Lin Yuan, who should have been sent flying by the slap, actually managed to withstand the blow thanks to the amplification of his Battle Armor.
The Golden-Eyed Blood Lion also had its claws numbed by the recoil force, a flash of human-like astonishment appearing in its eyes.
"Is this the power of a thirty-thousand-year Spirit Beast?" Lin Yuan's voice was somewhat muffled, yet brimming with excitement.
"However, it's still not enough!"
Within Lin Yuan's pupils, Double Pupils manifested!
At this moment, the Golden-Eyed Blood Lion was preparing to launch a second pounce, its muscles tensed, its bloody maw wide open, ready to bite this hunk of metal to pieces.
Right at this instant, a black light flashed in Lin Yuan's eyes, and his first Natal Spirit Ring suddenly lit up!
"Double Pupil First Spirit Ability – Void Stagnation!"
A bizarre spatial fluctuation instantly enveloped the Golden-Eyed Blood Lion!
The giant beast, originally mid-air in its flying pounce, was forcibly brought to a complete halt in mid-air!
Although the Golden-Eyed Blood Lion's cultivation was much higher than his, his Spirit Ability could at minimum control the opponent for one second.
Moreover, this spirit ring had also already been promoted from its original thousand-year level to the ten-thousand-year level, greatly increasing the power of the Spirit Ability. It was definitely more than just one second of control!
Seeing this scene, Dugu Bo's frown deepened, his eyes filled with confusion.
"What's going on? Why did that lion suddenly stop moving?"
"There's something off with this kid's eyes. Could it be... he has a second Spirit?"
Dugu Bo had clearly noticed earlier that a wisp of black light seemed to have appeared within Lin Yuan's pupils.
Naturally, Lin Yuan had no time to clear up Dugu Bo's confusion.
Taking advantage of this one second the Golden-Eyed Blood Lion was immobilized.
The god slaying spear in his hand suddenly trembled, and a torrential Killing Intent erupted from within his body, instantly dyeing the surrounding air crimson!
God Slaying Domain!
The originally sunny valley instantly transformed into an illusion of mountains of corpses and seas of blood!
That Killing Intent, pure to the extreme, made the Golden-Eyed Blood Lion's entire body stiffen, an uncontrollable fear surging from the depths of its Soul!
It felt it was not facing a human.
But a bloodthirsty Asura demon god that had crawled out of Hell!
Its Aura and strength were weakened by at least thirty percent in this moment!
"Now is the time!"
Lin Yuan's gaze was sharp as lightning. The one black and one purple spirit rings beneath his feet suddenly began to thrum violently.
Immediately after.
That profound black first spirit ring actually transformed into a stream of light, merging into the purple second spirit ring!
spirit ring fusion!
"Second Spirit Ability, God Slaying Soul Pursuit!"
All of Lin Yuan's spirit power, the amplification from his Battle Armor, and the explosive power from the spirit ring fusion converged onto the tip of the god slaying spear at this moment!
"Swoosh!"
A terrifying spear Qi, black as ink yet interwoven with purple lightning, shot forth from his hand!
As this spear Qi emerged, the surrounding space seemed to be torn apart, emitting a piercing shriek!
This Move was currently Lin Yuan's strongest single-target attack, and it also carried a lock-on and tracking effect!
This spear strike was destined to pierce through the Golden-Eyed Blood Lion's skull!
The Golden-Eyed Blood Lion had just regained its senses from the fear when it saw a beam of destructive light arrive before its eyes.
It wanted to dodge but found its body simply couldn't Move.
"Thud!"
A muffled sound of a sharp blade piercing flesh.
That terrifying spear Qi passed through the Golden-Eyed Blood Lion's brow without any obstruction!
Then it shot out from the back of its head, slamming fiercely into the mountain wall behind!
Rocks shattered, dust and smoke billowed!
The Golden-Eyed Blood Lion's massive body stiffened for an instant, the red light in its eyes rapidly dimming.
Afterwards, it heavily crashed to the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust.
Instant kill!
A complete and utter instant kill!
Under the quadruple enhancement of Battle Armor, Double Pupil control, God Slaying Domain weakening, and spirit ring fusion explosion.
Lin Yuan, with a body of thirty levels, unleashed a strike comparable to the strongest blow of a Spirit Emperor!
One strike, slaying a thirty-thousand-year Spirit Beast!
"Huff..."
Lin Yuan dispersed his Battle Armor, leaned on his spear, and breathed heavily.
Although this strike was immensely powerful, the consumption was also staggering, draining nearly half of his spirit power. However, the Blue Silver Emperor Spirit Bone had already begun to gradually accelerate his spirit power recovery.
Looking at that slowly materializing thirty-thousand-year spirit ring, the corner of Lin Yuan's mouth curled into a satisfied smile.
Not far away, Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan were now completely petrified.
Their mouths agape, they stared at the giant beast lying in a pool of blood, unable to speak for a long time.
After a long while.
Dugu Bo finally swallowed a mouthful of saliva and muttered with a dry voice, "Thirty thousand years... that's a thirty-thousand-year mutated species Golden-Eyed Blood Lion..."
"Just instantly killed like that?"
"Is this fucking thirty levels?!"
"What kind of monster is this kid?!"
Without any hesitation, Lin Yuan directly sat down cross-legged, placing the god slaying spear horizontally across his knees.
Under the guidance of his spirit power, that thirty-thousand-year black spirit ring instantly felt the summons and surged towards Lin Yuan's body!
"Senior Dugu Bo, please protect me."
Leaving behind these words, Lin Yuan closed his eyes and instantly entered a meditative state.
Watching this scene, Dugu Bo's heart rose to his throat.
"Please, don't let anything go wrong!"
Dugu Bo silently prayed in his heart.
Initially, the absorption process didn't seem to go smoothly.
After all, the Golden-Eyed Blood Lion was a top predator in life; the lingering resentment after its death was extremely powerful.
The moment the black energy entered his body, it rampaged wildly through Lin Yuan's Meridians, attempting to tear this human's body apart.
Lin Yuan's brow furrowed tightly, beads of sweat instantly oozing from his forehead, and his body began to tremble violently.
The surface of his skin even faintly glowed with an abnormal bloody hue.
"Not good!"
Dugu Bo's expression changed, spirit power already gathering in his hand, ready to forcefully interrupt at any moment.
"This Spirit Beast's resentment is too strong; it's assaulting his spiritual sea!"
However, just as Dugu Bo was about to act, Lin Yuan's tightly closed eyes suddenly twitched violently.
Within the spiritual sea, facing the roaring vengeful spirit of the Golden-Eyed Blood Lion, the phantom of Lin Yuan's Double Pupils slowly opened.
With just one glance!
That power to see through falsehoods and pierce directly to the Origin instantly shattered that arrogant vengeful spirit to pieces!
"A mere remnant soul dares to act recklessly?"
As the vengeful spirit dissipated, the originally berserk spirit power instantly became docile, beginning to surge madly into Lin Yuan's limbs and bones.
But right at this moment!
A sudden mutation occurred!
Two blinding gold-red beams of light suddenly erupted from his eyes!
Blood streamed down from the corners of his eyes, looking extremely terrifying.
"Lin Yuan!"
Dugu Yan exclaimed and was about to rush forward.
"Don't Move!"
Dugu Bo grabbed his granddaughter, his gaze fixed intently on Lin Yuan's eyes. The worry on his face instantly transformed into immense shock.
"Wait, this Aura, this is..."
Within that gold-red light, a strange piece of bone was slowly taking shape.
The bone was crystalline throughout, Semi-transparent golden color, gradually merging into Lin Yuan's eyes.
As the bone merged, a circle of gold-red patterns actually appeared around Lin Yuan's originally black Double Pupils!
Dugu Bo gasped sharply, his voice trembling, "An external Spirit Bone?!"
...
