Chapter 123 - Divine Cave (1/2)

Naturally, the Nine-Headed lion was extremely furious. Its bloodline was noble since it was a descendant from an extremely powerful lineage. Who would dare to stand in its way other than a reincarnation of an ancient deity!

Golden rays of light erupted, dying the grass in gold. It shook its head and flailed its tail while symbols densely covered its body as it fiercely struggled. It wanted to kill this human youth.

However, the little guy grabbed its mane and sat upright on top of it like a motionless boulder. It was as if he had combined with the lion, and was merely growing on top.

“If you struggle more, I’ll actually eat you!” The little guy carefully warned.

“Kill!”

The Nine-Headed Lion fought for its life; naturally, it did not want to surrender. The symbols from inside its body gushed outwards with indiscriminate killing intent, because it wanted to force the little guy off its back.

Soundlessly and breathlessly, the prayer beads reappeared. Every single bead was sparkling and translucent like a small world lingering with hazy mist in order to suppress the little guy. At the same time, those nine golden fangs transformed into flying swords that hacked right at the little guy’s head.

Qiang

The golden bone shears lightly rang, and the Suan Ni’s precious mirror also shone. They blocked those two precious artifacts as they fiercely clashed.

The little guy was angry, and he no longer relented. He grabbed its golden mane with one hand, and his other hand formed a fist that was going to strike its head. Golden light exploded outwards as dazzling as an erupting volcano, making the entire atmosphere in the area surge.

Aoo...

The golden lion painfully cried out with its hissing voice. One of its heads was beaten into a blood mess, and it almost split apart.

“Human child, you’re making me angry!”

The Nine-Headed Lion furiously roared. Every single one of the golden hairs over its body stood erect; it looked quite intimidating. One of its heads rapidly grew larger to the point that it was actually several times larger than it had been. It looked like a millstone with dazzling golden light around it.

“Junior, becareful!” Behind him, one of his Heaven Mending Pavilion’s senior brothers warned him that the Nine-Headed Lion was going to self-destruct.

The little guy lightly gasped, then rose into the air off the lion’s back. He really did not want to meet a mutual death with his opponent.

However, what shocked people was that the swelling lion head rapidly shrunk back into its original state. Furthermore, that Nine-Headed Lion was activating its precious artifact in order to strike the little guy who was in mid-air.

“That spiteful deformed lion!” The little guy coldly grunted with a hiss out of his mouth. His entire body transformed into an ocean of thunder and lightning as golden lightning danced in the air. Even his hair turned gold like a resplendent nova.

“Go away!”

He withdrew the shears which counteracted the prayer beads into order to use it to hack the Nine-Headed Lion. At the same time, he used his own supreme precious technique that controlled lightning to resist against that string of prayer beads.

Hong

The little guy appeared sparkling and translucent as he used his precious technique to defend himself. Resisting those nine incredibly dazzling prayer beads was like trying to defend against an entire world. He was so shaken that a trace of blood appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Everyone was in incredible shock and awe. How powerful was the body of this human youth? He was unexpectedly evenly matched and able to contend with those prayer beads when he used his precious technique.

At the same time, the golden shears were very effective. They transformed into two Flood Dragons, rapidly swooping downwards.

Its two tails tangled together as it emitted the hisses of dragons. It cut through the air and rapidly chop down.

The golden lion was in dismay, and quickly dodged, but it was still too late. Two pu pu sounds echoed through the air as two of its heads on the left were chopped off. Fresh blood violently gushed out as they dropped to the floor.

“Ahh…” It emitted a world-shaking howl. It was brimming with reconciliation and fear. It withdrew its precious artifact, and quickly retreated.

Pu, pu

Another two soft noise occurred as blood rushed ten feet into the air. Another two golden lion heads dropped to the floor, and the golden lion sadly howled. Its two heads furthest on its right were cut off by the shears.

It wasn’t as heaven defying as the little guy. It was unable to defend itself against the Flood Dragon shears with its own precious technique.

This was because regardless of if it were the golden shears or the golden prayer beads, they all far surpassed its own level. How could an ordinary being defend against them?

At this moment, the nine fangs flew flew back into the golden lion’s innards. The nine prayer beads shone as they appeared underneath its feet. Afterwards, as if it had been ignited, they turned it into a lump of light, and helped it rapidly retreat while sticking close to the ground.

“Where did it go. Leave my precious artifact behind. Give my lion head blood medicine back!”

The little guy shouted loudly. He stood on top of the pure white and shining bone mirror that flickered with multicolored light. He also left the ground and rapidly charged out. With a pair of golden shears in hand, he relentlessly chased after.

Many people were puzzled. Only the few disciples of the Heaven Mending Pavilion knew that what the little guy called his so-called precious artifact was precisely those two that belonged to the golden lion. In his mind, they were already his.

Everyone was shocked that the battle concluded like this. The Nine-Headed Lion suffered a crushing defeat, and the little guy was too powerful.

Huo Ling’er as well as ten other geniuses were incredibly apprehensive, and the Silver Blood Giant, Feather King as well as the other creatures were in fear. This human youth was too savage. He even defeated the Nine-Headed Lion, and wanted to eat it now, making them absolutely terrified.

As they reminisced about how they desired to take in this human youth as a battle slave, these creatures couldn’t help but tremble. This was truly courting death, since they were taking the initiative to provoke such a little devil king.

Everyone chased, since they wanted to witness the final result.

The golden lion was chased to the point that it couldn’t go to heaven nor earth. It could not shake off this savage human youth. Although his little face looked delicate and pretty, to the golden lion, the little guy seemed like an aggressive predator that descended from an evil beast with the intention of eating it.

Finally, it was forced to the point that it had no other choices. It escaped to a lofty and majestic mountain. Without any choices, it charged into a pitch black cave halfway up the mountain.

“The Nine-Headed Lion entered the Divine Cave!” The group of people cried out in surprise.

“Not good, we have to hurry inside as well. Otherwise, if it obtains the fortunes of deities by chance, it would be too late to regret,” shouted the Fire Nation’s little princess.

The Silver Blood Giant, Feather King, and the group of other creature were hesitant. They did not know whether to enter or not.

“Everyone, let’s work together!” Huo Ling’er said. Her umber brows pricked up as a hint of excitement overcame her sparkling snow white face. She knew fully well that this was the grave of a deity.

The little guy stopped in front of the divine cave, and did not actually enter. It was completely dark inside, and it was also incredibly deep. There were waves of whimpering echoing outwards as if spirits were weeping.

Furthermore at this moment, the sky was full of stars and the moon hung high in the sky. Under this type of night, this divine cave simply seemed like a devil cave, which made people feel fear.

“Rotten embryo, are you coming inside with us?” Huo Ling’er asked as she glanced at him with the side of her eyes.

“If I go inside, I want to make this Nine-Headed Lion yield and become my mount. There’s going to be a big ruckus,” the little guy honestly said.

Huo Ling’er resolutely refuted and said, “No, you can’t fight once we’re inside. You’ll stir up some forbidden powers. We have to combine our powers and explore together. This is the resting place of an ancient deity, there will be supreme treasures that she left behind here.”

“Then you owe me a mount,” the little guy said. At this moment, he retracted his golden lightning, withdrew his two precious artifact, and became completely relaxed.

“I don’t have one!” Fire Nation’s princess stared at him with her large eyes.

“Then I won’t go.” The little guy shook his head, and blinked his large eyes. He carefully warned and reminded, “I feel that this place is very strange. It makes me feel uneasy. It’s best that you don’t go inside. Stay outside, I’ll treat you to some simmered lion heads.”

“Coward!” Fire Nation’s princess furrowed her brows. She was convinced of the little guy’s power, and wanted him to follow her. However, after seeing him reject her so straightforwardly, she knew there was no choice.

In the end, Huo Ling’er lead over ten geniuses into the divine cave.

The Silver Blood Giant, Feather King, and a group of other creatures also followed, since they formed an alliance with the Fire Nation’s princess. Originally, they were hesitant, but after seeing the little guy grinding his teeth, this group of people’s scalps became numb. Who was the Archaic Descendant here? How could a human youth be so savage, and wanted to eat them?

This group of creatures were truly in fear. Even the powerful Nine-Headed Lion was defeated, so who amongst them could become his opponent? All of them were trembling, and did not dare to stay near him.

The few disciples of the Heaven Mending Pavilion did not go inside. As they traveled, they trusted the little guy more and more.

They kept watch from the outside.

“Junior brother, are you hurt?” A pretty senior disciple handed over a bottle of spirit medicine for him to use.

“It’s nothing. I’ll be fine after eating a meal. I only coughed a little bit of blood. That lion was truly difficult to deal with. It surpassed my initial expectations.” The little guy shook his head.

These people were all speechless. How could it only be difficult? The Nine-Headed Lion was absolutely a top-notched ranking creature, yet you managed to chop off four of its golden heads. If news of this spread, it would certainly instill a huge wave.

“Dinner time!” The little guy was delighted as saliva spilled out of his mouth.

The four golden lion heads were carried over by the three senior brothers. There was no stench at all; on the contrary, it had an obvious sweet fragrance. It was clearly visible how powerful of a medicinal effect that its flesh had.

A river flowed by the mountains. After a bit of handling, the lion heads were washed clean, and they stacked up near a cauldron by the shores.

“Junior brother you… Are truly completely prepared.” The seniors from Heaven Mending Pavilion had a strange look on their faces.

No wonder his satchel was so heavy. There was actually a miniature cauldron inside. It genuinely seemed as if he was moving, since everything that should be there was there.

“Cauldron cooked lion heads are the best. An iron pot isn’t thick enough,” the little guy said.
