Heaven and Earth Variant Species! Lightning Bear!
The colossal eye, composed entirely of lightning, opened from the heavens above, indifferently gazing down upon the earth with unparalleled majesty!
All sounds in the world seemed to be drawn away at this moment.
Both the black-robed cultivator's sinister grin and the guardian Demon Beast's mournful cry were suppressed by this majesty that transcended the comprehension of life.
Time seemed to stand still.
"Gulp."
A black-robed cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage swallowed hard, his legs trembling violently, almost falling from mid-air.
This is the Core Formation, the might of Heaven!
It's like the trembling that mortal beings feel when facing a deity, a tremor that originates from the deepest part of their soul!
"What's there to be afraid of!"
Just as everyone was losing their composure, the Foundation Establishment Late Stage leader roared loudly, his voice booming like a bell, forcefully jolting everyone back to reality.
He stared intently at the giant, thunderous eye, his eyes showing no fear, but rather an unprecedented greed and fanaticism.
"The more terrifying the celestial phenomena, the more profound the beast's foundation. Once it succeeds, the value of its Demon Core will be immeasurable!"
"He is currently drawing upon the Heaven and Earth Qi Dynamic into his body, which shows that this demon possesses the Heaven and Earth Qi Dynamic. If we can kill him, we can not only obtain his Demon Core, but also escape his Heaven and Earth Qi!"
"This is a golden opportunity!"
"Break through the formation!"
At the leader's command, the ancient bronze bell in his hand shone brightly and was the first to crash into the Lightning-Attracting Grand Formation on the main peak!
The other black-robed cultivators seemed to awaken from a dream, their fear quickly replaced by greed.
That's right, fortune favors the bold!
They haven't reached the Golden Core stage; they're still just at the Foundation Establishment stage. Killing them means they're theirs!
"Kill!"
More than a dozen Law Technique and Law Artifact converged into a destructive torrent, following closely behind the bronze bell, and once again slammed into the already crumbling purple lightning curtain!
"Stop them!"
The Lord Rat screeched and hid behind the great formation, manipulating its blood-red dagger to transform into a streak of light, fearlessly charging towards the bronze bell.
Shi Mo, Shi Pan, Shi Yin, and Lei Huan, the four great demons, dragging their battered bodies, once again unleashed their full Demon Power to build a second line of defense.
Sun Yao's face turned deathly pale. She took out a bright green pill from her Storage Bag, and without even looking at it, stuffed it directly into the mouth of the unconscious Sun Mao, keeping him clinging to his last shred of life.
"Condensed Dew Pill..."
This was the pill she had prepared to use to break through to the Foundation Establishment Late Stage, and she used it just like that.
But she couldn't care less.
Sun Yao made a hand Hand Seals and poured her last bit of spiritual power into the array plate. The purple Lightning-Attracting Grand Formation surged and collided violently with the destructive torrent!
Boom--!
The earth shook and mountains trembled, and a dazzling light filled the sky!
An underground cave abode.
Shi Jian's consciousness is undergoing an unprecedented test.
He "saw" that eye.
The moment that giant thunderous eye opened, a vast, domineering, and destructive thunderous aura locked onto him.
"I have already activated the Violet Firmament Golden Lightning Qi!"
"Quickly absorb it and merge it with your own essence!"
Purple Firmament's voice rang in Shi Jian's soul, his words filled with urgency. He couldn't wait to see Shi Jian wreak havoc on all sides!
Slaughter all these inferior Human Race!
With the blood of the enemy, let us offer sacrifice to his Purple Firmament Lightning!
"Hey bear, be careful. This thing isn't something you can just take casually. It's the Heaven and Earth Qi, the primordial Qi of Heaven and Earth."
"If you can't hold on, your soul will be crushed on the spot, leaving not even a trace!"
"To absorb the Heaven and Earth Qi is the beginning of the Great Dao!"
Shi Jian did not respond.
His massive bear body rose up, broke through the cave abode, and headed straight for the sky to face the Purple Firmament Golden Lightning that seemed to be the might of heaven!
The Demon Core within its body trembled at a frenzied frequency.
He could feel the scrutiny of that will.
That wasn't a test, but a selection process.
It was a judgment from the Great Dao, as if saying: You, this black bear with mixed blood, what right do you have to bear my power?
"On what grounds?"
A silent roar erupted from Shi Jian's mind.
"Just because I want it!"
Demons disrespect gods and Buddhas, and do not worship ghosts and spirits!
The way of the demon lies in devouring and plundering heaven and earth, turning everything into its own, thereby breaking the shackles between heaven and earth, and step by step reaching the top!
Shi Jian roared to the sky, his fat body resembling a Shan Yue.
A colossal phantom slowly coalesced between heaven and earth, while a Lightning Bear roared and howled, unleashing its fury upon the world!
"I awaken with a roar, I summon with thunder."
"Every step I take is like a gathering of storms, Lei Bao brewing across the sky!"
"Tremble before my roar, and let the world know that a storm is coming!"
"I am the thunder!"
"I am the storm!"
"I am Malhar, the Thunder Walker!"
"Descend into the world at this moment!"
Shi Jian roared between heaven and earth, chanting an ancient eulogy, and the terrifying phantom of a giant bear seemed to bring down thunder from the sky.
A demonic wind swept through, and all things submitted.
The colossal eye of thunder in the sky seemed to be moved!
A condensed, purple-gold lightning bolt, as thick as Shan Yue, tore through the void and crashed down directly onto Shi Jian's head!
The second stage: The Heaven and Earth Qi Dynamic enters the body!
"They're here!" Purple Firmament exclaimed.
Boom!
The purple-gold lightning, without any frills, poured directly into Shi Jian's Baihui acupoint.
In that instant, Shi Jian felt his soul, body, and every wisp of Demon Power being decomposed and reassembled from the most fundamental level by an irresistible force!
Pain!
That was extreme pain!
It's ten thousand times more painful than Heavenly Lightning Body Refinement!
It's a million times more painful than having your bones and marrow pulled out!
The black bear bloodline within him was evaporated and purified in the face of this domineering and unparalleled Purple Firmament Divine Lightning, just like ice and snow meeting the Lieyang!
The original dark gray fur fell away inch by inch, revealing the new, shimmering, metallic-white fur underneath...
The bones were breaking inch by inch, then rapidly reshaping themselves in the lightning, becoming even more resilient, and even taking on a purplish-gold luster.
The meridians were forcibly widened and torn apart, then filled and tempered by violent lightning!
The light blue mane around its neck grew even thicker and thicker at this moment, spreading wildly upwards to cover its entire shoulders and back!
His body was expanding at a speed visible to the naked eye.
From its original size of over three zhang, it continued to grow larger until it transformed into a giant white bear that was five zhang in size!
The giant bear stood between heaven and earth, letting out a battle roar that shook the very soul, followed by countless bolts of lightning that swept across the hundred-mile-long sky.
But the inner power was more than ten times stronger than before!
This is not a simple enhancement; it is a leap in the level of life!
It's a complete and utter transformation!
"Roar!"
Shi Jian let out a roar that was suppressed to the extreme. He suddenly stood up and slammed his bear paws hard on his chest!
With this shot...
All the remaining mixed bloodline belonging to the black bear in his body was forcibly expelled, turning into a cloud of pitch-black blood mist, which was then completely purified by the Purple Firmament Divine Lightning!
From that moment on, he was no longer a black bear.
Instead... Lightning Bear!
One of them, carrying the original will of the Purple Firmament Divine Lightning...
Heaven and Earth Variant Species!
