Chapter 2190 The Formidable Branch


    Austin and Brady were both in shock when they saw the beasts passing by from a distance. They all


    seemed to have something to do with Buddhism.


    "Fortunately, these terrifying legendary beasts didn''t attack us.


    Otherwise, we would have been in real danger by now.


    Well, we can''t stay here for a long time. We''d better leave this ce as soon as possible,"


    Austin said as he realized that unknowingly he had barged into a dangerous ce.


    No sooner than Austin voiced his apprehensions...


    "Howl!"


    An earth-shattering howl came from behind and Austin was hit by a torrent of terrible sound waves.


    As Austin turned around, he was surprised to see that


    a ck bear of more than ten meters high, was ferociously running towards him.


    "Damn it! Is this ck bear the one who guarded the mountains?"


    Austin was left aghast. He used bodily movement skills and was about to leave the ce immediately.


    The formidable aura of this ck bear was too intimidating. Austin knew he was no match for it.


    Even if he had the support from Brady and the demonic avatar, still all the three of them put together


    would not be able to survive even a single blow from the ck bear.


    Austin''s spiritual sense was strong enough for him to judge his own capacity as opposed to his


    opponent.


    "Boom!"


    The ck bear behind them took monstrous strides and was incredibly fast as it approached them.


    Austin felt that it was already toote to use any other skill. He immediately lowered his head and


    dropped on the ground, intending to hide under the ground.


    But he hit the solid ground with a...


    ''Thud!''


    As Austin''s body hit the ground hard, he realized that the ground was incredibly hard and imprable.


    There was no way he could go under the ground either.


    On the contrary, the impact with the ground left Austin bruised all over his body and in throbbing pain.


    "Damn it! It''s impossible to go underground in this mountain!?"


    Austin cried out in pain with gritted teeth.


    However, he was far from resting hisurels. Immediately, he used spatial power.


    However, to his utter dismay, there was no response from the surrounding space.


    To Austin''s surprise, the space around him was also not conducive to apply his skills. No matter how


    hard he tried, he couldn''t even open the space passageway and pass through the chaotic void.


    He could neither go underground nor use the skill of Space Teleportation.


    "Damn it! Why did I break into this damned ce? I must have been out of my mind at the time!


    Things seem to be getting out of hand this time!"


    Austin smiled bitterly staring at the threatening ck bear that was poised to be his nemesis this time.


    ''Whoosh!''


    Austin immediately unleashed his vital energy force and soared up into the sky.


    All of a sudden, a burst of bright Buddha light appeared, shrouded the vast sky.


    Austin felt that his body was hit by a strong force and he dropped on the ground with equal thrust. He


    closed his eyes tightly to get over the dizziness.


    "Oh! I can''t fly neither!"


    Austin was dumbfounded. For the first time in his life and his journey as a cultivator, he faced a


    situation where none of his skills came to his aid no matter how hard he tried.


    Every time his attempts failed, he regretted having broken into this strange mountain region.


    ''Howl!''


    The ck bear took big strides to catch up with Austin. Wherever it set its foot, the ground cracked,


    and dust billowed. All the nts in that ce were turned into dust.


    Austin had never felt so helpless ever. After all his skills failed, he had no other choice but to run away


    on the ground with his bodily movement skill.


    Even giving a thought of fighting the ck bear would be like inviting one''s own death.


    Besides, even Brady gave a shocking evaluation of the power of this ck bear. ording to him,


    even a cultivator at the Heavenly Grotto Realm who had an ultimate magical treasure in his hand might


    not be able to defeat it.


    After hearing Brady''s bleak evaluation, Austin had no intention of fighting with the ck bear anymore.


    All he just hoped for was that he could escape from it.


    "You bastard! You have been guarding the temple for a Buddhist Goddess! So you must be a Buddhist.


    The Buddha is always about showing mercy. Damn it! But look at you! You are so ruthless and hell-


    bent to chase after me. What do you want?"


    Austin cursed while he started running away.


    But as Austin ran to escape the horrendous ck bear, he felt a sharp sting in his mind. He felt down to


    be having to run away like this. Not very long ago, when he was chased by hundreds of thousands of


    people outside, he was able to handle it with much ease.


    Now, being chased by a ck bear for no reason, he found himself incapable ofbating it.


    That ck bear approached too fast, taking inhumanly long strides, making it difficult for Austin to


    escape.


    Austin was just on his foot as he was unable to use the skill of Space Teleportation, hide underground


    or even fly. Gradually, the ck bear sped ahead to catch up with him.


    After a while, Austin could even hear the breath of the ck bear following right behind him.


    After more than an hour of running, the ck bear was finally able to catch up with Austin.


    "Howl!"


    With a cold expression in its eyes, the ck bear clenched its teeth and hurled a p forward with a


    mighty force. The bear''s w was as big as a small mountain. And its force made an impact on the


    The mighty ws of the ck bear appeared so powerful that it could smash Austin to pieces.


    But just as Austin readied himself to counterattack, and was about to transfer Brady and the demonic


    avatar out of the ve Tower so that together they could take the challenge head-on, that ck bear


    suddenly let out a deep roar. Its face revealed an extremely terrified expression. Unexpectedly, it turned


    around all of a sudden, and ran away as fast as it could!


    It ran and ran with all its might because it realized it had crossed the border it shouldn''t have got close


    to!


    Just as the ck bear was about to run away, out of the blue, Austin''s hair stood on its end. In a bat of


    an eyelid, he made haste to move sideways, trying to dodge a killing intent that could scare him.


    "Swish!"


    A small ck dot rushed over from afar at an unprecedented speed, and Austin almost failed to


    capture it with his spiritual sense.


    Austin quickly took out the Pot of Chaos to shield himself from it.


    "Bang!"


    Arge sound could be heard.


    Sparks started flying in all directions. Austin''s body shook violently to absorb the shock as he was hit


    severely. The very next moment, he was stooping down and spitting blood.


    The force was way too strong for him to resist.


    Even though he took cover behind the Pot of Chaos, he could not save himselfpletely from the


    impact. He was badly bruised with a couple of bones cracked here and there.


    No matter what, the force was indeed a menacing one to be able to shake a strong and powerful


    cultivator like Austin. With all these years of practice, Austin had made his body extremely tough. So


    much so that even the body of a cultivator at the Heavenly Grotto Realm was no match for him.


    But in spite of that, he was badly hurt!


    The very next moment Austin rolled over and stood up quickly. The Pot of Chaos turned into a huge


    tripod and shielded him.


    The object that had hit him was a branch!


    Austin got a clear view of the things that attacked him. It was an emerald and crystal clear branch


    covered with dense green foliage.


    The branch was as thick as a human finger. It seemed to havee from the depths of the mountains


    and forests. It was bearing the scent of Buddha''sw power. Numerous pieces of thew power were


    flying around the branch.


    Wherever it went, it made the entire space to be on the verge of crumbling down. It had a devastating


    impact.


    As Austin braced himself to guard against the branch, he was surprised to find that it bypassed him and


    rushed ahead towards somewhere else.


    All of a sudden howls of anger could be heard.


    Austin was startled to hear the ck bear''s roar echoing through the forest.


    Austin turned around to find out what happened.


    He was left aghast by what he saw!


    More than ten small branches as thick as the fingers covered with green leaves, exuded a dreadful


    aura of Buddha''sw, were attacking the ck bear.


    The branches seemed to have been released from the distant mountains and covered a long distance.


    These branches took up a position each and formed an array.


    Each of them released bursts of Buddhist light and was surrounded by chanting of meditation, which


    made them look divine.


    The ck bear panicked to have been under the siege of more than ten branches.


    Needless to say, it was no match for the ten branches put together.


    "Howl!"


    Soon, the ck bear became furious. It started radiating a ck me and its eyes turned red.


    "It''s burning the blood essence!"


    Austin''s heart skipped a beat as he noticed thebating stance taken by the ck bear. It seemed to


    be in a do or die situation where the ck bear was ready to fight desperately.


    "Whoosh!"


    The very next moment...


    A thick branch, even thicker than an adult''s arm, covered with clusters of green leaves shined across


    mountains and hills at a distance.


    Slowly, an absolutely surreal scene unraveled in front of Austin''s eyes. The thick branch had several


    small monks sitting cross-legged on it, chanting Buddhist scriptures. The powerful sound reverberated


    all across the forest and even touched the souls.


    The monks were very small in size, measuring barely as much as a thumb.

    The terror on the face of the ck bear at the very sight of the monks was inexplicable. All of a sudden,


    it seemed that it gave up the idea of fighting and turned around to run away.


    Bang! The ck bear had an unmatched strength and speed. Yet, it fell short to save it from a dry


    branch that pierced through its humongous body. It let out a soul-wrenching cry as blood came oozing


    out profusely from its body.
