Free Web NovelChapter 315: Chapter 44: The Consequences of Forcing Phase 2 at Full Health
The moment the sense of danger washed over it, the Peacock Divine Bird knew something was wrong.
Years of experience fighting in the Beast God Realm had taught it that no matter the situation, it was better to retreat when sensing danger than to foolishly stand its ground. Because even a Divine Bird, once dead, stayed dead. The Peacock was not a Phoenix, not an undying bird; it couldn’t afford to make a mistake.
So, without the slightest hesitation, the bird—which just moments before had been majestically fanning its tail feathers with an imposing air—immediately folded them and prepared to retreat and defend.
But while it was fast, Su Zhou was faster.
After that sigh, specks of bluish-purple Demon Fire appeared all around Su Zhou. They circled his body like starlight, emitting a cold, clear radiance.
This was a Spirit Flame without heat, the physical manifestation of Su Zhou’s true Spiritual Power. A Divine Technique from the Evil-Devouring Demon Lord gave this Demon Fire the power to judge the good and evil within a heart. It allowed Su Zhou to clearly perceive that right here, right now, where the giant Divine Bird stood, there existed an ’extremely evil being’.
’Just what part of it is evil? I’m not familiar with the Peacock, and I have no idea what kind of bird it is on a normal day. Maybe it’s because of the conflict between the Beast God Realm and the human faction, or maybe it just has killing intent toward me. More likely, it’s just not a very good bird back in the Beast God Realm... But who cares.’ fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
Su Zhou simply gripped the Dragon Horn Long Spear in his hand, then gathered all his Spiritual Power. A vast Spiritual Light—so bright it illuminated the surrounding foothills and made the standing rocks cast long shadows—poured into the weapon, enhancing it.
POW! Bluish-purple Demon Fire erupted from thin air, transforming into a Dragon Serpent that coiled around the tip of the Demon Emperor Dragon Horn Long Spear. At the same time, an Evil Soul from the Shepherd of Spirits gathered within, forming an Attaching Spirit: the Nightmare Suppressing Shepherd Spirit.
Then, Su Zhou silently took a step forward, bending his knees slightly to gather his strength.
And then.
Using every ounce of his strength, he hurled the burning, eight-foot-long spear!
The Demon Emperor Dragon Horn Long Spear had been forged by the Grand Masters of the Divine Wood World—Grandmaster artisans capable of creating Extraordinary High-tier Divine Soldiers. Although they hadn’t had enough time to forge a new Divine Soldier, the spear was made from the remains of the King of the Demon Emperor’s Clan, making it more than capable of handling the power Su Zhou was now wielding.
As Su Zhou converted his true Spiritual Power—which he hadn’t used in a long time—into pure force for enhancement and acceleration, the hurled spear instantly broke the sound barrier.
BOOM——————
A deafening sonic boom erupted, like the blast of a heavy cannon. The tip of the long spear even ignited the air through friction with the atmosphere. Accompanied by a sharp, piercing whistle, layers of cyan Spiritual Fire spread out, forming a series of smooth rings of fire in its wake.
"What is this thing?!"
As an Extraordinary Tier being, the Peacock’s thoughts were extremely fast. It immediately understood that Su Zhou possessed a third power, aside from the Wind Thunder Power he showed on the surface. It had seen such things many times over its long life, but Su Zhou himself was hard to comprehend. ’Even if he has a third attribute, his main one should be Wind and Thunder, right? He defeated Garuda with Wind Thunder Power, so how could he possibly be hiding another main—’
But no matter how fast its thoughts, it still had to face reality. Before it could fully comprehend, the speeding spear was right before its eyes. The Peacock Divine Bird was, after all, the current king of the Feathered Race in the Beast God Realm and a veteran of countless battles. At this critical moment, it let out a furious roar—and with a surge of Spiritual Power, it formed swirling vortexes of the Five Elements in front of itself!
Active Wood, turbulent Fire, gentle Water, sharp Metal, and solid Earth—five completely different types of Spiritual Power manifested as five colorful anomalies like trees, flames, rain, metal, and rock. Finally, they converged into a large, pure white shield. The five types of Spiritual Power cycled, and under the Peacock Divine Bird’s control, they even transformed into the toughest of defenses: a Life Spiritual Shield!
This was the innate Talent of the Peacock Divine Bird. As a race born with the Five Spirits Power, it could naturally control all transformations of the Five Elements and even convert them into all sorts of strange and complex Compound Spiritual Attributes, allowing it to handle almost any situation.
But "almost any situation" did not include dealing with pure, overwhelming, brute force.
CRASH!
The pure white shield was instantly shattered by Su Zhou’s thrown spear, exploding in a wave of fire that filled the sky. But before the Peacock Divine Bird could even process the fact that its shield had been broken, something even more shocking occurred. A figure burst out, tearing through the vast Spirit Flame he himself had created. He snatched his long spear from the air, then ripped through the fiery waves and the atmosphere with a single punch. His right fist, wreathed in raging, bluish-purple Demon Fire, shot upward, crossing a hundred meters in an instant to slam into the Divine Bird’s beak!
BAM—CRACK!! Backed by the Enhancement of Spiritual Power, a pure physical impact of several hundred tons transformed into a ferocious blow comparable to a high-speed train collision. Amidst a sickening crunch, the Peacock Divine Bird’s entire colossal Demon Body was sent flying by a single Rising Dragon Fist!
A bird’s beak is its feeding organ. The Divine Bird Peacock’s beak was extremely similar to that of a Chongming Bird, both being conical in shape. It was rumored that the two species might be distantly related. This part of their body was also one of their toughest Extraordinary Organs.
However, a Peacock was not a woodpecker, after all. Its beak and neck had no shock-absorbing function.
So, when Su Zhou’s hundred-ton Rising Dragon Fist tore through the air and slammed into the underside of its beak, the violent force traveled directly through the solid keratinous structure, deforming and shattering it. The impact then shot up its spine, straight into its brain, threatening to scramble it into mush!
