Little Bear Monarch

"You sinister, cunning humans, enough nonsense. If you want to fight, then fight. I will never betray my kin."

As soon as Bear Monarch finished speaking, he raised his massive claws and lunged at Chen Ping'an.

His arms slowly lifted. The terrifyingly long Dark Gold Terror Claws slammed down toward Chen Ping'an.

In an instant, black cracks appeared around the sharp claws.

The Dark Gold Terror Claws were so terrifying that they tore open even space itself.

"Interesting!"

Chen Ping'an summoned the Immortal Slaying Sword.

With one sword strike, he cleaved through the air.

A terrifying sword aura shot through the sky.

The instant the giant claw collided with the sword aura, space itself seemed to freeze, and a dazzling light erupted between them.

Bear Monarch staggered back several steps. A deep sword mark had appeared on his bear paw, blood flowing from it.

"So strong!"

Bear Monarch glared furiously at Chen Ping'an. He had not expected the human before him to be so powerful that his full-force strike had been so easily neutralized.

And that was without his opponent even using a soul skill!

Chen Ping'an stood with his sword in hand, his gaze unwavering as he advanced toward Bear Monarch step by step.

With every step he took, cracks appeared in space, displaying his overwhelming aura.

Bear Monarch felt Chen Ping'an's pressure and knew he had encountered a true opponent.

Yet he did not retreat. Instead, he swung both palms again and launched another attack.

This attack was even more ferocious. His bear paws tore through the air with a fierce howl.

Terrifying dark-gold radiance filled the entire sky, each sharp claw transforming into a hundred-meter-long dark-gold blade.

The enormous Dark Gold Terror Claws seemed ready to rip apart the entire sky.

"I won't use any soul skills. If you can survive beneath my Immortal Slaying Sword, I'll spare your life."

As soon as Chen Ping'an finished speaking, he directly unleashed his domain.

"Immortal Slaying Domain!"

"Cunning human, didn't you say you wouldn't use soul skills?!"

Bear Monarch was dumbfounded. The moment he was enveloped by the Immortal Slaying Domain, he instantly sensed the aura of death.

"I said I wouldn't use soul skills, but this is a domain."

Chen Ping'an let out a sinister chuckle.

Within the domain, attack power increased by one hundred percent. Even without soul skills, he could still utterly crush him.

Just as the giant claw was about to strike Chen Ping'an, Chen Ping'an moved even faster. His body flashed, evading the bear paw's attack.

At the same time, he casually swung the Immortal Slaying Sword in his hand, sending another powerful sword aura slashing toward Bear Monarch.

Bear Monarch desperately tried to dodge, but he was still wounded by the sword aura, leaving a deep gash across his body.

He roared in fury, using every ounce of strength he had in an attempt to break free of the Immortal Slaying Domain's restraints.

"Damn human, how can you possess such a powerful domain?!"

Within this domain, he could also clearly sense that Chen Ping'an's attack power had increased greatly.

His strength far exceeded Bear Monarch's imagination.

Yet no matter how he struggled, he could not escape his predicament.

The crucial point was that within this domain, he could not send news out or call anyone over to help.

"Your four hundred and eighty thousand years of cultivation are nothing special after all."

Chen Ping'an sneered, and the Immortal Slaying Sword in his hand moved again.

A trace of despair flashed through Bear Monarch's eyes, but he was still unwilling to admit defeat like this. With the last of his strength, he let out an enraged roar.

His body began to expand, his fur becoming even thicker, while his injured bear paw rapidly healed.

"This is... entering a berserk state? Interesting."

Bear Monarch's strength greatly increased in his berserk state.

With an angry roar, he shouted, "Sky Tearing Claw!"

The terrifying giant claw swung toward the void.

Space was directly torn apart, and faint shrill cries echoed from within the rift.

This was Bear Monarch's strongest strike.

Even a level-one-hundred expert would have to think twice before facing this attack.

However, Bear Monarch had not used this claw to attack Chen Ping'an. Instead, he directly broke through the Immortal Slaying Domain.

And ran away.

"???"

Chen Ping'an was utterly bewildered.

Well damn, he ran the moment he realized he couldn't win. You really are something.

But that was exactly what Chen Ping'an had wanted.

Running away was best. He could conveniently see where their lair was.

Besides, the injured Bear Monarch might just go looking for Bi Ji.

And Bi Ji... perhaps she was still quite alluring.

Bear Monarch fled toward the core region of the Star Dou Great Forest.

At that moment, Chen Ping'an sensed the aura of another ferocious beast.

"Tsk~"

"Five hundred and eighty thousand—no, five hundred and seventy thousand, nearly five hundred and eighty thousand years. Not as terrifying as the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear. It must be that alluring Bi Ji."

Chen Ping'an put away the Immortal Slaying Sword and headed toward the core region.

In the core region, by the lake.

The Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape, who were still recovering from their injuries, were startled by Bi Ji's sudden appearance. Normally, Bi Ji would not rashly come out.

At that very moment, a colossal beast descended from the sky.

Bear Monarch was much larger than even the Titan Giant Ape, and his aura was even more terrifying.

The Titan Giant Ape was so frightened that he retreated several steps and hid behind the Sky Azure Bull Python.

Bi Ji asked with concern, "Bear Monarch, how did you suffer such severe injuries? Who exactly is that person?"

"That human is too strong, truly too strong. He defeated me without even using soul skills."

Only after arriving here did Bear Monarch finally breathe a sigh of relief.

At the same time, Bi Ji was treating his injuries.

The Sky Azure Bull Python asked, "Could he be the one who severely injured my brother and me?"

"Who exactly is that person? He not only grievously wounded the two of you, but can also defeat Bear Monarch. Could he be a level-one-hundred expert?"

Bi Ji fell into thought. Having lived for so many years, she had seen quite a few level-one-hundred experts.

But in recent years, due to changes in the rules, it had become impossible for level-one-hundred experts to emerge.

Those known level-one-hundred experts had all sealed their six senses and lay in their coffins.

Bear Monarch explained, "Probably not. From what I saw, he was only level ninety, but his Soul Power was incredibly dense, and the sword in his hand was terrifying. The sword aura from a mere swing was enough to injure me."

"That's even more impossible. Bear Monarch, your strength is infinitely close to that of a Peerless Douluo. How could you be defeated by a level-ninety Titled Douluo?"

Bi Ji was already beginning to suspect that the man had to be a disguised level-one-hundred expert.

"He must be a level-one-hundred expert in disguise."

"Impossible. He was definitely level ninety, and he was very young. He couldn't possibly be a level-one-hundred expert."

As Bi Ji treated Bear Monarch's wounds, the two began arguing again.

The Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape had no chance to interrupt and could only watch from the side.

"Oh? Treating wounds, are we~"

From midair, Chen Ping'an looked at the four hundred-thousand-year-level soul beasts and became interested.

He had not expected the Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape to recover so quickly.

Part of the Sky Azure Bull Python's severed tail had already regrown.

"How dare he? He actually followed us here."

Bear Monarch immediately rose to his feet in fright, glaring at Chen Ping'an with hostile eyes.

However, Chen Ping'an did not look at him, instead turning his gaze toward Bi Ji.

"You're that alluring Bi Ji, aren't you?"
