Starting with the titmouse, seventy-two transformations

Chapter 454 Red-Maned Bull Lion (Orange)

"Hoohoho!"

The violent cries of the apes tore through the white mist, sounding like the thunder of heavenly drums, cleansing the universe and shaking people's hearts.

The intense metal energy surged in from all directions, forming a massive vortex that swept across the land.

The metal element of Geng (庚) is strong and sharp, its sharpness fully revealed.

In a daze, it seemed as if thousands upon thousands of sword lights were clanging and bursting forth angrily amidst the lush green grass and trees.

At this moment, it seemed as if ten thousand golden rays were blooming in Qinglao Mountain, piercing the sky above, cutting through the Yellow Springs below, and roaming in all directions.

The sheer scale of the event even overshadowed the lush greenery covering the mountains.

"Puff puff~"

A flash of sword light swept in, like a nimble fish swimming, and swept past a giant wooden soldier.

The giant wooden soldier froze for a moment, then scattered into thousands upon thousands of pieces, covering the ground with flying wood chips.

The straw soldiers charged forward with unstoppable force, but were swept across by several crisscrossing sword lights and fell to the ground like grass, never to rise again.

The Red-maned Bull Lion possesses powerful and terrifying abilities, especially in areas with abundant vegetation, where its power is amplified, making it difficult to defend against.

But just as wood overcomes earth, metal overcomes wood, and the same applies to metal, which can destroy everything in one blow.

"Wait... could that rat be one of the elements of metal and earth?"

The red-maned bull-lion suddenly stopped, its eyes filled with fear. Its large eyes darted around, and remembering the divination this morning, it immediately felt the urge to retreat.

It wanted to escape, but Liu Sheng, who had transformed from a groundhog into a long-armed demon ape, would not let it leave.

"Roar!"

Amidst the cries of monkeys, a white shadow as large as a mountain leaped and bounded, its size magnified dramatically in the eyes of the bull-lion, as if a colossal white-gold mountain were crashing towards them, causing the earth to groan in despair, vegetation to crumble, and clouds to swirl and billow.

A faint, blood-related suppression gave rise to an inexplicable sense of fear in its heart.

How could this be?
This monkey is clearly just a powerful demon...

The bull-lion was cautious by nature, and preoccupied with the divination he had performed that morning, his body froze, and he began to ethereal from head to toe, becoming a cloud of green mist, about to merge into the vegetation.

"Where to escape!"

Liu Sheng let out a low roar, shook his body, and revealed the appearance of a three-headed, six-armed being. With six arms and two legs supporting him on the ground, he crashed down a mountain in an instant, and then roared in like a missile.

With a swift movement of its four arms, it grabbed the bull-lion's four hooves before it completely dissolved into green mist.

With the activation of his innate "Innate Metal Spirit", he absorbed the surrounding Geng Metal Qi and in less than a breath, he condensed the mountain beneath him into an "Iron Mountain"!
All vegetation was completely wiped out and destroyed, leaving nothing behind, thus cutting off its escape route.

Then, twisting his waist, rotating his hips, and swinging in a wide arc—

smash!
"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

……

One, one, and another.

With the blessing of five great talents, including "the power to uproot mountains," "indestructible diamond," and "innate golden spirit," Liu Sheng transformed into a beast and grabbed the red-maned bull-lion, smashing it wildly.

The malevolent energy of Geng metal flowed continuously, converging and reinforcing the cracked mountain before being smashed open and cracked by the massive bull-lion.

There are no martial arts techniques, no sophisticated moves, only the purest, most primal power, speed, and thick skin.

This was a battle between demons and demons, a fight between beasts. It went into a fierce battle right from the start, and after a few rounds, the outcome was clear.

Although the Crimson-Maned Bull Lion possessed extraordinary bloodline, it was ultimately no match for the naturally divine Long-Armed Demon Ape.

Moreover, they are not good at fighting and their attributes are countered. Even though they are a grade higher, once the demonic ape catches them at close range, they become meat on the chopping block.

After being brutally smashed for more than two hours, the iron mountain beneath him shattered and reformed thousands of times until finally his bones were broken and his flesh and blood flew everywhere, turning the surrounding area into a battlefield of carnage, leaving him on the verge of death.

"That old demon is really powerful. If it were a real demon, it would have been smashed into mincemeat long ago." Liu Sheng stood up, his four arms still flexing.

This bull-lion's bones and muscles were too tough. After all, it was an old demon of the wood element, with vigorous vitality and profound cultivation, close to the ancestral demon. Even with his mountain-moving strength at level 6, he could not forcibly tear it into pieces.

It wasn't until two hours of smashing, until it was completely paralyzed and limp, its bones broken and its flesh mangled, that it was finally done.

"His!"

The sound of tearing silk echoed throughout Qinglaoshan Mountain. The massive body of the red-maned bull-lion was pulled and torn into seven pieces by the six ape arms, and it was dead beyond any doubt.

An old demon who dominated the area of ​​Qinglaoshan for hundreds of miles, and whose whereabouts were even difficult for the Yin gods to find, perished.

The next moment, a deep orange halo rose from the corpse and floated in front of Liu Sheng.

It's the essence!
It became.

He quickly transformed back to his original form, his vision blurred with light and shadow, and a line of ink-wash characters appeared on the panel—

[Detected 1 Crimson Mane Bull Lion Essence. Refine it to obtain the "Crimson Mane Bull Lion" Avatar?]

Needless to say, it's refining!

We've come all this way to Qinglaoshan, isn't that what we're here for?
With a thought, the orange essence before him transformed into a stream of light and entered his body.

Then, he felt a strong call coming from all directions—

It's ancient trees, shrubs, weeds, flowers, vines, fungi, moss...

All the plants and trees, from afar to near, extending for hundreds of miles, seemed to be drawn closer to him, and a series of timid yet lively thoughts sprouted within his five senses.

The whole world seems to have changed.

It's as if it has countless eyes and ears, reflecting every rustle and movement within a hundred feet in its mind and monitoring it.

The massive influx of information at the same time caused him to experience a brief system crash, leaving him feeling dizzy, lightheaded, and numb in his hands and feet.

It's overloaded.

Fortunately, a cool sensation rushed into my brain, massaging every inch of my skin from the inside out, which quickly relieved the pain.

Then everything returned to normal, and I adapted. It was like an expansion of my capacity; not only did the sensations become more realistic, but my reactions also became more acute.

At the same time, he developed a certain bond with the flowers, plants, and trees covering the mountains and fields, and felt a deep sense of intimacy with them.

He could even read the various emotions of these plants—happiness, joy, sadness, unease, and so on.

In addition, he possesses a strong sense of dominance, allowing him to control the plants and trees that have a "special" connection to his longevity at will.

For example, they can draw upon their life force to heal their own injuries.

"It feels a lot like the Druid in my previous life's game. I wonder how much of Bai Ze's skill it inherited... I hope it's not too bad."

He pursed his lips, as if he had realized something.

A moment later, the strange phenomenon on his body receded like the tide, and he felt completely at ease, full of vitality, as if he had become one with the surrounding plants and trees.

[Successfully refined the essence of the Crimson-Maned Bull Lion, obtaining the Crimson-Maned Bull Lion incarnation...]

[You have received the Crimson Mane Bull Lion talents "Lion Form," "Thriving Growth," "Wood Spirit," "All Plants as Soldiers," "Return of All Trees to Origin," and "Divination."]

Six talents were added at once, and the names sound pretty good.

He eagerly summoned the panel, looked at the newly added avatar, and clicked on its description—

【Red Mane Bull Lion (Orange)】

[Introduction]: Crimson mane burns brightly on the autumn mountains, and azure horns pierce through the clouds.

The lion's head holds up the sky, its majesty inherent; the ox's body treads the mountain, its roots entwined with dragons; its spirit communicates with the unseen, knowing fortune and misfortune; the Wood Emperor commands countless trees, its whereabouts elusive, vanishing into the eight wastelands.

It is thousands of feet tall, possesses the bloodline of Bai Ze, is wise and insightful, good at thinking, close to nature, not good at fighting, and often hides among the grass and trees, making it difficult to find its whereabouts.
