Chapter 206: Ultimate Mission Completed, System Upgrading

Sensing the aura of the Golden Crow Egg, a trace of fear flashed in the eyes of Juman, and its massive body began to tremble.

It instinctively wanted to flee, but was firmly drawn by the Heart of the Divine Tree, unable to leave.

The golden light grew increasingly intense, finally transforming into a golden pillar of light that shot straight at Juman's head.

Juman let out a shrill, miserable shriek, its enormous body twisting violently as if enduring immense pain.

The golden light lasted for a moment; Juman finally could not hold on, its massive body crashing to the ground and kicking up a cloud of dust.

After Juman fell, the Heart of the Divine Tree lost its guardian and emitted an even more dazzling radiance.

Zhang Yi and the others walked beneath the Shenmu, looking up at this fruit that contained powerful strength.

"Finally obtained it," Zhang Yi felt deeply moved in his heart.

He reached out his hand and plucked the Heart of the Divine Tree.

Zhang Yi let out a long breath, his gaze falling upon the Heart of the Divine Tree in his hand; this fruit emitted a soft glow, as if it contained endless life force.

Jubiao had a look of relief, "That's great, with the Heart of the Divine Tree, we can stabilize the Taiyang Shendian."

"Let's go back," Zhang Yi put away the Heart of the Divine Tree.

The Pterosaur spread its wings and soared high, carrying Zhang Yi and the others as it flew toward the direction of the Taiyang Shendian.

……

Although the Taiyang Shendian had already been restored.

Without the support of the Shenmu, its foundation was unstable, and sometimes it would still sway slightly.

Zhang Yi and the others jumped down from the back of the Pterosaur.

He took out the Heart of the Divine Tree and held it high above his head.

The Heart of the Divine Tree emitted a dazzling light, illuminating the entire ruins.

"In my name, I sacrifice the Heart of the Divine Tree to stabilize the Taiyang Shendian!"

Zhang Yi chanted the ancient incantation in a loud voice.

The Heart of the Divine Tree slowly rose into the air, hovering above the Taiyang Shendian.

The light grew more and more intense, finally transforming into a massive pillar of light that enveloped the entire Taiyang Shendian.

The temple, which had been swaying, instantly became indestructible.

A magnificent palace stood between heaven and earth.

"Success!" everyone cheered with joy.

The moment the temple stabilized, the dust settled, and the world seemed to go quiet for an instant.

Immediately following, the heavy temple doors slowly opened accompanied by a low, rumbling sound.

An ancient and majestic voice, as if coming from the dawn of time, echoed between heaven and earth: "Welcome, Golden Crow Inheritor Zhang Yi, the King returns!"

This voice carried an inexplicable sense of oppression, causing Zhang Yi's heart to jolt.

He took a deep breath and stepped into the Divine Temple.

Inside the hall, the golden light was brilliant, the dome was towering, and the murals depicted lifelike legends of the Golden Crows, every stroke seeming to contain ancient power.

A sacred aura rushed toward him, making Zhang Yi feel refreshed and relaxed.

Jubiao followed behind Zhang Yi, also feeling incredibly shocked, and muttered, "As expected of the Taiyang Shendian, it truly has an extraordinary presence."

Zhang Yi looked around, his gaze finally landing on a massive seal deep within the main hall.

The seal was circular, a full ten zhang in diameter, and was covered in dense, ancient runes, emitting powerful energy fluctuations like a sleeping giant beast that could awaken at any moment.

According to the remaining records in the Divine Temple, thousands of ancient Golden Crows were suppressed beneath this seal.

They were once the most dazzling existences in the sky, but were sealed here by the darkness Shenmo, never to be reborn for eternity.

Zhang Yi felt a strong summons, as if coming from the depths of his bloodline.

He knew he must break the seal, release these imprisoned clansmen, and let them see the light of day again.

"This... is this the seal?"

Jubiao was somewhat worried, "Can those ancient Golden Crows really be released? What if..."

"There are no 'what ifs'."

"I can feel it; they are my clansmen, waiting for my rescue."

He walked to the front of the seal, took a deep breath, and placed his hand on the cold seal.

In an instant, the Golden Crow bloodline within Zhang Yi began to boil, and a powerful force like surging magma flowed madly into the seal.

The ancient runes seemed to be activated, gradually lighting up and emitting a dazzling radiance.

The seal began to vibrate violently, emitting bursts of humming sounds, and waves of powerful auras leaked out from the seal, carrying an ancient pressure that made one's heart palpitate.

Jubiao retreated a few steps nervously; she could feel the terror of this power and could not help but break into a cold sweat for Zhang Yi.

As the seal was broken, sharp cries resounded through heaven and earth, and countless Golden Crows rushed into the sky as if breaking out of cocoons.

Their feathers all flashed with golden light, shining brilliantly under the sun like a golden ocean.

The deafening cries echoed through the clouds, as if declaring their return.

These Golden Crows sensed Zhang Yi's aura, and one after another they submitted at his feet, prostrating on the ground and shouting in unison: "Greetings, New Master of the Golden Crow!"

The sound shook heaven and earth and echoed throughout the universe.

Zhang Yi looked at the spectacular scene before him, his heart filled with pride.

"Rise!"

Zhang Yi looked majestic, "From today on, we shall restore the glory of the Golden Crow clan!"

"We obey the New Master's command!"

The Golden Crows responded in unison, their voices filled with fanaticism.

Zhang Yi led this vast and mighty army of Golden Crows and flew out of the Divine Temple.

Sunlight shone upon the feathers of the Jinwu, reflecting a dazzling radiance that turned the entire sky into a golden ocean.

This spectacular sight shocked everyone.

Jubiao looked at the army of Jinwu soaring in the sky with a face full of joy.

She knew that Zhang Yi's mission had only just begun.

The Jinwu clan would rise again under Zhang Yi's leadership and become the most powerful existence in this world.

Just then, an old dragon covered in wounds flew over from the shores of the East Sea, gasping for breath, yet still carrying the unique majesty of the dragon race.

The old dragon arrived with difficulty before Zhang Yi and said sorrowfully, "New Master of the Golden Crow, this old one is the East Sea Dragon King. The East Sea region has recently been occupied by the Black Demon Phantom. They not only want to claim the East Sea as their own but have also destroyed my Long Gong, leaving countless subjects displaced! This old one implores the New Master of the Golden Crow to intervene, drive out the Black Demon, and save the East Sea!"

Before Zhang Yi could speak.

A voice rang out in his mind.

【Ding! Ultimate mission: Rescue the Jinwu clan completed. Reward: System completely upgraded.】

【Note: System upgrade requires 10,000 points of Demonic Qi; please collect them as soon as possible, Host.】

Zhang Yi frowned slightly.

System upgrade? Demonic Qi? This sudden mission caught him off guard.

At this moment, the East Sea Dragon King's tearful accusation reached his ears, and Zhang Yi's heart stirred.

Black Demon? Phantom? East Sea occupied? Isn't this the perfect opportunity to collect Demonic Qi?

He looked at the gasping East Sea Dragon King and asked in a deep voice, "How many Black Demon are there? What is their strength?"

The East Sea Dragon King hurriedly replied, "Reporting to the New Master of the Golden Crow, the Black Demon Phantom numbers in the tens of thousands. The leader is named Yingsha, and his strength is unfathomable. I fought him and was defeated within a few rounds."

Zhang Yi was secretly delighted; tens of thousands of Black Demon would be enough to collect 10,000 points of Demonic Qi.

"Very well, I promise you. I will go to the East Sea right now and meet this Black Demon Phantom!"

"Many thanks to the New Master of the Golden Crow! Many thanks to the New Master of the Golden Crow!" The East Sea Dragon King kowtowed repeatedly in excitement.
