The sharp claws of the Golden-winged Roc ripped through the air. The golden claws tore through the space and covered this corner of the world. It was swooping down at the flying boat occupied by Ye Futian and the others.
Blind Tie stepped forward and raised his hand to blast out the golden divine hammer, suppressing the void without absolute might.
Bang! There was a loud boom as the claws collided with the divine hammer in an explosion of brilliant golden light. The Golden-winged Roc flew back in retreat, then planted itself firmly above the golden clouds. Its wings spread wide to shield the sky and the sun. Its eyes were extremely pugnacious.
His head now turned into a human head. His eyes were golden in color with an extremely intense look. This reminded Ye Futian of the Little Condor. It was a pity that the Little Condor’s cultivation was not yet high enough for him to cultivate in the Starry Cultivation Court. Otherwise, he could have elevated his realm like everyone else, and he would be here exploring with them.
“Outsiders, which world are you from?” the Golden-winged Roc uttered, which revealed that he knew that Ye Futian and the others were coming from the outside world. It seemed that he knew they were drawn into this world by the storm of quicksand.
“We came from the Divine Prefecture, traveling to the Western World for trials. We hold no ill will,” Ye Futian replied to the Golden-winged Roc. However, this divine bird was defiant by nature. His eyes remained fierce, and he continued staring down Ye Futian and his people. There was an otherworldly spirit in those eyes.
“Since you are guests from afar, please follow me to the mountain,” the Golden-winged Roc said as he looked at Ye Futian and the others. Although it seemed like an invitation, his tone was rather forceful.
Ye Futian glanced at the golden celestial mountain in the distance. It seemed to be floating on top of the golden clouds. There was a glorious ancient temple on the celestial mountain, which this Golden-winged Roc had presumably come from.
However, he could also see that this Golden-winged Roc had ulterior motives, and none of them were good for them. But, as newcomers, they had no idea why the Roc felt offended and had started attacking them right from the start.
“We just got here and have no idea which world this is. What place is that celestial mountain ahead of us?” Ye Futian asked.
“This here is Six Desires Heaven, and the celestial mountain ahead is the divine mountain of Six Desires Heaven, known as the Holy Land of Six Desires Heaven. Your presence here is most fortuitous; you should find some time to visit it,” the Golden-winged Roc continued.
“Six Desires Heaven!” Ye Futian murmured. He was not yet familiar with the setup of the worlds in the Western World, and he needed time to investigate.
However, this Golden-winged Roc did state the exact location of this divine mountain.
More importantly, if a divine bird at the peak of the Demon Emperor Realm actually existed on this divine mountain, there might be other even stronger characters there, like those who had survived the Divine Tribulation of the Great Path; their exact realm would be unknown. It would not be advisable to proceed with hast.
“There is no need. We have just arrived in Six Desires Heaven for the first time and will visit the Lower Worlds for now. We will visit the divine mountain later.” Ye Futian responded with a faint smile. He declined the offer outright.
He had no interest in engaging in false entreaties with the other and turned down the invitation. He found no reason to step into someone else’s territory so soon.
When his suggestion was rejected by Ye Futian, a chilling expression flashed through the eyes of the Golden-winged Roc; it was as sharp as could be. His wings opened wide to cover this corner of the sky, and those golden divine wings casually flapped a couple of times. Nonetheless, wisps of stinging aura seemed to cut through the void, lacerating the bodies of Ye Futian and the others.
Ye Futian and his group were shrouded in a golden light screen while the wings of the Golden-winged Roc beat vigorously. In an instant, countless golden feathers rained down, cutting across the space. Each and every one of those golden feathers seemed to be the sharpest blade, aiming to kill Ye Futian and his people.
Blind Tie raised his head slightly as the golden divine light was shining all over his body. However, at this time, Chen Yi unleashed an endless light from his body. When the light collided with the feathers that slashed toward them, the feathers were unable to chop all the way through. They dissipated under the light instead.
Ye Futian took a look at Chen Yi. After Chen Yi inherited the light, his cultivation level did not change, as he was still a Renhuang in the Eighth-Realm. However, his power had morphed, and he was able to block the attack from the other using the power of light he had inherited.
“What should we do?” Chen Yi whispered, clearly asking Ye Futian for instruction. It seemed he had no doubts about his ability to overpower this divine bird, something as simple as asking this question, which demonstrated the confidence Chen Yi now felt.
In the world of cultivation, reaching the level of Renhuang meant that a transformation had taken place and the once mortal form had been shed. Although the divine bird was born with its natural ability, it had no particular advantage to speak of. Furthermore, Chen Yi now possessed the Illumining Body of the Great Path.
“Keep control over him, but don’t take his life,” Ye Futian replied without any intention of refusing Chen Yi’s offer to counterstrike. He knew Chen Yi wanted to honor his promise and repay him. This was what Blind Chen wanted. After he had inherited the light, Chen Yi would stay by Ye Futian’s side, assisting him.
“Done!” Chen Yi’s body floated in the air, the light shining brightly. All the feathers were destroyed and disappeared under the light.
The golden eyes of the Golden-winged Roc were as cold as a blade as he assessed Chen Yi. This one turned out to be a Renhuang of the Eighth-Realm and an expert in the rare power of the light.
Buzz! A golden storm now raged between heaven and earth as the divine wings of the Golden-winged Roc slashed down. The wings magnified instantly as they split the void, aiming towards Chen Yi, who was floating in the air.
The speed of the Golden-winged Roc was unimaginably fast, whether on the move or during an attack. The divine wings sliced down instantaneously, leaving a golden trace in the space, which blasted on Chen Yi’s body, but it turned out to be only an afterimage.
A smear of light appeared in the void, approaching the Golden-winged Roc. It was the speed of light.
Buzz! A gale raged. The Golden-winged Roc flapped its wings and disappeared right where he was, but the light pursued him relentlessly and with great speed. The two left nothing of their movements but shadows trailing behind them in the void, which was hard to detect by the naked eye.
The Golden-winged Roc was known to be unparalleled in speed. One could only imagine how fast he might be. However, today he encountered Chen Yi, who was an expert at the power of light. He was even faster than him.
Knowing that he could not be any faster than Chen Yi, the wings of the divine bird slapped together as countless golden sharp blades attempted to shatter the space inside. It was as a last-ditch effort to end Chen Yi right here, right now.
But at this moment, his eyes saw the light. And in an instant, his eyes felt a sharp pain; it was as if they were being stabbed. It seemed that the power of the light had directly invaded his soul.
In an instant, the Golden-winged Roc closed its eyes and dared not open them again.
Numerous rays of light shone on his massive body now and pierced into his flesh. The Golden-winged Roc made a screeching and sustained howling as if he was in extreme pain. At this moment, another figure appeared in front of him and commanded, “Open your eyes.”
This voice seemed to contain a demonic power as the Golden-winged Roc couldn’t help but open his eyes. Then, he saw a pair of penetrating and terrifying wicked eyes invading inside of him, and a frightening spiritual will invaded his mind and proceeded to control him!
