Chapter 245: The demon king brimming with overbearing aura

Heavy snow fell silently, only that pitch-black ferocious beast like ink stone stood between heaven and earth, becoming the most striking sight in this icy snowy world.

Its spine was straight, as if propping up the heavens; its eyes were sharp, its demeanor even more overlooking all directions.

Faced with powerful explosions and impacts, the golden eagle suffered no harm at all; it had a spiritual light protecting its body, so those firearms posed no threat to it.

"Master, you're so awesome!"

"Without Master, there would be no today for me, little golden!"

"The divine ability Master taught is really badass......"

But in its heart, the golden eagle was overjoyed; seeing its current strength, it couldn't help but admire Ye Qin even more.

Hearing the golden eagle's words, the Tsar soldiers stared at each other, their faces showing some bewilderment; due to cultural differences, they could not understand the meaning of the golden eagle's speech at all.

What else did this big bird say?

Longyuan Mountain Range?

Yao Immortal disciple?

In the recent violent explosion, not to mention animals, even an armored vehicle could not remain unharmed.

How exactly did this big bird achieve that? Could it really be a genetically mutated animal developed by Great Xia?

The Tsar soldiers' faces turned grim to the extreme; after a brief skirmish, they realized that this monster bird that could speak human words ahead of them was not something they could handle.

Although they were brave, they were not brainless; the leading soldier decisively ordered: "Retreat immediately! Bring back news of this place!"

Almost as soon as the words landed, everyone scattered like birds and beasts; while fleeing, they did not forget to pull the trigger and wildly spray fire at the golden eagle.

Even if they could not harm the golden eagle, stopping its steps to buy them time to escape should be no problem.

These bullets tore the air, turning into a blazing flame that scorched the wind and snow, sweeping toward the golden eagle.

However, the golden eagle had long seen through their thoughts; its eyes sharp and boundless, it said: "Did I say you could leave?"

At the moment the words landed, it merely flicked its wings lightly, suddenly whipping up a snowstorm tens of thousands of feet high; its feather blades turned into sharp instruments, dozens of cold lights attacked those Tsar soldiers with the speed of thunder, too fast to cover one's ears.

The soldiers' pupils contracted sharply; wanting to flee was already too late, for the speed of those cold lights was truly too fast, far exceeding their reaction speed.

"Pfft——"

Accompanied by the sound of sharp instruments piercing flesh, the Tsar soldiers collapsed one after another!

Like the Great Sage Monkey King, the golden eagle had also read many human books in its leisure time; it also had favorite characters.

The many words of that virtual character made the golden eagle's blood boil; it felt that, as a demon, it ought to be just as overbearing!

At this moment, the golden eagle spread its wings, as if covering the sky and blocking the sun, soaring above the heavens; its feathers fell, and one Tsar soldier trying to flee was instantly torn apart.

"Turning your back on me? Absolutely laughable; if we fought face to face, you might still have a sliver of hope!"

The golden eagle's whole body flickered with strange divine light; its sharp talons instantly pierced the heads of the Tsar soldiers.

His companions nearby, seeing this, realized escape was hopeless, roared, turned around, and began wildly spraying fire, shouting: "I'll fight you to the death!"

The fire snake spewed out, but only stirred up a large spray of sparks.

"You and I do not belong to the same era; I come because of heavenly mechanism; come or go as I wish! If you fight me, the ages and the world will erupt, consequences unimaginable!"

The golden eagle's voice was icy to the extreme, like death descending; although plain, it invisibly carried an overbearing king's aura.

The soldiers' eyes filled with hatred, they cursed: "Just kill if you're going to kill, stop pretending to be badass here——"

Before he could finish speaking, the golden eagle's wings were right before him; in an instant it flung him tens of miles away.

"Your fate cannot be relied upon on others; you do not belong to the same realm; if you truly collide, the consequences are yours to bear!"

The remaining soldiers watched this scene, nearly vomiting blood from anger, their faces turning liver-colored, "Still saying don't collide? Isn't this you who came looking for it! We've already surrendered!"

The golden eagle acted as if it hadn't heard, speaking boastful words to itself, while its feathers turned into blades and flew out, piercing his chest directly.

This could hardly be called a battle; it was a one-sided slaughter, for the golden eagle had not even unleashed half of its power.

Between heaven and earth, wind and snow stretched boundlessly, silent and still; the pure white snow was covered with a layer of vivid red, glaring to the extreme.

Standing in the pool of blood, the golden eagle gazed at the fallen corpses; snowflakes fell upon that layer of feathers like armor, the contrast of white and black forming a stark contrast,

Here peace was restored; besides the dozen or so corpses on the ground, there was no further change.

Just as the golden eagle was about to leave.

"Beep beep beep——"

A piercing sound suddenly rang out from the snow; it turned out that the communicator on one of the corpses had lit up.

The golden eagle approached the corpse, extended its wing to pick up the communicator, then stretched out a feather and skillfully pressed the answer key.

"Eh?"

"Who is it?"

Hearing the golden eagle speak fluent Great Xia language, the other end of the communicator remained silent for a long time, as if not knowing what was happening.

"If you don't speak, I'll hang up."

Just as the golden eagle grew impatient waiting, a male voice finally came from the other end, speaking awkward Great Xia language: "Are you Great Xia border defense? How could you have our communicator? How are our people?"

Obviously the other side also sensed that something was wrong.

Facing his series of questions, the golden eagle replied coolly: "All dead."

On the other end of the line, the breathing suddenly became ragged, raising volume: "All dead?!"

The golden eagle did not detect his suppressed anger, and added: "Rest assured, not a single one left."

After a brief silence, the communicator transmitted a clattering sound, as if something had fallen to the ground; mixed within the Great Xia language were Tsar curses, followed by a roar.

"How dare you!"

"We merely noticed an abnormality on Changbai and went to take a look; you actually employed such vicious methods!"

"Give us your designation, I will surely make you look bad!"

Compared to the other side's raging fury, the golden eagle was as calm as could be, responding with a resonant, powerful voice: "I am the Yao King of Changbai, the golden eagle!"

The voice on the other end of the communicator abruptly ceased, deathly silence spreading; it seemed not to have expected such an answer, only after a moment did it react.

"Demon King Golden Eagle?"

"Sheer baseless talk!"

"Even the demon king has come out, using such a lame excuse to brush us off, going too far!"

"The person opposite was clearly furious, their awkward Great Xia language mixed with raging anger: 'I don't care what demon king, no matter what, you must give us an explanation, hand over the culprit!'"

"We Tsars are not to be taken lightly; if you don't hand over the culprit, don't blame us for sending troops!"

"Facing the furious opponent, Golden Eagle's expression remained unchanged."

"You're welcome to try; even if I bear Mount Changbai and need a hand to support the heavens and earth valleys, I, Golden Eagle, am still invincible in the world!"

"After saying that, Golden Eagle directly crushed the communicator, a pile of powder merging into the snow."

"On the other end of the communicator, the Tsar's high-ranking officials were so angry they couldn't speak, throwing everything on the table onto the floor."

"This person is too arrogant! They don't even put us in their eyes!"

"His sharp eyes flashed with anger, suddenly whipping up countless storms: 'Truly bullying too much! Go find the communications officer; I want to speak with the person in charge of the Great Xia Northeast region!'"

"……"

"Meanwhile, Golden Eagle had no idea that its unintentional action would stir up such a storm."

"At that moment, its expression grave, only to see in the nearby valley, strange-colored auroras wildly spreading outward, powerful undulations in the air, even the ice and snow showing signs of melting."

"If someone were to look down from above, they would surely be shocked by the scene below."

"Those strange lights were like layers of bursting fireworks, dazzling and magnificent; within the depths of those fireworks lay immense energy clusters, now showing a faint tendency to explode."

"Golden Eagle furrowed its brows, 'Oh no! It must be the earlier fight plus the spiritual aura causing the magnetic field here to go haywire.'"

"The magnetic field here was already unstable, even verging on collapse, extremely fragile; Golden Eagle has constantly been using its own spiritual power to reinforce it, preventing this balance from being broken."

"But just now, due to the arrival of those Tsar soldiers, it was momentarily careless, and with those soldiers firing, the surrounding environment became even more fragile."

"As the saying goes, pull one hair and the whole body moves."

"Thinking of this, Golden Eagle flew into a rage; if it weren't for those Tsar soldiers suddenly arriving, it might have been able to hold out a while longer, but now this situation has completely plunged into imbalance."

"Powerful energy kept spreading from the valley, those auroras even affecting the surroundings, even causing plants and stones to glow."

"Golden Eagle's eyes blazed like torches, black-gold spiritual power erupting from its body, transforming into countless streams of light that covered the valley's center."

"These lights intertwined, forming a vast net that covered the heavens and earth, enveloping those strange auroras, attempting to push them all back into the valley."

"The two forces collided in midair."

"Golden Eagle's eyes turned blood-red, its qi and blood boiling, driving the power throughout its body."

"Get back!"

"With a long cry, radiant spiritual light burst all around it, an invisible half-wave radiating from Golden Eagle as the center, spreading in all directions, striking the eight directions!"

"Those strange lights surged tumultuously, becoming ever more terrifying, like raging waves devouring everything."

"Boom!"

"Accompanied by an earth-shaking roar, a huge mushroom cloud rose in the sky; instantly dust flew, heavy snow swirled, and even Golden Eagle was violently thrown back dozens of li."

"Golden Eagle gazed up at the heavens, a terrifying aura shooting straight to the firmament; in an instant, the entire valley and the sky above were completely covered by the strange light."

"Amidst lightning and thunder, a huge gash was torn open in the sky, a sight truly horrifying."

"Countless terrifying fissures split open from the valley's center, pitch-black and deep, the edge unseen, like an abyss descending; countless strange lights vied to pour forth, flooding the heavens."

"Blood trickled from Golden Eagle's mouth corner, eventually turning into a long, faint sigh: 'Monkey, I've done my best, but I can no longer suppress it.'"

"As the sky-piercing light column rose from the ground, at this moment all living beings in the Changbai Mountain region lifted their heads, personally seeing the azure sky above them being devoured by the strange light."

"The tremendous undulation kept spreading in all directions; even the Great Sage Monkey King, still on the road, sensed the uneasy aura in the distance."

"Beasts are more sensitive to aura; although they didn't know what happened, the entire beast tide became restless."

"The Monkey King's face suddenly turned extremely grim: 'Oh no, something's happened over at Changbai Mountain!'"

"Not only did the Monkey King notice, but humans also sensed the anomaly."

"Great Xia, Northeast Region Border Command."

"The change in the sky quickly caught the attention of several officers; looking up, they saw the azure sky above them being bit by bit swallowed by strange light, truly bizarre to the extreme."

"The military was in an uproar up and down; many wore expressions of shock, stunned by the scene before them, unable to recover for a long time."

"A soldier ran over anxiously, 'Report, detected magnetic field chaos at the edge of the Changbai Mountain range, radiation index continually rising, visibility dropping!'"

"The leading officer was tall and sturdy, with bright, piercing tiger eyes; he was the person in charge of the Northeast Region, named Yang Jiaxiong. He picked up the report on the detector, skimmed it at a glance, and his expression suddenly changed."

"How did the magnetic field suddenly become chaotic? What on earth is going on?"

"After frowning in thought for a moment, Yang Jiaxiong seemed to recall something; when the Hua Shan plane crashed earlier, the surrounding magnetic field also underwent drastic changes."

"Could it be that something similar to what happened at Hua Shan is occurring here?"

"Regardless, we cannot take it lightly."

"Yang Jiaxiong immediately issued orders: 'Quickly report to superiors, also issue an emergency notice to nearby airports: halt all flights on this route.'"

"As orders were sent out one after another, the command post bustled; just then, a special communication suddenly rang."

"Is that the Tsar Command's phone?"

"Why are they calling us now? Could it be that the same thing happened on their side?"

"With that thought, Yang Jiaxiong dared not delay, immediately picking up; however, before he could speak, an angry voice came from the other end."

"Are you trying to start a war!"

"Yang Jiaxiong stared at the phone, bewildered, unable to react, and couldn't help but ask: 'What do you mean by that?'"

"As for the Tsar commander Lev Zhetyet, he was not unfamiliar to him; both were border officials, not far apart, so they often dealt with each other, and on the surface had remained fairly harmonious."

"Lev Zhetyet snorted coldly, his voice piercingly sharp: 'You still have the nerve to ask!'"

"Yang Jiaxiong frowned slightly; he had thought that when the call came in, Lev Zhetyet would discuss the Changbai Mountain anomaly and exchange information, but instead the other side indiscriminately hurled insults."

"His tone also turned much colder, a faint anger rising in his heart: 'Mr. Lev Zhetyet, please explain yourself clearly; don't stir up trouble for no reason.'"

Yang Jiaxiong looked at the abnormal sky around him and the menacing pressure looming in the distance; at this moment, he had no mood to wrangle with Lie Fu Jie Te here.

Hearing Yang Jiaxiong's righteous and confident questioning, with implications that also blamed them, Lie Fu Jie Te flew into a rage, instantly igniting his explosive temper.

"Those who killed our people are still putting on an act here!"

"Is it just because we went to your place and took a look, that you had to kill everyone?"

"Moreover, 'The king cannot be insulted; go ahead and try, even if I bear Changbai Mountain, I am still invincible in the world.' Bah! You Great Xia soldiers, how can you be so pretentious!"

Facing Lie Fu Jie Te's rapid-fire remarks, Yang Jiaxiong was utterly bewildered: "What do you mean by 'those who killed your people'? Speak clearly, and what nonsense are you spouting afterward?"

"We Great Xia people would never say such... lewd talk!"

Lie Fu Jie Te snorted repeatedly: "We've come to this point; there's no need to pretend anymore. You killed people yet refuse to admit it? This nonsense didn't just come out of your mouths?"

"The Monster King of Changbai Mountain has shown up, and you're still playing Mystifying Deception; this matter is absolutely not over!"

"I tell you, no matter what, I have decided to explore Changbai Mountain today; you're so arrogant, you don't even take me seriously."

"Then I'll give it a try, see how you claim to be invincible in the world, and let us have a one-way trip."

After saying these words, Lie Fu Jie Te didn't wait for Yang Jiaxiong's reaction and directly hung up the phone.

Yang Jiaxiong was also fuming, feeling that the other side's chatter was just a long string of incoherent nonsense.

"Are you crazy? Did you eat gunpowder?"

"What exactly happened on Changbai Mountain to make Lie Fu Jie Te so furious?"

"From their words just now, it seems their forces were completely wiped out, and they even think it was our side's doing?"

After a brief moment of thought, Yang Jiaxiong didn't dwell on it further, after all there were more important things at hand; looking out the window at the strange-colored sky, his expression gradually grew solemn.

"Notify everyone to carry out a carpet search, detect nearby frequency bands, and find any abnormalities."

"Also, gather personnel to go to Changbai Mountain for exploration, to see what exactly happened there!" (End of chapter)
