Vast Sea Immortal City.

The four great Golden Core Ancestors of the Human Race were fiercely battling several Demon Kings across from them. The battle had reached a fever pitch, with both sides sustaining injuries.

Now, it was the critical moment to decide the victor.

But out of the corner of his eye, Master Vast Sea surprisingly noticed that the formidable Tier Three Earth-Shaking Bear King was hastily retreating from the battlefield of the Immortal City, taking its demon beasts with it in great urgency.

"Elder Wei, why did the Earth-Shaking Bear King run away?"

"Could it be a trick of the Demon Race?"

Wei Wuya's opponent just now was the Tier Three Bear King. After having taken a sword strike from Wei Wuya, it seemed quite vengeful and sought him out as soon as the battle began.

During their combat, Wei Wuya also found the strength of the Tier Three Bear King truly intimidating.

But just as it was locked in an intense struggle with him, it suddenly turned and ran...

This left Wei Wuya somewhat bewildered, unable to understand what was happening.

"It doesn't seem like a trick. From what I saw, it was hastily retreating. It seems like something happened that forced it to withdraw." Wei Wuya calmly transmitted this to the other three Golden Core Ancestors.

With the retreat of the Earth-Shaking Bear Race, not only was there immediate relief among the top-tier combatants on the side of the Golden Core Ancestors,

but even outside the Immortal City, a large gap appeared in the beast horde, prompting the cultivators defending the city to sound the horn for a counterattack.

"Elder Lud Yang!"

"What do we do? The Bear Race has suddenly fled the battlefield."

Referred to as Elder Lud Yang was the Tier Three Mid-Stage Demon King.

"Hmm... Just now, the Clan Leader of the Bear Tribe informed me that there was a major upheaval within their race, forcing them to withdraw and rush back to reinforce Bear King Valley."

Upon hearing this, the Heaven-Devouring Rat Demon King and the Horned Deer Demon King were shocked!

"What!? How could this be?"

"Isn't the Bear King's eldest son guarding Bear King Valley? With its strength, unless attacked by Human Golden Cores, it should be fine."

"All four Golden Core Ancestors of the Human Race are here. Could there be other Golden Core Stage cultivators?"

"Could this be a cunning plan by the Humans?"

"It's possible!"

"Now that the Bear King has fled, Elder Lud, what should we plan next?"

"Hmm... Without the leading charge of the Earth-Shaking Bear King's tribe, the Human Immortal City cannot be breached for the time being."

"This battle doesn't hold much significance anymore. Let's retreat for now and defend our respective tribes."

"We'll await further news from our King before making any decisions!"

The other two Demon Kings quickly nodded and ordered their respective tribes to retreat, flowing towards the Beast Roar Mountain Range like a tide.

Just as the three Demon Kings were about to retreat,

the four human ancestors began forming hand seals; they wouldn't let such an opportunity slip away easily.

Combining their forces, they unleashed the strongest strike using the Tier Three High-Grade Grand Array of Vast Sea Immortal City upon the retreating Demon Kings!

Buzz!

A blue brilliance shot up from the peak of Vast Sea Peak, transforming into a pillar of light that pierced the sky and struck the back of one Demon King, suddenly erupting into a cloud of blood mist.

"Ouch!! My back! Damn it!"

Under the combined strike of the four Golden Core Ancestors, one of the Demon Kings was severely injured.

With this, Vast Sea Immortal City wouldn't face the threat of a beast tide anytime soon.

...

Inside Vast Sea Immortal City.

"Look quickly! The Demon Kings are retreating!"

"Woohoo! The beast tide is retreating too!"

"We've survived!"

The defending cultivators erupted in survival shouts of relief, and the loose cultivators inside the city were visibly excited, emerging from their fear.

They all cheered and chanted the names of Master Vast Sea and the other Golden Core Ancestors.

...

Deep within the Beast Roar Mountain Range.

Swish!

A stream of silver light flew rapidly across the sky within the Beast Roar Mountain Range.

Qin Ming, pivotal in turning the tide of events, rode upon a Silver-winged Frost Bee, subsequently retrieving a Tier Two High-Grade Recovery Pill from his storage pouch and consuming it.

The Qi Blood Power within his body rapidly replenished.

Qin Ming dared not stop for a moment, urging the Silver-winged Frost Bee beneath him to flee at full speed in one direction.

Since he had never been to the Beast Roar Mountain Range before and was unfamiliar with its terrain,

he could only steel himself to forge ahead stubbornly in one direction to break through.

Time passed, lasting over two hours.

With his powerful Divine Thought, Qin Ming suddenly detected a terrifying aura following him, and upon a deeper probe, he was almost scared out of his wits!

A Tier Three Earth-Shaking Bear Demon King was chasing determinedly in his direction!

Qin Ming decisively put away the Silver-winged Frost Bee, already exhausted beyond endurance.

He then employed the Blood Escape Technique from the Primordial Evil Seed Demon Scripture to run for his life.

Rustle!

Executing the secret technique, Qin Ming vanished into thin air, reappearing a hundred miles away in a flicker of blood shadows.

After expending a large amount of Qi Blood Power, in just a few breaths, Qin Ming fled hundreds of miles away.

Even the Tier Three Earth-Shaking Bear King trailing him lost track of his target in an instant and furiously pounded its chest, roaring in frustration.

Half a day later.

After a desperate Blood Escape, a silhouette of the Inch Mountain Market appeared in the north, not far from Qin Ming's sight.

"Finally escaped!"

Qin Ming nearly shouted in excitement.

However, Inch Mountain Market had also faced the beast tide's impact and had long turned into a desolate ruin.

Only a few dozen Low-Tier demon beasts were scavenging for food amidst the ruins.

Since he had already escaped the grasp of the Beast Roar Mountain Range, things were simpler now.

Qin Ming aimed for the direction of the Spirit Nest Islands and accelerated his flight.

"Ugh! What bad luck!"

"How did I end up being teleported into the lair of that Bear Race Demon King?"

"What rotten luck! I wonder how Guu Qingzhao and the others are doing."

"At the last moment of my teleportation, I felt the Array being disrupted by some mysterious force."

"Sigh! I wonder if Vast Sea Immortal City can withstand this disaster."

Continuously employing the Blood Escape Technique depleted Qin Ming's Qi Blood, causing his face to pale.

Once out of the Beast Roar Mountain Range, he was almost safe.

Thus, he summoned the Silver-winged Frost Bee again and flew back in the direction of his Wangyue Island.

Along the way, to ensure safety, Qin Ming intentionally took several detours, confirming that no one followed him and that no strange tracking techniques marked him.

Only then did he head towards Wangyue Lake.

Upon opening the Mist Illusion Realm and returning to Wangyue Island, he and the Silver-winged Frost Bee collapsed exhausted at the entrance of his Cave Mansion.

The Profound Water Crocodile first hurried over with its massive body to Qin Ming, only to find its master and Silver-winged Frost Bee both in a weakened state. It puzzlingly wagged its tail.

Qin Ming immediately took out the Blood Evil Pill and Blood Bone Pill, consumed them, and sat cross-legged to recuperate his overly exhausted Qi Blood.

He also fed a Spirit-Transforming Demon Fruit to the Silver-winged Frost Bee, who gleefully took the Spirit Fruit back to its hive below the Longevity Vine to recover.

The nearby Profound Water Crocodile watched with utmost envy, nodding its head back and forth while acting as a guardian.

Two days passed.

Under the aid of pills and his robust recovery abilities from his Body Refining Technique, Qin Ming restored about seventy to eighty percent of his Qi Blood.

"Whew~"

He opened his eyes and let out a long breath.

Then.

Qin Ming stood and approached his Lifebound Spirit Plant, the Longevity Vine.

"Although this trip was somewhat dangerous, it wasn't completely unfruitful."

After speaking, Qin Ming took out those thousands of Blood Pearls from his storage pouch, including an exceptionally large one, belonging to the Tier Two Perfection Level Earth-Shaking Giant Bear.

The numerous Blood Pearls floated in front of Qin Ming.

Rustle!

The moment the Blood Pearls appeared, the Longevity Vine, asleep for over a year, seemed to catch the scent it long missed, eagerly unfurling its black tendrils.
