Whoosh!
The sky rang with a torrential rush of air as over a thousand streaks of light shot out from every corner of the collapsing ground at once.
Surging spiritual energy rippled around every figure, its multicolored radiance turning the dark gold sky into a vibrant painting.
The spectacular sight of a thousand people charging together suddenly filled the once silent, oppressive landscape with boiling fervor.
The young experts converging from all directions wore resolute looks.
They knew this charge would either take them up Bone Mountain to undergo purification in the Dragon-Phoenix Pool, or leave them forever in this land of bones, food for the White-Scaled Bears.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Deafening explosions of spiritual energy mingled with the roars of the White-Scaled Bears, shaking the heavens.
Fierce streams of spiritual energy swept out like the Grim Reaper's scythe through the white beast tide, each sweep killing dozens of White-Scaled Bears and sending them plummeting.
The pale corpses of White-Scaled Bears rained from the sky.
But there were simply too many of them. As wave after wave surged forward, the vast force attacking White Bone Mountain began to suffer inevitable casualties, despite the young experts fighting with all their strength.
Every so often, one or two unfortunate souls who charged too far ahead were pounced on by several White-Scaled Bears at once. Their protective spiritual energy was shredded like paper beneath sharp, scaled claws, and they were dragged screaming into the depths of the beast tide, torn to pieces within moments.
The entire area had become an enormous meat grinder.
A sickeningly thick stench of blood spread through the air, some from White-Scaled Bears, some from humans.
Blood stained the already pale bones, making them all the more gruesome. Severed limbs and scraps of flesh mingled with jagged white bone
