Zhang Chen was very fortunate that he had elevated his Invisibility Technique to the eighth rank, otherwise, how could he possibly be watching from the sidelines now.
Looking at the Divine Spirit radiating vast Divine Power and holding a Thunder and Lightning Whip, a thought crossed Zhang Chen's mind: is it the immortals who are stronger, or the gods?
Although the Divine Spirit before him was not officially appointed by the Celestial Court, it still gathered faith and was no different from an official appointment.
The so-called official appointment by the Celestial Court is merely a credential; the main thing is the Power of Incense. The official appointment means recognition from the Celestial Court, but it does not mean that those not recognized by the Celestial Court are weak.
The Celestial Court, like the court, is just an institution! It doesn't mean that those who haven't served as officials are less learned than those who have.
For example, the Demon Ancestor, who is an unacknowledged existence to the Celestial Court, but can you say the Demon Ancestor is not powerful?
Whether it is the immortals or the gods who are stronger, they are not people that Zhang Chen could provoke at this moment.
It's known that an eighth-rank is called a Yin Spirit, while a ninth-rank Yang God is completely Pure Yang, which in novels of the previous world could also be called a Pure Yang True Immortal.
"I can't afford to provoke them, can't afford it!" Zhang Chen shrank his neck back, not daring to intervene at this moment.
In just a few breaths, the Bear Demon King's hair was burned off, leaving his skin gleaming with Golden Light, with strands of Mysterious Power converging within his body.
The Thunder and Fire merely burned off his hair without harming him in the slightest.
Seeing this, Zhang Chen was astounded: "This Bear Demon King is truly Steel Bones; though struck by a jade brick, it merely raised a bump. The Thunder and Fire Power could melt even steel somewhat, yet it couldn't harm him at all. His skin is thick and his flesh tough; there are simply no weaknesses!"
Among all the Superpower Divine Techniques in the world, the most troublesome are the Cause and Effect Divine Techniques; these involve ethereal rules and are simply unreasonable. Secondly, there is the Steel Bones Undestructible True Body, truly vexing with its Vajra Unbreakable traits.
The Divine Spirit wielding the Thunder and Lightning Whip was surprised by this scene, but only slightly so. The next moment, the long whip in his hand, sparkling with lightning, swept through the void to strike the Bear Demon King again.
That whip, like a Spiritual Snake, twisted and turned in the void. The Bear Demon King tried to block with his bear paw but had no chance to touch the whip. The whip kept lashing through the void onto the Bear Demon King's body, making him grimace in pain, leaving singed marks that vanished in a breath under his surging Qi Blood, leaving no trace of injury on the Bear Demon King.
"Ah~ you damned ant, you actually dared to burn your ancestor's hair, you truly deserve to die! If I catch you, this glowing Two-legged Beast, I will surely hang you up like a lantern." The voice of the Bear Demon King was full of rage, but facing the agile Divine Being, he was helpless, with nothing but roaring left.
The Divine Being's brows furrowed: "This big bear's skin is thick and his flesh is tough. Though my Thunder Whip can hold him back, it cannot harm him fundamentally."
"Let me lend you a hand!" Another Divine Being stepped forward, and the next moment spat out a flame, which transformed into a light shield and covered the big bear.
The fire-red shield enveloped the big bear, and the blazing flames swirled across the sky, seemingly about to burn him alive to ashes.
"Ants!" Unfazed by the fire shield, the Bear Demon King extended a pair of claws to tear at it, actually making it sway as if it could rip apart at any moment.
"Heh!" The Divine Being holding the Thunder Whip swept the whip through the void, directly entangling one of the Bear Demon King's paws, pulling it.
The Bear Demon King's one paw got entangled by the Thunder Whip, while the other tried to tear the shield, naturally weakening his power, making it difficult to rip the shield apart.
The flame within the shield was a green fire, appearing very bizarre; its effect unknown, but it caused the big bear to grimace and wail in pain.
Seeing he couldn't tear the shield apart, he grabbed the Thunder Whip coiling his arm with a paw, and the whip shattered into nothingness in the air.
Freed, the big bear's paws glowed with a yellow earthy luster, and he violently tore at the flame shield, ripping a hole. The big bear tried to step out of it.
"Such a ferocious beast, it mustn't be allowed to escape. Only by the Fire of Life can it be burned to death." A Divine Spirit spoke: "Bind his limbs and burn his lifespan."
Another Divine Spirit took action, a red thread materializing in his hand, directly strangling the big bear's neck.
At that moment, several Divine Spirits acted upon seeing this scene. The Divine Spirit holding the Thunder Whip re-coalesced it and grasped the Bear Demon King's left paw. Another Divine Spirit sent flying steel rings that ensnared the Bear Demon King's right paw.
Then his legs and stomach were captured, fixed within the green flame shield, constantly struggling and roaring.
"This beast is truly ferocious, actually needing six Divine Beings to restrain it," Xie Lingyun observed the still fervently struggling big bear, sadness filling her eyes; not for the big bear, but for the overwhelming power of the Divine Spirits, far surpassing the Divine Soul Techniques. The era belonging to the Yin Spirit Cultivators had undeniably waned.
The might of the new techniques was now on blatant display!
"Roar~"
Just then, the big bear let out a roar, his form suddenly shrinking to ten meters, seizing the opportunity to break free from his bonds.
