Chapter 410 Post-War, Reaping the Fruit
At this moment, the Flame Lion was at its weakest.
The strongest defensive fire shield that it had temporarily conjured to withstand the combined attack of the human-faced dragon and Cang Nan has been forcibly broken.
The backlash from the destruction of its supernatural powers caused its internal blood and qi to surge, resulting in significant internal injuries.
The old forces have gone, and the new forces have not yet arisen.
It had no strength left to resist Chen Yi's earth-shattering finger strike.
"roar!"
At the critical moment of life and death, the Flame Lion let out a roar of unwilling anger.
Left with no other choice, it had to frantically squeeze out the little power left in its body, forcibly extracting its natal flame demon essence and converging it in one place in its dantian to form the last hasty and weak line of defense.
It had only one thought in its mind: it hoped that the bald little monk was just trying to bluff, and that the strength of this finger strike was not as high as it had imagined!
However, the next moment, it despaired.
It finally experienced firsthand just how terrifying the Vajra Temple's most powerful fundamental supernatural power, Vajra Indestructibility, was, enabling it to survive for hundreds of thousands of years.
Chen Yi's finger, imbued with the strongest Vajra Indestructible Divine Power, was like a red-hot golden needle, easily piercing the butter.
scoff!
The demonic flames that the Flame Lion had temporarily conjured were as fragile as a thin sheet of paper in front of that finger, and were instantly pierced.
Without the slightest hesitation, the finger force penetrated deep into the dantian of the fiery lion with an unstoppable and resolute momentum.
Then, with perfect precision, it struck its fiery demon infant.
Time seemed to stand still at that moment.
The Flame Lion's massive body froze. It could clearly feel an extremely yang, powerful, and indestructible force erupting from the core of its demonic infant.
puff!
The fiery lion suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood mixed with fragments of internal organs. Its massive body was sent flying backward as if struck head-on by a battering ram, carving a deep trench in the ground.
Within its dantian, the flaming Dao infant that had been burning like a small sun now had dim spiritual light and was covered with spiderweb-like cracks, almost having its life force extinguished by Chen Yi's finger.
The fiery lion struggled to get up, but it didn't even have the strength to move a paw.
Its breath was like a flood bursting its banks, falling endlessly downwards.
Compared to the feigned near-death state Chen Yi had just created, the Flame Lion was now truly seriously injured.
Nine out of ten chances of survival, no, ten chances of survival.
Even if it manages to escape today, it would take at least a hundred years of hard work and countless resources to restore it to its current state.
But with Chen Yi's guidance, the battle was far from over.
How could their allies, the Human-Faced Flood Dragon and Cang Nan, possibly let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?
Brush brush!
A hint of pleasure flashed in the eyes of the human-faced dragon. It opened its mouth and spat out three life-bound scales that shimmered with an eerie light. These scales drew three strange arcs in the air, arriving first despite being delayed, and directly blocked all possible escape routes for the flame lion.
The scales did not attack the physical body, but rather carried a peculiar power of law, instantly penetrating the flame lion's body.
puff!puff!puff!
The Flame Lion's body convulsed violently a few times, and three scales precisely locked onto three important acupoints in its body. The violent power directly destroyed its three main demonic energy meridians.
Its aura plummeted once again.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Cangnan had already drawn his bow and nocked an arrow.
The longbow in his hand gleamed with runes, and an arrow, flashing with an eerie light, had already locked onto its target.
"Arrow of Spellbreaker!"
Whoosh!
The arrow left the bowstring without making a sound, as if it pierced through space itself, and in a flash it arrived in front of the fire lion, pointing directly at its face.
puff!
The arrow pierced the fire lion's head without any obstruction and exited from the back of its skull.
A bizarre scene unfolded: the few remaining flames on the lion's head seemed to be ignited by something, suddenly blazing brightly before being completely consumed and vanishing into nothingness.
The aura of the Flame Lion truly revealed its near-death state.
Its eyes had completely lost their sparkle.
At this moment, how could it not understand?
It turns out, it was all a setup.
A deadly trap set for it.
The Human-Faced Flood Dragon and Cang Nan, its two long-time nemesis, had already colluded with this mysterious young human monk from the Great Azure Realm.
"So—so the three of you were in cahoots."
A broken voice came from the fluctuations of the Flame Lion's soul.
"Before—it was all an act for me!"
As it lay dying, its heart was filled with endless resentment and unwillingness.
Meanwhile, Yin Yan of the Silver Spirit Clan, who was standing to the side, did not make a move from beginning to end. He remained at a distance, as if watching a drama that had nothing to do with him.
With his last breath, the Flame Lion turned and glared at him resentfully.
His eyes were filled with resentment, as if to say: You are an accomplice too!
Then, it left behind its last words.
"Just you wait! When I, the true self, arrive here, I will devour you all alive!"
Especially your Vajra Temple in the Great Azure Realm, I will lead the Demon Emperor Realm to annihilate your Vajra Temple's lineage!
The next moment, a resolute glint flashed in its eyes.
Boom!
The fiery lion detonated its own body, unleashing a violent energy shockwave that spread outwards.
At the heart of the explosion, its natal demonic infant transformed into a golden flame the size of a grain of rice, instantly tearing through space and breaking through the limitations of the ancient battlefield.
They fled the area immediately.
None of the people present could stop it.
This time, the Flame Lion made a drastic sacrifice, abandoning its powerful physical body cultivated for nearly a thousand years, retaining only its divine soul at the Nascent Soul level and its demonic essence to escape. The price it paid was considerable.
To reshape one's physical body and restore one's cultivation, it would require not only more than a hundred years, but also a vast amount of rare and precious natural materials.
In the resource-scarce cultivation world of Great Green, this would be an almost impossible task.
Of course, precisely because it paid such a heavy price, its speed and method of escape far exceeded the norm.
When it tore through space to escape at all costs, Chen Yi and the others, whose true strength had not reached the fifth rank, were indeed unable to stop it.
With the Flame Lion gone, the greatest threat to this place has been eliminated. The most important three-colored spirit fruit is now unobstructed.
Chen Yi dissipated the golden light, his aura stabilized, and he looked at the other three.
"Everyone, I just risked my life and acted as bait to catch that monster off guard."
Moreover, that demonic lion has sworn to destroy the lineage of my Vajra Temple, which comes with its own price and risks.
I'm sure everyone has seen it.
He paused, then said in a calm tone.
"As we agreed beforehand, this fruit belongs to me. Does anyone have any objections?"
