Imperial Cultivation

Chapter 1119: Chapter 1115: Slaying the Bear

Chu Zhiyuan was airborne, feeling as if his internal organs had been shaken out of place.

The Treasure Clothes protected him, yet even so, without them, he would likely be gravely injured.

Under Super Sensing Illumination, the women spat blood, with few exceptions.

Among those exceptions were Qi Qingmei and Lu Xiaolu.

The Bright Moon Divine Sword in Qi Qingmei’s hand had already been drawn, a bright moon carrying her in the air.

Lu Xiaolu appeared ethereal, her White Silk fluttering like a celestial being.

The other women appeared a bit disheveled, spitting blood as they drew their swords and glanced around in the sky.

Chu Zhiyuan surveyed them while also focusing on the enormous beast that stood before him, bursting through the mountain and obscuring the sky.

It was a giant bear.

Standing at a hundred meters tall, it towered over thirty-story buildings, even taller than the previous mountain peak.

Its fur was glossy, soft, and silver-bright, as if the peak were draped in silver satin, glistening brightly.

Awakening from hibernation, it shook itself twice, spreading the mountain and sending the women flying.

Under Super Sensing Illumination, this giant bear was enveloped in a glow, with a pulsating seven-colored light resembling a Demon Core.

A Great Demon!

Undoubtedly a Great Demon.

No one ever expected such a colossal Great Demon in Biyuan Heaven.

The Jade Heaven Sword was drawn, activated with all its strength, draining his mind of spiritual power, causing his vision to blur.

The Jade Heaven Sword, when activated, absorbed the boundless power of the Void, requiring enormous spiritual power to blend in.

Chu Liezhao and Leng Tieya continuously supplied spiritual power.

The Jade Heaven Sword gracefully pierced towards the bear’s gall.

A tiny dark spot within the seven-colored glow, the only shadow.

Qi Qingmei, lifted by the bright moon, reached the mid-air.

The bright moon descended towards the bear’s head.

The Jade Heaven Sword approached the bear’s body silently, as if wrapped in invisible force, not releasing a trace of aura.

The Jade Heaven Sword had been refined; its aura’s concealment or release was at his whim.

Contraction was tougher than expansion, requiring even more spiritual power.

With the aid of two clones, he recklessly wielded and manipulated spiritual power.

Approaching silently.

”Roar——!”

A roar, the bear’s paw like a panel slammed into the bright moon.

”Bang!”

A muffled sound like thunder shook the surroundings again.

Howling winds sent the women flying away once more.

They flew horizontally in the air again.

Only Chu Zhiyuan moved against the wind, still approaching silently.

The Jade Heaven Sword lightly pierced into that dark spot, he disappeared instantly, appearing ten meters away the next moment, then flickered another ten meters away.

”Woo——!”

A roar seemed to shatter the Void, the airborne women spitting blood.

Already injured, the roar further agitated their blood, deepening their wounds.

”Bang bang bang bang bang...”

The giant bear, enraged, disregarded slapping at Qi Qingmei, directly pursued Chu Zhiyuan.

It leaped about a hundred meters, crushing peaks and trampling trees in its path.

Before it, peaks were like small stones easily kicked away, giant trees like sticks easily snapped underfoot.

Chu Zhiyuan moved like a wisp of smoke, swirling side to side under its chase, avoiding the massive bear paws.

Where the paws passed, the Void seemed fractured, eerie winds howling.

A bright moon rose again, descending toward the bear’s head.

”Bang bang bang bang...”

The left paw slapped at the bright moon, issuing explosive sounds.

Ignoring Qi Qingmei, the giant bear continued chasing Chu Zhiyuan without halting.

Suddenly, two streaks of Golden Light flew from Chu Zhiyuan’s sleeve, glaringly bright.

Unlike previous Flying Knives, the knives carried an overwhelmingly potent aura of the Demon Suppressing Divine Tree.

The giant bear faced the incoming Flying Knives separately, its satin-like fur shivering.

Immediately, invisible Gang Qi surged, the Flying Knives halted a meter before the giant bear.

Chu Zhiyuan’s eyes flashed brightly, electric light bursting forth, the two golden knives shone, sharply targeting the bear’s eyes.

The giant bear twisted its head to evade.

The Flying Knives grazed past both its ears, merely a gentle scrape.

”Howl——!”

The giant bear let out a wretched cry.

The golden light quickly spread across his head, like two sparks falling onto an oil surface.

The golden flame rapidly expanded, spreading across the surface of the giant bear’s body.

The women in the air breathed a sigh of relief.

This indicated that the Demon Suppressing Saber was effective against this Great Demon.

If the Demon Suppressing Saber was ineffective, and even the Bright Moon Divine Sword couldn’t handle it, it would really be troublesome.

Chu Zhiyuan once again flew a dozen flying knives from his sleeve, easily hitting the giant bear.

The golden light flashed again.

The golden flame roared like a fierce blaze, crashing wildly, shattering the surrounding mountain peaks.

Chu Zhiyuan kept retreating, while Lu Xiaolu waved the white silk, pulling the women to accelerate their retreat.

Qi Qingmei stopped mid-air with her sword horizontal, looking down at the giant bear.

The giant bear chased after Chu Zhiyuan, moving faster and faster.

The Jade Heaven Sword was inserted by him, and the flying knives were shot by him. This Great Demon was furious and determined to destroy him.

As Chu Zhiyuan dodged, he shot flying knives one by one, continuously injecting the aura of the Demon Suppressing Divine Tree into them.

This giant bear was able to withstand the aura of the Demon Suppressing Divine Tree, unlike other demons or Great Demons which would collapse immediately.

However, as the aura of the Demon Suppressing Divine Tree intensified, the giant bear’s strength to resist it weakened.

A bright moon rose again, and the Bright Moon Divine Sword was unleashed once more.

But facing the giant bear paw, the Bright Moon Divine Sword couldn’t break through the defense.

The Bright Moon Divine Sword slashed down, only matching evenly, unable to directly sever the bear paw.

The defense of this giant bear demon was unimaginably strong.

To break through its defense, it would either be restrained by the aura of the Demon Suppressing Divine Tree or find a weakness and pierce it precisely like the Jade Heaven Sword.

Taking advantage of the Bright Moon Divine Sword’s activation, Chu Zhiyuan flashed to the giant bear’s front, and before the bear paw fell, he sharply pulled the Jade Heaven Sword from the bear’s gallbladder location.

The Jade Heaven Sword shone as it left the bear’s body, causing blood to spurt.

”Roar—!”

The giant bear roared in anger again.

The blood inside the women scattered all around surged, almost causing them to vomit.

”Alas...” a young woman shook her head and sighed.

Lu Xiaolu kept her eyes fixed on the field, watching from a distance as Chu Zhiyuan and Qi Qingmei besieged the giant bear.

Seeing Chu Zhiyuan close in and pull his sword, narrowly avoiding the bear paw, she couldn’t help but feel tense.

Once they retreated to a distance, they could see it more clearly and found that this sword stroke by Chu Zhiyuan was the most fatal. After pulling the sword, the giant bear’s movements slowed down, losing its previously agile quickness.

Chu Zhiyuan found it increasingly easy to dodge, and the power of the Bright Moon Divine Sword also grew stronger.

The giant bear, draped in golden light, looked mighty and majestic, its aura remarkable.

But they could see it was already deflating, growing weaker and weaker.

It seemed certain to be completely annihilated soon.

Chu Zhiyuan suddenly shouted, ”Senior Sister Qi, we retreat!”

Qi Qingmei raised her voice, ”Go!”

Lu Xiaolu and the others hurriedly turned and ran, to avoid hindering Chu Zhiyuan and Qi Qingmei.

The giant bear chased behind, while Chu Zhiyuan and Qi Qingmei glided through the air, moving at incredible speed.

They fled over ten miles in one go, then saw the giant bear suddenly stop behind them and let out a roar.

Then the golden light burst forth.

”Boom!”

Amidst the earth-shattering explosion, the golden light that shot out converged again, reformed into a ball of golden flame rising into the air, and then silently vanished.

Within a radius of a hundred meters, it turned into a deep pit.

The two towering peaks that once stood were gone.

The ground was left with only a deep pit, its edge raised with mountain rocks mixed with tree fragments.

Chu Zhiyuan and the others floated down beside the pit, looking in.

The pit was flat, as if forming a small valley.

A silvery shiny, glittering demon core, about the size of a fist, caught everyone’s attention.

”Indeed a Great Demon.” Lu Xiaolu remarked.

A young woman laughed, ”Xiao Lu, if this isn’t a Great Demon, then what is?!”

She shook her head and said, ”I just didn’t expect such a formidable Great Demon.”

The Great Demon was formidable, but to such an extent, it was the first encounter.

Even the Bright Moon Divine Sword couldn’t penetrate its hide. Without Chu Zhiyuan’s presence, they would have only fled for their lives, powerless against the giant bear.

Qi Qingmei descended into the pit, picked up the demon core, and returned beside Chu Zhiyuan, handing it to him.

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head with a smile, ”Senior Sister, we took it down together, this time it’s yours. Next time we slay a Great Demon, the demon core will be mine.”

”...Alright.” Qi Qingmei accepted without much fuss, taking back the demon core.

She was very curious about why this Great Demon was so formidable.

Moreover, she needed the demon core to aid in practicing the Miao Zhen Jue.

She also understood that Chu Zhiyuan was repaying her for helping him ascend to the rank of Venerable last time.
