Long Chen sat on the back of the little golden-furred lion, listening to the furious roars of the lions behind him. A cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth:
"You still dare to bare your teeth at me? Just wait, I'll try to get you buried in peace as soon as possible."
If he hadn't heard news from the human race, Long Chen would never have let the little lion beneath him spare no matter what. He had even been planning beforehand to try to ambush and kill a six-vein emperor-level golden-maned lion.
However, Long Chen had no confidence at all about whether he could take them down. These golden-haired lions had terrifying blood and blood, carrying chaotic energy. It was obvious they had extraordinary origins—they must be remnants of chaos.
These races left over from the chaotic era all possess terrifying bloodline divine abilities; their true strength is often even greater than their appearance.
"Rumble rumble... At
first, the golden-maned lion walked very slowly, limping. It was Long Chen who threw it, channeling part of the star power into the ground beneath his feet, making the earth as hard as steel. So, even with its terrifying body, it couldn't withstand those few blows.
Now that Long Chen had released its restrictions, its body began to recover rapidly, and its speed gradually increased.
"Why are you running so fast? Heading to a funeral? Slow down, play it safe. Long Chen shouted.
Hearing Long Chen's words, the golden-maned lion had to slow down, but its eyes were about to shoot fire.
He was the strongest among the younger generation of the Golden Lion Clan, the future clan leader, and somehow had such bad luck today to run into Long Chen's hands.
Now that Long Chen had used him as a mount, it was not only a disgrace to him, but to the entire Golden Lion clan. Gritting his teeth, it was probably thinking about how to slaughter Long Chen in the future.
Long Chen didn't care what the guy was thinking. He looked around, checking the aura here. He noticed that the spiritual energy here was gradually stabilizing, unlike the previous places where the air was filled with violent demonic energy.
If Long Chen wanted to cultivate using the power of heaven and earth, he would need to specifically remove demonic energy, which would invisibly delay his advancement efficiency.
Fortunately, Long Chen's strength was relatively strong, so removing the demonic energy was relatively easier. But for others, especially those who were weaker, removing the demonic energy consumed too much energy. Without the formation to assist, it would be a loss outweighing the gain.
The spiritual energy here was the same as the location of the Dragon Domain—dense and pure, unpolluted, making it a better place for cultivation.
"Who is it?"
Just as Long Chen had been riding the golden-maned lion forward for over an hour, a sudden shout came from ahead. Immediately after, Long Chen saw more than a dozen people, each holding weapons, staring at him.
"Roar!"
Before Long Chen could respond, the golden-maned lion let out a low growl. The dozen or so people trembled in fear. They were just a group of young Divine Sovereigns, trembling all over at the lion's low, three-vein emperor pressure from the lion, not daring to move at all.
The golden-haired lion swaggered past them. Long Chen hadn't seen humans in a long time. He waved warmly to them, and when they saw Long Chen riding a golden-haired lion, their mouths opened wide in an instant, but they couldn't make a sound.
As Long Chen rode the golden-maned lion and continued forward, he realized this must be human territory, with those disciples stationed on guard outside.
The golden-maned lion continued forward. Long Chen saw beams of light shooting into the sky in the distance. Clearly, this was a human message warning, and this kind of warning was very primitive.
"Buzz."
Suddenly, Long Chen felt the surrounding void tremble slightly. He was stunned. There was no barrier here, but it was as if he had stepped into it.
"The aura here! So ancient! Long
Chen clearly felt that upon reaching this spot, his aura suddenly changed. He even felt as if he had stepped into an ancient era.
"Respected Golden Lion Clan, this is a restricted area for the human race. Please stop." At that moment, a voice filled with respect yet authority rang out.
Soon after, a group of people appeared—men and women, old and young—all dressed in ancient and strange clothing—something Long Chen had never seen before.
Leading them was a thin, middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties. His aura was obscure, which startled Long Chen. He was a dual-vein emperor, yet Long Chen could sense that his presence was extremely formidable.
Although he was a dual-vein emperor, Long Chen estimated that this person's true combat power could rival a four-vein emperor, or even higher.
Standing in the row with the middle-aged man were a group of emperor-level beings, but most of them were ordinary Human Emperors; only the middle-aged man had dual-vein Human Emperors.
Behind this group of Human Emperor experts were countless young men and women. Their auras were powerful, like swords drawn from their sheaths, each with eyes as sharp as blades—clearly true masters.
Long Chen was slightly startled when he saw them. Encountering so many experts at once was truly shocking.
These disciples' auras were similar to the Dragon Clan's strong warriors, but in one-on-one combat, the Dragon Domain disciples were no match for them. They were true masters who fought their way out of the battlefield. After all, the Dragon Domain disciples had lived in comfort for too long; catching up to them was not something that could be achieved in a day or two.
Long Chen was shocked to see this group, and the group looked even more horrified upon seeing him, almost unable to believe their eyes. A human could actually ride a golden-haired lion here, and a three-veined emperor-level golden-haired lion at that.
The leader of the dual-vein emperors only noticed the appearance of the golden-haired lion Long Chen was riding after speaking. When he recognized the lion, his pupils contracted, almost unable to believe his eyes. He recognized the identity of the golden-haired lion.
The humans had lived with the Golden Lion clan for countless years and understood each other to some extent. As for the future clan leader of the Golden Lion clan, as a high-ranking member of the human race, this was essential intelligence.
At first, he didn't pay attention, thinking the golden-haired lion was just an ordinary third-branch emperor of the Golden Lion clan, which led to the earlier polite remarks.
If he had known the golden lion's origin from the start, he would have used a different story to highlight its noble status.
However, the man was also extremely clever. Seeing the golden-maned lion's grim face and eyes almost blazing, he knew it must have been forced.
Just thinking about someone daring to force the future chieftain of the Golden Lion Clan to be his mount made the man's scalp tingle. Who exactly was this man in black?
"Bang!"
Long Chen jumped down from the golden-furred lion's back and kicked its rear: "Get lost!" The
golden-maned lion staggered from the kick, gritted its teeth, said nothing, and just turned and left with its tail between its legs. All the strong warriors present were left dumbfounded.
