"So it was you?!"

The Hundred-Eyed Demon Monarch was visibly shocked. It seemed to recall something, and its gaze kept shifting between the Black Bear Spirit and Lin Heng, the more it looked, the more familiar the Daoist's figure appeared.

Suddenly, it exclaimed with hindsight:

"You're the 'monk' from before who threw out Fa Hai's Golden Body?"

Lin Heng remained silent, but the Black Bear Spirit exclaimed in surprise:

"Wow, you actually guessed it?"

It sincerely gave the Hundred-Eyed Demon Monarch a thumbs-up; this fiend had some brains.

"So, you deliberately put on a show to make us fight over Fa Hai's Golden Body..."

The Hundred-Eyed Demon Monarch was keenly aware, realizing now that its group was provoked.

This realization made its expression as ugly as if it had swallowed a dead rat.

Lin Heng smiled lightly, "Too bad you realized it now, a bit late."

Upon hearing this, the Hundred-Eyed Demon Monarch's eyes almost seemed to spit fire.

It stared venomously at Lin Heng, and suddenly, all eyes on its body opened. Blood-red gazes, filled with terrifying power, shot out violently.

However, Lin Heng only let out a cold snort, then casually swung a sword. The Celestial Extreme Heaven and Earth Sword's power was fully unleashed after he reached the Great Power Realm.

With a single sword stroke, the sky was filled with Sword Qi, instantly breaking through those hundred blood-colored glows.

The Sword Qi didn't stop there, continuing to attack the Hundred-Eyed Demon Monarch.

The Demon Monarch was both shocked and furious; already heavily injured, it dared not resist. While its heart pounded, it flickered to escape, but still, a strand of Sword Qi grazed its shoulder.

Its physical body was indeed strong, but under the power of this Immortal Sword, it was as fragile as tofu.

That arm was directly cut off, shattering in mid-air into a blood mist.

"An Immortal Artifact? This is also a damn Immortal Artifact?!"

With astonishment and anger, the Hundred-Eyed Demon Monarch's mind buzzed just like that of a Corpse Demon, unable to believe it was yet another Immortal Soldier!

Without time to be stunned, the Demon Monarch, dragging its heavily injured body, turned into a black light trying to flee.

But Lin Heng had just ascended to the Great Power Realm, in peak condition, and had the Near and Far as well. How could the Demon Monarch escape?

There was no suspense.

Accompanied by another terrifying Sword Qi, the Hundred-Eyed Demon Monarch only had time to let out a miserable scream before being utterly annihilated, soul and all, in fury and reluctance.

[Congratulations to the host for slaying a Path of the Palm Realm peak demon, Cultivation +10000000000]

The system prompt arrived as expected.

Another billion Cultivation Value reward, allowing Lin Heng's aura to surge again. Consecutive subtitle flashes advanced him directly from the Third Layer to the Fifth Layer of the Great Power Realm!

"There are still three left, can't let them go!"

The cultivation boost from the Corpse Demon and Hundred-Eyed Demon Monarch made Lin Heng even more determined to eliminate the remaining three.

Without hesitation, he headed towards the battlefield.

Unexpectedly, a woman suddenly appeared in front. A woman with a stunning face but peculiarly pale complexion.

Lin Heng's steps halted, his eyes narrowing slightly.

"Don't go."

The suddenly appeared woman spoke with a heavy tone, shaking her head at Lin Heng's group.

"Don't go over there!"

She repeated, with a deep warning in her beautiful eyes.

"Who are you?"

Bai Suzhen and the Black Bear Spirit came to Lin Heng's side. They frowned, sensing the cold aura from the woman, just as Lin Heng did.

This was a Ghost Cultivator!

"Do not go!"

The woman warned again, saying another sentence.

"Granny is about to appear!"

Upon finishing, as if something urgent occurred, her face changed slightly, and she vanished from the spot.

"What, what's happening?"

The Black Bear Spirit was full of questions, bewildered by the sudden appearance of the female ghost.

Bai Suzhen, on the other hand, looked towards the battlefield with a sense of foreboding.

At that moment, Dust Concealment and Dust Spirit were displaying their might with the help of an Immortal Artifact.

The Thousand-legged State Preceptor, King of Mountain Swallowing, and Sea-Overturning Flood Dragon King were resisting with great difficulty, only able to fight and retreat simultaneously.

But for some reason, Bai Suzhen felt a sense of danger rapidly approaching.

"Observatory Master, we must heed her!"

Bai Suzhen suddenly spoke sternly, with extreme seriousness in her tone.

Upon hearing this, Lin Heng also turned serious.

Though his current cultivation was not much different from Bai Suzhen's, she was once a Foundation Level existence, far more sensitive to danger than him!

Most importantly, the repeated solemn warnings from the suddenly appearing, then disappearing female ghost, also instilled a sense of caution in him.

"Who is the 'Granny' she mentioned?"

Lin Heng furrowed his brow, lost in thought.

Just then.

A terrifying aura suddenly burst forth from the battlefield, quickly spreading out like ripples, even reaching his side.

"Foundation Level aura?"

Lin Heng abruptly raised his head, gazing seriously towards the battlefield.

He'd felt this kind of aura before at Jinshan Temple and Lingyin Temple!

An absolute Foundation Level existence!

"Whoa, is this the appearance of a great being?"

The Black Bear Spirit, not having reached the Great Power Realm, found the Foundation Level's pressure suffocating.

Its fur stood up instantly.

Everyone stared intently at the battlefield.

There they saw mountains suddenly collapse, ground shatter, and what followed was massive vines filled with vengeful spirits bursting from all directions.

The area they covered stretched across tens of miles!

The nearest vines to Lin Heng's group were less than a hundred meters away, almost at arm's length!

They only saw countless vines burst from the ground ahead, blotting out the sky and sun, rising from the earth and cascading down from the clouds, intertwining.

In a fleeting moment, they formed a massive vine cage covering a radius of tens of miles.

Blotting out the sky and sun.

The entire battlefield was engulfed by it.

"Gasp..."

The sudden upheaval made countless observing cultivators gasp in shock.

Many ancient beings were terrified at this moment.

"An Immortal Platform Realm existence, it is an Immortal Platform Realm existence!!"

"Heavens, how many years has it been since a Foundation Level aura emerged?"

"What kind of demon is this? Could it be the legendary Black Mountain Demon at work?!"

Many had such conjectures.

Even the Black Bear Spirit couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow, could it really be the Black Mountain Demon?"

"No, it isn't."

Bai Suzhen, with a grave expression, shook her head, speaking solemnly, "The Black Mountain Demon is even more terrifying than this!"

"What? The Black Mountain Demon is scarier than this, this..."

The Black Bear Spirit was stunned, then confused, "Then who is this?"

Bai Suzhen furrowed her brows, saying, "If I'm not mistaken, this should be the Ghost Tree personally dealt with by Daoist Yan of Kunlun Mountain back in the day!"

"Over in Black Mountain, they would all refer to it as Tree Demon Granny!"
