In a forest of towering ancient trees, a black shadow raced over from afar. He was so fast that before many beastly figures could even react, the black shadow had already vanished.
Just as the black shadow was about to burst out of the forest—
Several earthen walls rose up, turning into city walls that enclosed a cage and trapped the black shadow within.
"Roar!" Without any further words, a colossal figure leaped down from the end of the skyline with a thunderous roar.
Once it drew closer, one could see that it was an enormous black bear.
The black shadow appeared somewhat flustered, yet he still activated a secret art, trying to flee at top speed.
But at that very moment, countless earthen spikes surged from the void, as though they had predicted his path.
Yet the black shadow had no way to turn back. He could only activate his secret art. In an instant, earthen spikes and rocks flew everywhere, the deafening sound like mountains collapsing and earth splitting apart.
"Roar!" Another roar rang out. Before him, another colossal figure descended.
There were actually two Earth-Rending Sky Bear Demon Emperors.
With nowhere to evade, the black shadow was smashed apart with a single swipe, turning into a pool of blood.
Strangely, however, no Nascent Soul emerged.
"It really was a clone. What a pity!" The first Earth-Rending Sky Bear to appear could not help sighing. Though it had long suspected as much, it still found it regrettable.
"Let's go. The Demon Saint ordered us not to let a single human pass through. There may be others," the Earth-Rending Sky Bear beside it said as well.
Elsewhere amid the mountains lay a vast grassland.
The water and grass were lush, their color a rich green.
