Several powerful demons turned their gazes to the magical artifact that Xiao Feng had just thrown out, thinking that Xiao Feng was now at his wit's end.
"Do you think your human race's magical artifacts can withstand the power of heavenly lightning?"
The great demon Peng bird was already eager to try and couldn't wait to kill Xiao Feng and get the treasures on him.
Xiao Feng merely glanced at the Roc demon and said coldly, "Whether or not we can withstand it is not up to you."
The great demon roc sneered, its voice laced with cruelty and coldness: "I'd like to see how you'll stand on our demon territory without the Nine-Headed Lion!"
Xiao Feng said no more and turned his attention back to the place where the Nine-Headed Lion was undergoing its tribulation.
Just when these powerful demons thought that the magic weapon Xiao Feng had just thrown out would be shattered into dust by heavenly lightning, the first bolt of heavenly lightning struck.
The magical weapon that Xiao Feng threw out emitted a dazzling golden light, blocking the heavenly lightning.
It actually absorbed the heavenly lightning into its body.
Several bolts of lightning struck in succession, but the golden light shield remained firmly in place above the nine-headed lion's head, and all the remaining lightning was absorbed by the magical artifact.
As time ticked by, the thunderclouds overhead seemed to be brewing the final, most powerful bolt of heavenly lightning.
If he can overcome it, the Nine-Headed Lion will be the first being in the last few hundred years to successfully overcome the tribulation as a demon!
If he can't make it through, he's doomed.
The nine-headed lion looked at the golden protective shield above its head. It had been struck so hard that it lost its mind, but it managed to straighten itself, return to its original form, and roar to the sky.
The nine-headed lion is challenging the final bolt of heavenly lightning.
The heavenly lightning struck in response, but this time the magical artifact was unable to intercept all the heavenly lightning.
Moreover, this final bolt of heavenly lightning also had a thorough tempering effect on the nine-headed lion, as the magic weapon intercepted half of it.
The remaining half fell onto the nine-headed lion.
The roar of the nine-headed lion was mixed with painful howls.
However, the great demons could all sense the steadily increasing aura emanating from the Nine-Headed Lion, which meant that the Nine-Headed Lion's tribulation was now secure.
As the thunder subsided and the thunderclouds dispersed, brilliant golden light descended from the sky, illuminating the nine-headed lion.
The injuries inflicted by the heavenly lightning healed under the golden light, and the aura emanating from the nine-headed lion also rose and stabilized.
"Attack!" the Roc demon roared, and then several other demons exchanged glances before charging toward the nine-headed lion.
Although the nine-headed lion successfully broke through, he was at his weakest at this moment.
The demonic power in his body was completely exhausted, and he was receiving the gifts of Heaven to rebuild his demonic power.
This was his opportunity, but also the final crisis in his breakthrough.
Xiao Feng had already been on guard against several powerful demons, knowing that they wouldn't just stand by and watch the nine-headed lion break through smoothly and stand on their heads.
So the instant these powerful demons made their move, Xiao Feng teleported and stood in front of the nine-headed lion.
Xiao Feng's gaze lingered among the powerful demons before finally settling on the Devouring Python, which was making its first appearance after disappearing for so long.
"Are you all courting death?" Xiao Feng's tone was gentle, yet carried a strong warning.
“Human, if you obediently step back now and hand him over to us, we can spare your life. After you hand over everything you have, we will send you away from the demon race’s territory.”
The roc demon didn't want to give the nine-headed lion a chance to rest; it just wanted to get rid of the nine-headed lion as soon as possible, so it immediately threatened Xiao Feng.
"Human, this is a matter between our demon race. It has nothing to do with you, so don't interfere!"
Another powerful demon, whose true form was unknown, also spoke up to warn Xiao Feng.
"The Lion King has successfully survived the tribulation of lightning. Now you want to kill him? Aren't you afraid that he will use his remaining power to deal with you first?"
"If you can't kill him, you'll all become his enemies. You need to think carefully. Are you really absolutely certain you can win?"
Xiao Feng was not confident that he could withstand so many powerful demons all by himself.
But he absolutely could not let these powerful demons see through his disguise; this was the only way he could try to subdue them.
"Boy, if you step back now, I will forgive you for provoking me before."
The Devouring Python coiled its enormous body, staring menacingly at Xiao Feng.
"It seems you're determined to die!" Xiao Feng's tone turned serious.
This verbal sparring bought the Nine-Headed Lion some time to recover.
Xiao Feng took the initiative, setting up a formation around them in advance, which quickly surrounded him and the nine-headed lion.
The powerful demons outside immediately joined forces to attack the defensive formation set up by Xiao Feng.
All the other powerful demons wanted to kill the nine-headed lion, but the Devouring Python chose to take an unconventional path.
He actually charged towards the other lion demons, seemingly intending to use them to force the nine-headed lion to give up its resistance.
However, Xiao Feng was already prepared the moment he saw these powerful demons emerge.
Seeing the Devouring Python rushing towards them, Zhao Yuwei calmly stepped lightly on it.
Layers of talismans flew out from under her feet, instantly protecting her and all the remaining lion demons behind them.
"Fool!" Zhao Yuwei naturally knew how strong the defenses Xiao Feng had set up were.
It's absolutely impossible for a single Devouring Python to break through.
If it were the Devouring Python at its peak, Xiao Feng might have some concerns.
However, the Devouring Python is currently the weakest of all the great demons, and the protective shield set up by Xiao Feng can withstand it for a long time.
Enraged, the Devouring Python slapped its tail frantically against the protective shield in front of it.
Not only did it fail to threaten the lion demon inside, it also injured itself from the counterattack force of the protective shield.
The Devouring Python could only glare resentfully at the lion demons that it should have eaten before rejoining the team besieging the nine-headed lion.
Xiao Feng and his allies were struggling to withstand the attacks of so many powerful demons.
These powerful demons were on par with him in terms of cultivation.
Even if Xiao Feng could fight opponents of higher levels, and even if Xiao Feng's divine sense was extremely strong, he still couldn't withstand the combined attack of so many powerful demons.
As the layers of formations were broken, blood gradually seeped from the corner of Xiao Feng's mouth, and his aura began to become unstable.
But all of these powerful demons looked grim.
While Xiao Feng's breathing was unstable, they could sense that the Nine-Headed Lion's breathing had gradually stabilized.
Even if they were to break through Xiao Feng's defenses and successfully attack the Nine-Headed Lion, they would still be unable to kill it.
The nine-headed lion finally opened his eyes the instant the protective shield shattered.
A fierce burst of demonic power shot out, directly blasting away all the powerful demons who were still trying to attack Xiao Feng.
The nine-headed lion's figure moved like a yellow lightning bolt, accurately striking every powerful demon who made a move, utterly crushing them to the ground.
