The Lives of Grass and Weeds Were Never Lives!

Dozens of gray sword shadows, carrying an aura of Decay, instantly enveloped Jin Kuang.

Jin Kuang had no way to avoid it.

His eyes blazed with ferocity, and Dark Gold Demon Power surged wildly across his body. Instead of retreating, he charged forward, charging headlong into the Heavenly Sword.

Puff!

The sword's shadow pierced his flesh, instantly piercing more than a dozen bloody holes in Jin Kuang's chest and abdomen. The Decay sword intent frantically destroyed his life force along the wounds.

But the Dark Gold Line's bones were as hard as steel, and they withstood those deadly Sword Edge, determined to exchange injury for injury!

"Are you crazy?!"

The young man's expression changed drastically. Human Race cultivators always knew how to advance and retreat with restraint in battle; who would risk their life right from the start?

"Die! You damned Human Race!"

Jin Kuang grinned, his face covered in blood and foam, and let out a deafening roar.

He braced himself against the blade, closing in. His left claw shot out like lightning, viciously plucked at the young man's heart...

The young man was terrified. He tried to draw his sword and retreat, but found that the Jin Kuang's claw, making it impossible to pull out.

Life and death hang in the balance.

The young man could only loosen his grip on the sword hilt and summon a black iron shield to block in front of him.

Click!

The Dark Gold claws sliced through the black iron shield as easily as cutting tofu, and then pierced through the young man's chest.

The young man's eyes widened as he looked down at the bear's claw protruding from his chest. His lips moved, but he only coughed up a mouthful of blood.

Jin Kuang swung his right arm violently, throwing the young man's corpse against the rock wall, embedding it into the rock. He gasped for breath and casually tossed the iron sword to the ground.

"Damn, this guy's methods of killing are incredibly ruthless."

"Fortunately, he's a greenhorn, clearly lacking in combat experience. He seems to be an elite disciple of Grand Purity. Killing him is worthwhile!"

Jin Kuang laughed loudly, then, enduring his injuries, he thoroughly shredded the young man's corpse into a bloody pulp before stopping.

He rummaged through the scraps of meat and found a delicate Storage Bag.

As his Divine Sense probed in, Jin Kuang's eyes instantly lit up.

"As expected of the elite of the Grand Purity Sect, they have quite a few good items."

Storage Bag were not only tens of thousands of Spirit Stone, but also several bottles of healing pills emitting second- or even third-grade energy. At the very core lay a sword talisman that sealed a terrifying sword intent.

Jin Kuang swallowed two pills, and the blood hole in his chest healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, his body brimming with life!

He painstakingly pieced the young man's head out of the mangled flesh, hung it around his waist, and laughed wildly to the sky.

"Human Race prodigies? We'll devour you, Human Race prodigies!"

The Wei Kingdom, the Grand Purity Sect.

Inside the Soul Lamp Hall, a soul lamp engraved with the words "Ji'an" suddenly went out.

The elder guarding the soul lamp was deathly pale. He suppressed his grief and sighed.

"Ji'an's soul lamp has also gone out. Ji'an, what a pity..."

Inside the main hall, True Lord Qingxuan sat in the main seat, crushing the jade ruyi in his hand into powder, jade shavings falling in a flurry, his face terribly gloomy.

That young man Ji'an, was one of the successors he had painstakingly cultivated.

Possessing strength comparable to a False Core Realm, he actually died at the hands of a Foundation Establishment bear demon. Truly a mediocre talent, and an utterly stupid fool!

True Lord Qingxuan sighed and gave the order:

"Pass down the order: all disciples sent out to the sect must immediately return to the mountain gate, activate the sect's protective formation, and temporarily seal off the mountain."

"Abandon all surrounding Spirit Vein and resources for the time being."

"Sect Leader, what should we do with the subordinate Lineage and mortals?"

"I can't control them anymore. Let those people below fend for themselves. As long as my Grand Purity lineage Indestructibility, everything can be overturned and started anew." True Lord Qingxuan turned around and said no more.

It's not just the Grand Purity Sect.

At this moment, the high-ranking officials of the four kingdoms— Supreme Purity, One Qi Dao Gate, Righteous Qi Gate —surprisingly reached a consensus: the high-level cultivators remained hidden, allowing more than a hundred bear demons to rampage across the Human Race territory.

They chose silence, and in doing so, they chose to push hundreds of millions of lives at the bottom of society into the abyss.

Without the constraints of high-level cultivators, the bear demons were able to act with complete freedom.

Clear Blue Kingdom, Yin Province.

A Lineage that had been Foundation Establishment for centuries was trampled to pieces by a three-headed Lightning Bear.

The entire Lineage of over three hundred members, from the patriarch to the youngest children, perished. The Lightning Bear set up a large cauldron in the courtyard and boiled the flesh and blood of the Human Race cultivators. After their hearty meal, they left, leaving behind only a pile of white bones.

Profound Truth Kingdom, Huang Province.

A marketplace for Rogue Cultivator, numbering tens of thousands, was blocked by two Boulder bears.

The giant bear revealed its true form and rolled over the streets like a bulldozer, causing houses to collapse, leaving cries of agony everywhere, and crushing countless Qi Refining to death.

Slaughter spread wildly across the four kingdoms.

Falling Goose City, on the border of the Wei Kingdom.

This is a city where mortals and low-level cultivators live together, with a population of 300,000. It was originally an unknown small city.

Today, the sky is dark.

Boom!

A loud crash came from the direction of the city gate, and a large section of the ten-zhang-high bluestone city wall was smashed down...

Amidst the swirling dust, a massive, Primordial Giant Bear, its size resembling Xiaoshan, slowly strode into the city through the ruins.

Its body was covered in long, grayish-brown fur, its eyes were as red as blood lanterns, and half Human Race guard's thigh was hanging from the corner of its mouth.

"A demon... Demon Beast has entered the city!"

The city erupted in chaos, with countless ordinary people screaming in terror and fleeing in all directions.

The streets were trampled with countless people, and the cries and screams were deafening.

The Primordial Giant Bear let out an excited roar. It opened its blood-red maw and inhaled sharply, causing a gust of wind to rise from the ground, like a hurricane sweeping across the land.

Hundreds of ordinary people and low-level cultivators fleeing in the streets were unable to resist the suction force. They screamed as they were swept into the air and fell straight into the abyss-like maw of the giant bear.

Snap! Snap!

The giant bear clenched its jaws, and a chilling sound of bones cracking echoed throughout the area.

Blood, like a torrential rain, poured from between its teeth, staining the bluestone pavement crimson, as a bear devoured the city!

"You beast! Stop your arrogance!"

A furious roar came from the direction of the city lord's mansion.

An elderly man with white hair soared into the sky, stepping on a flying sword, his body radiating the spiritual energy fluctuations of Foundation Establishment Middle Stage.

He was the city lord of Falling Goose City, and also the person with the highest cultivation level in the city.

The old man stared at the horrific scene below, his eyes bloodshot and bulging with rage. He knew he was no match for the bear demon, but he did not back down.

"I have guarded Falling Goose City for a hundred years. As long as the city stands, I stand; if the city falls, I fall!"

The old man suddenly bit his tongue, spitting out a mouthful of Essence Blood.

His spiritual energy surged violently, and he transformed into a dazzling fireball, charging towards the giant bear's head with a resolute will to die.

Boom!

A violent explosion ripped open at the bear's jaw, sending flames soaring into the sky.

The giant bear was knocked back two steps, and a large patch of fur on its chin was burned off, oozing a trickle of blood.

Enraged, the giant bear slapped away the remaining flames, letting out a deafening roar, its killing intent growing ever stronger.

"Human Race, you're hurting me!"

The giant bear roared and bit the old man, swallowing him whole and refining him.

The old city lord's death was tragic, but it ignited the fighting spirit of the people in the city. Some of the cultivators who had been recruited by the old city lord were burning with rage!

"The city lord is dead! Fight this beast to the death!"

"Kill the demon!"

A dozen or so Qi Refining Realm cultivators, their eyes bloodshot, wielded flying swords and fireballs, rushing towards the giant bear like moths to a flame.

"We Human Race will never submit to slaughter!"

"My Dao is flourishing, you Demon Race, cease your arrogance!"

Even ordinary martial artists without cultivation brought out the city's ballistae, drew their bowstrings taut, and fired thick steel bolts, as thick as a child's arm, fiercely at the giant bear.

Pfft! Pfft!

The Law Technique struck the giant bear, but failed to even break its fur; the crossbow bolts, when they hit, only left faint white marks.

A cruel glint flashed in the bear's eyes. It raised its massive paw and slammed it down.

Bang!

The seven or eight Qi Refining cultivators at the forefront were smashed into mincemeat before they could even scream.

But no one backed down.

One fell, two took its place!

When the Law Artifact shattered, he bit it with his teeth; when his spiritual energy dried up, he detonated his Dantian, preferring death to surrender, stubbornly guarding his isolated city.

The Human Race of Falling Goose City used their own flesh and blood to build a desperate yet incredibly resilient defensive line.

They were as weak as ants, yet at this moment they displayed tenacity and resilience. But noble people do not necessarily have a happy ending.

At the moment when all sides of the Human Race chose to abandon the lower-level cultivators.

No amount of sacrifice can change the minds of those in power, and the people of this city will eventually become food for the Primordial Giant Bear!

A young, unaffiliated Rogue Cultivator, limping and covered in wounds, still stood tall, his sword pointed at the giant bear.

"For our nation! For our descendants! For the prosperity of our sect!"

"Please, gentlemen, follow me..."

"Kill the enemy!!!"
