Chapter 207: The Grand Finale
At Zhang Yi's command, tens of thousands of Jinwu blotted out the sky and sun, flying toward the East Sea in a mighty, sweeping golden ocean.
Golden light spilled onto the earth, and the Demon Beasts that had been trembling in fear prostrated themselves one after another; even the clouds in the sky were dyed gold, as if cheering for the return of the king of the Jinwu clan.
Jubiao Mother watched the departing Jinwu army, her heart filled with deep emotion.
After arriving above the East Sea, the scene before him made Zhang Yi's heart sink.
The once azure sea was now shrouded in a layer of thick black mist, with black shadows churning beneath like boiling black mud, emitting a nauseating, fishy stench.
The East Sea Dragon King pointed at the black mist, his voice trembling as he said, "New Master of the Golden Crow, those black mists are the hiding place of the Black Demon Phantom; they have turned the East Sea into a living hell!"
Zhang Yi let out a cold snort, "Mere Black Demons, daring to be so rampant!"
He waved his hand, "Jinwu army, follow me and kill!"
Before his voice had even faded, the Jinwu army swooped down like a golden meteor shower, smashing into the black mist with an aura capable of burning the heavens and destroying the earth.
"Caw—"
A deafening cry resounded through the heavens and earth, and golden flames poured down like a waterfall; shrill, miserable shrieks immediately erupted from within the black mist.
Countless Black Demon Phantoms surged out from the black mist, waving their black claws and engaging in a fierce battle with the Jinwu army.
For a time, the sky over the East Sea became a battlefield of gold and black.
Golden flames and black demonic energy intertwined, and the sounds of explosions followed one after another, deafening to the ear.
Zhang Yi ignored these small fry; he flew straight into the depths of the black mist, intending to find Yingsha, the leader of the Black Demon Phantom, and wipe out this evil force in one fell swoop.
In the depths of the black mist, a palace built of obsidian stood towering, emitting a sinister and terrifying aura.
Yingsha was sitting on the palace throne, watching the battle scenes displayed in a crystal ball, a cold sneer appearing at the corner of his mouth.
"The Jinwu clan? Hmph, overestimating their own capabilities!"
Before the words were finished, a golden light flashed, and Zhang Yi broke through the black mist, appearing before Yingsha.
"You are Yingsha?" Zhang Yi asked coldly.
Yingsha looked Zhang Yi up and down, a flash of surprise in his eyes, "You are the New Master of the Golden Crow? I didn't expect you to actually dare to break into my lair."
"Enough talk, today it is either you die or I die!" Zhang Yi's eyes were filled with murderous intent.
"Haha, what big words!" Yingsha laughed wildly, "You think you can kill me just by yourself? Simply wishful thinking!"
With that, Yingsha transformed into a black shadow and pounced toward Zhang Yi.
Zhang Yi did not dodge or evade, swinging his fist to meet him.
"Bang!"
With a loud crash, two powerful forces collided, stirring up a violent wave of air.
Zhang Yi and Yingsha engaged in a fierce battle within the palace, fists and feet clashing, golden light and black shadows interweaving, and the entire palace trembled.
During the battle, Zhang Yi continuously absorbed the demonic energy emitted by the Black Demon Phantom, and the progress bar for the system upgrade was also growing rapidly.
【Ding! System upgrade complete!】
Following a crisp notification sound, Zhang Yi felt a powerful force surge into his body, and his strength improved by another level.
"It's time to end this!"
Zhang Yi let out a cold shout, and golden flames condensed into a huge long sword in his hand, emitting an aura that could burn the heavens and destroy the earth.
"Golden Crow Burning Heaven Slash!"
A golden sword beam tore through the void, slashing toward Yingsha.
Yingsha's expression changed drastically; he felt the threat of death and wanted to dodge, but it was already too late.
"Puff!"
The golden sword beam pierced through Yingsha's body, pinning him to the throne.
Yingsha let out a shrill, miserable scream, and his body rapidly turned into black mist, dissipating into the air.
With Yingsha's death, the Black Demon Phantom army also lost its command and scattered one after another, being wiped out by the Jinwu army.
Zhang Yi looked at the disappearing black mist and let out a long sigh of relief.
He had finally completed the system upgrade mission and had also rid the East Sea of a scourge.
At this moment, he suddenly felt a powerful energy fluctuation coming from the direction of the Taiyang Shendian.
His heart stirred; could it be... the Golden Crow Egg had hatched?
Zhang Yi led the Jinwu army and immediately flew back to the Taiyang Shendian.
He discovered that outside the Divine Temple, a Xiao Jinwu was hopping around inside.
Jubiao Mother was chasing after it.
"Little ancestor, slow down! Your dad wasn't as naughty as you when he was little."
Before Zhang Yi could react, he saw the Xiao Jinwu bump headfirst into his arms.
It called out in a milky voice: "Daddy! Hug!"
Zhang Yi's heart warmed, and he picked up the Xiao Jinwu.
This little fellow, with its golden feathers and round body, was simply too cute.
Zhang Yi knew this was the sense of intimacy stemming from the Jinwu bloodline.
This Xiao Jinwu, just like Xiao Pu back then, was infected by the Jinwu bloodline on his body and couldn't help but call him daddy.
Nudi held a small Fire Spirit Fruit in her hand and handed it to the Xiao Jinwu.
"Little one, eat."
"Congratulations to the New Master of the Golden Crow on gaining a little daughter!" The jellyfish smiled sweetly and cupped her hands to congratulate Zhang Yi.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yi realized that this little fellow was actually a little girl.
The Pterosaur's gaze fell on the Xiao Jinwu, a flash of affection in its eyes, "What a cute little one, may I hold her?"
"Be careful now," Nudi said, handing her over cautiously.
Xiao Jinwu was not shy at all, giggling in the arms of the Quetzalcoatlus and even reaching out its little claws to grab the Quetzalcoatlus's dragon scales.
The Quetzalcoatlus was not angry either; instead, it found Xiao Jinwu even more adorable.
Just then, the Demon Emperor also walked in with a smile.
The appearance of the Demon Emperor made the atmosphere on the scene suddenly become somewhat subtle.
As everyone knows, the Demon Emperor has always had a secret crush on Nudi, while Nudi has always been cold toward this guy.
The Demon Emperor walked up to Nudi, "Long time no see."
Nudi only nodded indifferently and did not say much.
The Demon Emperor did not mind; he took out a small black essence stone and handed it to Nudi.
As soon as this essence stone appeared, the Quetzalcoatlus, Zhang Yi, and the others were shocked.
They all knew that this essence stone was a supreme treasure of their Yinhai.
The Quetzalcoatlus whispered to Zhang Yi, "This kid, to chase a woman, he even brought out his family heirloom!"
Zhang Yi chuckled, "However, I feel he has no chance."
As a result, the next instant, they saw Nudi actually take the essence stone.
She picked it up and held it in front of the Golden Crow True Fire to examine it.
Then she said as if nonchalantly, "Mm, the quality is not bad, I will reluctantly accept it."
Upon hearing this, the Demon Emperor almost cried.
He knew that once Nudi accepted this essence stone, it was equivalent to accepting his confession.
"So, you are agreeing to be with me?"
The Demon Emperor's voice was trembling.
Zhang Yi also had a look of astonishment.
He and the Jubiao mother exchanged glances.
Both of them wore expressions of disbelief on their faces.
At this moment, the little earth dragon suddenly darted out and accidentally bumped into Nudi, causing Nudi's body to sway and fall into the Demon Emperor's arms.
Xiao Pu hurriedly stepped forward and picked up the little earth dragon.
"Troublemaker, I'm going to roast it right now!" Xiao Pu said, then ran off in a flash.
Seeing this, everyone could not help but burst into laughter.
From then on, the Golden Crow clan, under the leadership of Zhang Yi, flourished day by day.
And Zhang Yi also had a system quest for leveling up, ready to begin a new journey.
