golden blade-light surging skyward, forming a golden net of light to bind the bear demon; yet the bear demon's strength was too great, the binding effect of Jin Jian Wu Shuang negligible, and the bear demon broke free effortlessly.

Another wielded a mysterious staff inlaid with a brilliant gem; he chanted incantations, and the staff emitted dazzling radiance—a bolt of lightning descended from the heavens, striking the bear demon.

Yet the bear demon's fur emitted a terrifying protective aura, dissolving the lightning with immense power, leaving not a single scratch.

Another Golden Core expert summoned his wind attribute technique, spreading his hands as whirlwinds roared around him, swirling sand, dust, and rocks, preparing to trap the bear demon.

But the bear demon drew a deep breath and suddenly exhaled a powerful flame, instantly scattering the Golden Core expert's gales and obliterating his fierce technique.

Their efforts proved futile; the bear demon's power surpassed all imagination, one after another they were grievously wounded. Wang Ye, seeing this, grew anxious—he took a deep breath and resolved to risk everything.

He gathered all his inner cultivation energy and launched a furious charge toward the bear demon.

Yet the bear demon's attack speed was astonishing—a powerful swipe struck Wang Ye; he hastily raised Jin Jian Wu Shuang to block, but was blasted backward several steps, blood trickling from his lips.

In that moment of despair, two others rushed forward to shield Wang Ye and launched a fatal strike.

But the bear demon effortlessly blocked their attack, countering with a single punch that sent them flying; their spiritual power faded rapidly, their bodies collapsed lifelessly to the ground.

Wang Ye watched all this, his heart pierced like a knife—these were all people he had befriended, some even shared life, death, and rebirth with him.

He felt despair and helplessness, yet he knew he could not give up.

He gripped Jin Jian Wu Shuang tightly, resolved to fight to the death—but even he could not stop the bear demon's brutality; ultimately, he was struck down, flung backward, his wounds growing ever worse.

All of this was witnessed by Meng Meng Zining and the others who had just arrived—their eyes filled with shock and panic; they never imagined that so soon after stepping onto the island, they would encounter such a disaster!

Before anyone could react, the bear demon's blood-red eyes, nostrils spewing flame, turned toward them!

As they were about to perish, Lin Bai acted!

The moment Lin Bai descended from the sky, his sword was already drawn; as he swung it, heaven and earth roared as one, and in an instant, the heavens cracked and the earth shattered.

His body shot upward like lightning, and beside him appeared a blinding blade-light, instantly sharpening into a blade as fierce as a bolt of lightning slicing through darkness.

The bear demon's eyes widened in terror; it tried to block, but Lin Bai's sword technique descended like a heavenly demon, unstoppable.

The blade-light clashed violently with the bear demon; the air filled with the acrid stench of sulfur. In an instant, the stars in the sky dimmed, as if bowed by the sword's might.

With a deafening roar, the bear demon's body was pierced through by the blade-light, its massive form collapsing like a kite with severed strings.

The ground split open in that instant, rocks shattered and flew in all directions, dust billowed—suddenly, the entire world trembled.

Seeing the bear demon reduced to nothing but ash, Lin Bai sheathed his sword and walked calmly toward Wang Ye, who lay collapsed and grievously wounded.

·······

At this moment, Wang Ye was utterly stunned.

He and several others had just expended every last ounce of strength—and still could not scratch the bear demon.

Lin Bai had merely swung his sword once!

And heaven cracked, earth split, sun and moon lost their light!

Before he could blink, the bear demon was already obliterated!

He asked himself: even if he was at his worst, the Jin Jian in his hand was, at the very least, a sword magic treasure, and one that the Zong Sect had specially retrieved from the forbidden grounds.

He asked himself: even if he was weak, his Jin Jian was still a magic treasure—indeed, one specially retrieved from the sect's forbidden zone.

His strength realm was even Golden Core late stage—and yet he barely survived, grievously wounded.

What about Lin Bai?

Without a single superfluous movement, he had slain the bear demon so casually!

Not a single extra motion—so casually, he slew the bear demon!

This!

This!!

This is too outrageous!!!

His heart could not settle.

Meng Meng Zining and the others were even more stunned.

For they had just arrived and immediately sensed the bear demon's overwhelming aura and pressure.

Without doubt, its strength realm was no less than Divine King Realm—at worst, Myriad Phenomena Realm.

Yet such a beast, at least Myriad Phenomena Realm, was slain in a single slash by Lin Bai!

The moment he drew his sword, heaven and earth dimmed; the power of that single sword could be judged solely by the fact that the bear demon was erased to nothing.

One must know: Myriad Phenomena Realm differs from Golden Core—it possesses a natural defensive aura, invulnerable except by Divine King Realm experts; even wielding a supreme treasure would not suffice, for one too low in realm cannot unlock the treasure's true power.

But Lin Bai achieved it.

He killed a Myriad Phenomena Realm great demon as a Golden Core Realm expert.

One can only imagine how precious Lin Bai's sword truly was.

Until now, she had only heard her master speak of the Qing Hua Immortal from Wu Shi Sacred Land, who had forged five such magic treasures.

Could this sword be one of them?

And it was in Lin Bai's hands!

【59】 What did this mean?
