Reviving [Radiant Yang Lightning], the Clan's Attention!

The Abyss of Black Water icy cold.

Amidst the desolate mud and sand, the enormous bear's body, charred black as charcoal, lay silently.

The meridians within his body had shrunk and dried up, like cracked, parched land. The condensation of the Purple Pivot Lightning, the sharpness of the Purple Firmament Lightning, and the fierceness of the Righteous Yang Lightning were all as weak as flickering candlelight.

That Immortal Slayer immortals still lingers between the broken bones, constantly eroding the life force of flesh and blood.

Shi Jian's Divine Sense fully awakened from the chaos.

"The Five-Foundation Extreme Realm... Hidden Sword Dao Palace"

At this moment, there was no trace of relief at surviving a disaster in his eyes; his heart was filled only with an extreme and pure overwhelming killing intent.

If you lack strength, you'll have to stand up straight when you're beaten; but as long as you have a breath left, you'll get your revenge sooner or later, with interest.

One day, he vowed to destroy the Human Race and annihilate the Hidden Sword Dao Palace!

The murderous intent faded, and peace returned to his heart.

Stopping thinking about the Heavenly Wind outside, Shi Jian calmed his mind.

Above the Dantian, the charred, lightning-struck wood, gleaming with ancient lightning patterns, slowly floated to the surface; the residual medicinal power of the previously ingested Tribulation-Transcending Life Pill dissolved in the meridians, and countless powerful energies seeped into the body like spring rain.

The light of the Righteous Yang Lightning flickered, and the intense, pure Yang energy coiled around the lightning-struck wood.

Buzz--!!

A soft sound, like the cry of a newborn baby, burst forth from the depths of the withered wood.

Immediately afterwards, a blazing, dazzling golden-white light shot out from the wood core, instantly illuminating the pitch-black internal organs.

The fourth foundation of Divine Firmament – [Radiant Yang Lightning].

Unlike the suppressive power of the Purple Pivot Lightning, the domineering nature of the Purple Firmament Lightning, and the exorcising power of the Righteous Yang Lightning, this Fang Yi, as soon as it manifested, exuded a vast and boundless light and the meaning of yang life, like the sun breaking through the darkness at dawn.

Under the relentless onslaught of this thunderous intent, a force that embodies both life and destruction, the Immortal-Slaying Sword Qi that had seeped into his very bones was finally forced out of his body, transforming into wisps of dark red and green smoke that dissipated into the black water.

Click, click.

The broken bones returned to their original positions, the charred dead skin peeled off inch by inch, and fine, white down emerged from the body.

At the severed right arm, the meridians intertwined like dragons and snakes, and the bones were reshaped amidst golden and white lightning. Moreover, in the very center of Shi Jian's Dantian, besides three majestic thunder platforms, a halo resembling the rising Lieyang quietly floated.

The fourth Immortal Foundation is gradually taking shape.

Although the four fundamental principles are not yet fully perfected, this seed of thunder has already taken root.

A surging source of energy roared through every meridian, and compared to its peak, the physical body gained a more resilient resilience, as if reborn from the light.

Shi Jian slowly opened his eyes, his eyes gleaming with lightning, like the sun in broad daylight.

My Daoist mind is clear and empty like never before.

At that very moment, a thought suddenly struck him.

Deep within his bloodline, an extremely heavy and urgent call was resonating faintly within his soul, traversing billions of miles of void.

It was a call from the vast wilderness, Savage Wilderness and profound, bearing the unique bloodline imprint of the Giant Bear Clan.

Clearly, the Barbarian Bone Pass were thrown into complete disarray upon discovering that Shi Jian had been missing for a long time; a demon Three-Foundation Perfection at the age of a little over a thousand years old would be a seed for future contenders for the position of Dao Venerable in any royal family.

The clan's higher-ups were understandably alarmed by the sudden and inexplicable loss.

Shi Jian grinned, gently pressing his bear paw against his chest, drawing out the Essence Blood within his body.

Buzz.

A faint, extremely subtle ripple of bloodline energy, following the river of blood and aided by the Path of Barbarian Bone, quietly sent out a weak signal.

After responding, Shi Jian did not immediately break out of the water. Instead, he closed his eyes again and, with the cover of the Black Water Pool's chill, quietly circulated his energy to stabilize his newly formed fourth Immortal Foundation.

Several months have passed in the blink of an eye.

In the eastern part of the Dao Realm, above this desolate and dilapidated ancient ruin, the vast void suddenly froze, as if everything had been frozen in time.

Boom!

The void was torn apart by immense force like a curtain, and ten enormous, majestic, and ferocious figures broke through the boundary barrier and descended fiercely!

Ten colossal bear Spirit Transformation descended upon this place together.

They were all members of the Giant Bear Clan, powerful demon immortals from their own tribe. The leader, the Ancestor Shanyue, was clad in Thick Earth armor, exuding Sha Qi. His eyes, like two raging flames, vigilantly scanned the surrounding wilderness.

Beside him, Cang Wuji wielded Bone-Splitting Axe, his bone-white Daoist aura raging wildly, crushing all the rocks and ruins along the way into dust.

Deep within the rift in the higher-dimensional sky, an ancient Daoist aura, its entire body resembling pale white jade bones, faintly appeared.

It was none other than the Ancestor Egu!

One of the emanations of the Barbarian Bone Dao Venerable personally pressed down on the sky, its chilling Daoist might enveloping all directions like the collapse of the heavens, isolating all external divine thoughts from prying into it.

Any force that secretly covets this power and dares to make even the slightest move at this moment will surely face the thunderous wrath of a supreme Dao Venerable!

"Found it! At the bottom of that Black Water Abyss!"

A giant bear elder, its entire body covered in black thorns, let out a low, hoarse roar.

The Black Water exploded, creating a raging curtain of water that filled the sky.

A white-robed figure, about ten feet tall, stepped out of the abyss. His body was crackling with purple-gold lightning, and his Qi and Blood not only did not decline, but became even more concentrated.

It even faintly exuded a scorching, bright lightning aura that made several Nascent Spirit Transformation present tremble with fear.

"Shi Jian?!"

The Shan Yue traversed thousands of miles in a single step, its massive paw gripping Shi Jian's shoulder, its divine sense sweeping over him repeatedly like a tidal wave.

His previously taut face finally relaxed, and he burst into wild, joyful laughter.

"Good lad! I knew you wouldn't die! Those scum of the Spirit Race have been chewed to pieces, but they couldn't find you anywhere. The clan even thought you'd been ambushed by spies from the Spirit Realm!"

Cang Wuji circled Shi Jian twice, clicking his tongue in amazement. "Hiss... Not only are you not dead, but what's with this lightning on your body?"

"Why does the Dao energy emanating from your body seem even more terrifying than when we were fighting on the front lines?!"

Shi Jian cupped his hands in greeting, his expression calm. "In the previous battle, I unfortunately encountered a Spirit Transformation Extreme Stage expert from the Hidden Sword Dao Palace in the Human Realm who was pursuing me. I barely escaped with my life on the line and am currently recuperating here."

"Huh?! A swordsman at the Extreme Realm of the Hidden Sword Dao Palace?!"

Shan Yue's expression changed drastically, and the other nine Nascent Spirit Transformation also gasped in shock.

To escape from the clutches of the Extreme Realm swordsman, and not only not be crippled, but have one's Dao body reshaped? What kind of skill is that!

Deep within the void, the immense will belonging to the Bear Emperor E Gu rippled slightly, and then a deep, resonant Daoist voice boomed in everyone's hearts:

"It's good that you're alright. You should all return to your clan immediately."

Without further ado, the Dao Venerable's will unleashed a pale, bone-like light, engulfing eleven people, instantly tearing through the void, erasing all traces, and heading straight for the Northern Barbarian Bone Pass.
