"Just a Gold Bear?"

The Yellow Bear Members have stalled for so long. They've managed to collect quite a bit of Elephant God Walk power data, and this is all they get? Just a Gold Bear Level?

The blonde Egersis couldn't help but get a strange look on his face.

Considering his understanding of the Yellow Bear physique, the power of a Gold Bear Level definitely wouldn't exceed S+. Although that's pretty strong, compared to an SS-Level Elephant God Walk... The difference is more than just a little. Arrogant Sum Countrymen...

The blonde Egersis made a quick internal comment, but his mood began to relax.

If the Sum Countrymen were being overconfident, the consequence... would be that their chance of obtaining the "key" on this mission would greatly increase. After all, they had Firefist Julian, who was also SS-Level, present.

The blonde Egersis failed to notice someone among their group: a beautiful woman with high-powered binoculars, intently watching the battlefield.

Upon seeing the appearance of the Gold Bear, she involuntarily trembled slightly.

"So, this is your so-called protagonist?"

At the top of the mountain, Red-haired Julian sneered at the handsome youth beside him and said, "A... Gold Bear Level?"

The handsome youth was looking at the battlefield with a strange expression and made a hushing gesture.

"Shush—don't make a noise. I, too, am pretty... surprised, okay? Gold Bear Level... how can it be a Gold Bear Level? There's no trace of New Martial abilities or modification; its power rating fluctuates between S and S+. How do they plan on fighting? Isn't this suicide? No wonder that great one had me watch from the wings..."

The handsome youth scratched his head and couldn't help but sigh lightly. "Old You, it looks like we'll have to step in later..."

"Heh heh..."

Red-haired Julian just kept laughing coldly.

Lu Yuan stood in the center of the field, his feet sinking deep into the solid earth.

At this moment, he was two and a half meters tall. His hair had grown dramatically, now hanging down to his waist.

His whole body was a mass of gnarled muscle, his skin flushed red, veins bulging prominently, like a body cast from molten lava that hadn't yet cooled.

On his back, a massive, blood-red lotus eye was on the verge of opening.

He was like a blazing furnace, exuding rolling heat waves from head to toe.

"HUFF—HUFF—"

Lu Yuan was trying hard to stabilize his breathing.

Despite falling from a kilometer high and using Death Qi Coagulation Wings to slow his descent midway, he had still activated the Netherworld Clothing an instant before landing. This, along with the shock-absorbing effect inherent to the Gold Bear Level battle suit, hadn't prevented the massive counter-shock from the landing from hitting him hard.

Even a Constitution of 20 points after one Break the Limit almost couldn't withstand that...

However, there were pros and cons.

The counter-shock from landing seemed to accelerate the miraculous metamorphosis his body was undergoing after all four of his Basic Attributes had undergone a Break the Limit. His ability to grow to two and a half meters after activating the three stages of Ultimate Transformation was related to this metamorphosis.

I wonder what changes the end of the metamorphosis will bring...

As Lu Yuan was thinking, the ground under his feet suddenly began to shake.

His expression instantly turned serious. His eyes narrowed, and his Spiritual Power quickly permeated downward.

In his "field of view," Lu Yuan could clearly "see" a huge, shadowy figure burrowing out of the ground like a cannonball.

The peerless technique of descending from the heavens almost shook my own body apart. After taking a hit like that, it's still so full of life?

Lu Yuan was slightly startled, and the next second, a savage look appeared on his face.

He took a deep, long breath, as if he had sucked back all the heat waves he had emitted.

His body, like that of a demon or fiend, tensed like a great bow. His right arm was raised, and his chest was thrust high.

On his dark-red muscles, the bulging veins almost swelled into tiny spheres.

RUMBLE! RUMBLE!

The ground beneath his feet was constantly shaking. Just as the massive shadow, erupting from underground, was about to break the surface, a tide of black Death Qi surged rapidly from Lu Yuan's body. In an instant, all of it gathered on his right fist, which was drawn back to its utmost limit...

BOOM!

A pitch-black, gloomy, ugly, and grotesque elephant head roared as it burst from the earth.

The deformed, monstrous eye that had split open between its brows resembled the mouthparts of some demonic creature, its edges lined with a dense row of tiny, saw-like teeth.

At the same time, an incredibly intense light shot forth from Lu Yuan's eyes.

He snorted coldly. His right fist, fully enveloped in Death Qi, came crashing down ruthlessly!

One Break the Limit, a Strength of 21 points!

Lv. 4 Special Burst—Ultimate Force Effect activated!

A terrifying force of close to two hundred tons!

And also...

Super Kill—Netherworld River Notification of Death!

BANG!

This fist landed squarely on the grotesque elephant head.

The moment this punch was thrown, the blood-red lotus eye on Lu Yuan's back seemed to quickly blink open and shut.

Lu Yuan, however, felt as if he had struck an incredibly hard slab of steel-like rock.

The shockwave and sound wave created where fist met head exploded instantaneously...

BOOM!

Centered on him, all the earth and stone within a hundred-meter radius shattered into finer fragments and simultaneously flew several meters into the air.

BOOM—

Fierce Death Qi, like burning black flames, erupted from beneath the ground in pillars.

Large amounts of rock and earth were ground into fine sand by the surging Death Qi.

The large area of the battlefield where Lu Yuan stood directly collapsed and continued to sink...

The sheer terrifying power of it made the watching Yellow Bear Members on the outskirts of the field gasp in horror, but soon their expressions filled with unrestrained fanaticism and veneration.

Gold Bear!

This was the combat power of a Gold Bear Level expert!

At the top of the mountain, Julian and the handsome young man, who were watching the fight, both had a gleam in their eyes.

The latter couldn't help but laugh, pointing below as he said to Julian, "Well? Isn't this guy fit to be the protagonist?"

"Interesting."

A flash glinted in Julian's slightly squinted eyes, but they swiftly returned to calm. He glanced at the handsome young man and said indifferently, "But to contend with a Walker Level of the Elephant God Religion, with just this bit of skill... it's far, far from enough, you know."

The handsome young man snorted lightly, seemingly in contempt, but he didn't retort.

WHEW—

Lu Yuan steadied himself within the slowly collapsing ground, gently massaging the wrist of the hand that had just thrown the punch.

Super Kill—Netherworld River Notification of Death + a fist strength of close to two hundred tons after breaking the limit!

This punch was undoubtedly the most powerful he had ever thrown.

The sensation from that punch—sweeping aside and crushing everything—even sparked some inspiration deep within him, ideas rapidly colliding and bursting forth.

But...

It seems to be unscathed?

Lu Yuan furrowed his brow, his Spiritual Power swiftly searching the ground beneath.

But he had lost track of the Elephant God Walk that he had, with that one punch, driven deep into the earth once more.

A faint sense of unease and crisis shrouded Lu Yuan's heart like smoke.

As this feeling grew stronger and more intense...

Lu Yuan's face changed drastically; his robust body was instantly enveloped in a dazzling golden and deep black layer.

Combined Amitabha Gold Coat + Netherworld Clothing!

It was at the exact moment he deployed both these abilities.

BOOM!

A towering figure infused with demonic energy abruptly burst out from beneath his feet.

This was accompanied by an elephant's roar—vast and ancient, yet deeply suffused with a palpable evil—that suddenly rang out.

Lu Yuan, caught off guard, was fiercely knocked into the air by this figure, shooting away like a cannonball.

"@#￥....!"

Ancient Phoenician.

"Demon! Mountain!"
