Yan Xiao was crazed and wicked, utterly fearless of death.
So long as the power Ao Kui had left behind remained undying, it could be reborn again and again without end.
The core of that power was still imprisoned within Jiang Wang's Yuheng Star Tower. It was both Jiang Wang's means of controlling it and a source from which it could be replenished with Star Power at any time.
Having only just revived, it gave its right wing a shake and pounced at Zhuang Gaoxian again.
What a reckless vanguard!
Zhuang Gaoxian turned and spread his hand. Jade Void qi unfurled into a thousand threads, weaving into a cage and merging into one breath as it trapped Yan Xiao within.
Yan Xiao's vicious nature was untamable; it still rammed the cage with its beak!
Given Zhuang Gaoxian's cultivation, of course he would not give this evil bird another chance to wear him down. With one hand maintaining the cage that imprisoned Yan Xiao, he traced its origin with the other. He intended to find the root of Yan Xiao's rebirth and erase it utterly.
Yan Xiao was the Bird of Ultimate Evil, born from primordial evil itself.
Even he, caught unprepared, could kill its true form but could not sever its spiritual nature. And the true source of this thing's rebirth was not here...
Just as Zhuang Gaoxian's gaze rose high, reaching toward the distant Starry Sky in pursuit, the first thing he saw was a blazing sun.
The radiant great sun came from the east, and boundless dragon qi flared in full blaze!
King Pingdeng struck at this moment. The instant she moved, she unleashed her strongest killing technique, using dragon qi to command the blazing sun—overbearing and peerless in its ferocity.
The timing could not have been better.
