Chaotic Conceited God - C88
The principle behind the berserk lion’s self-detonation was to channel all the true energy in one’s body into their tough bones and flesh, causing them to explode!
Originally, the bones and flesh of the Fiery Fierce Lion were already filled with extremely strong energy, but at this moment, the extremely violent true energy rushed into the bones and flesh, causing them to be heavily burdened, finally detonating along with the flesh and bones.
For example, the bones and flesh of the lion were the shell of a bomb, true energy was the powder of explosives, and the will of the lion was the fuse!
At this time, the Fierce Lion of Golden Flame was already determined to die. It fused all of its incomparably thick Zhen Qi into its muscles and bones, causing it to be in an extremely unstable state. In the next moment, its entire body would explode, producing an astonishing energy!
“Your highness, the ninth prince, cannot!”
The officials behind Ming Xuan were anxious. How could they just sit by and watch as Ming Xuan endured the Gold Flame Lion’s self-detonation?
As he thought of this, he directly rushed towards Ming Xuan; no one dared to retreat.
However, it was too late for them to stop Ming Xuan. The lion’s body was twitching, and its body was obviously filled with true energy, reaching the critical point of exploding!
With a flick of his fingers, he stabbed at Jin Yan Shi’s chest, digging out his heart. At the same time, a burst of lightning burst out from his entire body, launching a lightning flash and retreating ten meters away. Thunder and lightning surged out from his entire body, enveloping his entire body.
At the same time, the lion’s body exploded, and golden flames shot up into the sky. An extremely high temperature scarlet golden heat wave swept across the area, scorching the already messy ground black!
As for those who had rushed over to rescue Ming Xuan, they were also confused and disoriented by this massive wave, and their bodies were wounded!
After all, this Fiery Golden Lion was a rank 10 Fierce Demon. Just now, it had ignited all the energy it had cultivated throughout its entire life. One could imagine its power.
At the center of the explosion, a huge mushroom cloud rose up and roasted the air. The high temperature caused irregular distortions in the air. At this moment, a figure retreated awkwardly and landed unsteadily on the ground. It was Ming Xuan.
Ming Xuan’s blue and gold dragon robe had been charred in many places. His neat and tidy hair was scattered about and looked messy. There were a few black spots on his handsome face. It was obvious that they had been burned by high temperatures.
If it weren’t for the fact that Ming Xuan had instantly used the Thunder Flash to increase the distance between them and used the power of thunder to form a shield in front of him, he would have been severely injured from the explosion.
Right now, he was only injured and his aura was in disorder. As long as a few days passed, he would be able to recover from his injuries.
On the contrary, he wore a smile on his face, because on his right hand, he was holding a giant, scarlet-gold heart that weighed at least 500 jins!
Flames burned above the pure gold heart, making it look like a magnificent giant gem. It looked very pleasing to the eyes!
The scarlet-gold heart contained an extremely violent and powerful energy. Just by standing dozens of meters away, one could feel an extremely hot air current drifting towards them.
The Fiery Golden Lion was a rank 10 Fierce Demon. The energy contained within its heart was the essence of its life. Not only did it possess frightening energy, it also carried a boundless and heavy life force.
If he could absorb it, not only would he be able to increase his strength, his life force would also be strengthened!
Ming Xuan was very satisfied. He even estimated that out of the nine hearts of the Nine Revolutions Blood Crystal, this one would have the greatest amount of energy.
He didn’t expect that the second Level 10 Fearful Heart he had painstakingly found would be so precious. Holding the heart in his hand, Ming Xuan was quietly admiring it. Deep in his eyes, an uncontrollable joy welled up.
When the crowd of officials saw this scene, they all calmed down. The expressions of the five peerless beauties, including Ye Xi, also relaxed.
The fact that Ming Xuan was fine and had even gotten his hands on a Level 10 Fearless Evil’s heart was too good to be true!
“Everyone, follow me back to base camp. After resting for five days, we’ll set off again.” Ming Xuan commanded the people around him.
“Yes sir!”
Ming Xuan was currently brimming with confidence. He was one step closer to condensing the Nine Revolving Blood Crystal. He might be able to successfully gather all nine hearts in half a year’s time!
“Whoosh!”
Suddenly, a black figure flew over at an incredible speed. Just as Ming Xuan was thinking about this, a gust of wind blew past him!
“Hmm?” Ming Xuan was slightly stunned. He saw a figure pass by him. Just when he wanted to see the figure clearly, suddenly … He noticed that his right palm seemed to have become lighter …
Ming Xuan realized something, and in the next instant, he looked at his right palm only to find that the magnificent scarlet-gold heart was gone!
Ming Xuan suddenly turned his head and saw a young man putting away the scarlet-gold heart into the storage device on his wrist. He then rushed out into the distance.
When Ming Xuan saw this figure, he was a little unfamiliar, but in the next moment, he finally recognized it!
Instantly, his expression became extremely gloomy!
“Ming Yu!”
When Ming Xuan shouted those two words, everyone stared in astonishment at the youth. When they clearly saw the youth’s face, they realized that this youth was Ming Yu!
When the lion had been defeated, Ming Yu had been waiting for an opportunity to make his move. However, when he sensed that the lion wanted to self-destruct, Ming Yu temporarily stopped.
In fact, at that time, Ming Yu thought it was a pity, because once the Fiery Golden Lion self-destructed, its heart would also not be able to protect itself.
However, what Ming Yu didn’t expect was that Ming Xuan would actually take the risk and steal the lion’s heart right before it exploded!
At that moment, Ming Yu rushed towards Ming Xuan without hesitation.
It was because of the violent explosion of the Fiery Golden Lion that no one had been able to catch their breath. With the damage to Ming Xuan’s blood and Qi, and with the fact that Ming Yu’s hidden patterns hadn’t disappeared, he had managed to sneak up on Ming Xuan and snatch the lion’s heart from him without anyone noticing.
As long as he obtained the heart of the lion, not only would Ming Yu be able to cultivate his Yin Yang Body, the speed at which Ming Xuan gathered all nine hearts would also slow down.
This was killing two birds with one stone!
How could Ming Xuan not be angry?
The rest of the people present also went crazy. The Gold Flame Lion that Ming Xuan had painstakingly obtained had now fallen into Ming Yu’s hands so easily. They definitely wouldn’t let Ming Yu off!
“Halt!”
Ming Xuan roared in rage. Lightning surged from his entire body as he charged towards Ming Yu, but …
Just as Ming Xuan was about to move, he discovered that he couldn’t move his legs because there were blue threads wrapped around his legs, like hair strands. The blue threads were actually climbing up, spreading, and tightly trapping him in place!
Ming Xuan’s eyes narrowed as he looked at Ming Yu with an incomparably cold gaze!
He knew that in that split-second, Ming Yu had already cast a kind of control type formation on him. It was because he had expended a lot of energy while fighting the lion, making it impossible for him to escape within a short period of time.
“Just stay there. Don’t move.” Mingyu cast a cold glance at Ming Xuan before she turned and flew off into the distance.
As Ming Xuan expected, just now Ming Yu had used a type of control type array symbol, and that symbol was precisely the Fallen Dream!
In the three days inside the Chaotic Demon Ridge, Ming Yu had already learned the chant and hand seal for the Fallen Dream. It was because of this that he was able to immediately activate the Fallen Dream and restrict Ming Xuan.
Not only that, but even the feet of Ming Xuan, Ming Wu, Mingyue Mingyue, Shen Zhenhou, and Xue Wehui started to glow with the ghostly blue threads of the Fallen Dream!
In fact, when the lion exploded, Ming Yu had already rushed out with the shock waves from the explosion. Under the cover of the heat wave, he used the Fallen Dream four times, locking the four of them in place.
The reason why Ming Yu didn’t restrict Ming Xuan at the first possible moment and only used it when he was close was because he didn’t want to alarm him. It was only when Ming Xuan was at his best opportunity to make a move!
It had taken Ming Yu a large amount of true energy to activate these five dreams of depravity, but even so, Ming Yu still had to do this because this was the only way to prevent them from attacking for a short period of time.
As for the others, with Ming Yu’s current strength, there was no need to be afraid.
With a flick of Ming Yu’s wrist, ten Origin Gathering Pills appeared in his hand and were swallowed into Ming Yu’s stomach. Moreover, he was constantly absorbing the Yuan Power between Heaven and Earth into Zhen Qi, frantically replenishing his energy.
Just now, Ming Yu had activated five Fallen Dreams in a single breath. The consumption of true essence was not small, and he needed to quickly recover. On the battlefield, any more energy meant an increase in ability to protect his own life!
“Swish!”
At this moment, twenty to thirty armored elite soldiers stood in front of Ming Yu. All of them were at the eighth level of the Transcending Mortality Stage, possessing the strength of over three thousand lions.
“Scram.”
However, Ming Yu did not retreat. Instead, she rushed forward!
After the tempering of the Scarlet Flame Bear, his physical strength had already reached the strength of 7,000 lions. He punched out, blasting the crowd away like a wolf into a flock of sheep. After which, he dashed forward once more.
Right at this time, the five imperial guards rushed forward, each of them striking out with their palms. Gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, these five kinds of palm prints overlaid each other, and shot towards Ming Yu.
These five Imperial Advisors were all at the peak of the eighth level of the Transcending Mortality Stage, and each one of them had the strength of seven thousand lions. With five palms added together, their might was immense.
Ming Yu didn’t even want to fight anymore, all he had to do was one word: run!
As a result, he activated Burning Blood, and all the strength in his body surged to the strength of more than eight thousand lions. He activated Shocking Cloud Steps and shot out like a cannonball, barely dodging the palm strike!
“Bastard!”
The five Imperial Advisors’ faces were flushed red. They never thought that this trash, Ming Yu, would not have any real skills, so he escaped faster than anyone else!
Aside from Ming Xuan and the others, who were temporarily restrained, Ming Xuan’s five wives and five generals, including Ye Xi, were all madly chasing after Ming Yu!
However, Ming Yu was running at a fast speed. Everyone’s killing moves were in the air, exploding on the stone ground. They didn’t even touch a corner of Ming Yu’s clothes!
Everyone felt a burst of anger in their hearts. Just what movement technique did this Ming Yu learn to have such a fast speed?
However, at this time, in a corner that no one paid attention to.
A purplish black figure, the corner of his mouth flashed with a dark and crazy sneer!
And he, was the Nether Master!
The moment he saw Ming Yu, he was first astonished, and then immediately overjoyed!
Ming Yu had killed Luo Ling, stolen the Netherworld Sword, and had even heavily injured him with a Bi Luo flying knife. Ming Yu had touched the Nether Master’s bottom line for every single one of these moves. Today, even if he had to pay a huge price, he had to kill Ming Yu!
Originally, he was prepared to kill Zheng Yuan Sect and Lin Xue’er at this price, but now, it seemed that it would be more appropriate to use it on Ming Yu!
“Hell has no doors, yet you want to send yourself to your death. Since that’s the case, I’ll grant your wish!”
The Nether Master’s expression was dark and cold. In his hand was a thumb-sized pill. Then, he quickly popped it into his mouth, chewed on it for a moment, and swallowed it!
