"Sacred Judgment: Demon Exorcism Sword!"
Whoosh!!!
The clouds split apart as an immense, holy sword of pure white light descended.
A second blazing sun appeared between heaven and earth. The power of judgment carried by the Demon Judging Sword locked firmly onto the Silver Sky Lord's aura, leaving it nowhere to flee.
Sensing the terrifying threat of heavenly punishment, the Silver Sky Lord's eyes flashed with savagery as it let out a piercing cry.
One Monarch-level Six-Clawed Demon Eagle after another, filled with a determination to die, threw themselves before the Demon Judging Sword like moths to a flame.
Pierce, pierce, pierce—!
Judge, judge, judge—!
Execute, execute, execute—!
The holy light sword pierced through nine Monarch-level Six-Clawed Demon Eagles in succession. The incomparably dense light elements disintegrated their bodies as the sword shot toward the Silver Sky Lord.
The Silver Sky Lord's gaze turned icy. It activated its silver blade storm domain and blocked the greatly weakened Demon Judging Sword, then shrieked furiously:
"Screech—!!!!"
More than half the subjects it had brought had been slaughtered;
The Monarch-level guards it had raised were nearly wiped out;
All because of that frail Light Element mage!
Kill!
How dare a mere mage provoke a monarch!
The Silver Sky Lord unleashed the speed at which feathered demons excelled. Its massive body became a streak of silver light darting through the clouds, its silver blade storm domain crushing the air as it charged with wild fury!
"My King, leave it to me."
"Go."
Mu Ningwei stepped through the air on shadows and cast Blessing Magic, enhancing the next Demon Judging Sword.
Fei Yi had not been idle. She controlled the demon blood that had flowed from the deaths of tens of thousands of White Demon Eagles, gathering it into a vast, bloody ocean across the sky.
Now that it was time to act, ancient crimson runes bloomed across Fei Yi's flawless white hands as she unleashed a sacrificial secret art.
The sea of blood filling the sky boiled before instantly evaporating.
Fei Yi summoned a Blood Energy Demon Bat as large as the Silver Sky Lord, carrying countless fangs condensed from surging blood energy as it crashed head-on into the Silver Sky Lord!
Boom!!!
The sky trembled.
The silver blade storm domain and countless blood-energy fangs launched a furious barrage against each other.
The Silver Sky Lord and the Blood Energy Demon Bat collided explosively. Sharp beak, chilling fangs, razor claws, powerful bodies—they tore savagely at each other!
Fei Yi was somewhat weaker. The demonic technique she cast using vast quantities of demon blood could not match the Silver Sky Lord, and she was soon injured as her energy rapidly drained away.
But she had bought enough time.
Mu Ningwei's Blessing Magic accelerated the construction of his star palace. Within only a few seconds, he had once again erected a magnificent pure-white star palace, wreathed in the tri-colored heavenly light of Sun, Moon, and Stars. He raised his hand toward the sky.
Whoosh!!!!
The clouds split apart.
The Demon Judging Sword burst with brilliant light, and heavenly punishment delivered judgment once more!
The Silver Sky Lord's furious eagle eyes turned crimson. It summoned its remaining Monarch-level Six-Clawed Demon Eagles to throw away their lives before the Demon Judging Sword, weakening its power by a few degrees.
At that moment, the Blood Energy Demon Bat suddenly self-destructed. The terrifying explosion scattered the silver blade storm domain and left the Silver Sky Lord in a wretched state, forcing it to face judgment with its physical body.
Pfft—!
The Demon Judging Sword pierced through the Silver Sky Lord's body, bursting out through its abdomen!
"Screech!!!!"
The Silver Sky Lord let out a mournful cry, spraying blood as it fell. With a thunderous crash, it smashed out another enormous crater.
Before the Demon Judging Sword could dissipate—
Fei Yi appeared above the Silver Sky Lord's head. Holy radiance reflected from her face while her Blood Eyes shimmered with bewitching charm, leaving the Silver Sky Lord dazed.
"Bleed without end!"
Fei Yi swung a grim blood claw a hundred meters long and tore off one of the Silver Sky Lord's wings.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~~~~~~
Every wound on the Silver Sky Lord immediately became like an erupting volcano. Crimson demon blood gushed out madly, accumulating into a sea of blood within the crater in the blink of an eye.
"Screech!!"
The Silver Sky Lord regained its senses. Even with a Monarch-level life force, the massive blood loss and severe wounds left it feeling weak.
If this continued, it would perish!
The Silver Sky Lord flapped its wings, but before it could take flight, the sea of blood beneath it transformed into dozens of thick octopus tentacles that bound it tightly.
Fei Yi spread her Blood Clan Great Wings and swiftly retreated. Lifting her gown, she gave an elegant curtsy.
"Goodbye."
Heavenly light bloomed.
Demon Judgment of Heaven's Punishment!
Mu Ningwei showed no mercy. The holy longsword descended from the sky and severed the head of the immobilized Silver Sky Lord!
A tyrant of the mortal world, the lofty king of the skies—
Fell on the spot!
"Is this the power of a Great Monarch?"
Mu Ningwei stood upon darkness and appeared beside Fei Yi, looking down at the enormous feathered demon corpse in the sea of blood.
In pursuit of magical power—
Mu Ningwei had exhausted his Blessing Element magic energy and depleted his Light Element Star Sea. Only by drawing on some of the energy within his divine blood had he managed to kill the Silver Sky Lord with Fei Yi's cooperation.
By comparison, his current Light Element combat power was on par with an Intermediate Monarch.
"My King, you used the Silver Sky Lord's blood to test the edge of the Demon Judging Sword for the first time. Are you satisfied with this result?"
Mu Ningwei nodded. "Being able to kill a Great Monarch has already refreshed my most glorious record."
Well, his previous most glorious record had been capturing Fei Yi alive.
Fei Yi smiled sweetly. "I knew my king would someday become invincible in the mortal world. It is my good fortune to follow at your side."
Mu Ningwei smiled gently. "You worked hard too. After absorbing the Silver Sky Lord's blood, you should be able to advance further."
"I'll deal with the remaining White Demon Eagles myself."
"Thank you for your reward, my king."
Fei Yi bowed, licking her alluring red lips, then landed atop the Silver Sky Lord's corpse to extract and absorb the energy within its monarch demon blood.
The shadows beneath Mu Ningwei erupted, and a Dark Pseudo-Dragon flew out to hunt down the White Demon Eagle flock.
The moment the Silver Sky Lord fell, the White Demon Eagle flock scattered in every direction, fleeing madly.
Mu Ningwei drew in the Silver Sky Lord's essence and stored it within the Dark Cross. Standing high in the sky upon darkness, he unleashed Sound Element magic to pursue and kill them.
These were all ready-made souls.
They could be used to cultivate Dark Servants or fed to them to increase their strength.
"So, so strong!"
Tang Yue's blood boiled as she watched the battle in the distance.
When the Silver Sky Lord's head fell, Mu Ningwei's holy and transcendent aura transformed. He became a ghostly, domineering king of darkness, using Shadow Element and Sound Element magic to slaughter White Demon Eagles by the flock.
One fleeing group of White Demon Eagles charged toward West Fortress.
The mage corps at West Fortress needed several rounds of concentrated magical fire before they could wipe out that group of White Demon Eagles.
Yet Mu Ningwei could kill a flock with a wave of his hand and destroy another with a flick of his wrist. His combat power was simply inhuman!!
Of the hundred thousand-plus White Demon Eagles, he had killed at least a hundred thousand by himself!
Tang Zhong could not calm his shock for a long time. After ordering the Lord Mages and Judgment Association members to recall their Sky Eagles and pursue the remaining White Demon Eagles, he was left utterly dazed.
"He... Mu Ningwei is really only twenty-one?"
Zhu Meng sucked in a cold breath. "Damn it, were the rumors within Parthenon true? Mu Ningwei really captured a monarch alive at the beginning of this year?"
Leng Qing asked curiously, "What do you mean, captured a monarch alive?"
Zhu Meng explained the fierce accomplishments of Mu Ningwei that he had heard about. "...I thought it was all exaggerated nonsense, but he really is this strong!"
Leng Qing was puzzled. "Then why didn't Parthenon make him a Golden Knight?"
Tang Zhong, Tang Yue, and the others also looked over curiously. "Yes, why?"
Zhu Meng spread his hands. "I don't know."
He truly could not understand the thought process of Parthenon's upper ranks.
Leng Qing frowned, suddenly feeling angry.
"Ningwei already proved himself by capturing a monarch alive, yet Parthenon openly bullied him. No wonder he came back."
"So much for the number one holy land of White Magic!"
Tang Zhong suddenly said, "As far as I know, Mu Ningwei does not seem to have joined any faction yet."
A family was merely one's background and did not affect one's career. Many family mages held positions within major forces.
Zhu Meng's eyes lit up. "Well said. I think Mu Ningwei has an affinity with our Imperial Palace Court!"
Leng Qing smiled. "Councilman Zhu Meng, Ningwei was interested in our Azure Hunter Institute before. You cannot steal him away."
Tang Zhong said, "I think Mu Ningwei and our Judgment Association... ah."
Tang Zhong gave Tang Yue a regretful glance and awkwardly stopped talking.
He remembered that Tang Yue seemed to have upset Mu Ningwei.
Look at Leng Qing, then look at his own Tang Yue.
Both were beauties, so why was the difference so great?
Tang Zhong let out a long sigh.
Tang Yue: "..."
Uncle, what does it mean when you sigh while looking at me?
