The Final Swan Song, Formally Accepted!

The ancestral land of the Frenzied Lion, the Heaven-Burning Ancestral Court.

Inside the crimson-gold hall, it was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

The gray-maned old lion knelt in the center of the hall, its right arm severed at the root, with faint purple-gold lightning arcs flickering at the wound, preventing the flesh from healing.

His face was ashen, and his breath was extremely weak.

On the head seat, the Dark Gold old lion's face was ashen.

"Fifteen to fourteen..." The Dark Gold old lion closed his eyes, his eyelids twitched, and his withered lips pressed into a line.

"Your Highness, "the Frenzied Lion Clan Chieftain said, his face pale. He stepped forward and whispered, "Ancestor, the tribes in the Western Territory have already mutinied upon hearing of the Fallen Fire Valley."

"Three collateral branches of the bloodline packed up a batch of resources and fled south to the Nether Realm rift."

"A bunch of dog food feeders, mixed blood is definitely unreliable."

"They're usually incredibly cunning when it comes to freeloading, but now that the clan is in trouble, they're running away faster than anyone else. Those treacherous little beasts!"

There was a magnificent, radiant Frenzied Lion, a being of Spirit Transformation transformation, which couldn't help but tease.

His tone was full of helplessness; when the tree falls, the monkeys scatter—it was truly desolate.

"That's enough."

The Dark Gold Lion raised his hand and waved it. "These fools, even if they manage to escape to the Nether Realm, they'll only become food for others. Let them go."

"If they can live, it will be a stroke of luck; it will preserve a bloodline for my Frenzied Lion Clan."

The hall fell silent once more.

The Dark Gold lion slowly opened its eyes and looked into the depths of the hall; there lay the ruins of a teleportation array, its runes erased and charred black.

"Have the last batch of loyal heirs been sent away?"

"Reporting to the Ancestor, the thirty direct descendant cubs, personally escorted by more than ten direct descendant Nascent Soul Nascent Soul, have already been transported to the Measure Realm via a special route."

"The array plate has been destroyed; there is no trace of it left."

"That's good."

The Dark Gold lion nodded slightly, its withered fingers tapping on the crimson-gold throne. "As long as the flame remains, my race is not extinct."

As for the rest...

He stood up, his Dark Gold mane fluttering in the windless hall. His Spirit Transformation power erupted, suppressing the flickering firelight within the hall.

"The Giant Bear Clan wants to establish their royal authority by stepping on our bones; we cannot resist, so let us play this charade to the very end."

The Dark Gold lion's gaze swept over the remaining four Nascent Spirit Transformation and dozens of Enlightenment Nascent Soul in the hall, its voice cold and stern, "Send the order: open the ancestral treasury and distribute all the elixirs and Law Treasure."

"Those in the clan who are fit to fight, shall stand firm to the very edge of our clan's territory Heaven-Burning Plain, and bid farewell for our clan."

"Even if our clan is wiped out, we should still maintain some dignity; gentlemen, the decline of our clan today is entirely our fault."

"It's time to go and atone for your sins."

"Here you go!"

The demons inside the hall responded in unison, their voices shaking the heavens, yet all their heroic spirit was gone; it was only a final lament, knowing it was a dead end, yet having no choice but to go.

The war of annihilation has left no way out.

The mountain bear army's encampment, the stone palace.

Shi Jian sat cross-legged on the futon, his eyes slightly closed.

He made a hand seal with his fingertips, and a bolt of purple-gold lightning swirled in his palm as if it were alive.

Strands of the Heaven and Earth Qi Dynamic were drawn out, flowing along the meridians into the Dantian, and finally merging into the Nascent Soul.

The Myriad Lightning Sect Record is indeed profound.

Shi Jian was amazed. This mysterious technique not only enhanced the power of his Thunder Dao Immortal Foundation by 30%, but also made him several times more sensitive to the Thunder Dao energy of heaven and earth.

In just a few days, the original source of energy he had condensed within his body increased from fifteen strands to twenty strands after absorbing another batch of Dao of Lightning energy.

The thirty-six strands of perfection are already more than halfway complete.

With a creak, the heavy stone door was slowly pushed open.

Shan Li walked in with a slightly protruding belly, holding a bone-white Jade Slip slip in his hand, his expression somewhat strange.

Shi Jian suppressed his anger, opened his eyes and looked at her. "Are we about to set off for the front lines?"

"It's time to set off."

Shan Li walked to the table and handed over the Jade Slip: "It's a pity there's no one for you."

Shi Jian frowned, reached out and took the Jade Slip, probing it with his Divine Sense.

The Jade Slip contained the decree of the Spirit Transformation Ancestor of the Mountain Bear Main Lineage; the content was several hundred words long, but the core meaning was only one.

Shi Jian was forbidden from engaging in battle; the rear was secured.

"Why?" Shi Jian asked, holding the Jade Slip.

Do you still consider yourself a lowly pawn?

Shan Li pulled up a chair and sat down, letting out a cold snort. "Ever since the battle at Fallen Fire Valley, you've broken the backbone of the Frenzied Lion Clan; those old Nascent Spirit Transformation are now bloodthirsty and might be plotting to drag you down with them."

Upon hearing this, Shi Jian fell silent for a moment.

"Cultivating immortality is inherently a path of great contention; one must not be impatient."

Shan Li reached out and pressed down on Shi Jian's hand, his tone unusually serious. "You must fight, but you must fight smartly!"

"You are now the seed of our clan's Spirit Transformation stage, your life essence is extremely precious; don't be fooled by the thin line between Nascent Soul and Spirit Transformation, it's very difficult for even one in a hundred Nascent Soul Nascent Soul to become a Spirit Transformation."

"Those five Spirit Transformation stage monsters know they are doomed, so they will stop at nothing to try and take our prodigy as their replacement."

"If you go to the battlefield, the opposing Spirit Transformation cultivators will risk self-destruction to kill you!"

"Your life is no longer just that of a pawn; it is the future of a people, the pillar of a people."

"This applies to both the greater good and to one's own family."

"Our little family needs you, the Lightning Bear Line needs you, and the Mountain Bear Lineage will also need your support in the future."

Shi Jian narrowed his eyes slightly, and finally nodded slowly in agreement.

He Grand Purity the ruthlessness of the Frenzied Lion Ancestor. That attack that came from the sky outside Burning Lion City —if it weren't for the Barbarian Bone Dao Venerable's gaze protecting his life, he would probably have been reduced to ashes long ago.

"The leaders of the main branch have spoken; you are not needed to charge into battle."

Seeing that his expression had softened, Shan Li's tone also softened. "Your presence in the rear is the greatest source of confidence for our tribe."

"Okay, I understand."

Shi Jian agreed; at this moment, his identity had completely changed.

He gradually came into the view of the higher-ups and was gradually accepted by the upper echelons of the community; and he was able to be accepted by the upper echelons so smoothly.

Firstly, he has undeniable talent and proven track record!

Secondly, it was his wife, Mountain Bear Lineage, led by Shan Li, exerted its influence!

With someone behind it all, everything changes.
