Heaven-Burning Flame vs. Purple Pivot Lightning!
Meanwhile, on the eastern side of the Three Kings Mountain, poisonous miasma permeated the air.
Deep within the stronghold of the Heavenly Serpent Race, a Nascent Soul Middle Stage Serpent King coiled in the Black Water Cold Pool was listening to the reports from the lesser demons below.
"All three Leifeng peaks have been uprooted? And the three old lions of Thunderclap Valley are dead too?"
The Snake King flicked its tongue, a hint of apprehension flashing in its vertical pupils. "This new bear demon is truly a reckless killer."
"A lower-ranking race of the Frenzied Lion Clan, killed without hesitation; could it be an elite direct descendant of the Giant Bear Clan, invincible among their peers?"
The Serpent King pondered for a moment, then slammed its tail heavily onto the water's surface. "Send the order to tighten the defensive lines; the Frenzied Lion Clan has suffered such a heavy loss, they certainly won't let this go easily."
"Let's keep our tails between us and see how these two manage to win this battle."
Meanwhile, tens of millions of miles to the west.
The land stretched for miles, scorched by the blazing sun; deep within the ancestral land of the Frenzied Lion Clan, a deafening roar suddenly resounded.
The roar was mixed with the supreme power of Spirit Transformation, causing the fire-attribute Spiritual Qi of the entire wasteland to surge violently.
"A bunch of useless trash! They couldn't even handle a Nascent Soul bear cub, and their earth veins were completely uprooted. What a disgrace!"
Deep within the ancestral land, a grand imperial decree crashed down amidst a towering flame.
A burly man, half-human and half-lion, strode out from the flames; this demon was clad in crimson armor, his wild red hair leaping like flames, and he exuded a terrifying aura of Nascent Soul Late Stage.
It was none other than the Blazing Fire Lion King, the infamous elite direct descendant of the Frenzied Lion Clan!
He knelt on one knee, accepted the decree, and grinned, revealing a set of gleaming white fangs. "Ancestor, please calm your anger. How dare a mere Nascent Soul Middle Stage stage bear threaten the foundation of my Frenzied Lion Clan?"
"Grandson, I will go and skin him alive, tear out his tendons, and reclaim all of my clan's heritage, including the Three Kings Mountain!"
The Blazing Fire Lion King cultivated the [Conjoined Fire] Immortal Foundation under the [Heaven-Burning Flame] Fruit Position of the Fire Dao. This type of Immortal Foundation is the most domineering and violent, capable of burning mountains and boiling seas.
"Go, and bring that bear cub's head back to me!"
The Daoist voice of the Spirit Transformation Ancestor gradually faded away; the Blazing Fire Lion King stood up, spat, and looked extremely arrogant.
"Damn it, some stupid bear that crawled out of who-knows-where in the mud dares to mess with us."
He stomped his foot hard, causing the void to tremble violently.
The fiery Spiritual Qi of the sky converged with a roar, transforming into a thick fiery cloud stretching for thousands of miles; the Blazing Fire Lion King leaped into the cloud, riding this sea of fire, and boldly headed straight for the Three Kings Mountain.
Wherever it passed, the sky was burned crimson, and the void was distorted.
Three Kings Mountain can now also be called Six Kings Mountain.
Originally there were three sacred mountains, plus three Lei Feng statues brought by Shi Jian; the six mountains were of similar height and full of Spiritual Qi.
Each of them could be called a main peak, but Shi Jian named the best one, Leifeng, Divine Firmament Peak, making it the foremost of the six peaks.
At this moment, Shi Jian was in his cave abode, using the rich energy of Dao of Lightning and the abundant Spiritual Qi gathered from the six peaks to cultivate in peace.
He had only been quiet for a few days and was currently in seclusion digesting what he had gained this time.
Suddenly, the temperature inside the cave abode soared; the energy of the Dao of Lightning continued to decline, and a burning heat arose from all directions.
Shi Jian's expression darkened slightly, and he slowly opened his eyes.
The originally dense thunderous energy in the air was forcibly pushed aside by an extremely domineering high temperature and was suppressed by the Fire Dao.
"They came quickly. Destroying your vassals shouldn't bring about my Spirit Transformation downfall, right?"
Shi Jian muttered to himself, then casually grabbed the Thunder Firmament Dragon-Slaying Spear that was lying across his lap; he took a step forward and instantly teleported to the sky.
At the edge of the sky, a blood-red fiery cloud was rapidly approaching; the cloud contained terrifyingly high temperatures, which evaporated all the moisture on the wasteland from hundreds of miles away.
Shi Jian's face was cold and stern, and purple-gold lightning flowed across his body, keeping the heat wave at bay. He stood atop the main peak, holding a spear in one hand, and the wind made his purple and white robes flutter wildly.
In just over ten breaths, the fiery clouds had already pressed down over Six Kings Mountain.
Boom!
The fiery clouds rolled and raged, instantly turning the entire wasteland into a sea of fire.
The rocks on Six Kings Mountain showed signs of melting under the high temperature, turning into dark red magma that flowed down the mountainside.
The Blazing Fire Lion King slowly descended from the fiery clouds.
He maintained his half-man, half-lion form, looking down at Shi Jian with undisguised contempt in his eyes.
That arrogant demeanor, coupled with that utterly foolish expression.
He looks like a mentally challenged person no matter how you look at him.
"It was you, you foolish little bear cub, who killed three of my clan's Lion Kings and even stole the Blessed Land of Thunderclap Valley?"
The Blazing Fire Lion King's voice was like a booming bell, causing the surrounding void to hum and vibrate.
Shi Jian stood atop the mountain, staring at him expressionlessly, silently assessing the situation: Nascent Soul Late Stage, Fire Dao Immortal Foundation, his aura is indeed powerful...
Seeing that Shi Jian did not answer, the Blazing Fire Lion King's anger intensified.
"Damn it, he dares to play dumb with me even when he's about to die!"
"That foolish bear in the Nascent Soul Middle Stage thinks he's invincible just because he's powerful enough with Thunder Method? Today I'll show you what it means to be outmatched!"
After saying that, the Blazing Fire Lion King suddenly made a Method Formula seal.
Without a word, he activated his Immortal Foundation [Heaven-Burning Flame]. His brain is clearly not working properly; once he starts beating someone, he goes all out to kill them.
Above the sky, the fiery clouds stretching for thousands of miles suddenly collapsed, transforming into a crimson fiery claw that blotted out the sun.
The giant claw, carrying a ferocious aura capable of incinerating everything, slammed down towards Shi Jian.
Shi Jian looked up, a fervent fighting spirit burning in his eyes; there was no need for words, cultivation was the path of great struggle, by eliminating all enemies one could naturally reach the Great Dao and become an ancestor, and attain the supreme immortal path!
His bones crackled and popped, and his true form, a pale bear hundreds of feet tall, rose from the ground once more, wielding his spear and pressing down forcefully.
"Purple Pivot, Break Through the Heavens!"
Shi Jian roared, pushing his Immortal Foundation [Purple Pivot Lightning] to its limit.
The purple-gold lightning transformed into a dazzling pillar of light that pierced through the heavens and earth, crashing fiercely into the crimson fiery claw.
The giant bear swung the Thunder Firmament Dragon-Slaying Spear, its dragon soul roaring as it transformed into a purple-gold thunder dragon hundreds of feet long, charging straight at the Blazing Fire Lion King.
Boom--!!!
Thunder and Chihuo collided violently in mid-air.
The entire world fell silent at that moment; the blinding light instantly stripped away all color...
Immediately afterwards, a devastating shockwave rippled outwards in a ring.
The void surrounding Three Kings Mountain shattered inch by inch, and countless spatial turbulences were forcibly pulled out; the fire claws were torn apart by the purple-gold lightning, turning into a sky full of flowing fire that crashed down on the wasteland.
The Thunder Dragon continued its relentless advance, heading straight for the Blazing Fire Lion King's face.
"You've got some skills! No wonder you were able to kill those three good-for-nothings!"
The Blazing Fire Lion King snorted coldly and advanced instead of retreating.
With a single grab, the fiery storm condensed in his palm into a crimson greatsword; the greatsword swelled in the wind, becoming hundreds of feet long, and slashed fiercely at the thunder dragon.
Clang!
As the thunder dragon dissipated, Shi Jian's massive body shuddered violently; the raging Fire Dao elemental surged into his body along the spear shaft, attempting to burn his meridians.
"Nascent Soul Late Stage, indeed quite skilled."
Shi Jian suppressed his surging Qi and Blood, and his body shone with a brilliant purple-gold lightning, completely extinguishing the fire poison that had invaded his body.
Thunder exploded beneath his feet, transforming into a streak of purple-gold lightning that surged forward once more.
"Come!"
The spear thrust forward repeatedly, transforming into countless Thunder Shadow that swept across the sky and enveloped the Blazing Fire Lion King.
The Blazing Fire Lion King brandished its greatsword, unleashing a raging sea of fire that blocked all of Thunder Shadow's attacks; the two colossal beasts clashed fiercely in the sky, each collision accompanied by the collapse of mountains and the cracking of the earth.
"You stupid bear, your Thunder Method may be fierce, but before my [Heaven-Burning Flame], it's nothing but water without roots!"
The Blazing Fire Lion King laughed wildly, spun his greatsword, and suddenly deflected the thunder spear. He then swung his sword backhand and slashed at Shi Jian's chest, sending him flying a hundred miles away.
Pfft!
The skin and flesh were rolled up and charred black.
Shi Jian frowned slightly, then stood up again; he suddenly reached out and grabbed the blade of the crimson broadsword tightly.
Purple-gold lightning surged wildly from his arm, transforming into countless lightning chains that instantly entangled the Blazing Fire Lion King before him.
"Gotcha, you stupid lion!"
Shi Jian grinned, gripped the lightning spear tightly, compressed the lightning to its limit, transforming it into a point of deep black light, and fiercely stabbed towards the throat of the Blazing Fire Lion King.
Die!
