Little Yu used her sword to block the charging Bone Bear King.
Undeterred, the Bone Bear King continued his assault, confident that his raw strength would overpower the slender human before him.
Yet, the sword gradually sank into his bones.
Impossible! My bones are unbreakable!
The Bone Bear King swiftly altered his tactics, swatting Little Yu’s blade aside and creating distance between them.
“Pierce through her, my bones!”
Bones erupted from the Bone Bear King’s body, hurtling toward Little Yu.
His gaze then fell upon the nearly severed bone on his arm—the result of Little Yu’s earlier strike.
He couldn’t quite believe it. Had he pushed forward recklessly, he would have been the one injured.
For a fleeting moment, he even imagined himself cleaved in two.
Absurd! His defenses were among the finest in the beast army.
“Are you underestimating me?”
Little Yu had already shattered the incoming bones and was now advancing, sword in hand.
The Bone Bear King was startled. He’d barely lost focus, and yet his opponent had already dismantled his attack.
This human was not to be taken lightly.
The Bone Bear King unleashed his full power, his bones turning a deep crimson.
Their hardness intensified.
With a furious roar, he swung both fists, bones and all, at Little Yu.
Little Yu paused briefly before decisively dodging.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The ground cratered under the force of his blows.
The Bone Bear King grinned. As expected, strength was his domain.
Little Yu’s physical power paled in comparison, but her sword was swift.
“Seven Stars Converge!”
The same technique as before.
Yet this time, it was undeniably far more potent.
The Bone Bear King blocked with both arms, skidding back hundreds of meters, but a smirk crept onto his face.
“I admit you’re strong, but these bones won’t be so easily broken now.”
Little Yu remained expressionless, pressing her attack.
She couldn’t keep Su Luo waiting.
Su Luo, meanwhile, sat idly by. This level of opponent was beneath Little Yu’s skills.
The Bone Bear King gathered all his bones into his right fist, swelling it to several times his own size.
A terrifying sight.
Without hesitation, he launched it straight at Little Yu.
The massive fist tore through the air with violent force.
Little Yu dodged effortlessly.
“This is why I despise humans like you—always dodging!”
The bones from the Bone Bear King’s fist scattered in all directions, raining down like a storm.
Not a single gap to evade.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Useless. The dispersed strikes lacked power, and Little Yu deflected them with ease.
She closed the distance steadily.
“Double Seven Stars Converge!”
A sharp pain shot through the Bone Bear King’s chest.
He hastily recalled his bones.
The scattered bones froze mid-air before hurtling back to him.
Little Yu pressed on: “Triple Seven Stars Converge.”
“What nonsense is this? Is this the only move you know?!”
With most of his bones now returned, the Bone Bear King’s confidence surged. Countless bones now encircled Little Yu.
Escaping his next attack wouldn’t be so simple.
Little Yu ignored it.
“Quadruple Seven Stars Converge!”
Her power climbed yet again.
“I told you—it’s useless! I’m sick of this move.”
The Bone Bear King blocked effortlessly.
But then—a faint, crisp sound from his bones. Surely just his imagination.
He prepared to unleash a devastating punch.
Yet Little Yu struck first.
“Tenfold Seven Stars Converge!”
Her momentum, built step by step, peaked with this technique.
Outwardly, it resembled the earlier strikes, but its power was ten times greater.
Using the full tenfold from the start was difficult—this technique required warming up.
The Bone Bear King sensed danger. Why skip straight to tenfold? Where were the fifth, sixth, seventh?!
He activated his ultimate move in response.
“Crimson Bone Malice Fist!”
But before his punch reached full power, Little Yu’s blade slashed across his body a dozen times.
The Bone Bear King felt his life threatened. His bones, once unyielding, had been severed in over a dozen places.
Wounds littered his body.
His strength faltered. Though his fist still carried force, Little Yu no longer feared it. With a single stroke, she cleaved through his bones and left a deep gash across his fist.
The Bone Bear King desperately pulled out a treasure, emitting an eerie sound.
A distress signal—meant to reach the Grand Priest.
Though dim-witted, he knew: if things went south, the Grand Priest must be informed.
That was the Grand Priest’s decree. Even in death, the message must be delivered.
Unbeknownst to him, Su Luo had already set up a barrier. His signal wouldn’t escape.
Not that it mattered. The Grand Priest would learn of his death regardless—just with fewer details.
The Bone Bear King made his last stand, encasing himself in bones. Defend first, then seek an opening to counter.
Little Yu maintained her Tenfold Seven Stars Converge, relentlessly hacking through his defenses.
She gave him no chance.
Finally, the Bone Bear King abandoned defense for a desperate lunge. “Why… why are you so strong?!”
He refused to accept it.
“Because I’ve trained hard.”
With a final surge, Little Yu reduced the Bone Bear King to a thousand pieces—bones included.
Breathing heavily, she steadied herself.
Sustaining the tenfold technique had drained her somewhat.
But she recovered quickly.
“Let’s go,” Su Luo said.
“Mm.”
No need for praise. She’d performed excellently.
Meanwhile…
The Grand Priest opened his eyes once more.
He sensed it—the Bone Bear King had fallen.
“The humans this time are unusually strong.”
And why had the Bone Bear King failed to send a signal? Was there no opportunity, or had he been careless?
The Grand Priest commanded, “Swift Eagle King, take more beasts and investigate.”
The Swift Eagle King—unmatched in speed, his cultivation at the peak of Cave Void realm.
“Understood.”
If even the defensively gifted Bone Bear King had died, a stronger force was needed.
The Swift Eagle King didn’t underestimate the threat. Following the Grand Priest’s orders, he prepared to gather more powerful beasts.
“No need. I’ll go myself.”
The Beast Lord stepped forward leisurely.
“This… hardly warrants your personal involvement,” the Grand Priest said respectfully.
“No matter. I’d like to see if this one is worth awakening my Divine Beast bloodline.”
“You jest, Beast Lord. That human is likely already gravely wounded by the Bone Bear King.”
The Grand Priest couldn’t fathom anyone surpassing the Beast Lord.
Not when he possessed the Divine Beast bloodline!
The Beast Lord said nothing more and departed.
This was a notification, not a request. In the wildlands, no beast dared oppose his will.
Yet the moment the Beast Lord left, another signal reached the Grand Priest.
“So, the humans didn’t come alone.”
And this group seemed larger—and stronger.
The Grand Priest snorted coldly. To him, humans deserved only death.
“Since they’ve all come, it would be impolite not to welcome them properly.”
He strode out, summoning a vast army of powerful beasts.
They would extend a fitting reception.
