The battle between the man and the beast had reached a fever pitch. From the initial probing to the subsequent all-out attack, Jiang Yuan had come to regard the Glazed Spirit Lion as the best practice subject.

With its thick skin and tough flesh, and excelling in both defense and offense, it was the perfect opponent for Jiang Yuan, who needed to be put under enough pressure to activate the Eight Gates.

Ten minutes, thirty minutes, an hour passed by, but neither side showed any sign of losing.

"Who exactly are you? How can a mere Supreme God Realm cultivator compare to my energy reserves?!" The Glazed Spirit Lion asked, unable to contain its frustration, as it was hammered back again.

"Shh, don't talk, focus on fighting!"

Jiang Yuan gestured for it to focus; he was already comprehending the Eight Gates and didn't want to fail at this crucial moment.

"Damn it!" The Glazed Lion was an extremely proud lion, how could it be looked down upon by Jiang Yuan like this?

"Glassy Fire".

The glass lion, which originally relied solely on its physical body, unleashed another power—a flame of a higher attribute. Although it wasn't as monstrous as the three supreme attributes, it was already unrivaled among the basic attributes.

After the appearance of the Glazed Fire, the Glazed Spirit Lion indeed became stronger. The flames that burned through the void continuously landed on Jiang Yuan, causing him considerable injuries.

However, Jiang Yuan was not in a hurry. Instead, he became more and more excited because he unexpectedly discovered that one of his eight gates, the Injury Gate, had become more active while he was being burned by the flames. Although the lack of the Eight Gates Body Book prevented the eight gates from being opened normally, his ability to resist injuries was greatly improved with the eight gates active.

"It seems that the Eight Gates is not just an internal problem, but is also affected by external pressures."

He sensed the boundless potential of the Eight Gates technique during his last battle with the Golden-Robed Archbishop. He must have been in dire straits when he forced out all his potential, otherwise it would have been difficult to open such a perfect Eight Gates technique with just one pill.

"You're still laughing? Keep laughing? Die!"

The Glazed Lion had already lost its temper. The lion clan's stamina was not as enduring as it had been imagined, and judging from the opponent's posture, this battle would not end for at least half a day. It could not accept the outcome of fighting a Supreme God Realm expert for half a day.

Therefore, it must unleash its strongest form, even if the current formation will cause it extremely serious damage.

"A cornered beast's struggle is no match for burning its last breath!"

The Crystal Lion had long been aware of this; it had been trapped here waiting for this opportunity. Now that someone could fight it fair and square, it would have no regrets even if it died.

"Glassy Battle Body!"

The body of the Crystal Lion no longer exists in the form of flesh and blood, but is truly crystallized from the starry sky. The amount of energy that flesh and blood can contain needs to be continuously increased through cultivation, and the rate of increase is very slow, but it is different after it becomes materialized.

The Starry Sky Glazed Glass is ten thousand times stronger than a physical body of the same level; it is a terrifying physical body that surpasses even celestial bodies.

Even the Glazed Lion can only maintain the Starry Glazed Form for a very limited time, and it can only do so when it is fully activated. Otherwise, even though it is a star beast famous for its glazed form, it cannot maintain the Glazed Battle Form indefinitely.

"Human, to be able to fight you before I die, it's worth spending thousands of years in this godforsaken place!"

The glass lion charged towards Jiang Yuan. Although the situation had developed beyond Jiang Yuan's expectations, he remained unmoved.

He hadn't intended to fight the Glazed Spirit Lion to the death, but the Glazed Spirit Lion misunderstood and turned on him. So, he could only use this whetstone to hone his physical body.

"Seven shackles, break!"

The demon god appeared in the form of a demon god, and the two of them truly engaged in a physical confrontation, with the human and the beast exchanging blows.

"Eight Gates!"

"Liuli!"

Jiang Yuan gained new insights during the battle, and his Samsara Eye once again captured the abilities of the Glazed Spirit Lion.

Starry Sky Glaze is a special amplification technique.

"With the acquisition of the Glazed Blood, the Reincarnation Heavenly Eye can perfect part of the starry sky glazed transformation."

This is the final data obtained by the Samsara Eye. The Samsara Eye still inherits the characteristics of the previous Eyes of the Heavens, and the power of perfection is still an indispensable ability among them.

"Interesting. It seems that today's gains are not just about comprehending the Eight Gates!"

Jiang Yuan became serious, activating both Divine Battle and Killing Restriction simultaneously. He used the Myriad Battle Technique in conjunction with the Eternal Divine Fist to relentlessly strike the Glazed Spirit Lion. The Glazed Spirit Lion, however, was not to be outdone, and each of its attacks seemed poised to shatter Jiang Yuan.

This battle far exceeded everyone's expectations, and even Liang Yuquan and the other person waiting outside began to feel nervous.

"Brother Yuquan, do you think the boss will be alright? He's been inside for three hours already!" Zhu Zi asked with a worried expression.

Liang Yuquan was uncertain, but the most important thing was to remain calm. He said with a hint of composure, "Trust the boss. He even defeated the Heavenly Mirror Temple, so other things are no problem."

"Sigh, it's not that I don't trust the boss, I'm just worried that the Brahmins will do something bad." Zhu Zi looked resentfully at the half-decayed man who was still leisurely waiting outside.

"Wait a little longer!"

The two could only wait anxiously, but the situation was still optimistic. If Jiang Yuan encountered any problems, Liu Zhaodi would know immediately. The fact that Liu Zhaodi hadn't sent any messages to them meant that Jiang Yuan was safe for the time being.

Bang! A massive physical explosion erupted within the magic circle.

Without the addition of energy, the mere collision of their physical bodies could cause such a massive fluctuation, which shows just how intense their battle was.

It was this time that the Glazed Spirit Lion bled, and Jiang Yuan didn't know how many times he had been reborn from blood. His immortal bones and undying heart were shattered several times. If it weren't for his powerful foundation supporting him, the outcome of this battle of physical clashes would have been uncertain.
