Thunder Continent, within a mountain range.
Whoosh!
Xia Ping's Hell Golden Crow avatar and World Tree avatar flew all the way here, finally meeting within a valley.
Since these two avatars shared the same origin and possessed the same source power, they could fuse together with ease and separate just as easily.
Still, he felt something strange—as though he were seeing two identical versions of himself, as if looking into a mirror.
But that sensation lasted only an instant.
"Fuse."
Xia Ping did not hesitate. Forming seals with both hands, the two avatars immediately turned liquid and merged with each other, forming a new avatar once more.
This avatar possessed both the power of the World Tree and the Hell Golden Crow.
"Hmm, you've finally caught up?"
Xia Ping raised a brow, turning to look into the distant void. Through his divine consciousness, he immediately detected more than a dozen powerful auras flying over, brimming with hostility.
Clearly, these ill-intentioned arrivals were Leopold and the other Starlight Python Demon Saints.
In fact, ever since leaving Haims City, he had continuously sensed the auras of these Demon Saints.
But in order to reunite with his World Tree avatar as quickly as possible, he had been too lazy to deal with them for the moment. He had even accelerated, attempting to shake off these Starlight Pythons.
Yet who could have expected these fellows to be so relentlessly persistent, clinging to him like lingering ghosts?
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!!!
In an instant, Leopold and the other Starlight Pythons tore through the void and arrived in this valley. They brazenly unleashed their tyrannical Demon Saint auras, warping the void for several light-years around them as they displayed their might.
"Wu, long time no see. You never expected us to meet again so soon, did you?
