BXBX NOVEL Chapter 5282 Gold Lion
Chapter 5282 Gold Lion
Based on his estimations, he would only be qualified to challenge the Silver Hair Void Crusher once he became a Heaven Saint. If he wanted to beat the Silver Hair Void Crusher, he would need to become stronger.
With one slash of his saber, Long Chen destroyed an altar along with the egg on it. The genius slumbering inside the egg never had a chance to awaken. After multiple battles, Long Chen had come to understand the devil race’s stronghold layouts, allowing him to precisely target and destroy their altars.
Just as Long Chen was moving on toward his next target, a deafening roar rattled the air. A golden lion, glowing with divine radiance, suddenly appeared in front of him.
Standing about three meters tall, the lion had fur that looked like it was crafted from pure gold, radiating a blinding brilliance.
When it looked at Long Chen, it seemed confused at first, but its gaze soon sharpened with ferocity. Startled by Long Chen’s aura, it had anticipated a formidable expert but instead saw a seemingly weak figure. More importantly, it sensed strong dragon blood fluctuations from him.
Initially, the lion had come to warn Long Chen not to trespass into its territory. However, sensing Long Chen’s power as weaker than it had expected, its killing intent surged.
“A demonic beast?”
Long Chen’s eyes lit up in delight. After spending so much time fighting devil creatures, he was tired of them. Encountering a demonic beast was a refreshing change. Moreover, the appearance of a demonic beast in this area indicated there might not be any more devil creatures nearby—no wonder he hadn’t found another stronghold in the past day of travel.
“Hey, can you tell me where I am? Have you seen any other lifeforms around here?” Long Chen casually asked, ignoring the fact that the lion was baring its teeth at him.
This golden lion was only a three-vein Emperor. Although its bloodline was powerful, and it should be a demonic beast race with an illustrious history, Long Chen didn’t care too much.
If he had encountered such a creature back in the Saint realm, he might have been more cautious. But now that he had adapted to his Sage King realm, this lion didn’t pose any real threat.
The golden lion suddenly pounced, its claws going for Long Chen’s shoulders.
BOOM!
With a single stomp to its nose, Long Chen sent the golden lion tumbling backward, smashing into a mountain and causing it to collapse on top of the beast.
Enraged, the lion roared, and a golden vortex condensed around its mouth. A glowing sphere formed at the center of the vortex and shot toward Long Chen.
When the golden sphere reached Long Chen, a hand covered in stars caught and crushed it.
Seeing this, the golden lion was terrified. It instantly understood that the fellow in front of it was not its prey.
It directly turned around and fled, but it hadn’t gone far before Long Chen caught up and kicked it in the head. The golden lion was slammed into the ground. Roaring in frustration, it tried to rise, but Long Chen pressed his foot down, keeping it pinned.
Suddenly, space quivered, and Long Chen felt a chill run down his back. Instinctively, he grabbed the golden lion by the neck and flew into the air. When he looked back, he saw a colossal golden lion, towering like a mountain, glaring at him with murderous intent.
The giant lion let out a deafening roar, sending a violent wave of qi crashing through the sky. Long Chen felt the space around him collapse and hurriedly summoned his divine ring in shock. He had just subdued a three-vein Emperor golden lion, but now a far more terrifying presence had appeared. Given its intense killing intent, it was likely the parent of the smaller lion.
Six blood-colored divine runes lit up on the giant lion’s body, and it summoned its manifestation, leaving Long Chen stunned. He had never encountered a demonic beast capable of summoning a manifestation before. The pressure radiating from the lion was overwhelming.
“Six-vein Emperor?!”
Long Chen’s heart pounded hard. From the lion’s immense aura, it was clear that this was a formidable opponent. The six runes on its body confirmed its power.
Normally, Long Chen would be eager to challenge such a powerful foe, but in this perilous environment, surrounded by unknown dangers, he didn’t dare to fight recklessly. The six-vein Emperor’s power was fearsome, and if he got injured or if more enemies appeared, he would very well die here.
“Come, show me what you’ve got! Let’s see if this meat shield in my hand can block your attacks!” Long Chen taunted, waving the golden lion around arrogantly.
The little lion was under Long Chen’s full control and didn’t dare to make any sudden moves. After all, Long Chen was capable of killing it at any moment. The little lion gazed pitifully at its giant parent, not daring to make a sound.
Seeing Long Chen use its offspring as a shield, the giant lion roared in fury, as if cursing Long Chen for his despicable tactics. Long Chen responded by slapping the young lion’s head, causing it to tear up. No one knew if it was from fear or anger.
“Why don’t you try shouting at me again?!” Long Chen taunted, shaking the little lion in his grip.
Just then, several large figures appeared around Long Chen. The sight of them sent a chill through his body.
