Between heaven and earth, the frigid wind ran rampant, howling like a long dragon.
Suddenly, accompanied by a clear cry that rang through the Nine Heavens, an enormous shadow blanketed this stretch of sky.
It was unmistakably a roc.
Its wings were like clouds hanging from the heavens, its body stretched ten thousand zhang long, and dense, surging Immortal Light of the Great Dao filled its entire form. Its pair of talons shone brilliantly, as though cast from gold.
Its eyes resembled two lakes of molten lava, reflecting towering divine radiance.
Compared to it, even the towering mountains appeared small.
From afar, the slovenly old Daoist clicked his tongue in praise. "I have to say, that bald old bastard's feathered beast is quite imposing!"
Su Yi smiled. How could the Candle Nether Roc be compared with ordinary immortal birds?
According to legend, this ferocious bird could devour stars with one open mouth and tear apart wyrms and dragons with a swipe of its claws. It was the nemesis of all dragonkind!
Especially its vertical eye—it could illuminate the most subtle and hidden places between the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, piercing through unfathomable secrets unknown to others!
"How did you steal it out of the Tianshu Pure Land?"
Su Yi asked with interest.
This was the Mountain Guardian True Spirit of the Tianshu Pure Land, treasured beyond measure.
"I already told you, it wasn't stealing!"
The slovenly old Daoist corrected him righteously, then said smugly, "I told it that if it helped me with something, I'd find it a female roc to breed with someday. It got so lust-drunk that it happily followed me away."
"Can't be helped. I know this damned bird too well. Just like that bald old bastard, it's a downright lecherous rogue."
Su Yi: "..."
