Roar!

The sleeping Grand Shadow Fire Lion was directly awakened by the commotion caused by Wang Xu. When it saw the golden giant towering a hundred meters high, it opened its giant mouth and let out an earth-shattering roar.

"Come on!" With dark golden eyes staring at the Grand Shadow Fire Lion, the bone saber in Wang Xu's hand similarly swelled to hundreds of meters, the Truth Power surged, he swung the bone saber, and with a mighty step, charged fiercely towards the Grand Shadow Fire Lion.

The Grand Shadow Fire Lion was not to be outdone, its enormous body bowed, then suddenly opened its two flame-burning lion paws to pounce, eyes surging with a monstrous bloodthirsty ferocity, attempting to rip Wang Xu to shreds!

Boom!

The ground cracked, the golden giant and the Grand Shadow Fire Lion clashed, the two Core Powers of Wang Xu erupted, confronting the Grand Shadow Fire Lion!

"As expected, the Late Stage Emperor Spirit Realm Ancient Fierce Beast is formidable!"

Feeling the power in the lion paws of the Grand Shadow Fire Lion, Wang Xu's arms trembled slightly, clearly having difficulty coping with this immense force.

However, relying on his exceptional Body Technique Speed, although Wang Xu's power could not compare to the Grand Shadow Fire Lion, he could skillfully evade the Grand Shadow Fire Lion's onslaught and find the most opportune moment to attack.

Roar~

The Grand Shadow Fire Lion's eyes blazed with flames, anger burning within. It, as a Late Stage Emperor Spirit Realm Ancient Fierce Beast, had acquired the wisdom of normal creatures, and could easily see through Wang Xu's Realm.

It did not expect a mere "ant" at the peak of the Ancient Spirit Realm to dare covet the treasure it guarded, nor did it expect the "ant" to possess strength matching its own!

Suddenly, the Grand Shadow Fire Lion let out a deafening angry roar, its flame-wreathed body unexpectedly swelled, the roaring flames surged even more violently, and a wild aura spread from its body.

"Bloodline Burst!"

Wang Xu's heart shivered.

Bloodline Burst is a natural ability of every Ancient Fierce Beast; they are descendants of Ancient Fierce Beasts, inheriting the power of the bloodline. Despite the long inheritance diluting the bloodline power, even a trace is enough to unleash boundless mighty power!

Roar roar roar!

The Grand Shadow Fire Lion's body swelled larger than Wang Xu's hundred-meter golden giant, its cold and merciless eyes gazed down at Wang Xu, as if looking at an ant, lifting its flaming lion paw to press down ruthlessly!

This strike seemed slow, incomparable to its previous sharp, continuous assaults; it was a very simple strike that still gave Wang Xu a terrifying feeling of being unable to dodge!

"Damn it! What's going on! It's obviously so slow, why do I feel there's nowhere to hide?" Wang Xu was shocked, and the bone saber in his hand no longer displayed a stormy offensive but switched to a defensive stance.

Yet, even though Wang Xu had reacted and put up a defense, the power of the Bloodline Burst Grand Shadow Fire Lion was much stronger than he imagined!

"Wow..."

Like paper, Wang Xu's arms were almost broken, his knees nearly crippled, he spat out several mouthfuls of fresh blood, and his body was blown back.

"What terrifying power!"

Luckily, this strike only shattered Wang Xu's flesh, causing a slight tremor in the Core without inflicting substantial wounds. Wang Xu quickly stabilized his form, and his damaged flesh rapidly repaired at a visible speed, his face pale, looking at the Grand Shadow Fire Lion with a hint of worry in his eyes.

The power after the Bloodline Burst of the Grand Shadow Fire Lion was too strong, fully comparable to the third saber of seventh brother Ling Wu. If not for Wang Xu's experience in dealing with pressure over the years, this strike might have shattered his Core, leaving him without the will to continue fighting!

"Endure! If I can endure until the Bloodline Burst ends and it grows weak, that'll be my chance to turn the tide!" Wang Xu roared in his heart.

Bloodline Burst is formidable power exchanged by the Ancient Fierce Beast through sacrificing their inner bloodline power, it cannot last forever. Once the Bloodline Burst ends, the depletion of bloodline power will plunge the Grand Shadow Fire Lion into a prolonged period of weakness.

And this period of weakness is the perfect opportunity for Wang Xu to slay the Grand Shadow Fire Lion!

Boom!

The Grand Shadow Fire Lion struck again, the flaming lion paw almost tearing Wang Xu's Golden Body apart!

Clearly, the Grand Shadow Fire Lion also knew its Bloodline Burst wouldn't last long. If it couldn't eliminate this "ant" during the power burst, once the Bloodline Burst passed, it would be in a passive situation!

The Grand Shadow Fire Lion launched a frenzied assault, each strike almost exerting all its strength, trying to kill Wang Xu on the spot. Wang Xu barely dodged, relying on the superb Body Technique Speed from "Assault", using his blood to continuously delay time.

...

Rip!

"Damn, my Core is getting damaged!" This attack left Wang Xu's body in shambles, beyond repair in time. Without the protection of his body, the Core took a direct hit, with several shallow cracks immediately appearing on the surface.

The Core is the essence of life, once it's damaged Wang Xu clearly felt his aura drop abruptly by several degrees.

It seemed that the Grand Shadow Fire Lion sensed Wang Xu had been injured, and it went berserk, slapping, tearing, pouncing, biting... doing everything it could.

Wang Xu endured again and again, without the slightest power to retaliate.

The wounds on his core kept increasing, from initially shallow marks to now obvious cracks, Wang Xu's power kept declining, yet he still held on, refusing to give up.

At this moment—

"Hmm? This strike's power is off!" Wang Xu noticed that the Grand Shadow Fire Lion's power was diminishing!

Without needing further observation, the violent aura of the Grand Shadow Fire Lion was evidently dropping, returning to its previous state, and even worse than before.

"This isn't right! Only its aura weakened, but this Grand Shadow Fire Lion showed no fear; on the contrary, its killing intent was more intense! It's a trap!" Wang Xu wasn't fooled by this phenomenon and saw through this setup immediately.

The Ancient Fierce Beast is indeed cunning!

Knowing Wang Xu wouldn't leave, refusing to retreat even when heavily injured, was merely waiting for the moment when its bloodthirst would end, it deliberately let its aura plummet, power retract, showing a weakened state after a bloodthirsty outburst ceases.

If Wang Xu dared to counterattack now, the Grand Shadow Fire Lion would erupt with even greater force than before, killing Wang Xu in one fell swoop!

What a pity, this trick works against novices, but against an experienced fighter like Wang Xu, it's too naive.

After a moment, when the Grand Shadow Fire Lion saw Wang Xu had no intention to retaliate, realizing its trap was seen through, panic appeared in its eyes.

"Now's the time!"

Wang Xu accurately captured this change in the Grand Shadow Fire Lion, immediately judging that its bloodthirsty explosion time was nearly over, would soon enter a weakened state, to prevent the Grand Shadow Fire Lion from escaping, Wang Xu sprang into action!

"Die!"

With extreme speed, Wang Xu almost instantly appeared before the Grand Shadow Fire Lion, and a thousand phantoms of the Bone Saber slashed down!

Roar~~

The back of the Grand Shadow Fire Lion was directly slashed open by Wang Xu, flames igniting its blood, the intense pain causing the Grand Shadow Fire Lion to wail.

However, the Grand Shadow Fire Lion was unable to counterattack, its flames weakened instantly, and its aura plummeted to an icy level, meaning its bloodthirsty outburst time had fully ended, entering a weakened phase!

Strike while you're down!

Wang Xu's icy eyes held no emotion, showing no mercy to his enemy.

Moments later, with a roar of unwillingness soaring to the skies, the massive body crashed to the ground, Wang Xu's Bone Saber pierced repeatedly, directly carving open the Grand Shadow Fire Lion's flesh, extracting its core.

Gulp.

Wang Xu swallowed the core directly, the pure Constant Spirit Power crazily mending the cracks in Wang Xu's core.

This core of a late-stage Emperor Spirit Realm Ancient Fierce Beast, in the core area of the First Layer, it's a treasure placed on the highest standard auctions, fought over fiercely by countless forces, now all became part of Wang Xu's Constant Spirit within.

Crack... crack!

Wang Xu's core emitted a humming shiver, then several cracks appeared, yet within those cracks burst forth bright blue light, exuding a completely different aura!

Emperor Spirit Realm!

At this moment, Wang Xu, having swallowed the core of the Grand Shadow Fire Lion, was gradually stepping into the Emperor Spirit Realm.

For the current Wang Xu, entering the Emperor Spirit Realm was no longer a difficult task, it just needed a breakthrough opportunity, and right now is the best moment.

"Without bottlenecks blocking, it's indeed different." Ascending to the Emperor Spirit Realm, Wang Xu let out a sigh, in the realm of the Ganges River beings, there are no obstacles, any Ganges River being, given enough time, will reach the Emperor Spirit Realm one day.

Clenching and releasing his hand, feeling the endless changes the Emperor Spirit Realm brought, Wang Xu punched into the air, the ground trembling as a result; presumably if Wang Xu struck with full force, the entire earth would be broken through!

"If I'd known the Emperor Spirit Realm would boost my power so much, I should have ascended first before facing the Grand Shadow Fire Lion." Wang Xu shook his head with a laugh.

With his current strength, handling the Grand Shadow Fire Lion would need no effort like before, he could completely withstand the bloodthirsty explosion head-on, directly crushing the Grand Shadow Fire Lion to death!

Retracting his strength, calming his aura, Wang Xu's gaze shifted to a scepter in the distance, surrounded by colorful flames.

The golden giant's body returned to its original form, Wang Xu strode forward, grasping the scepter, flames spurted out as if an angry dragon trying to engulf Wang Xu completely.

Against such a masterless scepter, with just a bit of flame, harming Wang Xu is simply a pipe dream, even if the Venerable of Ten Thousand Flames personally wielded it, may not cause any harm to Wang Xu.

"Mission accomplished, it's time to go back." Stowing away the scepter, Wang Xu turned around, hurried towards the location of the Teleportation Array, now that he had ascended to the Emperor Spirit Realm, even just his speed had improved significantly.
