At a critical moment, space suddenly shattered as three terrifying figures emerged above the Abyssal Lion Clan's territory.
Seeing their faces, the Grand Elder of the Abyssal Lion Clan froze, his expression changing dramatically—clearly, he recognized the intruders.
The Lion King took a step forward and shouted coldly, "You from the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan dare trespass on my Clan's land! Do you think so little of us? If you don't give an explanation, even with your status in the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan, you won't leave here unscathed!"
"An explanation? Hah! It's your Abyssal Lion Clan that owes us an explanation! Will you hand over the Abyssal Lion who possesses our Heavenly Demon Phoenix blood, or not?!" snarled the black-robed elder to the left of the man in the yellow robe.
His voice was hoarse, and his massive wings radiated a destructive aura. This was clearly a powerful Ban Sheng expert.
The yellow-robed man from the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan looked at the Lion King indifferently and said, "So, you're this generation's Lion King? Your strength isn't bad, but it's far from enough.
Had the Abyssal Lion Clan been in its prime, we wouldn't dare act so arrogantly before your Lion King. But now, your Clan is no match for ours. Considering our past neutrality, hand over the Abyssal Lion with our bloodline, or the Beast Region will no longer have a Abyssal Lion Clan!"
"You—!"
The Lion King's face flushed with fury. This man dared to threaten the destruction of the Abyssal Lion Clan!
Before he could lash out in anger, the Grand Elder shook his head slightly and stepped forward, bowing to the three Heavenly Demon Phoenix powerhouses.
"So, it's the three elders—Que Huang, Diao Huang, and Peng Huang. I've long admired your reputations."
"Que Huang, Diao Huang, and Peng Huang?" Mo Yu frowned slightly upon hearing this.
"The man in the center is Que Huang, the one on the right is Diao Huang, and the one on the left is Peng Huang. They are the three strongest elders of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan, second only to the Clan leader and the Grand Elder.
They are known as the Three Lesser Sky Demon Phoenixes and have fearsome reputations in the Beast Region, each a Ban Sheng," explained Zi Yan solemnly.
"Oh, the Three Lesser Sky Demons," Mo Yu muttered. He wasn't unfamiliar with their names; in the original story, Xiao Yan had once intercepted and killed them to aid Zi Yan.
Though the Lesser Sky Demons of this timeline hadn't reached Dou Sheng, their Ban Sheng level still posed a terrifying threat. This spelled trouble for the Abyssal Lion Clan.
Of course, Mo Yu wouldn't just stand by and do nothing. Zi Huo, who had inherited the Abyssal Lion Clan's Primal Lion Body, held immense potential. Mo Yu wouldn't let the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan take him away.
"Ah, it's the Grand Elder Yuan Cang of the Abyssal Lion Clan," Que Huang said coldly, her expression dark. "It seems your Clan has grown too comfortable. Do you think that, just because you were once on par with us, you can covet the Heavenly Demon Phoenix bloodline?"
"Elder Que Huang, you misunderstand. Zi Huo accidentally obtained the Heavenly Demon Phoenix blood; it wasn't intentional. However, he is crucial to our Clan. Could your Clan overlook this and spare him? The Abyssal Lion Clan is willing to offer generous compensation," Yuan Cang said humbly.
"Compensation? Do you think mere worldly possessions can make up for the Blood of Heavenly Demon Phoenix? I'll say it again—if you don't hand over Zi Huo, there's no need for the Abyssal Lion Clan to exist," Que Huang sneered.
"Hmph! If you want my life, let's see if your Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan has what it takes!"
Zi Huo's scarlet eyes blazed with rage as he roared. In an instant, he transformed into a massive, purple-gold lion several hundred meters tall.
As Zi Huo revealed his true form, an overwhelming primordial aura spread across the area. Space around him warped, threatening to collapse.
This giant lion was the embodiment of raw power!
"Roar!"
Zi Huo roared and lifted a mountain-sized paw, slamming it fiercely toward the Three Lesser Sky Demons.
"Boom!"
A purple-gold radiance erupted, shattering space and exposing pitch-black voids. The sheer magnitude of the power left everyone in shock.
"This power..."
Que Huang's eyes widened. She immediately unleashed a storm of Dou Qi, clashing directly with the massive purple-gold paw.
"Bang!"
The collision sent shockwaves rippling across the battlefield, forcing both sides to retreat momentarily.
"Fall back!"
Que Huang's icy voice boomed as she transformed into a golden spiral, creating a whirling gale that forced Zi Huo back.
"Boom!"
Despite his massive size, Zi Huo stumbled back several steps before stabilizing, his enormous frame causing the void itself to tremble.
Yet Que Huang, though she repelled Zi Huo, was also forced back half a step by the counterforce.
Mo Yu's silver eyes narrowed slightly. Zi Huo had just broken through to the eighth tier, yet he could force a Ban Sheng back. The Primal Lion Body was truly formidable!
Que Huang's face darkened as she stared at Zi Huo. "I didn't expect the Primal Lion Body, which vanished for millennia, to reappear on the Dou Qi Continent!"
"What? The Primal Lion Body?"
Diao Huang and Peng Huang, standing nearby, were equally stunned as they gazed at Zi Huo's massive purple-gold form.
As members of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan, they knew well the legend of the Primal Lion Body—a fearsome physique that symbolized the Abyssal Lion Clan's peak.
Throughout history, the emergence of a Primal Lion Body marked the Abyssal Lion Clan's most glorious eras.
The Primal Lion Body was a battle physique capable of dominating an entire era!
"No wonder the Abyssal Lion Clan is so protective of this individual. But with a potential like that, we cannot let him live," Diao Huang said coldly, his face grim.
"The potential of the Primal Lion Body is clear. That brat has just reached the eighth grade, yet he dares to clash with a Ban Sheng. Given time, even our Clan leader may find him hard to deal with," Peng Huang added, his tone filled with dread.
Que Huang nodded, her gaze icy as she declared, "According to our intelligence, the Ancient Void Dragon Clan is embroiled in internal conflict. This is the perfect opportunity for our Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan to dominate the Beast Region. Whether Zi Huo has consumed our bloodline or not, we must eliminate him now to prevent future threats!"
With that, Que Huang raised her hand, unleashing a dazzling golden light. The light expanded into a massive golden palm, hundreds of meters wide, aiming to capture Zi Huo.
"Hmph! Que Huang, you think you can take someone from my Abyssal Lion Clan? Let's see if I allow it!"
The Lion King's face darkened as he leaped forward, unleashing a torrent of powerful Dou Qi to intercept Que Huang's attack.
"Lion King, I've long heard of your reputation. Let me see if you live up to it!" Peng Huang sneered, unleashing a surge of black energy as he charged toward the Lion King.
"Roar!"
"Shriek!"
Two deafening roars suddenly echoed through the void as the Lion King and Peng Huang's bodies rapidly expanded. In the blink of an eye, they transformed into half-human, half-beast forms.
Waves of violent energy surged outward from their bodies like a storm, scattering the chaotic spatial currents within a radius of ten thousand meters.
The clash between these two Ban Sheng experts was akin to two meteors colliding, igniting the tense atmosphere of the battlefield.
"Sigh, it seems this battle is inevitable…" Elder Yuan Cang sighed heavily. He had always tried to avoid conflict with the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan.
Given the current strength of the Abyssal Lion Clan, they were no match for the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan. Engaging in a direct confrontation would inevitably lead to severe losses.
However, at this juncture, Yuan Cang had no choice but to fight in order to protect Zi Huo, the hope of the Abyssal Lion Clan.
Just as Yuan Cang prepared to step forward, a sharp figure darted out. A man with a sinister expression appeared before him—Diao Huang, one of the Heavenly Demon Phoenixes.
"Heh, Elder Yuan Cang, let me spar with you. As for that despicable possessor of the Primal Lion Body who dared to devour my Heavenly Demon Phoenix blood, Elder Que Huang will take care of him," Diao Huang sneered.
With those words, Diao Huang extended his hands, revealing a pair of pitch-black, razor-sharp claws. The claws, each half a meter long, gleamed like swords, exuding an intimidating power.
Seeing this, Yuan Cang's expression turned grim. Though Diao Huang was the weakest of the three Heavenly Demon Phoenixes, he was still a genuine Ban Sheng. Even Yuan Cang couldn't be sure of defeating him.
The Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan had deployed Diao Huang to block him, Peng Huang to hold off the Lion King, and left Que Huang—an even stronger foe—unmatched. These three Ban Sheng powerhouses loomed over the Abyssal Lion Clan like insurmountable mountains.
"Great Splitting Peng Claw!"
With a swift motion, Peng Huang spread his massive wings, each spanning dozens of meters. In a flash, he appeared above Yuan Cang. His enormous black claws descended, locking the space around Yuan Cang and striking toward his head with devastating force.
Yuan Cang had no time to think. Dou Qi surged within him, forming a gray shield that clashed directly with the black claws.
Struggling against Diao Huang's attacks, Yuan Cang shouted to his clan members, "Elders, protect Zi Huo!"
On the other side, the Lion King roared, "Guards, protect Zi Huo!"
With their commands, over a dozen powerful figures surged forward, forming a protective circle around Zi Huo. Each of these individuals possessed the strength of a high-rank Dou Zun, hailing from the clan's elite guard and elder council—virtually the entire top-tier fighting force of the Abyssal Lion Clan.
"Sky Lion Demon Statue!"
The group unleashed their immense Dou Qi in unison. The combined energy surged into the sky, forming a massive black lion hundreds of meters tall. It stood like a mountain, radiating a fearsome aura.
As a former ruler of the magical beast world, the Abyssal Lion Clan possessed deep reserves of strength. The Dou Technique they had just unleashed gave them a semblance of power rivaling that of a Ban Sheng!
"Hmph, mere ants! Numbers mean nothing!"
With disdain, Que Huang sneered. Her hands formed a series of rapid seals, and moments later, her mouth opened slightly. A golden light shot out, merging into the colossal golden palm above.
The golden palm swelled, its radiance blinding, exuding an oppressive aura that sent chills down spines. It grew to nearly a thousand meters in size, shattering the void as it descended. The giant palm loomed over the Sky Lion Demon Statue, carrying an earth-shattering force as it fell.
"Boom!"
The impact resembled a meteor strike. The shockwave spread like a tidal wave, accompanied by a series of deafening sonic booms.
"Break!"
With a cold shout, Que Huang unleashed her power. Under the overwhelming might of the golden palm, the Sky Lion Demon Statue began to disintegrate like snow under the summer sun.
The sudden shift in battle left the dozen Abyssal Lion Clan experts aghast. They had no time to escape before the massive palm slammed down, obliterating the protective energy pillars around them.
"Bang!"
Que Huang's frigid gaze locked onto them as the golden palm descended, crushing the dozen high-rank Dou Zun warriors. Blood splattered like streams, and their bodies were left mangled and devoid of strength.
Witnessing Que Huang's effortless defeat of Abyssal Lion Clan's strongest combined forces, Mo Yu's expression darkened.
Que Huang's power was terrifying!
Just as Mo Yu was about to use the Black Thunder Talisman to save Zi Huo, the golden scales on his body emitted a searing heat. A familiar voice echoed in his ears, causing his face to light up with joy.
"Heh, Mo Yu, leave the Heavenly Demon Phoenix to me."
