539: Golden Crow Falls

"Not enough..."

Deep within the Inner Sea, as that low, majestic voice, tinged with disdain, echoed out, Dark Moon Dao Lord, enveloped in a dark cloak and with the Wheel of Dark Moon reappearing in his hand, felt his heart sink. His full-strength attack, unleashed with the help of the Dark Sun Heavenly Curtain, seemed to have had little effect.

A faint sense of powerlessness quietly rose in his heart, but Dark Moon Dao Lord erased it in an instant.

The Dark Moon Palace had explored for so many years, the time and cost paid were countless; he could not give up now.

"He... how can he be so strong..."

Dao Lord Xi Wu, with his golden wings gently fluttering, looked with horror at the enormous figure that had reappeared safely in the distance. A misconception arose in his heart, similar to when he faced the high and mighty Genius of the pure-blooded Golden Crow Clan in the Western Demon Court.

It was the same back then; no matter what he did, he was no match for that pure-blooded Golden Crow.

"Why! Why!"

A faint sense of humiliation filled Dao Lord Xi Wu's chest.

It was clearly the pure-blooded Golden Crow's mistake, colluding with the Human Race and giving birth to them.

Yet, in the end, they were the ones who had to bear the consequences.

Just two pure-blooded Golden Crows, one large and one small, appeared and slaughtered the Human Race lineage that had colluded with the Clan's Golden Crows.

In the end, even their mixed-blood descendants almost perished.

If he hadn't been exceptionally talented and volunteered to fight the young pure-blooded Golden Crow, proving his own talent...

He would probably have already gone to the Yellow Springs, but the price was never to step into the Western Region again.

"Why!"

"I'm not reconciled!"

Dao Lord Xi Wu's eyes were bloodshot. The enormous Black Giant Beast in the distance vaguely merged with the arrogant and disdainful Golden Crow of yesteryear.

"Demon Transformation!"

Dao Lord Xi Wu's heart hardened.

Inside his body, the flowing Golden Crow Bloodline was ignited by flames.

Boom!

An ancient and fierce aura soared into the sky.

Caw!

A sharp, ferocious cry echoed in the minds of the three people and one serpent present.

Boom!

The golden sun disappeared.

Whoosh ~ Whoosh ~

A Three-legged Golden Crow, tens of thousands of feet in size, with golden wings flapping, appeared between heaven and earth.

Golden Crow!

Burning the Bloodline Origin could temporarily transform one into a Golden Crow; this was a desperate move.

"Fellow Daoist Dark Moon, why aren't you attacking yet?"

The voice of Dao Lord Xi Wu came from the Three-legged Golden Crow, whose Demonic Qi soared into the sky.

"Is this... fighting to the death?"

Dark Moon Dao Lord's heart trembled. This was good; he was only afraid that Dao Lord Xi Wu would not put in his full effort.

"Good!"

Dark Moon Dao Lord's expression became solemn.

The Wheel of Dark Moon in his hand suddenly stopped.

Clang!

The Wheel of Dark Moon transformed into a curved blade, about ten feet long, held in Dark Moon Dao Lord's hand.

Buzz ~

Dark Moon Dao Lord's figure disappeared.

Caw!

At the same time, the Three-legged Golden Crow, tens of thousands of feet in size, flapped its wings and flew towards the Giant Black Beast.

Boom!

Countless flames spewed from the Golden Crow's mouth, burning towards the Giant Black Beast.

"Good timing!"

Mo Xuan's heart trembled.

From Dao Lord Xi Wu, he had already sensed the aura of a truly ancient Golden Crow.

Although he had not yet encountered a pure-blooded Golden Crow, Mo Xuan was already convinced in his heart that this was an intuition and connection between Divine Beasts.

The previous Dao Lord Xi Wu only had the form of a Golden Crow, but not its spirit. Only now, by fully transforming into a Golden Crow, did he truly possess both form and spirit.

"Golden Crow..."

Hai Ruoli, the beautiful Divine Maiden fighting Dark Star Dao Lord, felt her heart sink as unpleasant memories flooded her mind.

Whether willing to admit it or not, the Golden Crow was one of the most powerful Bloodlines.

Back then, among them, only Qing had the strength to fight, or even suppress, a pure-blooded Golden Crow.

"Wind, Rain, and Thunder Breath!"

Golden flames burned closer.

The 120,000-foot-long Giant Black Beast raised its head, its serpent mouth wide open.

A breath containing the Dao of wind, rain, and thunder spewed forth.

Boom!

The wind howled, the rain poured, and thunder cracked, colliding violently with the golden flames.

Mo Xuan's thoughts moved, and behind him, the Wings of Wind and Rain flapped open.

The Black Giant Serpent broke through the Void Realm, heading towards the enormous Golden Crow that was flying towards it.

The Wind, Rain, and Thunder Breath extinguished the golden flames.

Caw!

The Golden Crow cried out.

The Black Giant Serpent danced.

In an instant.

The two true behemoths had already met in the air.

The Golden Crow flapped its wings, its body rising, and its three claws suddenly extended, wanting to pierce the Black Giant Serpent with its talons, which burned with eternal golden flames.

Boom!

The golden talons collided with the Black Giant Serpent's body.

On the Black Giant Serpent's body, the dark scale clanged loudly.

The talons, burning with golden flames, left traces on the dark serpent scale, but did not pierce into it.

At this moment.

The Black Giant Serpent's body coiled upwards.

Following the golden three claws, it wrapped the tens of thousands of feet-long golden Divine Bird within its coils.

Death Coil!

Caw!

The golden Divine Bird cried out in pain, golden flames wildly gushing from its body.

Its wings, not yet fully coiled, vibrated rapidly, trying to break free from the Black Giant Serpent's control.

"Hmph."

Mo Xuan snorted coldly in his heart. How could he let go of such a good opportunity?

The huge, ferocious head lifted and then suddenly slammed down.

From the serpent's mouth, sharp fangs pierced through the golden flames and sank into the golden Divine Bird's body.

On top of its head, the purple-black Divine Thunder Horn pulsed with lightning, and destructive Divine Thunder flowed down the fangs into the golden Divine Bird's body.

Caw!

The golden Divine Bird, struggling with its wings, trembled, and an uncontrollable fear flowed from its eyes.

"Die!"

Just as the two behemoths were entangled in battle.

A figure, clad in a dark cloak and holding a dark crescent blade, without any aura revealed, appeared from behind the Black Giant Serpent.

The cloak behind him floated, and the dark crescent blade in his hand pulsed with a dim aura, then suddenly slashed down towards the Black Giant Serpent's back.

"Die!"

Dark Moon Dao Lord roared. This was an excellent opportunity.

Clang!

The crescent blade, imbued with the Dao of corrosive shadows, directly struck the Black Giant Serpent's body.

A huge clang of metal echoed.

"Roar!"

The Black Giant Serpent hissed in pain.

"Get lost!"

A low, majestic voice boomed.

Dark Moon Dao Lord, holding the Wheel of Dark Moon and continuously pouring Dao into it, his expression changed.

He then noticed that the Black Giant Beast in front of him suddenly swelled up.

Size As Desired Transformation Divine Ability!

Thump!

Caught off guard.

The suddenly enlarged Giant Black Beast was like a collapsing mountain.

It struck Dark Moon Dao Lord's figure, sending him through the Void Realm and flying backward.

"Thunder Law!"

After repelling Dark Moon Dao Lord, the Black Giant Beast's body contracted again, completely imprisoning the tens of thousands of feet-long Three-legged Golden Crow within its coils.

Boom!

The Giant Black Beast summoned, and between heaven and earth, purple-black destructive Heavenly Punishment Thunder seemed to fall from beyond the Nine Heavens.

Boom!

Boundless purple-black Divine Thunder swept across heaven and earth, covering the entire Inner Sea.

Deep within the thunder.

Caw!

A golden Divine Bird wailed and struggled.

But it was completely unable to break free, covered by the destructive thunderbolts.

Inside the golden Divine Bird's body, between its flesh and blood, its True Spirit was constantly being annihilated.

"The Dao of Destruction, annihilating the True Spirit..."

Reappearing, Dark Moon Dao Lord's expression darkened as he listened to the Divine Bird's wails, revealing a look of apprehension. The dark moon floated in the air, resisting the boundless destructive Divine Thunder.

Caw... The cries gradually weakened. Deep within the Divine Thunder, an aura plummeted.

"Fellow Daoist Xi Wu... is beyond saving..."

Dark Moon Dao Lord's movement, which was about to attack again, paused.

Deep within the dark purple Divine Thunder, the 120,000-foot-long Black Giant Serpent slowly stretched its body.

A human figure, with golden blood flowing all over him, fell from the sky.

With his Bloodline Origin exhausted and his True Spirit destroyed, even immortals could not save him.

Dark Moon Dao Lord stopped moving, his expression constantly changing.

"Heh..."

"I am just a Half-Demon. You are not necessarily stronger than a Golden Crow..."

Dao Lord Xi Wu, who had fallen from the Divine Thunder, let out a tragic laugh, closed his eyes, and allowed his body to fall into the sea.

"There will be a day when we meet again."

"At that time, all will be revealed."

The Black Giant Beast, swimming in the Divine Thunder and stretching its body, whispered in its heart, its gaze directed towards the figure obscured by the dark moon.

"Fellow Daoist Cen Ling, why don't you show yourself yet?"

At this moment, Dark Moon Dao Lord, whose expression was changing, suddenly shouted.

In the distance.

Dark Star Dao Lord, who was fighting the beautiful Divine Maiden, felt his heart tremble, and with a hint of disbelief, he looked towards the distant Void Realm.
