Chapter 1126: Chapter 1032: Divine Power
The two devil beasts continued their ferocious battle, shattering the surroundings, forcing Li Zhirui to cautiously distance himself from the battlefield to avoid being affected.
Soon, Li Zhirui changed his previous opinion; the Golden Eagle wasn’t unaware of the wolf devil’s scheme, but seemed to be intentionally playing along, likely plotting against the other as well.
Roar!
The wolf devil, badly beaten and breathing its last, collapsed on the ground. Seeing this, the Golden Eagle immediately rushed over, intending to deliver the final blow. A glint flashed in the wolf devil’s eyes, and as the Golden Eagle entered its striking range, a ghostly blue wolf spirit burst forth towards the Golden Eagle.
Screech!
After being struck, the Golden Eagle let out a piercing wail.
"Hahaha, die!"
The wolf devil laughed wildly as its seemingly severe wounds miraculously healed in a matter of breaths!
But in the next instant, the wolf devil’s expression froze, and it looked on in disbelief at the scene unfolding before it.
The Golden Eagle, which had been bitten by the wolf spirit, suddenly turned into a glittering golden feather with a flash of light.
Spurt—
Several silent Wind Blades struck from behind and the sides of the wolf devil. Had it not for a spur-of-the-moment warning that led it to barely manage to invoke a Defense Divine Ability, that strike alone could have slain the wolf devil!
Even so, several deep wounds appeared on the wolf devil’s body, and its fur was quickly stained with blood, making it look like a Blood Wolf.
"What a pity."
The Golden Eagle, now appearing behind the wolf devil, spoke with a tone of regret, "But no matter, you’ll soon be free from pain."
’Substitution Technique!’
Li Zhirui, lurking from afar, noticed the technique used by the Golden Eagle and wondered if he might learn this technique from the Golden Eagle?
The Spells and Divine Powers employed by the human race and Devil Race may seem very different, but their roots are the same, learned through comprehending the Laws of The Great Tao.
Li Zhirui was confident that once he learned this Substitution Technique from the Golden Eagle, he could transform it into a Divine Power that cultivators could wield!
The timing, however, was uncertain since the physiological differences between the Devil Race and the human race were significant.
Though the Substitution Technique wasn’t of crucial importance to Li Zhirui since he had a safer space to protect his life, it was extremely necessary for other members of the Li family!
With the right timing, it could really provide a slim chance for survival in desperate situations.
Moreover, this Substitution Technique had no flaws!
At least in Li Zhirui’s eyes, when the Golden Eagle used the technique earlier, even though he knew it had something up its sleeve and was puzzled about how it could get caught by the wolf devil, he still sensed nothing amiss.
Perhaps a Mahayana or Tribulation-Transcending Cultivator could notice something wrong, but at least to an Integration Cultivator, it seemed flawless and that in itself, was quite impressive.
As Li Zhirui was about to make a move to capture the Golden Eagle alive, the wolf devil was already at death’s door, appearing as though it would die at any moment.
At this time, the Golden Eagle, instead of hurrying, soared in the skies, occasionally casting Divine Powers, seemingly planning to slowly grind the wolf devil to death.
"As long as you let me go, I’ll tell you the location of the Bloodline Fruit," the wolf devil hastily shouted, fearing the Golden Eagle would kill it in the next moment.
The Golden Eagle stopped casting and questioned, "How do I know if you’re telling the truth or not?"
"I can swear by the Great Tao!"
The wolf devil pleaded, "And if you need help in the future, as long as it doesn’t threaten my life, I am willing to assist!"
The Golden Eagle’s expression showed a hint of hesitation and did not attack the wolf devil again, but simply restrained it.
No wonder it was tempted; for devil beasts, upgrading their bloodline is not an easy task. The higher the Cultivation, the more difficult it becomes, and the importance of bloodline is self-evident.
Bloodline Fruits are extremely rare and precious Spirit Fruits that can directly upgrade the bloodline of devil beasts below the Individual Immortal Realm by one level!
Thus, each time a Bloodline Fruit appears, as long as a whiff of news leaks, it will create a bloodbath among the Devil Race.
Li Zhirui, observing from the side, could clearly see that the wolf devil was likely buying time for itself.
About a quarter of an hour later, the Golden Eagle made up its mind. Coldness filled its eyes as it said, "As long as I capture you, I will eventually know the location of the Bloodline Fruit!"
Having said that, it prepared to capture the wolf devil alive.
Regrettably, that quarter of an hour gave the wolf devil a chance to escape.
The wolf devil suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, using all its Mana to tear apart the Divine Power binding it, leaping into a nearby shadow among the trees, disappearing instantly like a fish into the sea.
Li Zhirui’s eyes lit up; if he wasn’t mistaken, that was a special Escape Skill Divine Power, utilizing shadows to evade. Unfortunately, the wolf devil got away, or else he had hoped to take that technique for himself.
"Aaaah!"
Watching the wolf devil escape, the Golden Eagle was furious, its eyes flaming with rage, flapping its wings and causing violent winds, wrecking havoc in the mountains.
Li Zhirui seized the opportunity just right, not hesitating to make a move, casting a Spirit Seed that instantly turned into a vast heavenly net, attempting to trap the Golden Eagle.
At the same time, giant trees rose from the ground and under his control, quickly formed a massive dome, imprisoning the Golden Eagle within a wooden cage.
"Human! You’re courting death!"
The Golden Eagle had not expected someone to hide on the sidelines, especially after seeing it was a human race Cultivator, fury burst forth, and one after another greenish-golden Wind Blades launched toward Li Zhirui.
