Chapter 570: Bluewinter

Tiny sparks of red lightning scattered into the surroundings like skipping snakes while the Three-Legged Golden Crow was struck with the full brunt of the Demonic Array's attack!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The red lightning snakes vaporized patches of soil in an instance, forming numerous small craters—to say nothing in the least for the Three-Legged Golden Crow!

However…

Caw!—Roar!!

The Three-Legged Golden Crow gave a hoarse cry like some mighty divine lion as its body was disintegrated by the demonic lightning!

Its flesh melted from the intense heat before it dried up and cracked. Ultimately, falling apart like broken charcoal!

CAW!

The Three-Legged Golden Crow gave a mighty cry in anger with its head raised against the sky!

A huge hole was revealed on its enormous body, penetrated straight through to the ground! Blood gushed out from its open wound, but its heart was still beating and lively!

"The Demonic Array actually failed to deliver a fatal hit?" Leon frowned.

Using Divine Will, Leon changed the Demonic Array's angle slightly to shift the lightning beam to shave right through the Three-Legged Golden Crow's beating heart and finish it once and for all.

However!

Crack!

The unstable Demonic Array could not withstand the prolonged burden of its own attack comprised of Wrathful Demonic Energies and collapsed under pressure!

Boom!

The Tier 3 Demonic Array exploded with an outburst of demonic discharge shooting outwards from the epicenter!

The thunderclouds were blown away in an instant before the surroundings were affected by a brief gust of strong winds!

Aria and Supreme Elder Haldir were forced to shift their heads away from the wind for a moment while Duna simply narrowed her eyes.

Shortly after, the grievously wounded Three-Legged Golden Crows locked its gaze on Leon.

Although it failed to ascend to Rank 3 Transcendent at the most critical moment, it was still at the peak of Rank 2 Transcendent with strength nearing 9-million jin!

Its cold gaze immediately sent a chill down Leon's spine.

"Dammit, I have not only failed to deliver a killing blow but also drew its attention onto me. This isn't an opponent I can take on!" Leon muttered with a heavy expression.

At the same time, the Blue Luans cried at each other, "The Three-Legged Golden Crow lives! However, it is seriously wounded! Come, my brothers and sisters! Don't let it recover!"

"In the words of humans, strike when the iron is hot! This is our chance to finish it off! Attack!"

The Blue Luans shot straight at the severely wounded Three-Legged Golden Crow in a united effort under the leadership of several High Rank 2 Transcendent Blue Luans.

CAW!

With a single powerful cry, the Peak Rank 2 Transcendent Three-Legged Golden Crow reignited with surging golden flames and swept the Blue Luans away!

At the same time, the other Three-Legged Golden Crows flew into action, attacking the Blue Luans while they were off guard, even when there was a significant disparity in their numbers!

Swoosh~!

The Peak Rank 2 Transcendent Three-Legged Golden Crow flapped its large feathered wings and took off from the ground.

Leon's expression turned grave in an instance.

"I mustn't endanger the others. No one can compete with this thing," Leon made the decision to retreat away from the others while the Peak Rank 2 Transcendent Three-Legged Golden Crow was hot on his tails.

Swoosh!

Leon shot into the skies immediately with rapid speed.

At the same time, Duna narrowed her eyes. But after a short moment, they immediately widened in realization, "This idiot!"

Duna quickly closed the distance as much as she could, but she was too far to catch up to them.

Even so, the power of the Destruction LAw gathered to the tips of her hand in large quantities before she quickly fired it at the rising Three-Legged Golden Crow!

Caw!

The Peak Rank 2 Transcendent Three-Legged Golden Crow immediately cried from having its tail, and one of its legs disintegrated by the power of destruction.

However, it did not change its target and continued to pursue Leon furiously!

Compared to the massive hole running through its body, the loss of a tail and leg was nothing!

"Tch!" Duna clicked her tongue.

If she had not already started forging her corporeal body, she could have continued to follow.

But because she did, she was forced to stop. The suppressive force of the sky weighed down on her, preventing her from flying too high.

Golden flames surged from the Peak Rank 2 Transcendent Three-Legged Golden Crow's body and enveloped its entire body.

It used the golden flames to burn its own wound, stopping the bleeding. At the same time, its speed increased before chasing after Leon with greater momentum.

At the same time, Aria had also flown over when she realized Leon was in danger.

In an instant, she quickly shot past Duna and continued on her upward path with her quickly conjured ice-lightning sword, breaking through the clouds.

"Stay back!"

Leon's figure could not be seen along with the huge, but his voice trickled into Aria's ears, causing her to tremble slightly.

"No! I can't let you face this danger alone!" Aria shouted back defiantly.

She continued cutting through the clouds, but the shadows of Leon and the Peak 2 Rank Transcendent Three-Legged Golden Crow was still nowhere to be seen.

"How can they be so fast?!"

"Believe in me!" Leon's voice trickled down again before Aria's body shook once more. He was forcing her to stop!

Aria immediately bit her lips.

Swoosh~!

The large bodies of a few Mid Rank 2 and High Rank 2 Transcendent Blue Luans swooped past before one of them spoke in passing, "Leave the human to us. We will make sure to bring him back to you in one piece."

"Alright..." Aria nodded heavily with knitted brows.

Energy was drained from her body as she slowly returned to the surface. She did not want to betray Leon's trust in the end.

Since he said to believe in him, she had to believe in him.

"We can't rely on humans to win our battles. In the end, we can only rely on ourselves. Bluewinter, take this chance to absorb the monarch's bloodline and awaken. You are the strongest of us all and have the highest chance of succeeding!" A Blue Luan spoke to another on the surface.

"Alright," A soft cool response was heard from a High Rank 2 Transcendent Blue Luan. 

It was the same bird that convinced the other Blue Luans to protect Leon previously.
