I Have A Divine Tree In My Heart

Chapter 267: Gold Foundation—Devouring Spirit

[Celestial Warlion]

[Level: Gold (Low) (Genius Template)]

[Talent1: Energization]

[The Celestial War Lion is forged from the soul and energy. It has no body, so it cannot eat or drink. Normally, the Celestial Warlion needs to absorb the power of thunderbolt, power of light, and spirit energy to keep up the body’s consumption. At the same time, after energization, the Celestial Warlion is immune to ordinary physical attacks and can absorb the same energy. However, it is vulnerable to targeted energy attacks and soul attacks, and the damage it suffers from them is doubled or multiplied.]

[Note: As the energies that compose the Celestial Warlion are made of flame and thunderbolt, the Golden Warlion can unleash the purifying and scorching characteristics of flames, as well as the agility and paralytic effects of the thunderbolt. At the same time, both flame and thunderbolt are deemed as positive energy. When the host fights against dark and evil forces such as freaks, evil ghosts, and demons, the Celestial Warlion’s power will be doubled. The Celestial Warlion is twice as strong during the day than at night.]

[Talent2: Lion King Majesty]

[Male lions have always been the kings of the jungle. The Celestial Warlion contracted by the host is the king of a clan, so it is extremely majestic. When other monsters fight with the Golden Warlion, they will be suppressed by its kingly aura, and those who have a weak mind will cower. This majestic aura will reach its peak when the male lion roars. At the same time, the king’s majesty will also enhance the golden male lion’s resistance to attacks on the mind.]

[Combat Skill 1: Lion King Body]

[Through long battles and killing, the Celestial Warlion has comprehended various mature combat skills, including the Lion King Claw Strike, the Berserker Lion Ripping Bite, the Mane Salvo…]

[Combat Skill 2: Lion King Roar Cannonball]

[This skill gathers all the energy in the body and then forms a scorching cannonball in the mouth to attack the enemy from afar. This is the strongest attack move of the Celestial Warlion after it is transformed into an energy creature.]

[Gold Foundation: Devouring Spirit]

[The lion king has the ability to swallow the enemy into its abdomen. It can also devour the spirit energy in the world to get stronger. After it transforms into an energy creature, Gold Foundation—Devouring Spirit can swallow energy and make the Celestial Warlion grow massively. Note: The enlarged body depends on the density of the spirit energy in the surroundings and the soul limit of the Celestial Warlion. The richer the surrounding spirit energy, the larger the Golden Warlion will become. However, its size cannot exceed the limit that the soul can control.]

After it lost its body, many of the Golden Warlion’s abilities disappeared. Nevertheless, the most important gold foundation had not been lost.

The introduction of this ability was very short and simple. It was used to devour spirit energy and make one stronger.

However, simplicity did not imply weakness. More was better, and bigger was stronger. Just the sight of this lion, which looked like a prehistoric monster, gradually made Yuan Hao lose his courage.

He dared to provoke a Celestial Warlion that was 7.8 meters tall but didn’t dare to deal with a behemoth of more than 20 meters long.

“Brother Lin, I think this is a misunderstanding.”

“Ha ha.”

As he faced the cowering Yuan Hao, Lin Yao didn’t intend to reply. However, the golden lion, which was at its strongest state, had already launched an attack.

Without rushing forward, it leaned over and a large tuft of mane fell off its neck. One by one, its hair transformed into light spears and shot forward.

The lion’s mane was already very long. When the Golden Warlion transformed into a behemoth with a body length of more than 30 meters, its fluttering gold mane was about seven or eight meters long. At that moment, its hair, which contained flames and thunderbolts, dropped, each one of them looking like a rocket.

What was more terrifying was that the hairs were not mere phantoms. The Golden Warlion’s entire body was made of energy, flames, and thunderbolts. Its mane was also in energy form. After it was separated from the surface of the lion’s body, it simply transformed into spears of sunlight. It was as if ten thousand missiles were blasting toward Yuan Hao.

“Dragon Elephant’s strength!”

Even at the last moment, Yuan Hao didn’t give up. A phantom resembling a Dragon Elephant flew out of his Vajra figure and shot at the bursting spears of sunlight.

Unfortunately, all of this was useless. When powers were crushed, there was nothing skills could make up for.

Boom! Boom!

The spears of sunlight transformed from the mane of the golden lion exploded violently after coming into contact with the phantom of the Dragon Elephant. The sound of the explosion was earth-shattering. Golden flames, rays of light, and thunderbolts were created by the explosion. The surrounding sky within a radius of 10 meters transformed into a hell of thunderbolts and flames. The impact of the shock spread more than 100 meters away.

The prowess of the mane grew with the compression of flames and thunderbolts. The Dragon Elephant phantom summoned by Yuan Hao only managed to block two spears of sunlight before it was destroyed by the blast. The moment the light rays and flames were shot out, Yuan Hao seized this chance to unleash his teleportation ability and then disappear in the smoke produced by the explosions.

However, Lin Yao was concealed by the Golden Warlion, so he couldn’t do anything to him. As for attacking the Golden Warlion, he had lost his desire to fight upon looking at that massive figure.

At the same time, although the teleportation ability of the higher powers was amazing and could transfer him out of thin air, Lin Yao’s Cicada Perception could restrain this ability. When Yuan Hao reappeared, the spears of sunlight happened to shoot at him.

In the end, without moving one bit, the enlarged Golden Warlion defeated Yuan Hao completely with the spears of sunlight transformed from its mane.

This was a complete surprise for the audience.

The young, promising men aspiring to be on the Hidden Dragons List had grave expressions on their faces as they looked at Lin Yao’s Golden Warlion.

“This lion doesn’t seem like an ordinary golden warrior. It is considered a powerhouse amongst golden beasts.”

“Damn! He’s on a roll. With this lion, he has the potential to make the top 10 of the Hidden Dragons List.”

“You are underestimating the top 10 on the Hidden Dragons List. All of them are monsters, and each of them is capable of a sudden outburst of strength. Some of them have killed gold warlords instantly before. Although this lion is strong, it is not qualified to pose a threat to them yet.”

“That’s true. He might not even get into the top 20. Don’t forget that the lion will carry the weaknesses of a summoner. If it’s protecting Lin Yao in its body, its speed of movement will be greatly limited.”

After a round of discussions by famous martial artists, they eventually concluded that Lin Yao had the strength to enter the top 30 of the Hidden Dragons List.

Lin Yao agreed with their evaluation of the Golden Warlion but did not think that he could clinch one of the top 30 places. After all, the Golden Warlion was not the only dependant he had. He also had the angelic holy infant. When he summoned Angel’s Descent, Lin Yao himself would no longer be weak. He’d have the greatest strength.

At the end of the battle, Lin Yao was nearly unscathed. The geniuses on the Hidden Dragons List also thought more highly of him.

However, as geniuses, they only had fighting spirit, not respect and admiration.

This battle had caused some huge waves amongst certain ordinary people.

This was particularly so for the people in Ninghai City, who had been paying attention to the battle. Upon seeing the enormous figure of the Golden Warlion, some people felt both stunned and emotional.

“Is he really a third-year student of a senior high school? He is the same age as me. But why do I have the feeling that his lion is not any weaker than our guardian angel?”

“Not only is it not weak, but it also seems to be stronger.”

“This is a genius of Ninghai City. If he comes back, we don’t need to be afraid of those monsters anymore.”

“It’s impossible to erase all our fears, but our chances of survival will be higher. However, he’s now in Shanghai. How can he possibly come back?”

“He will definitely come back. I am Lin Yao’s classmate. His parents are still in Ninghai City. Lin Yao would never abandon his parents.”

“His parents are here. That’s great!”

In Shanghai, gold warlords were nothing, but in a small city like Ninghai, a golden warlord was already a top-notch fighting force.

The military legion commander and captain of the armed police were also at this level. With the Golden Warlion, Lin Yao had already become one of the strongest people in Ninghai City.

In this chaotic, turbulent situation, the residents of various cities were living in panic and fear. After some videos showing families being torn apart and cities being destroyed surfaced, ordinary people started feeling particularly agitated.

They feared death, as well as separation from family members. This was human nature, and one could not be blamed for it.

Amid this terror, everyone wanted to increase their chances of survival. However, in the face of strong powers, ordinary people were as weak as ants. How could they possibly guarantee their chances of survival?

Those who could not move to a huge city could only pray for their city guardian angel to be stronger. This way, in the event of a crisis, they would have a greater chance of survival.

This sense of urgency also prompted countless residents of Ninghai City to yearn for Lin Yao’s return to his hometown.
