Scoring the Sacred Body of the Ancients from the Get-go - Chapter 58

Chapter 58: Subdued Nine-Headed Lion; Let Ji Xuan be the Treasure-Sniffing Rat; Everything is in Con

Roar!

The Nine-headed Lion bellowed in pain. It was critically wounded after losing four of its heads.

At that moment, the remaining five heads of the nine-headed lion were all trembling in fear.

Who knew this human would be so terrifying!

Had it not known that Jun Xiaoyao was the divine child of the Clan of the Ancients, the Nine-headed Lion would’ve thought it was facing the far ancient Veritable Dragon in a human body.

It was unbelievable and terrifying for Jun Xiaoyao’s body to be even stronger than the far ancient creatures.

The Nine-headed Lion shouted in disbelief, “Even if you have the Sacred Body of the Ancients, there’s no way you could be so powerful!”

Meanwhile, beams of divine light radiated from its entire body.

Magnificent rays of light were glowing near the necks where the four heads were cut off. It was as though new heads were about to grow out.

“The Nine-headed Lion clan has such remarkable vitality!”

Many human cultivators were impressed by the Nine-headed Lion’s current condition.

That being said, Jun Xiaoyao saw it as nothing more than a childish trick.

“Don’t try to estimate and test what I’m capable of when you don’t know everything.”

Needless to say, Jun Xiaoyao would never give the Nine-headed Lion a chance to recover and regain his strength. He launched another series of onslaughts. Instead of using any fancy tricks, he simply pummeled the nine-headed lion with his fists.

Every blow carried so much power that they broke all the bones inside the Nine-headed Lion’s body.

This kind of hand-to-hand fight left everyone around with their mouths agape.

The elder of the Jiang family said, “The Sacred Body of the Ancients truly lives up to its reputation. Jun Xiaoyao is invincible when fighting at close quarters…”

“Are you willing to be my mount now?” Jun Xiaoyao asked apathetically.

“Humph, I am the descendant of the Nine-Spirit Dimensional Saint. I would rather die than be humiliated as someone’s mount!”

The remaining five heads of the Nine-headed Lion roared with grim determination.

“Oh? Is that so?” Jun Xiaoyao started another series of beatings.

Soon, the Nine-headed Lion only had four heads left.

The Nine-headed Lion kept screaming, “Don’t even think about making me kneel before someone like you!”

Half an hour later, the nine-headed lion started to lose its composure with its last three heads.

In a panic, the Nine-headed Lion shouted fiercely while mentally breaking down. “Divine Child of the Jun family, let’s fight again if you dare!”

Before long, it had only two heads left.

Although the Nine-headed Lion could regrow its heads as long as it remained alive, it couldn’t stay alive if all of the nine heads were cut off.

At last, the nine-headed lion screeched to beg for mercy.

“Please stop! This is my last one. If you cut this head off, I’ll die!”

The nine-headed lion prostrated itself on the ground, begging Jun Xiaoyao for mercy.

Covered in blood, its last head contorted in pain and despair.

Jun Xiaoyao had turned the mighty Nine-headed Lion into a Single-headed Lion.

Upon witnessing such an event, the cultivators present were at a loss for words.

The Nine-headed Lion was once determined and unyielding only moments ago. Now, it threw itself onto the ground while wagging its tail. It was such a sharp contrast between then and now.

“Have you changed your mind now?”

Jun Xiaoyao put one foot on the last head of the nine-headed lion.

“I have, I have. Please don’t kill me, Sir Divine Child!” The Nine-headed Lion was trembling in fear, devoid of the dignity of the Far Ancient Imperial family.

It knew that Jun Xiaoyao wouldn’t hesitate to kill it.

Considering Jun Xiaoyao’s family background, even the Nine-Spirit Dimensional Saint could hardly avenge the Nine-headed Lion.

“Well, I guess I can take you in as my personal mount,” Jun Xiaoyao replied casually.

The fierce and forceful Nine-headed Lion ended up in such a pitiful state after facing Jun Xiaoyao.

It would’ve been extremely difficult for any other cultivator to bring the Nine-headed Lion to its knees.

“Alright…” The Nine-headed Lion lowered its head.

Many cultivators were left speechless by the fight they had just witnessed.

Not only did Jun Xiaoyao tear up the Sky-devouring Swallow with his bare hands, but it also pummeled the Nine-headed Lion into submission.

Such accomplishments were almost impossible for ordinary people to pull off, yet Jun Xiaoyao achieved both with ease.

Long Bichi’s chest rose and fell as she took a deep breath.

She finally understood why the grand patriarch had warned her before.

“Long Haotian certainly wasn’t killed by a nobody…” Long Bichi’s eyes were filled with fear and trepidation.

Meanwhile, she also remembered the genius who was still ingesting Dragon Essence in seclusion.

“Since Long Aotian has the Blood of the King of Dragons, I wonder if he could defeat the divine child of the Jun family after ingesting seven pieces of Dragon Essence.”

From the other side, Ji Xuan and Xiao Chen couldn’t help but hold Jun Xiaoyao in even higher regard. They considered him to be the most dangerous person to have ever existed.

Just then, more mysterious phenomena came out of the fissure on the ground. Beams of light shined through the billowing grey fog.

“The Supreme Treasure is finally open!”

All the cultivators and far ancient creatures were excited by the change of events.

Jun Xiaoyao gazed in the direction of the phenomena, but he didn’t receive the check-in system notification in his head.

“I guess I can only check-in after going into the depths of the Supreme Treasure of Yuantian,” Jun Xiaoyao thought to himself.

“Let’s go!”

Ji Xuan and the others wrapped their magical power around their bodies before diving into the fissure.

The rest of the cultivators immediately followed the vanguards.

Meanwhile, Long Bichi glanced at Jun Xiaoyao and eventually dropped the idea of provoking him.

‘I originally planned to come here to bolster the reputation of the Lair of Zulong by challenging Jun Xiaoyao, but it seems that I have been too naive from the start. For now, I should focus on searching for the ancient dragon skeletons,’ Long Bichi thought.

Initially, her main objective was to provoke Jun Xiaoyao. Looking for the ancient dragon skeletons only came second.

However, after witnessing Jun Xiaoyao’s strength with her own eyes, Long Bichi naturally made the search for the ancient dragon skeletons her top priority.

Seeing how Long Bichi meekly stepped into the fissure, Jun Xiaoyao let out a soft chuckle, “At least you have some common sense…”

“Let’s go,” Jun Xiaoyao waved his hand and leaped into the fissure while riding the Nine-headed Lion.

Jun Wanjie, Jun Zhangjian, Jun Linglong, Jun Xuehuang, and Jiang Shengyi followed him closely.

The grey fog rolled in once they set foot in the fissure.

It was much thicker and more potent than it was outside.

Many cultivators who entered recklessly were infected by the grey fog, thus losing their sanity. Their eyes were tinged with blood.

The grey fog was too dense for them to shield themselves with magical power.

Bang!

Jun Xiaoyao waved his hands and finished off several of the deranged cultivators ahead of him.

Soon, he carved out a path and reached the bottom of the fissure.

The Supreme Might radiated out from a splendid underground palace.

Jun Xiaoyao unleashed his soul power and roughly scanned the underground palace with his divine consciousness.

The entire underground palace seemed to have two layers; one inner layer and an outer one.

Most people should’ve been able to enter the outer layer, but a Supreme Token of Yuantian was required to access the inner layer.

‘It looks like I have to get into the inner layer to check-in,’ Jun Xiaoyao thought to himself.

At that moment, Ji Xuan already went closer to the underground palace. With a faint smile on his face, his eyes were also filled with excitement.

“Huh? Could he be…?” Jun Xiaoyao noticed Ji Xuan’s expression. He pondered on it, trying to find an explanation.

Judging by Ji Xuan’s reaction, he might’ve known some secrets about the Supreme Treasures.

Jun Xiaoyao smiled as he said, “Ji Xuan, I will let find the treasure for me.”

He also saw Xiao Chen charging through another entrance of the underground palace on the other side.

Jun Xiaoyao figured that a lucky man like Xiao Chen would probably find something valuable among the Supreme Treasures.

Jun Xiaoyao turned his head and said to Jun Wanjie, “Wanjie, I need to ask you to do something.”

“Yes, sir. At your service,” Jun Wanjie replied. As a sign of respect, he cupped on hand in the other in front of his chest.

As soon as Jun Xiaoyao gave his order, Jun Wanjie nodded and left.

“Hehe… the entire Supreme Treasure of Yuantian is all mine.”

With calm assurance, Jun Xiaoyao held his hands behind his back.
