Fierce Battle Against the Purple Lightning Lion King!
After completely digesting the Demon Core, a violent surge of lightning power exploded in his abdomen, traveling through his limbs and bones.
Shi Jian closed his eyes slightly, carefully sensing the completely different aura of Dao of Lightning. He thought to himself, "This cyan-purple lightning exudes a chaotic and destructive frenzy, completely different from the supreme yang and strength of my Purple Pivot Lightning."
"This feeling seems somewhat familiar, somewhat reminiscent of the Azure Profound Lightning; it should belong to the same Dao origin as the Azure Profound Lightning."
Before Shi Jian could completely refine this energy,
Deep within Thunderclap Valley, mutations suddenly occur.
"Roar--!"
A deafening roar of a lion resounded from the thick thunderclouds that stretched for tens of thousands of miles.
The surrounding void trembled violently like water, and the sky full of azure and purple Profound Lightning seemed to be summoned by something, swirling back and converging wildly.
"Where did this wild bear come from, daring to run wild on my turf!"
A savage roar pierced the Yunxiao; thunderclouds were torn apart by a pair of invisible giant claws, and a Frenzied Thunder Purple Lion, tens of feet in size, shattered the void and crashed down.
Its entire body was covered in thick, dark purple scales, and its four claws were treading on blue-purple lightning and fire. The powerful pressure of the Nascent Soul Early Stage descended like a mountain.
The Purple Lightning Lion King looked down at Shi Jian, its beastly eyes fixed on him, its murderous intent fully revealed; without uttering a word, it raised its front paw and swung it fiercely.
"You deserve to die for killing my people!"
The sky was instantly filled with azure and purple Profound Lightning, which intertwined and transformed into a terrifying lightning net that blotted out the sky.
Above the lightning net, every arc of electricity contained the power of thunder that could tear through the void; it swept down upon Shi Jian, completely sealing off the space within a hundred feet around him.
Shi Jian remained calm, letting out a silent roar as he looked up at the sky; the next instant, his Immortal Foundation [Purple Pivot Lightning] roared into operation!
Boom!
A terrifying aura, far surpassing that of the Purple Lion King, surged forth from Shi Jian's body.
The powerful pressure, carrying the supremely yang and unyielding essence of Dao of Lightning, transformed into a dazzling purple-gold pillar of energy that pierced straight into the sky.
The overwhelming net of cyan-purple lightning, the moment it touched the pillar of purple-gold energy, was like fire meeting snow; it couldn't even hold on for half a breath before collapsing inch by inch amidst a piercing "hissing" sound, turning into ashes scattered across the sky.
The Purple Lion King's expression changed drastically, and he abruptly stopped in mid-air.
Nascent Soul Middle Stage!
"You bear demon, you've actually concealed your cultivation! When did the Giant Bear Clan produce such a treacherous killer like you!"
The Purple Lightning Lion King cursed, knowing that things would not end well today; in the Beast Realm, showing weakness was tantamount to offering one's neck for slaughter.
The Purple Lion King roared, fully unleashing the [Azure Profound Lightning] within his Immortal Foundation.
He opened his blood-red maw and spat out a stream of extremely pure primordial Essence Blood; the Essence Blood instantly merged into the surrounding sea of lightning, and his body, which was tens of feet long, swelled up against the wind and transformed into a thunderous Frenzied Lion that was hundreds or even thousands of feet tall in the blink of an eye!
Azure lightning crackled and leaped around him; each bolt of lightning exuded a violent and malevolent aura capable of annihilating all things.
Under this force, the surrounding void cracked and split, creating countless tiny spatial fissures, as if it were about to collapse at any moment.
"Kill!"
The hundreds-of-foot-tall thunder lion roared, swung its giant claws, and unleashed a torrent of lightning that could tear the heavens and earth apart, slamming down on Shi Jian.
Shi Jian's eyes were filled with a fanatical fighting spirit, which grew even stronger!
"Come, I will grant your wish!"
His bones emitted a series of cracking sounds, and as his flesh tore apart, a pale giant bear, hundreds of feet tall, rose from the ground.
The giant bear was surrounded by raging purple-gold lightning, its eyes like two blazing suns, gazing down upon all living beings...
Facing the thunderous giant claw, Shi Jian also raised his bear paw and slapped it hard.
Boom--!!!
Two colossal beasts, each hundreds of feet tall, collided violently in mid-air.
The battles Demon Beast are not as flashy as those Human Race; they are only the purest and most primal clashes between physical bodies and their very essence.
The violent recoil transformed into a visible ripple of destruction, sweeping wildly in all directions.
The three isolated peaks on the outskirts of Thunderclap Valley were swept by this ripple and disintegrated like a sand table, turning into countless fragments of rocks that fell from the sky.
"Roar!"
The Purple Lion King let out a painful cry, his massive body being forced back several miles.
It looked down and saw that its proud scales had been shattered in large pieces by Shi Jian's palm, and its bluish-purple demon blood cascaded down like a waterfall.
What horrified it even more was that the purple-gold lightning that poured into its body was frantically destroying its meridians like a malignant tumor.
"This... what kind of Thunder Method is this?!"
The Purple Lion King was terrified. Its prized [Azure Profound Lightning] was one of the most powerful immortal Immortal Foundation under the [Frenzied Thunder] level, and it was known for its ferocity.
But today, facing this purple-gold lightning, it was as if it had encountered a natural enemy; it was suppressed by that extremely yang and strong Dao essence, and even the operation of its origin became extremely sluggish.
"The balance of Yang Thunder over Yin Thunder is a matter of course!"
Shi Jian gave it no chance to breathe.
He stomped his feet on the void, and purple-gold lightning exploded beneath his feet; the enormous bear body transformed into a purple-gold lightning bolt that tore through the heavens and earth, closing in on him.
You should die!
Shi Jian clenched his fists tightly, compressing the purple-gold lightning to its limit in his palms, transforming it into a phantom image of Thunder Firmament Dragon-Slaying Spear hundreds of feet long.
The giant bear swung its spear, carrying a savage rage capable of destroying everything, and brought it crashing down.
The Purple Lightning Lion King was instantly terrified and desperately urged the Azure Profound Lightning to transform into a thick blue-purple thunder shield in front of him.
But the next instant, the lightning spear struck.
That lightning shield, powerful enough to withstand a full-force attack from Nascent Soul Early Stage cultivator, was shattered in an instant.
The spear continued its momentum, piercing deep into the Purple Lion King's left shoulder blade.
"Roar--!"
The Purple Lion King roared, half of its body charred black by the burning purple-gold thunder and fire.
It struggled desperately, trying to break free and retreat, but Shi Jian held its head down firmly with one hand; one of its bear paws was raised high, and purple-gold lightning illuminated the entire sky in crimson.
"Cultivation is inherently a path of great contention; if you cannot win, you die!"
One punch! Two punches! Three punches!
Without the slightest pause, Shi Jian pressed down on the Purple Lightning Lion King, bombarding it like a madman striking iron; with each punch, the void trembled and the earth groaned incessantly.
The Purple Lion King's protective aura completely dissipated, his head was smashed into a bloody mess, and his aura instantly weakened to the extreme.
"Help... help me..."
The Purple Lightning Lion King vomited out fragments of its internal organs, and with its last ounce of strength, let out a desperate roar into the depths of Thunderclap Valley.
Shi Jian's eyes turned cold, and he was about to smash its Nascent Soul with a single spear thrust.
At that very moment.
Deep within Thunderclap Valley, the perpetual thunderclouds suddenly churned and tore apart to both sides.
Boom! Boom!
Two terrifying auras, far surpassing those of the Purple Lion King and both reaching the Nascent Soul Middle Stage Peak, burst forth with overwhelming fury.
"How dare you, you brat!"
A roar like rolling thunder shook the entire void violently; the sky full of azure and purple Profound Lightning transformed into two even larger thunder Frenzied Lion, which strode through the void and rushed straight at Shi Jian.
Shi Jian paused, turning to look at the two approaching, terrifying auras.
He casually tossed the dying Purple Lightning Lion King under his feet; he stepped on its head and roared endlessly to the sky!
"Come on!!"
