262: Chapter 262 Emperor-level Ferocious Beast

"I still underestimated this core area..."

Even with just twenty percent of the white mist, the pressure it brought was actually dozens of times stronger than when he was in the dense fog earlier.

This kind of pressure naturally didn't affect Lin Bei much, but for Shi Yunmeng...

He turned his head to look, and sure enough, Shi Yunmeng's slender and graceful figure was swaying unsteadily.

Through her veil, one could vaguely see that her face was incomparably pale, and blood was gushing from her mouth as if it were worthless.

Damn it! Could it be that this woman really wasn't hiding her strength?

There was no time to overthink; Lin Bei wrapped his arms around her soft waist for the third time, his spiritual energy surging to help her resist the intense pressure.

After a few breaths, Shi Yunmeng's condition improved. She didn't pay any attention to her own injuries, but instead immediately looked at Lin Bei with a teasing expression.

"Hee hee... I knew you couldn't bear to let me die!"

Lin Bei rolled his eyes; he really couldn't understand how the woman in front of him had absolutely no air of being a mother.

He casually took out a Holy Herb, "Here, eat this, recover from your injuries, and hurry up and lead the way!"

"No need, no need!" Shi Yunmeng chuckled and shook her head, reaching out to grasp at the void.

A ball of incomparably pure white mist immediately drifted over and entered her body.

Her Aura immediately stabilized, and her pale complexion also began to turn delicate, rosy, and radiant at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Heh! That's interesting!"

Lin Bei had to admit that she really possessed a unique advantage here.

If her strength could reach the Peak of the Great Saint Realm, she might even pose a slight threat to him.

"Let's go! What are you daydreaming about?" Shi Yunmeng glanced at Lin Bei. At this moment, she had completely recovered, and her strength had even vaguely improved.

A sharp light flashed in Lin Bei's eyes as he scrutinized the woman in front of him from head to toe.

According to rumors from the Desolate Ancient Continent, when Shi Yunmeng disappeared, she was only at the Void Soaring Realm. In just over a decade, she had actually become a Great Saint. Could it be related to this Dream Sea?

Moreover, she was only at the Void Soaring Realm back then; how could she have possibly opened the passage to the Yinming Land?

This woman had too many secrets!

Hmm? Dream Sea! Dream Sea...

"Hey, hey, hey!" Just as the bold conjecture appeared in Lin Bei's mind, Shi Yunmeng's dissatisfied voice reached his ears.

"You... you guy, where are you looking?"

Lin Bei snapped out of it and realized that while he was lost in thought, his gaze had unconsciously fixed on her chest.

"Uh..." Even though he was thick-skinned enough, he felt a bit awkward at this moment.

"Giggle..." Watching his expression, Shi Yunmeng covered her mouth and let out a laugh like silver bells.

Then she leaned close to Lin Bei and whispered, "Since you were looking so intently, do you think it looks good?"

Damn! Another enchantress!

With the connection to Shi Hao, Lin Bei had no interest in flirting with her. He moved his feet and continued forward along the mist.

"My spiritual energy can only protect you for the time it takes an incense stick to burn. If you don't want to die, keep up!"

"Hmph! You have no romantic sense!" Shi Yunmeng stuck out her delicate tongue, but she didn't dare delay, trotting along behind him.

As they gradually deepened into the passage, the pressure became increasingly powerful. Before the time for an incense stick to burn had even passed, Shi Yunmeng's breathing began to quicken.

"It seems the previous information was inaccurate; I'm afraid even those at the Peak of the Great Saint Realm can't enter this core area!" Lin Bei thought to himself, his figure flickering as he appeared beside Shi Yunmeng.

This time, he didn't reach out with a lecherous hand to wrap around her waist, but instead placed his hand on her shoulder, once again channeling spiritual energy to help her resist the pressure.

Shi Yunmeng rolled her eyes at him, clearly very dissatisfied with this.

Lin Bei pursed his lips, pretended not to see it, and continued on his way.

Two hours later, he looked at the woman who was almost completely hanging on him, his face full of helplessness.

By this point, Shi Yunmeng could no longer withstand this terrifying pressure at all, and he had to channel spiritual energy to protect her at all times.

As a result, Shi Yunmeng had a legitimate excuse to hold onto Lin Bei's arm without letting go for even a moment.

What a sin...

Lin Bei wailed internally; such a great beauty was in such close contact with him, yet he couldn't have any thoughts!

"Huh? What is this? How can there be a passage in the mist?"

A voice suddenly came from the dense fog. Tense, Shi Yunmeng exerted more strength with her lotus-root-like arms, pressing tightly against Lin Bei.

Hmm? This scale, it doesn't compare to Qin Xiaobo, but it's about the same as Shangguan Yue...

In the end, Lin Bei couldn't help but make a comparison in his heart, then looked up towards the direction the voice came from.

Soon, the white mist surged, and a giant brown bear appeared before them.

"A Great Emperor?" Lin Bei looked at Shi Yunmeng, "I haven't heard of any Bear Clan among the Nine Emperor Clans?"

"The Nine Emperor Clans!" Before Shi Yunmeng could speak, these three words immediately made the giant bear go berserk, "You two are in cahoots with the damned Nine Emperor Clans!"

After roaring, a giant bear paw, carrying an unrivaled Aura, slapped toward the two people in the passage.

Lin Bei frowned slightly. If the passage were destroyed, the pressure would definitely surge, making it even harder for Shi Yunmeng to resist.

"Take this to hold on for a moment!" After a moment of thought, he pulled his arm out from the soft embrace and took out two pieces of immortal jade, placing them in Shi Yunmeng's hands.

Immediately after, he shot into the sky and punched toward the giant bear paw.

"Rumble..." Fist and paw collided, and violent spiritual energy surged.

If this were in the outside world, a clash of this level could turn a radius of a thousand miles into nothingness.

But here, it only pushed back the surrounding white mist by a few dozen zhang.

"Bang, bang, bang!" The giant brown bear retreated three steps, each step triggering a huge, thunderous explosion.

"You are a Great Emperor?!" The giant bear's eyes held confusion.

Great Emperors have a special kind of Aura; lower-Realm Cultivators might not feel it clearly, but fellow Great Emperors would naturally be able to perceive it clearly.

The young man in front of it clearly didn't have the Aura of a Great Emperor, yet he was absurdly strong!

Lin Bei's lips curled into an evil smile; he wasn't in a rush to continue attacking, "Judging by what you said, you aren't a Great Emperor from the Nine Emperor Clans?"

"Hmph!" The giant bear snorted nasally, "Do you think that in the Yinming Land, only the Nine Emperor Clans have Great Emperors?"

"Uh..." Lin Bei was slightly embarrassed; he had indeed thought that before.

Seeing his ignorant appearance, the giant bear sneered.

"I might as well tell you, right now in this Dream Sea, there are at least twenty Great Emperors!"

"What?" Lin Bei was stunned; were Great Emperors starting to become as common as cabbages?

However, in the giant bear's eyes, his reaction clearly showed he didn't believe what it said, so it immediately began to explain.

"The Nine Emperor Clans have a total of twelve Great Emperors, all of whom have come here, plus the six Emperor-Level Vicious Beasts that originally lived in the Dream Sea!"

"And I even encountered a Great Emperor expert who doesn't belong to the Nine Emperor Clans before, that makes nineteen. And now, another hypocritical guy like you who likes to hide his strength has appeared!"

"Six Emperor-Level Vicious Beasts?" Lin Bei asked with confusion, "Are you one of them?"

"What? Don't I look like one?" The giant bear radiated a violent Aura.

"Not really..." Lin Bei shook his head, "I don't think you look vicious at all?"

"Raaaah!" The giant bear roared to the sky, its arms clenched into fists, beating its own chest repeatedly.

"You are insulting me, Xiong Damao! You really are as detestable as those Great Emperors from the Nine Emperor Clans!"
