Chapter 1022 True Samadhi Golden Flames
"If you want the Golden Suanni Clan's allegiance, shouldn't you do things that would make them feel grateful and indebted to you, Master? This seems like the perfect opportunity for that," Rainshine added.
"That's where you are wrong, Rainshine. If I save the Golden Suanni Clan, I can indeed gain their gratitude," Leon calmly replied with his gaze fixed on the battle.
"However, gratitude isn't enough to acquire their allegiance. No, they would have to be saved on multiple occasions for that gratitude to develop into worship and dependence before I have a higher chance of gaining their allegiance."
"Something like that takes time—time that I don't have, nor the patience. I believe allegiance can be gained in the shortest time when they have sufficient gratitude, reverence, and benefits," Leon stated.
"I see," Rainshine quickly understood.
The present battle was an excellent opportunity to show off Cindertail's superior bloodline and ability and let the Golden Suanni Clan understand the benefits of following Leon.
But even if the Golden Suanni Clan didn't become aware of the benefits of following Leon, there was a high chance that Cindertail could become the Golden Suanni Clan's official supreme leader.
After all, it was the only Paragon-level Golden Suanni in the whole Golden Suanni Clan to have awakened the divine bloodline ability of their primal ancestor, the Suanni Lion God Beast.
If that happens, it wouldn't be difficult to gain the entire Golden Suanni Clan's allegiance either.
"Nevertheless, I don't think the battle will end by defeating those white fiends. There may be other threats that have yet to emerge from that hole," Leon added.
Shortly after Leon said that, Rainshine and the other Paragon-level Golden Suannis also focused their gazes on the hole at the center of Gran Crevasse.
The Whitebone Fiends continued to climb out of the abyss.
However, they weren't just using the vines to climb out. Many other Whitebone Fiends used multiple pairs of limbs to crawl along the ceiling to reach the opening like they were spiders.
Upon careful observation, it also seemed like the Whitebond Fiends had acquired the traits of several other insects.

…
Meanwhile, Cindertail was like a golden meteor streaking over the sky before making a sharp descent on a giant Paragon-level Whitebone Fiend.
Boom!
Cindertail's golden figure blew a hole straight through the giant Paragon-level Whitebone Fiend's upper body before crashlanding into the ground, crushing several other Whitebone Fiends of different strengths.
Skreee!
The Whitebone Fiends howled painfully as their bodies lit on fire after coming into contact with Cindertail's golden flames.
Very shortly, chaos quickly grew within the Whitebone Fiends' ranks as the gold-flaming Whitebone Fiends collided with each other as they tried to put out the fire.
However, their contacts with other Whitebone Fiends only served to fuel the golden flames, spreading it to other Whitebone Fiends.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Skree!
The Paragon-level Whitebone Fiend shook the ground with its anguish stomps, crushing its own allies as it suffered the burning agony of the golden flames in its chest that soon covered its entire body!
"W-what the hell is going on back?!" Goldblazer exclaimed with shock as he watched the flaming Paragon-level Whitebone Fiend killing its own allies.
"I just saw a golden suanni with golden flames shot through that Paragon-level Whitebone Fiend!" another Paragon-level Golden Suanni shouted.
The Paragon-level Whitebone Fiend was an enormous giant, but a Paragon-level Golden Suanni wasn't small either.
It was impossible for the Paragon-level Golden Suannis on the battlefield to have missed it.
"A golden suanni covered in golden flames?! But that's…! Isn't that the divine golden flames of our primal ancestor, the True Samadhi Golden Flames?! Since when did we have such an individual in our clan?!"
Many Paragon-level Golden Suannis were startled after hearing about the divine golden flames, but their eyes glimmered with hope and excitement shortly after.
It's been so long since the Golden Suanni Clan had a golden suanni that awakened the divine golden flames!
"Did you hear that, Dawnchaser?! The divine golden flames as reappeared in our clan!" Goldenstride laughed joyously.
It was the best thing he had heard in several hundred years.
"I didn't just hear it; I also saw it!" Dawnchaser stated as his eyes glimmered with excitement. He was no exception to the news.
The news brought hope to the clan.
As the divine golden flames spread across the eastern side of Gran Crevasse, the pressure on Paragon-level Golden Suannis on the eastern side also dropped.
The divine golden flames incinerated the Whitebone Fiends and halted their advances.
And without fresh troops to supply those on the front lines, the Paragon-level Golden Suannis quickly killed off all remaining Whitebone Fiends.
The Whitebone Fiend's blue blood spilled all over the ground at the front lines before they flowed down the slope and reached the divine golden flames.
At the instance of their contact, the divine golden flames suddenly surged in power like oil was added to the fire, causing the divine golden flames to spread outward.
It was rushed along the trail of blood and reached the other Paragon-level Golden Suannis in a short instance.
"Careful!" Dawnchaser cried at the sight of the fearsome golden flames rushing at them.
The Paragon-level Golden Suannis quickly retreated, but some didn't react quickly enough.
Just when they thought the divine golden flames would burn them into crisps, the expected pain did not follow.
The divine golden flames swept past them before vanishing. It only burned the Whitebone Fiends and nothing else.
Dawnchaser and the others only felt a warm breeze sweeping past them.
"We didn't get burned?" Goldblazer uttered with surprise.
"As expected of the True Samadhi Golden Flames of the Suanni Lion God Beast…" Dawnchaser's gaze shimmered with reverence.
The Suanni Lion wasn't just a God Beast; it was also a symbol of power and imperial justice.
The True Samadhi Golden Flames that it wields would only burn those that it deems worthy of being burned.
It was unlike any other flames that burn everything indiscriminately; it was a derivative of the True Samadhi Fire, the inextinguishable fire of deep concentration.
Even if Cindertail doesn't have full control, the True Samadhi Golden Flames would only burn what he intended to burn.
