Versatile Mage: Invincible from the Fire of Disaster

Chapter 321 The Summit of Qinling Mountains
The sky seemed exceptionally distant.

The unique, bone-chilling winds of the Qinling Mountains howled past, growing stronger and stronger!

“The wind is getting stronger and stronger.” Zhang Xiaohou’s expression was grave.

"It seems to be the Feathered Demon Festival, which happens every few years," Jiang Shaoxu suddenly said, looking at the increasingly towering trees and the raging winds around them.

"The Feathered Demon Festival? What's that?" Mo Fan asked, puzzled.

"The Feathered Demon Festival is actually a special gathering of the Feathered Demon clan. The winds of the Qinling Mountains have a cyclical nature, with a period of frenzy every few years. During this period of frenzy, the winds are at their most intense, and the Feathered Demons take advantage of this opportunity to ride the winds and fly to higher places in the Qinling Mountains to occupy better living space and resources."

Lin Ming used one hand to create a spatial barrier to defend against the attacking Suo Feng, while explaining to the others.

“And the ultimate goal of all the winged demons is that place.” Lin Ming raised his head and looked in another direction.

"That place?" Everyone looked up in confusion, following Lin Ming's gaze.

It was an incredibly tall mountain peak, with only one foot of it visible, the rest hidden in the clouds. Even among the towering Qinling Mountains, it stood out like a crane among chickens!

"That is the sacred land of the Feathered Demons. If any Feathered Demon can fly to that place, they can directly become the Emperor of the Feathered Demons!"

A hint of excitement flickered in Jiang Shaoxu's eyes; this scene was also described in her brother's notes.

"And the divine deer and the Tree of Oaths we're looking for are right there!"

Just then, Lingling frowned, as if she realized something was wrong, and her eyes kept darting around.

"Don't you find it strange? Isn't this the Feathered Demon Festival? Logically, all the Feathered Demons in the Qinling Mountains should be gathered here, so why haven't we seen a single one?"

Yup!

Only then did everyone realize why there were so few Feathered Demons at the Feathered Demon Festival.

There were only a few scattered little demons circling in the forest, and it didn't look like a grand ceremony at all.

As an officer in the Qinling Mountains, Zhang Xiaohou seemed to have guessed something. His brows were furrowed, and he kept staring in one direction of the Qinling Mountains.

"Violent!!!"

The mountain-feathered lord beneath him let out a sharp cry, and a violent rising wind instantly tilted his body to the side!

Everyone quickly steadied themselves and clung tightly to the back of the deceased Shan Yu, but they were thrown off.

"Attention! An updraft is about to start! Prepare to surge upwards!"

Lin Ming gave a stern reminder, his expression somewhat serious.

He couldn't guarantee that the Mountain Feather King beneath his feet could safely fly to the top of the Qinling Mountains. If several people fell down at once, it would be troublesome for him to rescue them!
No one dared to be careless, and for a moment they stopped thinking about the Feathered Demon. Instead, they lowered their bodies to avoid being blown away.

"Violent!!!"

With a long cry from the King of the Mountain Feather, the Rising Wind instantly erupted completely!

A terrifying force lifted everyone upwards!

With a sudden flap of its long wings, Shan Yu Wangjun unleashed a terrifying burst of spatial power, successfully stabilizing its body and flying towards the top of the Qinling Mountains at an incomprehensible speed!
However, the rising wind was even faster than the fallen king of the mountain, directly blowing away all the clouds blocking the mountainside!
This fully reveals the appearance of the summit of the Qinling Mountains!
Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant!

Even after the clouds had been blown away, the top was still almost invisible to everyone!

Only a faint, striking bright green hue can be seen at the very top!
Lin Ming looked at the crowd who were still in awe of the Qinling Mountains; "Everyone, don't be in awe yet, come over and cast defensive spells to resist the wind!"

Everyone was startled, thinking that Lin Ming was about to collapse. They dared not be careless and quickly used magic to resist the surrounding winds.

"Old Zhao, the task of resisting the wind is entrusted to you."

Lin Ming looked at Zhao Manyan.

"Yes!" Zhao Manyan nodded immediately, and a defensive spell was cast instantly!

However, the magic energy is consumed very quickly, and it can't last more than a few minutes!
But a few minutes is enough!

Lin Ming turned his gaze to the summit of the Qinling Mountains, where a divine tree rooted in the mountain range stood!
Tree of Vows!

He wasn't about to give up; he was determined to use all his strength to help the Mountain Feather King reach the highest point of the Qinling Mountains! Silver and gray light flashed across Lin Ming's body, and countless stars gathered behind him!
The next moment, the stars aligned, and a magnificent star palace appeared!

Gray mixed with silver!

Spatial magic combined with necromancy!

"King's Gift - Wings of Sky Breaker!"

In an instant, the majestic star palace transformed into specks of starlight and gathered on the body of the Mountain Feather King!
The death aura erupted instantly, and countless roars and wails echoed from his body!

Its wings suddenly spread open, instantly turning into a bright silver color, and even a slight flap caused the space to tremble!

The next moment, the wailing death energy gathered on the Sky-Piercing Wings, as if turning into endless fuel, instantly constructing the Sky-Piercing Wings that were both pitch black and bright silver!
"Violent!!!"

The Mountain Feather King let out a long cry, and with a sudden flap of his wings, he vanished from the spot in an instant!

The next moment, they appeared thousands of meters in the air!
After several more flashes, it broke through all obstacles and appeared on the summit of the Qinling Mountains, which seemed to touch the sky!
"Violent!!!"

The Mountain Feather King let out a long cry, and the silver light on its wings slowly disappeared before it landed on the mountain peak.

The crowd was still reeling from the terrifying speed they had just witnessed, their expressions filled with bewilderment.

Lin Ming didn't stand on ceremony with them. With a wave of his hand, he instantly pulled them all down.

He then gently patted the Mountain Feather King, whose undead fire had dimmed somewhat.

"Well done, take a rest now."

Immediately, a rift appeared in the Netherworld, pulling Shan Yu the Undead back into it.

"Is this the Tree of Oaths? It's several times larger than the Tree of Oaths at the Inquisition!!!"

Jiang Shaoxu looked at the Tree of Oath and sighed.

"Where is the divine deer?" Mo Fan asked, looking around in confusion but unable to find any trace of it.

Yu Shishi glanced around, and the Moon Phoenix Moth flew off her shoulder and landed on Lin Ming's shoulder.

After the Star Language Giant Tree devoured the Purple Forged Divine Tree, only a few leaves remained. Lin Ming felt they were useless, so he gave them directly to the Moon Phoenix Moth.

Now the Moon Phoenix Moth has successfully emerged from its cocoon and become a butterfly, and it is quite close to Lin Ming, the person who helped it break through.

Lin Ming gently touched the Moon Phoenix Moth on his shoulder, and then received a message.

He turned around and found something that looked like a stone, then tossed it to Mo Fan.

"These are the antlers of the divine deer."

This Azure Dragon sequence is useless to me.

Mo Fan carefully took the divine deer antlers, and was about to ask something when he was interrupted by Zhang Xiaohou, who had been standing to the side.

"Everyone, come and take a look. I think I've found the reason why all the Feathered Demons have disappeared."

The group was somewhat puzzled, but they still walked to Zhang Xiaohou's position.

But as soon as they got there, their eyes widened in surprise!

"This...this is a spirit of the dead?" Mo Fan looked down in disbelief.

The clouds were blown away, and the scene on the other side of the Qinling Mountains instantly appeared before everyone's eyes!

Dead air!

An incredibly dense aura of death!
The Qinling Mountains, which should have been full of life, were now filled with death!
There wasn't a single sign of life in sight!
Countless undead have spread across half of the Qinling Mountains, turning the verdant Qinling Mountains completely gray!

Meanwhile, the monarchs and winged demons who should have participated in the winged demon festival were all circling in the air, letting out mournful cries!
Green is fighting against gray, but the gray death aura that has invaded half of the Qinling Mountains is still surging towards the other half of the Qinling Mountains like a tide!
