As if these changes weren't enough, all his flesh and blood separated from his bones and fell to the ground. The skeletal lion stood there looking at Lu Zhen with its pitch black hollow eye sockets. All of its bones were pitch black with golden inscriptions.
"Rooaaarrr!"
There seemed to be a dark, ominous aura that was emanating from his bones and it was full of killing intent. This was actually Lu Zhen's killing intent, his killing intent was so deep that it was ingrained in his bones. It then pounced on Yungxu, Yungxu did a backflip as he kicked the skeleton's jaw sending flying in the air. He disappeared from where he was and appeared above it and sent a kick so powerful, it actually cracked some of its bones.
Boom!
It crashed hard on the ground and the entire underground cave shook. As it tried to stand up, a leg stomped its head, pinning it to the ground. Slight cracks could be seen in the skull, meanwhile, his blood and flesh had turned into a pool of blood that continuously melted the already corroded chains. It had to be said that these chains were quite powerful, they were probably one of the most powerful weapons anyone could encounter in this undeveloped world.
Since its head was pinned to the ground, the skeletal lion used its flexibly long tail as a whip. It aimed it at Yungxu's face but he blocked it with his hand. The tail then coiled itself around Yungxu's hand like a snake and tightened its grip.
Yungxu was wondering what it was planning by this but he was surprised at the next moment because he was flung away by the seemingly not so strong tail, the skeletal lion took quick action as it ran towards Yungxu and attacked with its claws. 'Shield!' Yungxu created a barrier that cracked as the skeletal lion's attack landed on it.
Yungxu was stunned by the skeletal lion's display of power. He was in the Mortal Shedding Realm for crying out loud, a legendary existence in this entire world. Nothing should have been able to even scratch his barrier, the skeletal lion's attacks were comparable to an SSS rank weapon, a pile of bones was now threatening to end his life and this infuriated him.
"I'll have to kill him here or else..." Yungxu was now determined to kill Lu Zhen. "You forced my hand!" he shouted as his body shone with a blinding golden light. The skeletal lion was sent flying as it crashed on the hard wall. Space trembled from where Yungxu stood, it looked as if it would collapse at any given moment. Yungxu then raised his hand in the air. A large golden palm condensed above the skeletal lion and slammed it to the ground. A huge crater formed.
The skeletal lion staggered back as its bones vibrated involuntarily, it looked like it would collapse at any given moment. These bones really were durable, Yungxu prepared another palm attack, he was planning on ending this battle. Yungxu had just showcased the terror of a Mortal Shedding Realm expert. Before the attack could land, things took a turn, an unfavourable turn for him.
The pool of blood condensed into a blood red orb. The orb then shot out black chains that bound Yungxu mid-air. He felt his power being sealed, then absorbed.
This blood red orb gained the sealing ability when the inscriptions on Lu Zhen's absorbed and integrated with it, the absorption power came from the chains that were just melted and absorbed. Yungxu was then viciously pulled from the air then painfully kissed the ground. This time, it wasn't just the cave that shook, the whole Sect shook, startling everyone.
The blood orb then shot towards the skeletal lion at lightning speed and covered it like a cocoon.
Roooaaarrr!
The skeletal lion's head pierced through the cocoon as it coldly looked at Yungxu. Its muscle cells looked like blood worms as they stuck all over its head and formed new skin, it was regenerating and this process was occurring at lightning speed. The new skin looked soft and delicate. The lion's head was retracted back into the cocoon, Yungxu didn't attack, he was amazed by what he was seeing.
The skeletal lion slowly walked out of the cocoon as its body had completed its regeneration, there was something different about it, something that was hard to describe.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
It walked towards Yungxu using all four legs and as it approached him, it stood on its hind legs and continued to walk. Lu Zhen was changing back into a human with every step he took. Step by step, he walked towards the perplexed Yungxu. With his pitch black body, blood red hair, cold gaze and two horns protruding from his forehead, he looked like a demon from hell. Dozens of silver chains hovered in the air like dragons that had encountered their natural enemy.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
They collided in the air as Lu Zhen walked towards Yungxu, and as if trying to stop him. One chain shot towards him and wrapped itself around his arm, it turned black and disappeared. Lu Zhen stopped for a moment before advancing again, another chain wrapped itself around his limbs and disappeared, he stopped advancing for a moment before continuing.
These chains absorbed the ink black colour on his skin after wrapping themselves around him. Third, fourth, fifth...In the end, Lu Zhen's body looked like it was sealed due to the black chain tattoos that covered his body. He emitted some sealing aura which would give one a feeling of turning into a mortal if they dared approach him.
Crimson fur then enveloped his lower body. Lu Zhen felt like he could destroy everything that stood in his path, as if this world was in the palm of his hand.
There were a lot of changes that happened to him but the most obvious and most mysterious one was the two red horns protruding from his forehead.
There was something about them, something peculiar about them but Lu Zhen couldn't get his hands on it.
"Shall we continue where we left off?" Lu Zhen looked at Yungxu as if he were looking at a dead man. Yungxu knew that he couldn't drag this battle for long so he decided to use his strongest attack from the get go.
[World Annihilation!]
Yungxu's body glowed golden as space literally distorted. A ray of golden light shot towards Lu Zhen who responded with his own.
[Ashes to Ashes!]
The temperature in the vicinity suddenly increased by an unimaginable level as a burning claw was released.
Boom!
Both techniques clashed and Yungxu was sent flying, Lu Zhen persevered as he took Lin Zhenzhen's corpse which he had used some of his sealing power to protect. He had created a barrier which nullified any attack that got close to it before he flew in one of the space cracks.
The shockwaves literally destroyed the underground cave and some regions of the Sect collapsed and turned to ruins. Some elders and disciples suffered terrifying backlashes and some had died on the spot due to the disturbance. The elders that didn't suffer any major injuries rushed out to see what happened and what they saw could only be defined as...INCONCEIVABLE!
