NOVPUBShi Shaoshuo’s tone was quite serious, which indicated that he knew something.
"Chief Shi, is there something different about this crow?" Da Zhi, a monk, asked from the side.
He had never heard of the World-Ending Dark Night Crow, and thus his curiosity was piqued.
"This World-Ending Dark Night Crow represents ominous beasts; it is said that each time it appears, it brings calamity," Shi Shaoshuo explained. "Long ago, when my Stone Race settled here, we had a World-Ending Dark Night Crow living among us.
It brought countless disasters to this land, and even a group of our Clan Elders couldn’t handle it.
Later, it was only when a powerful being from the Heavenly Dao Academy came that it was slain.
Unexpectedly, Yu Shaoqing’s True Fate is this ominous beast."
As everyone knows, the condensation of True Fate requires a reference.
It could be any flower or grass in the world, but definitely not something arbitrarily imagined by people.
...
At this moment, the center of the battlefield was enveloped by dark energy.
The clouds overhead grew denser, foretelling a storm approaching. 𝘯𝑜𝘷𝘱𝘶𝘣.𝘤𝘰𝑚
In this gloomy weather, a gigantic crow opened its murky eyes.
It stared at Xu Zimei as if looking at a dead man, quietly observing.
A few black feathers fluttered gently to the ground with the breeze.
Yu Shaoqing looked at Xu Zimei, without uttering a word.
Suddenly, accompanied by a sharp, piercing cry that resounded through the skies,
Everyone present felt their Divine Souls tremble, their hearts stopped for a moment, each shrouded in a layer of ill omen.
The World-Ending Dark Night Crow’s massive body skimmed the boundless heavens, its claws—many times harder than steel—reached directly for Xu Zimei.
Xu Zimei frowned slightly, gripping Tyrant Shadow to confront the attack head-on.
With a "bang," sparks flew, shattering the surrounding space.
The diving force of the World-Ending Dark Night Crow’s attack knocked Xu Zimei back several meters.
Following that, it opened its mouth, unleashing a Torrent of Darkness with overwhelming momentum.
Xu Zimei quickly pulled out Tyrant Shadow to block in front of him.
But the formidable force still knocked him backward.
"Goo, goo, goo," the World-Ending Dark Night Crow floated in mid-air, watching the direction Xu Zimei was knocked flying.
Xu Zimei steadied himself, watching the opponent with keen interest.
He looked down at his arms; the areas that had just made contact with the World-Ending Dark Night Crow were now being corroded by dark energy.
This dark energy surged within him, seeming to want to devour him entirely.
"Interesting."
Seeing that Xu Zimei wasn’t severely injured, the World-Ending Dark Night Crow roared again.
Its huge form transformed into a black stream of light, piercing through the silent void and charging at Xu Zimei.
And it was not just fast.
It seemed like literal streaming light, with a speed unprecedented.
As it charged, centered around Xu Zimei, his surroundings became filled with afterimages of the World-Ending Dark Night Crow.
Countless afterimages, like numerous World-Ending Dark Night Crows, attacked from every direction.
Xu Zimei didn’t even have time to react.
He only felt attacks raining down on him, enveloping his entire body.
A booming explosion resounded at the center of the battle.
As the void exploded, Xu Zimei’s figure was once again blown away.
The shattered space began to slowly repair itself,
But those below were watching with their mouths agape.
"What kind of monster is this?" someone murmured to themselves.
"The World-Ending Dark Night Crow is a very powerful Monster Beast; many Divine Beasts dare not provoke it," Shi Shaoshuo said in a low voice.
"What happened, so fierce before and now silent?"
Yu Shaoqing’s laughter came from behind.
Xu Zimei slightly grinned and stood up from the ground.
He rubbed his neck and replied, "I just wanted to test the Monster Beast’s attack since it’s my first time seeing one."
Seeing Xu Zimei’s relaxed expression, Yu Shaoqing frowned.
"This guy, after the battle just now, is completely unscathed?"
Yu Shaoqing felt a surge of fear, wondering if such attacks couldn’t even harm Xu Zimei.
Then his defense must have reached an incredibly strong level.
"Kill," Yu Shaoqing ordered again.
His tone was thick with murderous intent.
The World-Ending Dark Night Crow opened its mouth again, a Torrent of Darkness destroying everything in its path as it rushed towards Xu Zimei.
Xu Zimei neither dodged nor avoided, letting the Torrent crash against him.
"Could you put in a bit more effort," Xu Zimei said with a light chuckle.
The Power Vortex within him was slowly rotating, Shaking Heaven Power spreading around him.
The Torrent of Darkness couldn’t push him back at all.
And the encroaching shadowy aura was completely blocked out by him.
Yu Shaoqing took a deep breath, swiping his right hand.
The World-Ending Dark Night Crow once again swept through the space, splitting into countless shadows.
Attacking from all directions.
"Using the same method twice, how boring," Xu Zimei chuckled.
Looking at the flickering shadows around him, Xu Zimei’s gaze suddenly changed, as if light was flashing through his eyes.
He stretched out his hands toward the air and grabbed.
With a sharp scream, the World-Ending Dark Night Crow, that had transformed into many shadows within the space, was directly caught in his hand.
"How could this be," Yu Shaoqing’s face was filled with shock.
He was well aware of his True Fate’s speed.
Let alone catching it, even ordinary Stepping into Immortality fighters couldn’t see its flight path clearly.
He hurriedly tried to make the World-Ending Dark Night Crow struggle free.
But it was all in vain.
Xu Zimei gripped its neck, holding the World-Ending Dark Night Crow in his palm.
He grinned and with one hand, grabbed the left wing of the World-Ending Dark Night Crow.
He actually tore it off alive.
Amid the World-Ending Dark Night Crow’s miserable screams, Yu Shaoqing spat out fresh blood.
This was his True Fate; tearing the World-Ending Dark Night Crow also meant tearing his own True Fate.
"Stop," Yu Shaoqing shouted.
But Xu Zimei did not stop, immediately grabbing the right wing and tearing it off as well.
Yu Shaoqing let out another chilling scream, collapsing onto the ground, nearly breathless.
"Wait," someone from the Feather Clan couldn’t stand to watch.
Chief Yu Feihuang of the Feather Clan quickly extended his hands to intervene.
"What? Are you going to intervene?" Xu Zimei asked with a smile.
"Let him go, we admit defeat," Yu Feihuang said with an awkward expression.
"That’s not very good," Xu Zimei laughed.
"Didn’t we agree on a fight to the death? Is there such a thing as surrendering halfway through?"
Behind him, Shi Shaoshuo was also visibly angry.
He shouted, "Does your Feather Clan intend to break the rules?"
However, Chief Yu Feihuang completely ignored Shi Shaoshuo.
Instead, he continued looking at Xu Zimei and said, "Young man, always leave some leeway in your actions, there’s no need to push to a dead end.
You still have a bright future ahead."
"A dead end?" Xu Zimei looked up and grinned.
"Seeking death."
