章 403: Divine Might
編集者: Henyee Translations
When the Nine-Headed Lion heard this, its entire body released blazing golden light. That person was too arrogant and dared to claim it as a mount in front of everyone. That was unforgivable.
Everyone turned around, wishing to see just who it was that was so domineering. Was he going to trigger a shocking great confrontation at this gathering?
Black mist pervaded the air. Several youngsters stood there, all of them wearing black iron battle clothes. Their bodies flickered with dark light, their auras incomparably powerful!
A few people suddenly understood. These were Flood Region's Black Feather Race cultivators, the great geniuses that rose up in this clan in recent years. A few days ago, Shi Hao had dealt with this clan's experts in that floating palace. They were going to take revenge.
These people believed that the youth who dealt with them was Shi Hao. If they took the Nine-Headed Lion as a mount here, it would be a great humiliation for his sworn brother Shi Hao.
"Who do you all think you are?!" Several years had passed, and the Nine-Headed Lion had long grown to an extremely terrifying level. It didn't show any anger, but instead had a dignified aura. Its entire body was resplendent with golden light as it stared at these people.
Black clouds surged again. Behind those genius experts, another two middle-aged men appeared. They slowly turned into human forms, coldly staring at the Nine-Headed Lion.
Everyone was shocked. The Black Cloud Race wasn't to be trifled with. They were a well-known powerful race in the Flood Region. Even though they entered the wasteland region, their domineering style didn't change.
"Even though you are quite strong, in the end, you are still fated to become a mount!" A youngster from the Black Cloud Race said coldly. That was as good as declaring war, and he didn't even hesitate to take action at the gathering.
The main reason was because they were too humiliated a few days ago. That matter had long reached quite a few people's ears. They were first humiliated by a bird, and then they were sent flying by that youth in three steps.
Now that their experts had arrived, they had to become more powerful and had to regain their dignity.
"If you want to die, then bring it on!" The golden lion was extremely domineering. After all these years, it had long grown up. It had matured and become the clan's inheritor.
With a whoosh, crazy winds stirred about, sending sand and stones flying everywhere. The place immediately became dark. Demonic clouds and black mists surged, quickly submerging this place.
The expert from the Black Cloud Race took action, throwing himself forward. Dark clouds surged, sometimes turning into human form, sometimes into mysterious symbols. Symbols covered everything densely.
Boom!
Dark light scattered down, smashing toward the Nine-Headed Lion while releasing a wave of boundless pressure. It was as if an enormous star smashed down.
The Nine-Headed Lion didn't move but stood its ground. Only, the head in the center roared as if the heavens collapsed and the earth split apart. Ghosts cried and deities howled, and boundless golden waves surged. Many people cried out loudly, covering their ears.
This was a true Lion Roar great divine ability!
If it evolved to the extreme, with a roar, the sky would split apart, and the great earth would cave in. It was incomparable. When facing an enemy, it could directly make the enemy collapse.
At this moment, the golden radiance was like a tidal wave. Rumbles sounded as it rushed into the sky, engulfing the dark clouds. It was extremely shocking.
Everyone became stupefied. This Nine-Headed Lion was too formidable. With just a single strike, it shattered the dark light, scattering the clouds and making the sky shake.
What kind of power was this? Everyone sucked in a cold breath of air.
Only Shi Hao personally experienced this. Back then in the Hundred Shattering Mountains, he used up all of his methods and fought for a long time to subdue the golden lion.
After several years, this divine ability wasn't what it used to be, and its power was many times greater.
The black mist scattered, and a young man fell from midair. Blood flowed from his seven apertures, and his face was pale. The clothes on his body were in tatters, and the surface of his body was covered in dense cracks.
He almost exploded. After suffering serious injuries, he lost the ability to fight.
"That's so formidable. No wonder that race dares to devour deities!"
"Is this golden lion going to defy the heavens? This bloodline's strength is astonishing. No wonder it was rumored that its ancestor ate an Archaic Divine King. Its power is boundless!"
Everyone sighed in admiration. This lion really was powerful.
The Black Cloud Clan's people's faces fell. How humiliating. They had wanted revenge, but as soon as they fought, one of their clan's cultivators almost died.
Dark clouds surged, and a youngster walked out. His eyes carried purple radiance, and the armor on his body released gorgeous radiance. With every step he took, the courtyard would tremble.
"Hey, that's the Black Cloud Clan's most formidable genius. He's actually going to take action as well."
Everyone could tell that this person was definitely powerful and possessed the strength to contend for supremacy among his peers. Many experts here felt ashamed of their inferiority.
He walked out step by step, his aura continuously rising like a black demonic mountain. In the end, heaven and earth rumbled.
Suddenly, a strand of strange fluctuations transmitted over, forcibly scattering that aura. At Huo Ling'er's side, an old servant walked out. He was dressed in gray clothes with a haggard face, but with a stamp of his foot, everything became quiet.
"Fire Clan's princess, what are you trying to do?" The Black Feather Race genius asked coldly. He knew that Huo Ling'er had that old servant take action.
"This is a gathering, not a martial competition," Huo Ling'er said indifferently.
"Even if it's a gathering, you can't forbid people from fighting a decisive battle. Us cultivators have always been direct. If there's a disagreement, we can start a battle," said the Black Cloud Race's young expert.
"Princess, tell him to come over. I don't mind killing a few more of these types of people," said the Nine-Headed Lion. Even its pupils were golden. Its voice was calm, but it was incomparably domineering.
Huo Ling'er hesitated for a bit, and then she nodded and said, "Alright, since that is the case, you all can fight in the arena."
There were ancient medicines planted within this palace and garden, to the extent that there were even seven-leaved Stellar Grass. Such rare treasures couldn't be destroyed, so these gardens couldn't be used as a battlefield.
"Rise!"
Right at this time, an elder within the manor shouted, activating a great formation. Then, an enormous platform rose into the air, suspended high in the sky.
Everyone was shocked. It was actually an arena that could stretch high into the sky. The royal family was indeed impressive. They had such a magnificent arena.
With a whoosh, the golden lion turned into a streak of golden light. It rushed up and stood on the platform.
Mists surged, and the Black Cloud Race youth also turned into a dark light. He rushed up and said, "Did you really become sworn brothers with Shi Hao? If I take you as a mount, I wonder what kind of expression he will have."
The Nine-Headed Lion remained nonchalant and unaffected. He said in a dignified tone, "A piece of trash like you isn't worthy of being Shi Hao's enemy!"
"You…" The Black Cloud Race expert's expression became even colder.
"I am Shi Hao's sworn brother, and I feel like I am far inferior to him. However, I'm more than capable of dealing with things like you. If you don't believe me, then come and give it a try!" The golden lion said coldly.
When everyone heard this, they were all inwardly shaken. This golden lion's power was obvious to all, yet it spoke so highly of Shi Hao. It was looking down on the Black Cloud Race's experts.
"That's indeed the case. Even such things dare to show up here. How ignorant." Right at this time, a creature spoke up.
Everyone turned around to look, only to see a bird flapping its wings as it flew over. Its entire body was pitch-black, and no matter how they looked at it, it looked like a crow. It was very arrogant as it looked at the Black Cloud Race's cultivator with extreme contempt.
"It's that bird again!" Someone cried out.
Several days ago, it was precisely this bird that gave the Flaming Bull Race and Black Cloud Race's cultivators a beating. Those slappings were so ferocious.
When the golden lion heard this, it nodded toward the bird. It naturally recognized this vulgar crow. It was precisely the extremely shameless big red bird from the Hundred Shattering Mountains.
Huo Ling'er also revealed a look of joy. When she saw the big red bird, she knew that Shi Hao had come. He should be in this manor.
"Damn bird! I'll kill you!" A vicious bull that emitted scarlet red fiery light roared, its voice shaking the skies.
Everyone was bewildered. Could this be Shi Hao's bird? Everyone turned around to look for that youth. Unfortunately, they didn't see him.
"I'm not scared of you. When the lion is full and comes down from the arena, I'll fight you again," The big red bird spoke pompously.
"I'll kill you right now!" That fiery red vicious bull stepped on a precious artifact that was surrounded by fiery light. It rushed into the sky to kill the big red bird.
"How fierce. I'll kill you in a bit and eat you all!" The big red bird cried out savagely.
When everyone heard this, they were all stupefied. Did Shi Hao come? This bird's tone, as well as its clamoring, definitely sounded the same as Shi Hao!
At this moment, a great battle had already begun in the arena. The Nine-Headed Lion faced off against the number-one genius of the Black Cloud Race. It was incomparably intense. Battle energy surged, shaking the entire heavens.
Everyone was shocked. Even the great clans outside this region were shaken. These were two exceptional geniuses. Such confrontation was rarely seen among creatures of this generation.
They were evenly matched. The two quickly exchanged over a hundred moves. Golden light submerged heaven and earth, and dark clouds covered the sky. It was exceptionally intense.
With a boom, the Black Cloud Race expert's entire body disappeared, turning into dark clouds. Then, lightning interweaved, and the aura was terrifying like a tribulation cloud.
Everyone's minds trembled. They thought of a legend that this race was extremely mysterious and was able to produce heavenly tribulation. They themselves turned into tribulation clouds, which could hack their enemies to death as if the heavens were taking action.
This was also the reason why their ancestors dared to invade the Western Paradise Sect's precious temple countless years ago. Unfortunately, in the end, they provoked that old sect master.
The tribulation clouds rumbled and moved like a black sea. Enormous lightning streaked past, and thunder rumbled. Lightning radiance overflowed into the heavens, and it was terrifying beyond comparison.
Everyone became stupefied. The top genius truly lived up to his reputation. With this type of method, how many people could contend against him? This was a heavenly tribulation that wasn't something a normal person could contend against!
The golden lion was fearless. It towered above the arena, its nine heads shining at the same time. It opened its enormous mouth, roaring loudly. At the same time, a symbol shot out from each head's mouth.
Nine golden symbols were engraved in the void. They shone brilliantly, releasing a wave of powerful aura. It was as if nine deities descended into this world!
"Kill!" The Nine-Headed Lion shouted. Those nine symbols linked together, turning into a golden belt of light and rushing into the tribulation clouds, destroying everything!
The lightning all collapsed and was destroyed. Nine symbols flickered about, turning into an undying killing formation. Clanging sounds rang out, suppressing and killing everything.
Whoosh!
The Black Cloud Race's genius revealed his original form. There were several bloody holes that went through his body. Then, his body exploded, and he died in the sky.
The golden lion said coldly, "Even someone like you wants to summon my sworn brother and find trouble with him. You're so ignorant!"
Everyone was stupefied. It was rumored that this golden lion had previously been Shi Hao's mount, carrying him in a great slaughter within the Hundred Shattering Mountains. Right now, it had wiped out the geniuses of the powerful clans outside this region.
"I'll stake it all against you!" Right at this time, the cry of that "crow" came from the sky as if it were flustered and exasperated.
During these years, the golden lion obtained great natural luck, which was why it was extremely powerful and underwent astonishing transformations. As for the big red bird, even though it also improved greatly, it still couldn't compare to the opponent and almost lost.
It was never a kind creature. When it flapped its wings again, it erupted with blazing dark light. A streak of heaven-reaching sword radiance hacked out, cutting that fiery red vicious bull in half at the waist!
Blood splashed out with a thump, and two halves of that vicious bull's body fell.
"This… what is going on?!" Many people were shocked.
"You are still far off from fighting me!" The big red bird cried out. However, it lacked confidence and secretly put away a black broken sword. That was the holy object that Heaven Mending Sect's Ghost Grandpa gave Shi Hao. After entering this manor, the bird took it from Shi Hao and used it to protect itself.
The scene was completely silent. Everyone's minds were shaken.
Shi Hao never showed himself, yet the Nine-Headed Lion he had previously ridden and the bird he raised swept through everything for him. This was horrifying!
Just how powerful was he himself? A single demonic bird and vicious beast could intimidate everyone!
Shi Hao didn't come out, but the beast displayed its might, making all the experts feel intimidated.
"Very well. The one who injured my Immortal Mountain's descendant, is that Shi Hao? Regardless of which family he's from, he must be severely punished!" A middle-aged man from the Immortal Mountain said coldly. Even though his aura had already been restrained, he was still as terrifying as a prehistoric ancient beast.
