Chapter 462: Chapter 279: Nether Void Demon Beast, Metamorphosis Again

They landed with immense weight, sending dust flying. One was an imposing, nine-foot-tall Human-shaped Puppet standing erect, accompanied by a crouching, leopard-like Puppet Beast.

A breath later, a second Thick Earth Violent Bear appeared. It was significantly smaller than the first—likely the female—but still stood fifteen or sixteen feet tall.

Judging by its powerful aura, it was also at the Tier Two Late Stage.

’Just as I feared—the worst-case scenario!’

"ROAR!"

Seeing the male’s perilous situation, the female Thick Earth Violent Bear roared in fury and charged toward the fray to rescue him.

"Your opponent is me,"

Mo Zhaoli declared coldly. Her figure flashed as she drew the female bear’s attention, sending her Spiritual Artifact slashing toward it.

She knew she was no match for the bear, so she had no intention of fighting it head-on. Her main goal was to stall.

Lin Changheng, Dual Tasking, simultaneously commanded his two Puppets to launch a fierce attack on the female bear as well.

"ROAR—!" Unable to break away, the female bear let out a long roar, as if trying to send a message, and was forced to endure the combined assault of one person and two Puppets.

...

The battlefield was now split in two.

Lin Changheng calmly faced the male Thick Earth Violent Bear alone. The beast was wounded in its ears, joints, and ribs, and had flown into a rage.

Meanwhile, he was merely Dual Tasking to control the two Puppets as offensive support for the other fight. His main focus remained on the male Demon Beast before him. He had also given a control-oriented Wood Element Talisman Plate to Mo Zhaoli for her use, ensuring she would be safe for a short while.

Facing the giant bear that charged like an out-of-control mountain, he flew backward to the edge of the Cold Pool. Then, instead of retreating further, he advanced. He activated his Water Shadow Stealth Technique, and the water vapor around him rapidly condensed, forming a light blue Water Shadow Clone that was nearly identical to his true self. Though its aura was faint, the distorted light made it realistic enough to be deceiving.

While the Water Shadow Clone distracted the male bear, his real body sidestepped like a phantom, covering several dozen feet in an instant to appear precisely beside the bear’s injured left flank.

The fur here was torn, the flesh peeled back—it was the very spot he had heavily wounded with a punch earlier!

"SWOOSH!"

A blade of light, condensed to the point of being nearly pitch-black, struck like a sigh from the Nine Netherworld. With no warning, no fluctuation, and not a single trace of killing intent, it silently and precisely pierced the male bear’s wounded flank once more.

A gash deep enough to reveal bone instantly appeared!

Then came the pain! Excruciating pain!

"ROAR!" The male Thick Earth Violent Bear’s eyes turned crimson. Its paws, wreathed in its Rock Shield, swept out with a vicious gale, determined to smash this annoying insect into a pulp!

But with a turn, Lin Changheng’s figure vanished once more.

The masterful application of the three Escape Techniques Lin Changheng had mastered was on full display. He used them at will, his movements unpredictable and untraceable.

As the male bear’s giant paws swiped at empty air, it grew both immensely furious and deeply helpless.

Its enemy was so slippery. It felt as though it had thrown a fully charged punch only to hit cotton—a frustration so great it felt like it would give itself internal injuries from sheer rage.

The Thick Earth Violent Bear was naturally irritable and quick to anger. Now, with the combined effects of pain, rage, frustration, and the poison from the Ten Thousand Poison Skull, it lost all sense of strategy. Its Demon Skills and attacks grew chaotic.

’Excellent!’

Lin Changheng coolly observed it all, like a detached spectator rather than a participant in the Magical Combat.

The bear’s defense was absurdly high. After several attempts, even he had found it difficult to break through, which was why he had resorted to repeatedly attacking its old wounds to widen the damage.

"ZING!"

The Cyan Gold Flying Sword once again struck from an uncanny angle, slicing into the mangled, bloody wound on the bear’s flank.

Lin Changheng moved as if taking a leisurely stroll, with most of his attacks finding their mark. Although the Thick Earth Violent Bear still had plenty of Energy, its disadvantage was becoming more and more apparent, and it had completely lost the initiative.

"PFFT!"

Seizing the opportunity, Lin Changheng flicked his finger, shooting out a thread of a Dark Gold Fire Line.

It vanished in a flash. There was no earth-shattering boom, only a faint sizzle, like a hot knife cutting through butter, as it pierced through the flank and into the flesh.

Under the control of the True Intent of his Fire Manipulation Divine Abilities, the Red Sky Profound Flame instantly invaded the male bear’s body through the wound!

Even more insidiously, Lin Changheng had secretly layered it with the Fire Poison Demon Technique he had obtained from the Poison Fire Bull. A wisp of extremely subtle Fire Poison, tenacious as a cancer clinging to bone, mixed in with the flame and burrowed into the Thick Earth Violent Bear’s internal organs!

"AWOOO—!!!"

The male bear let out its most agonizing, bloodcurdling howl of the entire battle. Its massive body suddenly went rigid before it began to twitch and thrash wildly on the ground!

It felt as if countless red-hot pokers were searing and piercing it from within. The sensation was especially acute in its liver, which sent waves of unbearable, searing pain and numbness through its body! The Fire Poison was corroding the core of its Demonic Power!

The earthy-yellow Spiritual Light on its body flickered violently, wavering in and out of existence. It could no longer maintain the thick Rock Shield, leaving its defenses wide open.

Finish it while it’s down!

How could Lin Changheng possibly miss such a perfect opportunity? He moved again, darting closer as he produced a Bone Sword. He immediately activated the Upper Grade Spiritual Artifact, which shot forth as a streak of ghastly white light—

"SHLIIICK!"

—and instantly pierced through the Thick Earth Violent Bear’s relatively fragile throat!

The male bear’s wail cut off abruptly. Its massive eyes bulged wide, filled with agony, indignation, and disbelief. Finally, as its Life Force rapidly faded, it crashed to the ground like a collapsing mountain, sending up a cloud of dust and debris.

’Whew! That was tough to kill!’

Only after confirming that the bear wasn’t feigning death did Lin Changheng retract the Red Sky Profound Flame from its corpse. He wouldn’t let it incinerate his prize; that would be a terrible waste.

However, instead of immediately collecting his spoils, Lin Changheng turned his gaze to the other battle.
