Chapter 215

C215 – Fight the Flaming Bird

Following a sharp cry, the fire bird burst from the magma, ascending into the sky.

A substantial amount of magma erupted in opposing directions. Just meters away from Loong Chen, it was repelled by an imperceptible force.

Suspended in mid-air, the fire bird gazed down at Loong Chen with a haughty demeanor, utilizing its keen eagle eyes.

Its regard for Loong Chen was akin to observing an ant.

“Human, was that display of divine psychokinesis your doing?”

Suddenly, the fire bird articulated in the human tongue. Its voice was neutral, concealing any discernible gender.

Loong Chen regarded the fire bird with intrigue. It marked his inaugural encounter with a Beast King. He had never conceived that upon reaching human-like stature, a Beast King not only possessed intelligence comparable to humans but also mastery of human speech.

The situation was undeniably fascinating.

Observing Loong Chen’s indifference, the fire bird’s eyes sparkled with curiosity, resembling a small creature scrutinized within a menagerie.

Instantly, the fire bird seethed with indignation, feeling slighted.

“Human, you challenge your own mortality!”

The fire bird bellowed furiously, its wings agitating as a torrent of flames surged toward Loong Chen.

“If you dare, let the confrontation commence!”

Loong Chen jolted in surprise, hastily gesturing as the magma surged, enveloping the flames.

Magma, like water, adhered to Loong Chen’s dominion over the Law of Water.

“Fascinating. Human, despite your Qi being at the King Level, you withstand my assault. It appears I have underestimated you.”

A fierce determination gleamed in the fire bird Eagle’s eyes. Having existed here for countless years, surrounded by numerous Beast Kings and even Lord Class adversaries, none had endured its strikes.

This monotony left it profoundly disinterested.

Yet now, a human capable of withstanding its blow effortlessly had emerged, adding a hint of intrigue.

“Once more, fire feathers!”

The fire bird bellowed, vigorously flapping its wings.

This time, it unleashed myriad flaming feathers, akin to arrows, hurtling toward Loong Chen.

Loong Chen emitted a derisive snort. With a wave of his hand, the trident materialized.

“Shield of the Sea!”

Loong Chen ruminated inwardly. Shortly after, the fire bird reemerged.

Yet, Loong Chen found it perplexing that the fire bird’s aura remained at its peak, as if it hadn’t sustained any injury.

It seemed as though it hadn’t been wounded at all.

“Inconceivable. There must be an explanation for this!”

Loong Chen was convinced that the fire bird had employed some method to mend its injuries.

Could it have also mastered the Law of Life, healing all injuries in such a brief span?

Loong Chen exclaimed loudly, summoning a mirror image clone beside him.

The clone laid its hand upon Loong Chen’s back, infusing him with a surge of energy.

This was the fusion technique; Loong Chen had seamlessly integrated the clone’s power, doubling his own strength.

“One Halberd Annihilation!”

A formidable energy surged within Loong Chen’s being, compelling him to expel it promptly.

Swiftly, he triggered the One Halberd Annihilation, propelling himself into the air with the trident in hand, aiming for the fire bird’s body.

The fire bird hastily folded its wings, attempting to shield itself from the impending strike.

Yet, this assault represented Loong Chen’s pinnacle technique, capable of overwhelming even a Mid Grade Beast King’s defenses.

The fire bird emitted a wretched cry as the barrier formed by its wings shattered, allowing the trident to pierce its abdomen, eliciting a gush of blood akin to a fountain.

Undoubtedly, it had been wounded—severely so.

A flicker of trepidation crossed the fire bird’s gaze before it plunged toward the magma.

“I understand your intentions.”

Loong Chen rebuffed coldly. Each time the avian creature submerged into the magma, its injuries regenerated. Clearly, the magma harbored healing properties.

Preventing its retreat into the magma became imperative.

“Time Stop!”

Employing the Law of Time, Loong Chen enveloped the fire bird’s vicinity in temporal stasis.

Instantaneously, its movements became sluggish.

Seizing both of its talons, Loong Chen exerted a forceful swing, hurtling the fire bird away until it collided with the shore.

“As anticipated, without access to the magma, your wounds won’t fully mend.”

Loong Chen’s conjecture solidified as he observed the fire bird’s aura wane steadily.
