Chapter 270: Wings that Cover the Sky

Chapter 270: Wings that Cover the Sky

There’s a word called “insignificant,” which Zhanyue had always understood. For instance, humans are insignificant when facing the boundless sea or the brilliant starry sky. However, the enormous bird before him, blocking out the sky and sun, gave Zhanyue the same feeling, even robbing him of the courage to resist, as everything seemed futile.

He and Baizhi stood dumbfounded on the Ink Sea, neither attacking nor fleeing, just staring blankly. They didn’t even know if the thunder bird, being so massive, would notice two insects like them. In fact, they could feel a powerful force pressing down on them, undoubtedly the thunder bird’s gaze. Just its eyes could make them lose the ability to move or even think. It was not a creature of the same dimension or power level. The giant bird was like the sun, causing them to close their eyes directly.

A golden figure suddenly landed behind the two. The woman had long, wavy golden hair and a perfect figure, much taller than Zhanyue’s real body, with an impressive bust. But what caught attention wasn’t her looks or figure, but her mysterious background and strength. Her beautiful eyes were hidden behind sunglasses as she looked at the giant bird, a hint of disdain on her lips.

She gently patted the two, bringing them back to their senses, and gave each of them a pair of sunglasses.

“Oh my, these two little ones really haven’t seen much of the world, even this fictional thunder bird scared you like this. You should know that humans are the lords of all creatures. The human race that once dominated the universe killed countless star beasts larger than suns. This thunder bird is child’s play compared to them. Are you two up for this...?”

The woman laughed, then walked in front of them. Instantly, Zhanyue and Baizhi felt no pressure at all.

“Th-thank you...” Zhanyue, having come to his senses, hurriedly thanked her. Was this monster really what Baizhi’s mission required them to face? Wasn’t this a joke? Had the Heavenly Book world’s calculations really gone wrong?

“Zhanyue... can we win?” Baizhi put on the sunglasses, allowing her to look directly at the giant bird in the distance. She swallowed hard, expressing doubt. Even with this mysterious woman protecting them, the pressure from this thunder bird was truly terrifying.

The thunder bird looked warily at the woman, opening its mouth to let out a piercing cry. Terrifying lightning accompanied the cry, falling from the sky. Thousands of lightning bolts, like threads, connected the sky and the earth.

In another world, in the underground tomb, Yunyao still sat like a beautiful statue, the most beautiful sculpture in the world. Though cold, she was truly beautiful. At this moment, she was still focused on improving her eye technique, completely unaware of everything Zhanyue’s avatar was experiencing in another world.

Zhanyue opened his eyes, looking at this cold and proud woman sitting not far away. “Later, perhaps I can give you a surprise.”

As the thunder bird’s attack approached, the woman named ‘Lei Ying’ waved her hand again. The cherry blossoms that had grown on the lightning cherry tree all left their branches and floated towards the sky. Each “delicate” cherry blossom precisely hit a falling feather in the sky. The mountain-like feathers were directly ignited, turning into points of light, creating a spectacular scene of light feathers filling the sky. The thunder bird’s technique was once again easily neutralized by the woman. Such an exchange of attacks was unimaginable even in the Myriad Spirits Realm. The academy and several surrounding cities could probably be reduced to ruins by one move from the thunder bird. No wonder the woman said this was a battle not belonging to this era.

The thunder bird was truly angered. It was wary of the woman, but she had provoked it in its own lair. Did it have to move house? It opened its beak, spewing out purple divine lightning. Compared to the previous golden lightning, this purple divine lightning seemed even more terrifying, like a purple star falling towards Lei Ying. It wanted to destroy that lightning cherry tree.

“Be careful, this purple extreme divine lightning is real, not fictional. It should be a gift left for you by that little Void,” the woman suddenly said.

“Gift?” Zhanyue and Baizhi were stunned. Was there such a gift? Wouldn’t this leave them nothing but bones?

“That’s it!” Zhanyue suddenly realized, finally remembering what the ultimate purpose of this journey was. Baizhi didn’t know, but how could he not?

“Girl, quickly throw your contract medicine cauldron over there, let it collide with that so-called purple extreme divine lightning,” Zhanyue hurriedly said.
