Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

In terms of size alone, even if you added up ten Yun Xiao, they wouldn’t come close to that colossal beast.

However, when Yun Xiao’s right fist fiercely collided with the Huge-toothed Demon Lion’s massive right forepaw, controlling the creature, Lu Tianrun’s expression changed dramatically at that moment.

Boom!

The sound of the collision and energy raging transmitted from the sky, with Yun Xiao’s disproportionate form crashing into the giant day like a meteor, the power unleashed was unparalleled.

Having elevated his cultivation to the middle stage of the Floating Life Realm, Yun Xiao’s physical strength was already comparable to that of a middle-level or even high-level Silver Grade Sky Demon.

Although Lu Tianrun’s Huge-toothed Demon Lion Meridian Spirit excelled in physical strength, surpassing human cultivators of the same early to middle-stage Floating Life Realm, unfortunately, this time, it encountered Yun Xiao.

In the Slaughter Spirit Battlefield, Yun Xiao had refined many Spirit Crystals of Strange Spirits, among which included energies that enhanced physical strength, causing his physical strength to increase rapidly.

Moreover, Yun Xiao’s body now contained not only his own power but also the power of the Golden Snake Worm Xiao Wu, and the reaction from these two forces couldn’t be easily deduced by conventional means.

Thus, the low-level Silver Grade Sky Demon Huge-toothed Demon Lion managed to hold out for less than a moment before Yun Xiao’s fist violently blasted its right forepaw apart.

Bang!

Under the extreme strength augmentation, the low-level Silver Grade Sky Demon Huge-toothed Demon Lion’s entire right foreleg instantly exploded into a mist of blood, and upon witnessing this scene, the expressions of those watching from a distance varied greatly.

Fu Lingxue looked sullen, with even a hint of obscure dread. She resolved that if an opportunity arose to confront Yun Xiao later, she must avoid close combat and overpower with Meridian Qi cultivation.

As for the likes of Liu Hanyi and Mo Qing on the other side, they were both surprised and elated. They had previously been worried that the Huge-toothed Demon Lion was too formidable, not expecting it to be so easily defeated.

In contrast, Lu Tianrun, the person involved, had a much more complex expression, filled with confusion, anger, jealousy, and unwillingness.

These emotions, in the next moment, transformed entirely into a fighting spirit. After a brief shock, his hand seals changed abruptly, and the Huge-toothed Demon Lion, whose right foreleg was blasted apart, took the next action.

Strictly speaking, Vein Demons refined into Meridian Spirits felt no pain and only moved according to their master’s commands and seals.

Thus, even though the Huge-toothed Demon Lion’s right foreleg was shattered, it didn’t significantly diminish its combat power, differing fundamentally from ordinary Vein Demons.

At this moment, under Lu Tianrun’s seal control, the huge Lion Demon, with its blown right foreleg, spun its head around and aimed its mouth full of sharp teeth directly at Yun Xiao’s waist.

If it were an ordinary middle-stage Floating Life Realm cultivator, they might be so lost in the recent victory that they would be caught off guard, becoming an opportunity for the pain-free Meridian Spirit to bite them in half.

At least, that’s what Lu Tianrun believed would happen. His reaction was not slow; by normal expectations, a Vein Demon with a blown foreleg should be writhing in pain and wouldn’t respond this quickly.

Despite the speed, the Huge-toothed Demon Lion’s bite was incredibly accurate, and since it was called the Huge-toothed Demon Lion, its sharp and hard teeth were its most formidable aspect.

The bite force of these lion teeth was extremely powerful; even some pure gold and steel would snap in two under its bite, let alone human flesh.

Lu Tianrun believed that if the Huge-toothed Demon Lion landed the bite, the youth would be dead instantly, with no chance of recovery. Such force wasn’t as simple as just hitting with a right forepaw.

”Hmph, I’d like to see if your stinking lion teeth are more formidable, or if my Yun Xiao’s strength is stronger?”

Seeing the lion head with its bloody mouth open towards his waist, Yun Xiao was spurred by a hint of bloodlust, or perhaps due to Xiao Wu’s power loan, he found himself in a special state of frenzy.

Whoosh!

Crunch!

Yun Xiao slightly moved his body, followed by a teeth-clenching bite sound suddenly echoing as the Huge-toothed Demon Lion bit down, its sound alone conveying a powerful momentum.

Unfortunately for the Huge-toothed Demon Lion, it ultimately failed to bite Yun Xiao. Yet Yun Xiao didn’t dodge too far; in the next moment, one could see Yun Xiao’s hands encircle one of the Huge-toothed Demon Lion’s sharp fangs.

”What does he intend to do?”

Seeing this scene, Liu Mo and others nearby, along with Wuyan Palace’s Vice Palace Master Fu Lingxue, all had a glimmer of doubt in their eyes, puzzling over Yun Xiao’s intent with his current action.

It was known that the Huge-toothed Demon Lion’s most powerful force came from its sharp teeth, and Yun Xiao’s action suggested he intended to use his physical strength to pull out that sharp fang, but how could that be possible?

Especially for Lu Tianrun, who, even though he had witnessed Yun Xiao’s physical strength, never imagined that a middle-stage Seeking Origin Realm human boy could snap off the reputedly hard fangs of a Huge-toothed Demon Lion with his bare hands.

”Open for me!”

Just when everyone doubted that Yun Xiao could possess such immense strength, Yun Xiao suddenly let out a great shout, and the next moment, a flash of dazzling golden light seemed to glimmer across his body.

Then, a miraculous scene unfolded.

Yun Xiao was seen holding the lion’s fang with both hands, his figure seemed to shift slightly, and the huge lion’s body began to twist frantically, as if it couldn’t endure the extreme pain.

In fact, having been refined into a Meridian Spirit, the Huge-toothed Demon Lion couldn’t sense pain at all. It was a reflexive action, because it knew that if it did nothing, its iconic sharp tooth would soon be lost to it.

Crack!

Unfortunately, whether it was the Demon Lion’s instincts or Lu Tianrun, who realized the impending danger, any attempt to react was already too late.

The sharp, tooth-grinding sound echoed abruptly, accompanied by a large splash of crimson blood shooting out from the Demon Lion’s mouth.

With its massive body and fangs roughly as long as Yun Xiao, when Yun Xiao pulled out the huge fang, it was as though he was wielding a bloody giant axe in the air, appearing both eerie and astonishing.

”Woo woo...”

The strongest of its fangs was forcibly pulled out, and even though the Huge-toothed Demon Lion couldn’t feel pain, it instinctively whimpered twice, its voice tinged with a hint of grievance.

”One more left!”

But Yun Xiao was relentless in his pursuit of victory. His slender figure moved with extreme agility, and with the Thunder Dragon’s Wings flapping behind him, in an instant, he was beside the other fang of the Huge-toothed Demon Lion.

Crack!

Repeating his previous actions, the immense body of the Huge-toothed Demon Lion ironically became its burden. Exploiting short-range maneuverability, Yun Xiao forcefully pulled out the other fang as well.

The Huge-toothed Demon Lion’s mouth was full of blood, while the human youth, nearly ten times smaller in size, held a giant, bloody fang in each hand. The disproportionate visual contrast was stark against the actual result of the battle.

At this moment, one could say that the Huge-toothed Demon Lion was a misnomer. Its once terrifying fangs, which had bitten through countless foes, were pulled out one after the other, without any resistance. It was a pitiful and lamentable sight.

”Yun Xiao, I’ll kill you!”

In contrast to the various thoughts of the onlookers, Lu Tianrun felt as if his chest was about to burst with anger. That was his hard-earned Meridian Spirit, now turned into a useless entity by Yun Xiao.

It must be noted that acquiring a Heaven Rank Meridian Spirit, even for someone at the Late-stage Floating Life Realm like Lu Tianrun, was not an easy feat. He had invested a tremendous amount of heart power for that Huge-toothed Demon Lion.

When capturing the Huge-toothed Demon Lion, Lu Tianrun had even been forced to sacrifice several Earth Concealing Realm subordinates from the Spirit Fighting Commerce to successfully capture and refine it.

The strongest assets of the Huge-toothed Demon Lion were its incredibly hard, sharp teeth, which had helped Lu Tianrun turn the tide in battles several times. Now it was rendered useless in such a state.

Since those two fangs were the Huge-toothed Demon Lion’s most formidable means, regrowing them would not come easy.

Given the Demon Lion’s own formidable strength, it’s not impossible that it may never regrow its fangs in its lifetime. It’s safe to say that Yun Xiao’s actions caused Lu Tianrun to lose a strong trump card akin to a powerful left or right arm.

Lu Tianrun knew clearly that if he were to deploy this Huge-toothed Demon Lion against enemies in the future, it would undoubtedly be a laughingstock. A lion without fangs, could it still be called a lion?

Moreover, prior to this, the Huge-toothed Demon Lion had already been blasted with one of its right legs by Yun Xiao, adding injury to injury, rendering it even more tragic.

After this encounter, Lu Tianrun realized that solely relying on the Meridian Spirit would never suffice against Yun Xiao. After all, his strongest Meridian Spirit only reached the level of a low-level Silver Grade Heavenly Demon.

The higher the rank of the Vein Demon, the greater their spiritual wisdom. Therefore, even human cultivators at the Heaven Rank face greater challenges when attempting to refine Vein Demons of similar ranks as their demon pets.

Unlike the Beast Vein Masters who tame Vein Demons as demon pets, refining involves erasing the Vein Demon’s wisdom. One might ask, faced with such a situation, which Vein Demon wouldn’t fight with all its might?

In that moment, Lu Tianrun resolved that using the Meridian Spirit was no longer an option. Instead, he would rely on his Meridian Qi Cultivation, which surpassed Yun Xiao by an entire realm, to crush him outright.

Boom!

As Lu Tianrun’s hand signs shifted, his body surged with Meridian Qi, instantly forming a massive mountain peak’s shadow before him, its power appeared astonishing.

It seemed that Lu Tianrun, too, was somewhat in awe of Yun Xiao’s displayed physical strength. He wouldn’t engage this extraordinarily strong young man head-on, preferring instead to deploy advanced Meridian Techniques, which was the righteous path to victory.
