At the moment the bear's paw fell, someone blocked in front of her...
"Clang!!"
A harsh, grating sound, like metal striking steel, suddenly erupted!
Jin Bao'er froze for a second, then reacted swiftly, seizing the opportunity to activate her domain and pull her guardian beast into it!
After the entire world went dark for a second, the person and beast completely disengaged from the battlefield, with no restraints whatsoever!
The guardian beast was stunned for a moment, seemingly sensing the anomaly of this space! Its eyes held a trace of human-like astonishment as it looked at Jin Bao'er...
The next second, Jin Bao'er charged forward, wielding her soul-cutting sword, her figure as fast as lightning! The guardian beast, unafraid, raised its claw, preparing to strike her again. However, its swinging paw missed, and the woman had vanished...
The guardian beast was a little surprised, its gaze sweeping around. Its nose twitched, as if searching for the source of the bloody scent!
Jin Bao'er stood in the shadows, channeling her strength to suppress her injuries, contemplating how to deal with this behemoth. The power of the Great Dao was useless, and spiritual energy even more so. She could use the power of time-rule, but this was the edge of the universe, with no Great Dao rules present...
This meant she might be unable to use rule power! And as a judge, she could only pass judgment on sentient beings bound by karma. This guardian beast had none...
Her domain also had a limited duration; she couldn't trap it for too long...
So... what should she do?
At this moment, her mind raced. She watched as the guardian beast slowly approached. Jin Bao'er frowned, then a thought flashed through her mind, and she instantly shifted her position!
Within her domain, she could choose any angle to appear without any constraints!
However, the moment she materialized on the other side, the guardian beast spun around violently, leaping directly at her, its gaze locked onto her position!!
Jin Bao'er's heart jolted! Instinctively, she channeled all her strength, transforming it into countless ice shards that attacked the beast. The glittering ice blades, imbued with spiritual energy and the aura of Great Dao, instantly illuminated half of her domain...
The ice blades were sharp and incredibly fast! The guardian beast, its path blocked, could only impatiently swat them away. However, a change occurred at this very moment!
Even though the guardian beast was covered in barbs, the ice blades still managed to slice into its palm! It recoiled in pain, clutching its injured paw and using its other to fend off the attacks...
Jin Bao'er's eyes lit up at this!
This was it! Even if the opponent had immense defense, its indestructible body must have a weakness somewhere! Yes, there was no absolute strength in this world!
With this thought, she held her breath, temporarily suppressing her wounds with spiritual energy. She picked up her soul-cutting sword and charged forward again!
A startling faint pink light suddenly flared, immediately capturing the guardian beast's attention. It turned its head, its gaze fixed on Jin Bao'er. Seeing her about to attack recklessly again, it sneered with mockery and waved its paw, intending to send her flying once more! It even expected Jin Bao'er to feint again...
However, the small figure flew directly at it. The long sword, slashed diagonally, suddenly changed its angle and thrust forward!
The guardian beast, completely unprepared for this move, its eyes narrowed. In a panic, it tried to flatten its palm. Retreating was too late, but by flattening its paw, the sword would miss! Then it could slap her back.
Jin Bao'er, who saw through its intention, would not let this opportunity pass. The thrusting sword made a sharp turn, and with all her might, she pressed it down onto the thick bear paw!
"Roar!! Aowww!"
Instantly, the guardian beast roared towards the heavens, its cries of agony echoing beneath the ice!
Jin Bao'er did not hesitate. She fiercely pulled out her soul-cutting sword and stabbed at the same spot again, infused with her forcefully applied rule power! Transparent blood sprayed from its palm, carrying an unusual aura of power...
Without overthinking, her gaze fell upon the guardian beast's limp, thorny fur. She immediately realized something and raised her hand to sever its head!
Strike while the iron is hot!
However, as a streak of light flashed past, before the swung sword could land, a burst of pink light exploded! It instantly enveloped the guardian beast...
A giant pink clam shell, as if protecting its prey, swallowed the guardian beast whole. A faint glow emanated from its body, and wisps of white smoke seeped from its mouth, carrying an aura subtly similar to the guardian beast's blood...
Jin Bao'er's eyes brightened! Her stern expression quickly melted away...
"Pink Shell?!"
Indeed, the one who had suddenly appeared was the long-dormant Pink Shell. It had been a long time since it had exhausted its strength to revive Jin Bao'er and fallen into a deep slumber. She never expected it to awaken so suddenly.
And having missed the kill, the domain finally couldn't hold on any longer, reaching its limit! The surrounding darkness vanished in an instant...
At this moment, Pink Shell remained still, lying on the ground. Jin Bao'er did not disturb it, thinking perhaps it was related to the guardian beast. It must have needed energy to replenish its internal void. The guardian beast's blood was special, its power unlike anything she had ever encountered...
Wait!
Suddenly, she felt this aura was familiar! It seemed... she had sensed it on a divine envoy?
So... the guardian beast's power might be related to the divine race?
She fell silent!
It seemed she had stumbled upon something she shouldn't have known!
When Mother God chose a certain race as the divine race, Blue Star itself was unwilling, trying every means to surpass the divine race! They even wanted to forge the most powerful divine sword in the universe. But did the divine race truly know nothing of all this?
What if... what if this guardian beast was placed here by the divine race, specifically to kill that old man and thwart Blue Star's desire for the divine sword?
If that were the case... she had once again provoked the Divine Hall and the divine race??
A moment later, she shook her head... perhaps she was overthinking it? It was just a coincidence!
Then, she looked at Pink Shell and probed it with her divine sense. Inside, she saw only vast whiteness, nothing else.
She withdrew her divine sense, giving up on prying further. Pink Shell had always been like this, its consumption always of good things! Perhaps the guardian beast's energy was just what Pink Shell needed to compensate for its deficiencies?
This time, she waved her hand and recalled the large clam shell into her immortal mansion. As soon as she finished, she immediately looked at the iron ball. The dark, round object twisted and struggled amidst the shattered ice, occasionally hopping a little, but not daring to exert too much force for fear of shattering the ice layer...
In the end, it was Jin Bao'er who approached and scooped it up.
