Blue Claw Ghost Wing Lion!
This lion possessed a massive physique comparable to a small hill, and it fed by devouring souls.
Nowadays, this species of ancient desolate beast was extremely rare. In the era of Demon Venerable You Hun, these lions had been plentiful.
In fact, the Blue Claw Ghost Wing Lion had once brought considerable trouble to a young You Hun.
After all, this ancient desolate beast was a natural counter to the Soul Path. And before You Hun had become a Demon Venerable, his primary methods had been those of the Soul Path.
In the end, however, You Hun prevailed — not only slaying the Blue Claw Ghost Wing Lion that had tormented him, but also extracting its innate instincts.
After that, once You Hun had reached the Eighth Transformation, he frequently hunted Blue Claw Ghost Wing Lions, ultimately developing the soul-devouring technique that would shake the ages!
The Blue Claw Ghost Wing Lion was exceedingly famous, and its sudden appearance before Red Cloud Dancer inevitably shook her to her core.
But at the critical moment, Ancestor Thousand Changes' will calmly reminded her, "Don't be afraid. The pair of ghost wings on this lion's back are unremarkable — even quite feeble. This proves it's not in good condition. We can fight it."
Receiving this reminder, Red Cloud Dancer quickly calmed down.
She looked carefully and indeed saw that the pair of ghost wings on the Blue Claw Ghost Wing Lion were extremely thin, completely mismatched to its massive frame.
Red Cloud Dancer couldn't help but feel a twinge of shame. "My husband's will only commands a single Eighth Transformation Immortal Gu and a large amount of Immortal Essence — it has no Immortal Path detection methods at all, yet it could see through the Blue Claw Ghost Wing Lion's true state at a glance. I have a full arsenal of techniques, yet I was the one who froze. That was inexcusable."
Her composure restored, she immediately steered Dancing Red Cloud into a swift turn, putting distance between herself and the Blue Claw Ghost Wing Lion.
Before long, she had opened up a considerable gap from the beast.
"Heh heh, this Blue Claw Ghost Wing Lion is indeed not right. If it had even thirty percent of its full strength, your Dancing Red Cloud would never have escaped."
Thousand Changes' will laughed heartily, then emerged, temporarily separating from Red Cloud Dancer to stand beside her.
The individual Immortal Essence orbs contained within Thousand Changes' will all poured into that Eighth Transformation Immortal Gu.
The Immortal Gu's aura instantly became overwhelmingly dense.
A wave of strange fluctuations shot out, striking the charging Blue Claw Ghost Wing Lion squarely.
The next moment, the Blue Claw Ghost Wing Lion let out a howl of pain as its tail suddenly transformed into a venomous serpent.
The serpent's thick, lengthy body coiled around the Blue Claw Ghost Wing Lion in an instant, its fangs dripping with potent venom as it bit deep into the beast's face.
The Blue Claw Ghost Wing Lion frantically swung its dark green claws, slamming them against the serpent's body and head.
The venomous serpent was remarkably resilient, actually managing to hold its ground against the Blue Claw Ghost Wing Lion for a time.
For a moment, the Blue Claw Ghost Wing Lion flapped the wings on its back, tumbling ceaselessly through the air as it fought the serpent.
Red Cloud Dancer sat cross-legged atop her red cloud, ascending to a distant height, watching the battle with cautious vigilance.
Thousand Changes' will stood before her, driving the mysterious Eighth Transformation Immortal Gu to continue its assault on the Blue Claw Ghost Wing Lion.
The strange fluctuations flashed and vanished, and soon the thick mane on the Blue Claw Ghost Wing Lion's face transformed into individual saplings.
They were unmistakably saplings of the Ghost Cry Tree.
The Ghost Cry Tree's roots began spreading into the Blue Claw Ghost Wing Lion's flesh, draining its nutrients.
The Blue Claw Ghost Wing Lion howled in agony and went berserk, crushing the saplings on its face while simultaneously smashing the serpent's head.
Although the venomous serpent's body still coiled around the Blue Claw Ghost Wing Lion, it had lost all strength and was thoroughly dead.
The Blue Claw Ghost Wing Lion looked wretched, its injuries severe.
