The Fire Owl Lord discovered to his surprise that he couldn't lock onto the man the Raven King had called the Three-Legged Golden Crow with his level of training.
The Fire Owl Lord's hands collided with Ji Dong's descending palm amidst a deafening boom. The Fire Owl Lord's body fell from the sky like a cannonball, its arms exploding into countless pieces of flesh and blood. It had only lost its hands because it had reacted quickly enough and hadn't allowed the power of the Deicide Strike to fully enter its body.
Ji Dong's body had also floated up slightly from the impact of the Fire Owl Lord's palms, but only slightly. On the other hand, the Fire Owl Lord's body fell from the sky like a cannonball. No matter how hard it flapped its wings, it couldn't stop its descent. It landed on the ground with a deafening boom, its legs sinking to the knees. The Fire Owl Lord had been completely at a disadvantage in this exchange.
Ji Dong's magical power was only rank 82, but the Fire Owl Lord's magical power was equivalent to rank 90. Ji Dong had only used the ultimate yang fire in his attack just now, and the Fire Owl Lord's magical power was also the ultimate yang fire. So why had it suffered such a great loss? Ji Dong's magical power was clearly inferior to its!
The answer was simple, it was because of strength, physical strength.
That's right, Ji Dong's magical power was inferior to the Fire Owl Lord's, but his body was far superior to the Fire Owl Lord's. He'd completely made up for his lack of magical power with his physical strength alone. Add to that the powerful compression of the Deicide Strike, how would the Fire Owl Lord be able to withstand this blow?
It was the power of the Deicide Strike that had blasted the Fire Owl Lord's arms apart, and what had pounded it into the ground was Ji Dong's unparalleled strength, even more terrifying than that of ordinary dragons, the strength of the primordial dragon.
The ancestor of the Earth Dragons had used its own blood essence to soak Ji Dong's body, and Ji Dong's bloodline now contained its own blood. Ji Dong had not endured that pain for nothing. After that, his body had truly evolved. That's right, it had evolved. In terms of physical strength, among all the Heavenly Stem Saints, only Ajin, who also had the bloodline of the primordial dragon, could compare to him. However, in terms of physical strength, Ji Dong had already reached an extremely terrifying realm. Previously, when he faced the Fire Giant, he'd completely met force with force and even allowed the Fire Owl Lord to attack him, just to test how strong his body had become. Reality had proven that the Fire Giant's attack was no more than an itch to him. Even if the Fire Owl Lord in front of him directly attacked his body, it wouldn't be able to cause him any harm. This was the Saint-level physique, a physique that even Chen Sixuan was shocked by.
Of course, Ji Dong had no intention of letting the Fire Owl Lord go just like that. His body only paused in the air for a moment before he charged straight at the Fire Owl Lord. He was becoming more and more aware of the rules of the core world. This was a world where the strong preyed on the weak. If one wanted to have the right to speak, if one wanted to gain the respect of others, then one had to display strength that was completely above others. First, one had to use strength to conquer the opponent, then talk. This was definitely much more effective. This had already been proven by the Fire Giant.
The Fire Owl Lord, who had crashed into the ground earlier, was still in pain from the violent tremors, when Ji Dong descended from the sky and chased after it. In its panic, it also used its exclusive skill. In order to save its life, it no longer cared about holding back. A red light flashed in its single eye, and an intense purplish black light shot straight at Ji Dong. When this light shot out from its single eye, Ji Dong was shocked to find that the Fire Owl Lord had actually temporarily locked onto him.
'What kind of light is this?' Ji Dong hesitated for a moment before he raised his left hand and pressed down. At the same time, he stopped his descent and blocked that light.
There was already a piece of pitch-black ice in Ji Dong's palm. It was his ultimate skill — Netherflame Ice.
As the purplish black light landed on Ji Dong's left palm, it was immediately frozen, and Ji Dong's body also froze in the air for a moment. He only felt a needle-like aura suddenly burrowing into his body from his palm. Moreover, this needle-like mana also had a kind of tyrannical destructiveness, as well as a strong toxicity. If it was someone else who encountered such an attack, their meridians would wither wherever the energy of the needle-like mana passed through, and once that power entered their internal organs, they would definitely die.
What a vicious exclusive skill. A cold glint flashed in Ji Dong's eyes. That needle-like mana had just burrowed into his palm when it was strangled by the Ultimate Dual Fire mana.
How could the physique of an Ancestor Dragon be invaded by ordinary external forces? Even this kind of mana that was solidified by jealousy could not do it. After being soaked in the essence and blood of the Earth Dragon Ancestor, Ji Dong's body was already immune to all poisons, and this bit of poison was nothing at all. Under the strangulation of the Ultimate Dual Fire, the remaining mana immediately disappeared. Of course, the Netherflame Ice itself also froze a part of the attacking mana.
Although the exclusive skill of the Fire Owl Overlord could not cause substantial damage to Ji Dong, it did buy it enough time to escape. The remaining four arms slapped the ground at the same time, and with the help of the rebound, its body flew diagonally towards the entrance of the passage to the third floor. At the same time, it passed by its two clansmen, stretched out its hands, grabbed them, and threw them in the direction of Ji Dong at the same time. Mana was injected into the bodies of these two clansmen. As long as their bodies came into contact with Ji Dong's attack, they would immediately self-destruct. Although it was not enough to hurt Ji Dong, in the opinion of the Fire Owl Overlord, it was definitely not a problem to stop Ji Dong for a period of time.
Unfortunately, this Fire Owl Overlord had still underestimated Ji Dong. Seeing that the two Fire Owls had flown in front of him, Ji Dong's spiritual power had completely enveloped their bodies, and he was naturally very clear about their current situation. He stretched out his hands at the same time and grabbed the two panicked Fire Owls. At the same time, the Yang Fire Assimilation Array had already risen behind Ji Dong.
Ji Dong firmly grasped the arms of the two Fire Owls, but the explosion that the Fire Owl Overlord had anticipated didn't occur. The tyrannical power that it had injected into the two Fire Owls was instantly dispelled by Ji Dong's formation of assimilation. Who could compare to Ji Dong in terms of control of fire magic?
Ji Dong flung out his hands and sent the two Fire Owls flying towards the ground. The Fire Owl Overlord had made use of the buffer created by its two brethren to run to the entrance to the third level. Ji Dong was still a hundred meters away from it. In its eyes, no matter how strong Ji Dong was, he wouldn't be able to stop it from entering the passageway to the third level. As long as it could burrow into the passageway, the other wouldn't be able to find it again.
The reason why the Fire Owl Overlord had been so eager to escape was because it had sensed a strong killing intent from Ji Dong. It could also clearly sense that the three-legged golden crow that the Raven King had spoken of was something that it absolutely couldn't contend against. The pressure on its soul in particular had scared it out of its wits, and it couldn't even muster up the thought of fighting with all its might.
However, just as the Fire Owl Overlord had heaved a sigh of relief and thought that it could escape, its rapidly flying body suddenly crashed into an invisible barrier with a thump without any warning. The Fire Owl Overlord's head was spinning from the impact, and it almost spat out a mouthful of blood. It'd clearly felt that the invisible wall had disappeared after blocking it for a moment, but the violent recoil from the collision had still caused its forward speed to disappear completely, and it'd even paused for a moment.
It was the Invisible and Shadowless Wall of Destruction.
A moment of pause was sometimes an eternity. The Fire Ravens in the sky only saw a bolt of golden lightning streak across the horizon, and the Fire Owl Overlord's body was sent flying backwards. It was only when it recovered from its dizziness and struggled with all its might that it stopped flying backwards. However, a large hand had already grabbed its neck in the next moment, like an eagle grabbing a chick. The Fire Owl Overlord, already scared out of its wits, couldn't put up any resistance at all. It had lost all power to resist, just like when it'd grabbed the Raven King's neck earlier, and was lifted into the air by the neck by Ji Dong's right hand.
The battle had ended at this point. From the moment Ji Dong had launched his attack to the end, only a matter of a few breaths had passed. However, it was an incomparably shocking scene in the eyes of the Fire Ravens. Such a powerful Fire Owl Overlord hadn't even had the slightest ability to resist in front of Ji Dong, and had even disregarded the lives of its kin. However, it hadn't been able to escape Ji Dong's grasp in the end.
Ji Dong's spirit spread out as he transmitted his message into the air, allowing every Fire Raven in the sky to feel it. "The Fire Owl Overlord has attacked the Raven King of my kin without permission. Although he's an emissary of the Holy Faith, he's still guilty of offending his superiors and deserves death. The dignity of the Fire Ravens cannot be insulted by any outsider, and all of you are witnesses. From this moment on, I will not allow anyone to offend the dignity of my race."
A blinding golden red light was instantly released, bringing with it the aura of a three-legged golden crow. It made Ji Dong look like a golden red sun as he floated in the air.
The Fire Owl Overlord in Ji Dong's hands didn't even have the chance to cry out before it turned into a ball of golden flames and dissipated into the air. A fist-sized tenth level fire crystal core was the only thing that remained, and it landed in Ji Dong's left hand.
The Raven King cawed violently, his excited cries and the scene that had just taken place in front of them shaking the hearts of every Fire Raven.
Under the Raven King's lead, the Fire Raven Lord, the Fire Raven Commander, and the million Fire Ravens descended from the sky and floated to the ground. Every Fire Raven immediately prostrated themselves on the ground, spreading their wings and pressing their heads to the ground. The most reverent aura emanated from their souls, as if a million Fire Ravens were worshipping them.
Ji Dong slowly descended from the sky and floated to the ground. He looked silently at the Raven King in front of him and felt the waves of reverence from the millions of Fire Ravens. His heart couldn't help but change in that moment.
"Great Lord, please lead us and make our race even stronger." The Raven King said emotionally to Hyōhime.
Ji Dong nodded slowly and said faintly, "Let the clansmen do their own things."
"Yes." The Raven King rose with extreme respect. Ji Dong's own strength and the strength of his soul that could lead the Fire Ravens to become stronger had completely won over the Raven King. Although the Raven King's soul wasn't strong, he could clearly feel Ji Dong's goodwill towards the Fire Ravens. It didn't matter to him whether or not Ji Dong was a true three-legged golden crow. What was important was that Ji Dong could lead the Fire Ravens to become stronger. That was enough.
The Raven King dismissed his clansmen and only left the Fire Raven Lords and Fire Raven Commanders behind. The experts of the Fire Ravens had already surrounded the two Fire Owls and arrived in front of Ji Dong without needing his orders.
Normally, if these Fire Owls came to a place like the second floor, they would absolutely look down on the Fire Ravens. Although their own strength couldn't compare to the Lord of the Fire Owls, they weren't inferior to the Fire Raven King. But now, they were like frosted eggplants as they lowered their heads, bewilderment and bewilderment flickering in their single eyes. What was being released from their souls was fear.
Ji Dong's soul directly invaded the two Fire Owls' souls and forcefully communicated with them. "You saw what happened just now very clearly. If it wasn't for me, you should know what would've happened to you."
The two Fire Owls raised their heads and looked at each other before looking at Hyōhime again. Ji Dong could clearly see a look of hatred in their single eyes. This hatred was obviously directed at the Fire Owl Lord from before. They both understood that Ji Dong was speaking the truth. If it hadn't been for Ji Dong's actions just now, they would've been turned to dust by now. Not even their corpses would remain.
The two Fire Owls nodded at Hyōhime at the same time.
Ji Dong said, "Since this is the case, tell me why you've come this time and everything that happened just now. I believe that you should know how to reply to the Holy Faith when you return."
The Fire Owl on the left said, "Esteemed Three Legged Golden Crow, we know how to reply to our superiors. What happened just now was completely instigated by our Lord. He offended the Raven King and incurred the wrath of the masses. He was killed by the Three Legged Golden Crow. We will definitely report this to our superiors. "
Ji Dong nodded in satisfaction and waved his right hand. Two balls of red light flew in front of the two Fire Owls. The two Fire Owls reflexively took them and were overjoyed when they looked closely. What had landed in their hands was a level eight magical beast core.
