Chapter 352: Consider Yourself Lucky
Chapter 352: Consider Yourself Lucky
[3,700 years ago, the Bone-Devouring Bear Emperor helped you test the process of incorporating the Li Fire to temper your divine soul for the first time, confirming that this method is safe. You waved your hand to signal it to continue.]
Let the lingering resentment of the demon beasts repeat indefinitely until you thoroughly master it.
Shen Yi didn't feel any heartache for the loss of his lifespan.
Without any means to protect his soul at the moment, it was always better to be cautious.
When the resentment of the Bear Emperor showed signs of dissipating,
The Silverback Ape Emperor, who had been prepared in advance, stepped in to take its place.
Shen Yi had many more such lingering resentments from the demon beasts.
[12,300 years ago, the Red-Hearted Snake Emperor encountered a mishap during his fifth attempt to incorporate the Li Fire, and his resentment was burned to ashes by the raging Li Fire. Fortunately, the Ancient Greenhill Ancestor witnessed the entire process and soon identified the problem.]
"Tsk."
Watching the prompt flashing across the panel, Shen Yi withdrew his gaze with lingering fear.
If it had been an outside cultivator, even if they were lucky enough to obtain the Li Fire Heart Palm, they wouldn't know how many expert lives it would cost to complete this final step.
With the support of over ten thousand years of demon beast lifespan, the Ancient Greenhill Ancestor finally deduced the complete Li Fire Heart Palm.
Then he had the residual resentment of other demon emperors verify the process once again.
"..."
Shen Yi's expression gradually turned solemn, and the next moment, the golden light in his eyes almost dissipated.
A surging sense of scorching pain assaulted his mind.
Within his robust body, his fragile soul began to tremble violently.
It was only until an invisible flame imprint appeared on his soul that he finally breathed a sigh of relief, but then the second wave of intense pain struck.
The entire process lasted for ten thousand years in the panel.
When the last prompt appeared, Shen Yi leaned back in his throne, his body twitching slightly, and his gaze turning numb.
[After 21,000 years, you successfully imprinted five Li Fire marks on your soul and learned how to brand this mark into the souls of others with your palm.]
[Transcendent - Li Fire Heart Palm (Rare): Perfected]
[Remaining Demon Beast Lifespan: 36,000 years]
At the early stage of Transcendence, he had already mastered two of the world's most supreme rare techniques and cultivated them to perfection.
With both offensive and defensive capabilities, he lacked no means.
All he needed now was a cultivation technique to improve his realm.
Shen Yi closed his eyes and rested, adjusting himself to his optimal state.
Just five days later, the old serpent dragon couldn't wait to find him.
"How is the Lion Emperor's recovery going?"
It was obvious that it had been rebuffed by others again, barely concealing its anxiety.
"..."
Shen Yi sensed the cultivator's aura hidden behind the serpent dragon.
Finally, he stood up from his throne, "Let's go."
"Good! Good!"
The Phantom-tailed Demon Emperor was overjoyed, "You're the one I can count on, brother."
To deal with Yu Chaoan, it was enough to have him alone, but he needed another Demon Emperor to help intercept.
"What's going on?"
Yu Chaoan secretly followed behind, not daring to get too close, but still catching a glimpse of the lion's silhouette.
If he wasn't mistaken, that looked like the Golden-Eyed Lion?
This old serpent dragon really couldn't find anyone else to help, so it had to resort to the Demon Emperor of the Fortieth Cave.
He shook his head, too lazy to think about it.
This time, he specifically went back to ask his junior brother Tong to borrow a proper grand formation, which he set up on the only path to Wutong Mountain.
Master had said to temporarily refrain from provoking the Thousand Demon Caves.
But this Phantom-tailed Demon Emperor was asking for trouble.
Today is the day to rise to fame!
Yu Chaouan rubbed the bruise on his face, and as he watched the two demon beasts heading straight out of the Thousand Demon Caves, he hurried after them.
"Yes, this way!"
Yu Chaoan's eyes narrowed, his fingers trembling slightly in anticipation.
Unlike the last time when he merely toyed with the serpent dragon, this time, his opponent had voluntarily ventured out of the Thousand Demon Caves, accompanied by only a small lion.
If the Phantom-tailed Demon Emperor fell into his grand formation, Yu Chaoan was confident he had a sixty percent chance of killing him.
Just then, Yu Chaoan's pupils contracted.
The Golden-Eyed Lion Emperor, just a few dozen yards from the formation, had suddenly stopped.
"Lion Emperor, what's wrong?" The Phantom-tailed Demon Emperor turned back, puzzled.
"Oh no!" Yu Chaoan's heart sank, his heartbeat quickening.
But what surprised him even more was the lion's response. "How much longer are you going to drag this out? Where are we even going?"
"We just left!" The Phantom-tailed Demon Emperor was almost enraged. Even those with great abilities had their quirks, but this lion's temper was something else.
However, the Phantom-tailed Demon Emperor managed to keep its composure. "We're almost there. Follow me."
With feigned confidence, it strode forward.
"Phew..."
Yu Chaoan patted his chest, nearly out of breath.
While he was puzzled by the Phantom-tailed Demon Emperor's deference to the lion, his fingers deftly manipulated the spell, causing him to levitate. With a malicious smile, he said, "Little serpent dragon, who are you looking for?"
Vast spiritual energy burst forth from his fingertips, as if pulling something.
In an instant, flames erupted from the ground, forming several robust pillars of fire that connected in the sky before crashing down, engulfing the Phantom-tailed Demon Emperor.
"Roar!"
The Phantom-tailed Demon Emperor instantly transformed into its massive true form, struggling to break free, but its limbs and head were entangled by the fiery pillars.
It snarled in anger and frustration, "You're asking for death!"
"Still putting up a front?" Yu Chaoan cackled, his hands frantically manipulating the formation.
He glanced at the distant lion and added, "Consider yourself lucky. Now scram!"
He needed to focus on dealing with the serpent dragon and had no time to spare for the lion.
"It's lucky, but I think your luck might be running out!" The Phantom-tailed Demon Emperor struggled and laughed defiantly.
It was clear that Yu Chaoan still underestimated the lion, treating it as an early-stage Nascent Soul.
"Lion Emperor, I didn't lie to you! It's right here! Help me take down this foolish cultivator!" The Phantom-tailed Demon Emperor urged.
Under their watchful eyes, the towering lion suddenly leaped, its mighty demonic power erupting.
"...Did I get it wrong?" Yu Chaoan blinked, unsure of what he was sensing. It still felt like an early-stage Nascent Soul.
The Phantom-tailed Demon Emperor also froze for a moment, its eyes filled with confusion.
"What's going on? Did I misjudge?" it wondered. How could such strength be capable of killing Zhang Xuan Yan and daring to defy the Thunderhoof Demon Emperor?
But in just a breath's time, the confusion in the Phantom-tailed Demon Emperor's eyes turned to fury.
The lion, instead of attacking Yu Chaoan, pounced towards it.
Boom—
The massive lion's paw slammed onto the Phantom-tailed Demon Emperor's head.
The eight-zhang-tall sturdy body pounced, pressing down on the serpent dragon's neck, and with unstoppable force, it slammed the Phantom-tailed Demon Emperor into the ground!
