Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons

Chapter 362: Chapter 360: The Golden-Winged Nine-Striped Tiger

“`

Likewise a dragon’s spine, the long spear in the Golden Eyes Lion Emperor’s palm transformed into a ten-zhang length, becoming even more ferocious and terrifying.

That appearance was all too familiar; it was clearly the tail of the old Jiao dragon transformed.

The demons were all somewhat stunned.

Part of a demon’s body being refined into a magical treasure was a common occurrence within the Thousand Demon Cave.

But for it to be taken away… especially while the original owner was still alive, seemed utterly nonsensical.

What made the demons even more uneasy was that after the Golden Eyes Lion Emperor had snatched the old Jiao dragon’s tail bone, the latter did not fight to the death with the lion, but instead vented his rage on a bunch of innocent Demon Kings.

It was a deeply frightening thought.

“What exactly happened?”

Thunderhoof Demon Emperor looked down with a trace of apprehension in his voice, which had softened a bit.

He didn’t think there was anything unusual about the lion, but the reaction of the Youwei Demon Emperor just now didn’t seem feigned; the old Jiao dragon was truly afraid of the Golden Eyes Lion Emperor.

“What do you mean ‘what happened’?”

The robust lion glanced at what was in its hand. “Are you talking about this spear?”

Its golden eyes sparkled as it spoke slowly, “Youwei invited me out to treasure hunt. The treasures of the world belong to those with virtue. Clearly, this treasure thought I had more virtue. That old Jiao dragon was envious of me; his vision was simply too narrow.”

“…”

At these words, all the demons fell silent.

It sounded quite reasonable.

If the Youwei Spear wasn’t a part of the old Jiao dragon’s body, they might really have been convinced.

“This thing you’ve done… it’s somewhat excessive,” Thunderhoof Demon Emperor finally understood Youwei’s earlier fury.

“He coveted my treasure spear. I spared his life out of respect for the history we share in Thousand Demon Cave.” Shen Yi slowly withdrew his gaze and strolled leisurely toward the distance.

“As compensation, he should also offer up his lair to me.”

The demons watched with wide eyes as the Golden Eyes Lion Emperor stepped into Youwei’s territory, and the outrage in their eyes, along with Thunderhoof Demon Emperor’s silence, gradually faded.

It seemed there was nothing amiss after all.

It was Youwei Demon Emperor’s lair, and at this moment, Youwei was in the lion’s clasp—who’s to say the Youwei Demon Emperor must be the Jiao dragon?

“This matter has nothing to do with me; I’m going back first.”

Thunderhoof Demon Emperor looked behind, uncharacteristically omitting his title of ’emperor’.

“Go ahead.”

A calm female voice echoed in the sky.

Suddenly, a golden shadow flashed across the demons’ field of vision, also heading toward Youwei’s territory.

…

A place revisited.

Shen Yi stood in front of the now empty deep pool, feeling a mix of emotions.

He had been initially delighted at finding another excuse to harvest the life spans of a group of demons—ten Demon Kings, along with many lesser demons, totaling over sixty-four thousand years.

To his surprise, he had drawn the attention of a certain powerful being.

At the moment of his earlier appearance, Shen Yi had suddenly felt a breath that made his heart palpitate.

And now, that breath was approaching rapidly.

“…”

Soon, Shen Yi turned around, and before him, where there had previously been nothing, now stood a massive figure.

About twenty zhang in length, with muscles bulging, its fur golden and shining with a glossy sheen.

It looked like a mature, fierce tiger.

However, atop its high shoulders sprouted two wings broader than its body, wings without feathers, resembling those of a bat.

In the blink of an eye, its form swiftly changed, morphing into a voluptuous woman, with only supple fur covering her private parts, her hair a mix of gold and black, and wings on her back.

Her delicate face bore a touch of wildness, with vertical pupils assessing the lion before her with a distinctly aggressive gaze.

“`

After a long while, she finally spoke up, “You’ve bothered me.”

Shen Yi lowered his gaze towards the woman, slightly turning his head, his voice deep, “And then? Should I apologize to you?”

In just a short time, he had already asked the true Lion Emperor about the identity of the demon before him.

The fourth cave, Golden-winged Nine-striped Tiger.

From the Golden Eyes Lion Emperor’s slightly trembling response, Shen Yi roughly understood how terrifying the power of this being was.

But despite his apprehension, he wasn’t overly afraid.

After all, he had done so much just to find out more about the Nanyang Sect.

And to achieve this goal, bypassing these top ten Demon Emperors was absolutely impossible.

He had to take this opportunity to leave an impression in the hearts of these ancient demons.

“Tch…”

Upon hearing this, the Golden-winged Nine-striped Demon Emperor paused for a moment, then lowered her head, baring her sharp white teeth with a slight smile, “Do you think you’re quite amusing?”

In the midst of her speech, she suddenly reached out.

Shen Yi’s brows knitted tightly as the Youwei Spear in his palm began to struggle violently. Clearly, after being refined for ten thousand years, its primal consciousness had awoken due to intense fear.

Desperate to flee.

In the end, it shrank to a length of seven or eight feet and fell into the palm of the Golden-winged Nine-striped Demon Emperor.

She tapped her finger lightly on the spear’s tip and looked up with a half-smile as if tapping the lion before her.

Shen Yi still stared at the woman, his expression unchanged, and after a moment of silence, he asked, “Do you have some sort of problem?”

The Demon Emperor of the fourth cave didn’t need to show off her power to intimidate the Demon Emperor of the sixteenth cave.

“…”

The Nine-striped Demon Emperor’s smile froze for a moment.

After a brief silence, she tossed the Youwei Spear back casually, “It’s a good item, but let’s not have a next time.”

Having said that, she dusted off her hands, “Tell me, what do you want?”

The sudden uproar was indicative of an ambition too great to be concealed.

And with his current calmness.

It was obvious that the other party wasn’t someone whose reasoning had been overwhelmed by a sudden leap in Boundary, becoming arrogant and disdainful of all.

But was instead an extremely rational demon.

She didn’t mind promoting a junior, as long as this lion played by her rules.

Just then, she suddenly paused again.

“I want everything.” The lion slowly crouched, his voice raspy but earnest.

The Golden-winged Nine-striped Demon Emperor looked over calmly and withdrew her smile, “Like what?”

“Like…”

The lion brought his face closer, and in his calm golden eyes, flames seemed to suddenly ignite, becoming more aggressive than the other party. He stared at the woman, “You, and your cave.”

The Golden-winged Nine-striped Demon Emperor’s eyelids twitched suddenly.

In the eyes of the lion, she saw ambition that had grown into a towering tree, unabashed, sincere, and violent.

It had been many years since anyone dared to show such provocation against her.

“There are many fine things in the Thousand Demon Cave, any single opportunity could skyrocket your status, and your luck is not bad.”

“But the precondition is that you survive,” she said.

She rose into the air to escape the lion’s scorching gaze, her golden wings slowly flapping as she looked down from above, “Learn to revere, don’t make me teach you personally.”

After speaking, a mocking smile spread across her wild face, “Unless what you mean by those words is that you want my favor. If that’s the case, you’re barely qualified for it right now.”

“Tch.”

Shen Yi scoffed and stood up, dragging the Youwei Spear behind him as he walked away without looking back towards the cave in the distance.

“…”

The Golden-winged Nine-striped Demon Emperor’s lips twitched twice… Tch?
