Changes on All Sides, Turmoil Looms!
At the same moment, in the southern border of the Beast Realm.
Deep in the dense forest, three Spirit Transformation demon immortals were gathered in a hidden underground cave.
Leading the group was a white-faced fox demon, at the Middle Spirit Transformation, with a bewitching appearance; she also held a jade talisman in her hand, activating her Divine Sense in an attempt to send a message to the outside world.
"Faster, faster!"
A black-armored lizard behind them urged in a low voice, its vertical pupils filled with anxiety. "That old eagle hasn't sent back any news for three days. It's most likely dead."
The other serpent-tailed, human-bodied demon sneered, "So what if you're broken? Instead of worrying about others, you should think about how to escape yourself."
The white-faced fox demon's fingers trembled slightly as she channeled her Law Power into the jade talisman.
The patterns on the surface of the jade talisman lit up for a moment, then dimmed.
Message transmission failed.
"The boundary has been sealed off." The white-faced fox demon's face was deathly pale. "It's not just my side; all the void nodes that can pass through the Beast Realm have been cut off."
The black-armored lizard froze.
The snake-tailed fairy's expression changed drastically, and she suddenly stood up. "Retreat! Retreat now! Head south, bypass..."
Before he could finish speaking...
The cave ceiling collapsed silently.
No, it wasn't a collapse, but rather it was lifted up entirely by an invisible giant hand, along with thousands of feet of rock.
Sunlight pierced the earth, and the three Spirit Transformation demons looked up.
Above the heavens, a divine image stood level with the sky.
The Great Dao originates from the earth, completely locking down the void within a radius of ten thousand miles; the one who came was none other than the Dao Venerable Xuan Tu of the Beast Realm, who personally descended upon the scene.
The jade talisman in the white-faced fox demon's hand shattered with a "crack".
She knelt down, her body limp, unable even to muster the will to struggle.
When the Dao Venerable makes a move, even those Spirit Transformation immortals are reduced to mere ants.
"After three months of investigation, we've finally gotten rid of these thorns in our side."
Xuan Earth Dao Zun spoke, his voice icy cold.
"What benefits has the Mystic Realm given you that are worth risking your lives for?"
The white-faced fox demon opened its mouth, but before it could speak.
An invisible force crushed down, obliterating her Spirit Transformation Soul, Nascent Soul, and even her alluring body into nothingness.
Clean and neat, leaving not a single crumb.
Both the black-armored lizard and the snake-tailed fairy vanished into nothingness.
The Dao Venerable Dharma Image withdrew its Dao power and then slowly dissipated into the sky; since the eight Dao Venerable issued their decrees, a total of seven rebellious Spirit Transformation and more than thirty Nascent Soul spies have been eliminated from the Beast Realm.
Any spy attempting to transmit intelligence to the outside world.
Almost completely eradicated, all parties in the Beast Realm reached an unprecedented consensus.
The Vast Realm, deep within the East Sea.
Two azure dragons, slightly smaller than the ten-thousand-foot-long true dragon, slowly rose from the seabed.
Their bodies were surrounded by surging Water Dao energy and permeated with Daoist power; although not as terrifying as that ancestor, they were still genuine Dao Venerable Dao Fruit.
Two Dao Venerable.
One is the master of the Water Dao [Converging Water] position, and the other is the master of the Water Dao [Clear Water] position.
Two dragons burst forth from the sea and soared into the heavens.
They did not head straight for the Human Realm, but instead took a detour, passing through a hidden area at the border of the Vast Realm and the Beast Realm, where they completed the final confirmation with the venerable beings of the Beast Realm.
Then, the two dragon shadows transformed into two invisible dark currents, silently stealthily heading towards the Human Realm.
They have only one task.
Keep an eye on the venerable beings of the Human Realm. If the Sword Dao of the Human Realm dare to obstruct the path, the True Dragon Clan of the Vast Realm will block their way for the Beast Realm.
As for the price, it was that after the E Gu was proven to be [Barbarian Bone], the cultivation method of the Six Paths Immortal Foundation was opened to the True Dragon Clan.
For the True Dragon Clan, this deal was a sure-fire way to make a profit.
In the Human Realm, atop that Ten Thousand Ren Sword Peak.
The white-haired old man remained seated cross-legged, having already drunk most of the wine in his hand.
He suddenly looked up, a cryptic smile appearing on his gaunt face.
"Even the Dragon Lord of the Vast Realm has joined the fray."
He muttered to himself and tossed the empty wine jug aside.
The broken sword stuck in the crevice of the rock trembled slightly.
The old man glanced down at it, then patted the sword as if to soothe a restless, ancient beast.
"Old friend, what's the rush?"
"The path that bear seeks to prove is none of my concern."
He slowly stood up, his emaciated figure swaying precariously in the wind.
"If that Sword Origin truly intends to ignite an inter-domain war, it might not necessarily be a bad thing for our Human Race."
"The Sword Dao should belong to the Human Race; Sword Origin, you should die."
The old man's gaze pierced through the towering cliffs, reaching towards the distant horizon; he preferred the complete inheritance of the Human Race's Sword Dao to so-called charitable trade.
Moreover, if Sword Origin dies, a position in the Sword Dao will become vacant.
At that time, he will be able to cultivate this path and thus attain another fruit position; with two fruit positions in his possession, and by learning the immortal Immortal Foundation of another Sword Dao fruit position, he can attempt to break through to the Dao Embryo!
Thus, one can wield half of the Great Dao of the Sword, and thus have the hope of achieving immortality.
Thirty years have passed in the blink of an eye.
In the Beast Realm realm, the Dao of the Physical Body grows stronger day by day.
During the years that the Ancestor Egu was in seclusion seeking proof, subtle yet profound changes were taking place throughout the entire Beast Realm; on the wasteland, ordinary beasts would occasionally die suddenly for no apparent reason, yet their bones remained as hard as iron after death.
In a vast lake, the fish mutated, their scales turning into bones, and the energy of the Dao of the Physical Body permeated every corner of the world.
Even more unusual, strange celestial phenomena have been frequently observed in various places.
On the vast plains, a thousand-foot-tall stone mountain turned completely white overnight; it became indestructible, and even an ordinary Nascent Soul could not shake it in the slightest with a single blow.
Deep within the swamp, ancient skeletons emerged from the mud, arranged in rows, emitting a faint white light that lingered for a long time.
Along the coast, sea creatures are stranded. After they die, their bodies do not decay, but instead become even more resilient, as if cast from pig iron, turning into piles of bones.
These unusual phenomena are all external manifestations of the E Gu impacting the [Barbarian Bone] fruition.
The six peaks of Divine Firmament Plain were also not at peace.
The thunderclouds over the three Leifeng peaks were several times thicker than they were thirty years ago, with purple-gold lightning arcs tumbling and leaping within the clouds, the booming sound never ceasing day or night.
The magma of the southern volcano became even more intense. The Fire Dao source suppressed by the Nine Flames Ridge-Suppressing Pagoda interacted with the restless energy between heaven and earth, and the entire mountain was covered with a dark red halo.
The Lightning Bear Line, numbering over ten thousand, has expanded by nearly thirty percent in the past thirty years; the number of Golden Core Demon General to over seventy, while the Nascent Soul Demon King remains at four.
The tribes flourished, especially the bears.
Whether it's a Nascent Soul or a Qi Condensation Bear Demon, all bears experience a gradual and subtle increase in their physical strength.
There have even been cases of bear demons undergoing mutations.
Their bones pierced through their skin and fur, growing wildly and transforming into bone-like armor; their physical bodies were even more formidable, with the entire race gradually strengthening!
