C1272 Greed Filled His Eyes
He saw that this area had been carved into a circle, and there were a large number of rare treasures placed inside. The spiritual energy was abundant, and it was obviously a Spirit Gathering Formation technique.
At this moment, a fiery red fruit was lying quietly in the array.
The fiery-red fruit was a fifth-grade Spiritual medicine. It was extremely effective for people who cultivated fire attribute cultivation techniques.
Furthermore, the enormous amount of energy contained within was enough for a martial artist at the Third Rank of the Innate Realm to break through the bottleneck and step into the Fourth Rank of the Innate Realm or even higher.
"The effect of this fiery fruit is comparable to a Grade Six Spiritual Pill, and it is what I want the most!"
Looking at the Flaming Fruit, Zhou Yan licked his lips and revealed a greedy look.
Without any hesitation, he raised his hand and grabbed towards the Flaming Fruit.
"Hu ~ ~"
However, right at this moment, the entire array suddenly lit up, and a blazing flame instantly swept in every direction.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
The stone room instantly exploded into pieces.
Immediately after, a terrifying fist force descended from the sky and smashed towards Zhou Yan. Unable to dodge in time, Zhou Yan had no choice but to endure the attack head on.
"Puchi!"
In an instant, blood gushed out from Zhou Yan's mouth as he was sent flying a few meters away. His sternum shattered as his ribs pierced through his skin, revealing a set of cold white bones.
"Hiss! What a domineering aura! Just a little bit more and I would have died!"
Zhou Yan endured the pain and raised his head to look in front of him. His pupils suddenly contracted as his heart beat rapidly in shock.
In the air in front of him, the golden lion stood proudly in the air. Its fists were clenched tightly, and its body was as tall as a mountain. Strands of golden flames surrounded its body.
"Hmm? It actually didn't die!?"
Seeing that Zhou Yan was still alive, the golden lion frowned. Its eyes were deep and revealed a serious expression.
The power of that punch was so great that even cultivators of the same cultivation would be instantly killed.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Yan actually blocked it!?
"Hehe, you are really lucky. As expected of the descendant of the Fire God Zhu Rong, your physique and endurance are much stronger than ordinary people."
The golden lion sneered and slowly walked over with an ice-cold gaze.
"However, with your current state, how can you possibly fight with me?"
Before he even finished speaking, the golden lion raised its right arm once more, and wisps of golden flames appeared on the tip of its fist. It was like a blazing sun that made one tremble in fear.
"Hmph! Since you want to kill me, I'll fight you with all my strength. What's wrong with that?"
The corner of Zhou Yan's mouth twitched as his expression turned sinister. His eyes revealed a hint of madness.
"Hahaha... Not bad! That's more like a man!"
The golden lion laughed towards the sky and said, "However, your strength is too weak. This emperor can crush you with just a finger. So, you don't need to struggle anymore. Just obediently admit defeat!"
Hearing that, Zhou Yan squinted his eyes and was silent for a moment. Then, he shook his head and sighed. With a look of disappointment on his face, he muttered to himself, "It seems that we are destined not to be fated."
Hearing this, the golden lion was stunned for a moment. Then, it laughed out of anger and scolded, "Bastard, are you courting death?! Today, I will beat you until your teeth are all over the ground and you will kneel down and beg for mercy!"
"Sigh... you misunderstood."
Zhou Yan smiled bitterly, shook his head, and said, "What I mean is that we are destined not to have any interactions."
"What do you mean?" The golden lion was slightly startled.
"Because..."
Zhou Yan raised his head, his eyes flashing with a bright light, and said indifferently: "You are about to die!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Yan's entire body burst out with the brilliance of the stars. A star map appeared behind him, and one bright star after another hung above it, releasing endless light that enveloped his entire body and emitted shocking power.
This was Zhou Yan's trump card!
The secret technique of the Stellar Sacred Clan - the Stellar Secret Technique - was an extremely powerful body refining technique.
When cultivated to the peak, one's body would become as hard as iron, impenetrable by all evil, and possess the power to destroy everything.
"Hmm?"
Sensing Zhou Yan's change, the golden lion's gaze froze. It vaguely sensed that something was wrong and immediately activated the spiritual energy in its body, preparing to defend against the attack.
"Kill!"
However, Zhou Yan did not give it a chance at all.
Rumble!
With a stomp of his foot, Zhou Yan soared into the sky like a falling star. Carrying a terrifying force, he charged over.
"Not good!"
The golden lion's expression changed drastically as it cursed in its heart.
"Boom!"
In that instant, Zhou Yan's fist descended and drowned the golden lion within.
"Bam!"
The next instant, the golden lion's protective spiritual armor exploded, and its chest caved in as it spat out a mouthful of blood. It was as if it had been hit by lightning as it was sent flying more than a dozen yards away and landed on the ground.
"Bam!"
The golden lion lay on the ground and coughed out blood as it trembled. Its face was extremely pale, and its body was covered in wounds.
"Damn bastard, how dare you ambush me?"
The golden lion's eyes were about to pop out of their sockets as it gritted its teeth and said. It wanted nothing more than to cut Zhou Yan into a thousand pieces and grind his bones into dust.
A dignified Martial King expert, the monarch of the Golden Lion Nation, had actually lost to a trash at the ninth layer of the Body Tempering Realm. It was simply too shameful.
"Hehe, do you think you're the only one who knows how to sneak attack?!"
Zhou Yan sneered as his eyes filled with killing intent.
"* Swoosh! *"
With that, Zhou Yan threw out another punch, which was like a storm, towards the golden lion. Every punch was able to tear through the air and create crackling sounds.1
In an instant, a series of muffled sounds lingered in the air.
As these punches landed, the golden lion's protective spiritual armor cracked again and again before finally shattering completely.
Arghh! the golden lion howled and spat out a mouthful of blood. He no longer had any dignity.
"Damn little bastard, stop!"
The golden lion roared, and its eyes were filled with killing intent.
"Stop? Dream on!"
The corner of Zhou Yan's mouth curled up slightly as he sneered and threw out another heavy punch.
"Bam!"
With a muffled sound, the golden lion's protective armor was pierced through once again. A huge hole appeared on its body as dark red blood flowed out.
"Ah ~ ~ ~"
Miserable screams kept on sounding, and the golden lion's face was twisted with fear.
He could already feel that the true essence in Zhou Yan's body was as vigorous as the sea. It had completely surpassed the ninth layer of the Body Tempering Realm, and had even faintly reached the level of a Martial Master.
"Brat!"
"Who the hell are you?!"
The Golden Lion gritted his teeth with a face full of anger.
The speed at which Zhou Yan's cultivation increased was far too unbelievable. It did not make sense at all. There must be something wrong!
"Hehe...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"You're asking me? I was just about to ask you."
Zhou Yan sneered and said, "You don't know that in my world, you are just a lowly slave, not to mention a stupid pig."
"You're courting death!"
After saying that, the golden lion flew into a rage and roared: "A mere ant dares to humiliate my dignity! I will definitely skin you alive and destroy your soul!"
As he spoke, the golden lion glared at Zhou Yan. Every word was like thunder, shaking the surroundings and filled with endless killing intent.
