Chapter 275: True Fire Flying Lion
The True Fire Flying Lion, rumored to be the mount of the Fire God, was clearly an exaggerated claim. A cultivator powerful enough to be called a god possessed unimaginable strength—how could their steed merely be a spirit beast? Even a juvenile mount of the Fire God would rank as an immortal beast.
Regardless of whether the True Fire Flying Lion before them was fully grown, Su Yinxue claimed its strength rivaled Su Hao’s even in its youth. Its power was undeniably fearsome.
Earlier, while fleeing, Ye Yun and the others had glimpsed the beast. With a mere flash of fire from its eyes, it reduced a vast stretch of forest to ash—a chilling display of its destructive flames.
“Ye Yun, what do we do now?” Su Yinxue asked, her gaze fixed on the boy she’d long regarded as their leader.
“Brother Ye, how should we proceed?” Yu Minghong added, his confidence shaken after witnessing the lion’s might.
“This is hopeless,” Duan Chenfeng muttered, his usual bravado replaced by dread. “Even at the Foundation Establishment stage, I’d fight Murong Wuhen head-on. But that lion… we can’t win.”
Ye Yun frowned silently, equally uncertain.
“Why the gloom?” Su Ling interjected, perplexed. “Our goal is survival, not slaying that beast. The spatial passage opens in days—we just need to avoid it!”
The group blinked, then chuckled. She was right. The Soul-Cutting Mountains, forged through spatial Great Techniques, spanned unknown distances. Hiding for three days in this hundred-mile expanse seemed manageable.
Ye Yun ruffled Su Ling’s hair playfully until she swatted his hand away. “The mountains are supposed to house criminals too,” she grumbled. “Where are they?”
“Would any survive with that lion around?” Duan Chenfeng countered.
“But the lion was sealed underground until we broke the array,” Su Ling argued. “Criminals get dumped here regularly—they couldn’t all have died!”
Su Yinxue nodded. “Ling’er’s correct. For centuries, disciples have risked death here from both beasts and men. The lion’s presence doesn’t eliminate cunning humans—we must stay vigilant. Beasts we can predict, but people?”
Ye Yun agreed. Days earlier, without Su Yinxue stalling Murong Wuhen during his breakthrough, he’d have died. Human cunning posed greater danger than brute strength.
“Guard me while I recover,” Ye Yun ordered, scattering hundreds of top-grade spirit stones around himself. Swallowing two pills, he sat cross-legged, eyes shut. His depleted true qi left them vulnerable—especially if Murong Wuhen reappeared.
The group formed a protective square. Duan Chenfeng planted his Breaking Sun Spear upright. Yu Minghong raised a shield-like artifact. Su Ling deployed floating treasures from her bracelet.
“Sister, take the rear for quicker response,” Su Ling instructed. Purple flags materialized as she wove them into a formation around Ye Yun.
“The Seven-Star Transformation Array?” Su Yinxue breathed.
“Mother’s gift,” Su Ling smiled. “Though I can only muster a tenth of its power. Might delay Murong Wuhen for an incense stick’s burn, but the lion would smash through.”
Su Yinxue summoned her jade-green sword, its blade rippling like water. “Ye Yun absorbs energy rapidly—he’ll recover in half a day. Once restored, only the lion should threaten us.”
They nodded, resolve hardening.
With his Little Absorption Technique and the Heart of Immortals and Demons, Ye Yun’s recovery outpaced ordinary cultivation. As the others watched, the spirit stones blazed, their energy coalescing into a roaring river that plunged into his body.
Within half an hour, the energy torrent dwindled to wisps. Su Yinxue’s eyes widened—she could absorb ten stones at most. Yet Ye Yun, at third-level Qi Refining, devoured hundreds without bursting! Even her father Su Hao or prodigy Murong Wuqing couldn’t match this. What horrors would his Foundation Establishment bring?
Ye Yun knew their astonishment but pressed on. The Heart of Immortals and Demons siphoned ninety percent of the energy, returning purified true qi that bypassed refinement. While this didn’t advance his cultivation, it honed his qi’s purity—a costly method, draining his Hualun Secret Vault reserves.
As the Heart ceased spinning, pristine energy flooded Ye Yun’s meridians. He smiled—full recovery moments away.
Then golden light detonated in his mind, thunderous and all-consuming.
