The sky and land were teeming with flying Great Demons; some stood at the edge of the cliffs, while others spread their enormous wings and took to the air from the cliffside.
Ye Chen glanced at the scene and noticed that on the Eighty-fifth Peak, even the smallest Great Demon was over sixty meters tall, with wings unfurled that measured more than a hundred meters in length. Others were even larger, with wings spread to a staggering one hundred and seventy or eighty meters, with individual feathers dwarfing Ye Chen himself!
All of these were mid-tier Great Demons!
The strength of these Great Demons was comparable to a mid-stage Spirit Sea Realm powerhouse. Even many cultivators of the Spirit Sea Realm would not dare to set foot here easily, but Ye Chen had now directly entered the midst of these mid-tier Great Demons!
Just as Ye Chen stepped onto the Eighty-fifth Peak and into this mountain of Demon Beasts, the Great Demons spread across the skies discovered the sudden appearance of Ye Chen.
To be called Great Demons, their intelligence was on par with humans, and they were exceedingly astute. Seeing Ye Chen barge in, no fewer than ten Great Demons instantly shot towards him in attack, while the others also flapped their wings and roared loudly.
Ye Chen had similarly been attacked by Demon Beasts and Great Demons on the previous eighty-four Floating Peaks, so when faced with the onrush of ten plus Great Demons, he was not the least bit flustered.
His body surged with Gang Yuan True Qi, which enveloped him completely.
The roiling Gang Yuan True Qi even shot up over a hundred meters high, and with the silver Wind-Thunder Wings unfurling behind him, he took to the middle of the sky.
Although Ye Chen's stature was incomparable to that of these Great Demons, standing in the void with over a hundred meters of surging silver Gang Yuan True Qi swirling around him made those Great Demons halt their attack mid-assault.
These highly intelligent Great Demons clearly realized that Ye Chen was not an easy target!
The Great Demons that stopped their assault merely stared at Ye Chen, watching his every move, but no longer taking the initiative to attack first.
If Ye Chen did not strike at them, they certainly would not provoke this human who seemed difficult to deal with!
"As expected, the higher the climb, the greater the intelligence of the Great Demons!"
Seeing that the flying Great Demons no longer attacked him, Ye Chen gave a faint smile. With a move of his figure, he began to fly around the Eighty-fifth Peak, sizing up the various Great Demons. Join the journey at m-vlempy _r.
"An eighty-meter-tall, brownish-yellow giant eagle!"
"A snow-white feather sculptor over ninety meters tall!"
"This giant oriole is even more extraordinary, with wings spread that are at least one hundred and seventy-eighty meters long!"
Under the watchful gaze of countless Great Demons, Ye Chen evaluated them all but ultimately shook his head.
Having come to the Eighty-fifth Peak, he still had not found the Great Demon he wanted to capture!
Climbing up from below, Ye Chen had long noticed that the higher he went, the more numerous and powerful the Demon Beasts were.
He had never seen a Floating Peak without a single Demon Beast!
Baffled, Ye Chen flew while covering the Eighty-sixth Floating Peak with his Divine Sense to observe, only to find that after flying over thousands of meters in the area, he didn't see a single Great Demon.
Shaking his head, Ye Chen continued to fly upward.
As a result, the Eighty-seventh Floating Peak was also devoid of any Great Demons!
This caused Ye Chen to let out an involuntary murmur of surprise.
"There were more than a hundred Great Demons gathered on the Eighty-fifth Peak, but there's not even a single one on the Eighty-sixth and Eighty-seventh Peaks!"
"Why aren't those Great Demons living on the Eighty-sixth and Eighty-seventh Peaks?"
Amidst his confusion, Ye Chen officially entered the Eighty-eighth Floating Peak.
As soon as he stepped on the Eighty-eighth Floating Peak, it was still quiet, but Ye Chen felt an extremely hot breath rushing towards him.
It's worth noting that Ye Chen's Protective True Qi was already extremely powerful at this point, so for him to feel an exceptionally hot breath means it must have been terrifyingly intense.
When Ye Chen operated his Divine Sense and flew around, sizing up the Eighty-eighth Floating Peak, he suddenly stopped in his tracks.
After passing two peaks devoid of Great Demons, Ye Chen finally saw a Great Demon again, but on the vast Eighty-eighth Floating Peak, he could only see one Great Demon.
It was a Great Demon that captured Ye Chen's gaze so entirely that he could not look away.
This Great Demon was incredibly awe-inspiring. It was a giant Fire Sparrow measuring over eighty meters in length. With its wings folded, its wingspan was unknown, but each and every one of its feathers shone a fiery red without a single speck of any other color, as beautiful as blazing flames.
At that moment, the fiery red Fire Sparrow was fast asleep, surrounded by swirls of fiery red light, emitting an exceedingly hot breath.
Obviously, the breath Ye Chen had previously sensed was emanating from this marvelous Fire Sparrow.
In the middle of this giant Fire Sparrow's forehead, there was a black flame-shaped mark, making the entirely red body of the giant Fire Sparrow appear inexplicably wondrous.
From the aura swirling around the giant Fire Sparrow's body, Ye Chen could tell that this was an incredibly awe-inspiring mid-ranking Great Demon!
Upon seeing it, Ye Chen knew that the object he wanted to capture as his mount had finally appeared!
