Archean Eon Art Chapter 55

Chapter 55: Black Bear Demon Commander

The massacre by saber beams left many demons astounded.

“All of you, get lost.” The black bear demon commander stared coldly at the puny human. Then, he let out a guttural roar. The demons around him were so frightened they hurriedly ran far away. They knew how terrifying their commander was. If a battle occurred, those around him might be implicated. Such implications only had one outcome—death.

When he saw demons running away from the black bear demon commander, Meng Chuan immediately became more cautious. Despite his cautiousness, he still charged at the black bear demon commander at maximum speed.

Anybody who wasn't a Godfiend or demon monarch… None could frighten him!

The black bear demon commander stood still and coldly glared at Meng Chuan. When Meng Chuan was 100-feet away from him, the black bear demon commander suddenly roared.

Growl—

Like thunder, the sound waves produced by the roar blasted forward in a fan-shaped manner. The surrounding houses trembled from the sound wave vibrations and collapsed.

Meng Chuan was shocked by the roar, but he hurriedly sealed his ears with Quintessential Essence. But, even though he had sealed his ears, his entire body turned numb from vibrations. He felt a little dizzy, and his nose started to bleed uncontrollably.

Boom! After roaring, the black bear demon commander took a step forward. It was as though a mountain was charging towards Meng Chuan. His giant foot stomped down on Meng Chuan.

Despite bearing the brunt of the vibrations, Meng Chuan was still able to maintain clarity of his mind. Within his hundred-foot sensory domain, he could sense the black bear commander clearly.

With a whoosh, he dodged the giant foot and slashed at the bear demon's head. However, Meng Chuan felt his vision turn dark. A giant bear paw brought whistling black wind as it flew towards Meng Chuan.

Not good. Meng Chuan rapidly circulated his Quintessential Essence. Lightning faintly erupted from his body, and he switched directions in midair, dodging to the side. The giant bear's paw and the whistling black wind swept past him in a harrowing manner.

“Die!” The black bear demon commander roared as he struck out with his paws. The terrifying attack stirred the Heaven and Earth powers.

Black winds howled around Meng Chuan. Using his movement technique amidst the black wind was exhausting.

A pair of giant bear paws struck out at high speed. The strength of the paw strike was simply inconceivable. Meng Chuan's Godfiend foundation was more robust than peers in his realm, but his strength was still inferior to the black bear demon commander's.

Yan Jin is good at frontal assaults. His strength is much greater than mine. Perhaps he can withstand the black bear demon commander's strike. If I'm not using the Power of the Soul, I'll lose the ability to resist if I get struck, even if I don't die.

However, he wasn't flustered. After all, his speed was insane!

Whoosh—

Lightning curled around Meng Chuan's body. With two blinding flashes, he arrived behind the black bear demon commander.

“Kill!” Meng Chuan attacked the black bear demon commander from behind.

The black bear demon commander immediately turned around and waved his giant bear paws.

Meng Chuan's lightning-bright figure flashed repeatedly within the black wind generated by the bear demon.

This human is really fast. The black bear demon commander was astonished. In terms of movement techniques, he was far inferior to Meng Chuan. However, his paws had long been trained to be agile and swift. He could produce black wind to suppress his surrounding enemies. He was originally very confident, but he was slightly flustered now. His paws couldn't touch the human.

Pfft.

The black bear demon commander's paw missed once again. Meng Chuan seized the opportunity and slashed at the black bear demon commander.

Chi! Chi! Chi! Meng Chuan's expression changed.

The black bear demon commander's extremely tough fur was five feet long. By the time Meng Chuan's saber beams sliced through the fur and bear hide, the attacks lacked power. The thick skin membrane beneath the bear hide blocked the attacks easily.

This strike failed to see blood.

Too thick. Its fur is five feet long, and the bear hide is three feet thick… I can't damage it at all. Meng Chuan immediately understood his limitations.

This black bear demon commander had immense strength, a strong defense, and a pair of paws containing terrifying might. It even generated strong gusts of wind.

Growl—

After the Meng Chuan's failed attack, the demon commander's eyes flashed with a cold glint. With the close distance between the two, the bear demon immediately roared.

Meng Chuan immediately sensed his opponent's actions using his hundred-foot domain.

Roar— At the close distance, the roar was like a thunderclap, and the sonic waves inundated him.

Boom!

With a thought, Meng Chuan infused the Power of the Soul into his whole body.

Meng Chuan could only hear his beating heart, his breathing, and rushing blood. Every fiber, every bone, and every tendon in his body had Quintessential Essence flowing through them via the meridians. His control over his body soared.

Meng Chuan wasn't very willing to imbue his body with the Power of the Soul because it would exhaust the Power of the Soul reserves greatly. He could only do this five times! After using it five times, he would take half a day to recover. The entire Eastcalm Prefecture City was currently a battlefield. He had to conserve his Power of the Soul as much as he could to prevent any accidents from occurring.

If he were in a hopeless situation, he could lose his life without the Power of the Soul.

However, the saber strike he delivered earlier showed how ridiculously tough the bear demon's hide was. He was unable to injure it. He had to use the Power of the Soul to elevate his strength to kill his opponent. As long as he could kill the black bear demon commander, the fight Mirror Lake Dao Academy would face would be much easier.

Swoosh.

His Quintessential Essence fused with his body perfectly. The huge leap in strength and speed multiplied his combat power several-fold. His speed had reached a whole new level. The lightning curling around his body increased in density by ten times. It was as though he had become a lightning god.

Swoosh.

He stepped on the bear demon's body, leaving behind an afterimage. Following that, he delivered a slash!

Boom!

The saber beam condensed like water. It was a hundred feet long, and it swept past the black bear demon's neck.

It sliced through the thick fur, bear hide, membrane, muscles…

It completely sliced through the bear.

When speed reached a certain level, a saber beam would become extremely sharp. The sharpness exceeded what the black bear demon commander's body could handle. The body that the bear demon was proud of could not withstand such a strike.

The black bear demon head—which was much larger than a house—flew up into the air. The black bear demon commander's eyes were still filled with disbelief. He couldn't understand why the other party could suddenly kill him with a single strike despite having the upper hand previously. The strike was so fast that he was unable to withstand or block it. Its sharpness was not something his body could defend against.

The black bear demon commander was dead.

Time to leave. Meng Chuan didn't stop as lightning curled around his body unceasingly. He transformed into a bolt of lightning and rushed towards Blazing Sun Dao Academy.

Nearby demons were watching from afar. They had been filled with confidence in their commander.

When they saw Meng Chuan fail to injure the commander with his first strike, many demons laughed.

“This human is truly laughable.”

“Commander has the Black Mountain demon monarch bloodline. His body is like a mountain. In the entire Nine Convocation fief, Commander's body is the strongest beneath demon monarchs.”

“His blade is scratching an itch for Commander.”

“He has been hit by Commander's roar at such close distance. He's dead.”

The demons watched with smiles.

But following that, the figure enveloped by lightning produced a terrifying strike! The aqueous saber beam beheaded the bear demon, causing all the demons to fall silent.

The black bear demon commander was dead? Killed by a single slash?

As they watched the figure rapidly depart, no demons attempted to stop him! They were completely terrified.

Ordinary demons would be sliced apart by saber beams. If a lieutenant commander went over? Even the commander had been killed with one strike, so wouldn't it be tempting fate if a lieutenant commander went over?

“The commander is dead. What should we do?” The remaining eight lieutenant commanders hesitated.

Immediately, a snake demon commander said, “There are always casualties when attacking a human city. Since the commander is dead, we have to continue heading for our destination. Attack Mirror Lake Dao Academy.”

“A human Dao Academy is the most heavily guarded. All sides will provide reinforcements. With the Commander around, we could invade it, but it's not ideal to go there now. We should go somewhere else. We can still kill humans this way.”

“To the Dao Academy, that is our most important goal.”

“What's the point if we can't kill them? Let's kill the other humans in the city!” The eight commanders began to squabble.

The demons followed the law of the jungle. None of the eight commanders could completely restrain their peers.

Hence, this demon army began to disperse. Some continued advancing and prepared to head to Mirror Lake Dao Academy to see if any other demon armies were attacking it. If there were, they could then join in. Some had completely given up on attacking Mirror Lake Dao Academy and began to hunt down the humans in Eastcalm Prefecture.

I've done all I can. Without a commander's threat, Mirror Lake Dao Academy should be able to hold on. Meng Chuan turned into a blur as he rushed forward. I have to find Qiyue right now.

He had already wasted time due to his skirmish. He couldn't afford to waste any more time.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

He hurried at full speed.
