Red Rock Mountain Falls, the Battle of Yellow Sand Lion Plain!
The battle at the Red Rock Mountain Range lasted for three days.
After Shi Jian killed four Nascent Soul, the Frenzied Lion Clan's defenses completely collapsed; the remaining six Nascent Soul Frenzied Lion Nascent Soul scattered and hid, putting up a stubborn resistance deep within the western mine...
However, faced with the encirclement and suppression of dozens of Nascent Soul from the Mountain Bear Army, the outcome was without suspense.
Within three days, the six Nascent Soul Frenzied Lion were surrounded and killed one by one; some died deep in the mine, and some died halfway through their breakout attempt.
The one that fled the furthest away was intercepted by two mountain bear Demon King after traveling 30,000 miles, and its physical body was eventually smashed to pieces.
Of the ten Nascent Soul Nascent Soul, not one survived.
After the battle, the bear kings from all the different branches gathered at the main peak of Red Rock.
The two Nascent Spirit Transformation Ancestors of the Mountain Bear Lineage sat high in the main seats, with dozens of Nascent Soul Demon King arranged on both sides below them; Shi Jian's position was arranged as the third seat on the left.
He, the lord of a minor branch of the Lightning Bear clan, sat before the Mountain Bear's direct lineage Demon King.
But no one said anything.
He spearheaded the attack, single-handedly slaying four Nascent Soul; with such a feat to his name, who would dare utter a word against him? And who would dare to challenge him?
"Gentlemen, let us eat together today."
The Spirit Transformation Ancestor spoke indifferently, waving his hand.
The corpses of ten Nascent Soul Frenzied Lion were carried up.
According to the rules of the Demon Race, the victor eats the flesh of the loser; the blood of Nascent Soul demon is a great tonic for bear-type Demon Beast.
Moreover, now that the Barbarian Bone Dao Rhyme is enhancing the Bear Race's bloodline, consuming the Essence Blood of those of the same level greatly benefits the tempering of their physical body.
Shi Jian tore off a lion's leg and took a bite.
The scalding demon blood poured down his throat and into his stomach; a surge of powerful energy exploded within him, guided by the Daoist principles of the Barbarian Bone Dao, seeping deep into his bones.
His expression remained unchanged; he simply ate in silence.
The surrounding bear kings were also engrossed in their meal, the scene extremely bloody; if a Human Race cultivator were to witness this, they would likely curse them as "savages who eat raw meat and drink blood."
But in the eyes of the Demon Race, this is a matter of course.
The weak are the very resources of the strong.
The Red Rock Mountain Range have completely changed hands, but the army has not stopped.
Five days later, the Mountain Bear army continued westward, their target the largest stronghold of the Frenzied Lion Clan in the western region: the Yellow Sand Lion Plain.
The Yellow Sand Lion Plain, spanning hundreds of thousands of miles, are a vast expanse of yellow sand and desert. In the center of the Lion Plains stands a massive, crimson-gold stone city called Burning Lion City, the core stronghold of the Frenzied Lion Clan in the western region.
This place is different from the Red Rock Mountain Range and other mining strongholds.
Within Burning Lion City, a Nascent Spirit Transformation resides permanently, commanding twenty-three Nascent Soul Demon King and over a thousand Golden Core Demon General; moreover, tens of thousands of elite Frenzied Lion warriors, relying on the sandy plains' restrictions, stand ready for battle.
The western branch of the Frenzied Lion Clan has staked almost everything on this place.
There was no way to retreat.
The army had traveled a million miles from Lion Plain when they could already sense the extremely intense Fire Dao energy ahead...
The entire sky was bathed in a dark red hue, and on the distant horizon, the outline of Burning Lion City appeared faintly, extremely rugged.
Furthermore, many creatures that are half-lion, half-human, Half-Demon inhabit this area.
Shi Jian stood at the front of the army, his gaze piercing through the vast yellow sand, his Divine Sense spreading out; with his current Divine Sense, no one but a Spirit Transformation could perceive him.
"Twenty-seven Nascent Soul and one Deity Spirit Transformation."
"The city's defenses are quite strong; even Nascent Soul cultivator could probably hold out for a while."
Shan Li, standing beside him, didn't seem to care. "The experts will handle the Spirit Transformation stage; the restrictions are just a delaying tactic."
She paused, glanced at Shi Jian, and said, "But you, my husband, are you planning to be the vanguard?"
"Nature."
Shi Jian raised his Thunder Spear, its tip pointing towards the distant Crimson Gold Stone City.
"The more merits one has, the better."
Shan Li raised her eyebrows and said nothing more. Her man's belligerence only made her like him more and more.
"If you can kill a few more Nascent Soul Demon King today, I'll reward you by giving birth to another big, fat bear cub!"
"Alright then, Madam, you'd better keep a close eye on things later!"
A massive army is pressing in, and yellow sand fills the sky.
The mountain bear army swept in from the east, with more than 200,000 Demon Beast covering the sky; the enormous bear bodies advanced through the yellow sand, and every step made the earth tremble.
The might of dozens of Nascent Soul Demon King spread out, completely suppressing the Heaven and Earth Qi Dynamic within a radius of millions of miles, sealing off all directions.
In the Burning Lion City, alarm bells rang in unison.
On the city wall, the crimson gold restriction array suddenly lit up; countless Fire Dao inscriptions flowed on the city wall, and a layer of scorching sky enveloped the city.
Twenty-three Nascent Soul Frenzied Lion ascended the city walls and stood in their respective positions.
At the Burning Lion Tower in the center of the city, an old lion in the Divine Spirit Transformation slowly opened its eyes.
He was extremely large, covered in Dark Gold mane, and his vertical pupils churned with scorching flames; his Spirit Transformation power crushed down, distorting the air within a radius of ten thousand miles of Burning Lion City.
"The Giant Bear Clan is truly going too far."
The old lion's voice was hoarse. Beside him, a Frenzied Lion at the Nascent Soul Late Stage whispered, "Ancestor, the mountain bear army is coming with great force, numbering at least two hundred thousand; there are no fewer than thirty Nascent Soul Nascent Soul, and two Deity Spirit Transformation are also there to hold them back."
Is there any way out?
"No. The clan has issued an order: Burning Lion City must not be lost; if the western border falls, our clan will have no choice but to retreat back to our ancestral land."
The old lion remained silent for a moment, then the fire in its vertical pupils burned even brighter.
"In that case, let's fight."
He stood up, his Dark Gold mane fluttering wildly in the wind.
"Now that the various factions no longer restrict the Giant Bear tribe, only a fight to the death is possible; perhaps some bloodline can be preserved, but even if we die, we must take a piece of flesh!"
A major battle suddenly broke out.
Shi Jian led over ten thousand elite troops from the Lightning Bear Line as the vanguard of the entire army, and was the first to charge into the outer perimeter of Burning Lion City; immediately, amidst the churning yellow sand, the vanguard beast horde of the Frenzied Lion Clan surged in like a tide.
Numerous Golden Core Frenzied Lion, carrying the energy of Fire Dao, arrived.
Shi Jian didn't even bother to glance at him. His body swelled up, transforming into a pale giant bear. Purple Pivot Lightning exploded on his body as he crashed into the Frenzied Lion Formation, like a giant hammer smashing into a swarm of ants.
Boom!
A dozen or so Golden Core- Frenzied Lion were smashed to pieces by his impact, their flesh shattered and blood mist exploding outwards; with a single palm strike, the yellow sand within a radius of several miles was pounded into solid ground, the sand pit filled with fragments of flesh and limbs.
The Lightning Bear elite followed closely behind, and the more than 10,000 bear demons, like an iron torrent, crushed the Frenzied Lion Clan's outpost into dust.
At the same time, the mountain bear army pressed forward from both the east and south.
The earth trembled as more than 200,000 Demon Beast charged forward.
Outside the Burning Lion City, the yellow sand plains have been transformed into a battlefield of carnage; demonic blood has stained the sand dunes red, and severed limbs are scattered everywhere.
Howls and the roar of Law Technique merged into a deafening cacophony of killing.
Above the sky, the devastation was even more intense.
The two Nascent Soul Demon King ascended to the heavens and clashed almost simultaneously.
Dozens of Dao powers collided, shattering the void into pieces; the power of various Immortal Foundation, such as the Fire Dao, the Earth Dao, the Dao of Strength, and the Dao of Lightning, exploded in the nine heavens, and the aftershocks swept across the clouds for thousands of miles.
Shi Jian charged through the outposts, advancing instead of retreating; he raised his spear and soared into the sky, charging towards the direction of Burning Lion City.
"Is that the butcher from the Red Rock Mountain Range?"
On the city wall, five Nascent Soul Frenzied Lion locked onto his figure.
The leader was a crimson-maned mad Frenzied Lion in the Nascent Soul Late Stage, with a gloomy gaze.
"Chihuo died at his hands, and now he comes to my Burning Lion City to show off his power?"
"Five against one, that's enough, isn't it?"
"Go, let's wipe him out!"
Five beams of light rose simultaneously, each carrying the power of its own Immortal Foundation, and converged on Shi Jian from five directions.
Shi Jian locked onto the approaching enemy with his Divine Sense, his eyes turning cold.
Five Nascent Soul Nascent Soul, two in the late stage and three in the middle stage; among them, three cultivate the Fire Dao, and one each cultivate the Earth Dao and the Dao of Wind.
They are several levels stronger than the four in the Red Rock Mountain Range.
"Good timing!"
