As soon as Lin Xiao finished speaking, he flashed forward at an astonishing speed.
Bang!
Bang!
Lin Xiao moved swiftly, each punch landing precisely on Saruman. The Lion King's body was exceptionally tough; even a cultivator at the early stage of the Integration Realm could not harm him in the slightest.
But this didn't mean Lin Xiao's punches were ineffective. Each strike felt like a giant hammer blow to Saruman's body, splattering blood and leaving countless wounds.
Lin Xiao's fists pounded Saruman relentlessly, causing the lion king to howl in pain, blood to splatter, and his golden mane to fall off, leaving him covered in wounds in the blink of an eye.
Bang!
Lin Xiao continued his relentless attack, striking the Lion King repeatedly. Saruman's shrill cries echoed as he writhed in agony, his breath rapidly weakening, clearly unable to withstand Lin Xiao's onslaught.
If things continue like this, Saruman will be completely defeated by Lin Xiao sooner or later.
Lin Xiao slammed his fist into Saruman's head, instantly shattering the lion king's skull.
Lin Xiao couldn't help but gasp. He hadn't expected that a single punch could shatter the Lion King's skull. It seemed he had underestimated Saruman's power.
This lion king was so powerful, so incredibly powerful, that it filled him with despair.
"Huff..."
Lin Xiao gasped for breath, a look of confusion and resentment in his eyes. He hadn't expected to die at Saruman's hands; it was a disgrace to him.
At this moment, a ball of white light emerged from Saruman's mangled body and entered Lin Xiao's sea of consciousness.
Lin Xiao let out a painful scream, his whole body convulsing, as if he was enduring immense pain.
That dazzling light was a rare relic left behind by the Golden Lion King.
The beam of light lingered in Lin Xi's mental world for a long time before finally penetrating his thought process.
"Is this... this what they call a rare treasure?"
Lin Xi was deeply shocked. This was the first time he had personally experienced this light, and he never expected that it would have the ability to possess another's body.
Now, the bead has perfectly merged with Lin Xi's body and become one with his soul.
This is an extraordinary treasure!
Lin Xi could hardly contain her excitement.
He took a deep breath to calm his mind, then closed his eyes and focused intently on sensing the bead. The bead slowly rotated in Lin Xi's sea of consciousness, and with each rotation, Lin Xi's soul power flowed into it continuously.
Lin Xi opened her eyes and gently exhaled.
Even though he was only temporarily borrowing the power of the bead, Lin Xi was certain that he could completely refine the power of the bead in a short period of time.
Soon, Lin Xi's soul reached a state of saturation.
At this point, his soul was barely able to control itself.
This bead is like a magic needle that calms the sea.
boom!
A dazzling azure light suddenly burst forth from between Lin Xi's brows, followed by a powerful surge of energy.
...
In Lin Xi's world of consciousness, thunder rumbled, deafeningly loud.
At this moment, he could manipulate his soul power at will.
Outside the realm of consciousness, streaks of lightning continuously cleaved and crackled.
boom!
A series of thunderbolts, each one powerful enough to shake the heavens and earth, crashed down upon Lin Xi's sea of consciousness.
Lin Xi's expression changed slightly, sensing a hint of danger.
These bolts of lightning, like the hands of giants, seemed intent on destroying his world of consciousness.
"What happened?"
Lin Xi was secretly alarmed; these lightning bolts clearly originated from the body of the Golden Lion King.
Could this bead be a supreme divine artifact?
Lin Xi was filled with doubts, not understanding why the remains of the Golden Lion King contained such terrifying lightning.
Lin Xi dared not be careless and immediately took control of his soul power to frantically suppress the power of the thunder.
This bead is an innate divine artifact with immense power. It not only possesses powerful lightning attack capabilities but also a magical devouring property.
This ability to devour is fatally tempting to the power of the soul.
Although Lin Xi was not afraid of these lightning attacks, he dared not take the risk. If he were to be entangled by the lightning, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Lin Xi frantically compressed the energy of the thunder.
boom!
Thunderous bolts of lightning relentlessly bombarded Lin Xi's sea of consciousness, but under the protection of that bead, the lightning continued to rage and bombard him.
Cracks began to appear on Lin Xi's sea of consciousness, and they grew larger and larger.
"Damn it, no wonder the seniors in the cultivation world warned that these Golden Lion Kings are not to be trifled with. Such attacks are simply impossible to withstand." Lin Xi's face showed tension. If this continued, his spiritual sea would surely shatter, and his nascent soul would disappear without a trace.
"How should we deal with this?"
Lin Xi frowned, her face full of worry, lost in deep thought.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up: "That's right, since this bead can devour lightning, can I try to absorb it?"
A smile appeared on Lin Xi's face. He understood that the bead could devour lightning mainly because it was a treasure, and a top-tier immortal artifact at that.
Lin Xi firmly believed that his soul power was sufficient to completely absorb the lightning.
Thinking of this, Lin Xi immediately mobilized his soul power and rushed straight to the core of the spiritual ocean.
A muffled sound immediately emanated from his spiritual ocean, with black mist appearing and disappearing within it.
"Haha, I did it!"
Seeing the cracks appearing in his mental ocean, Lin Xi couldn't help but laugh excitedly; these cracks were the marks left by lightning.
"Go in!"
Lin Xi reached out and grabbed the bead, casting it into the depths of his spiritual ocean.
"ah……"
A painful scream rang out, and then the bead completely disappeared into the sea of consciousness.
A smile bloomed on Lin Xi's face.
"Haha, just as I expected, this bead can devour everything. As long as there is lightning power in my spiritual ocean, it will absorb it. It truly lives up to its reputation as an innate divine artifact, indeed surpassing the norm."
Lin Xi was secretly delighted, and then once again mobilized his soul power, sweeping it towards the other side of the spiritual ocean.
Soon, the power of lightning reappeared in Lin Xi's mental world.
"Haha, if this continues, it won't be long before my soul power advances by leaps and bounds."
A satisfied smile appeared on Lin Xi's lips.
"No, I can't continue. I must leave here as soon as possible. I can't stay here for too long, or my soul power will be exhausted."
Lin Xi shook her head and stopped what she was doing.
Immediately afterwards, his mental ocean trembled, shattered into countless fragments, and vanished without a trace.
