The lion walked step by step toward Linxi, its huge mouth opening to reveal its ferocious white teeth, ready to suck Linxi's blood.
A roar burst from Lin Xi's lips.
The next instant, the lion froze, its eyes revealing extreme terror.
Bang!
The lion's head fell straight to the ground, and a huge beast core rolled to the side.
Lin Xi slowly stood up.
He had regained consciousness just now, as the golden-haired lion attacked him.
However, he did not open his eyes immediately.
He knew that, not yet fully recovered, he had to maintain the status quo, or he would face a crisis.
The golden-maned lion has fallen.
Its remains floated silently in place, with golden patterns continuously emanating from the corpse and converging near Lin Xi.
These golden lines danced gently on Lin Xi's skin, causing his muscles to tremble.
"Oh!"
Lin Xi raised his head and let out a low growl.
He realized that absorbing the essence of the Golden Lion King was much smoother than absorbing the power of the Black Dragon.
Moreover, the absorption rate was several times faster than before.
The essence of the Golden Lion King, rich in immense energy, surged endlessly within Lin Xi's body.
The power within him gradually intensified.
Suddenly, a deafening roar erupted, and a dark hole split open in the top of the cave.
Lin Xi quickly got up.
A blur of motion sped into the depths of the cave.
That afterimage was none other than the Golden Lion King.
The figure vanished instantly, rushing into the cave in the blink of an eye.
Lin Xi exhaled deeply and turned his gaze to the deeper parts of the cave.
There, a strong, fishy smell permeated the air.
Lin Xi frowned.
"What is that smell? Could it be...?"
Lin Xi's expression changed slightly, and a chill ran through him: "The Golden Lion King?!"
Thinking of this, he immediately ran towards the source of the stench.
As they approached, they saw the Golden Lion King lying on the ground, his body shriveled up like a corpse.
A thick cloud of blood mist surrounded it.
Lin Xi immediately activated the Xuanwu Secret Technique.
The secret technique was activated, and a light green protective shield appeared around his body.
Although the Golden Lion King's blood mist was thick, it could not penetrate the protection of the Xuanwu Secret Technique.
Lin Xi's eyes darted around, and then he punched the lion king's corpse.
Bang!
A dull sound.
The Golden Lion King's corpse instantly shattered, turning into a bloody mist that filled the sky.
Lin Xi's lips twitched as he smelled the overwhelming stench.
"This golden lion king's body is so disgusting, I almost threw up my dinner from last night."
With that, Lin Xi strode out of the cave.
As soon as he stepped out of the cave, his expression darkened.
Suddenly, a golden leopard several meters long appeared behind them.
The leopard has three golden antennae standing upright on its forehead, covered with barbs, and a fierce aura constantly emanates from the antennae.
The Golden Lion King's corpse had been destroyed by Linxi, so it could only rely on its own scent to track Linxi.
The golden-haired lion roared deafeningly, and then its three golden tentacles lashed out violently at Linxi.
Lin Xi rapidly activated the Xuanwu Secret Technique, and a thin layer of yellow light shield appeared around his body.
Three golden tentacles struck the shield, emitting a low rumble. In an instant, the golden tentacles shattered like clay sculptures and fell to the ground.
Lin Xi stared at the golden-haired lion king before him and couldn't help but swallow.
"Is this the Golden Lion King? It's truly formidable. I can't even withstand a single finger from it now. If it were at its peak, it could probably crush me with just one finger."
"Unfortunately, this golden-haired lion king is just an ordinary golden-haired lion king."
"If it were at its peak, I'm afraid I would be dead by now."
Lin Xi shook her head, a slight disappointment on her face.
The Golden Lion King is a ferocious and terrifying demonic beast. Once it advances to become a Golden Lion King, its combat power can rival that of a Void Immortal.
The Golden Lion King has six stages, corresponding to the ninth level of the Void Immortal realm, above the ninth level, and up to the peak.
Once one reaches the ninth level of the Void Immortal realm, one is equivalent to a True Immortal.
However, as far as Lin Xi knew, the golden-haired lion king seemed to exist only in ancient books and had never actually appeared in reality.
"In any case, I have already absorbed the essence of the Golden Lion King. I only need to refine one more Golden Lion King's demon core, and my strength will surely skyrocket."
Thinking of this, a hint of excitement flashed across Lin Xi's face.
Without hesitation, he transformed into a phantom and sped off into the distance.
A moment later.
Linxi stopped in a valley.
A buzzing sound came from the valley, like flowers blooming, and a giant mushroom cloud rose up.
At the top of the mushroom cloud, a golden drop of blood floated.
That was the demon core of the golden-haired lion king.
Lin Xi looked at the demon core hovering in mid-air, his face beaming with joy.
"Hahaha, this is truly a stroke of luck!"
Lin Xi laughed loudly.
He stretched out his right hand, and a sharp burst of energy tore through the void, drawing the demon core in mid-air into his hand.
Immediately, Lin Xi formed hand seals, and ancient incantations were uttered from his mouth and poured into the demon core.
A vast and powerful aura erupted from within the demon core, spreading in all directions.
This aura was incredibly powerful, making people feel suffocated.
Soon, Lin Xi had complete control over the demon core.
The demon core is a golden demon soul.
This demonic soul emitted wisps of golden light, appearing mysterious and unpredictable.
Lin Xi reached out and grasped the golden demon soul, a serious expression appearing on his face.
He could sense that this golden demon soul was extraordinary.
"As expected of a demon core, it is so domineering."
Lin Xi secretly admired him.
His cultivation level was only at the early stage of the ninth level of Foundation Establishment.
Logically speaking, a cultivator at the ninth level of Foundation Establishment would be no match for the Golden-haired Lion King.
The Golden Lion King's strength is equivalent to that of a ninth-level Void Immortal.
However, Lin Xi still possesses two mysterious items.
"The bronze pot and the fiery unicorn are both priceless treasures."
"At this moment, the bronze pot and the fiery unicorn have merged with me, and my power will increase dramatically. I can even kill a True Immortal, let alone an insignificant being like the Golden-haired Lion King."
Lin Xi smiled slightly.
The next instant, he activated the bronze pot.
A blinding white light flashed by, and a giant gourd image formed around Lin Xi. The gourd's mouth was aimed at the Golden Lion King, and it suddenly spewed out blazing flames.
The flames were purplish-red and extremely hot, shooting straight at the Golden Lion King.
The Golden Lion King roared and dodged the attack of flames with a swift movement.
However, this scene shocked Lin Xi.
In the instant he dodged, he clearly heard a crisp cracking sound—the sound of bones breaking.
The Golden Lion King's body was burned to a crisp.
Why is that?
