Chapter 316 Heading to the Demon Beast's Lair! Slaying a Level 10 Demon Cultivator!

On Biling Island.

The overwhelming demonic aura and the stench of blood did not dissipate with the collapse of the beast tide.

Around the Spirit Mine Mountain, the mountain of demonic beast corpses, the demonic blood flowing like rivers and seeping into the earth, and the lingering intense malevolent aura and deathly intent in the air lingered for a long time.

It silently tells the story of the extremely fierce battle that took place not long ago.

Tianhen Old Monster, Nanlong Marquis, Linghu Ancestor, Yuan Yao, Xue Ye and others have all recovered a little from the fatigue and tension of the battle.

Instead of immediately returning to their caves to recuperate and heal their injuries, they mustered their strength and began directing the original Yin Island cultivators, who had been brought by Zhou Yuan to be in charge of mining, as well as the transformed demonic beasts such as the Gale Beast and Thunderclap, to carry out preliminary cleanup and tidying of the battlefield.

This great battle left over a million corpses!

The vast majority of them were low-level demonic beasts of level four or five, but there were also quite a few level six boss-level demonic beasts, and even some level seven demonic beast corpses, equivalent to the late stage of Core Formation, mixed in.

Although most of the corpses of these mid-level demonic beasts were mangled by Zhou Yuan's terrifying spells and sword light, some relatively intact parts remained: claws harder than metal, inner cores radiating immense demonic power, strange wings suitable for crafting flying magic weapons, incredibly flexible beast tendons, and fragments of bones and shells containing special attributes.

These materials might be nothing more than a supplementary item for Nascent Soul cultivators.

However, for cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage, especially those in the Foundation Establishment and Core Formation stages, it is a precious material for refining magical artifacts and treasures, and is quite valuable.

Naturally, no one was going to waste the materials. Under the organization of Yuan Yao and Xue Ye, they carefully collected these valuable materials, categorized them, and temporarily stored them in the warehouse for future distribution or use in the sect's development.

As for the numerous but low-value corpses of low-level demonic beasts, and the completely damaged remains of mid- to high-level demonic beasts devoid of spiritual energy, Zhou Yuan made different arrangements.

"These corpses don't need to be cleaned up; just leave them where they are."

Standing atop the main peak, Zhou Yuan surveyed the vast, blood-soaked landscape stretching for dozens of miles around the island, almost raising the coastline. His gaze was calm. "Having endured this carnage, this place has accumulated a terrifying aura of ferocity, death, and resentment. For ordinary creatures, this is a death trap, but for demonic beasts, especially low-level ones lacking intelligence, it evokes an instinctive, deep-seated fear and awe. With a little arrangement, drawing upon the earth's energy and adding simple formations, a natural barrier of malevolent energy can be formed."

He paused, then continued, "From now on, low-level demonic beasts that have not yet developed intelligence will be intimidated by this ferocious aura and will not dare to approach the area within a hundred miles of Biling Island. Even if higher-ups of the demon race want to launch a beast tide and use these low-level cannon fodder, the effect will be greatly reduced. At least, the threat of a beast tide of this scale will not occur again in the short term."

Use the corpses of monsters and the battlefield's malevolent energy to build a natural defensive line!

This plan is a win-win situation, saving the huge project of cleaning up the corpses and adding an invisible layer of protection to Biling Island.

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up, admiring Zhou Yuan's foresight. Old Monster Tianhen clapped his hands in praise, "Senior Brother's plan is brilliant! Using their corpses to build our wall! After this battle, the fearsome reputation of Biling Island will surely spread throughout the outer seas. Let's see which foolish monster dares to easily invade!"

Zhou Yuan nodded, said no more, and personally began to repair, reinforce, and even rearrange the defensive barriers around the island.

In this battle, the outer early warning, illusion, and trapping formations were severely damaged. This provided a good opportunity to combine the changes in terrain with the newly added...

The "Evil Barrier" has been optimized and upgraded.

He also incorporated some special materials obtained from the monsters into it.

Everyone performed their duties to assist Zhou Yuan. Xue Ye, an expert in formations, was responsible for assisting in the deduction and setup; Yuan Yao, Nan Longhou, and others led their men to draw upon the earth's veins and construct the formation base according to Zhou Yuan's instructions; and the transformed demon beasts such as the Gale Beast were responsible for guarding and transporting materials.

Half a month passed quietly amidst the busy repairs and reconstruction.

Half a month later, the scenery around Biling Island had changed dramatically.

Centered on the two core mountain peaks, the area radiating outwards for nearly a hundred miles is once again enveloped by a complex array of layers upon layers, imbued with spiritual light.

Beyond the great formation lies a shocking "land of corpses" stretching for tens of miles.

The corpses of countless monsters piled up and intertwined, many of them already rotting and weathering, emitting a strong stench and the aura of death.

The dense, almost impenetrable aura of malevolence and death, like a thick, lead-gray fog, shrouds this area year-round, making it difficult for sunlight to penetrate and leaving the area perpetually dark and cold, as if connected to the deepest hell.

Occasionally, some low-level seabirds or marine creatures, oblivious to their fate, stray into this area and immediately let out terrified cries, turn around, and flee frantically, as if they have encountered a natural enemy.

All the malevolent, bloody, and deathly auras were firmly kept out by the newly arranged and more powerful array restrictions.

Standing atop the core peak, aside from the visually eerie "corridor of corpses," one feels almost no discomfort.

Inside the cave, the spiritual energy remained pure and abundant, and the Spirit Eye Spring flowed gently, making it seem like a completely different world from the outside.

On this day, Zhou Yuan finally stopped making the final adjustments to the restriction.

He stood tall atop the main peak, gazing at the impregnable defenses and the surrounding barrier of death, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.

Immediately, he reached into his robes and took something out from his body.

It was a bead only the size of a pigeon's egg, pure white and smooth, as if carved from the finest mutton fat jade.

But at this moment, this once pure and flawless white bead was now covered with countless fine, hair-like, crisscrossing lines.

Dark red lines, pulsating slightly like blood vessels!

These patterns are not static, but slowly flowing and intertwining, faintly forming an extremely complex pattern that exudes an eerie and ominous aura. Upon closer inspection, it even resembles a tightly closed eye filled with resentment and murderous desire!

This item is the "Evil-Absorbing Pearl," a rare treasure that Zhou Yuan unexpectedly obtained from the body of the wicked "Infant Carp Beast" after killing it in the Chaotic Star Sea!

This bead possesses extraordinary properties; it can automatically absorb and store the "evil energy" generated on the wearer from killing, fighting, or practicing evil arts, preventing this energy from corroding the body.

After Zhou Yuan obtained the pearl, he always wore it close to his body.

For decades, he roamed the chaotic star sea of ​​Tiannan, experiencing countless battles large and small, and slaying countless cultivators and demonic beasts. His original murderous aura was already extremely strong, enough to make cultivators of the same level tremble in fear.

It was entirely thanks to this "Evil-Absorbing Bead" that he was able to maintain a clear mind and remain unaffected by the evil energy, absorbing and transforming it day and night.

However, in this battle on Biling Island, he alone slaughtered more than a million demonic beasts!

Among them are many mid-to-high-level beings with considerable intelligence.

Such a heinous massacre, the sheer density, intensity, and complexity of the murderous aura generated in an instant, was utterly astonishing!

Even though the "Absorbing Evil Bead" is a rare treasure of the evil path, it is already overburdened. The bead is covered with evil energy patterns that cannot be refined, and there are faint signs of it going out of control.

It would probably take this bead several years, or even longer, to completely absorb, transform, and calm these malevolent energies.

Zhou Yuan frowned slightly as he looked at the "eyeball" in his hand that seemed ready to "open" at any moment, then relaxed.

He carefully put the Absorbing Pearl back close to his body and gently nurtured it with his own pure magical power to help it refine.

"Although the malevolent energy is strong, it is also part of one's strength. As long as one's will is firm and one's magic weapon is effective, there will be no major problems."

Zhou Yuan remained calm.

He cultivates the Great Evolution Technique, possesses a powerful divine sense and a stable Dao heart, and has a treasure like the Absorbing Evil Pearl, so he is not too worried about the backlash of evil energy.

However, there has been far too much bloodshed, and it will take some time to process it.

After dealing with the matter of the Absorbing Evil Pearl, Zhou Yuan turned around, his gaze sweeping over the Tianhen Old Monster, Nanlong Marquis, Linghu Ancestor, Yuan Yao, Xue Ye, as well as the Liefeng Beast, Lei Zhen, and others gathered behind him, a smile appearing on his face.

"Alright, this matter is settled. With the defenses reinforced, we should be safe for the time being."

Zhou Yuan spoke slowly, his tone calm yet carrying an undeniable determination, "I should also go find that Azure Feathered Roc and settle this score properly."

"Zhou Lang, are you going to the Feathered Clan's lair?"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Yao's pretty face changed slightly. She stepped forward, her beautiful eyes filled with worry, "That Azure Feathered Roc is, after all, a level ten great demon. Its lair must have been established for many years, and it must have countless demonic beasts—"

"Sister Yao, there's no need to worry." Zhou Yuan interrupted her, his gaze gentle yet firm. "This time, I can go alone. Too many people will only alert them. I know what I'm doing."

"Senior brother, that Azure Feathered Roc is cunning and ferocious; its lair must be a den of dragons and tigers. It would be far too risky for you to go alone!"

Tianhen the Old Monster also advised in a deep voice.

Marquis Nanlong and Old Ancestor Linghu nodded in agreement, their faces full of disapproval.

They had witnessed the strength of the Azure Feathered Roc. Even though it was defeated by Zhou Yuan, it was by no means an easy opponent, let alone on its home turf.

A hint of worry flickered in Xue Ye's usually cold eyes, but she understood Zhou Yuan's character and knew that once he made a decision, it was difficult to change it. She simply said softly, "Brother Zhou, be careful in everything. If things become unbearable, retreat immediately and reconsider. Safety first."

"Fellow disciples, Xueye, Yaomei, I understand your concerns."

Zhou Yuan gave everyone a reassuring look, his tone still calm, "However, after this battle, the Azure Feather Spirit Roc will surely be severely injured and its spirit defeated. This is the time when it is at its weakest and most vulnerable."

"My purpose in going there is not to launch a direct assault, but to find an opportunity to decapitate him. If we can eliminate this fiend in one fell swoop, the Feather Clan will be thrown into chaos, and Azure Spirit Island will be safe and sound for the next few decades, or even a hundred years. Such a golden opportunity cannot be missed."

He paused, a cold glint flashing in his eyes: "Besides, it's time to settle the score between him and me. I can't keep waiting for him to come back for revenge."

Seeing Zhou Yuan's resolute attitude, sound reasoning, and confident demeanor, the others knew that further persuasion would be futile.

Tianhen the Old Monster and Nanlong Marquis exchanged a glance, and could only solemnly admonish, "Senior Brother (Brother Zhou), please be careful! If things go wrong, return immediately, and do not act recklessly!"

"Don't worry, I have my own plans."

Zhou Yuan nodded, said no more, and gave Yuan Yao and Xue Ye a reassuring look. Then, his figure flickered and he transformed into a pale golden light, soaring into the sky. He pierced through the barrier light above the island, determined his direction, and sped eastward, disappearing into the horizon in the blink of an eye.

A month later.

Deep in the vast ocean beyond the chaotic stars, in an unfamiliar sea area countless miles away from Biling Island.

A massive island, like a colossal beast crouching on the azure sea, appeared at the edge of Zhou Yuan's vision.

-

This island is so vast that it is no less than Biling Island. Its terrain is even more rugged, with towering peaks and strange rocks, ancient trees reaching for the sky, and a rich mixture of spiritual and demonic energy, forming a unique ecosystem.

In the sky, all kinds of birds with beautiful plumage can be seen flying and circling everywhere, their calls rising and falling, making it a veritable "kingdom of birds".

This is the lair of the Azure Feather Spirit Roc, which Zhou Yuan discovered by searching the soul of the Blue-winged Demon!

Zhou Yuan stopped his escape light hundreds of miles away from the island, concealing all his aura, and quietly approached the island like a wisp of dust blending into the sea breeze.

His powerful divine sense had already spread out silently, like an invisible spider web, enveloping the island.

The outer perimeter of the island is home to countless low-level birds, ranging from level one to level five, and there are many different species.

However, for Zhou Yuan, who had cultivated the Great Evolution Technique to the sixth level and whose spiritual power was comparable to the early stage of the Nascent Soul stage, these low-level demonic beasts had no way of discovering his whereabouts.

Like a ghost, he moved swiftly through the shadows of the forest and rocks, avoiding several dangerous places where high-level demonic beasts might be lurking, and stealthily made his way straight to the central area of ​​the island.

As they ventured deeper, the spiritual energy on the island became increasingly abundant, and the demonic energy grew even stronger and purer.

Zhou Yuan sensed with his divine sense that in the center of the island, there was an extremely powerful demonic aura, carrying the meaning of wind and thunder, which was the Azure Feather Spirit Roc!

Not far from it, there was another demonic aura that had reached the eighth level, which should be a transformed great demon under its control.

Besides, there seemed to be no other transformed demon cultivators on the island. It is likely that Bi Yu Ling Peng suffered a crushing defeat and lost a lot. His other transformed demons may have returned to their respective territories to recuperate or were on guard outside.

"With only one level-eight demon cultivator by my side—an opportunity!"

A glint flashed in Zhou Yuan's eyes. Without further hesitation, he flapped his Wind and Thunder Wings and quietly unleashed his Thunder Escape Technique. His figure transformed into an almost invisible pale golden lightning bolt, shooting towards the most powerful source of demonic energy in the center of the island at an astonishing speed!

A distance of a hundred miles wouldn't hold much appeal for Zhou Yuan for long.

At the heart of the island, there is not an ordinary mountain peak, but an unimaginably huge, emerald green ancient tree!

It was that "Jade Ironwood"! This tree was thousands of feet tall, with a trunk as thick as a mountain, and its canopy spread out, blocking out the sun and exuding an ancient and majestic aura.

On the trunk of the giant tree, about a hundred feet above the ground, a huge tree hole, hidden by natural vines and aerial roots, is faintly visible. There is a faint spiritual light flickering at the entrance of the hole, which is obviously the entrance to the cave.

Zhou Yuan's divine sense had already clearly "seen" the aura of the Azure Feathered Roc in that tree hole.

Another level-eight demonic aura was found in a smaller cave near the roots of the giant tree.

Just as Zhou Yuan's divine sense was about to probe deep into the tree hollow—

"Buzz—!"

Inside the tree hollow, the immense demonic energy suddenly fluctuated violently!

A beam of emerald light shot out from the cave like lightning, hovering in mid-air in front of the tree cave, revealing the handsome and delicate face of the Azure Feathered Roc, which was now filled with shock and anger!

"How dare you! You dare to spy on my lair and even deliver yourself to my doorstep!"

The Azure-feathered Roc's eyes blazed with fury as it stared intently at a spot in the forest below. Its voice was filled with rage, but if one listened carefully, one could detect a subtle hint of apprehension.

He was indeed both shocked and furious.

What shocked him was that Zhou Yuan dared to venture alone deep into the heart of the demon realm and storm his lair! What arrogance and confidence! What enraged him was that, as a level ten great demon and the patriarch of the Feathered Clan, he had been so humiliated by a human cultivator!

But more than anything, it was a sense of unease and danger that came from the depths of my soul.

He suffered two crushing defeats in his battles against Zhou Yuan, especially in the first encounter, where he would have perished had it not been for the substitute puppet.

The other party must have something to rely on to come to our door now!

"Men! Kill this ignorant human!" The Azure Feather Spirit Roc roared, its voice echoing throughout the entire Azure Feather Island.

At his command, a dark shadow shot into the sky from the cave at the base of the giant tree, transforming into a creature with black fleshy wings on its back.

The level eight demon cultivator, with a ferocious expression, roared and pounced towards the direction where Zhou Yuan was hiding.

At the same time, countless sharp bird cries rang out from all over the island. Dense swarms of low-level birds, like an army receiving orders, poured out of the mountains, caves, and nests, turning into clouds of birds that blotted out the sun and swooped down toward Zhou Yuan's location!

A demonic aura filled the sky, its power terrifying!

However, after giving the order, the Azure Feathered Roc did not lead the charge or sit in command like a typical leader. Instead, it suddenly flapped its emerald wings, stirring up a violent gale, and shot off like an arrow in the opposite direction from Zhou Yuan—to the vast sea outside the island—without looking back!

They actually—just ran away!

He threw all his pride as a clan leader and his status as a level ten demon to the back of his mind in the face of life-or-death crisis!

He knew Zhou Yuan's terror all too well, especially his unpredictable spiritual attacks and seemingly limitless magical power.

Although we have the advantage of location in our own stronghold, the fact that the other side dared to come means they must have made preparations.

Rather than fighting head-on, where the outcome is uncertain and there's even the possibility of another defeat, it's better to temporarily evade the attack and save our lives first! As for face? We already lost it all in the last crushing defeat, so what's one more time?

"Trying to run away?"

Zhou Yuan snorted coldly, stepped out from his hiding place, and remained expressionless as he faced the black-winged demon cultivators and the swarm of birds flying in the sky.

"Tianjue, go and entangle that black bird."

A flash of light appeared on the spirit beast pouch at his waist, and the dark golden, burly body of the Heavenly Demon Corpse crashed to the ground, letting out a silent roar. Its corpse aura surged and shot into the sky like a cannonball, fearlessly meeting the oncoming level eight black-winged demon cultivator!

The demonic corpse possesses a powerful and immense physical body, and its corpse poison is potent enough to entangle a demon cultivator of the same level.

Zhou Yuan himself didn't even glance at the low-level flying birds that were swooping down and blotting out the sky; instead, his wind and thunder wings shone brightly with lightning!

"Crackling sound—!"

With a thunderous roar, Zhou Yuan's figure vanished from his original spot and appeared a thousand feet in the sky, blocking the escape route of the Azure Feather Spirit Roc!

The Thunder Wings' lightning escape technique is in no way inferior to the Azure Feather Spirit Roc, a level ten demonic bird known for its speed, in terms of short-range burst speed!

When the Azure-feathered Roc saw that its path was blocked, a hint of panic and ruthlessness flashed in its eyes, knowing that things would not end well today.

He let out a sharp cry and stopped fleeing. His figure blurred, and a bright green light shone from his body!

"Hey——!"

A bird's cry that could pierce through gold and split rocks resounded throughout the heavens and earth! The body of the Azure-feathered Roc rapidly expanded and deformed as if inflated!

In the blink of an eye, a giant bird with a body length of over three hundred feet, a wingspan of five hundred feet, and its entire body covered with magnificent emerald green feathers, each feather seemingly carved from jade, with edges shimmering with a metallic cold light, appeared in the sky, majestic and extraordinary yet exuding a terrifying demonic aura!

It is its true form, the Azure Feather Spirit Roc!

Revealing his true form, his demonic power doubles, and his innate supernatural abilities can be unleashed to their fullest potential!

Wind Release: Conceal Your Form!

The Azure Feathered Roc flapped its enormous wings, not to fly forward, but to create two gentle yet wide-ranging azure whirlwinds that instantly enveloped its massive body!

The next moment, a gale howled, and the huge figure of the Azure Feathered Roc quickly faded and blurred, like a reflection in the water, as if it had merged into the surrounding gale. Its aura also became erratic and elusive!

This is one of his life-saving techniques: using the power of the wind to conceal his presence and move with the wind, making it extremely difficult for ordinary cultivators to pinpoint his true location.

"A trivial skill."

Zhou Yuan's expression remained calm, but a faint golden light of divine sense flickered in his eyes. This terrifying divine sense, comparable to that of an early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, was like the most sophisticated radar, instantly scanning every wisp of wind and every fluctuation of demonic energy in front of him.

"I've found you."

With a thought, he gently touched a seemingly empty space to his left front with his right index finger.

"The Twelve Stabs of the Divine Court!"

Twelve invisible and intangible, yet extremely sharp and refined pale golden divine consciousness spikes ignored the barriers of space and the concealment of wind escape, instantly disappearing into that void!

"ah-!!!"

A piercing scream, unlike any bird's cry, that seemed to reach the very soul, erupted from the void! The enormous, already nearly transparent figure of the Azure Feathered Roc twisted violently and became visible!

Its enormous emerald eyes were filled with endless pain, fear, and disbelief! Zhou Yuan's spiritual attack was stronger, sharper, and more unpredictable than the last time they fought! Even though it revealed its true form and its demonic soul was powerful, it still suffered unprecedented damage under this terrifying secret technique that specifically targeted the soul, and its consciousness experienced a momentary blankness and a tearing sensation!

Just as the Azure Feathered Roc was experiencing excruciating pain in its soul, its demonic power dissipated, its wind escape technique was broken, and its form appeared, freezing in mid-air, "Whoosh whoosh whoosh—!"

Three long-awaited golden sword lights suddenly shot out from Zhou Yuan's body; they were the three Azure Bamboo Bee Cloud Swords!

The sword light did not pierce straight through, but rather seemed to possess a life of its own, drawing three beautiful yet deadly arcs in the air, carrying destructive exorcising divine thunder and Geng metal energy, instantly slicing across the neck of the Azure Feathered Roc, which was raised high in pain!

"Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!"

The sound of a sharp blade slicing through tough feathers and bone was clearly audible. Three streaks of blood simultaneously appeared on the long, graceful neck of the Azure Feathered Roc!

The next moment, a huge bird head, as big as a small mountain, covered with gorgeous green feathers, and bearing a look of terror and pain, separated from the body and soared into the sky!

The emerald green demon blood, like a waterfall bursting its banks, gushed out from the severed neck of the headless creature, staining the vast forests and sky below red!

The level 10 demon, Azure Feather Spirit Roc, was beheaded!

However, the moment the bird's head took flight, a demonic soul, only the size of a fist, yet incredibly condensed, with a jade-green body and a faint, struggling phantom of a miniature roc within it, fled hastily from the headless corpse!

In the mouth of this demon soul, there was actually a tenth-level demon core, the size of a dragon eye, shimmering with emerald light and exuding a vast and pure demonic power and wind spirit aura!

It glared at Zhou Yuan with resentment, then tried to use some kind of secret technique to escape.

"Still trying to leave?"

Zhou Yuan was prepared and reached out with his left hand, grabbing at the air.

"ban!"

A massive, house-sized, clearly patterned azure hand, formed entirely from pure magical power, appeared out of thin air. Its five fingers, like a cage, instantly closed, firmly imprisoning the emerald demon soul, along with the demon core in its mouth, within its palm! The demon soul struggled within, flashing with emerald light and emitting a silent, venomous shriek, but it could not budge the azure hand in the slightest.

"A level 10 demon soul, a level 10 demon core—and these materials."

Looking at the imprisoned demon soul in his palm, and then at the massive, headless corpse of the Azure Feathered Roc that was falling to the ground, a satisfied smile finally appeared on Zhou Yuan's face. "This time, it wasn't a wasted trip."

With a thought, a flash of blue light appeared behind him, and a small object, only a foot long, emerald green in color, and resembling an ordinary bamboo tube, flew out. It was the magical treasure of the cave where the soul of the Great Evolution Divine Lord resided—the Cave Blessing Heaven!

This treasure contains a vast space, enough to hold the materials from this monster's enormous body!

Zhou Yuan pointed at the falling corpse of the Azure Feathered Roc, and a soft blue light emanated from the mouth of the Cave Blessing Heaven, enveloping the massive corpse.

With a flash of blue light, the mountain-sized corpse rapidly shrank and was absorbed into the Cave of Blessings.

With the fall of the Azure Feather Roc and the capture of its soul, an indescribable sense of sorrow and panic instantly permeated the entire Azure Feather Island.

The level eight black-winged demon cultivator who was fighting fiercely with the Heavenly Demon Corpse felt the complete disappearance of the clan leader's aura and the sorrowful feeling. He let out a desperate howl, his mind in chaos. The Heavenly Demon Corpse seized the opportunity, tearing through the protective demonic light with a claw. Then, he was invaded by the corpse poison and quickly fell into a disadvantageous position, facing constant danger.

Throughout the island, the low-level birds that were still circling and trying to find their enemies seemed to have lost their leader, emitting chaotic and uneasy cries, and many began to scatter and flee.

After dealing with the corpse of the Azure Feathered Roc, Zhou Yuan turned his attention to the battle between the Black-Winged Demon Cultivators. In a flash, he appeared near the battle.

"it's over."

He pointed his fingers like a sword, and the flying sword shot out at will. Combined with the fierce attack of the Heavenly Demon Corpse, it instantly pierced through the head of the Black-winged Demon Cultivator.

He then used his cyan hand again to capture the demon soul and demon core together.

Having done all this, Zhou Yuan did not linger. He recalled the Heavenly Demon Corpse and put it away along with Dong Futian.

He took one last look at this "Kingdom of Birds," plunged into grief and chaos by the fall of the Azure-feathered Roc, his eyes devoid of joy or sorrow.

"I believe that before long, the news that I killed the Azure Feather Spirit Roc in its lair will spread like wildfire throughout the entire alien sea demon race, and may even reach the ears of the human forces in the inner star sea."

Zhou Yuan muttered to himself, a cold smile curving his lips.

"It's time to stir up the waters of this chaotic star sea even more."

As soon as he finished speaking, his Wind and Thunder Wings flashed with lightning again, and his figure transformed into a golden-blue rainbow, breaking through the clouds and speeding towards the direction of Biling Island. He quickly disappeared into the horizon.

On Biyu Island, only countless mournful birds and a devastated battlefield remain.

And the slowly spreading, mournful aura of a fallen level ten demon.
