A Great Victory at Yellow Sand Lion Plain!

The moment the two Spirit Transformation bodies joined forces, the world changed color.

With a single palm strike, the earth-yellow Dharma Body solidified the vast yellow sands like iron; with a single punch, the bone-white Dharma Body unleashed Savage Wilderness force like a celestial river pouring down.

Two streams of Spirit Transformation power attacked from the east and north, instantly sealing off the surrounding void and trapping the Dark Gold old lion.

The old lion's face turned ashen, and his Dark Gold body rapidly contracted, condensing all the Fire Dao elemental essence onto his body surface for defense.

"They really know how to spend money!"

The old lion pushed forward with both palms, and a crimson-black barrier of heavenly fire rose from the ground, barely managing to block the palm strike from the earth-yellow Dharma body.

But the Bone White Body's Barbarian Bone Fist pierced through his flank defense in the same instant.

Boom!

The old lion's Dark Gold body shattered with a shocking crack from its right side; golden demonic blood gushed out, scattering across the vast yellow sand, turning the sand into scorched black glass.

The two Nascent Spirit Transformation did not pause for the slightest.

The earthen-yellow Dharma Body flipped its palm and slapped again, and countless layers of yellow sand transformed into thousands of giant rocks, which rolled in from all directions, as if the sky were collapsing.

The white-boned avatar unleashed three more punches, each carrying the essence of Barbarian Bone Dao; with each punch, the old lion's Dark Gold avatar shattered a little.

A battle between two Spirit Transformation Spirit Transformation, two against one, is a foregone conclusion.

Damn it!

The old lion roared, and the firelight in its Dark Gold vertical pupils dimmed rapidly.

He knew very well that if the fight continued, he would likely Death Dao; those who could cultivate to the Spirit Transformation were all exceptionally talented.

They are especially willing to fight to the bitter end, even at the cost of their lives.

He bit his tongue, spitting a mouthful of his vital Essence Blood into the void.

The Essence Blood exploded, transforming into a ball of crimson-black blood flame; the blood flame scorched the void, forcefully tearing open a spatial rift no more than ten feet wide between the two Nascent Spirit Transformation avatars.

"I will remember this humiliation!"

The old lion rapidly shrank its tattered Dark Gold body, shrinking its entire lion body to the size of a normal person, and plunged into the crack.

The crack closed, and the old lion's aura vanished without a trace.

The earthen-yellow Dharma body paused for a moment, then did not pursue.

The white-boned avatar also withdrew its fist and stood still, its voice indifferent as it rang out. "So be it, a stray dog, let it run away."

"Order the entire army to Burning Lion City and breach its walls!"

The escape of the Spirit Transformation was like a bucket of cold water, completely extinguishing the fervor of "better to die a glorious death than live a shameful life."

On the city wall, more than twenty Nascent Soul Frenzied Lion stood frozen in place.

They had just witnessed their ancestor, who, without the slightest hesitation, burned his Essence Blood and tore through the void to escape; leaving behind not even a word of explanation, he abandoned his entire clan and fled alone.

"The ancestor... ran away?"

A Nascent Soul Frenzied Lion murmured, its legs going weak.

The crimson gold barrier shattered in the next instant.

Shan Li, dressed in a bright yellow robe with a short spear across his shoulder, led more than ten Nascent Soul Demon King, breaking into the city from all directions simultaneously.

Behind them, an army of over 200,000 giant bears surged in like an iron tide, crushing the city gates and flattening the city walls.

"Kill!"

With a swing of the Shan Li short spear, a yellowish-brown spear light cleaved half of the Burning Lion Tower in two; the remaining elite Frenzied Lion within the tower were crushed into dust by the Earth Dao power of the Ten Thousand Layered Peaks before they could even utter a scream.

The sounds of battle echoed throughout the Burning Lion City.

The giant bear army swept through, with over two hundred thousand Demon Beast rampaging through the city and the wasteland; those Nascent Soul Frenzied Lion, deprived of the protection of their Spirit Transformation, were either killed, captured, or crushed into mincemeat under the onslaught of an enemy several times their size...

The Burning Lion City, and within half a day, it had completely changed hands.

Outside the city, deep in the yellow sand.

Shi Jian lay at the bottom of a ravine hundreds of miles long, surrounded by broken rock layers and billowing dust.

He was covered in blood, with large sections of his bones broken, most of his meridians shattered, and his internal organs displaced; if it weren't for that wisp of Barbarian Bone Dao that protected his life at the last moment.

This physical body will probably explode on the spot.

Shi Jian slowly opened his eyes, a metallic taste rising in his throat, and he turned his head to spit out a mouthful of black blood.

"A strike at the Spirit Transformation..."

He was still shaken. Even a casual strike from that old lion would have been enough to send him to his doom. The scene just now was too bizarre. It was clearly a gaze from the Barbarian Bone Dao Venerable who had taken the last vestiges of the Spirit Transformation Daoist's power for him.

Even so, the injury was not minor.

Shi Jian stopped thinking and began to meditate on the spot; the Immortal Foundation [Purple Pivot Lightning] slowly circulated within his body, and the Purple Firmament Lightning gradually repaired his shattered meridians and bones.

The sounds of battle cries could be faintly heard in the distance; it was the giant bear army mopping up the remaining enemies in the Burning Lion City.

Shi Jian ignored him and closed his eyes to regulate his breathing.

He didn't know how much time had passed.

Amidst the sandstorm, several figures stealthily approached.

They are five Golden Core Frenzied Lion.

They were originally sentries on the outskirts of Burning Lion City, who scattered and fled when the city fell; they stumbled into this ravine-filled land by accident.

By fortuitous opportunity coincidence, they spotted a bear demon, covered in blood and barely breathing, sitting cross-legged, healing its wounds...

The lead Golden Core Frenzied Lion's eyes flashed.

It recognized the bear as the Lightning Bear Demon King that had just wreaked havoc in the sky; however, the bear Yao Qi was disordered and it was covered in wounds, clearly indicating that it had been severely injured by the Spirit Transformation Ancestor.

"Kill him! He's badly wounded; this is the perfect opportunity!"

The lead Frenzied Lion roared, and its five Golden Core cores lunged out simultaneously.

Fire Dao Law Technique, imbued with killing intent, bombarded from five directions simultaneously.

Shi Jian sighed softly and gripped the thunder spear beside him.

One arm swings.

The tip of the spear drew a purple-gold crescent moon, silently.

As the crescent moon slash passed, the bodies of the five Golden Core Frenzied Lion froze simultaneously; a thin line split open at their waists, and their upper and lower bodies slowly separated.

Demonic blood gushed forth, and severed limbs fell to the ground.

The five Golden Core cores were severed at the waist without even a groan; their mortal bodies were then gradually ground to dust by the lightning.

Five Demon Core flew out and were swallowed by Shi Jian to heal his injuries.

"My good husband, even in this situation you can't forget to kill someone."

Shan Li, carrying a bloodstained short gun, landed at the edge of the ravine; looking down, he saw the mutilated corpses of five Golden Core Frenzied Lion scattered haphazardly around Shi Jian.

Shi Jian opened his eyes and glanced at her. "The city has fallen?"

"Broken, cleanly and neatly."

Shan Li down into the ravine, squatted in front of him, and looked at him provocatively; his hands roamed over the Shi Jian, as if teasing him.

"My physical body is almost half destroyed. Grandpa was really something, making you the bait; I almost ended up a widow."

"You did well today. I'll serve you well tonight."

"Um."

Shi Jian hummed in agreement, then licked his lips as he looked at Shan Li; his thirsty expression made Shi Jian's legs go weak.

It looks like we'll have to hand over grain again tonight.

As for the Dao Venerable E Gu, he doesn't intend to mention the matter of that wisp of gaze he sent; presumably, the higher-ups have their own thoughts.

Then Shan Li took out several healing spirit medicine from his storage Law Treasure and stuffed them into his mouth.

"Focus on healing your injuries first; I'll collect the spoils for you."

She pulled out a bunch of storage rings from her bosom and dumped them in front of Shi Jian.

"Nineteen Nascent Soul Frenzied Lion have died inside and outside Burning Lion City; the five you killed earlier, plus the four from the Red Rock Mountain Range, a total of nine storage rings, are all here."

Shi Jian reached out and rummaged through the storage rings, examining each one one by one.

Most of them were fire- Spirit Stone, Cultivation Method Jade Slip, and Life-Bound Law Treasure treasures; they weren't particularly rare to him.

Shi Jian paused when he flipped to the third storage ring.

He took out a bead the size of a fist.

The bead was a dark red and purple-gold color, with two completely different auras flowing across its surface.

One is the scorching, burning source of Fire Dao, and the other is the violent, unrestrained aura of Dao of Lightning.

The two opposing forces of energy waxed and waned within the bead, like two trapped beasts tearing at each other.

"Lightning Fire Mystic Pearl?" Shan Li leaned closer for a look and raised an eyebrow.

Shi Jian probed the bead with his Divine Sense, and nodded slightly after a moment.

"This bead can be infused with the power of Dao of Lightning or Fire Dao. Once activated, it can conjure a ferocious thunder and fire beast at the Nascent Soul Realm. Although its combat power is not as great as a true Nascent Soul, it is more than enough to assist in battle."

"The higher one's cultivation level, the stronger the thunder and fire beasts one can summon."

"Unfortunately, its maximum summoning limit is only the Nascent Soul Late Stage; it's a decent treasure among Nascent Soul, but its power is limited."

Shan Li grinned. "Keep it safe. This treasure is not bad. It might be useful for self-defense."

Shi Jian nodded slightly, put the Lightning Fire Mystic Pearl into his pocket, and stuffed the remaining treasures into his Law Treasure.

Shan Li rolled his eyes at his utterly impolite manner.

"Fine, fine, it's all yours. Who told you to kill so many?"

"You bastard, you don't even give me a little bit of love!"

"Later, I'll make you suffer, I'll crush your head!"

Shi Jian's lips twitched; this woman was truly fearless.
