The Great Demon Strikes

Ever since Lu Yun sent a carrier pigeon letter to Lu Xingwen, telling him that he had taken a master at the Unfixed Pagoda and would not be returning to the Heavenly Origin Martial Arts Hall for the time being, half a year had passed in the blink of an eye.

He usually remained on the eighth floor in quiet cultivation. Even Qing Yuanzi saw him at most once a month.

That day, Lu Yun was seated in meditation, comprehending the Heavenly Sword Art, when he suddenly sensed an invisible pressure sweeping in from the distant west. His entire body shuddered, and his eyes snapped open.

Lu Yun looked through the window into the distance. By now, he had reached the peak of the Void Transformation Realm, and his vision could extend several thousand kilometers.

Vaguely, he could see a massive silver eagle soaring across the horizon.

"Late Dao-Seeking Realm!"

Lu Yun could not help murmuring under his breath.

Ever since the Thunderclap Venom Xun Python had been put down, he had not seen a demonic beast above the Void Transformation Realm for a long time.

And now, there were only two Void Transformation Realm experts on Sky Net Star.

Other than Baili Yuchen, who had broken through to the initial Void Transformation Realm just last month, there was only Lu Yun himself.

As for Qing Yuanzi, though he was vastly experienced, his lifespan was running short and his vital energy and blood were depleted. It would be difficult for him to advance any further in martial cultivation.

"It seems that as spiritual energy gradually revives, more and more powerful figures will return. This silver eagle should merely be the vanguard."

Lu Yun muttered to himself, "However, no matter who they are, as long as they are enemies of Sky Net Star, I will make sure they come but never return."

Bzzzz!

At that thought, an immense aura suddenly erupted from Lu Yun's body.

In an instant.

That aura surged mightily across the heavens, sending the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into violent turmoil.

Such pressure was enough to fill any cultivator below the Void Transformation Realm with fear.

At that moment, the silver eagle seemed to sense something. It suddenly turned and let out a piercing screech toward the Unfixed Pagoda, where Lu Yun was.

Then it fiercely flapped its wings and sped in this direction.

Screech!

Before long.

The entire sky above Bluestone Square was shrouded in silver radiance, as though a veil of silver had been draped over the heavens.

At the center of that silver radiance, a gigantic eagle hovered in midair.

The giant eagle was silver-white from head to toe. With its wings spread, it spanned five or six meters. Its body was covered in silver-white feathers, while its beak alone stretched ten meters long, razor-sharp as a blade and enough to make one's heart tremble.

At this moment.

There were also dozens of martial artists on Bluestone Square, cultivating there as usual.

Roar!

Upon seeing these humans,

The silver eagle abruptly dove down, slashing a claw straight at them.

The martial artists immediately descended into chaos and scattered in every direction.

But compared to that giant eagle, their speed was not worth mentioning.

Very quickly.

Many among them were torn to pieces by the giant eagle's beak and claws. Blood sprayed through the air, instantly dyeing the ground red.

"What demonic beast dares harm people here?"

A sharp rebuke suddenly rang across all of Bluestone Square.

Immediately afterward, a golden figure swept over from afar, instantly blocking the martial artists who were still fleeing.

This person.

Was none other than Baili Yuchen, who had likewise remained at the Unfixed Pagoda to cultivate.

Anger filled his face. Clearly, the silver eagle's actions had enraged him.

"A mere little ant at the initial Void Transformation Realm dares provoke me?"

The silver eagle spoke in human words, its icy eyes fixed on Baili Yuchen.

"Beast! You are courting death!"

A chilling killing intent flashed in Baili Yuchen's eyes. He raised a hand and struck out with his palm.

When everyone encounters advertisements such as "Are you a True Person?", there is no need to pay attention to them. Just close them; do not scan codes or send text messages!

His palm transformed into a giant hand like a mountain range, covering the sky as it crushed directly toward the silver eagle.

The silver eagle snorted disdainfully and stomped both feet against the ground. In an instant, the bluestone slabs beneath its claws crumbled into powder.

Right afterward.

The silver eagle shot up from the ground and opened its beak, spewing out a mass of golden flames.

The temperature of that flame was terrifyingly high. Even an initial Void Transformation Realm expert would suffer grievous injuries if struck by it.

Yet Baili Yuchen showed no intention of retreating. Instead, he charged headlong into danger, raising his right arm again and smashing it toward the golden flames.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The two masses of flames collided in an instant, and explosions erupted.

Wave after wave of terrifying air currents and violent force surged outward from the point of collision, lifting the bluestone flooring off the ground. Smoke and dust filled the surroundings, leaving the area in utter devastation.

But at that moment, Baili Yuchen's pupils suddenly contracted.

Because in that very second, he abruptly sensed a dangerous aura.

Sure enough!

As the smoke and dust dispersed, the silver eagle's body gradually emerged once more.

"This thing actually evolved again!" Baili Yuchen cried out.

"This demonic beast is so strong!"

It was not only Baili Yuchen; nearly everyone saw the changes on the silver eagle's body.

The silver eagle had actually grown even larger than before.

Its two foreclaws in particular had become immensely thick and powerful, more than three times larger than they had been.

Beneath its massive wings grew countless densely packed, incomparably sharp silver needles.

Those needles flickered with dark blue arcs of lightning, making everyone's scalp tingle.

Suddenly, the silver eagle threw back its head and roared, unleashing shrieks chilling enough to freeze the blood.

"Not good, its cultivation has advanced to the Dao-Seeking Realm!"

"How could this happen?"

Facing a Dao-Seeking Realm demonic beast, Baili Yuchen no longer had any confidence to continue fighting.

The gap in strength between them was like a vast chasm, impossible to cross.

"Detestable humans, die!"

Boom! Boom! Boom!

With a flap of the silver eagle's wings, a hurricane instantly arose.

After a deafening blast.

Baili Yuchen was sent flying backward, crashing through several ancient trees before barely managing to stabilize himself.

Pfft!

Baili Yuchen spat out a mouthful of blood, his face frighteningly pale.

This giant eagle was far too powerful.

"Humans! You forced all of this upon me! Today, I will use your blood to wash away the humiliation my race once suffered!"

The silver eagle howled at the sky, its pair of eyes brimming with bloodthirsty light.

Immediately afterward, the silver eagle violently shook its wings.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Countless steel-needle-like feathers turned into streams of light, instantly appearing around Baili Yuchen.

Then...

The silver eagle opened its beak, revealing sharp, gleaming fangs, and viciously bit down toward Baili Yuchen.

Baili Yuchen's expression changed drastically. He hurriedly activated his spiritual power, intending to resist with every ounce of strength he possessed.

But...

He knew in his heart that he was very likely to perish here today.

"I never thought it would end like this!"

Just as the silver eagle was about to lunge for his throat, a streak of golden light suddenly tore through the air and transformed into a massive golden shield, instantly protecting Baili Yuchen behind it.
