Chapter 301: Killing the Golden-Eyed Lion Sovereign
Chapter 301: Killing the Golden-Eyed Lion Sovereign
"Hmm."
Shen Yi lightly nodded his chin.
Seeing this, Tang Yuan's confidence soared, and he exerted all his strength to resist the chains binding him.
The Golden-Eyed Lion Sovereign's face twisted with cruelty, and the powerful muscles on its demonic body slowly tensed. The physical strength of a Demon Sovereign's body could rival the heavenly qi manipulated by a Soul Transformation Cultivator, revealing just how terrifying it was.
It was about to strike, and at that very moment, a hoarse voice came from behind.
"Don't be fooled by him; the one who broke the formation has nothing to do with him."
Upon hearing this, the Golden-Eyed Lion Sovereign finally noticed the small, suspicious figure below.
"She's fighting me for control of the formation."
The tattered old man's ten fingers moved swiftly, and his eyes were filled with deathly energy, but his tone indicated that he had clearly sensed something.
"Aren't you the strongest Array Master in Radiant Light Cave? Can't you even beat a greenhorn?"
The Golden-Eyed Lion Sovereign disdainfully withdrew its gaze.
Its robust, several-zhang-tall body disappeared from its original spot in an instant.
In the blink of an eye, the overwhelming demonic aura enveloped the entire mountain!
A Qing's running figure froze in place, not because of fear or any other psychological factor, but simply because under the overwhelming difference in cultivation realms, she couldn't even move a single hair.
"Hey!"
Without hesitation, Xu Wanwen rushed over, and the Soul Recovery Formation on her body rapidly activated.
The sword light surged like a raging river, piercing straight towards the void above A Qing.
She had predicted the Lion Sovereign's move, and as the sword light rushed towards her, the Golden-Eyed Lion Sovereign appeared precisely at that location.
As a Supreme Primordial Grandmaster with the support of a formation,
this full-force sword strike might even have a chance of injuring an ordinary Soul Transformation Realm Cultivator.
Unfortunately, the Lion Sovereign was no ordinary Soul Transformation Cultivator.
It merely glanced at her disdainfully and casually swiped its claws, shattering the sword light. The raging river of sword energy reversed, slamming into Xu Wanwen's body.
"Aunt..."
Even the clever A Qing was stunned for a moment, having never experienced such a scene before.
Her gaze then fell on a figure in a black robe.
"Focus, and thank you."
The young man's voice seemed to carry an infectious quality, easing A Qing's fearful heart slightly. She took a deep breath, picked up the Formation-Breaking Stone, and continued to compete with the old man for control of the formation.
Elder Brother Shen said so... then it must be fine!
The next moment, scorching blood splattered onto her body.
A Qing felt suffocated, her eyes widening in shock, but she dared not turn back to look, forcing herself to focus on the Formation-Breaking Stone in her hand.
On the other side, Xu Wanwen was backlashed by the sword light, but she momentarily ignored the pain and trembled, her palms shaking.
She looked towards the front in fear.
The Golden-Eyed Lion Sovereign waved its palm again, brutally slapping downwards.
The black robe was swept up by the raging wind, like a small boat in a storm.
The young man raised his palm, firmly pressing it against the Lion Sovereign's wrist.
In the face of the Demon Sovereign's vast power,
Shen Yi's half-shattered body revealed a crimson Dao Infant, and fine cracks spread from his right cheek.
"You... a Primordial Sage?"
A hint of absurdity flashed across the Golden-Eyed Lion Sovereign's expression. From its wrist, a chilling aura climbed upwards, covering its entire right arm with a layer of frost.
A mere Primordial Sage had actually blocked its palm strike?
"But this Sovereign still has another hand."
Its eyes gleamed with killing intent, seemingly dissatisfied with being intimidated by a lower-realm cultivator.
Just as the Golden-Eyed Lion Sovereign was about to strike again, it caught a glimpse of a faint smile on the young man's face.
The contrast between his fair skin and the crimson Dao Infant exuded a hint of strangeness.
The young man's expression wasn't twisted like Tang Yuan's, nor did he roar out loud.
Yet, the Golden-Eyed Lion Sovereign inexplicably felt an intense madness in his smile.
"Die!"
The Golden-Eyed Lion Sovereign abruptly raised its arm to smash down, but at that moment, two dazzling golden arms shot out from under its armpits, gripping its shoulders.
The immense force flipped it over.
The Lion Sovereign was stunned for an instant, completely unaware of where this Divine Transformation Body had come from, and how it had silently approached from behind.
At this moment, Shen Yi finally raised his eyes, and the thick blood was scorched away by the heat, transforming into purple-golden flames under the empowerment of the Ageless Tree.
Exhilarating!
The Nine Sun Rounds swiftly appeared, illuminating the sky!
He suddenly soared, and with lightning speed, the Flame Scorching Heart Palm he had prepared slammed into the Lion Demon's forehead.
Boom—
The Departing Fire Sun, like a meteor, continuously smashed into it.
Each strike landed in the same spot.
"Roar!"
The Golden-Eyed Lion Sovereign staggered back, breaking through the frost, and covered its forehead with both palms.
At almost the same time, a dazzling Golden Body Dharmic Form shot up from behind it, and its palm viciously slapped its ear!
Boom!!
Half of the Golden-Eyed Lion Sovereign's head was shattered by the golden body.
The raging Departing Fire engulfed it, and its lion roar shook the heavens, a pitiful sight: "Roar!"
A demon core appeared in Shen Yi's hand, which he directly pressed into the Dao Infant.
Such a brutal action caused the vast demonic power to surge within the Dao Infant, but his expression remained unchanged.
Finally, he had regained the feeling of risking his life.
He suddenly realized that he actually quite enjoyed it.
His palms suddenly shot out, and another Nine Sun Rounds appeared behind him.
At the same time, the golden body leaped up again, and its palms viciously pried open the Lion Sovereign's already shattered skull.
Shen Yi charged forward with the Departing Fire.
His palms ruthlessly struck out,
smashing the colorless sun into the Lion Sovereign's cranium.
"Roar!"
Its roar this time was slightly hoarse, and its golden eyes wildly scanned the surroundings.
Wherever the golden light passed, whether mountains or cliffs, they were all violently shattered.
The Golden Body Dharmic Form impassively blocked Shen Yi's path.
Its body shielded him from the golden light.
With a crisp cracking sound, the golden body's right arm shattered, and its entire body was once again covered in cracks.
However, it didn't hesitate for a moment and immediately pounced on the Lion Sovereign!
Its hands grabbed one of the Lion Sovereign's hind legs, and with a tearing sound, it viciously tore it off!
The Golden-Eyed Lion Sovereign fled towards the tattered old man in disarray.
Then, a black chain directly wrapped around its waist, slamming it onto the peak of the mountain. It could only howl and roll its broken body, trying to shake off the Departing Fire from its skull.
The golden body closely followed, but a chain also shot towards it!
It stopped in its tracks, standing indifferently in midair.
"Give me a little more time..."
A Qing wiped her tears, her voice already trembling with sobs.
It was clear that the formation no longer belonged solely to one side.
"There's no need to rush, take your time."
Shen Yi's voice remained as calm as before.
However, in a place unseen by A Qing, whether it was Xu Wanwen or Tang Yuan, or even the elderly man who was intently vying for control of the formation, they all wore expressions of stupor.
A three-meter-tall Golden Body wasn't particularly terrifying.
Moreover, it was nothing special for a Primordial Sage within the Thousand Demons Cave.
But at this moment, both of them appeared severely injured, yet they still carried a chilling and ruthless aura that sent shivers down one's spine.
They stood in mid-air, looking down at the Golden-Eyed Lion Sovereign rolling on the ground below, as if gazing at a lamb awaiting slaughter.
What a formidable aura!
Shen Yi's body was covered in peacock-red light, and his physical body rapidly recovered.
He once again took out the demon core and pressed it into his body, replenishing his Dao Infant that had been almost completely drained.
This seemingly casual action made it seem as if the terrifying injuries on his body were merely an illusion.
"Where in the world did this..."
Tang Yuan resisted the erosion of the dark fog and subconsciously swallowed his saliva, holding back the last two words.
His master had once said that he appeared steady, but in reality, he was an impulsive madman.
But until now, he finally understood what true madness was.
Tang Yuan shook his head in admiration, then looked at the emaciated old man and scolded, "You're a human cultivator, from which faction are you? How dare you be an accomplice to a demon! Can't you see the situation clearly? Stop this at once!"
The outcome had already been decided, but if they continued to drag it out, it would only lead to more trouble.
After all, this was the Thousand Demons Cave.
"I'm not a human cultivator, nor do I belong to any faction."
The raggedly-clothed old man continued to manipulate the formation and said, "I'm just a discarded dead man, still willing to fiddle with formations. As for whom I set up the formation for, I don't care."
Upon hearing this, Xu Wanwen held her long sword and exclaimed in surprise, "Are you from the Xu family?"
The old man's mocking tone grew stronger: "Don't flatter yourself."
If it were a thousand years ago, he might have acknowledged this surname, but after enduring the torment in Radiant Light Cave, he had never received any news from the Xu family.
He had long since given up on everything.
Following the Radiant Light Cave was fine, and if the people from the cave were killed by demons, it was also fine for the demons to use him.
"..."
The emaciated old man withdrew his gaze and focused on the formation in his hands.
This was the strongest opponent he had encountered in recent years... The opponent looked so young, causing a twinge of sorrow in his heart.
Time slowly passed.
A Qing seemed to sense that the situation had stabilized, and her trembling palms gradually steadied.
To an outsider, the scene appeared unremarkable.
However, in the eyes of the two, the formation's intricacies were laid bare, like a game of chess.
And at this moment, the victor had been decided!
The formation-breaking stone in A Qing's palm suddenly shattered, turning into powder that fell from her fingers.
Despair filled the eyes of the raggedly-clothed old man.
He silently looked down, then tremblingly drew a tattered scroll from his bosom, his fingertips moving as if hesitating whether to destroy it.
In the end, he angrily threw it towards the ground.
Immediately, his entire body was swallowed by the dark fog.
Within the formation duel, there was also a backlash.
In an instant, the Golden Body suddenly pounced forward.
With a might that shook the heavens and earth, it violently smashed the head of the Golden-Eyed Lion Sovereign!
[Killed a Golden-Eyed Lion Demon at the initial stage of Soul Transformation, with a total lifespan of seventy thousand years, remaining lifespan of twenty-three thousand years, absorption complete]
Shen Yi casually stored the remains in his storage treasure.
His injuries had completely healed.
He looked no different from before the fight.
He strolled towards the maid sitting on the ground, gasping for breath, and handed her the tattered scroll he had taken earlier: "Thank you."
A Qing took the object in a daze.
Instead of immediately reading it, she put it in her bosom.
It was evident that the previous scene had deeply shocked her. As a young member of a secluded family, this was an experience she had never encountered before.
A Qing touched the blood on her neck and looked at the youth in the black robe, unsure if it was his blood.
"I'm a little scared..." She admitted honestly.
"Then do you still want to follow me?" Shen Yi glanced at her, understanding her feelings. After all, even he had never faced a Demon Sovereign during his Core Formation Realm.
"Er, I want to follow you."
Xu Qing'er was still dazed and nodded subconsciously.
"Then let's release them first."
Shen Yi looked at the few people still being devoured by the dark fog and reminded them lightly.
"Oh!"
A Qing hurriedly stood up and quickly chanted the spell.
She didn't notice that at this moment, as a Core Formation cultivator, she held the life of a Soul Transformation cultivator in her hands.
"Cough, cough, cough!"
Several Primordial Sages finally broke free from their restraints.
Tang Yuan also knelt on the ground in disarray, clutching his throat. After a long time, he spat out a clump of black ashes.
He looked like a fire extinguished by water.
"Thank you, fellow Daoist, for your help."
Tang Yuan took a few breaths before bowing towards the ground.
However, the Golden Body Dharmic Form didn't bother to pay him any attention and directly vanished into the horizon.
Only Shen Yi was polite enough to nod slightly.
Of course, this was only in his own opinion.
According to reason, a Primordial Sage showing such an attitude towards a Soul Transformation cultivator was considered extremely disrespectful.
But remembering Shen Yi's ruthless demeanor earlier,
Tang Yuan inexplicably thought of his master's senior brother. A cultivator with such a personality would probably act in this manner.
"I haven't asked for your name yet, fellow Daoist?"
He first helped the few Primordial Sages from Da Qian expel the dark fog, then flew towards the mountain.
"Shen."
Shen Yi had no intention of establishing a deep relationship with Wutong Mountain, as it was a massive force that he currently had no power to resist.
Although the opponent wasn't a disciple of Wutong Mountain, there was still some connection.
"Tang Yuan, disciple of Clearwind True Monarch."
At this moment, Tang Yuan shook his head with lingering fear: "I consumed three precious pills bestowed by my master, and I'm feeling exhausted. Fortunately, fellow Daoist Shen helped, or else I might not have been able to subdue this demon. I am forever indebted to you for saving my life, and I will repay this debt in the future."
"By the way, these are the Primordial Sages from Da Qian."
He introduced them: "They haven't thanked you yet, fellow Daoist Shen. Otherwise, all the Primordial Sages from Da Qian would have been wiped out in the Thousand Demons Cave."
"Senior Shen, we will forever be grateful for your kindness and virtue," Hou Wanhai said as he led the group down the mountain. "If there's an opportunity, please come to Da Qian as a guest. We will definitely report to the Temple of Martial Arts and treat you with the highest etiquette."
"We'll talk about it later."
Shen Yi nodded and looked towards the mountain peak.
Just as A Qing gained control of the formation, the original gap in the formation disappeared without a trace.
