Chapter 330: Slipping into the Cave

The Golden Divine Lion's eyes were cold, its domineering aura sweeping across the eight wilds. The surrounding creatures were frightened and fled, not daring to stay for a moment.

It swallowed mountains and rivers, its golden mane dazzling. Surging blood energy pierced heaven and earth, stirring up a terrifying gale in the void that severed mountain peaks and sent rocks flying through the clouds.

The pitch-black seal shook heaven and earth, shrouded in divine radiance. The energy of the revived artifact unleashed overwhelming might, each strike carrying the force of mountains crumbling and earth splitting, seizing the soul.

"There must be something strange inside!" Sensing the Golden Divine Lion's increasingly ferocious attacks, Li Cheng's expression turned grim. Then he noticed the dark cave ahead, and a glimmer of light appeared in his eyes.

"Not good, that old bastard has discovered it..." Yang Tian and the others exchanged glances, then furrowed their brows. If the treasure the Golden Divine Lion was willing to defend with its life was something Li Cheng would find extremely tempting.

The Golden Divine Lion's golden eyes shot out terrifying beams. It noticed Li Cheng's gaze, and its breath suddenly surged. Its golden mane grew even more brilliant, like a blazing sun, unbearably hot, causing the void to crack.

With a thunderous boom, it stomped, shattering the void. Its entire body blazed with even more intense golden light. Divine radiance flourished there, turning the whole sky into a golden ocean, blocking Li Cheng's path.

"How terrifying, it's going to fight to the death." The formation shook, and Fatty's face instantly darkened. The runes flickering around the formation were now depleting several times faster than before.

"We can't keep consuming like this, or we'll be exposed sooner or later..." Yang Tian's head ached. This was already an audacious scheme. The Golden Divine Lion cherished its offspring deeply, willing to die rather than let its cub be harmed.

The golden ocean surged wildly, crushing heaven and earth. The sky trembled. Its divine power was terrifying, devouring the essence of the ten directions, causing the void to crack.

"Roar...!" The Golden Divine Lion roared, shaking the mountains and rivers. Terrifying sonic booms spread, splitting the sky. Like a demon god, it pounced to kill!

Li Cheng's face turned cold. His wary eyes swept over the colossal beast ahead, and boundless greed arose in his heart. For the Golden Divine Lion to fight to the death to protect something, it must be its cub!

"Boom!" Heaven and earth suddenly rumbled, the sound clanging and shocking. The pitch-black seal appeared in the void, abruptly expanding to about a hundred zhang.

Heaven and earth seemed to flip. The hundred-zhang seal spun wildly in the void, spewing absorbed energy, filling the sky, and smashing down violently.

"Rumble!" This great artifact was extremely terrifying, emitting earth-shattering sounds. It crashed into the golden ocean, instantly piercing a large hole.

"Bang!" The Golden Divine Lion roared wildly. Its leg, as if cast from gold, stomped in the air. With a clang, the pitch-black seal hummed and was knocked back.

The Golden Divine Lion pounced. An illusory leg, seventy or eighty zhang tall, tore through the void and stomped down heavily, sending the pitch-black seal flying.

"Die!" Li Cheng's expression shifted slightly. He suddenly roared. The seal flipped, releasing狂暴 energy and soaring into the sky.

"Bang!" Though the Golden Divine Lion had just given birth, its divine might remained. Its divine power seemed inexhaustible, its massive paws stomping down repeatedly.

Boom! Boom! The void trembled violently. Even this fearsome figure could not withstand it; his chest churned. The seal wailed repeatedly. If struck again, it would be damaged.

Golden light shot into the sky, blood energy surged, dazzling and brilliant. The Golden Divine Lion went berserk, its ferocity overwhelming. It was fighting to the death, nearly burning its flesh and blood, charging madly to attack.

"Damn it!" Li Cheng was gradually being driven back. His four large hooves blazed with blood light soaring to the sky, divine power surging, and blazing sacred flames overflowed. Golden light burst forth madly, like swords striking the dark great seal.

Under the stunned gazes of Yang Tian and the others, a fine crack gradually appeared on the dark great seal, very conspicuous.

"Beast!" A trace of blood seeped from Li Cheng's mouth. He was already old and could not withstand such terrifying depletion.

"Roar..." The golden divine lion roared, shattering the sky. Unmatched divine power struck out, causing the dark great seal to wail repeatedly. The crack gradually widened, showing signs of bursting.

"Trouble, those two old fellows are coming." At this moment, Yang Tian's pupils suddenly contracted. He frowned deeply. Two great cultivators had arrived; the golden lion was in imminent danger.

"Cough, cough..." Li Cheng coughed blood from the blows. His hair danced wildly, his face ferocious. When he noticed the people below, he roared: "Two elders, quickly help me capture this beast!"

"Roar..." The golden divine lion roared wildly, nearly mad. The entire golden sea was burning. He unleashed some terrible secret art, and towering sacred flames suddenly emerged from the golden sea.

The void cracked and collapsed, melted by the golden flames. The pure golden flames gave a sense of mental oppression, as if the soul were leaving the body.

The old faces of Li Long and the others couldn't help twisting, their scalps tingling. With palpitating eyes, they stared at the flames in the void, cursing inwardly that this old monster had nothing better to do than come provoke this creature.

"Two elders, help me! There are its cubs in the cave!" Li Cheng roared, his hair flying wildly. A cub of this level was worth their risking their lives.

"What?!" Their pupils shrank slightly, a look of fierce determination appearing in their eyes. They were both tempted. A cub of the golden divine lion was comparable to a peerless treasure, not even exchangeable for a fearsome Dao artifact!

Such a creature, if it grew up, would have overwhelming combat power and could even serve as a guardian beast of the clan. No one was not tempted.

"Trouble, the formation is about to break." The fat man suddenly wailed, looking at the rapidly dimming runes around him, his heart bleeding. The sacred flames in the void were too terrifying, burning through the void, scorching hot.

"Uncle Xiao, what should we do?" At this moment, anxiety flashed in Yang Tian's eyes. Three powerful figures—even if the golden divine lion fought desperately, it would be hard to stop them.

"When they start fighting, we'll take the chance to slip in." Hearing this, Yang Xiao pondered for a moment, then said with a faint smile.

"Go in?" Hearing Yang Xiao's calm voice, Yang Tian couldn't help shrinking his neck. That was the golden divine lion's forbidden ground; if discovered, it would surely fight him to the death.

"It's fine. I'll wrap your body in azure flame heavenly fire later, and you hide inside the Golden Crow divine furnace. It probably won't detect you." Seeing Yang Tian's expression, Yang Xiao couldn't help chuckling and scolding.

"That's good... that's good." Scratching his head, Yang Tian grinned.

In the field, sacred flames raged. The golden sea had nearly turned into sacred flames, the blazing aura unbearable. The sky was torn apart—an extremely terrifying scene.

"Rumble!" The golden divine lion roared in anger. Its four hooves spewed flames, pushing the golden sacred flame sea to crush down upon the three of them.

The three great cultivators attacked together, their combined force clashing with the golden sacred flame sea. The aura soared to the sky, everything trembled, light was dazzling, and the void exploded.

Just then, a speck of dust drifted out from the void. The battle there had reached a fever pitch, and no one noticed a bold person attempting to enter the golden divine lion's cave.

"Yang Tian, may fortune be with you." The fat man prayed like a prophet. Yang Tian's action was undoubtedly the most dangerous—actually trying to break into the golden divine lion's cave.
