Chương 9: 09 The strongest of the strong, Ice Emperor Hai Bodong!

Lin Tian stared blankly at the system notification.

Death Spider King?

Isn't this Bibi Dong's martial soul from Douluo Continent?

A top-tier beast spirit, the strongest among spider-type spirits!

It has two properties: extreme toxicity and the ability to devour.

The system notification said that it can be stacked with the Devouring Ancestral Symbol.

The absorption effect is doubled.

In other words, he will absorb battle qi twice as fast as before.

A smile appeared on Lin Tian's face.

Just as he was preparing to leave the Monster Mountain Range, a roar came from the sky.

A huge purple figure fell from the sky and crashed in front of him.

The ground shook.

Amethyst Winged Lion King.

It folded its wings, its pair of purple eyes fixed on Lin Tian.

He exuded a fierce aura.

"Boy, you absorbed my battle aura yesterday."

The Amethyst Winged Lion King spoke, his voice deep and imposing.

"You must leave your life behind today."

Its eyes were filled with murderous intent.

Having had 30% of its battle qi absorbed by Lin Tian yesterday, this sixth-tier magical beast was clearly unwilling to swallow this insult.

Today it is on guard and will not let Lin Tian succeed again.

Lin Tian looked at it, his face expressionless.

"Get out of here."

He said it casually.

"court death."

The Amethyst Winged Lion King roared.

It spread its wings and pounced on Lin Tian with its huge body.

The claws slammed down with a whoosh, even more vicious than yesterday's strike.

Lin Tian stood still, without dodging.

He raised his hand, simultaneously activating the power of the Devouring Ancestral Symbol and the Death Spider Emperor.

A devouring power twice as strong as before erupted from his palm.

Before the Amethyst Winged Lion King's claws even touched Lin Tian, its fighting spirit began to leak out wildly.

"What happened?"

The Amethyst Winged Lion King stared wide-eyed in terror.

The rate at which my fighting spirit is being depleted this time is much faster than yesterday.

It tried to retract its claws, but the devouring force bound it tightly like chains.

A powerful aura erupted from Lin Tian's body.

Eight-Star Fighting King.

Nine-Star Fighting King.

One-star Dou Huang.

In a short period of time, Lin Tian's strength skyrocketed from an eight-star Dou Wang to a one-star Dou Huang.

Seventy percent of the fighting spirit within the Amethyst Winged Lion King's body had already been absorbed.

Its once enormous body had shrunk considerably, and its aura had become extremely weak.

"Spare... spare my life..."

The voice of the Amethyst Winged Lion King was so weak that it was almost inaudible.

Lin Tian looked at it, his face expressionless.

He struck out with his palm.

boom.

The head of the Amethyst Winged Lion King exploded.

The enormous body crashed to the ground with a loud thud.

Lin Tian walked to the corpse and reached into its head.

After a while, he withdrew his hand.

A fist-sized purple crystal appeared in his palm.

A sixth-order magic core.

It is completely translucent and exudes a rich energy fluctuation.

Lin Tian carefully put away the magic core and dusted off his hands.

Then he turned and walked out of the Monster Mountain Range.

Behind him was only a huge corpse and blood everywhere.

……

Yun Yun returned to Yunlan Sect.

She descended from the sky and folded her battle wings.

When the disciples of the sect saw her, they all bowed their heads in respect.

Yun Yun nodded, crossed the square, and walked towards the main hall.

Nalan Yanran was already waiting outside the palace, and immediately came to greet Yun Yun upon seeing her.

"Teacher, you're back."

Yun Yun took out the Amethyst Source from her storage ring and handed it over.

It was a fist-sized purple crystal, completely translucent, radiating a warm glow.

The amethyst winged lion king's companion item is extremely precious.

"Take it and use it for cultivation."

Nalan Yanran accepted the Purple Crystal Source, a look of surprise on her face.

The teacher actually managed to get this thing when he went to the Monster Mountain Range.

"Teacher, that Amethyst Winged Lion King is a sixth-tier magical beast. Are you alright?"

Nalan Yanran looked at Yun Yun with some concern.

Several elders also came over and asked questions.

"Sect Master, the Amethyst Winged Lion King is quite powerful. Did your trip go smoothly?"

"Did that beast harm the sect leader?"

As Yun Yun listened to these words, images of the cave suddenly flashed through her mind.

Yun Yun's face immediately turned red, from her cheeks to the roots of her ears.

"teacher?"

Nalan Yanran looked at her with a puzzled expression.

"Teacher, what's wrong? Why is your face so red? Are you feeling unwell?"

Several elders also noticed Yun Yun's unusual behavior and looked at each other in bewilderment.

Yun Yun snapped out of her daze and immediately put on a stern face.

"It's nothing."

Her voice returned to its usual cool and aloof tone.

"Focus on your cultivation and don't lose to Xiao Yan."

"If we are defeated by him, it will be a disgrace to the Yunlan Sect."

Upon hearing this, Nalan Yanran immediately became serious.

"This disciple understands and will never bring shame upon the sect."

Yun Yun nodded and didn't say anything more.

She turned and walked toward her bedroom, her steps quickening slightly.

The elders stood there, feeling that something was off about their sect leader today.

But I can't quite put my finger on what's wrong.

……

Yunyun pushed open the door to her boudoir, went inside, and closed the door behind her.

She leaned against the door, her hand supporting her forehead.

The heat on my face hadn't subsided yet.

The things that happened in the cave kept popping into my head.

That's it.

……

After leaving the Monster Mountain Range, Lin Tian flew towards Stone Desert City.

With his battle aura wings unfurled behind him, he swiftly traversed the clouds.

His strength has increased from an eight-star Dou Wang to a one-star Dou Huang.

Having absorbed 70% of the battle qi of the Amethyst Winged Lion King, and with the doubled effect of the Death Spider King, he directly broke through two realms.

The fighting spirit within his body was several times stronger than before.

Half a day later, Lin Tian landed on the streets of Stone Desert City.

Shimo City is the largest city in the desert area.

People came and went on the street, mercenaries carried weapons as they walked by, and vendors set up stalls on the roadside to sell their wares.

Lin Tian didn't linger on the street and headed straight into the city.

The place he was going to was an inconspicuous shop.

The shop is small, sandwiched between two buildings, and its signboard is covered with a layer of dust.

The shop owner was an elderly man with gray hair, who was sitting behind the counter with his eyes closed, resting.

Ice Emperor, Hai Bodong.

He was once one of the top ten strongest warriors in the Jia Ma Empire, a Dou Huang-level expert.

Later, for some reason, his fighting spirit was sealed, and his strength plummeted.

Now he's just an old man running a shop, making a living by selling groceries.

Lin Tian walked into the shop, and the door creaked open.

Hai Bodong opened his eyes.

His gaze fell on Lin Tian, and he looked him up and down.

A boy, dressed plainly, showed no particular talent.

"Buying something?"

Hai Bodong asked casually.

"I want that mysterious fragment of the map you have."

Lin Tian spoke directly.

Hai Bodong's expression changed instantly.

Only he himself knew about that incomplete map.

Where did this boy hear that from?

"What fragment of a map?"

Hai Bodong asked calmly, his expression unchanged.

He had obtained that fragment of a map by chance in his early years, and had kept it on his person ever since, never mentioning it to anyone.

"Who exactly are you?"

Hai Bodong's voice turned somber.
