Chapter 589: 498 Thunder Roc’s Might_1

A vast expanse of plains, a yellow Escape Light swiftly sweeps across the high skies.

In the void up ahead, a golden firelight ignited, revealing a Golden Crow whose wingspan reached a hundred zhang as it appeared with two pairs of golden wings.

An early-stage Fifth Rank Four-Winged Golden Crow, progeny of the Golden Crow.

The Four-Winged Golden Crow opened its mouth and spewed a golden flame, hurtling directly towards the yellow Escape Light.

The yellow Escape Light came to a halt, revealing a battle-scarred Yellow Giant Ape.

Since advancing to the Divinity Transformation Stage, Shen Long had never taken such a heavy loss, truly a Soul Transformation Cultivator from the Realm of the Spiritual Pivot.

The Yellow Giant Ape let out an earth-shattering roar and spurted a yellow soundwave, charging forward to meet it.

The yellow soundwave collided with the golden flame, obliterating each other and causing a powerful shockwave. Dust filled the air as the shockwave spread in all directions, shattering the ground for hundreds of miles around.

The Four-Winged Golden Crow cried out with a clear, crystalline voice as it gently flapped its wings, conjuring numerous scarlet firelights in the void that instantly transformed into crimson fire-spears over ten zhang long, burrowing into the haze of dust.

A tremendous booming sound rose, the firelight reaching to the heavens.

With a flash of golden light, a colossal golden brick descended from the sky, aiming at the area where the Yellow Giant Ape was located.

At that moment, a thick gold thunder pillar shot up to the sky.

The golden thunder pillar collided with the giant golden brick, halting its descent.

A golden thunder light ignited overhead, and Shen Long appeared above the Four-Winged Golden Crow, his back adorned with a pair of massive golden wings, his body covered in golden electric arcs.

He had merged with the Thunder Roc!

He had purposely lured his enemy to this remote location, firstly to avoid exposing the presence of the Thunder Roc, his ace in the hole, which would lose its advantage if widely known.

Secondly, dueling in Tianyuan City would mean easy support from other Soul Transformation Cultivators of the Tianyuan Tribe.

Shen Long opened his mouth and spewed out a thick golden thunder pillar, striking the Four-Winged Golden Crow. The Crow screeched pitifully as the thunder light enveloped its form.

With a fierce flap of his golden wings, Shen Long released countless golden thunderballs that shot straight towards the Four-Winged Golden Crow.

The sound of thunder grew louder, and the lightning became more dazzling.

His right hand transformed into a large golden claw wreathed in lightning, snatching at the Four-Winged Golden Crow.

A sharp cry resounded as the body of the Four-Winged Golden Crow was pierced by the golden claw, and a miniature Four-Winged Golden Crow flew out of its body.

He summoned a Green Gourd and captured the miniaturized Four-Winged Golden Crow.

Cold winds swept through, with a multitude of white snowflakes descending from the sky. The snowflakes twirled in the breeze, transforming into white ice spears over ten zhang long before they could even touch the ground.

These ice spears sped towards Shen Long with great velocity.

Shen Long harrumphed, and with a powerful flap of his golden wings, a wave of golden electric arcs swept out, shattering the incoming white ice spears.

A thunderous explosion erupted, and gold and white Spiritual Light clashed intensely in the sky.

A white Spiritual Light flared behind Shen Long, and an Ice Flood Dragon appeared.

It swung its right claw towards Shen Long, who reacted swiftly, his left hand morphing into a huge bird claw to meet it head-on.

The bird claw collided with the dragon claw, generating a dull thud, flinging Shen Long back through the air.

The Ice Flood Dragon opened its massive maw and exhaled a thick beam of white light, heading straight for Shen Long.

Shen Long’s golden wings fluttered gently, transforming him into a golden thunder light that vanished from view.

The next moment, a deafening roar of thunder filled the skies, and what was once a clear sky suddenly darkened with storm clouds, lightning flashing and thunder rolling.

Thick silver lightning bolts tore through the heavens, striking at the Ice Flood Dragon.

Just as the Ice Flood Dragon tried to dodge, a loud bell tolled, causing its massive body to shudder.

Seizing this opportunity, a dense barrage of silver lightning struck the Ice Flood Dragon’s body, engulfing it in radiant thunderlight.

An arc of golden lightning flashed above the Ice Flood Dragon, and Shen Long emerged, opening his mouth to unleash a thick bolt of golden lightning that struck the dragon squarely.

The Ice Flood Dragon let out a shrill cry of agony as its tail swept around like a thick white whip, lashing out at Shen Long.

With a gentle flutter of his golden wings, Shen Long vanished from his spot, dodging the Ice Flood Dragon’s attack once more.

A massive column of silver lightning tore through the sky, crashing down upon the Ice Flood Dragon, making the lightning even brighter and emitting a harrowing dragon wail.

The Dragon Suppressing Seal appeared out of nowhere and smashed down on it.

At the same time, Shen Long activated the Soul Devouring Bell.

With the "clang, clang, clang" of the bell ringing, the Ice Flood Dragon’s body trembled uncontrollably as it was struck by the Dragon Suppressing Seal.

Most of the Dragon Suppressing Seal sunk into the ground, leaving numerous cracks on the surface.

With a wave of his hand, Shen Long recalled the Dragon Suppressing Seal, and a huge pit appeared on the ground, within it a pile of mush.

A mini dragon flew out from the pile of mush, enveloped in a green halo of light, and was swept into a green gourd.

Bian Xiao and Yin Shi caught up, their complexions turning exceedingly grim.

"What kind of Art of Transformation is this?" Yin Shi asked, frowning.

"This isn’t an Art of Transformation; such arts can’t control the power of thunder and lightning to attack the enemy. He must have united with his Life-Bound Spirit Bird. Wasn’t it said that his Life-Bound Spirit Bird is a Gold-Winged Windroc?" Bian Xiao said with an unhappy expression.

If it weren’t for the flawed intelligence, his years-long nurtured Four-Winged Golden Crow might not have met its demise.

"Rumors claimed the Gold-Winged Windroc was his Life-Bound Spirit Bird; could it be that it has mutated into a Thunder Roc?"

Yin Shi made a bold speculation.

"Impossible! Do you think mutation in Spirit Birds is so easy? Even in the Realm of the Spiritual Pivot, mutated spirit birds are rare. The higher the purity of bloodline, the greater the chance of mutation. Spirit birds from The Lower Realm generally don’t have high purity of bloodline; reaching rank five is already an incredible stroke of luck," Bian Xiao firmly rejected Yin Shi’s conjecture.

In the Tianyuan Realm, there have been countless rank five demonic birds throughout the million years, most of which couldn’t speak like humans, and not one was a mutated Spirit Bird.

With a flick of his wrist, a silver light shot out from his Spirit Beast Bracelet, transforming into a giant lion.

The lion was entirely red with red manes and silver fleshy wings on its back.

A rank five early-stage Thunderwing Flame Lion, Bian Xiao’s Life-Bound Spirit Beast, was adept at lightning fire spells.

The lion’s body shone with Spiritual Light as it united with Bian Xiao, his back sprouting a pair of silver wings, and his body surrounded by silver electric arcs.

With a gesture, Yin Shi made a golden giant brick smash towards Shen Long.

With a spell cast by Shen Long, the sky was filled with thunder, and thick silver lightning bolts slashed through the heavens, striking towards Yin Shi and Bian Xiao.

"Hmph, petty tricks," Bian Xiao snorted with disdain.

His right hand glowed brightly red as he lifted it. Little specks of red light appeared in the air, transforming into several spears of red fire dozens of feet long that charged forward.

The silver lightning collided with the red fire spears, annihilating each other, and from the impact, a strong gust blasted in every direction.

Bian Xiao frowned, thinking that since his cultivation was higher than Shen Long’s, the power of his attack using nature’s spiritual energy should be greater. It seemed that Shen Long’s Life-Bound Spirit Bird had rather strong Divine Skills.

"Could his Life-Bound Spirit Bird be a rank five Thunder Roc? But how could a Thunder Roc emerge in The Lower Realm! Could it really be a mutation of the Gold-Winged Windroc?" Bian Xiao wondered to himself.
