Chapter 164 - Advanced King LevelThe Jade-Eyed Red Flame Lion"s unyielding arrogance did not intimidate the heavenly thunder. The tribulation clouds in the sky continued to churn as they brewed the last of the "Terminator Thunder"!
This thunder tribulation was the greatest obstacle for all general level Cloud Beasts to break through to the king level. Many powerful Cloud Beasts managed to survive the first two stages of the thunder tribulations, but they were ultimately struck by the third!
At this moment, the tribulation clouds in the sky howled, attracting the power of the clouds in all directions. The entire cloud was now twice as large!The strange thing was that the lightning that had been inside the tribulation cloud suddenly dimmed, as if it no longer had that l.u.s.ter from before!
However, the oppressive aura within the tribulation cloud, which would cause one"s heart to tremble, had undoubtedly grown exponentially.
Even though Xiang Yun and the giant beast were hiding a few kilometers away, Xiang Yun still felt an unbearable pressure. If it weren"t for the fact that he was using his Turtle-Breath Technique, he was truly afraid that he wouldn"t even be able to breathe!And the huge beast underneath him was the same. Under the nourishment of the third thunder tribulation, its ma.s.sive body was actually slightly trembling. It was clear that it was extremely afraid of the "Life-Extermination Thunder"!
In the sky, the final bolt of skythunder unceasingly gathered its power, while the Jade-Eyed Red Flame Lion below kept its head held high. Despite its rebellious gaze, Xiang Yun could still feel the nervousness and heaviness in its heart!
At this moment, the Jade-Eyed Crimson Flame Lion"s body was taut. Its body was as tough as cast iron. Even though it was severely injured, the Jade-Eyed Crimson Flame Lion"s aura was still strong!
The atmosphere was still and the air was heavy. At this moment, it was waiting for the moment that would decide its own fate!
After a long time …"Roar!"
"Chee chee!"
Suddenly, the sky shook and the lion roar shook the sky!
In the sky, a bolt of lightning as thick as a baby"s arm broke through the sky and descended!
This bolt of lightning was thinner than the first two bolts of heavenly lightning. However, it was somewhat extraordinary.
Unlike the first two bolts of silver light, this bolt of lightning was actually mixed with the black threads, appearing mottled and turbid. Its divine light was greatly reduced!
However, such a seemingly murky bolt of lightning actually contained a trace of a terrifying, destructive aura, not only supreme might, but also a terrifying aura!
"Roar!"
At this moment, the Jade-Eyed Red Flame Lion howled towards the sky, and a pillar of crimson fire as thick as a water tank shot up into the sky.
At the same time, a jade-green light blazed within its eyes as it shot up into the sky. With an aura that could destroy everything, it slammed into the heavenly lightning!
In the middle of the air, the pillar of fire and the jade-green light coalesced at the same time, converging to form a streak of crimson and jade green. The terrifying shockwave and the disproportionately fine lightning struck each other!
"Buzz!"
The moment the two came into contact, the void actually vibrated with a humming sound, and distorted spatial ripples rippled outwards!
The moment the slender bolt of lightning hit the shock wave, the top of the bolt of lightning actually emitted a blurry black light.
As soon as it collided with the black light, it seemed as if it had rushed into a bottomless pit. From the top, it silently disintegrated!
"Sizzle sizzle!"
A slight sound of electric currents could be heard as the Terminator Thunder could not be stopped and continued falling!
Seeing that the burning flames and the jade light that could cut through gold and broken jade had no effect, the Jade-Eyed Red Flame Lion was enraged. It raised its claws and actually formed two gigantic claws that were over a hundred feet long!
The Crimson Flame Lion brandished its claws, and like a death G.o.d"s scythe, it tore through the air, brazenly striking towards the divine lightning!However, the moment the giant claw made contact with the heavenly thunder, the latter directly pierced through the two claw shadows as if it were nothing, turning them into countless clouds energy dust!
The bolt of lightning struck the center of the Red-Eyed Red Flame Lion"s brows!
At this moment, the Jade-Eyed Red Flame Lion"s eyes finally revealed a hint of shock, but it was not afraid. Facing the terrifying bolt of lightning that had already arrived in front of it, it abruptly stepped its four feet on the ground around the deep pit and straightened its body!
"Ang!"
A strange roar came out from the mouth of the Jade-Eyed Scarlet Flame Lion. The fiery red threaded horn on the lion"s head suddenly released a dazzling radiance!
In the next moment, an incomparably sharp aura was released from within the horn. The aura pierced through the sky and reached the nine heavens!
As the roars grew louder and louder in its throat, like the drumbeats of tens of thousands of people or the evening drum for a morning bell, a strange purple flame rose from the originally red-hot horn!
The flame was not as violent as it seemed, it was only a small ball of flame that wrapped around the horn!
However, the moment the purple flames rose up, the surrounding s.p.a.ce started to warp and distort. In the next moment, Xiang Yun suddenly felt the temperature of the s.p.a.ce rise drastically, causing his entire body to feel scorching hot.
At the same time, the snow on the back of the giant beast melted at a speed several times faster than before!
"Whoosh!"
Suddenly, the Jade-Eyed Red Fiery Lion exerted force through its four claws, and once again leaped high into the air. The horn on its head brought along a frighteningly hot purple flame, which soared into the sky and collided with the heavenly thunder!At this moment, time seemed to freeze. Everything in the world seemed to become still!
Only the black mottled energy from the divine lightning and the purple colored horn intersected in the sky!
A black light and a purple flame, the two emitted a weak light. They intertwined in the air, and the purple flame was like a candle in the wind, on the verge of extinguishing.However, although the purple flames looked incomparably weak, when the mottled heavenly thunder struck the purple flames, they were dyed with a faint purple light. The originally mighty heavenly thunder was actually disintegrated like scorched wood!
The purple thunder that spanned several dozen feet was instantly reduced by half and was about to be incinerated into nothingness by the purple flames. Finally, the purple fire on the horn on the head of the Jade-Eyed Red Flame Lion was extinguished by the might of thunder.
The remaining heavenly thunder descended from the sky, directly striking the Scarlet Flame Lion"s horn!"Bam!"
That horn of extraordinary power exploded with a bang under the embrace of the heavenly lightning. It turned into flying ash with a handful of blood mist!"Roar!"
The Jade-Eyed Red Flame Lion let out a pitiful cry as it fell from the sky and landed heavily on the mountain peak once more. At this moment, its aura was so weak that it no longer existed!"Un, it"s over. Did it work?"
Xiang Yun looked at the scene in front of him, his heart filled with shock. He also couldn"t help but look forward to seeing just how successful this Jade-Eyed Red Flamed Lion was in becoming a King, or if its efforts had all been for naught.
As he watched, the Jade-Eyed Red Flame Lion"s aura completely dissipated. After a long time, Xiang Yun even felt that this Red Flame Lion had probably failed its tribulation and died.
The clouds and mist in the sky suddenly started roiling again!
Xiang Yun was shocked. Could it be that the thunder tribulation hadn"t ended yet? However, the following scene left him incomparably shocked.
In the sky, the tribulation cloud that was originally pitch-black turned for a moment. Then, at a speed visible to the naked eye, the cloud quickly turned pure white and emitted a pure white radiance!
"Roar!"At the same time, a weak and excited roar of a beast could be heard from the huge pit in the mountains. Without its horn, the scorched, black, azure-eyed Red Flame Lion staggered out of the huge pit step by step!
Staring at the clouds that were emitting white light, the Jade-Eyed Red Flame Lion"s eyes finally lost its arrogance. Although the l.u.s.ter in its dark green eyes was dim, it was still filled with excitement and ecstasy!
"Howl!"The Crimson Flame Lion let out an agitated whimper as it gazed at the clouds in the sky. Slowly, it opened its mouth, revealing a ghastly sight with a gush of blood.
"Buzz!"
Along with a flashing red brilliance, a sparkling crystal wrapped in flames slowly flew out of the Jade-Eyed Red Flame Lion"s mouth. It floated in front of the Jade-Eyed Red Flame Lion"s body!"This …" Xiang Yun"s heart stirred when he saw this scene, "Could this be its Cloud Beast Crystal!?"
The Cloud Beast Crystal that was condensed within the Cloud Beast"s stomach was the source of its power. The essence of its body was actually being spat out by the Jade-Eyed Red Flame Lion!
At the moment when this scarlet beast crystal flew out of the Jade-Eyed Red Flame Lion"s mouth, the tribulation cloud in the sky seemed to sense something. The cloud slowly opened and closed like the sky itself!In the next moment, a milky white brilliance fell from the sky, shining on that scarlet beast crystal!
The moment the white light shined on the Cloud Beast Crystal, it underwent a miraculous change.
On the surface of the Cloud Beast Crystal, the red hard outer sh.e.l.l actually slowly fell off. A pure white jade crystal, about the size of a thumb, floated in the air. It was l.u.s.trous, pure white like jade.
A purple flame quivered slightly inside the crystal, and the flame shook slightly. Then, the entire crystal was covered with a purple halo, and the outside of the crystal was wrapped in a layer of light purple flame!
"Roar!"
Upon seeing that its Cloud Beast Crystal had turned into a purple crystal, the Jade-Eyed Red Flame Lion roared excitedly!At this moment, the Jade-Eyed Scarlet Flame Lion"s eyes suddenly glowed with an intense green light. At the same time, its body also started to burn with purple flames!
On its head, what was originally a shattered horn had now grown a purple horn that was one size smaller than it was before!
At this moment, the Jade-Eyed Red Flame Lion had finally crossed the Terminator Bomb and advanced into a king level mystical beast. It had become the Jade-Eyed Red Flame Lion King!
Although the wounds on the Jade-Eyed Red Flame Lion"s body were still severe, as long as it swallowed the Cloud Beast Crystal and returned to its cave, it could sleep for a period of time. The moment it woke up would be the moment its strength would truly reach the level of a king!
Immediately, the Jade-Eyed Red Flame Lion opened its mouth once more and attempted to swallow the Cloud Beast Crystal back into its stomach.
However, something unexpected had happened!At this moment, Xiang Yun first felt his body shake violently, and the shadows around him flew outwards, a gust of wind almost sending him flying!
Xiang Yun grabbed onto the body of the giant beast, a piece of skin as protruding as rock. He looked around and was shocked to discover that he was already three hundred meters into the sky. The giant beast beneath him was quickly flying forward!Xiang Yun narrowed his eyes as he looked forward, immediately exclaiming in shock!
"What!"At this moment, the enormous beast had actually brought Xiang Yun with it as it charged towards the Jade-Eyed Red Flame Lion at the top of the mountain. More accurately speaking, it had rushed over, right in front of the Jade-Eyed Red Flame Lion.
"Roar!"The gigantic beast let out a heaven-shaking, earth-shattering roar of excitement. His brown eyes were filled with a greedy l.u.s.ter as he stared at the cloud beast crystal in the sky that was burning with purple flames!
At this moment, Xiang Yun finally understood what the purpose of this gigantic beast that had been running non-stop for days and nights, day and night, was!It was waiting for this moment. This was the moment when the Jade-Eyed Red Flame Lion succeeded in its advancement and spat out the Cloud Beast Crystal. This purple crystal was its true purpose!
