A black Bone Fan materialized in the Thunder Crow King's hand. It appeared to have been forged from his own bones and feathers, and a single glance was enough to know it was no ordinary item.
Demon Beasts couldn't craft conventional armants, but they could forge weapons from their own bones and hides. As for the process, only the Demon Beasts themselves knew. To possess such a weapon, a Demon Beast had to have reached Tier Five.
This was because most Demon Beasts could only assu human form after reaching Tier Five. Upon breaking through, a weapon would automatically begin to form within their bodies—a kind of innate skill.
The Snake King's attack barreled straight toward him. The Thunder Crow King hurriedly waved his Bone Fan, sending a row of afterimages into the air. They collided with the powerful Sword Qi, producing a series of deafening booms. A violent energy storm began to spread through the forest, laying waste to the woods.
The Thunder Crow King's left arm had been injured by the Snake King, weakening his attacks. This counter was also rushed, so it failed to harm the Snake King. The Snake King's sword, however, left several new gashes on the crow's body, deep enough to expose bone.
Dark red blood gushed from the wounds, filling the air with its thick, coppery scent. The blow only intensified the Thunder Crow King's desire to flee. 'The Snake King is the most powerful Demon Beast in the High-Level Demon Beast Region,' he thought. 'My own strength is a fair bit weaker than his. And now with that Ancient Fierce Beast, the Eight-winged Golden Scale Python, here too... if I don't escape now, death will be certain.'
"Snake King, must you hunt to the death?" the Thunder Crow King said in desperation. "We've always kept to ourselves. Just agree to let leave, and you can na any condition!"
"You're being far too naive," the Snake King sneered. "Anyone who dares to attack a King must die. I want your Thunder Attribute Magic Crystal. Are you going to give it to ?"
"Snake King, you've gone too far! Even if I die today, I'll take you down with !" The Thunder Crow King, goaded by the Snake King's words, flew into a humiliated rage.
"Feel free to try," the Snake King said. "You're already heavily injured. What right do you have to make such boasts? Don't tell you're going to mutate? Or maybe you'll self-destruct for us? If that's the case, then I'd have to count myself unlucky!"
The Thunder Crow King wanted nothing more than to tear the Snake King to shreds, but his strength was indeed weaker, and he was now heavily injured. Self-destruction was simply beyond his capabilities. Mutated Demon Beasts were exceptionally rare, and his bloodline wasn't of that caliber.
"Snake King, we'll see if I can take you with ! Just try !" the Thunder Crow King roared.
His Bone Fan was suddenly wreathed in Thunder Power, emitting a loud CRACKLE. A storm of afterimages then filled the air, each one laced with imnse Thunder Power. This was arguably the Thunder Crow King's most powerful attack.
"Parlor tricks!" the Snake King roared. "Let show you true power!"
He slashed out with his Snake Bone Sword, and the sky instantly filled with a myriad of sword images that intertwined with the Thunder Crow King's fan afterimages. Thunder Power and Sword Qi clashed violently. Space itself trembled once more, and the force of the collision felt apocalyptic.
The Attack Power of a Tier Five Demon Beast was truly extraordinary. Within a radius of several hundred ters, every tree was obliterated, leaving only stumps. The trunks and leaves had been pulverized by the imnse Energy, and as the gale created by the storm swirled through the air, the sky suddenly darkened.
The force of the exchange sent both the Thunder Crow King and the Snake King flying back dozens of ters. Several new bone-deep wounds appeared on the Thunder Crow King's body. His face turned ashen, his expression contorted in agony.
The Snake King also sustained several cuts, and his expression was just as grim. The Thunder Power was not only painful but also had a paralyzing effect, leaving his body slightly numb and significantly slowing his movents.
The Thunder Crow King knew the effects of his own attack well. Despite his grievous injuries, he understood this was the perfect ti to strike. Enduring the agony, he lunged at the Snake King.
On the ground, Ye Tian's eyes remained tightly shut. He was completely unconscious, but the Dragon Pearl within him was continuously releasing Energy to repair his ravaged body. Anyone else would have long since perished.
Even Lin Ling, with her Four Veins cultivation, would have perished from the attack that the Thunder Crow King had dealt Ye Tian. Ye Tian only survived thanks to his Divine Dragon Battle Body and his absorption of the Thunder Power.
At the ti, Ye Tian hadn't been too concerned about the Thunder Crow King's strike, certain that the War Dragon Remnant Soul inside him would co to his aid. But this ti, he had miscalculated. The War Dragon Remnant Soul did not intervene.
If Ye Tian had been conscious, he would have seen a tiny bead appear in his Dantian. This bead was filled with Thunder Power—the first sign of the Thunder Spirit Body forming. Once it was fully ford, Ye Tian, too, would be able to wield Thunder Power to attack his enemies.
The War Dragon Remnant Soul had chosen not to help Ye Tian precisely because it wanted him to develop the Thunder Spirit Body. With the Dragon Pearl inside him, death was not a possibility. As for the Thunder Crow King's Attack Power, the remnant soul understood it more clearly than anyone.
If the strongest expert on the Divine Dragon Continent in his ti hadn't possessed even that much foresight, he would have never deserved the title.
Inside his body, Dragon Spiritual Power and Thunder Power moved slowly through his ridians. On the surface, Ye Tian's flesh looked like charcoal, but if one could peel away the charred layer, they would find skin as smooth and supple as a newborn's underneath.
This was Ye Tian's true body after its baptism by Thunder Power. It was also this process that allowed his Divine Dragon Battle Body to break through to the Third Layer. However, Ye Tian remained completely unaware of all this.
Anxiety flooded Lin Ling's heart. Ye Tian was her man, yet she was powerless to help him after he had sustained such grievous injuries. She was tornted by self-bla, anguish, and utter helplessness.
anwhile, the Eight-winged Golden Scale Python had slaughtered more than half of the Thunder Crows in the sky. The rest had already fled. Although Thunder Crows were Demon Beasts known for their unity, they still acted on instinct when faced with certain death.
Moreover, the Tier Four Thunder Crows possessed intelligence, making the Eight-winged Golden Scale Python's slaughter all the easier.
With fewer and fewer Thunder Crows in the sky, the Eight-winged Golden Scale Python abandoned the slaughter and flew directly toward the true culprit: the Thunder Crow King. Its hatred for him had reached its absolute limit.
This ti, it didn't use any other attacks. Instead, it opened its enormous mouth and inhaled sharply in the direction of the distant Thunder Crow King.
An overwhelming suction force erupted from its maw. The Thunder Crow King found himself being pulled irresistibly toward the Eight-winged Golden Scale Python's mouth. The sight left the nearby Snake King completely stunned.
Devour! This was another of the Eight-winged Golden Scale Python's skills, one that allowed it to swallow its enemies whole. This ti, the Thunder Crow King truly had only a slim chance of survival…
