Seeing his attack failing to reach the enemy angered the Leader even more, and he slammed his paws on the ground multiple times.

The earth cracked, and the Leader activated his own magic spell.

Shadow Limbs!

Tens of hands made from darkness appeared, and they grabbed the broken pieces of earth.

Claude found himself being attacked by flying rocks, and he sent a wave of lightning to crush the rocks into pieces.

However, while he was distracted, the other peak Senior Mages also activated their own magic spells.

A fireball as large as a boulder, a wind tornado, a piercing shriek attack that targeted the soul, and even a huge palm made from vines, amongst other spells, flew at Claudes direction.

He was being besieged by the bandits, but he didnt show any fear. He stopped moving around to cast his innate magic.

The image of a Yin-Yang symbol covered the entire area while Claude activated his Yin-Yang Field.

The bandits immediately sensed their power growing weaker. Those at the peak of the Senior Rank found their cultivation realms dropping at the 8th cycle.

As for Claude, he suddenly broke through two small realms in succession. From the peak of of 6th cycle, he forcefully increases his realm to the 8th cycle, putting him on equal footing against the strongest mages of the Black Bear Bandits.

What kind of magic spell is this?

Damn it! I have never heard of a spell that could drop the enemys cultivation realm!

Look, that devil was just at the peak of the 6th cycle earlier, but his aura suddenly reached the peak of the 8th cycle!

How can he be this strong! We are not his match at all!

The bandits, even those with the highest cultivation realm, grew fearful as they watched their own power weakening while their enemys power growing stronger

This spell was simply a cheat! They never heard of such magic in the past!

With Claudes realm reaching the peak of the 8th cycle, his power exploded. The magic spells that could originally threaten him became no different than a fragile piece of paper in front of his power.

With one slash, he cut the large fireball in half, with another slash, the wind tornado was dispersed, and with yet another slash, the huge palms made from vines were scorched to death. Even the piercing shrieking sound that tried to attack Claudes soul wasnt able to affect him even in the slightest bit.

With a single step, he appeared in front of a peak Senior Mage bandit. With his eyes as cold as usual, he beheaded the bandit as if the latter were a weak chicken.

Damn it! The bandit leader cursed after seeing that even a peak Senior Mage died.

He controlled the tens of hands made from darkness that he conjured, they all flew in the air, attacking Claude.

However, Claude simply released a wave of lightning from his body, causing the hands to be dispersed as a result.

Fuck! I dont believe that your strength is endless! The bandit leader cursed once more.

He went on all fours while forming a magic circle that connected to his three bears.

Human-bear Avatar!

With a flash of dark light, the three bears and one human merge with each other into a three-headed titan bear more than fifteen meters in height.

Roaaarrre!! All three heads of the humongous bear roared at the same time. Its feet, larger than even a door moving at a fast speed despite its size, causing the ground to shake violently.

Even the weaker bandits that are still alive fell to the ground, unable to balance themselves for a moment

A dark ball of energy gathered at the three-headed bears paw, slamming it against Claude, who used his small size and quick speed to dodge.

The ball of energy failed to reach its target, only hitting the empty ground, causing an explosion that engulfed a twenty-meter radius.

With the first attack failing to hit the enemy, the three-headed bear roared once again. In the mouths of each head, mana gathered.

Claude doesnt plan on engaging with such a huge and powerful bear while there are still many surviving bandits. He planned to ignore it for now, focusing on killing the small fries, but before he could move, he found his speed bound by metal chains.

He was about to use his sword to break the chains when he felt something. Three mages at once were trying to attack his soul.

They thought that while Claude is currently in the 8th cycle, it was artificially done, and his soul should still be at the level of the 6th cycle.

With three peak Senior Mages attacking his soul at once, despite the fact that they were suppressed into the 8th cycle, they should still emerge victorious.

Even if Claudes soul was stronger than they imagined, it should at the very least delay him enough for their leader to deal the critical blow.

Unfortunately for them, they are mistaken.

Claudes elixir field has become a Realm Embryo. His soul was also stored inside his internal world.

To reach and attack his soul, one must first breach the membrane protecting his internal world.

Destroying that protective membrane was far easier said than done. After all, it was a realms defense against outside threats.

Aside from the fact that the Great Mages and below cannot survive the erosion of the void, which makes them unable to fly out of their own realm to go to another realm, there was another reason, which was the protective barrier of the realm.

The realm is protected by an invisible membrane. Entry is possible, but if someone were to attack the realm from the outside, they would face strong resistance from the realms barrier.

As for exiting the realm, unless one is a Noble Mage, ones own power wouldnt be enough. If you are not a Noble Mage, you can only take a Void Ship.

While the protective membrane of Claudes internal world is not as strong as the other realms yet, it surely is more than enough to protect his soul from the soul attack of three Senior Mages.

Thats impossible! The three exclaimed. Not to mention attack and harm Claudes soul, they didnt even cause even just a small crack to appear in Claudes soul defense.

Their attacks were completely ineffective!

As such, Claude continued his original plan, using his sword to shatter the chains binding his legs.

He was just in time to dodge the ray attack of the three-headed bear.

Aghh!!

Nooooo!!!

Save me!!

The bandits cried out. While Claude managed to jump and remain unharmed, the bandits in the range of the bears attack were not as lucky.

Their bodies evaporated, and they died without even leaving a single piece of their corpse.

The three dark rays even continued, devastating at least a hundred meters of straight line.

For a realm that can support a Great Mage, the Senior Mages have enough power to cause devastating damage to the land.

If this were a realm with a higher level of suppression, a Senior Mage might not even have an attack range of ten meters.

Claude was indifferent to the deaths of these bodies, and he moved. Killing the remaining small fries before finally turning his attention to the remaining peak Senior Mages bandits.

With Claude staring at them as if they were already dead, the bandits fear grew, and they all gathered their Leader. Only their Leader has the power to threaten Claude.

Hmph. Thats futile Claude snorted.

While it was a bit troublesome for him to deal with these bandits, that was only it, a bit troublesome.

Lightning Armor!

Claude controlled the bloody lightning his body was constantly emitting, and through the use of lightning, he formed a layer of armor that covered him from head to toe.

He now looks like some sort of Lightning God Warrior, and the bandits felt their skulls numbing.

He still has this kind of trump card? Just how powerful is this demon?

Claudes aura grew by another level, even the three-headed bear unconsciously took a step back due to sensing danger from Claude.

Unfortunately for them, Claude doesnt care about their fear. With the suffering that they brought to the Eclipsion Realms native, even their deaths are not enough to atone for their sons.

Noone mourns for the wicked and Claude has always been indifferent to the life of evil people.

In a flash, he arrived in front of one of the the three-headed bears heads. He was about to slash one head and severe it from the rest of its body when Claude sensed danger.

His pupils dilated and in his peripheral vision, he sae another bandit appearing.

This bandit was diffirent compared to all the other bandits, including the bandit leader and even the other peak Senior Mages,

This bandit was not just a Senior Mage. He is a powerful Great Mage!

The Grand Leader of the bandits finally exited his seclusion and is ready to face Claude.
