<h4>Chapter 108 - ming Golden Lion!</h4>
Category 1 ck-tier beasts were verymon in the Human Core Area of the Heavenly Martial Realm. asionally, he encountered Category Two beasts, but Category Three ones proved to be more difficult to find.
These beasts tended to stay in their own territories, and Long Chen’s current location coincidentally had a sparse poption. He had no choice but to change his search area, heading towards a direction that Ling Xi pointed to.
During this time, he didn’t encounter even one team. “The Turquoise family is conducting a training exercise, so at least the Human Core area is empty. Since there are only eight teams in such a huge ce, it’s normal not to see them.
“This also means that they haven’t found the Heart Eater yet. Otherwise, the exercise would be over by now, and other people would’ve swarmed this ce. If that happened, there would be more people here.”
The Heavenly Martial Realm was as big as Lingwu City. The ce where Long Chen lived in the Turquoise family was just a tiny piece of it.
After walking for approximately half a day, Long Chen arrived at a deste desert. There were much fewer trees around, and only a few cacti could be seen when he looked around. “On top of a forest, there’s even a desert in a small ce like the Heavenly Martial Realm,” Long Chen praised.
He walked for a while, and he felt his surroundings grow hotter and hotter. “Xiao Xi, I don’t think there will be any beasts in a ce like that. Even if there are, they won’t be Category Three ck-tier beasts.”
“Let’s walk a bit further.”
Long Chen had no choice but to carry on under Ling Xi’s request. Soon, they spotted a crater in the sand, and Ling Xi quickly made him stop.
“What’s the matter?”
She whispered excitedly, “Look at the lowest part of the sand. There’s a beast hiding there. It’s probably sunbathing and cultivating at the same time ...”
Long Chen walked forward for a long time and finallyy on his stomach on the ground. He gazed at the lowest point of the crater, and his eyes lit up with surprise. “Isn’t that ... a Category Three ck-tier ming Golden Lion?”
At the bottom of the crater was a huge, lion-type demonic beast, the ming Golden Lion. It was ten meters long, currently lying on the ground. If it stood up, it would be taller than the average house.
It was covered in golden fur and had a dense mane on its neck. It looked majestic, a faint, red, fiery glow radiated from its fur, and its eyes looked like two fireballs the size ofnterns. It was a terrifying beast that instilled fear in any onlooker.
“That’s indeed a ming Golden Lion. This beast’sbat capabilities are amongst the top of all Category Three ck-tier beasts.”
Long Chen did a brief calction. “This beast is almost on the same level as Feng Wutian. Whatever. I’ll use you to test out my zing Thunder Combat Body!”
After he’d made his decision, a burst of determination erupted through him.
He didn’t need to use his Dragon Soul Transformation when fighting Category Two ck-tier beasts, but an opponent as strong as the ming Golden Lion had to be dealt with in peak form.
Perfect dragon scales and spines emerged from his body. Now that he had be a zing Thunder Warrior, faint, flickering, red lightning and mes flew on his body at high speeds, radiating a chilling energy.
The blood-red image of the zing Thunder Crystal on his palm was the center point of the zing Thunder Power flowing within him.
“I’m much stronger than I was before. Just using this body, I think I can defeat a mid Human Core Realm cultivator. Plus, my Dragon Soul Qi now contains zing Thunder Power ...”
Long Chen was confident he could defeat the ming Golden Lion.
When hepleted his Dragon Soul Transformation and appeared not far in front of the ming Golden Lion, the beast finally noticed him!
It was initially resting with its eyes closed, but an annoying little guy had trespassed into its territory so disrespectfully. It raged instantly.
It was the king of this territory; how dare a nameless ant cross him on itsnd? It mbered up on its feet and red down at Long Chen. Angry mes slowly rose from its body.
Although Long Chen was tiny, there was a strange quality to his body that invoked some fear in the ming Golden Lion.
Lions were usually kings, but Long Chen was more royal than this king.
“Roar!”
It unleashed a mighty roar, and when all four of its limbsnded on the ground, it sprung powerfully. A huge killing intent was now locked on Long Chen, who was charging towards the lion. The man and the lion, hugely different in sizes, collided mid-air. The fiery energy the beast emitted charged at Long Chen manically!
“Do you think I’m afraid of mes like yours when I have the zing Thunder Combat Body?!”
He smirked, and despite the mes that towered over him, he charged into the fire. A storm of attacks rained down on the ming Golden Lion!
Using his zing Thunder Body and boosted by his Dragon Soul Qi, Long Chen exploded in one swift attack! “Primordial Dragon Seal!”
The image of a dragon was sted towards the lion, who was shocked that Long Chen dared to charge directly into its mes. However, that was not enough to frighten it, though its chest tightened when it saw Long Chen’s Primordial Dragon Seal!
There was now powerful, blood-colored lightning erupting within the Primordial Dragon Seal. The image of the blood-colored dragon was now decorated with blood-red mes. Even the ming Golden Lion dared not be careless in the face of such a scary attack!
“Roar!”
It unleashed a deafening roar, opening its gigantic jaws. A gigantic, bright, red fireball more than one meter in diameter wasunched directly at Long Chen’s Primordial Dragon Seal!
<i>Boom</i>!
The Primordial Dragon Seal collided with the fireball, and a powerful force rippled in all directions. Sand and dust were thrown up into the air! “This animal could neutralize my Primordial Dragon Seal with just one fireball. Indeed, it is not a simple animal!”
In terms of volume, Long Chen’s Qi was many times lesser than the ming Golden Lion. However, theirbat abilities were simr because it was more concentrated!
He also sensed that the ming Golden Lion was his strongest opponent so far! “After generations and generations of fighting, demonic beasts have long evolved their own fighting techniques. Even a casual attack from them is as powerful as abat technique. Furthermore, that gigantic fireball just now seemed to be an attack that it has mastered!”
Although he hadunched the Primordial Dragon Seal reinforced with zing Thunder Power, it had been defeated. Long Chen hadn’t given up yet. Turning into a gust of red wind, he charged at the ming Golden Lion once more!
The lion was also nervous when it saw how fast the tiny human was. In terms of agility, Long Chen was a few times quicker than it. It unleashed several angry roars, and at least ten fireballs were hurled violently at Long Chen!
Startled, he quickly used the Nine Heavens Dragon Step. His agile body turned into an illusion, brushing past every single fireball. The burning mes caused him some damage, but not enough to kill him!
When thest fireball arrived, Long Chen could not dodge it at all, so he had no choice but to use the Primordial Dragon Seal once more!
<i>Boom!</i>
The fireball exploded, and Long Chen shot through the thick smoke like a blood arrow, dashing at the ming Golden Lion!
Demonic beasts were typically very strong, much stronger than cultivators.
The ming Golden Lion was even more infuriated that Long Chen dared fight it at such close range. It suddenly swiped its ws, which were harder than steel!
Long Chen did not back down though. He had just broken through the fireball and was now faced with a paw that resembled a mountain falling on himself. He felt suffocated instantly!
“I have the zing Thunder Body! Do you think I’m afraid of you?”
A fist and the paw collided, and both man and beast were sted backwards by the impact. The lion was shocked that a tiny ant like Long Chen could block its paw with just the strength in his body!
This angered the lion even more!
“Roar!”
The gigantic beast pounced on Long Chen! “You’re so slow! Yet you want to fight me at close range?!”
He smirked and unleashed the Nine Heavens Dragon Step, quickly slithering between the beast’s legs.
Admittedly, the lion’s mes were unbearable to him!<i> The Burning Devil Sun Fist is fundamentally fire, and my Qi also currently contains fire energy. I wonder how powerful my Burning Devil Sun Fist could be if I use it now?</i>
With that thought, Long Chen simultaneously dodged the lion’s furious attacks and started to use the Burning Devil Sun Fist. “This fight is causing a hugemotion. It’s time to end it once and for all!”
During the fight against the ming Golden Lion, Long Chen had slowly learned the extent of the zing Thunder Combat Body’s capabilities. He also had zing Thunder Power in his Qi now. However, the ming Golden Lion was considered a powerful presence amongst all the Category Three ck-tier beasts in terms of physical strength and demonic power!
Being equal to this lion in terms of physical strength and Qi was extremely hard for an initial Human Core Realm cultivator like Long Chen!
There seemed to be no limit to the number of fireballs that could be emitted from the lion’s body. At this point, the whole desert was filled with craters from the barrage of fireballs. Sand and dust were thrown in the air, decreasing the visibility. Long Chen kept it busy as he moved around at close range! “ming Golden Lion, all of this ends here!”
This time, Long Chen slithered out from beneath its belly. The ming Golden Lion locked on his position and shot out seven or eight fireballs!
Long Chen was burning with blood-red mes, and a blood-red fireball was quickly forming on his fist. When the lion shot out the fireballs, he roared and punched! “Burning Devil Sun Fist, zing me!”
A blood-red, fiery Fist Seal shot out immediately, and there was a faint, human face in the Burning Devil Sun Fist!
The gigantic Fist Seal shattered the lion’s fireball and hit it squarely on the head!
<i>Boom! </i>
