CHAPTER 423: CHAPTER 422: I’M JUST PASSING BY (HAPPY NATIONAL DAY)

"Roar!"

The Earth Tyrant Bear roared in shock, clearly sensing the terror of this crushing blow, resembling the awe-inspiring might of the heavens, unstoppable in its momentum.

Before this almighty strike, it suddenly felt its massive body to be incredibly insignificant. It wanted to escape, yet it seemed the very space was compressed and nearly solidified by this strike, requiring an effort far beyond any it had ever exerted just to move a step.

Moreover, it was too late!

It hurriedly activated its protective demon technique and fiercely launched its Lifebound Demon Treasure, hoping to block this terrifying blow.

Boom!

The void shattered, and the earth shook.

Its Lifebound Demon Treasure barely vibrated before being enveloped by the palm print and forcefully struck down.

The remaining strength of the palm print did not diminish and directly crashed onto the Earth Tyrant Bear, instantly shattering its protective demon technique before formally landing upon its body.

Splurt!

Its extremely hard demon body, which even the attacks of Peak of Enlightenment Realm Cultivators could hardly damage, instantly cracked and shattered into countless pieces of flesh.

Dead!

Bai Ziyue had crushed the Earth Tyrant Bear with a single strike!

All the Demon Beasts were stunned into silence, too frightened to make any sound.

The almighty power radiating from Bai Ziyue’s strike was so overwhelming that they all felt an intense reverence.

On the other side, all the cultivators within Kaiyuan City were also dumbstruck.

They had expected to witness a fierce battle, believing that it would at least take some time to end.

Yet the formidable Earth Tyrant Bear in their eyes turned out to be so helpless before Bai Ziyue? It was slain with just one strike?

"Could this truly be the might of the world’s greatest master?"

*Powerful, terrifying, unstoppable...*

They were amazed, admiring, revering... and even somewhat fanatical, all deeply yearning.

Bai Ziyue ignored the shock of countless cultivators in Kaiyuan City and slightly reached out his hand, causing the Demon Core of the Earth Tyrant Bear and its forged Lifebound Demon Treasure to fall into his hand.

Carefully examining them, a hint of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.

The Demon Core of the Divine Realm Level Great Demon contained an extremely terrifying amount of energy. If refined into a Spirit Pill, the minimum would be a Second-grade High-tier Spirit Pill, generally, it could become a Third-Grade Spiritual Pill, especially one that could enhance cultivation, making it very valuable.

As for that Golden Lump, it made his eyes light up further.

Ten-thousand-year fallen gold!

This was a Lifebound Demon Treasure entirely crafted from ten-thousand-year fallen gold.

Its irregular shape, resembling an iron lump, was truly because the ten-thousand-year fallen gold was too hard, making it difficult for the Earth Tyrant Bear’s strength and methods to fully exploit the benefits of this Top-grade Spirit Treasure.

Plus, the artifact refining techniques of Demon Beasts... it made him unable to bear looking, wasteful, squandering treasures... Inadvertently, it also weakened the power of this treasure by several degrees.

But even so, the power of this Golden Lump was actually not weak.

If a relatively advanced artifact refining technique were used to fully refine it and completely unleash the advantages of this ten-thousand-year fallen gold, it would undoubtedly increase the power of the treasure by a considerable margin.

"Good stuff, truly good stuff.

This Golden Lump, if used as a Dharma Treasure, might not be quite suitable, but if remelted as material, it could certainly enhance the power of the newly crafted treasure by several degrees.

It’s perfect timing as I am not far from the Divine Realm Level, needing to prepare for the crafting of my Lifebound Dharma Treasure to enhance combat power..."

Bai Ziyue thought to himself, carefully storing away the Divine Realm Level Demon Core and ten-thousand-year fallen gold.

...

"Roar..."

Just then, Huu Dali, perhaps fearing that Bai Ziyue would underestimate him, quickly let out a loud roar and transformed into a stream of white light, directly charging into the Demon Beast horde, first time swinging its claws to smash the head of a Mid-Stage Spirit Communication Realm giant python into pulp.

Then its body twisted again, rushing toward another Spirit Communication Realm Great Demon.

Among Demon Beasts, the fighting is often more brutal.

Huu Dali showed no awareness of comradeship among Demon Beasts, no empathy at the fall of others, fighting relentlessly, leaving five or six Spirit Communication Realm Great Demons dead in the blink of an eye.

Many Little Demons were killed by combat aftershocks alone.

"Kill!"

Master Zuo Tong had realized the situation by this time and quickly shouted, releasing a flying sword to slash a horned wild ox.

Numerous cultivators enthusiastically followed suit, launching their attacks at one Demon Beast after another.

Without the Divine Realm Level Great Demon, the threat of these Demon Beasts was minimized, and soon countless Demon Beasts were slain. However, more Demon Beasts reacted at this moment and quickly scattered, fleeing toward the direction of the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

The many cultivators of Kaiyuan City were certainly unwilling to allow this to happen.

Demon Beasts were practically treasures from head to toe, and normally, venturing deep into the Hundred Thousand Mountains to hunt them was extremely dangerous.

Now, with their numbers and the presence of Divine Realm Powerhouses, along with the world’s greatest master guarding, they immediately let loose, all rushing from within the array and launching fierce attacks against Demon Beasts.

"Thank you, Kunlun Daoist, for your assistance, or else our entire Kaiyuan City might have been destroyed."

Soon, Master Zuo Tong approached and spoke with a slightly respectful tone.

"I was only passing by."

Bai Ziyue glanced at Master Zuo Tong lightly and gestured slightly.

Huu Dali immediately perked up and hurriedly withdrew from the battlefield, rushing to Bai Ziyue’s side, bowing respectfully.

Master Zuo Tong’s face instantly showed envy.

A Divine Realm Level Beast Pet is more precious than many Dharma Treasures, and in critical moments, it is a huge asset.

Moreover, Bai Ziyue’s Beast Pet is a tiger-type Great Demon, inherently much stronger than ordinary Demon Beasts, its strength surpassing even that Earth Tyrant Bear.

Bai Ziyue leaped lightly onto Huu Dali’s broad back, calling out softly, "Go!"

In an instant, Huu Dali let out a low growl, transforming into a blur of white light and charging away into the distance.

"Leaving already?"

Master Zuo Tong was stunned, yet did not dare to stop him, only watching helplessly as he rode off on the White Tiger Great Demon.

"Wait, is the direction Kunlun Daoist is heading towards the Hundred Thousand Mountains? Is he about to depart from here, leave the Desolate Ancient Realm, and head to the Outer Realm?"

Suddenly, Master Zuo Tong trembled, unable to suppress a suspicion arising in his heart.

"It should be so, given the talents and strength of Kunlun Daoist, the Desolate Ancient Realm indeed cannot hold him.

Leaving is, in fact, quite normal, as continuing to stay limits his power and growth significantly.

After all, his age... is reportedly not much."

But unexpectedly, Kunlun Daoist chose to depart today and incidentally resolved a major crisis for our Kaiyuan City."

Master Zuo Tong thought to himself but did not disclose his speculation.

It was only until a long time later when he never heard any more news about Kunlun Daoist that he confirmed it.
