His Fame Spread Far and Wide, Gradually Gaining Acceptance Among the Upper Ranks!
Thousands of thunderbolts fell simultaneously, a dense, golden storm of lightning.
The remaining five Frenzied Lion scattered and fled, but within the Lightning Domain, there was no way to retreat.
The gray-maned old lion gritted his teeth and activated his Immortal Foundation, causing the source of Fire Dao to explode on his body. He swung his palm out, unleashing a crimson-gold fire curtain that withstood several bolts of lightning.
The curtain of fire shattered and then coalesced, coalesced and then shattered again.
Although he managed to block it with a bit of effort, his aura had already weakened considerably.
How much longer can we hold out?
The gray-maned old lion felt a chill in his heart. The Fire Dao Frenzied Lion beside him, whose [Heart's Awaited Burning] Immortal Foundation was half a beat too slow to dodge; a pillar of lightning struck down and shattered his leg at the root.
"Ah--!"
A scream rang out, and the Frenzied Lion staggered and fell to the ground.
The pale giant bear took a step forward and slammed down with its forepaw.
The Frenzied Lion desperately urged its life essence fire, and dark red flames surged forth like a tide; but when the giant paw fell, the flames shattered like paper.
"Broken."
A deep, beastly roar echoed throughout the heavens and earth.
The Frenzied Lion's head exploded under the giant paw, its brains and demonic blood splattering everywhere; the Nascent Soul had just flown out of the shattered body when it was enveloped by thousands of lightning bolts.
A surge of purple-gold lightning swept through, and in the next instant, the Nascent Soul turned to ashes.
The gray-maned old lion's pupils contracted, and it turned and fled.
But as soon as he activated his escape technique, a ring of purple-gold lightning exploded beneath his feet; the lightning spread, forcing him to retreat several miles.
"You old scoundrel, you can't escape."
Shi Jian's voice echoed in the Lightning Domain, unhurried and calm.
The gray-maned old lion felt a chill run down his spine.
He had lived for thousands of years and had seen countless geniuses; but the Lightning Bear before him had surpassed all the geniuses he had ever seen.
Before him, even the most promising talents paled in comparison.
Nascent Soul Late Stage Spirit Transformation Soul stage, yet possessed Divine Sense nearly equivalent to that of a deity.
His body was tempered by his Barbarian Bone bloodline, making his physical form extremely powerful.
Dao of Lightning Immortal Foundation, unparalleled in offense and conquest.
Even more bizarre are the Soul Lightning, which are impossible to defend against.
"This bear demon must not be allowed to live."
The gray-maned old lion gritted its teeth, a resolute glint flashing in its vertical pupils.
He whirled around and roared at the Frenzied Lion beside him, "Third brother, to rid the clan of this great scourge, I beseech you to die!"
The Frenzied Lion shuddered, its vertical pupils filled with resentment.
But when he looked around at the corpses of his fallen comrades, he looked at the dense purple-gold thunderclouds in the sky.
Finally, the resentment in his vertical pupils transformed into resolve.
"Good!"
He roared to the sky, and the primordial essence of the Great Dao surged wildly from his body.
The Nascent Soul within his body suddenly exploded, and the vast Earth Dao source went out of control in an instant; the immense power erupted like a volcano, engulfing the void within a radius of several miles.
Boom--!!!
The explosion was deafening, and crimson flames shot skyward.
The entire Fallen Fire Valley trembled, and a large section of the valley walls collapsed; lava surged out, scorching the ground into a glazed hue.
A crack appeared in the Lightning Domain due to the force of the self-destruction.
Although it was only about ten feet wide, it was enough.
"Walk!"
The gray-maned old lion roared and charged desperately toward the crack.
Two Frenzied Lion followed closely behind, each activating their escape techniques; they knew this was their only way to survive.
Shi Jian frowned, a cold glint flashing in the pale giant bear's beastly eyes.
He raised his palm, Lightning Domain contracted accordingly.
Thousands of lightning arcs intertwined like chains, attempting to seal the crack again; however, the power of the self-destruction was too violent, and the Earth Dao energy was still raging.
The lightning arc collided with the mountains, blasting out countless orbs of light.
The gray-maned old lion was already at the edge of the crack. He glanced back at his two companions. "Please, you two, stop him!"
The two Frenzied Lion hesitated for only a moment before making a decisive move.
One was a cultivator with Earth Dao Immortal Foundation, the other with a strength -Dao of Strength Immortal Foundation; they exchanged a glance, then simultaneously turned away, ready to face their deaths!
"Ancestor, you must leave!"
The Earth Dao Frenzied Lion roared, pressing down with both palms; the earth beneath its feet swelled, and countless giant Red Rock pillars rose from the ground, completely blocking Shi Jian's path.
The Dao of Strength Frenzied Lion transformed into its true form, its massive body imbued with Savage Wilderness power, and charged straight at Shi Jian, engaging him in a fierce battle.
But Shi Jian did not stop.
He slammed his palm out, and the giant Red Rock pillars shattered like paper; then, he opened his mouth and spat out a bolt of purple-gold lightning.
In an instant, the lightning pierced through the chest of the Frenzied Lion, its body Dao of Strength, and emerged from its back.
The Frenzied Lion let out a miserable roar as its body disintegrated inch by inch in the lightning; its Nascent Soul had just flown out when it was torn to pieces by the lightning arcs on Shi Jian's body.
Earth Dao Frenzied Lion's expression changed drastically as he desperately activated his Immortal Foundation; but in the next instant, an invisible wave emanated from between Shi Jian's brows.
Soul Lightning.
The Earth Dao Frenzied Lion stiffened, his vertical pupils dilating; his soul shattered in the Soul Lightning, and his nascent Nascent Soul vanished.
The body fell from the sky and crashed onto the broken rocks at the bottom of the valley.
The gray-maned old lion had already passed through the crack. Without looking back, he continued to flee into the distance, even disregarding his own life Essence Blood, and ran wildly towards the ancestral land in the west.
Shi Jian looked westward.
The gray-maned old lion had already fled tens of thousands of miles away, its aura gradually fading; Shi Jian breathed a sigh of relief, the lightning around him gradually withering away.
"Even if we chase after them, we might not be able to kill them."
"That old lion was quite powerful, and in his desperate escape, he was extremely fast; moreover, the ancestral land of the Frenzied Lion was just to the west."
"If we chase them to the vicinity of the ancestral land, we might encounter Spirit Transformation monster."
"Fine, killing fourteen is enough."
Shi Jian withdrew his Lightning Domain, and the pale giant bear's body slowly shrank; he transformed back into human form, holding the lightning spear in his hand.
The ferocious beast of thunder and fire circled beside him for a moment, then transformed into a stream of light and disappeared into the Lightning Fire Mystic Pearl...
Shi Jian looked down at the bottom of the valley.
The remains of fourteen Nascent Soul Frenzied Lion were scattered everywhere; demonic blood stained the Red Rock, and the air was filled with the stench of burnt flesh and blood.
He raised his hand and put away the storage rings one by one.
Immediately afterwards, he sensed several familiar auras rushing towards him; they were several Nascent Soul Demon King from the Mountain Bear Lineage, who must have received the message he had previously sent back.
Shi Jian lightly touched the ground with his feet and his figure soared into the air; he did not linger there and flew straight towards the army's camp.
Behind them, Fallen Fire Valley was a scene of utter devastation.
It couldn't even be called a valley; it was a chaotic, haphazard forest of rubble.
Several days later, the news spread.
"Have you heard? That Lightning Bear killed fourteen Nascent Soul Nascent Soul in Fallen Fire Valley!"
"Fifteen against one, fourteen were killed, only one escaped!"
"Those were all Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivators, not just some nobody. He actually single-handedly killed fourteen of his own kind."
"Tyrant, truly Tyrant!"
In the remaining strongholds of the Frenzied Lion Clan in the western border, countless members of the Frenzied Lion Clan were filled with fear; even the Golden Core Demon General trembled at the mere mention of the name Lightning Bear.
Even the Nascent Soul Demon King paled three degrees.
The mountain bear army's encampment.
Shi Jian sat cross-legged in the stone hall, closing his eyes and regulating his breathing.
In the Fallen Fire Valley, although he killed fourteen Nascent Soul, he also suffered considerable losses; activating the Lightning Domain to seal the heavens and earth almost exhausted his life force.
Fortunately, there were quite a few spoils of war.
Fourteen Nascent Soul remains, fire-attribute spirits, elixirs, and Cultivation Method Jade Slip; there were also dozens of Nascent Soul Law Treasure, but they were all ordinary items.
There are very few that I would find acceptable.
Among them were some treasures Heaven and Earth Qi Dynamic, or energy-related treasures; Shi Jian refined these treasures one by one, regardless of their purpose; the boundless spiritual energy surged into his body, was absorbed by his Immortal Foundation, and transformed into the source of his energy.
To break through to the Nascent Soul Perfection, 36 strands of vital energy are required, and 15 strands have already been condensed.
"We're still halfway to perfection."
Shi Jian opened his eyes, a thoughtful look flashing across them.
After Nascent Soul Perfection, one must attempt to reach the Spirit Transformation stage; however, Spirit Transformation is not easy, requiring the comprehension of various Immortal Foundation and a vast amount of resources.
"No rush, take your time."
"Once this battle is over, a new batch of Dao Pill seedlings will have been cultivated; within a hundred years, they will definitely be able to begin their breakthroughs."
Shi Jian calmed his mind and continued to regulate his breathing. At this moment, Shan Li transmitted his voice.
"My lord, someone is looking for you."
Shi Jian raised an eyebrow, stood up, and pushed open the door to go out.
Shan Li stood outside the hall, with an old Daoist priest with an earthen yellow body standing beside him; the giant bear was surrounded by a strong Earth Dao aura, clearly a Nascent Spirit Transformation ancestor of the Mountain Bear Lineage.
Shi Jian bowed slightly. "Greetings, Ancestor."
The Spirit Transformation ancestor waved his hand, his expression indifferent. "The clan already knows the details of the battle at Fallen Fire Valley."
"Fourteen kills, not bad."
The old Daoist priest paused for a moment, then took out a Jade Slip from his robes. "This is a reward from the clan. Keep it safe; it should be of great help to you."
Shi Jian took it and probed it with his Divine Sense.
The Jade Slip contained Secret Method at the Spirit Transformation level, called [Myriad Lightning Sect Record], which could increase the power of Dao of Lightning Immortal Foundation by 30%.
Furthermore, there are abundant Spirit Stone, Dao of Lightning spiritual items, and vital energy as rewards, as well as three special thunder pills.
"Thank you, Ancestor."
Shi Jian put the Jade Slip slip away, his expression calm.
The Spirit Transformation Ancestor gave him a deep look, then turned and left. "Cultivate diligently; the clan will rely on you in the future."
After Shan Li had walked a distance away, she approached him and said, "My good husband, you've become famous after that battle."
"The name of this Tyrant will likely spread throughout the Western Regions."
Shi Jian didn't reply, but just looked westward.
The old gray-maned lion has run away, and that old lion will surely transmit the information about the Battle of Fallen Fire Valley back to the Frenzied Lion Ancestral Land; the battles to come will likely be even more difficult.
"It's just a little bit of empty fame, nothing to brag about."
"No matter how many they come in the future, I will kill them all!"
