"Evan Lin's secrets are honestly so many it's hard to believe. That Golden-Winged Roc is the fastest among all immortal birds, and its attack power is terrifying. How did he get his hands on it? I need to ask him properly when I get the chance," said the Sect Master of Loveless Sword Tomb.
Luna was just as shocked in her heart. She hadn't expected Goldwing to really evolve into a Golden-Winged Roc. Back when she first met it, it was just an eighth-tier flying beast, and now, in the blink of an eye, it had become this terrifying.
Now that Goldwing had transformed, Shadow—the Bloodshadow Berserker Lion—must also be unimaginably powerful. When Evan Lin brings Shadow out, it's bound to cause another sensation.
At that moment, Goldwing's feathers and Glasswind shot directly at Skyshade Hall's Grand Elder. Such terrifying attack power was something he had never faced before. His expression turned extremely serious as he swung his longsword and slashed out quickly.
A mid-stage Immortal Emperor's casual strike could shake the heavens and earth. This was still the Immortal Realm—if it were in the Ancient Canglan Lands or the Battlefield of the Gods, the ground would probably have been destroyed long ago. With this sword, several powerful waves of sword-qi shot out, intercepting the golden feather arrows flying toward him.
But Goldwing's feather arrows were more than a few. Even with the Grand Elder's powerful sword-qi, he couldn't knock them all down. A few arrows pierced through his defense and stabbed deep into his flesh.
Those golden feather arrows were laced with metal-element particles—utterly indestructible. As the arrows entered his body, the particles rampaged inside, causing waves of agonizing pain and making him break out in cold sweat.
He hadn't expected a mere golden bird to have such terrifying attack power. If this kept up, he might actually be killed. Anxiety started to creep into his heart.
Down below, Hector Vaughn saw his trusted subordinate gravely injured and felt a jolt of alarm. With a flash, he shot up into the air. "You mangy feathered beast, how dare you injure Skyshade Hall's Grand Elder! Today I'll make sure you die without a corpse!"
Hector Vaughn was a late-stage Immortal Emperor. Goldwing couldn't match him head-on, but could still hold out for a while. Goldwing's golden light flared, and in an instant, hundreds of feather arrows rained down on Hector Vaughn and the Grand Elder—this time, there were hundreds.
Goldwing's body shrank, turning into a fist-sized golden bird. His speed was indescribable—only a streak of golden light flashed across the sky, making it impossible for anyone to see exactly where he was.
Hector Vaughn and the Grand Elder hurriedly blocked the incoming feather arrows, swinging dozens of times before finally batting them away. Just then, Goldwing transformed into a golden streak and shot straight at the Grand Elder.
A scream of agony burst from the Grand Elder as he plummeted from the sky. Hector Vaughn rushed down to catch him, but after a closer look, realized he was already dead—his Immortal Infant shattered, with a bowl-sized bloody hole in his chest.
All his internal organs were pulverized—obviously the work of that golden giant bird. Now that the giant bird had become a tiny one, it was even harder to deal with. A mid-stage Immortal Emperor actually killed by a mere feathered beast—Hector Vaughn could hardly believe it.
Evan Lin finished slaughtering the Immortal Lords who had besieged him. Goldwing landed on his shoulder, making everyone present feel like they were dreaming—unable to believe their eyes.
"Such a powerful Golden-Winged Roc, it can even kill mid-stage Immortal Emperors. Having an immortal bird like that is enough to make anyone jealous," Nolan Nangong exclaimed.
"Only someone with heaven-defying luck could possess such a beast. The Golden-Winged Roc is a legendary raptor—while not number one among immortal beasts, it's definitely top three. The Immortal Beast Continent has been sealed for ages, so how did he get one?" said the Sect Master of Loveless Sword Tomb.
"Only he himself knows. The seal on the Immortal Beast Continent still has a thousand years left. If no one ascends to the God Realm within that time, the Immortal Realm could face another crisis," Nolan Nangong replied.
"Even if a crisis comes, that's a thousand years away. For now, let's not worry about it—just enjoy this rare battle," said the Sect Master of Loveless Sword Tomb.
Now that all of Hector Vaughn's trusted subordinates had been killed by Evan Lin, Hector was nearly driven mad with rage. If the fury in his eyes could kill, Evan would have died a thousand deaths already.
At that moment, Xander Xuan flew to Hector Vaughn's side and said, "Brother Hector, you handle that brat, I'll deal with the golden bird. I refuse to believe my Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation can't kill it."
Hector Vaughn glanced at Xander Xuan and said, "Alright, but be careful. Once I kill that brat, I'll come help you."
After making their plan, the two immediately flew to Evan Lin. "Kid, I didn't expect you to have such a powerful raptor, but today both you and your beast will die. I'll show you what happens when you offend Hector Vaughn!"
"Goldwing, fall back for now. This guy is a late-stage Immortal Emperor—his attacks are extremely dangerous. If he unleashes his spatial domain, I'm afraid you won't be able to handle it," Evan Lin said.
"Boss, you're underestimating me! Any ordinary spatial domain is useless against me—unless it's the legendary ninefold spatial domain, but that's impossible. So don't worry, let's fight side by side, but it'd be even more fun if you bring out Shadow too!" Goldwing retorted.
"Shadow's powerful defense can fully withstand attacks from a mid-stage Immortal Emperor. Even though this old guy is late-stage, hurting him won't be easy. Plus, Shadow has a special skill that's so terrifying even I fear it," said Goldwing.
Evan Lin was briefly stunned; after all, he'd spent little time with them in recent years and didn't know much about their current abilities. Hearing Goldwing say this, he became curious to see just how strong Shadow had become.
With a thought, Shadow appeared in the air. At the moment, Shadow looked like a half-meter-long little dog. Upon seeing Evan Lin, he immediately said, "Big brother, are these two old fools giving you trouble? I'll wipe them out!"
Seeing another little dog-like immortal beast appear at Evan Lin's side, both Hector Vaughn and Xander Xuan were shocked. Evan Lin really had endless surprises; from the aura of this little dog, it was clear it was another extremely fierce immortal beast.
At that moment, Shadow suddenly threw back his head and roared, a dazzling red light instantly erupting from his body...
