A Thread Between Life and Death
Bang bang bang!
A series of violent collisions caused the chain rune, which was almost back to its previous dull state, to suddenly shine with golden light again, and a huge Golden Barrier sealed off the eyes.
However, the banging sounds did not stop; instead, they grew louder and more intense.
Oh no, is a powerful creature about to emerge from inside?
Could it be a powerful expert from Outer Realm Demons?
Are they planning to invade the Human Race world from here?
Bang bang bang!
The impacts grew stronger and stronger, each one like a thunderclap, causing the surrounding air to tremble violently.
The sounds of impact grew increasingly intense, as if a raging beast was frantically crashing against the cage, determined not to give up until it had completely broken through this barrier.
The Golden Barrier, under the violent impact, continuously emitted dazzling golden light, like an indestructible city wall, firmly sealing off this crucial passage.
However, as the terrifying impact continued, the runes on the Golden Barrier gradually dimmed, and the originally powerful sealing force weakened little by little.
Upon seeing this, Hua Xingchen's face instantly turned ashen.
A deep sense of despair welled up inside me.
His internal Yuan Power was almost depleted, and every bit of Yuan Power that was lost made him feel extremely weak.
If the opponent continues to relentlessly ram him, he will have to mobilize his remaining Yuan Power to replenish the gradually weakening runes.
But at this moment, he was exhausted to the extreme, his body felt completely drained, and he was so weak that even a gentle breeze could knock him over.
He was genuinely worried that if he were to input Yuan Power, he would perish here.
His heart was filled with resentment; he still had too many worries, and he still wanted to go back to see his gentle and beautiful wife Gu Hongyan.
He remembered his wife's smile and all the little things they had shared; they were his only support in this difficult situation.
Hua Xingchen had secretly vowed that no matter what, he could not fall here; he had to live and go back to see her!
"Snap!"
A sharp metallic cracking sound, like a thunderclap, suddenly entered Hua Xingchen's ears, making him feel as if his soul was about to die.
Hua Xingchen's face turned deathly pale in an instant, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
He knew that every chain here was of irreplaceable importance and absolutely could not be damaged.
Because these chains carry a vital mission, the power of the runes on them will be greatly reduced if they are damaged.
Even if I poured all my Yuan Power into it, I couldn't restore it to its original state, let alone unleash its most powerful sealing power.
"Crack!" Another chilling sound of chains breaking rang out.
Hua Xingchen's heart sank; things couldn't go on like this.
If these chains were to break, the terrifying creatures behind the seal would be released.
At that time, this world will surely suffer their merciless destruction and bloody slaughter.
Hua Xingchen clenched his teeth, a resolute look on his face.
He steeled his resolve and placed his hands on the golden barrier without hesitation.
At this moment, he had very little Yuan Power left in his body, but without the slightest hesitation, he poured that precious Yuan Power back in.
His eyes were filled with determination and resolve, as if he were going to use all his strength to protect this world and stop the impending disaster.
Suddenly, an enormous claw covered in gray fur, like a demonic hand reaching out from the Abyss of darkness, grasped a chain that shimmered with a mysterious golden light.
The golden light emanating from the chains, like sharp arrows, relentlessly attacked and corroded the menacing giant claw.
Under this powerful attack, the giant claw visibly emitted wisps of white smoke, and soon turned charred black, as if it had been scorched by a raging fire.
Ah--hiss... ah!
The owner of the giant claw kept letting out extremely painful roars, the sounds of which seemed to penetrate one's soul and terrify people.
However, even while enduring such immense pain, it showed no sign of giving up.
The giant claw gripped the chain tightly, pulling desperately as if engaged in a life-or-death struggle with an invincible enemy.
The chains were also making a "crackling" sound as they were pulled by the giant claws, seemingly unable to bear the weight and as if they would be torn apart at any moment.
"Clap clap clap!"
Several more equally enormous claws emerged from the darkness and gripped the shaky chain firmly.
The next moment, accompanied by a deafening roar, the chain snapped with a loud "bang".
The moment it broke, it seemed as if the whole world trembled.
Pfft!
Hua Xingchen was jolted by the powerful backlash and coughed up a mouthful of blood. His body flew backward more than ten meters like a kite with a broken string.
The crimson blood drew an arc in the air, a horrifying sight.
The seal, having lost one of its chains, shattered as easily as tofu.
A furry, bear-like head slowly emerged from within.
The head was enormous, with every hair standing on end, exuding a chilling aura.
Its two eyes flashed with an eerie red light, like the eyes of a demon from hell, sending chills down one's spine.
Hehehe!
"I, the Heavenly Demon Bear, have finally opened up this passage!"
As the figure fully emerged from the sealed passage, a powerful pressure spread out, as if it would envelop the entire world.
The Heavenly Demon Bear glanced at Hua Xingchen lying on the ground, and curled his lip, as if such a being was nothing but trash in his eyes, and could not arouse his interest at all.
He turned his head and shouted into those enormous eyes, "My lads, come forth and begin our conquest!"
Swish, swish, swish...
One after another, enormous figures emerged from the Demon Eye. In the blink of an eye, dozens of bear-like creatures with massive bodies and covered in gray fur appeared in the valley.
Hua Xingchen struggled to his feet, a Longsword appearing in his hand.
He pointed his sword at the bears and roared, "You beasts, I will not allow you to set foot in my Human Race world!"
Having said that, he mustered his last strength and thrust his sword at the first Heavenly Demon Bear to emerge.
A look of disdain flashed in the eyes of the Heavenly Demon Bear, and it casually slapped out with its massive Bear Palm.
Buzz!
The air vibrated, and then a huge palm print slammed directly onto Hua Xingchen's body.
Bang!
Pfft!
Hua Xingchen was thrown through the air in an arc before crashing heavily dozens of meters away, spitting out several mouthfuls of blood, his aura extremely weak.
"You ignorant fool, you're the first creature I've encountered since I came into this world, so I'll use you as a snack!"
The Heavenly Demon Bear reached out and grabbed at Hua Xingchen.
Hua Xingchen was completely powerless to resist. He was grabbed by the Bear Claws and pulled in front of the Heavenly Demon Bear's mouth.
The Heavenly Demon Bear opened its mouth, about to stuff Hua Xingchen into it and start eating.
