Chaos Fierce Beasts Attack, Pangu Swats Them Away

The energy of the Origin of Heaven Opening Crystal was even purer than before. The moment Lin Yue integrated it into his Dantian, the crimson-golden vortex resonated violently, and the light of the Law Triangle nearly burst through his skin. Following Senior Pangu's guidance to "follow the Dao," he let the energy flow freely through his body. The Space Vitality Domain automatically expanded, forming an eighty-zhang pale green barrier around him—this was the first time he had triggered the domain unconsciously, meaning it was now deeply bound to his law core.

Halfway through absorbing the energy, Lin Yue suddenly felt the Spatial Domain tremble violently, with fine cracks appearing in the spatial patterns along its edge. He opened his eyes and saw three massive Fierce Beasts charging out of the distant Chaos Qi—not the Earth-Splitting Lizards from before, but Chaos Giant Bears he had never seen before. Each bear stood about five zhang tall, covered in black bristles, with claws gleaming like metal. Every step shook the ground violently, clearly drawn by the aura of the Origin of Heaven Opening.

"High-level Chaos Fierce Beasts!" Lin Yue's heart tightened. He immediately maximized the domain's defense while condensing five Space Blades aimed at the bears' eyes. The lead bear detected the attack and let out a deafening roar. The sound waves slammed into the Spatial Domain, widening the cracks in the barrier.

The lead bear raised its claw and struck the domain with full force. The moment the claw touched the barrier, a blinding golden light erupted. The domain shuddered violently as the pale green vitality energy frantically repaired the cracks, but it still couldn't withstand the bear's brute strength. The barrier's range was slowly shrinking.

"No way, the gap in strength is too big!" Lin Yue gritted his teeth, condensing more Space Blades while attempting to trap the bear's claw with a Space Seal. But the bear's power far exceeded his expectations—the Space Seal shattered as soon as it formed, and the claw continued bearing down on him, about to break through the domain.

Just as the situation reached a critical point, a golden light suddenly shot out from the valley, landing instantly among the three giant bears. The golden light made no sound, but it carried an irresistible pressure. The three bears froze in place as if pinned by an invisible hand, their eyes filled with terror, not even daring to roar.

Then, Pangu's figure appeared beside Lin Yue. Expressionless, he raised his hand and pressed down lightly toward the three bears. There was no earth-shattering explosion—the three bears were sent flying like kites with cut strings, crashing heavily into the distant Chaos Rock and falling unconscious. Black blood trickled down the rock, emitting a pungent stench.

Lin Yue stared in shock—the Chaos Giant Bears that had been so ferocious moments ago were utterly helpless before Senior Pangu. Was this the power of a Creation God?

Pangu turned, glanced at Lin Yue's pale face, then at the cracks on his domain, and said flatly, "Domain defense is insufficient. Law Fusion must be strengthened." He reached out a finger and tapped lightly on Lin Yue's domain. A thread of the Law of Heaven Opening merged into it, and the pale green glow of the domain instantly deepened. The previous cracks healed rapidly, leaving the domain even sturdier than before.

"Thank you, Senior, for saving me!" Lin Yue snapped back to reality and quickly expressed his gratitude, his heart full of relief. If Senior hadn't acted in time, he would have died under the bear's claws today.

"It is nothing." Pangu shook his head and turned to walk deeper into the valley. "Before the Heaven Opening, such Fierce Beasts will only grow more numerous. Stay by my side and do not leave without permission."

Lin Yue quickly followed, gaining a deeper understanding of the dangers of Chaos. Watching Pangu's back, he suddenly realized that Senior's protection wasn't meant to let him escape, but to give him time to grow. He had to strengthen the Space Vitality Domain as quickly as possible, raise his power, and gain the ability to protect himself, so Senior wouldn't have to worry about him anymore.

Back in the valley, Lin Yue immediately began repairing the domain. He fused the Law of Heaven Opening that Pangu had infused into him with the Laws of Space and Life, greatly enhancing the domain's defensive capabilities—it could now not only withstand a full-force strike from a Chaos Giant Bear but also automatically release Space Blades to counterattack when struck, achieving a "dual offense-defense" effect.

During this time, he didn't forget to absorb the energy from the Origin of Heaven Opening Crystal. With the Law of Heaven Opening's enhancement, the vortex in his Dantian gradually pushed toward the Early True Immortal realm. His Spatial Perception expanded to one hundred zhang, his teleportation range reached fifty zhang, and the Space Vitality Domain's range also expanded to one hundred zhang. The Vitality Spring within the domain could quickly restore his Chaos Qi and law energy.

One day, while Lin Yue was consolidating his domain, he suddenly sensed a familiar green light outside the valley—it was Great Immortal Yang Mei. When the Great Immortal saw him, a flicker of surprise crossed his eyes. "I didn't expect you to not only be fine but to have elevated your Spatial Domain to this level. It seems that fellow Pangu really cares about you."

"It's all thanks to the help of you and Senior Pangu," Lin Yue said humbly.

Great Immortal Yang Mei smiled, walked over to him, and examined the Space Vitality Domain. He nodded. "Not bad. The fusion of Space and Life laws is excellent, and with the Law of Heaven Opening's support, you'll have an extra layer of protection during the Heaven Opening. But remember, the dangers of the Heaven Opening go far beyond Fierce Beasts and Demon Gods—there are also Chaos Turbulence and Law Collapse. You must break through to True Immortal as soon as possible to truly have the ability to protect yourself."

Lin Yue nodded firmly. "This junior understands. I am working hard to break through."

Great Immortal Yang Mei didn't stay long. He only warned, "Don't leave the valley anytime soon. Luohu might test you again," before vanishing into a green light. Lin Yue watched the direction the Great Immortal had disappeared in and clenched his fists—he knew the day of the Heaven Opening was drawing near. He had to seize every moment to strengthen himself, so he could survive this world-creating upheaval and live up to the expectations of his seniors.
