Xia Liu glanced up and quickly operated the Thunder God Body Heart Technique to its limit.

At the same time, the Five Elements Mantra also reached its peak.

Because of the thunder being brewed above the sky.

It was likely in an unprecedented state.

After Xia Liu made his preparations, a deafening roar echoed throughout the entire Thunder Region.

Rumble!!!

The massive sound spread as if the void had been torn open by a huge chasm.

Even if a Nascent Soul Stage expert were present, they would likely be shaken by this aura.

Too formidable!

Visibly above the firmament.

A lightning river filled with electric serpents slowly formed.

It was the power of Heavenly Thunder collected from dozens of miles around!

Divine sense could not penetrate it at all.

Because the aura of this Thunder River far exceeded the power that Xia Liu's divine sense could perceive.

"Come on!!"

Xia Liu roared to boost himself.

Then, the Thunder River descended from the sky at an extremely terrifying speed.

Wherever it passed, the void twisted, near to collapse.

"Ah!"

In an incomparably tragic scream, Xia Liu was engulfed by the Thunder River.

His life or death unknown.

Just as Xia Liu was undergoing the baptism of the Thunder River.

Outside the Thunder Valley.

Step Thunder Bear was being besieged by five Golden Core Stage cultivators.

Among them were Wang Yuan and three others.

The other two exuded an aura of immortality, their long beards making them appear more profound in Dao Dharma.

Of course, the cultivation of these two white-haired elders had reached Golden Pill Late Stage!

Two Golden Pill Late Stage cultivators, three Golden Pill Mid-Stage cultivators.

Under the combined assault.

Step Thunder Bear was retreating step by step.

There were countless wounds on its body.

The once fierce and terrifying aura had long vanished.

"Tsk tsk! You beast, let me, Sage Tianjue, collect your soul!"

Just as Sage Tianjue was about to execute a powerful move.

Step Thunder Bear suddenly opened its mouth wide, spewing a bolt of thunder from its mouth.

The Power of Thunderbolt shook Heaven and Earth.

Wang Yuan and the others retreated one after another.

A Step Thunder Bear comparable to the Golden Pill Late Stage was not something their Golden Pill Mid-Stage could resist.

"Daoist Fellow Fa Ming, assist me!"

Sage Tianjue, realizing the terrifying power of the thunder, couldn't help but call for his fellow Daoist.

Fa Ming had already noticed.

Without hesitation, he immediately summoned a magic artifact, a dharma wheel spinning furiously.

It clashed with the thunder!

Sage Tianjue waved his horsetail whisk lightly, mobilizing immeasurable spiritual power.

Instantly, the world fell silent, and an unmatched offensive surged toward Step Thunder Bear.

Bang!

Step Thunder Bear's body was too immense.

Moreover, the offensive from Sage Tianjue was extraordinarily sharp.

This strike it could not evade.

But its terrifying body allowed it only to retreat without injuring the inside.

"What a beast with such a dense and thick hide!"

Sage Tianjue couldn't help but silently praise.

It seemed that to kill Step Thunder Bear, high-level and sharp magic artifacts must be used.

Mere ordinary horsetail whisks could not shake it.

Subsequently, Sage Tianjue took out a Spirit Sword, which was cyan in color.

It was obtained from killing a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator in the wild. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

It was precisely because of this Foundation Establishment cultivator that he was pursued by a prominent family.

Helpless, he fled everywhere.

After entering the Extreme Cold Secret Realm, he discovered that his divine sense would be suppressed.

So he stayed here for years, happy to make a move if someone offered a reward.

However, he demanded a share of any treasures obtained.

Having been in the Extreme Cold Secret Realm for many years, Sage Tianjue had never discovered the Thunder Region.

A while ago, he was found by Wang Yuan, invited to act with a small amount of Spirit Stone.

But what Sage Tianjue valued was not the Spirit Stones.

It was the potential breakthrough opportunity within the Thunder Region!

He had been at the Golden Pill Late Stage for years.

If he could undergo Nascent Soul Formation.

Then the prominent family pursuing him would suffer!

The desire for advancement grew stronger, and Sage Tianjue employed his self-created Tianjue True Sword Technique.

Sword Energy Sweeping Realm, collaborating with Fa Ming to resist Step Thunder Bear.

This level of battle, Wang Yuan, Zhou Yu, and Han Luonan could not approach at all.

The three of them stayed back, awaiting an opportunity for a decisive strike.

Wang Yuan even had a crazy idea.

When Fa Ming and Sage Tianjue ran out of energy.

To ambush them together!

By then, the treasures within the valley would only be divided among the three of them.

He proposed this suggestion.

However, Zhou Yu and Han Luonan did not respond decisively.

They all preferred to take one step at a time.

Golden Pill Late Stage cultivators should not be underestimated when making a desperate counterattack.

That could lead to very dire consequences.

Even mutual destruction is possible.

This battle lasted for three days and nights.

The Step Thunder Bear was reaching its limit.

At this moment.

Its aura had already dwindled to a certain extent.

Nevertheless, Sage Tianjue and Fa Ming had also excessively depleted.

With the remaining power, it was unlikely they could kill Step Thunder Bear.

Thus, it was Wang Yuan and the others' turn to step in.

"Daoist Fellows, perhaps you could rest for a moment. Let us take it from here!"

Zhou Yu stepped forward, with a wave of his sleeve, he nullified the thunder that Step Thunder Bear had blasted out.

Fa Ming and Sage Tianjue wouldn't refuse.

Even if Zhou Yu hadn't suggested it, they would soon have proposed it themselves.

After retreating from the battle circle, the two immediately consumed pills and began to regulate their energy.

If Wang Yuan and the others couldn't kill Step Thunder Bear, they would have to work for a while longer.

Wang Yuan and the others had rested sufficiently.

Seeing that Step Thunder Bear had reached its limit.

The techniques they executed were overwhelmingly forceful.

Every strike was made with the intention to kill Step Thunder Bear.

Luckily, Step Thunder Bear's physical body was far from ordinary Golden Pill Late Stage.

In terms of sheer durability, its body was potentially at the Nascent Soul Stage realm.

At this stage, even if its strength had reached its limit and was entirely exhausted.

Golden Pill Mid-Stage cultivators would still have to exert effort to kill it.

"Daoist Fellow Wang, Daoist Fellow Han, use the combined attack!"

Zhou Yu, seeing the prolonged stalemate, thought of the joint attack not fully mastered by the three.

Perhaps, only by uniting the power of all three could they once and for all kill Step Thunder Bear.

"Understood!"

"Let's begin!"

Wang Yuan and Han Luonan had long awaited Zhou Yu's signal.

The three of them moved in an instant.

They encircled Step Thunder Bear in the center.

Their Seal Technique rose and fell in unison.

A rare, otherworldly aura ventured out eternally.

"Invincible Subdue Demon Formation!"

...

Hearing such a simple-minded name, Fa Ming and Sage Tianjue exchanged glances, noticing the amusement in each other's eyes.

Yet they dared not voice any mockery.

Because the Subdue Demon Formation gave them intense pressure.

Entering it with their current strength, breaking through would be exceedingly difficult.

Maybe, this Invincible Subdue Demon Formation could indeed kill Step Thunder Bear!

Roar!

Step Thunder Bear sensed the impending crisis, its roar echoing to the heavens.

Its furry hands ceaselessly pounded itself.

Planning to unleash its pinnacle power.

Otherwise, it would meet its end!

When Wang Yuan and the others exerted their combined force.

The Subdue Demon Formation brimmed with doomsday might.

Step Thunder Bear could no longer resist, ultimately being catapulted by the immense force, slamming into the barrier.

A mouthful of essence blood surged up, Step Thunder Bear vomited it all, its aura gradually dwindling to around the Foundation Establishment Stage.

"Haha! One more strike and we can take it down!"

Wang Yuan exclaimed enthusiastically.

"Oh? Is that so?"

Just as everyone was about to rejoice, an ordinary voice broke the silence.

Subsequently, a youth dressed in white appeared before Step Thunder Bear, his expression slowly shifting from calm to anger…
