Chapter 0351 Ghost Lion King

Chapter 0351 Ghost Lion King

Qin Yun and Xiao Yuemei had previously encountered a golden flame lion by the Yunlong River.

That lion had mentioned that their clan was responsible for guarding the Burial Immortal Ground.

Remembering this, Qin Yun wasn't too shocked.

He was simply astonished that such a powerful Heavenly Lion was hidden within this immortal tomb.

"Impossible, impossible..." Master Wang Tian kept shaking his head, "This immortal tomb has stood for tens of thousands of years. There can't be anything alive inside, especially such a powerful beast!"

The dragon circling in the night sky let out continuous roars!

The ground suddenly shook, and a black shadow burst forth from the tomb!

Indeed, it was a Heavenly Lion, but its body was pitch black, and compared to the dragon, it was much smaller, only tens of meters long!

However, this black Heavenly Lion was incredibly ferocious. As soon as it burst forth, it unleashed the Heavenly Lion Roaring Sky Sound at the dragon in the sky, the explosive roar that shook the heavens and earth!

The ground around the tomb instantly surged like a colossal wave!

Those in the Xuan Martial Realm were all filled with terror, as this terrifying power seemed capable of destroying the heavens and the earth!

Qin Yun, lying on the sacrificial altar, felt his blood surge. This was the genuine Heavenly Lion Roaring Sky Sound, utterly terrifying!

"It's the Ghost Lion King, the legendary Heavenly Lion from the Burial Immortal Ground! It has turned into a ghost beast!" Master Wang Tian shouted in alarm.

The Ghost Lion King flew high into the sky, raising its claws, transforming them into a massive black claw over a hundred meters long, grabbing at the dancing dragon.

It was the Heavenly Lion Clawing Dragon!

This Ghost Lion King was battling the dragon!

Roar! Roar! Roar!

The dragon was not to be outdone, violently whipping its tail at the Ghost Lion King while continuously roaring, spewing thunderbolts from its mouth!

As the Ghost Lion King roared, it also spewed black flames, colliding with the thunderbolts!

The battle between the dragon and the lion seemed to shake the heavens and the earth, fiercely intense!

"While the Ghost Lion King is holding off the dragon, we must hurry inside!" Master Wang Tian shouted urgently.

Although Jian Xuanzi was terrified by the power of the dragon and the Ghost Lion King, their lust for immortal treasures drove them forward fearlessly, and they all rushed toward the tomb.

However, just as they charged forward, a golden light suddenly burst forth from the massive tomb!

"Is it the birth of an immortal treasure?" Jian Xuanzi cried out in excitement.

Indeed, something flew out from the tomb!

It was a cauldron, several meters tall, wreathed in golden flames. After flying out, it gradually shrank to just over two meters in height.

It was a square cauldron, with four Heavenly Lion heads as its legs, its body covered in Heavenly Lion totem patterns, and its handles shaped like two roaring Heavenly Lion heads!

Seeing this cauldron, Qin Yun felt a surge of regret!

He could clearly see that this was an incredibly powerful cauldron, but it was about to fall into the hands of those scoundrels, Jian Xuanzi and his group!

"It's... it's the Heavenly Lion Subduing Dragon Cauldron!" Master Wang Tian exclaimed in shock. "Hurry, bring it here!"

Jian Xuanzi's face lit up with ecstasy as he used his power to form a purple-golden light band, wrapping it around the Heavenly Lion Subduing Dragon Cauldron and dragging it over.

"This is an ancient Daoist artifact. Quick, use your lifeblood to refine it!" Master Wang Tian hurriedly cut his wrist, mixing his mental energy into the blood and releasing it into the Heavenly Lion Subduing Dragon Cauldron.

The other Xuan Martial realm elders also started bleeding themselves to refine the cauldron!

Qin Yun, bound to the sacrificial altar, watched in shock!

Even as a senior Runes Master, he had no clue such a method was needed to tame an ancient Daoist artifact!

A Daoist artifact is superior to a mystical weapon!

An ancient Daoist artifact is even more fearsome, with lost refining techniques and Dao patterns.

What's more, the Heavenly Lion Subduing Dragon Cauldron bore the Heavenly Lion Totem, making it even more powerful!

"Even though we're all bleeding to refine it, the one who bleeds the most gets the Heavenly Lion Subduing Dragon Cauldron!" Jian Xuanzi said coldly. "Whoever gets it, no one else can take it!"

Everyone coveted the Heavenly Lion Subduing Dragon Cauldron, and they were now frantically bleeding themselves!

The Heavenly Lion Subduing Dragon Cauldron hovered mid-air, spinning and absorbing the Xuan Martial realm practitioners' blood.

The tomb had barely opened, and already such an item had emerged, suggesting there was more inside.

While they refined the Heavenly Lion Subduing Dragon Cauldron, the crimson giant tower, split down the middle, began to close!

The immortal tomb was sealing shut!

"Relax, the kid's still here!" Master Wang Tian looked at Qin Yun and chuckled. "Good thing we didn't kill him earlier, or reopening the tomb would've been tough!"

Whoosh! The Heavenly Lion Subduing Dragon Cauldron shuddered, unleashing a searing blast of wind. Spinning, it spewed flames in all directions.

Suddenly, the lid of the Heavenly Lion Subduing Dragon Cauldron flew open, and a massive red fireball erupted from within!

"Watch out! The Heavenly Lion Subduing Dragon Cauldron's attacking us! It's a sentient Daoist artifact!" Jian Xuanzi shouted.

The red fireball shot out, barreling straight for the sacrificial altar...

"Oh no, it's going to wreck the altar—our only way into the tomb!"

No sooner had Master Wang Tian spoken than the fireball hit Qin Yun.

Boom! A fiery explosion obliterated the altar, hurling a blazing stone shard!

"The altar and the kid are gone!" Jian Xuanzi cried in horror.

"The altar was rock-solid, yet it was obliterated in a flash!"

Master Wang Tian was the most shocked.

Jian Xuanzi said, "Never mind that for now, let's secure the Heavenly Lion Subduing Dragon Cauldron first!"

At this moment, other Spirit Martial realm practitioners also joined in, releasing their lifeblood to suppress the raging Heavenly Lion Subduing Dragon Cauldron!

...

Qin Yun was struck by the flame, but he felt no pain. Instead, he was enveloped by the flame and, propelled by the fierce force, flew far away...

"I'm safe!"

Qin Yun lay in a crevice, still within the giant pit where the massive tower stood.

He had fallen into a crevice torn open by the force.

Qin Yun touched his body, astonished.

"Damn it, that wasn't just any flame... it was the spirit of the Heavenly Lion Subduing Dragon Cauldron, the most crucial part of a Dao artifact, and it flew out on its own!"

He inspected his Nether Sun Dao Core internally, where the spirit, shaped like a small cauldron, hid within his Dao Core!

"Even if they get the Heavenly Lion Subduing Dragon Cauldron, without its spirit, it's nothing more than a sturdy piece of iron!" Qin Yun thought gleefully, then climbed out of the crevice.

The Ghost Lion King and the dragon were still locked in a fierce battle, filling the sky with deafening roars.

The violent tremors of the earth continued unabated.

As Qin Yun emerged from the crevice, he saw Jian Xuanzi grinning broadly, having obtained the Heavenly Lion Subduing Dragon Cauldron!

"We need to leave now! Whether the Ghost Lion King or the dragon wins, they'll come after us!" Master Wang Tian said gravely, watching the distant battle between the dragon and the lion.

Jian Xuanzi quickly pulled out a large animal hide, and with the help of others, spread it out.

Qin Yun instantly recognized it as a teleportation array!

"This guy actually has something like this, no wonder they're so composed!"

Qin Yun muttered a curse under his breath, filled with hatred for Master Wang Tian and Jian Xuanzi, who had captured him for the sacrifice.

Jian Xuanzi and several others from the Xuan Martial realm, along with over twenty from the Spirit Martial realm, stood on the massive animal hide.

"Let's pool our energy together to activate the teleportation array, one, two, three..." Jian Xuanzi shouted.

Seeing the teleportation array about to activate, Qin Yun swiftly took out a Spirit Martial realm Dao Core and leapt into the air.

"Look... it's that kid, he's still alive!" an elder from the Spirit Martial realm shouted.

"Great, seize him! He might come in handy later!" Master Wang Tian exclaimed with delight.

"To hell with you, you beasts!" Qin Yun hurled the Spirit Martial realm Dao Core with all his might.

Due to the fierce battle between the dragon and the lion in the sky, the air was charged with violent energy.

Thus, they couldn't sense the Dao Core and had no idea what was flying towards them!

As the Dao Core neared, Jian Xuanzi shouted in alarm, "It's a Spirit Martial realm Dao Core, it's about to explode..."

Meanwhile, Qin Yun swiftly activated his Blue Spirit Mystical Robe and employed the instant movement of the Fire Cloud Steps to escape the deep pit!

Boom! A thunderous explosion erupted from the pit!

The shockwave radiated for miles, hurling dust into the air, obscuring the sky!

Qin Yun was also sent flying by the shockwave!

Luckily, he had run fast enough to avoid the explosion's core, so he wasn't injured.

After the violent explosion, Jian Xuanzi and Master Wang Tian were near the giant crater!

They floated in mid-air, staring in horror at the massive crater beside the crimson tower.

"That little brat actually had a Dao Pill of the Spirit Martial realm... How did he get it?" Master Wang Tian was unharmed but appeared quite disheveled.

Those in the Spirit Martial realm were all injured to varying degrees.

Fortunately, a few Xuan Martial realm experts stepped in just in time to shield them!

However, the precious teleportation formation was destroyed!

Jian Xuanzi bellowed, "My ancestral teleportation formation... I'll flay that little brat alive!"

With a roar, the Ghost Lion King abruptly ceased its battle with the dragon and charged downward!

Terrified, the Xuan Martial realm experts scattered in all directions, fleeing for their lives.

In the face of disaster, everyone looks out for themselves. As soon as the Ghost Lion King descended, they bolted as fast as their legs could carry them.

The Spirit Martial realm warriors lamented their inability to keep up with the swiftly fleeing Xuan Martial realm experts.

"That little bastard has sealed our fate!"

"That damn brat not only destroyed the teleportation formation but also provoked the Ghost Lion King. We could've been safely back by now!"

"If that brat's still breathing, we'll make him pay!"

The fleeing warriors cursed Qin Yun silently in their hearts.

Qin Yun, fleeing alongside them, silently cursed the warriors in his heart.

He had nearly been sacrificed to death, and throwing the Dao Pill was his only act of revenge.

...

Qin Yun dashed through the forest for days, putting distance between himself and the immortal tomb.

Though his Martial realm cultivation made solo travel risky, he couldn't afford to care.

Under the cover of night, Qin Yun harnessed shadow power to move swiftly through the darkness.

Night travel was safest for him, as shadow power cloaked him in darkness.

As dawn neared, Qin Yun was on the verge of resting when he felt the artifact soul within his Mingyang Dao Pill quiver faintly.

"Could it be... the Heavenly Lion Subduing Dragon Cauldron is close? That cauldron was snatched by that old bastard Jian Xuanzi. Is he nearby?"

Qin Yun's heart pounded as he came to an abrupt halt.
