Strongest Lord by Opening Blind Boxes

Chapter 403: Chapter 293: Fiery-Tempered Li Jikong (2)

Wang Yi rubbed his temples. He was in no hurry to enter the second layer of the Mad Secret Realm. ’With an existence like Mingyu Divine Lord up ahead, catching up isn’t necessarily a good thing,’ he thought. ’Now that I’ve discovered this Jade Pendant is a treasure, I might as well stay and study it.’

’I wonder if Mingyu Divine Lord and the others up ahead can recognize the Ancient Divine Language...’

Wang Yi muttered to himself and then tried to forcibly claim the Jade Pendant before him. He unleashed Panwu’s Great Power Divine Techniques and the Mountain and Sea Divine Techniques, but he couldn’t budge the Jade Pendant in the slightest. When he attacked it, he couldn’t even leave a scratch.

”Shiga, you’re up!”

Wang Yi leaped off the Three-Eyed Golden Lion’s back. The lion understood his intent and let out a mighty roar as afterimages began to ripple from its body.

The afterimages appeared to be mere tricks of light, but they rapidly solidified into physical bodies, each one identical to Shiga. In the blink of an eye, a dense formation of 1,152 of them had appeared!

These 1,152 Three-Eyed Golden Lions were identical. They stood in a neat formation in mid-air, their movements perfectly synchronized. The impressive sight invigorated Wang Yi.

The 1,152 Three-Eyed Golden Lions then surrounded the Jade Pendant. They roared in unison and simultaneously unleashed the Star-devouring Technique. An immense force slammed into the Jade Pendant, causing dark spatial rifts to crackle through the surrounding void.

The earth quaked, and space itself trembled.

But the Jade Pendant remained motionless. Even as the ground beneath it was annihilated, it didn’t budge, simply hovering as if eternally fixed in the void.

Two minutes later, the 1,152 Three-Eyed Golden Lions simultaneously stopped using the Star-devouring Technique. Mouths agape, they all shook their heads in perfect, frustrated unison. Then, just as suddenly, they all released beams of Chaos Divine Radiance from the third eyes on their foreheads.

The 1,152 beams of Chaos Divine Radiance struck the Jade Pendant, causing it to flare with a blinding golden light. But when the Three-Eyed Golden Lions ceased their assault, the Jade Pendant flashed once and reappeared, perfectly intact, without a single mark on its surface.

’This Jade Pendant is incredible!’

Wang Yi exclaimed in awe. With a wave of his hand, the 1,152 Three-Eyed Golden Lions merged back into one.

He turned to look back and saw a long streak of light flying toward him.

Standing atop the streak of light was none other than Li Jikong, the very man who had just been smashed into the ground by Yin Kui.

He wasn’t dead, but he was in a sorry state. His face was ashen, he looked weak, and he was muttering curses under his breath. His level had dropped to 298.

Soon, the streak of light came to a halt before the Jade Pendant. Li Jikong was no longer so arrogant. He scanned his surroundings carefully before turning to Wang Yi. ”Where’s that guy?” he demanded.

”Which guy?”

”The one in the black robes! The wolf in sheep’s clothing! Aren’t you two together?”

”Oh, him? He walked through the stone monument and entered the second layer of the Secret Realm. Are you looking for revenge?”

”Of course I’ll get my revenge. But that man is no simple character. His identity must be fake, and his combat strength might even be greater than mine. So... I think I’ll take you down first!”

Li Jikong suddenly broke into a grin. Six Flying Swords materialized behind him and shot toward Wang Yi like six streaks of light.

Wang Yi’s eyes narrowed, but he didn’t move. Beside him, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion casually opened its massive maw. As it activated the Star-devouring Technique, it inhaled all six streaks of light in a single gulp, chewed twice, and swallowed.

”My Flying Swords!”

Li Jikong’s eyes went wide. The destruction of his Flying Swords caused a backlash, and he coughed up a mouthful of blood. He staggered backward, his gaze now fixed warily on Wang Yi.

Wang Yi’s expression was cold. ”Are you always like this?” he asked. ”It’s a wonder you’ve survived this long.”

”Are you mocking me? Hmph! Then witness my true power!”

Li Jikong’s brow furrowed. He swiped his right index finger across his forehead, and a crimson Qilin Mark instantly appeared between his brows. As it emerged, a full suit of Battle Armor materialized around him.

Above his head, a phantom Qilin materialized!

”My Golden Core infuses my soul—behold the Qilin Divinity Transformation! I don’t mind telling you, this Mad Secret Realm is where I will ascend to godhood! The god born from my Golden Core is the Qilin Killing God!”

Li Jikong’s aura erupted. His hair whipped about, and lightning crackled in his eyes. He pointed at Wang Yi, and a phantom Qilin instantly condensed before him and charged.

The phantom Qilin was incredibly fast and blood-red, formed from crimson lightning. It started out small but swelled to the size of a tank in the blink of an eye.

This was a formidable Thunder Technique!

But just as the phantom Qilin was about to reach Wang Yi, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion gave a little hop and swallowed it in a single gulp. CRUNCH, CRUNCH. A crisp, cracking sound came from its mouth as it chewed twice, then swallowed. It was completely unharmed.

Li Jikong was stunned for a moment. He then spun around and unleashed dozens more Flying Swords. Like streaks of light, they carved arcs through the air at varying speeds, all homing in on Wang Yi.

Wang Yi couldn’t even be bothered to move. The Three-Eyed Golden Lion simply opened its massive mouth again, and all the Flying Swords were drawn in as if by a powerful current, disappearing inside.

’Huh? It ate them again?’ Li Jikong took a step back. With a flick of his wrist, he produced a string of Bronze Bells.

JINGLE, JANGLE! The bells chimed. They were clearly a Magical Treasure. As Wang Yi heard the sound, the phantom of the Bronze Divine Hall appeared above his head, rendering him completely immune to their effect.

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion, however, simply opened its massive mouth again. The string of Bronze Bells was immediately yanked by a powerful force, flying straight into its gullet.

”My Soul-Shattering Bell! Vile beast, don’t you dare eat my Magical Treasure!”

Li Jikong roared. Wielding a Longsword and riding a streak of light, he charged at the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion’s body flickered, and it abruptly split into nine identical forms. They arranged themselves in a three-by-three grid in the void to meet Li Jikong’s charge. Then, they all opened their massive mouths, revealing swirling black holes within!
