"Good beast! You really have some skill!"
Hearing the Bear Demon's words, Li Yunjing's expression turned cold. He knew the Demon Race had begun clearing the area in advance. The Witch-Demon War was immense in scale. Even though the two races dominated the Primordial World, neither dared claim certain victory. To prevent other forces from profiting at their expense, they had already begun forcibly recruiting forces everywhere. Anyone unwilling to serve as cannon fodder would be killed without mercy!
That was why Li Yunjing had suddenly been attacked while passing through this place.
"Hey, Daoist, surrender at once! Otherwise, when our Demon Race army arrives, you'll be reduced to ashes immediately!"
The Black Bear Spirit commanded one side, and his cultivation had reached the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm. The armor and weapons issued to him were all from the Heavenly Court, and their quality was quite high. Once he revealed his full combat strength, he truly gave Li Yunjing a slight shock.
One could infer the whole from a single part. It was clear what kind of power the two races had accumulated after developing for so many years. No wonder both sides were eager to fight and prepared to decide the ownership of the Primordial World.
"Hmph! If you're capable, come chase me!"
Unwilling to entangle himself with the Bear Demon any longer, Li Yunjing moved. With a flash of Soaring Golden Light, he had already flown three thousand miles away. This was not the limit of Li Yunjing's divine ability. After a Black Bear Spirit had come knocking, anger had ignited in his heart, and he was naturally waiting for the Bear Demon to pursue him.
"Hey! Daoist, you still want to run?"
The Black Bear Spirit put away his pair of great hammers, a savage look appearing on his face. He took out a large azure bow again and drew it back with his powerful arms. With three whooshes, he shot nine sharp arrows once more. One arrow manifested the Nine Stars. This Bear Demon's archery was extraordinary. Each arrow tore through the sky, ripped open the void, and shot toward Li Yunjing's back.
"Stupid bear! You still need more practice with your archery!"
Changing direction, Li Yunjing laughed heartily. His figure suddenly accelerated, flashing thirty thousand miles away as he rapidly flew toward the uninhabited mountain forest.
"Damn it! He's running so fast? Flying Dove, come with me to hunt down that Daoist. The Witch Race's defeat is already certain. The two of us being absent won't affect the bigger picture!"
With a rumble, the giant bear revealed his true form. He was a hundred zhang tall, moving on all fours. One paw struck the ground, and mountains collapsed and the earth split apart. With one step, he covered ten thousand zhang. The giant bear's speed reached its utmost limit. Like a phantom, he rolled up billowing dust, smashed through countless rocks and trees, and charged straight after Li Yunjing.
In the air, a hundred-zhang raptor spread its wings. Though it had set out later, it overtook the giant bear in an instant. Its sharp, enormous talons locked onto Li Yunjing's figure. While in the air, it controlled the hurricanes, ready to dive down and tear Li Yunjing to death at any moment.
"What a pair! They're actually two great demons at the Grand Unity Golden Immortal level. These demons are truly insane!"
Li Yunjing's expression remained calm as he continuously traversed the land. At the same time, his divine sense radiated in all directions. Since he had developed killing intent, he naturally had to handle things cleanly. These two great demons had to die, but his whereabouts could not be exposed either.
"Damn it! Where did this rogue cultivator come from? Could he have some background?" Flying Dove suddenly transmitted to the Black Bear Spirit.
"What's there to worry about? The entire world belongs to our Heavenly Court. No matter how great his background is, can it be greater than the Heavenly Court's? The Heavenly Emperor Di Jun has issued an edict. We just need to kill him without restraint!"
The Black Bear Spirit transmitted back to Flying Dove dismissively. It was not that he lacked cunning. Anyone who could cultivate to the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm in the dangerous Primordial World was naturally no fool.
The truth was that the Heavenly Court was simply too overbearing. Over the years, aside from the Witch Race, which dared to contend with the Demon Race, all other forces had to retreat when they saw the demons. These various displays had caused the Demon Race, from top to bottom, to develop an attitude of looking down on everyone.
The two sides chased and fled, their terrifying auras spreading across a hundred thousand miles. They finally arrived at a valley with no cultivators present. Li Yunjing stopped and turned to attack Flying Dove. He swung the Nine Heavens Divine Sword, and divine thunder filled the sky. This demon's escape technique was extremely fast, so he had to kill him first. Otherwise, if he escaped and spread Li Yunjing's appearance, the consequences would be troublesome.
With the Heavenly Court's power, even if Li Yunjing was completely unknown, they would still dig out his background, bringing him endless trouble afterward.
Although Li Yunjing had the Three Pure Ones protecting him, he could not rely on his three teachers for everything and cause trouble for them. Otherwise, if his displays of incompetence fell into the eyes of the Three Pure Ones, he might be marginalized in the future and gain no benefits at all. That would truly be losing more than he gained.
Li Yunjing understood the dispositions of the Three Pure Ones perfectly. None of them were afraid of trouble. As Tongtian's fifth direct disciple, he naturally had to display the dignity of the Orthodox Xuanmen and fight for honor.
After fleeing wildly all the way, Li Yunjing's performance had been thoroughly scorned by the brave and warlike Demon Race generals. Without realizing it, the two demons had grown somewhat contemptuous of him.
At that moment, Li Yunjing suddenly struck. Condensed killing intent erupted, stirring the clouds in all directions. Billowing murderous intent overturned heaven and earth. This was Li Yunjing's peak attack. A simple sword thrust contained the Law of Destruction, Tongtian's supreme sword dao, and the killing power of an Innate Spiritual Treasure. It was the essence of Li Yunjing's ten thousand years of sword cultivation!
With one thrust, heaven and earth changed color. The lightning-fast strike pierced through Flying Dove's skull, while the Law of Destruction obliterated Flying Dove's Nascent Soul. It was an instant kill!
"Flying Dove!"
Terror filled the Black Bear Spirit's eyes. He could never have imagined that the insignificant figure he had looked down upon could erupt with such terrifying power. His huge body swayed and instantly transformed into human form. The magic treasure longbow in his hand was quickly strung. With three whooshes, another string of Nine Stars shot out. At the same time, he stomped heavily, and the Law of Earth spread outward. Countless sharp stone spikes shot into the sky from the ground and flew toward Li Yunjing.
For a full thirty thousand miles, the sky was filled with stone spikes flying from the earth. Like rain, they shot toward Li Yunjing.
"Clouds Stir Under the Nine Heavens, Heavenly Thunder Destroys Demons!"
Supreme Purity immortal qi protected his body. Li Yunjing let out a cold laugh and swung the Nine Heavens Divine Sword downward. Even a low-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure was not something a mere Black Bear Spirit could withstand. In an instant, billions of thunderballs rumbled down like a galaxy falling onto the earth.
All the stone spikes were shattered by the thunderballs. The boundless lightning smashed apart the Black Bear Spirit's protective demon qi and pierced through wound after wound. Blood continuously flowed out, astonishingly converging into a small river.
"World Grinding Plate! Suppress!"
Li Yunjing pointed forward. Brilliant light burst from between his brows, and an aura that destroyed everything spread outward. The World Grinding Plate flew out of Li Yunjing's body. The moment the Black Bear Spirit landed upon it, the grinding plate moved with a creak. The great demon, whose cultivation had reached the peak of the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm, was directly ground into a bloody mist. He could not resist even for an instant!
"Heh heh! The killing power of a life-bound supreme treasure is truly astonishing. It's just a pity that I can't reveal it before others!"
Li Yunjing instantly withdrew the World Grinding Plate into his sea of consciousness. His Nascent Soul continued entering the supreme treasure, constantly nurturing it while refining the restrictions within.
