Chapter 169: Peak of Venerable Rank, the Footless Bird!

"Footless Bird?"

"Seems I've seen it in an ancient text?"

Lin Potian repeated the name to himself in a low voice; the name was not unfamiliar, it seemed to be an extremely powerful and ferocious exotic beast, but he couldn't recall it for the moment...

The next moment, the horizon suddenly darkened, as if black clouds were pressing down from above!

Lin Potian looked up abruptly, only to see a deep blue giant bird that blotted out the sky and sun whistling toward him. Its wings spanned ninety thousand li; every flap carried a violent storm, its cold eyes flickering with a ghostly light like a gaze from the abyss, making one feel a chill in their heart. The roaring sound of its wings flapping was deafening, and a ghostly blue luster flowed over its feathers.

At the same time, the giant bird had no legs; it relied solely on its powerful wings to circle in the air, seemingly unable to touch the earth, destined to soar eternally in the sky!

Lin Potian looked up and stared, suddenly recalling the records in the ancient text. His eyes widened instantly, and he exclaimed: "Footless Bird, a Peak of Venerable Rank exotic beast, the darling of the heavens, and the proudest of birds. It cannot land in its entire life; to land is to die, it can only soar in solitude!"

"To think such an exotic beast actually exists!"

Originally, Lin Potian had thought the ancient text contained elements of exaggeration, but seeing it today, what was written in the ancient text was still too conservative...

That pair of great wings, when fully spread, really did span a full ninety thousand li!

It was simply enough to make one...

Drool with greed!

Gulp...

Lin Potian swallowed his saliva subconsciously.

This scene was seen by the Footless Bird, which spoke in human language, its voice cold: "Human, what is the meaning of you swallowing your saliva?"

"Nothing, I'm just a bit hungry."

As Lin Potian spoke, his eyes could not leave the Footless Bird's wings.

"Hehe, what a coincidence, I'm hungry too!"

After the Footless Bird finished speaking with a cold laugh, it shook its wings, and thousands of ice spikes shot toward Lin Potian!

"Then let's see who eats whom!"

Lin Potian let out a cold snort, his body rolling sharply in the air to dodge the ice spikes that followed him like a shadow!

However, every ice spike carried a bone-chilling wind and was incredibly fast; even though Lin Potian had mastered the Wind Thunder Shadow, he could only dodge them by a hair's breadth!

He failed to dodge once, and an ice spike grazed the corner of Lin Potian's clothing; the fabric of his Top-grade Immortal Clothing instantly froze into ice!

"The ice spikes of this Footless Bird are actually this terrifying!"

"It truly lives up to being a Peak of Venerable Rank exotic beast!"

Lin Potian felt a chill rush straight to his marrow, and he was secretly alarmed in his heart.

The Footless Bird hovered high with its wings spread, the frost condensed on its feathers flickering with a cold luster under the sunlight. It looked down at the dodging Lin Potian below, a look of contempt curling the corners of its beak, its voice like a cold wind: "Is this all the strength you have? You truly disappoint me to the extreme. I originally thought you could bring me a little amusement, but now it seems you are nothing more than an ant that cannot withstand a single blow."

Before the words had faded, the Footless Bird flapped its wings again, and instantly several more ice spikes condensed, carrying even more violent cold and speed, pointing straight at Lin Potian's heart like the arrows of death!

"Wind Thunder Finger!"

Lin Potian gave a low shout and instantly pointed out a beam of light. After shattering all the ice spikes, the Immortal God Fusion Power within his body surged violently, and he instantly unleashed the Wind Thunder Shadow, closing the distance to the Footless Bird in an instant!

Looking straight at the Footless Bird, Lin Potian was expressionless, his tone filled with disdain: "You are nothing more than this!"

As he spoke, a brilliant thunder light gathered in Lin Potian's palm, flashing and ready to pour out at any moment; he was about to strike the Footless Bird and turn everything about it into nothingness!

The Footless Bird's pupils constricted slightly, feeling the majestic aura coming from Lin Potian and the terrifying power in his palm that was enough to threaten it.

"Where the Thunder reaches, nothing shall remain!"

Lin Potian let out a low roar, the thunder light in his palm erupted suddenly, transforming into a Thunder Dragon that rushed straight toward the Footless Bird with a deafening roar!

"Is that so? Let me show you my true speed and make you recognize the gap!"

Facing the Thunder Dragon unleashed by Lin Potian, the Footless Bird suddenly laughed coldly. It flapped its wings violently, and it actually conjured countless afterimages in the air, like a rapidly spinning frost storm!

"Roar...!"

Lin Potian's Thunder Dragon roared in the air, but it was difficult to lock onto this ghostly figure for a moment!

Then the Footless Bird opened its mouth and spat out a small ice bird, which bombarded the Thunder Dragon; after the two collided, they dissipated into the heavens and earth together.

"Difficult to deal with, truly difficult to deal with..."

Lin Potian looked at the Footless Bird, whose speed was definitely above his own and whose divine ability was no less inferior, with a grave expression. His mind was in a constant storm, thinking of a way to break the deadlock.

"Hehe, it's my turn to strike again!"

The Footless Bird laughed coldly again and again, its figure accelerating suddenly, its wings almost invisible at high speed, leaving only flashes of cold light!

The scene before Lin Potian's eyes became blurred. His eyes flickered as he activated the Sharingan, attempting to lock onto the Footless Bird, but its figure seemed to be everywhere and yet nowhere to be found; every time he tried to lock on, he discovered it was only a phantom!!

Fast, too fast!

"Wind Thunder Shadow!"

Lin Potian gritted his teeth, using his Immortal Divine Power to the limit, attempting to keep up with the Footless Bird's incredible speed. However, the Footless Bird seemed to have merged with the void, and every flash made Lin Potian miss!

For a time, it was like a hawk catching a chick, a chase of speed unfolding.

Suddenly!

The Footless Bird transformed into a beam of extreme cold light, appearing behind Lin Potian in an instant!

"Void-Breaking Ice Spike!"

With a light flap of its wings and a low chant, an ice spike as huge as a star condensed, carrying a coldness capable of freezing time and space, pointing straight at Lin Potian's back!

Lin Potian felt an aura of death envelop his entire body. He tried his best to twist his body, throwing out the Eternal Lotus of Destruction he had already prepared, and collided head-on with the giant ice spike!

Boom!

An earth-shattering explosion erupted instantly, light overflowing everywhere!

Swish—!

Just at this moment, a small ice shard flew out and grazed Lin Potian's shoulder, instantly leaving a frostbite wound deep enough to see the bone!

Thump, thump...

Lin Potian retreated a few steps, his face turning slightly pale.

However, the Footless Bird was in an even more wretched state; perhaps it had underestimated the power of destroying the Eternal Lotus, for because it had been too close, its deep blue feathers were scorched black, and even the few feathers on its head that resembled a crown had been blasted off!

"Ahhh, my feathers! Human, you are courting death!"

The Footless Bird was completely frantic, roaring hoarsely, and with a flap of its wings, it once again unleashed piercing ice awls!

"Then let's see who dies! Wind Thunder Finger!"

A radiance interwoven with deep blue and lightning flashed instantly upon Lin Potian's index finger, and he pointed his finger rapidly, firing twenty consecutive Wind Thunder Fingers in an attempt to directly suppress the Footless Bird!

However, the Footless Bird seemed to have predicted Lin Potian's movements, its body once again turning into a streak of light, twisting strangely and incessantly in the air, easily dodging all the Wind Thunder Fingers!

Swish, swish, swish!

The Wind Thunder Fingers lost their target and shot into the distant sky, causing the firmament to split open and be blasted into a black hole!

"What?!"

Lin Potian's expression changed drastically; all twenty Wind Thunder Fingers had actually been dodged, and the Immortal Divine Power within his body was also nearly exhausted...

"This is going to be bad!"

To be honest, Lin Potian felt a chill run through his heart.
