Summoning Ten Ten-Thousand-Year Purple Lightning Thunder Eagles (Third Soul Skill)

The Eagle King moved.

Lightning no longer fell from the sky, yet the thunderclouds over Thunderstorm Peak began collapsing eerily toward the center.

Within a radius of three hundred meters, stray electric charges were forcibly dragged back by a magnetic field, gathering upon the Eagle King's outstretched eight-meter wings.

Its dark violet feathers burned into blinding pure white within two seconds.

High-voltage arcs were stacking frantically.

"Fall back! Dark Golden Iron Wall!"

Su Chen issued a mental command that could not be disobeyed.

Three Fearclaw Bears shattered the rocks beneath their feet and crossed before the formation, forming a triangular defensive line.

The metallic sheen spilling from their dark golden scales merged in the air, transforming into a semi-transparent, heavy shield wall.

The Eagle King looked down at the shield and released a shriek that pierced through the clouds.

Heavenly Thunder Descends.

A pure white lightning pillar ten meters across shot straight down from the depths of the clouds!

The air was instantly ionized, and the entire mountaintop was left with nothing but blinding white.

In the first second, the Dark Golden Iron Wall let out an ear-piercing screech of twisting metal.

In the second second, countless cracks burst across the barrier's surface.

In the third second, Iron Wall's limbs drove deep into the rock, and the muscles beneath its dark golden scales spasmed violently from the overload.

The fourth second.

Boom!

The shield shattered.

The residual force of the lightning pillar blasted the three Fearclaw Bears more than ten meters away. Iron Wall rolled across the ground several times, leaving a charred burn mark across its chest.

This was the first time a Dark Golden Terrorclaw Bear had had its defenses broken head-on.

"Yan Wuji, move."

Su Chen's voice was unusually clear amidst the thunder.

Yan Wuji slammed both palms against the ground as the Ice Dragon Shade roared behind him.

Hundreds of ice spikes shot diagonally into the sky like bamboo shoots after rain.

The dense forest of ice spikes instantly sealed off every patch of airspace within fifty meters beneath the Eagle King.

Ice did not conduct electricity.

The Eagle King's lightning continually refracted and dissipated amid the ice spikes, and its accumulated charge was forcibly interrupted.

"Now it's my turn."

Su Chen looked toward Mo Qianye.

Mo Qianye stood atop the tip of the tallest ice spike, six illusory deep crimson wings extending from his back.

Nether Phoenix Wings.

His entire body became a dark crimson blur, tracing an eerie arc through the air as he shot straight toward the Eagle King's face.

The indifference in the Eagle King's eyes was replaced by fury. It twisted its body sideways, and a violet bolt swept from the tip of its wing.

Mo Qianye twisted his body eerily in midair. Nether Phoenix Flame condensed into a short dagger in his hand, which he thrust precisely into the center of the electric arc.

This flame did not burn flesh. It burned only spiritual consciousness.

The Eagle King's movements stiffened for half a second.

Mo Qianye seized the opportunity to adjust his position, and his second slash was already on its way.

A spherical electric field exploded from the Eagle King's body. Mo Qianye was struck by the shockwave and hurled heavily toward the ground.

Yet as he fell, he gave Su Chen a look that said the plan had succeeded.

All of the Eagle King's attention was focused on the sky, but it had forgotten the shadows.

Eight Nether Shadow Leopards had long since climbed along the shadowed cracks in the mountainside to directly behind it.

Sixteen ghostly green eyes lit up in the darkness at once.

Position Three, right wing joint.

Su Chen delivered the final judgment through their mental link.

One shadow leopard shot from a crack in the rock, so fast it left a black line in the air.

Its claws sliced precisely into the weakest gap in the Eagle King's feather armor, at the joint.

Shadow Thrust.

Screech—!

The Eagle King let out its most miserable cry since the battle began.

Purple blood sprayed out. Its right wing instantly lost balance, and its massive body plummeted toward the ground.

"Iron Wall, receive the guest."

The Fearclaw Bear with the burn mark on its chest sprang from the ground.

Its three-meter-tall body erupted with an impact force that defied all physical sense.

It collided head-on with the falling Eagle King in midair.

Its dark golden terror claws, carrying the force of ten thousand jin, slammed viciously into the Eagle King's spine.

The sound of cracking bones was unmistakable.

The Eagle King was slapped into a rock pit three meters deep, struggling to spread its wings again.

The remaining seven Fearclaw Bears had already encircled it.

The Dark Golden Iron Wall formed up again, but this time, it sealed inward.

No matter how wildly violet-white currents leaped within the barrier, the dark golden scales steadily conducted the lightning into the earth.

Su Chen passed through the formation and stopped before the Eagle King.

In its deep violet vertical pupils, pride was being replaced by the fear of death.

Su Chen raised a hand and pressed it against its forehead.

The violet-black radiance of a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Ring erupted instantly, sweeping across the entire mountaintop like a tide.

The third Soul Ring took its place.

Violet light exploded.

Ten brand-new Ten-Thousand-Year Purple Lightning Thunder Eagles flapped their wings and soared into the sky from the void!

Their wingspans exceeded four meters, and tangible high-voltage arcs danced between their feathers.

The remaining dozens of wild thunder eagles scattered in terror the moment they sensed that aura.

Su Chen stood with his hands clasped behind his back.

Ten Dark Golden Terrorclaw Bears formed a heavily armored vanguard.

Ten Nether Shadow Leopards lurked in the shadows along the flanks.

Ten Purple Lightning Thunder Eagles circled overhead, stirring the thunderclouds.

Wind surged up from the valley, whipping Su Chen's robes with a fierce flutter.

"Do you know what this is called?"

Yan Wuji looked at this terrifying force capable of coordinating land and air, his voice a little dry.

"This is called all-branch coverage."

"Heavily armored ground forces, special infiltration, aerial firepower suppression."

"By yourself, you're a fully staffed combined brigade."

Mo Qianye climbed up from the ground. Though his right arm had been burned, his gaze remained fixed on the foot of the mountain.

"How long until Spirit Hall's Soul Emperors arrive?"

Su Chen closed his eyes.

Through the mental link, the shadow leopards stationed around the base of the mountain sent back an image.

Three powerful auras were tearing through the canopy, charging toward the mountaintop at tremendous speed.

Su Chen opened his eyes, a cold curve lifting at the corner of his mouth.

"They're already here."
