Qingfeng Li flicked his right index and middle fingers forward, sending out a plume of Golden Flames. With the grace of a dancing butterfly, but the speed of lightning, the flames drew an arc in the air and flew toward the Golden Lion Demon Monarch.
At this, the Demon Monarch’s expression changed. His own Soul Power was formidable, and so he naturally felt the terrifying heat contained within the golden flame. He knew that this was a saint-level flame and that no matter how tough his body was, it could not withstand such a thing.
The Golden Lion Demon Monarch channeled his demon essence and, kicking off the ground with his right foot, he took to the air. He was trying to escape into the Void. However, the golden flame was far too quick. Like a flash of lightning, it shot into the Demon Monarch’s leg in an instant.
The Golden Lion Demon Monarch saw the golden flame burning on his leg and felt a stinging pain. It was like there was a massive furnace there, trying to melt his muscle and bones.
Unable to bear the excruciating pain coming from his leg any further, the Golden Lion Demon Monarch let out an agonized howl. The howl shook both heaven and earth, leaving a massive hole in the sky as a testament to his pain.
The Golden Lion Demon Monarch’s eyes were filled with fear. He watched as the golden flame spread to his knee, and then further up his thigh.
If he didn’t extinguish golden flame quickly, his entire body would likely be consumed by the fire.
However, the golden flames were saint level flames and would not be extinguished easily. As a Demon Monarch, the Golden Lion Demon Monarch was a decisive individual. He knew when he had to cut his losses.
Abruptly, the Golden Lion Demon Monarch drew out a large blade and swung it at its left leg, severing it at the base of the thigh.
The severed leg was quickly reduced to nothing by the golden flames, but the Golden Lion Demon Monarch had survived.
The Demon Monarch stood, steadying himself with his hands. His eyes were filled with agony as blood gushed from his wound.
He took out a healing elixir and quickly consumed it. This was a monarch level elixir, and its effect was immediate. As soon as it swallowed the elixir, the Demon Monarch’s wounds stopped bleeding.
After he had taken the first elixir, he took out another. The demon stuffed this into his mouth as well. This elixir turned into a torrent of demon essence, providing the user with endless power.
When the Golden Lion Demon Monarch had fully recovered, he raised his head, glaring at Qingfeng Li with eyes filled with hatred. He wanted to cut him in half.
But Qingfeng Li stood in place, his expression calm as he regarded the Golden Lion Demon Monarch, not intimidated in the slightest.
To anyone else, the Golden Lion Demon Monarch might have been a powerful foe. But since Qingfeng Li had learned the Sky-Breaking Halberd’s second stance and broke through to the fifth level of spirit monarch realm, he was not afraid in the least.
If the Golden Lion Demon Monarch hadn’t just cut off his own left leg, the golden flames would definitely have killed it. After all, be it a self-cultivator or demonic beast, few could withstand the power of a saint-level flame.
To the other side, Black Puppy and Sky-Devouring Snake had wounded both the Green Fire Demonic Wolf and the Black Lurker Demonic Snake. The former was in a particularly pitiful state. It had been blinded, one of its limbs were broken, and there was a large hole where its heart was.
Finally, it was Black Puppy who thrust its paw into the Green Fire Demonic Wolf’s heart, killing it. Seeing that its companion had defeated its opponent first, Sky-Devouring Snake was disgruntled.
However, Sky-Devouring Snake quickly opened its mouth and spat out a black and white vortex, killing the Black Lurker Demonic Snake as well.
The Golden Lion Demon Monarch watched as his two powerful subordinates were slaughtered by Black Puppy and Sky-Devouring Snake. His heart was filled with rage.
Unfortunately, right now the Demon Monarch was heavily wounded itself. He could only direct his hate toward Qingfeng Li. After all, the two demonic beasts were Qingfeng Li’s followers.
Black Puppy turned to Qingfeng Li, asking, “You want us to go kill this golden furball for you?”
Qingfeng Li shook his head. “Not at the moment,” he said, “I can kill it myself. The two of you just stay there and watch.”
Qingfeng Li walked toward the Golden Lion Demon Monarch. With every step, he left a massive crack in the ground. Even the earth itself couldn’t withstand Qingfeng Li’s immense weight.
Qingfeng Li’s figure was like a towering mountain. Every muscle, every drop of blood, along with his bones and tendons, all held a terrifying weight.
Sensing the killing intent radiating from Qingfeng Li, the Golden Lion Demon Monarch knew that, in this battle today, only one of them would walk away alive.
The Golden Lion Demon Monarch knew that he must use his most powerful trump card, the power of its bloodline. Otherwise, it would never be able to kill Qingfeng Li.
The man was a damn monster. Especially the Sky-Breaking Halberd he held, it had to be a saint level treasure. And the golden flames… Each one of these was an ultimate treasure. Even the Golden Lion Demon Monarch, a powerful Demon Monarch in the Mystic Sun Realm, didn’t have such powerful treasures.
“Golden Saint Lion Bloodline!” the Golden Lion Demon Monarch roared as it activated its bloodline power.
Over the Demon Monarch’s head, there appeared the phantom of a massive golden lion, fully seventy thousand feet tall.
This image came from the Ancient Universe Era’s Time River. It was so massive that it obscured the entire sky.
Each strand of its golden fur stood straight as a needle, piercing bubbles into the Void. Moreover, the beast had nine heads. It stood there, mighty and majestic, embodying a terrifying force.
At this moment, all around them, demonic beasts fell trembling the ground, prostrating themselves as though they were before a god. This nine-headed lion, was a saint-level demonic beast from the Ancient Universe Era.
No one had thought that the Golden Lion Demon Monarch would have awakened the power of his ancestors. What’s more, he was actually able to use its ancestral bloodline, the Golden Saint Lion Bloodline. This gave it a hint of saint level energy. the demonic beasts gathered here were naturally unable to resist it.
Only three figures remained upright, Qingfeng Li, Black Puppy, and Sky-Devouring Snake.
Qingfeng Li had his own bloodline power. This came from the Dragon Blood, which came from the ancestor of all demonic beasts, hailed as the chief of the Ten Great Godly Beasts. A mere nine-headed golden lion couldn’t pressure him in the least.
Black Puppy was the Dog Ancestor, and Sky-Devouring Snake was the Snake Ancestor. They were both the first of their kind to appear in all of existence. As such, they were also unafraid of the Golden Saint Lion’s saint level aura.
Right now, the Golden Lion Demon Monarch was consumed by his rage. He was like a living volcano, about to erupt at any moment.
He hadn’t even noticed how calm Qingfeng Li and the two demonic beasts were. He didn’t even notice that the three weren’t kneeling on the ground.
If the Golden Lion Demon Monarch would have taken a moment to think, he would have realized that Qingfeng Li’s bloodline power was no weaker than its own. However, as it was, the Golden Lion Demon Monarch was blinded by hatred. He wanted only to kill Qingfeng Li, and so he used the bloodline of his ancestors.
The Golden Lion Demon Monarch gave an echoing roar as he propelled the nine-headed saint lion phantom over his head, emitting a torrential aura of intimidation.
