Battle Between Nascent Soul Cultivators
In the Outer Sea area of East Sea Gate, five Nascent Soul Realm experts simply watched the three fourth-order Demon Beast in the distance, their High Antiquity calm and composed, showing no signs of hostility.
Neither side's Nascent Soul Realm warriors have made a move yet; they are both quietly waiting for the battle below to determine the victor.
After all, once the Nascent Soul Realm cultivators started fighting, almost all the lesser cultivators and small Demon Beast below would die, so they didn't make a move.
Venerable Yaoguang narrowed his eyes as he watched the fleeing Demon Beast, and chuckled, "Eagle King, it seems you're still no good. Even with a backup plan on your descendant, you still couldn't break through."
In the air, the Eagle King, now in human form, calmly poured himself a cup of spiritual tea, took a sip, and said with a look of enjoyment, "No rush, no rush, this is just the beginning."
"What, haven't you gone crazy enough yet!" Tianxing shouted coldly, "Do you really want us to use our Spirit Treasure to fight you?!"
A blood-red youth dressed in blood-red robes revealed a bloodthirsty smile, "Spirit Treasure, I almost forgot, your Yaoguang Immortal Sect has Star Sea Chart. Yaoguang, why don't you take it out and have a look? I've never seen it before."
Venerable Yaoguang chuckled and said, "There's no need. We've all come this far; there's no need to resort to bloodshed. It hasn't been easy for anyone."
"Blood Shark, Eagle King, what exactly are you trying to do with all this fanfare? Are you really planning to fight to the death?" Venerable Yaoguang asked calmly.
"It's a matter of life and death," the Eagle King sighed. "My old bones and limbs don't have many years left to live, and you don't need to fight me to the death."
"Besides, you still have that painting. What do I have to fight you with?" The Eagle King chuckled self-deprecatingly, but the harmless old man of one moment had transformed into a sharp and ruthless figure the next. "I'm old, I don't have much of a life left, but... I don't want to die!"
In an instant, the Eagle King vanished, only to reappear a moment later above Tianxing's head, its aged claws, imbued with Savage Wilderness aura, swooping down.
Tianxin was terrified and could only passively defend himself, but judging from his desperate face, he probably didn't have much hope of holding on.
As expected of the Eagle King Xintian, his speed is so fast that even a Nascent Soul Early Stage can't react in time!
Blood Shark's figure flickered, transforming into a massive, blood-red shark. With a swift movement, he unleashed a beam of light, reeking of blood, that hurtled towards the group.
Bai Yu's figure flickered, transforming into a giant white peacock. With a flap of her wings, two beams of white light, radiating a destructive aura like a whirlwind, hurtled towards Yaoguang and the others.
Not far away, the Eagle King, clutching the mangled remains, returned to where he had just been. He licked the blood from his fingertips and then swallowed the remains whole.
"As expected of the Nascent Soul Realm expert's body, the taste is wonderful." Eagle King commented as he chewed slowly.
At this moment, Tianxing's Nascent Soul, hiding behind Yaoguang, was staring at the Eagle King with a venomous expression. However, this time he didn't say anything. He couldn't even withstand a single blow from the Eagle King, so what right did he have to speak?
However, while the Eagle King stopped, the other two did not. Venerable Yaoguang immediately took out a painting and threw it into the air. As the four Nascent Soul cultivators infused spiritual power into the painting, it immediately expanded, as if it were covering the sky and the sun.
Blood Shark and Bai Yu Feather swayed and transformed back into human form, returning to Eagle King's side. They coldly stared at the terrifying painting in the sky without any fear, as if it were not Spirit Treasure but merely something used to frighten people.
"Eagle King, I'll ask you one last time, will you retreat or not!"
Eagle King sneered, but a barely perceptible hint of fear flashed in his eyes as he glanced at the painting.
"Not bad, quite powerful," the Eagle King commented calmly, then added dismissively, "But this thing poses no threat to me."
"Even Spirit Treasure have varying strengths. Yours... tsk tsk... it seems your Yaoguang Immortal Sect has truly declined; you don't even have a decent Spirit Treasure anymore."
Upon hearing this, Venerable Yaoguang paused, immediately activating the scroll. Stars rained down on the Eagle King and his companions, each one possessing a power far exceeding that of Nascent Soul Late Stage. It was as if real stars were falling, creating an apocalyptic scene.
Eagle King and the other two dodged left and right. Although the stars were very dense, they were still not enough for Eagle King, who was known for his speed.
One by one, stars exploded, spewing out a burst of stellar power like a volcanic eruption. Any Demon Beast touched by this power died with howls of agony. Each exploding star cleared a section of the Demon Beast horde below.
As more than a dozen stars fell, the once densely packed horde of Demon Beast, except for those that had already escaped, was now reduced to less than one-tenth.
Even so, none of the three fourth-tier Demon Beast hiding among the stars felt sorry for the dead lesser demons, let alone risk their lives to protect those lowly creatures.
In the air, Venerable Yaoguang and the others looked increasingly grim. Although all four of them were activating this Spirit Treasure together, the enormous energy consumption was still pushing them to the limit.
The four exchanged glances, Venerable Yaoguang gritted his teeth and said, "Let's fight!"
A resolute glint flashed in the eyes of the other three, and they unleashed their spiritual power at that moment, frantically channeling it into the Star Chart. In an instant, the power emanating from the Star Chart intensified even further.
Eagle King, who was dodging the falling stardust, suddenly felt a jolt in his eyelids. Without thinking, he considered abandoning Blood Shark and fleeing, but Blood Shark had already anticipated this and grabbed his arm tightly, refusing to let go.
Blood Shark looked at Eagle King, a ferocious, bloodthirsty smile appearing on his face, "Big brother, abandoning your teammates is shameful. The other side is getting serious. If you want to run, you'll have to take me with you."
As peak fourth-tier Demon Beast, Blood Shark was not much weaker than Eagle King, only at a disadvantage in terms of speed. Therefore, Eagle King was so angry that his hair stood on end when faced with Blood Shark's entanglement.
"Fine, fine! I'll take you with me!" Eagle King roared, instantly transforming into a gigantic Sky-Soaring Eagle large enough to blot out the sky, every feather on its body swirling with the scent of the wind.
"Stop that Star Sword, and I'll lead you away!" After shouting this, the Eagle King transformed into a streak of white light and disappeared into the horizon in the blink of an eye. His speed was so fast that it moved the Nascent Soul present.
If the Eagle King had attacked them at that speed, they knew their fate wouldn't have been much better than Tianxing's.
But this attack didn't disappear just because they escaped. The Starry Sky Greatsword chased after the Eagle King and the others at an even faster speed, leaving a long, lingering trail of starlight like a shooting star.
