Chapter 72: God Slaying Domain, Void Stagnation!
"Found it."
Lin Yuan activated his Double Pupils, instantly locking onto the strongest one among them.
"The one that is largest in size and has a tuft of golden feathers on its head is the leader of this flock."
"Judging by its size and spirit power fluctuations, its cultivation age is likely over eight thousand years, perhaps even close to nine thousand."
"It's perfect to be my second spirit ring!"
Xiao Wu glanced at the giant bird with a wingspan of over five meters, then looked at the two slightly smaller 'guards' beside it.
"Brother, those two guards probably have cultivation levels of around two thousand and four thousand years."
"Furthermore, they are flying Spirit Beasts and hold the advantage of high altitude. Neither of us can fly, so this is a bit tricky."
Lin Yuan nodded, his expression calm. "It is indeed a bit troublesome."
"The Soul Locking Falcon's speed is extremely fast. Once they take to the air and create distance, we'll be forced to take hits passively. Therefore, we must end this quickly!"
"Xiao Wu, I'll be responsible for attacking the eight-thousand-year leader. You take care of stalling the two smaller ones; don't let them interfere with me."
"Just give me ten seconds, and I can bring it down!"
Xiao Wu was somewhat worried. "Brother, an eight-thousand-year Spirit Beast is equivalent to an ordinary Spirit King. Are you sure?"
The corner of Lin Yuan's mouth curled into a smile. "Don't worry. If I go all out, I can unleash combat power on par with a Spirit King!"
With a thought from Lin Yuan, several metal components emitting a dark golden glow appeared out of thin air, instantly snapping onto his limbs, chest, and shoulders!
This was a complete set of one-word battle armor!
Its design was ferocious and domineering, filled with mechanical beauty and a violent Aura of slaughter!
"Boom!"
The moment the battle armor was donned, Lin Yuan's Aura surged instantly!
He was originally just a Quasi-Spirit Grandmaster who had just broken through level twenty.
Now, under the amplification of the battle armor, his spirit power fluctuations actually broke through the boundaries of a Spirit Elder, nearing the Spirit Ancestor Peak!
Lin Yuan gripped the god slaying spear in his hand. As the energy from the battle armor poured into it, the spear's shaft emitted an excited hum.
Seeing this, Xiao Wu refused to be outdone. "I won't hold you back!"
A pink-gold stream of light flashed, and a set of delicate and light battle armor covered Xiao Wu, instantly transforming her into a violent mechanical loli.
"Go!"
With a low shout from Lin Yuan, the two of them charged out of cover like two cannonballs fired from a barrel!
"Li!"
The Soul Locking Falcon leader in the air instantly spotted the intruders and let out a sharp cry.
With a flap of its wings, it dove toward Lin Yuan, bringing its two subordinates along!
That speed was so fast that it left afterimages in the air!
"Come at me!"
Facing the dive of the eight-thousand-year Spirit Beast, Lin Yuan advanced instead of retreating. "Blue Silver Emperor second Spirit Bone skill, Blessing of the Blue Silver Emperor!"
A faint blue-gold halo instantly enveloped his body. Lin Yuan felt as if he possessed endless strength.
Immediately following that, a terrifying Aura that made one's Soul tremble erupted from his body!
"God Slaying Domain! Open!"
With Lin Yuan as the center, the space within a hundred-meter radius instantly turned blood-red!
An extreme Aura of slaughter and destruction, like a tangible tide, slammed hard against the diving Soul Locking Falcon.
"Li?!"
The originally aggressive Soul Locking Falcon leader suddenly stiffened the moment it entered the Domain!
Human-like fear actually appeared in its eyes!
That extreme power of slaughter caused its speed to instantly drop by thirty percent!
"Now!"
Lin Yuan's legs bent slightly, the battle armor's thrusters erupted, and he soared into the sky!
"Void Step!"
This was exactly the movement Martial Skill he had comprehended from the second layer of the Chaos Godslaying Record.
And even more terrifyingly, he had also fused the Teleportation talent he had obtained through Binding with Xiao Wu!
The combination of the two underwent a qualitative change!
"Whoosh!"
Lin Yuan's figure vanished from the spot into thin air.
The next second.
He actually crossed a vertical distance of dozens of meters directly, appearing out of thin air in mid-air, right in front of the diving Soul Locking Falcon leader!
This sudden turn of events made the Soul Locking Falcon leader turn pale with fright. It instinctively wanted to flap its wings to ascend and avoid this bizarre human.
But it was too late!
Lin Yuan's Double Pupils suddenly lit up. "First Spirit Ability, Void Stagnation!"
After this Spirit Ability is used, it forcibly imprisons the space around the target. For targets no more than ten levels higher than himself, it provides absolute control for three seconds. For those with strength higher than his, the control time is at least one second.
Although this Soul Locking Falcon's cultivation was far higher than Lin Yuan's, with the battle armor's reinforcement, the actual gap in combat power between the two sides was not large.
Therefore, this absolute control could last for at least one second!
And in a duel between experts, one second is the difference between life and death!
"Die!"
Lin Yuan had no leverage point in the air, but the god slaying spear in his hand erupted with an unprecedented black light.
All his essence, energy, and spirit converged into a single point at this moment.
"First Spirit Ability, God Slaying Pierce!"
"Self-created Spirit Ability, Daybreak!"
Puchi!
The god slaying spear transformed into a bolt of black lightning, easily tearing through the imprisoned space and the Soul Locking Falcon's iron-hard feathers.
The tip of the spear pierced through its skull with incomparable precision!
The explosive energy attached to 'Daybreak' instantly detonated within its mind!
The Soul Locking Falcon leader didn't even have time to let out a final scream before the light in its eyes rapidly faded.
Its massive body stiffened in the air for a moment, then fell powerlessly like a kite with a broken string.
"Boom!"
A loud bang echoed as dust flew into the air.
That insufferably arrogant eight-thousand-year aerial overlord was killed in a single blow by Lin Yuan!
The entire process was as smooth as flowing water.
Lin Yuan landed steadily on the ground and deactivated his Double Pupils skill.
Although this series of moves consumed a massive amount of energy, under the recovery of the [Blessing of the Blue Silver Emperor], his spirit power was returning at an astonishing speed.
Just then, on the other side of the battlefield, the fight was also nearing its end.
"Take this! Shadowless Kick!"
Wearing her pink-gold battle armor, Xiao Wu was like a nimble butterfly on the ground.
Facing the two Soul Locking Falcons that had fallen into a brief panic due to their leader's death and were now angrily seeking revenge.
Xiao Wu did not choose to meet them head-on. She exerted force with her legs, fully activating the battle armor's amplification.
With a soft shout, she concentrated all her spirit power into her right leg, which was encased in battle armor, and then kicked out fiercely toward the sky!
Several half-moon-shaped air slashes, carrying a sharp whistling sound, hurtled toward the sky!
This was a long-range attack skill derived from the Shadowless Kick.
Of course, with Xiao Wu's current cultivation, she couldn't support many such attacks, but it was enough to stall them.
The two Soul Locking Falcons didn't expect this little girl running on the ground to be able to launch aerial attacks. Caught off guard, their wings were struck hard by the air slashes.
Feathers flew and blood splattered.
They let out a mournful cry, their bodies becoming unsteady.
They glanced at their boss lying in a pool of blood with its head blown apart, then at the human youth holding a long spear and emitting a terrifying Killing Intent.
Fear instantly overwhelmed their desire for revenge.
Spirit Beasts are also afraid of death!
"Li!"
The two Soul Locking Falcons let out a shrill cry. Enduring the pain in their wings, they flapped desperately to fly high and fled into the depths of the forest without looking back...
