336: Chapter 336 The Sixth Branch of the Bear Clan, the Six-Winged Golden Cicada!

In the heart of the Myriad Demon Domain, near the former site of the White Cloud Temple.

Here, the ley lines converged, and Spiritual Qi was abundant. After over two hundred years of gestation, the two embryonic blessed lands that Daoist Yun Du had personally cultivated finally matured completely.

One was a vast lake situated among the mountains, forged from the Yao Beast Sea Ape Beast's demon core and the Tianyi True Water Qi; the other was located within a volcano: the Fire Cloud Cave!

These two blessed lands each gave birth to a wisp of pure heaven and earth qi!

The water-attributed heaven and earth qi, the Tianyi True Water Qi.

The fire-attributed heaven and earth qi, the Fire Cloud Earth Heart Qi.

With the emergence of the heaven and earth qi, the myriad demons were in an uproar. Shi Jian did not intervene in the ownership of these two wisps of heaven and earth qi, nor did White Crane inquire about it.

The rule of the Myriad Demon Domain: things born of heaven and earth belong to those capable of holding them.

The struggle for them was also extremely brutal.

For that wisp of Tianyi True Water Qi, dozens of aquatic tribes from the southern marshes poured out in full force, and the myriad demons gathered!

There were Peak Great Yao such as the Dragon-Blooded Crocodile, the Profound Water Turtle, and the Jade Water Python, as well as countless Level 3 and Level 4 Great Yao slaughtering each other until the sky went dark in the Tianyi Water Lake.

The lake water was dyed red with blood, and corpses piled up like mountains.

In the end, the one that fought its way out was an existence that all Yao Beasts had never expected.

It was none other than the Six-Winged Golden Cicada!

This ancient exotic species, which originally occupied the edge of the marshes and was few in number, displayed terrifying ferocity in this struggle.

That Golden Cicada Great Yao, the size of a calf with six thin golden wings on its back, relied on its terrifying speed and a Physical Body strength comparable to metal to forcefully kill several Level 4 Peak Great Yao.

It even slaughtered the Dragon-Blooded Crocodile, which was at the Level 4 Peak, and under the watchful eyes of the myriad demons, seized the Tianyi True Water Qi in one fell swoop!

Three months later, the Tianyi Water Lake exploded.

A Six-Winged Golden Cicada, its size shrunk to that of a normal human and its entire body seemingly forged from Dark-Gold glazed glass, broke out of the water.

On its six thin wings, deep water ripples flowed, and every time it flapped its wings, it could tear fine cracks in the Void Realm.

Level 5 Yao General, Golden Core Early Stage!

"Hiss—!"

The Golden Cicada let out a sharp hiss, its pressure sweeping across thousands of miles.

From then on, it occupied the southeast of the Myriad Demon Domain, dominated the Tianyi Water Lake, established the Six-Winged Demon Cave, and officially became a formidable warlord in the Myriad Demon Domain.

As for the struggle for that wisp of Fire Cloud Earth Heart Qi, it produced the biggest upset in the Myriad Demon Domain in the past fifty years.

Outside the fire-attributed blessed land, a group of fire-attributed Great Yao, such as the Sun-Devouring Dog Clan, the Scarlet Fire Demon Wolf, and the Fire-Scaled Python, were locked in an inseparable battle.

Just as all parties were deadlocked and had suffered heavy casualties.

A gigantic bear with a massive body, gray hair, and a senile appearance silently stepped into the sea of fire and participated in the struggle!

This old bear belonged to the Primitive Lineage, the most inconspicuous of the Five Bear Lineages.

He didn't even have a name, only a code name, "Old Gray," and he didn't even possess the surname Bear.

He had lived for a long time, his blood energy had long since decayed, and he hadn't even managed to get a position as a clan elder in the clan; usually, he was only fit to watch over the young bears in the clan as they cultivated.

No one expected that this old bear, with half his body already in the grave, would come to fight for the heaven and earth qi.

"Get lost! You old immortal!"

A Level 4 Peak Sun-Devouring Dog roared and bit at the old bear's neck.

The old bear sneered, letting the Sun-Devouring Dog bite him, but in his turbid eyes, a heart-stopping madness suddenly erupted.

He raised his arms, tightly hugging the Sun-Devouring Dog, and opened his broken fangs, biting down on the Sun-Devouring Dog's throat.

Tearing it apart alive!

The old bear was covered in blood, dragging his broken body step by step to the center of the fire-attributed blessed land...

A wave of barbaric aura rolled in, and his ferocious might was illustrious!

This sharp edge, hidden for three hundred years, finally erupted today, revealing its original ferocious appearance and exposing its true nature completely.

Under the siege of countless fire-attributed Great Yao, the old bear fought his way through more than a dozen Great Yao, and finally swallowed that wisp of Fire Cloud Earth Heart Qi in one gulp!

Boom!

The flames instantly engulfed the old bear, and all the Yao Beasts thought that this old bear would be burned to ashes by the Fire Earth Heart Flame.

After all, he was too old, his blood energy was withered, and he simply could not withstand the backlash of the heaven and earth qi.

But a miracle happened.

The old bear sat cross-legged in the sea of fire, letting the flames burn his flesh.

His bones were reshaped in the flames, his decayed blood energy was rejuvenated in the desperate situation, and then he began his Breakthrough to Golden Core!

Seeing this, the demons, according to the rules, could not interfere, so they all retreated to the periphery to witness this old bear's Breakthrough to Golden Core...

A full year later.

The Yao Beasts outside the fire-attributed blessed land had been replaced batch after batch, silently waiting for this old bear to fall, or to witness the birth of a newborn Yao General.

Until one day, a year later.

The sea of fire between heaven and earth rolled backward, strange phenomena appeared, and finally, it was swallowed into the belly by a giant mouth...

A terrifying giant bear, its body burning with crimson flames and its size ballooning to fifteen zhang, tore through the sea of fire between heaven and earth and stood up from the fire!

His originally gray hair had now turned into a flowing crimson red like magma, and every inch of his muscles contained explosive power.

Level 5 Yao General, Golden Core Early Stage!

Forcibly swallowing the fire-attributed qi and crossing the three barriers of the Golden Core, this unknown old bear, who was regarded as cannon fodder, had actually succeeded!

Perhaps his Bloodline had originally mutated to possess a trace of fire qi.

Or perhaps it was destiny, and he was naturally inclined toward fire.

But regardless of the situation, it was enough to shake the myriad demons.

On Zixiao Peak, Shi Jian looked at the giant crimson-flame bear roaring at the sky, a rare trace of emotion appearing in his eyes.

"An old steed in the stable still aspires to gallop a thousand miles."

"I didn't expect that within the Primitive Lineage, there was actually a fire-attributed exotic species hidden; is it a coincidence, or is it the continuation of an ancient Bloodline?"

Shi Jian stopped overthinking, took a step, and his figure instantly appeared above the fire-attributed blessed land.

The pressure of the Zishu Demon Lord descended, and all the Yao Beasts knelt down in unison.

The old bear looked at Shi Jian in mid-air, his eyes full of awe and fanaticism, and he knelt heavily on the ground, bowing his head in submission.

"What is your name?" Shi Jian said indifferently.

"Reporting to Old Ancestor... This little demon has no name; in the clan, everyone calls me Old Gray."

The old bear's voice was like a great bell, revealing a sense of simplicity.

Shi Jian nodded slightly, but didn't truly believe that this bear was honest: "To be able to swallow the heaven and earth qi with a decayed body and change your fate in a Heaven-Defying manner, you are worthy of the honor of this Myriad Demon Domain."

"From this day forward, I bestow upon you the title: Yan Pi!"

"I grant you permission to separate from the Primitive Lineage and create the sixth branch of the Bear Clan: the Yan Pi Lineage, adding another Legacy to our Bear Clan's various branches."

As soon as these words were spoken, the myriad demons were in an uproar.

The Five Bear Lineages had been passed down for hundreds of years and had never changed.

Today, because of an old bear's counterattack, a sixth branch was created!

"Yan Pi thanks the Old Ancestor for his heavenly grace!"

Yan Pi lowered his head and knelt, not rising for a long time. The Bear Clan flourished because of this, adding another Golden Core!

Fifty years passed, and the foundation of the Myriad Demon Domain increased drastically. Various Yao Generals emerged one after another, guarding the four directions of the Myriad Demon Domain, their demonic might illustrious.

Under White Crane's command, the two generals Yun Hui and Yu Hui stood side by side.

Under Shi Jian's seat, the four bears Shi Pan, Shi Yin, Lei Qiong, and Yan Pi suppressed the four directions, and the Bear Clan became powerful because of it.

On the periphery, there were also a group of fierce Yao Generals such as Kuang Dou, Bi Luo, Golden Crocodile, Wan Xiang, and the Six-Winged Golden Cicada, each occupying a territory.

The Golden Core combat power of the Myriad Demon Domain had already shown a trend of explosive growth.

On the Peak of Zixiao Peak.

Shi Jian stood with his hands behind his back, the strong wind blowing his purple and white robes, the thunder pattern on his brow appearing and disappearing, his gaze piercing through the heavy sea of clouds, looking toward the east once again.

"Fifty years have passed."

"Four Human Kingdoms, have you recovered from that loss of blood yet?"

"The old ghost Ziyang of the Shangqing Sect hasn't shown his face for fifty years. Has he truly fallen and kept it secret, or is he just deceiving people?"

"I must test them a little further."
