Expansion and the Western Campaign!

Several months have passed since the E Gu attained enlightenment.

The Divine Firmament Plain have changed; or rather, the entire Giant Bear Clan has changed, with the power of the Barbarian Bone Dao Fruit continuously spreading throughout the world.

Not only did it improve the bloodline limits of the Giant Bear Clan, but it also changed the entire territory of the Giant Bear Clan...

The Daoist essence of fruition, dissipating between heaven and earth, reshaped the world.

For example, the six main peaks of Divine Firmament Plain are now shrouded in a faint, bone-white halo; even the Spiritual Qi surging from the underground Spirit Vein is several times more concentrated than it was three years ago.

The purple-gold thunderclouds above the three Leifeng peaks were so thick they were almost tangible; amidst the rolling arcs of lightning, faint bone-white patterns could be seen weaving through them.

That was the product of the fusion of the Daoist essence of Barbarian Bone Dao and the energy of Dao of Lightning, and the Principle of heaven and earth of the entire Divine Firmament Plain were quietly changing.

The biggest changes were seen in the bear demons.

Those bear demons who were unable to advance due to their bloodline were constantly breaking free from their shackles; many bear demons who were originally Foundation Establishment Perfection were breaking through one after another under the stimulation of bloodline feedback.

Even more eye-catching were the Bone-Armored Giant Bear.

These giant bears, constantly evolving, gradually formed a new race; they possessed extremely strong combat power and higher bloodline limits.

Such bloodline makes one a natural candidate for cultivating the path of the Barbarian Bone technique.

Shi Jian stood atop Divine Firmament Peak, overlooking the six peaks.

He had just finished his arduous cultivation, and twelve of the thirty-six strands of vital energy within his body had condensed; his cultivation at the Nascent Soul Late Stage was becoming increasingly stable.

Although it is still far from perfection, its foundation is far more solid than others of the same level.

Outside the cave abode, Shi Xiao had grown into the size of a Xiaoshan; his body was surrounded by lightning, and bone structures had grown from his joints.

As if sensing Shi Xiao Shi Jian's gaze, Shi Xiao lazily turned over, his purple-gold beast eyes half-open and half-closed, his tail flicked twice, and then he buried his head and fell asleep again.

Clearly, he didn't really want to talk to Shi Jian.

From birth, Shi Xiao had always been lazy; he harbored a strong desire for his father to succeed, as his father was the head of a small local clan.

His mother was from the Mountain Bear Lineage, and his ancestors had Spirit Transformation ancestor who took care of them.

Not long ago, the strongest member of the race, the Ancestor Egu, attained the Barbarian Bone Dao Fruit; the race was promoted to one of the six royal families of the Beast Realm in one fell swoop, which can be said to be a silver spoon in their mouth, and their future Dao Path is bright.

Shi Jian shook his head and ignored him.

At this moment, Shan Li landed on the summit, bringing back a Jade Slip that was entirely white with bone-like texture from the tribe; Shi Jian had never seen the material of that Jade Slip before.

The surface is engraved with the clan inscription of the Giant Bear Imperial Clan, and it exudes an extremely faint wisp of Barbarian Bone Dao charm, clearly indicating that it is no ordinary creature.

"The decree of the Ancestor Egu is to begin the purge."

Shan Li tossed the Jade Slip slip to Shi Jian, his face beaming with excitement; now that he was a member of the royal family, it was only natural that he should further expand and strengthen his clan!

Shi Jian took it and probed it with his Divine Sense; after a moment, he slowly raised his head.

"Liquidation?"

"Naturally, after the Ancestor Egu attained enlightenment, the Giant Bear Clan was elevated to a royal family, but they haven't forgotten a single one of those past grievances."

"The Frenzied Lion Clan has repeatedly invaded the borders of the Giant Bear Clan for thousands of years; they should have been exterminated long ago to vent our anger."

"The Heavenly Serpent Race is even worse, secretly ambushing and killing many of our people; now that the Ancestor Egu has attained enlightenment, the time for reckoning has come."

Shi Jian put the Jade Slip slip down, which was not unexpected.

A person's cultivation level determines their social status; now that the Giant Bear Clan is rising in power, all the surrounding clans, large and small, should be killed or exterminated to strengthen their own clans.

The decree itself is simple and clear.

The seven main branches of the Giant Bear Imperial Clan each dispatched their elite forces to attack various tribes on the borders; meanwhile, the Mountain Bear Main Lineage pressed westward into the borders.

First, they took the borders of the Frenzied Lion Clan, including three frontier territories, and then swept away the southern strongholds of the Heavenly Serpent Race; the Lightning Bear Line was incorporated into the Mountain Bear Army and went on the expedition.

"How many troops does the Mountain Bear Lineage plan to send this time?"

"Two Nascent Spirit Transformation, thirty Nascent Soul, over a thousand Golden Core Demon General, and two hundred thousand Foundation Establishment Demon Beast; the goal is to annihilate five Spirit Transformation clans, including the Frenzied Lion, Heavenly Snake, and Mysterious Horse, and over thirty smaller Nascent Soul One clans in our western border region."

"The goal is to expand the entire western region by a million miles."

The Giant Bear Clan is now full of confidence; with the E Gu Dao Venerable in charge, plus the original thirteen Nascent Spirit Transformation, their foundation is quite impressive.

Although the Frenzied Lion Clan has five Nascent Spirit Transformation, it has no Dao Venerable.

Previously, they could unite with surrounding forces and rely on their number of Spirit Transformation to contend with the Giant Bear Clan, but now E Gu has attained enlightenment.

The Dao Venerable crushed the transformed Spirit Transformation as easily as squeezing ants; the outcome of the battle was already predetermined before it even began.

The Southern Territory of the Frenzied Lion Clan, in the Red Rock Mountain Range.

This is a major town at the southernmost tip of the Frenzied Lion Clan, with three Red Rock mines stretching for tens of thousands of miles; the mountains contain a large amount of fire-attribute spirit gold ore veins, which are one of the lifelines of the Frenzied Lion Clan.

Guarding this place is an Early Spirit Transformation ancestor of the Frenzied Lion Clan, with ten Nascent Soul and over three hundred Golden Core cultivators under his command.

In the past, such a military force would have been enough to intimidate the surrounding areas.

But things are different today.

Dark clouds rolled across the horizon south of the Red Rock Mountain Range.

That wasn't thunderclouds, but rather a sky-covering curtain formed by the combined Yao Qi of hundreds of thousands of Demon Beast during the march of the Mountain Bear Lineage's army.

The two Nascent Spirit Transformation led the way, like two moving Shan Yue, crushing the surrounding energy into nothingness.

Shi Jian led the Lightning Bear Line and accompanied the Shan Xiong army on the right flank.

He concealed his aura, spread his Divine Sense, and took in the entire area spanning tens of thousands of miles; the defenses in the Red Rock Mountain Range were laid out before him.

"Of the ten Nascent Soul, five are at the eastern entrance, and five are deep within the western mine." Shi Jian transmitted his voice to Shan Li: "I haven't sensed any Spirit Transformation; they're most likely not here, having retreated back to the Frenzied Lion Clan."

Shan Li said dismissively, "There's no use in retreating. The adults will handle the main branch; we just need to focus on eating the piece of meat in front of us."

"The Frenzied Lion Clan should also disappear into the annals of history."

Shi Jian said no more, and the light beneath his feet suddenly rose higher.

"My lord, Lightning Bear's unit is willing to serve as the vanguard."

Above the sky, two illusory figures were naturally happy to see Shi Jian volunteer; it would also be a good opportunity to see what kind of person Shi Jian was.

Their Mountain Bear Lineage was determined to cultivate Shi Jian, and this was certainly not for nothing.

It's his turn to repay the favor.

"Go ahead, there's no need to worry about anything."

Above the heavens, Daoist chants echoed; Shi Jian then summoned his Thunder Spear, pointing it towards the distant heavens and earth, and flew away into the distance.

"Shi Jian of the Lightning Bear Line is here. Do you dare to fight me?"

Faced with the overwhelming army of the Giant Bear Clan, the five Nascent Soul Frenzied Lion the eastern mine entrance looked at each other in bewilderment.

They desperately wanted to escape, but they were ordered by their tribe to defend the mine entrance and not to retreat without permission; faced with Lightning Bear's challenge, they were utterly helpless.

Hold out to the death?

What can we use to defend it!

On the opposite side, there were two Nascent Spirit Transformation leading the way, no fewer than ten Core Nascent Soul, and over a thousand Golden Core Demon General, followed by a massive horde of hundreds of thousands of demon soldiers.

"Gentlemen, things have come to this point, and the fate of our tribe hangs in the balance. I will go to confront this wicked bear, and I ask that you all cover my retreat."

Having said that, a Chihuo Frenzied Lion at the Nascent Soul Late Stage soared into the sky!

"Stupid bear, stop your arrogance here!"
