Lord of Seven Stars Tower Faces the Golden Crow

As soon as Bai finished speaking, the aura of the thunder beast phantom behind him grew stronger and stronger. The Lightning Force Field around Bai also began to roar, as if it was about to spew out all its energy.

Crackling and popping!

A force field formed a lightning barrier around Bai's body, protecting him within it.

"Roar--"

The Thunder Beast let out a roar that shook the heavens and earth, piercing the eardrums. Even through the array, the spectators in the surrounding stands could feel the powerful energy in the sound. This energy seemed to shake their internal organs, causing their blood and qi to surge and making them extremely uncomfortable.

"How terrifying!"

People were terrified. The roar of the thunder beast alone was enough to overwhelm them. If they were in Yi Yun's position, facing the thunder beast's impact head-on, what would they do?

Just then, Bai suddenly reached out and grabbed the Thunder Beast by the neck.

"Roar! Roar! Roar!"

The Thunder Beast roared even more frantically, its body shaking violently, and in this shaking, it slowly shrank.

As its size shrank, the thunderous power within the Thunder Beast grew stronger, and the lightning changed from purplish-black to pure black!

Just when everyone thought Bai was about to unleash the Thunder Beast to kill Yi Yun, a surprising scene suddenly unfolded: Bai actually pressed the Thunder Beast into his own chest.

Whoosh! The thunder beast entered Bai's body. With a loud "sizzle," Bai's clothes exploded completely after entering his body. The strong gale blew the pieces of clothing and Bai's hair upside down.

What!?

People were surprised, and many of them stood up involuntarily.

At this moment, looking at Bai's chest again, one could clearly see a phantom image of a thunder beast on his chest, like a tattoo on his skin.

Seeing this, people were completely speechless.

Bai actually devoured the thunder beast!!

The tattoos of the Thunder Beast spread across Bai's body, like streaks of tiger stripes and bolts of lightning, slowly climbing up Bai's neck and face. Bai looked like a completely different person, and this appearance of Bai truly made everyone's hearts tremble.

Just then, the lightning barrier around Bai contracted further, and finally all the energy condensed to form a thick, long serpentine phantom.

The snake grew increasingly solid and imposing. It was seven or eight zhang long, entirely black, with six heads, and its body was covered in snake patterns that resembled lightning.

"A six-headed Lightning Snake!?"

In the audience, someone exclaimed, "That's the white Dharma Aspect Totem!"

The white Dharma Aspect Totem was actually a six-headed Lightning Snake. This was an extremely terrifying existence among thunder-type wild beasts. In the Divine Wilderness, even Human Race Hegemon in the middle or late stages might not be able to deal with a six-headed Lightning Snake.

But Bai actually had a six-headed Lightning Snake Dharma Aspect Totem.

Generally speaking, the Dharma Aspect Totem of beasts that have been condensed correspond to the wild beasts that have been killed by martial artists.

The type of wild beast killed will likely determine the type of Dharma Aspect Totem that is formed.

To condense Dharma Aspect Totem, one must personally kill the wild beast; beasts killed by others are useless. Even Purple Crystal cannot violate this law.

Now, Bai has solidified into a six-headed Lightning Snake Dharma Aspect Totem.

This proves that he probably killed six Lightning Snake single-handedly!

Alternatively, it's possible that Bai killed a large number of three-headed Lightning Snake, causing the original three-headed Lightning Snake Dharma Aspect Totem to evolve into a six-headed Lightning Snake. If the six-headed Lightning Snake evolves further, it will become a nine-headed Lightning Snake, Ancient Remnant Species.

However, even the three-headed Lightning Snake, Great Wilderness that even a lord in the early stages of cultivation could not defeat.

How could Bai possibly have killed the three-headed Lightning Snake?

With the appearance of the six-headed Lightning Snake, lightning in the sky reached its peak, and black clouds gathered.

Boom!

Lightning flashed, and dark clouds gathered, growing ever denser. Through the open-air dome of the arena, one could see the clouds becoming increasingly Secret Manual, with wisps of moisture appearing along with them.

Before long, it started raining in the arena!

"Thunderstorm?"

People felt the cool raindrops falling on their faces and were all startled.

Thunder brings rain. When Bai unleashed the six-headed Lightning Snake Dharma Aspect Totem, the lightning he released was so powerful that it affected the celestial phenomena, causing rain to fall from the sky.

It's simply unbelievable that an Origin Foundation Realm martial artist could influence celestial phenomena.

"Is this Bai at his strongest?"

People who saw Bai were secretly alarmed.

"Hahaha! It's been so long since I've felt this good!" Bai laughed loudly. At this moment, his upper body was bare, revealing his strong muscles. His body was covered with tiger stripes and lightning tattoos. On his chest was a roaring black tiger thunder beast, and on his back were six Lightning Snake rising up. The Black Light Sword in his hand was also condensed with countless black lightning bolts, making Bai look like a thunder God of War of war!

Seeing this white, Yi Yun took a deep breath, his expression turning solemn.

Having devoured the black thunder beast and integrated its energy into himself, Lightning Snake, now at his peak Dharma Aspect Totem, is incredibly powerful.

To defeat Bai, I must go all out. But going all out means I won't be able to fight any more battles afterward.

"Yi Yun, make your move! In my current state, what I'm most looking forward to is facing the sword you used to defeat Feng Lin! I really want to know how much damage I'll take from that sword?"

Bai didn't say whether the sword strike would defeat him, but rather how much damage it would cause. Clearly, he believed that he could withstand the sword strike completely! He would only be injured, not defeated!

Bai was utterly confident in taking the sword strike that nearly killed Feng Lin —how arrogant!

But no one would say Bai is arrogant, because he has the power and the right to say such things!

"It's a pity you can't use that sword strike anymore, I'm sorry, but I will still defeat you at my strongest. Make your move, maybe... you can still give me some surprises, at least you won't disappoint me too much!"

Bai wielded Black Light Sword, its blade pointing directly at Yi Yun!

Yi Yun sighed softly, gently touching the Qi Guang Sword, and smiled helplessly.

"That sword strike, I truly cannot use it anymore... Originally, I still hoped there was even a sliver of a chance I could win the overall championship. After all, the Tai'a Divine Kingdom had been kind to me, so I've been holding back my strength, avoiding certain moves whenever possible. Otherwise, I'd be too exhausted, and I wouldn't be able to face the later battles. But..."

Yi Yun paused slightly as he spoke, then lightly stroked the Qi Guang Sword with his finger. The blade actually sliced open Yi Yun's tiger's mouth, and blood flowed onto the sword.

Yi Yun's blood, like scorching magma, began to burn fiercely after flowing onto the Qi Guang Sword.

"But facing you, I truly have no other choice. Fine! I won't think about it anymore. I'll just have a fierce battle with you!"

Yi Yun spoke, his eyes blazed with fighting spirit.

He stared at Bai, and Bai stared back at Yi Yun.

"Oh? Do you still think you have the ability to fight me? I will go all out in my next attack!" Bai said loudly.

Yi Yun smiled, "I will also go all out. I think my all-out attack will at least 'not disappoint' you!"

Yi Yun used the same words Bai had once spoken to retort to Bai.

Bai laughed loudly, "Good! I'm looking forward to it! But let me warn you, this attack of mine could kill you!"

As Bai spoke, a murderous aura surged from his entire body.

The martial artists of Tai'a Divine City, Wen Yu those who knew Yi Yun like Wen Yu and Chu Xiaoran, held their breath. Bai at his peak was truly terrifying, so strong that they couldn't muster the courage to resist.

On the elders' platform, Cang Yan was completely focused, fearing that something might go wrong with Yi Yun. In his opinion, even a sage in his youth might not be as capable as Bai now!

The rain is getting heavier.

Water vapor filled people's field of vision.

Bai Yi Yun, two prodigies of the same era, stood less than twenty feet apart, separated by layers of rain, gazing at each other from afar.

Just then, Bai made his move!

With a flick of his long black Longsword, he sliced through the thick curtain of rain like a black lightning bolt!

The power of that single sword strike shook heaven and earth!

The entire Divine Desolation Stage, with its thick Purple Tungsten Steel floor, was completely cleaved open by this sword, leaving a huge sword mark!

Bai's sharp Sword Light, along with the six-headed Lightning Snake totem, rushed towards Yi Yun!

Yi Yun's pupils contracted. At this moment, he also drew his sword. It was still a move from the Sword Tomb, but with a trace of Pure Yang Sword intent mixed in. It was also the strongest Sword Intent that Yi Yun could withstand at the moment.

However, this Sword Intent alone is far from enough.

At that very moment, a clear sound rang out from within Yi Yun's body!

This clear cry was like the Feng Ming of a phoenix soaring from the heavens. No matter how long the rain continued or how loud the thunder roared, it was all drowned out by this clear cry!

What was that sound!?

People were astonished; the sound was so loud, it seemed to ring right next to their ears and penetrate their very souls, yet it was not harsh at all, but rather possessed a soothing and comforting power!

Boom!

The Pure Yang Flame burned, like a sun exploding behind Yi Yun, forming the phantom of Tanggu Fusang Tree. Before people could react, a divine light suddenly shone, like a divine sword, shooting straight into the sky and parting the dark clouds!

"Whistle--"

Once again, that high-pitched, clear cry rang out, and people watched in astonishment as a golden crow, its entire body engulfed in Pure Yang Flame, burst forth from Yi Yun's body and shot straight up along the divine light!

This golden crow, with a wingspan of tens of meters, almost obscured the entire Divine Desolation Stage.

Under the burning Pure Yang Flame, the surrounding raindrops and moisture evaporated instantly!

"My God! What is this?"

People were astonished. The divine bird that rushed out had eyes like a crow, a beak like a falcon, tail feathers like a phoenix, three legs, and feathers that were all burning with golden pure yang flames!

"A golden crow!? Three-legged Golden Crow!?"

Someone shouted the name in disbelief. This golden crow had burst forth from Yi Yun's body—could it be Yi Yun's Dharma Aspect Totem!?

"How is that possible!?"

For ordinary martial artists, the fact that their Dharma Aspect Totem is in the form of King-level Savage Beast is already Celestial Person!

For example, white is like that.

If it is Ancient Remnant Species, that is even more incredible, and generally only sages can possess it.

After all, once a martial artist obtains Dharma Aspect Totem, they must complete the hunting process themselves. Generally, only sages and saints are capable of hunting Ancient Remnant Species.

Even if Human Race Hegemon were to kill Ancient Remnant Species by chance, he might not have the ability to absorb it!

But it's Three-legged Golden Crow!

It is a level higher than the Ancient Remnant Species!

How could this possibly happen to a Purple Blood Realm martial artist!?

Before people could think further, they saw the Three-legged Golden Crow charge towards the six-headed Lightning Snake. It let out a fierce roar and stretched out its three sharp claws to grab at the six-headed Lightning Snake.

Crackle!

Purple lightning roared, and Pure Yang Flame surged as the Lightning Snake and the golden crow fiercely battled in the sky!

Snakes are already no match for eagles and falcons, so how could a six-headed Lightning Snake possibly defeat a divine beast like the Golden Crow?

In just a few breaths, the three-legged creature entered the house and snapped the six-headed Lightning Snake in two!

Those six Lightning Snake, just like real flesh and blood beasts, sprayed out surging blood!

Yi Yun's sword, after the Three-legged Golden Crow killed the six-headed Lightning Snake, slashed down together with the Three-legged Golden Crow!

At that moment, heaven and earth seemed to fall silent. In people's vision, there was only this golden Sword Light, shining brightly, and even the dark clouds in the sky were cut open by this sword!

Boom!

The lightning shattered, and Pure Yang Fire erupted, burning the heavens and earth.

Yi Yun's sword struck Bai's Lightning Force Field with tremendous force, shattering the field like paper!

Bai was greatly alarmed and raised his sword to meet the attack. However, under the terrifying Pure Yang Flame, facing the Three-legged Golden Crow that resembled a divine beast, he felt that his power was simply no match for it.

Boom!

The Sword Light shattered, and Bai felt a powerful force rushing towards him, leaving him as powerless as a leaf in a storm!

"White!!"

Beside the Tai'a Divine City, the Lord of Seven Stars Tower's pupils contracted, and his body shot straight up, shattering the seats beneath him!

At the same time, Bai Kuang coughed up a mouthful of blood. His Protective Vital Energy shattered, his sternum collapsed completely, and he was thrown away like a piece of paper. The deadly Pure Yang Sword was still pressed against Bai's body, almost taking his life!

Just then, the Lord of Seven Stars Tower appeared beside Bai as if by teleportation and caught him.

"Boom!"

With a mere flick of his sleeve, the Seven Star Lord of Seven Stars Tower shattered the terrifying Pure Yang Sword before it even reached his body.

When people saw the Lord of Seven Stars Tower take the hit from the heavily injured Bai, they were speechless.

The outcome of this battle was astounding—Bai was defeated by Yi Yun!?

The final white deed was to have the strongest member of the Cloud Dragon Divine Kingdom on this trip to the Tai'a Divine Kingdom — the Lord of Seven Stars Tower —personally go to rescue him!

People felt as if they were in a dream, especially the warriors of the Cloud Dragon Divine Kingdom, who found it unacceptable.

Bai was like the God of War of their Cloud Dragon Divine Kingdom, yet he was defeated by a boy several years younger than him and with a lower cultivation level. Was that even possible?

People looked up at the sky and saw that the rain had stopped. Yi Yun's sword had cleaved through the dark clouds, dispelling the rain caused by Bai's thunder!

One person can conjure rain, while another can cleave the dark clouds!

It's hard to imagine the extent of this battle, and it's hard to believe that they are all young martial artists!

What surprised people most was the fleeting appearance of the Three-legged Golden Crow at the final moment of the great battle.

The mysterious phantom, burning with golden Pure Yang Flame, remained imprinted on the irises of the surrounding audience, lingering there.

That was undoubtedly Three-legged Golden Crow, but how did it appear? Could it be Yi Yun's Dharma Aspect Totem?

People looked at Yi Yun in disbelief.

How could a martial artist at the Purple Blood Realm possess Three-legged Golden Crow Dharma Aspect Totem!?
