Ye Zhen’s actions resulted in the death of Xiong Kaihou, triggering the wrath of the Great Saint of the Giant Spirits, Xiong Cheng. Xiong Cheng retaliated, but Ye Zhen escaped into the void, retrieving the Essence-Stealing Needles from Xiong Kaihou’s corpse before Xiong Cheng could stop him. This retrieval caused a transformation within Ye Zhen.

Over a thousand vines and thirty-six Plum Blossom Essence-Stealing Needles, which had previously been severed outside by the Little Demon, reversed instantly when Ye Zhen sent a touch of green thread onto Xiong Kaihou’s corpse.

The green light rapidly returned through Ye Zhen’s meridians towards the Little Demon’s body located in Ye Zhen’s Yimu Spiritual Palace.

Yet during the reversal process, a mysterious force emanated from the reversing green brilliance, a force that caused even Ye Zhen’s Primordial Spirit to tremble with dread, seeping into Ye Zhen’s body.

This mysterious force that caused Ye Zhen’s Primordial Spirit to tremble was not unfamiliar to him.

It was precisely the Heaven and Earth Law Power that the Little Demon had devoured from other Dao Realm Martial Artists through its newly awakened Devouring Divine Ability.

Previously, the Little Demon had devoured part of the Heaven and Earth Law Power from Hu Buding, the Ninth Elder of the Fox Clan, and successfully broke through to the Dao Realm.

This time, the death of Xiong Kaihou from the Bear Clan Dao Realm was due to the thirty-six Plum Blossom Essence-Stealing Needles the Little Demon inserted into his Primordial Spirit, activating the Devouring Divine Ability to shatter it.

In other words, the Little Demon had again devoured five percent of the Heaven and Earth Law Power painstakingly comprehended by Xiong Kaihou.

Though the Heaven and Earth Law Power gained from Xiong Kaihou was much less than from Hu Buding, the amount was still significant.

However, the quantity wasn’t important; what mattered was that under normal circumstances, this Heaven and Earth Law Power devoured from Xiong Kaihou should have returned to the Little Demon’s body.

But in the course of reversal, due to the attack by Giant Spirit Bear King Xiong Cheng, the connection with the demon’s body was severed, ultimately redirecting through Ye Zhen’s meridians.

What Ye Zhen hadn’t expected was that during this process, the Heaven and Earth Law Power meant to return to the Little Demon’s body scattered instead into Ye Zhen’s body.

This was somewhat of good news.

Previously, Ye Zhen had contemplated how to transfer the Heaven and Earth Law Power devoured by the Little Demon to himself when he needed it.

Unexpectedly, the method turned out to be so simple.

But a new problem arose; Ye Zhen hadn’t yet broken through to the Dao Realm, so how could he activate or store this Heaven and Earth Law Power?

At this key moment, with the Great Saint Xiong Cheng persistently chasing outside, Ye Zhen had no time to ponder this question.

Thus, Ye Zhen adopted a laissez-faire attitude towards the Heaven and Earth Law Power scattered within his body.

Let it be.

Until Ye Zhen ended his confrontation with Great Saint Xiong Cheng, he had no time to deal with this unexpectedly acquired power.

But an extraordinary change happened at this moment.

Ye Zhen’s cultivation had been stuck at the Peak of Ninth Stage Dark Palace Realm, and to one day have a powerful world self-contained within his body, he had used a very precious World Fragment from the All Heavens Small World as his Foundation of Realm King to break through to the Dao Realm.

However, refining this World Fragment required a massive amount of time, even with Ye Zhen’s powerful Primordial Spirit; it required at least three to five years, even with the Temporal Sequence Space effect of the Mirage Dragon Pearl, Ye Zhen still needed half a year to a year to break through.

Thus, the World Fragment from the All Heavens Small World within Ye Zhen’s body had not yet been fully refined.

But at this moment, the World Fragment, cold as a stone and not fully refined within Ye Zhen’s body, suddenly began to heat up and glow.

In Ye Zhen’s Dark Palace, it shone like a bright star, glaringly intense.

Originally, the Heaven and Earth Law Power wandering within Ye Zhen’s meridians suddenly seemed attracted like flies to scent, voluntarily converging towards the World Fragment in Ye Zhen’s Dark Palace.

This change left Ye Zhen stunned.

Ye Zhen wanted to delve deeper, but with the furious Great Saint chasing him, Ye Zhen dared not be careless in the face of such an existence.

With just a quick glance, Ye Zhen dared not focus on the changes of the World Fragment and concentrated entirely on handling Great Saint.

Despite discussing so much, for Ye Zhen, these changes occurred in mere moments.

Externally, the situation remained where Great Saint Xiong Cheng just used the green light to locate Ye Zhen’s hiding spot, intending to strike and kill him, yet Ye Zhen avoided it with Wind Flash and Sweep.

The furious palm of Great Saint was immensely powerful, and after shattering the afterimage left by Ye Zhen’s rapid speed, the mountain-like Palm Shadow smashed once more onto the ground of Tu Mountain.

The whole Tu Mountain shuddered as though struck by several large mountains, resonating with tremors, causing countless houses to collapse again, and the heart of Qingqiu Tomb to light up with numerous Spirit Light.

This was the Guardian Light Screen triggered due to the damaged Qingqiu Tomb being impacted.

Witnessing this scene, a cold smile suddenly appeared at the corner of Ye Zhen’s mouth.

Ye Zhen had kept flying in the sky, and after sustaining for a few moments, the Geomagnetic Field effect had already expired.

Feeling a sudden lightness underneath, the speed recovered as Xiong Cheng roared furiously again, a small spirit hammer glowing bright yellow appeared, then extended against the wind.

Instantly, a giant hammer three hundred meters long and with a head like a mountain appeared abruptly in the hands of Great Saint Xiong Cheng, subtly emanating an Acquired Spirit Treasure aura.

As the Great Saint of the Giant Spirits, possessing a powerful Acquired Spirit Treasure is not surprising.

However, since the Great Saint of the Giant Spirits has already displayed this Acquired Spirit Treasure, it represents his determination to kill Ye Zhen today.

Everyone around, Zhu Hong, Hu Qingtong, Ling Qianbi, and Hur Chimei held their breaths, their expressions tense.

Ye Zhen, with the cultivation of the Peak of the Ninth Stage Dark Palace Realm, facing the Late Dao Realm Great Saint of the Giant Spirits, even if Ye Zhen is extraordinary, is in a situation of near-certain death.

Now, the Great Saint of the Giant Spirits has even displayed an Acquired Spirit Treasure, which is even more terrifying.

One must know that the same Acquired Spirit Treasure, when held by a Ninth Stage Martial Artist, and by a Dao Realm expert, the power exhibited is as different as clouds and mud.

But strangely, Ye Zhen, the person involved, showed no sign of fear at this moment.

He did not pay any attention to the Great Saint of the Giant Spirits Xiong Cheng who displayed the Acquired Spirit Treasure, but instead looked into the void.

"Several elders of the Fox Clan, if the fight starts and the Great Saint of the Giant Spirits destroys Tu Mountain completely, it won’t be Ye Zhen’s fault!"

As soon as Ye Zhen finished his words, deafening booms and the sound of Ye Zhen’s Wind Flash and Sweep breaking through the air occurred simultaneously.

The Acquired Spirit Treasure-level giant hammer in the Great Saint of the Giant Spirits’ hand smashed countless illusory shadows and headed straight for Tu Mountain.

The Bear Clan is immensely strong, with unparalleled combat power, as long as they stand on the ground, they are almost invincible, but speed is their weakness.

It is precisely for this reason that even though the Bear Clan is one of the few races with a Demon Emperor in Taimeng Demon Realm, their strength and the ranking of their Demon Emperor are at the lower end among the Five Great Demon Emperors.

However, the Bear Clan’s destructive power is terrifying to those Demon Races with fixed territories, as they hold a very shocking deterrent power.

This creates a strange situation among the Demon Races. Although the Bear Clan Demon Emperor’s strength is ranked lower among the Five Great Demon Emperors, many demon clans in the Taimeng Demon Realm prefer not to offend the Bear Clan over non-crucial issues.

The reason is simple; offending them may not lead to your demise, but they can ruin your clan’s territory completely, very annoyingly.

At the same moment, upon hearing Ye Zhen’s words, several Supreme Elders of the Fox Clan in the void had their expressions change drastically. Upon seeing the Great Saint of the Giant Spirits’ attack miss again, their faces turned green.

Such an attack by the Great Saint of the Giant Spirits, not taking much, just three strikes, would overturn the entire Tu Mountain. Not only would ordinary buildings become ruins, but even the Qingqiu Tomb might suffer damage again.

With the wisdom of the three Supreme Elders of the Fox Clan, they naturally knew what they should do.

The next moment, two Supreme Elders of the Fox Clan darted from the void, their light beams shooting from their hands to intercept the Acquired Spirit Treasure-level giant hammer falling toward Tu Mountain.

Fox Clan’s Supreme Third Elder Tu Che rushed toward the Great Saint of the Giant Spirits Xiong Cheng, "Great Saint, please hold your hand."

With the obstruction of the two Supreme Elders, the terrifying hammer’s power was minimized, but it still shook the entire Tu Mountain again.

"This kid killed my clan’s Dao Realm in front of me; if I, Xiong Cheng, don’t pursue this, how can I explain to my Bear King?"

"Move aside!" the Great Saint of the Giant Spirits Xiong Cheng roared, as the Acquired Spirit Treasure-level giant hammer erupted with Spirit Light again.

"Great Saint, please hold your hand!"

A flash of light, and the three Supreme Elders of the Fox Clan all gathered together, encircling the Great Saint of the Giant Spirits, as the overwhelming Spiritual Power surged and the Heaven and Earth Laws Power oppressed everyone’s heart began to fluctuate massively.

"Great Saint, Tu Mountain is the ancestral land of our Fox Clan. If Great Saint truly wants to continue causing havoc and destroy our ancestral land Tu Mountain, then we old ones, will have no choice but to risk our lives against the Great Saint." The Supreme Grand Elder of the Fox Clan said firmly.

The Great Saint of the Giant Spirits Xiong Cheng was stunned; he was a wise old bear and immediately comprehended.

Ye Zhen was too cunning; if he persisted, it would push the entire Fox Clan to the opposite side.

The Bear Clan naturally does not fear the Fox Clan, but the current Fox Clan is not one that can be taken lightly.

The Fox Clan has adhered to a think tank strategy for tens of thousands of years. Though their own strength is not too strong, the forces they can influence and mobilize are incredibly impressive.

Furthermore, Xiong Cheng is currently within Tu Mountain of the Fox Clan; no matter how powerful he is, he isn’t a match for the Fox Clan’s three Supreme Elders.

"Rest assured, elders, I have my discretion, I only seek to kill this kid and will not harm Tu Mountain again," the Great Saint of the Giant Spirits Xiong Cheng promised.

The three Supreme Elders of the Fox Clan simultaneously rolled their eyes. Could a guy from the Bear Clan really have discretion?

Of course not!

Besides, even if the Great Saint of the Giant Spirits Xiong Cheng truly had discretion, his opponent Ye Zhen was not easy to deal with. His previous words clearly had the strategy of deflecting trouble.

The three Supreme Elders continued to encircle the Great Saint of the Giant Spirits Xiong Cheng without letting go.

The Great Saint of the Giant Spirits Xiong Cheng became anxious, "Since you don’t want this Great Saint to act, then you three, capture that murderous bastard alive for me, let this Great Saint deal with him, and it’s all settled!" Xiong Cheng shouted angrily.
