Originally sacred and dazzling, three of the eight wings had lost their luster and drooped weakly, while the other five were no longer as brilliant and eye-catching as before. The five bloodstains on them were even more shocking.
Qian Mo looked at his wings with heartache, gritting his teeth and saying, "Bastard! Don't you know, you can't touch a tiger's butt, and you can't injure an angel's wings!"
"A Mo, stop pretending to be strong, let's get out of here first!" Gu Yuena anxiously urged from the side.
However, Qian Mo shook his head, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said in a deep voice, "I'm injured, but its condition is not optimistic either!"
Hearing this, Gu Yuena observed carefully and only then discovered that the cross sword mark on the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear's chest was constantly expanding. This was the purifying ability within Qian Mo's spirit power continuously taking effect, purifying the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear's flesh and spirit power.
The originally shiny dark gold fur was now becoming increasingly dull. After the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear took Qian Mo's Holy Cross Slash, the wound could not heal, and its condition would only decline faster and faster.
With such injuries, placed on other Spirit Beasts, it would have probably already fallen to the ground. But the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear could endure the injuries, go berserk, and erupt with such a powerful offensive, hitting Qian Mo to almost the same starting line with one move. It could only be said that it was indeed a super Spirit Beast capable of tearing apart dragons with its bare hands.
At this moment, the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear roared and charged towards Qian Mo again, displaying a speed inconsistent with its massive size. It leaped high, and a Dark Golden Terror Claw struck out. A Dark Golden Terror Claw light projection over five meters long descended from the Sky, directly striking down on Qian Mo's head.
Qian Mo pushed Gu Yuena away, instantly switching to the Divinity Mask. The Demon Monarch of Bewitching Eyes, a dark green face mask combined from the Demon Eye Magic Tree and Spirit Eyes, appeared on his face.
Qian Mo slapped the ground, and countless dark green vines broke out of the ground from all directions, swarming up and wrapping the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear like a zongzi.
"Roar!"
The Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear roared angrily, and just as it was about to exert force to break free from the restraints, a mental impact far stronger than before was unleashed.
A circle of pure white light followed closely behind, enveloping the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear. It was the Light of Weakness from the Spirit Eyes.
This series of successful controls greatly delayed the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear's movements. Qian Mo seized this opportunity to roll away and escape the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear's attack range.
Qian Mo knelt on the ground, panting heavily, and waved his hand, scattering a vibrant emerald green light.
Within this light, a puppet with a gentle emerald green face mask and a figure resembling a woman appeared.
It was the puppet formed by the Emerald Angel face mask, drawn together with the Emerald Swan and Prayer Angel Spirits.
The Emerald Angel spread its wings behind it, clasped its hands in front of its chest, and prayed devoutly. Ethereal and pleasant singing sounded in Qian Mo's ears, and an emerald green halo enveloped Qian Mo.
Qian Mo immediately felt warm all over. A warm current surged into his limbs and bones. The halo was like a mother's gentle hand caressing his injuries, and the injuries on his body began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.
I have sustain, kid!
"Roar!"
Facing the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear's renewed attack, Qian Mo did not choose to confront it head-on. He switched to the Taibai Sword Immortal face mask, stepped on the Changgeng Sword, and used his ability to control the metal element to manipulate the Changgeng Sword, carrying him to dodge the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear's attack.
It is well known that after a boss's health drops to a certain limit, the boss will enter a berserk state, and after the berserk state ends, the boss will fall into a weakened state. Qian Mo was waiting for this weakened opportunity.
"Rumble!"
At this moment, within the Primary Spirit Ascension Platform, one towering giant tree after another collapsed with a crash.
Qian Mo darted back and forth in the forest, stepping on the Changgeng Sword, moving nimbly through the trees.
Behind him, the massive body of the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear crashed through the forest like a bulldozer, leaving nothing but devastation in its wake.
But visibly, the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear's panting grew heavier, its movements became slower, its steps heavier, and its entire body's fur was almost dyed red by the flowing blood.
Slowly, the blood red in the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear's eyes gradually began to recede.
Qian Mo braked sharply and stopped in place. The Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear immediately rushed towards him without hesitation, unleashing a huge dark gold claw light with all its might.
Qian Mo calmly raised his hand and pointed. A puppet with a bare upper body, a Xuanwu tattoo, and a brown face mask with blue stripes, holding a giant shield, blocked the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear's path.
It was the face mask drawn based on the Xuanming Turtle, the Profound Tortoise Warder!
The Profound Tortoise Warder split and disassembled the Xuanwu Shield into multiple shields, overlapping to block the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear's sharp claws.
"Roar!"
The Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear roared and exerted force again. The Xuanwu Shield formation instantly shattered under the Dark Golden Terror Claw, and most of the shields were sent flying.
But after the shield formation shattered, a ten-meter long gilded giant sword was seen piercing through the shattered shields, rapidly enlarging in front of the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear's eyes. The sword then followed the cross sword wound on its chest and plunged into the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear's body.
The Profound Tortoise Warder's role was not to block the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear, but to force out the weakened Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear's last bit of strength, and also to conceal Qian Mo's action of controlling the star metal to combine the giant sword.
Qian Mo performed an aerial back kick, kicking the hilt of the giant sword. The gilded giant sword directly pierced through the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear's body.
The heavy force on the gilded giant sword carried the powerless Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear backward continuously.
Qian Mo switched back to the Eight-Winged Seraph Martial Soul again. The gilded giant sword, losing the support of spirit power, directly exploded inside the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear's body. Countless pieces of metal crashed around inside the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear's body, shattering its bones and destroying its meridians. Even if the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear had stronger vitality, it could not withstand such torment.
The Holy Cross Sword cleanly inserted into the back of the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear's neck, beheading it with one strike.
Finally, the king who dominated the Spirit Ascension Platform, the massive body of the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear, slowly fell in a tremor, kicking up a cloud of dust.
Strangely, its body did not have spiritual energy gushing out like other Spirit Beasts. Instead, the corpse turned into dots of dark gold light and began to show signs of disintegration.
Finally, only a piece of dark gold right palm bone was left on the ground. It was an external Spirit Bone, the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear's right palm bone.
Although the Spirit Ascension Platform is divided into Primary, Intermediate, and Advanced, all Spirit Ascension Platforms are actually a single entity, and this entity is divided and entered through different methods.
To separate them and make it difficult for Spirit Masters to enter higher-level Spirit Ascension Platforms from lower-level ones, there must be a force responsible for monitoring and guarding. Within the World of the Spirit Ascension Platform, only particularly powerful Spirit Beasts are responsible for guarding, and they are also called Guardians.
This Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear was the Guardian of the Primary Spirit Ascension Platform.
Because these Spirit Ascension Platform Guardians need to be stronger in terms of their own strength, the energy source they used when they were created was not as simple as the original Spirit Beast's spiritual energy, but used Spirit Bones.
Therefore, when a sufficiently powerful Spirit Master kills a Guardian, a Spirit Bone will be dropped as a reward.
