第三千九百一十四章 黑熊王认输

The giant ape, now towering even more after clenching its fists against its chest, roared loudly. Two massive fists swung up and down with a deafening roar, sending waves of gray force surging out.

These forces formed vortexes, releasing immense power and法则. In an instant, the black bear king was engulfed by this chaos.

A series of loud thuds filled the air, interspersed with the bear’s agonized howls.

Lin Xuan could now declare himself the victor without any doubt.

The scene struck the ordinary cultivators as unremarkable, but the old, powerful figures present had grim expressions. They hadn’t expected Lin Xuan to rely solely on his manifestation and defeat the black bear king.

Such power was truly terrifying; he was undoubtedly a peerless figure in the Three Realms, perhaps even on par with Master Naelong.

Many were already considering their retreat. While the position of Alliance Lord was tempting, the cost of antagonizing such a powerful entity seemed too high.

"Your Majesty, have you made your decision?"

The elegantly dressed woman whispered.

"I know what’s in my heart; why ask me further?"

Eastern Prosperity Celestial Emperor's face showed a hint of resignation as he spoke.

"It is a pity. I had thought Your Majesty could claim this position. But this person has interfered, and now we have Lin."

"Your Highness is correct. Since we cannot defeat him, it’s the wisest choice to ally with him. After all, the域外天魔 are formidable; without banding together, Eastern Prosperity couldn’t remain a paradise," the woman continued, her voice filled with comfort.

"Your Majesty need not be disheartened. While failing as Alliance Lord is regrettable, misfortunes may turn into blessings. Being an Alliance Lord isn't always beneficial—great power attracts great enemies."

Eastern Prosperity Celestial Emperor chuckled, his expression more animated than before.

In contrast, the Black Phoenix妖女’s face was dark and conflicted, her expression shifting constantly as she struggled with a decision.

Although this woman was indeed the化身 of a celestial phoenix, her cultivation in qi gathering was still lacking.

Meanwhile, Wan Xiao Immortal Lord remained calm, his expression giving no hint of his inner thoughts.

This old monster had been famous since ancient times; his strength and reputation rivaled those of scattered immortals and demon kings. His audacity to attempt the飞升劫 was understandable given such a background.

Though he failed, he wasn’t struck down by lightning or fire.

Such experiences were unique in the Three Realms, making him unimpressed by this spectacle.

Boom!

A loud noise echoed as a colorful aura enveloped the space before them. A gray hurricane appeared and transformed into a massive vortex.

The hurricane was over ten zhang wide, bottomless, with thunderous sounds inside. A black object was thrown out, landing heavily; had it not been for the special禁制 protecting the square, a large crater would have formed.

The wounded black bear king lay before them, having returned to his normal size. His body bore nearly a hundred wounds of varying depths, many deep enough to see bone. While not on the brink of death, his condition was dire indeed.

Boom!

Another loud noise as the golden manifestation appeared.

Its surface was less radiant but still formidable. Nine heads with varied expressions and eighteen arms fully restored, each hand extended, and the eighteen weapons—sword, spear, halberd—flew back.

A flurry of movements followed, ready to unleash their full power.

"Friend, stop! I yield!"

The black bear king, on his last breath, admitted defeat.

Lin Xuan’s cold voice echoed: "You admit defeat, but why should I spare you?"

"You said earlier that you would extract my soul and refine it to avenge your grandson's death."

"That is true," the black bear king stammered.

"I was too hasty. Please forgive me, and let bygones be bygones. As for the revenge of your grandson, with your power, I dare not seek such humiliation. From now on, this matter will be settled. At our level, fighting over a mere descendant is unworthy."

He added, fearing Lin Xuan might still insist on his death: "In truth, we have no grudge between us. With the域外天魔 so powerful, you wouldn’t really do something that would hurt both sides, would you?"

Lin Xuan remained silent, amused.

The black bear king’s face was a picture of displeasure but had to bow to reality.

"Tell me what it takes for you to spare me," he said with a bitter smile.

"It's simple. Sign a soul oath with me," Lin Xuan replied coolly, his lips curled in satisfaction. (To be continued...)
