然而，谭云却没有给它任何同情。
他冷冷地看着这只奄奄一息的火眼血蹄狮，内心并没有因为它的痛苦而动容。
“你杀了那么多生灵，今日我便让你尝尝被杀的滋味！”
随着谭云的话音落下，他手中的神剑微微一震，剑光闪烁，仿佛在回应他的话语。
此时，火眼血蹄狮发出一声凄厉的吼叫，试图挣扎着起身，但它已经没有力气了。
“不要杀我，我愿意为你效劳！”它用尽全力说道，语气中充满了绝望。
谭云却没有被它的恳求所打动，反而更加坚定了自己的决心。
“你的生命对于我来说毫无意义，唯有死亡才是你应得的下场！”
他的话如同判决书，冰冷无情。
最终，谭云高高举起手中的神剑，剑光闪烁，直指火眼血蹄狮，毫不犹豫地落下。
“我不会放过任何一个敌人！”
随着一声震耳欲聋的巨响，火眼血蹄狮的身体被彻底撕裂，鲜血四溅，场面惨烈至极。
而谭云则冷冷地俯视着这一切，心中没有一丝悔意。
他知道，这样的选择是为了自己的生存，也是为了将来的更强大。
在这个残酷的凡间，只有强者才能活下去，只有毫不留情地消灭敌人，才能保护自己所珍视的一切。
此时，谭云转身离去，身影在夕阳的余晖中渐渐消失。
他知道，自己的人生才刚刚开始，未来的道路将充满挑战与未知，但他绝不会退缩。
“下一个目标是神塔，只有登上神塔，我才能获得更强大的力量！”
他的眼中闪烁着坚定的光芒，心中暗暗发誓。
"If it weren't for my divine armor protecting me, you would have killed me!" Tan Yun descended from the sky into the ravaged forest, his right hand gripping the hilt of the sword embedded in the fire-eyed blood-hooved lion's skull.
"Die!"
Tan Yun let out a cold snort, gripping the sword hilt and stabbing downward with force!
"Thud!"
The Supreme Celestial Master Divine Sword, stretching six hundred zhang, pierced through the lion's head with a spray of blood, killing it on the spot.
Then, Tan Yun sliced open the lion’s head and extracted the Saint King Beast Core, planning to refine it for the Heavenly Net Dragon Bear King and the other eight clan kings.
"Jing Yun, thank you so much. Without you, I would have perished in the sea of flames," Li Shiyin looked at Tan Yun with deep gratitude, her heart still racing from fear.
"You're welcome; we are friends," Tan Yun said, and as he spoke, his body shrank back to the height of an ordinary person, and the Ancient Divine Armor disappeared without a trace.
Once the Ancient Divine Armor left Tan Yun's body, his purple robe was stained with blood, his chest and back torn and bloody.
If it weren't for the Ancient Divine Armor protecting him, it would have been difficult for Tan Yun to withstand the kicks from the lion that struck his chest and back.
"How badly are you hurt?"
Xuan Yuan Rou and Li Shiyin asked in unison, their expressions filled with worry.
A hint of a smile appeared on Tan Yun's pale face, "I'm fine. Let's recover our injuries and strength first; we can talk about everything else later."
With that, Tan Yun summoned the Tower of Ascending to the Heavens.
He was the first to enter the tower, and to prevent Li Shimin and his sister from discovering, he took Pang Yuqi and the nine others to the thirty-sixth floor of the tower.
Only after that did Tan Yun communicate telepathically, inviting Xuan Yuan Rou and the others to enter the tower.
After they entered, each of them went to a different floor, sitting cross-legged and taking out a pile of Supreme Divine Jade to absorb the divine power within and recover the divine power consumed in the spirit pool.
With a single thought, countless pieces of Supreme Divine Jade floated up before Tan Yun, suspended above his head.
Tan Yun formed seals with his hands in front of his chest, beginning to absorb the divine power from the jades. It was clear to see that wisps of divine power emerged from each piece of jade, slowly drilling into Tan Yun's forehead, reaching the spirit pool.
