A Dying Counterattack!
The abyss trembled, and all laws collapsed.
The Night Beast Emperor's thousand-foot-tall body was covered with crisscrossing lightning cracks, and the layer of black crystal armor was formed by five Dao of Darkness Immortal Foundation.
Under the relentless and relentless bombardment of the seven Nascent Spirit Transformation, it finally collapsed completely.
The purple-gold righteous thunder and the Profound Lightning intertwined to form a thunderous net covering millions of miles, suppressing it firmly on the bone mountain.
Black blood poured down like a torrential rain, corroding the abyss's stone walls and leaving them riddled with holes.
"Roar--!"
The Night Beast Emperor raised its broken head, four of its six bone wings were broken, and its mournful roar revealed the despair of being at the end of its rope.
Oh, heavens, how cruel are you to the Night Beast race?
Countless years ago, when the Lightless Dao Venerable was still alive, his Night Beast clan once flourished and dominated the region.
But now, their descendants are destined for such a fate.
That's truly unfair!
The Beast Emperor's unfathomable black pupils, passing over Lei Jin and the others who were wandering around the perimeter, finally locked onto the Divine Firmament Lightning Bear standing directly in front of him.
He knew perfectly well that he was doomed.
His chest was pierced by the Dao Venerable's True Intention, which injured his physical body, forcibly extracted his fruition-level entity, and depleted his source.
Even the weakest Spirit Transformation Extreme Stage is still Extreme Realm existence, with one foot already on the threshold of enlightenment; he has his own pride and a reputation that has lasted for millennia.
He absolutely refused to allow himself to die a pathetic death amidst the hunt of a group of outsiders.
If I'm going to die, I'll take the strongest one down with me!
And this arrogant Lightning Bear suited him best.
Boom!
The previously dim and Lightless Dao Fruit between the Night Beast Emperor's brows suddenly burst forth with an unprecedentedly dazzling black light.
It completely abandoned its defenses, igniting all the remaining five immortal Immortal Foundation, vast Qi and Blood, and even the origin of its divine soul in that instant!
Space collapsed, and all things cried out in sorrow.
"Oh no! It's going to take us all down with it!"
Lei Jin's expression changed drastically. He immediately disregarded the backlash from the formation and transformed into a streak of blue-purple lightning, retreating frantically.
The remaining Profound Lightning Spirit Transformation were also terrified and desperately fled backwards.
A desperate strike from the pinnacle of the Spirit Transformation Extreme Stage is enough to obliterate all living beings within a radius of hundreds of thousands of miles, and enough to evoke a degree of the might of Dao Venerable.
However, the Night Beast Emperor completely ignored the scattered and fleeing Profound Lightning Spirit Transformation.
It burned everything away, compressing all the Dao of Darkness passage's essence to its extreme, transforming it into Polar Night Death Light capable of devouring all things.
The death ray ignored the barriers of space, transcended spatial scales, and headed straight for Shi Jian Jianfaxiang's chest, intending to kill him in one blow!
Quick!
It's so fast that even our thoughts can't keep up.
Shi Jian's pupils contracted, and the three Dao Platforms within his body— Purple Pivot, Purple Firmament, and True Yang— operated wildly. His enormous Lightning Bear Dharma Form crossed its arms, and countless thunderbolts gathered in front of its chest, condensing into a purple-gold thunder shield a thousand feet thick.
Laugh--!
The Polar Night Death Light touched the purple-gold lightning shield the instant it struck.
The supremely powerful and yang Divine Firmament Righteous Lightning, like the remnants of snow under the blazing sun, vanished instantly; the deathly light rushed straight in and slammed fiercely into Shi Jian's Dharma image.
"Boom!"
The massive Lightning Bear Technique trembled violently, a huge hole piercing through its chest.
The violent, deathly dark energy spread wildly along the wound, peeling away and obliterating flesh, bones, and lightning patterns along its path.
Shi Jian groaned and spat out a mouthful of Essence Blood mixed with purple-gold lightning.
The Dharma image could no longer be maintained and collapsed with a crash.
His body flew backward tens of thousands of feet, crashing heavily into the depths of the abyss, creating a terrifying cave thousands of feet deep.
It even smashed through dozens of mountains, reaching deep underground.
The sound of bones breaking exploded, and it felt as if thousands of steel knives were simultaneously cutting through the limbs and bones.
If he hadn't cultivated the Divine Firmament Thunder Method to temper his physique and received the blessing of the Barbarian Bone Dao Venerable to strengthen his physical foundation, this single strike would have resulted in the complete annihilation of an ordinary Late Spirit Transformation.
Its Extreme Realm power and ferocity are unparalleled.
"Still alive?!"
The Night Beast Emperor, transformed into a black tide of afterimages, let out an unbelievable, soul-piercing roar.
Its all-consuming, deadly strike failed to completely crush this giant bear, Late Spirit Transformation. Heaven is truly unfair.
Madness, insanity.
The Night Beast Emperor completely abandoned its last shred of life, and its thousand-foot-tall body disintegrated with a crash; the remaining flesh and soul intertwined, transforming into a Dao of Darkness vortex that covered tens of thousands of miles in the void.
At the center of the vortex, five broken immortal Immortal Foundation halos spun rapidly, carrying a devastating tearing force as they crashed down towards the cave where Shi Jian was.
It intends to completely devour and assimilate Shi Jian, along with the entire land.
Such overwhelming force clearly indicated a certain death.
Lei Jin and the others, tens of thousands of miles away from the battlefield, watched that scene with lingering fear, none of them daring to step forward to provide assistance.
Deep in the earth.
Shi Jian was covered in blood, his white robe was torn, and half of his body was charred and carbonized, revealing bones that faintly gleamed with gold.
He looked up at the Dao of Darkness vortex of the tunnel that was about to collapse, but there was no panic in his eyes, clearly indicating that he was far from being at his wit's end.
"A counterattack from the Extreme Realm, that's really impressive."
"But you're not worthy to drag me down with you!"
The lightning pattern between Shi Jian's eyebrows flashed wildly, and a bone bead, entirely gray-white and carved with thousands of Savage Wilderness beast totems, emerged from between his eyebrows.
Top-grade defensive Dao Artifact – [Wanxiang Barbarian Bone Pearl]!
This was a life-saving trump card personally bestowed upon him by the Ancestor Egu. It was a top-tier defensive Dao Artifact, difficult even for someone at the Spirit Transformation Extreme Stage to break through.
"Open!"
Shi Jian spat a mouthful of Essence Blood onto the bone bead, and poured the remaining lightning essence in his body into it without reservation.
Buzz--!
The world was quiet.
The Wanxiang Barbarian Bone Pearl suddenly shone brightly, its grayish-white light instantly piercing through the oppressive darkness of the polar night.
A Savage Wilderness bear phantom, tens of thousands of feet tall, with its head reaching the heavens and its feet treading the netherworld, stepped out from the bone bead.
The giant bear phantom, its entire body formed from pale white bones, exuded an ancient aura that suppressed the primordial chaos for countless ages.
The Daoist intent of [Barbarian Bone] is unparalleled under heaven!
The crushing vortex of the Dao of Darkness passage crashed into the bone domain stretched out by the giant bear phantom, producing a series of ear-piercing roars.
The violent devouring power was firmly blocked a thousand feet away.
No matter how much the Night Beast Emperor activated its Immortal Foundation or how frantically it acted, it could not shake this top-grade defensive Dao Artifact in the slightest.
Shi Jian stood firmly, protected by the White Bone Dao Domain, his posture as straight as a pine tree.
He took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing his churning injuries, and gripped the [Immortal-Slaying Spear] tightly with both hands once more before launching himself into action.
"Go to hell!"
