Bab 225: Mid-Stage Meridian Opening Realm

"Eternal Celestial Sword Art, First Form." A golden sword pierced the body of a massive bear-like beast as it let out a deafening roar.

The beast's dark, bloodshot eyes stared fiercely at its attacker, but its strength began to wane as its life force slowly drained away.

With a final, desperate swipe of its massive paw, it collapsed to the ground, defeated.

Chen Tian looked down at the lifeless body of the beast.

'That was the 20th beast I have killed since entering this forest, but none have been as formidable as this one.' Chen Tian wiped the sweat from his brow and sheathed his sword, feeling a mix of exhaustion and exhilaration.

The beast was at the 5th stage of the Meridian opening realm, which was the strongest he had encountered thus far.
