1273: C1273 The Stone Temple

C1273 The Stone Temple

In that instant, a fierce aura spread from the golden lion's body and formed ripples that could be seen with the naked eye that swept across the entire stone palace.

At this instant, the surrounding walls started to tremble, and cracks started to appear.

These cracks soon covered the entire stone palace like a spider web.

The next instant, the stone palace collapsed and dust started to rise.

Strong auras swept across the stone palace like hurricanes and created giant waves.

"Hmm?"

Zhou Yan swept his gaze across the hall and could not help but frown slightly.

At this moment, in the stone hall, the golden lion's clothes were stained with blood. Its body was bent, and its hair was disheveled. Blood flowed out from the corner of its mouth, making it look extremely miserable.

However, the golden lion's aura was still as fierce as before. It was as if a desolate beast had woken up, and it was cruel, cruel, and bloodthirsty.

Even though he was heavily injured, he didn't retreat or fear at all. His eyes were still cold and filled with killing intent.

It was obvious that the golden lion had the upper hand in the clash just now and wasn't injured.

"Hehe, little bastard, you've indeed made me look at you in a new light."

The golden lion snickered coldly as his eyes squinted and gave off a dangerous aura, "But you want to defeat me with just that? You're still far away."

"Is that so?" Zhou Yan's expression was calm as he said indifferently, "Then try this again..."

As he spoke, Zhou Yan reached his hand to his waist.

Under everyone's puzzled gazes, Zhou Yan took out a jade pendant and held it between his fingers.

Immediately after, Zhou Yan circulated his cultivation technique and poured his true essence into the jade pendant. A ray of light suddenly appeared and illuminated the void.

In the next moment, the light disappeared and the jade pendant returned to its original state.

"Shua!"

A black bronze mirror appeared out of nowhere. The surface of the mirror was smooth, and it gave off weird beams of light that stabbed into the golden lion's eyes like a sharp sword.

"Not good!"

The golden lion's Divine Sense instantly started to hurt, and it felt as if its head was being stabbed by needles. It couldn't help but hold its head and howl as its face turned white.

"What the hell is this?"

The golden lion exclaimed as sweat started to appear on its forehead and its heart started to race. If it could, it would rather run away.

A light suddenly flashed across the surface of the mirror, and a wisp of cold air caused the air to freeze.

"Not good!"

The golden lion's expression changed dramatically as a surge of coldness surged toward him and froze his heart.

The next second, a crisp sound sounded.

The next instant, a layer of ice formed into a sharp spear.

The spear pierced through the air like a venomous snake and easily pierced through the golden lion's throat, leaving behind a trail of blood.

The golden lion's eyes bulged out as it looked down at its neck. Its eyes bulged out and its lips trembled as it revealed an expression of disbelief.

The next instant, the golden lion's body became stiff, and it fell to the ground. It had lost all signs of life and died.

"Gulp!"

On the side, the guards and maids were so scared that their faces turned pale.

This scene was too shocking!

Zhou Yan's strength was actually so terrifying!

"Humph!"

Zhou Yan put away the bronze mirror and swept his gaze across everyone indifferently. He snorted coldly and said, "The few of you, quickly get rid of him."

"Yes, sir!"

Hearing that, everyone around respectfully agreed. They immediately walked forward and dragged the corpse away from the stone hall.

They didn't dare to be slow when it came to the golden lion's corpse.

At the same time, Zhou Yan looked at the Golden Lion's corpse and could not help but suck in a breath of cold air.

"The Golden Lion is an expert of the Martial Ancestor Realm and possesses extraordinary strength. How did he become so weak?"

Zhou Yan's eyes flickered as he thought to himself, "Could it be that the potential of this body that I have devoured has been exhausted?"

The golden lion was a Martial Ancestor expert with terrifying strength and astonishing combat strength. Zhou Yan originally thought that this body had to be at the peak of the Innate Realm to be able to withstand his True Yuan.

However, from the looks of it, things didn't seem to be as Zhou Yan had expected.

"Looks like this body has some secrets."

Zhou Yan pondered for a moment, then muttered to himself: "Perhaps, I need to change my body and continue cultivating the Celestial Emperor Scripture!"

Although the Golden Lion King Clan was one of the top royal families in the Martial Saint Continent, they had a deep foundation, a wealth of treasures, and countless resources piled up like a mountain.

However, in this world, the inheritance of a peerless expert was the most precious treasure.

Especially the Heaven Ranked Martial Arts, its value was enough to cause a storm of blood.

Therefore, even the Golden Lion King Clan would hold a bloodline baptism every thousand years to select outstanding direct descendants to enter the treasury and choose a Heaven Rank cultivation technique that suited them.

However, the value of a Heaven Rank technique was beyond doubt. Those who could enter the treasury to choose a technique were few and far between.

Although the Golden Lion King Family had three thousand royal families and a large population, they could only barely gather five hundred people.

"Since I've decided to possess you, I should be prepared."

Zhou Yan's eyes were filled with determination as he said in a deep voice, "Although Heaven Rank Martial Arts are rare, it's not like there's no hope of obtaining them."

The owner of this body was once a formidable person who had left behind many legacies, including the Celestial Emperor Scripture.

"According to the description in my memories, there are a total of seven Heaven Grade techniques."

Zhou Yan thought to himself, "However, the cultivation technique that I cultivate is called the 'True Primal Chaos Scripture', which I accidentally obtained from an ancestor's cave."

The True Primal Chaos Scripture belonged to the Top Grade of the Mystic Rank, and its power was shocking.

However, among the Top Grade Mystic Rank techniques, it was at the bottom and couldn't be ranked at all.2

Therefore, it was not difficult for Zhou Yan to cultivate it, and he quickly mastered the True Primal Chaos Scripture.

However, the True Primal Chaos Scripture was only a superficial body tempering technique, so Zhou Yan naturally looked down on it.

"When I break through to the Foundation Establishment Stage and cultivate the Celestial Emperor Scripture, I will definitely be much stronger than this trashy cultivation technique!" Zhou Yan said with anticipation.

"* Rumble! *"

Right at this moment, a deafening thunder erupted from Zhou Yan's body. It was as if a Heavenly Tribulation had descended, filling the depths of his soul and unable to dissipate for a long time.

Zhou Yan's heart skipped a beat. He hurriedly closed his eyes and tried his best to suppress this violent aura, so as to prevent himself from suffering a backlash.

After a long while.

Only then did the violent power of lightning gradually calm down.

"This is the lightning of the Foundation Establishment stage, tempering the bones and skin."

Zhou Yan opened his eyes and revealed a look of joy: "This body's aptitude is not bad. It actually has a Grade 4 fire attribute spirit body."

"Not bad."

Zhou Yan looked at the body and nodded slightly.

"Eh?"

Immediately after, Zhou Yan raised his eyebrows as he noticed a ball of bright purple light in the Dantian of this body.

This ball of purple light was extremely strange.
