Chapter 354: You're Lucky

【In the three thousand seven hundredth year, the Marrow-Eating Bear Emperor helped you verify the process of first incorporating the Separated Fire to temper the soul, confirming this method held no danger; you raised your hand to signal the other to continue】

Let the lingering remnants of the demons repeat endlessly until you have completely mastered it.

Shen Yi did not feel heartache over this small amount of lifespan.

He currently possessed no means to protect his soul; being cautious was never wrong.

When the lingering remnants of the Bear Emperor began to show signs of dispersing.

The Silver-Backed Ape Emperor, who had long been prepared, stepped in to take its place.

Shen Yi still had many such Soul Transformation demon remnants.

【In the twelve thousand three hundredth year, the Red-Hearted Snake Emperor encountered a mishap while attempting to incorporate the Separated Fire for the fifth time; its lingering remnant was completely burned away by the surging Separated Fire. Fortunately, Shenxu Laozu had observed the entire process and quickly identified the problem】

"Tsk."

Watching the notification sweep across the panel, Shen Yi withdrew his gaze, his heart still trembling with fear.

If it were a wandering cultivator from the outside, even if lucky enough to obtain this Separated Fire Heart-Burning Palm, they would not know how many expert lives they would have to sacrifice to complete this final step.

Supported by over ten thousand years of demon lifespan, Shenxu Laozu finally deduced the complete Separated Fire Heart-Burning Palm.

They then had the lingering remnants of other Demon Emperors verify it once more.

"..."

Shen Yi's expression gradually grew solemn; in the next moment, the golden light on his eyes nearly dispersed.

A surging burning pain surged into his heart.

Beneath his powerful physique, his fragile soul began to tremble wildly.

Until a colorless flame brand appeared on his soul, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, only to find a second wave of excruciating pain followed immediately.

The entire process lasted ten thousand years on the panel.

When the final line of notification leaped up, Shen Yi leaned against the treasure throne, his whole body twitching slightly, his gaze somewhat numb.

【In the twenty-first thousandth year, you successfully left five Separated Fire brands within your soul and learned how to drive these brands into another's soul with your bare palm】

【Soul Transformation: Separated Fire Heart-Burning Palm (Precious): Perfection】

【Remaining Demon Lifespan: Thirty-six thousand years】

With the realm of early Soul Transformation, he had mastered two of the world's supreme Precious Arts, and both were cultivated to the level of Perfection.

Attacking both internally and externally, he lacked no methods.

Now, only the technique to elevate his realm remained.

Shen Yi closed his eyes to feign sleep, adjusting himself to his optimal state.

Just five days had passed when that old Azure Dragon came knocking, unable to wait.

"How is the Lion Emperor recovering?"

It had clearly been thwarted by someone else again, doing its utmost to conceal the anxiety in its heart.

"..."

Shen Yi sensed the cultivator's aura hidden behind the Azure-Tailed Dragon.

He finally rose from the treasure throne: "Let us depart."

"Good! Good!"

The Azure-Tailed Demon Emperor was overjoyed: "Brother, you are still reliable."

To deal with Yu Chaoan, it alone was sufficient; it mainly needed another Demon Emperor to help intercept.

"What is going on?"

Yu Chaoan followed stealthily from behind; though he dared not get too close, he could still vaguely see the figure of that lion.

If he wasn't mistaken, that seemed to be the Golden-Eyed Lion?

This old Azure Dragon truly could find no one else to help; even the Demon Emperor of the Fortieth Cave was acceptable.

He shook his head, too lazy to think much of it.

This time, he had specifically returned to borrow a proper Great Array from Senior Brother Tong and lay an ambush on the必经 road to Mount Wutong.

Master had said not to provoke the Thousand Demon Cave for the time being.

But this was the Azure-Tailed Demon Emperor looking for trouble.

A single battle to achieve fame, right today!

Yu Chaoan rubbed the bruises on his face; seeing the two demons heading straight out of the Thousand Demon Cave, he hurried to follow.

Hunting a Demon Emperor of the Sixteenth Cave.

For any cultivator, this was an extraordinary matter.

Even he, a disciple of Mount Wutong, felt somewhat nervous at this moment.

"Yes! They are heading this way."

Yu Chaoan narrowed his eyes, so excited that his fingertips trembled slightly.

Compared to last time, when he merely toyed with that earthworm.

This time, the opponent had voluntarily left the Thousand Demon Cave, bringing only a small lion by his side.

If the Azure-Tailed Demon Emperor truly fell into the array, he had at least a sixty percent chance of killing the opponent.

Just then, Yu Chaoan's pupils contracted slightly.

He saw that when the Golden-Eyed Lion Emperor was only a few zhang away from the array he had set, it suddenly stopped.

"Lion Emperor, what is wrong?"

The Azure-Tailed Demon Emperor turned back in surprise.

"It's bad!" Yu Chaoan cried inwardly, his heart beating faster and faster.

However, what he least expected was that the lion merely said discontentedly: "How long exactly do you intend to lead this Emperor on a wild goose chase?"

"This, this has only just come out."

The Dark-Tailed Demon Emperor was nearly blown up with rage; even knowing that capable people inevitably have tempers, this foul lion's temper was simply too great.

But at this moment, it could only stabilize the other first: "We are not far from this place already, come quickly with me."

Saying this, the Dark-Tailed Demon Emperor put on an air of full confidence and strode quickly toward the front.

"Haa..."

Yu Chaoan forcefully patted his chest, nearly unable to catch his breath.

While inwardly surprised that the Dark-Tailed Demon Emperor was so polite to the lion, his hands were not slow at all as he formed the hand seals, soaring into the sky, and sneering: "Little mud eel, who are you looking for?"

Vast spiritual energy erupted from his fingertips, as if pulling something.

In an instant, flames rose from the ground, forming several mighty fire pillars at a speed impossible to react to; they connected in the sky and then crashed down with a boom, completely enveloping the Dark-Tailed Demon Emperor.

"Aaaah!"

The Dark-Tailed Demon Emperor instantly transformed into its massive true form, trying to struggle, but found its four limbs and head entirely wrapped by those fire pillars.

It was both shocked and furious: "You seek death!"

"Still talking tough."

Yu Chaoan sneered without stopping, clumsily manipulating the formation.

He also glanced toward the distance: "Consider yourself lucky, get lost quickly!"

He now needed to focus on dealing with this mud eel and had no time to attend to that Golden-Eyed Lion Emperor.

"It is lucky, but this Emperor sees your luck is not so good!"

While struggling, the Dark-Tailed Demon Emperor also let out laughter.

Obviously, Yu Chaoan was still regarding that lion as being at the early stage of Soul Transformation.

"Lion Emperor, did I not lie to you! Right here! Quickly join this Emperor in slaughtering this foolish cultivator!"

Under the gaze of both.

That tall lion suddenly leaped up, and immense demonic power erupted.

"..." Yu Chaoan, who had just become alert, blinked; he hadn't felt wrong, it was still early-stage Soul Transformation.

"..." The Dark-Tailed Demon Emperor was also stunned for an instant.

What did this mean? Could it be that he had truly misjudged? With such strength, could one kill Zhang Xuanyan and dare to despise the Thunder-Hoof Demon Emperor?!

But within a single breath, the doubt in the Dark-Tailed Demon Emperor's eyes turned to furious rage.

It saw that the direction from which the lion leaped had its target clearly as itself.

Boom—

A huge lion paw slammed down forcefully onto the Dark-Tailed Demon Emperor's head.

Its robust body, eight zhang tall, assumed a slamming posture; it pressed down on the side of the dragon's head and, with unstoppable force, violently forced it down and smashed it into the ground!
