At some unknown point, thick, ink-like black clouds appeared above the nameless small island, vast and covering an area of over a hundred li.
The surrounding air was unusually heavy, and the might of heaven was immense, causing all living beings in the vicinity to feel a pang of fear, as if a catastrophic disaster was descending.
A rumbling thunderclap sounded, followed by a succession of roars, as the wind raged, lightning flashed, and thunder boomed, like a chaotic dance of snakes.
Cultivators hundreds of li away were greatly alarmed by this scene and watched from afar.
A Demon Beast Undergoing Tribulation to transform was a rare sight for Cultivators, one in a thousand years; even a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator might not witness it once in their entire Lifespan.
Moreover, this was happening in the Inner Star Sea, the territory of human Cultivators.
Most people feared the scene of the Lightning Tribulation, but many Core Formation Cultivators still flew towards the center of the Lightning Tribulation, hoping to hunt the Undergoing Tribulation Demon Beast. Among them, three streaks of light traveled much faster than the others, exuding a captivating pressure.
Near the nameless small island, darkness prevailed, with only flashes of cold light appearing when lightning struck.
At this moment, within the small island, a red light shot straight into the sky, accompanied by a clear cry, like a red sun, its light illuminating all directions.
Heavenly lightning condensed in the air, and a low roar emanated from the thunder. Giant waves surged around the small island, growing higher and higher with the thunder, as if to swallow the entire island.
The Crimson Crow's body grew larger and larger, from a few zhang, to more than ten zhang, and then to a colossal hundred zhang.
Li Feiyu flicked his finger, and a crystalline drop of water, enveloped in Magic Power, flew towards the Crimson Crow, which opened its mouth and swallowed it.
"Crimson Crow, the rest is up to you. As for the others, with me here, no one can harm you!"
"You just focus all your efforts on the Lightning Tribulation!"
"Ya ya~"
Li Feiyu's eyes began to turn cold, and the Evil Qi that had been suppressed for years began to emanate.
Countless lightning arcs, as thick as arms, struck the Crimson Crow's body, emitting a metallic clang.
At this moment, every feather of the Crimson Crow was harder than profound iron, making it difficult for ordinary Magic Treasures to harm it. But the heavenly lightning was fierce; the Crimson Crow was deep within it, and in a short time, countless feathers exploded, turning into ash.
The Crimson Crow let out a painful shriek, erupting with Sun True Fire to resist it.
Thunder and flames exploded, the sound of the explosion shaking heaven and earth.
Hundred-meter-high giant waves surged in the sea, rippling outwards in circles.
In its Legacy memory, the Crimson Crow knew that the Lightning Tribulation's power would grow stronger and stronger, so it did not erupt yet, nor did it use the Lifespan Liquid Li Feiyu had given it.
What kind of master, what kind of Spirit Beast.
Having followed Li Feiyu for so long, it had thoroughly learned to hide its trump cards and use them at critical moments.
In its perception, dozens, even hundreds, of auras were rapidly approaching from afar, but it was not worried at all, because Li Feiyu was there.
Because no one knew Li Feiyu's strength better than it did.
Soon after, three figures arrived first near the nameless small island from three different directions.
The three formed a triangular formation, observing each other.
"Zenith Yin, I didn't expect you to be nearby as well." A middle-aged Daoist, with graying temples, said with a hint of disappointment in his voice.
"Tianwuzi, if I weren't here, wouldn't you have to Face Elder Liu of Star Palace alone?"
Zenith Yin's Face was pale and withered, and he said with a sinister smile, "Although I don't know why a Demon Beast would be foolish enough to choose to undergo its transformation tribulation in the Inner Star Sea, it just happens to benefit us."
"Tianwuzi, why don't you give this Ancestral Master some Face? Later, you block Elder Liu, and I will slay that Demon Beast, how about it?"
"Hmph! You wish! Why don't you go block the Star Palace Elder?" Tianwuzi glared at Ancestral Master Zenith Yin with displeasure.
At this moment, the Star Palace Elder at the remaining corner, having listened to their chatter for a while and seeing that they completely disregarded him, immediately felt a surge of anger.
He hadn't encountered a situation where someone disregarded him for an unknown number of years.
"Even if your Inverse Star Alliance has a numerical advantage, it won't be that easy to stop this Elder."
Elder Liu suppressed his anger and did not erupt, but instead sowed discord, saying, "Moreover, even if you succeed, are you sure the other person will share this Demon Beast's inner core equally with you?"
"I think that Undergoing Tribulation Demon Beast is not simple. Its aura is grand, and it possesses innate fire-attribute Divine Ability. It is probably a rare Heaven and Earth Spirit Beast. Its transformed inner core is far more valuable than an ordinary Level 8 transformed inner core, comparable to a Level 9 Demon Beast."
"Its value, you all know, so I won't say more. Anyway, I won't give up. This flying Spirit Beast, its entire plumage can probably be refined into a very good winged Magic Treasure, and its claws and beak are also incredibly hard, making them excellent Materials for Magic Treasures."
Ancestral Master Zenith Yin pouted, "So much nonsense. Aren't you just trying to sow distrust between the two of us?"
"Although we don't get along, we are ultimately in the same camp. We are very clear about what needs to be done at the moment, aren't we, Tianwuzi?"
Tianwuzi snorted again. He knew that what Ancestral Master Zenith Yin said was correct, so he did not refute.
Disagreement aside, they belonged to the same camp. Before the camp completely fell apart, at least they wouldn't casually deal with each other.
"How about this, flying Spirit Beasts are already difficult to capture. Even if it's severely injured after Undergoing Tribulation and transforming, we can't guarantee that we can definitely trap and kill it. So, let's temporarily set aside our grievances and first set up a great formation to trap this Demon Beast. After we deal with it, we can then decide who is superior."
Zenith Yin smiled strangely, "At that time, whoever gets what will depend on their own methods, how about it?"
Tianwuzi quickly agreed, and Elder Liu thought for a moment, then also agreed.
"Have you finished discussing?"
"Before you kill it, shouldn't you ask me, its master, first?"
A cold voice suddenly rang out, startling all three. They looked in the direction of the voice, only to see a handsome young man, surrounded by ten-foot-tall blood-red Evil Qi, walking step by step through the air above the sea.
Dong dong dong ~
With each step, space trembled violently, like a beating drum.
When they arrived, their Divine Sense had swept through the area, but they had found nothing. But now that a voice appeared, there was no doubt that a Cultivator of the same or even higher stage had already been present here.
"So it's a Spirit Beast with a master, no wonder!"
This thought popped into their minds, and at the same time, they were guessing who this young man was and when such a young Nascent Soul Cultivator had appeared in the Inner Star Sea.
Of course, these were all thoughts Ancestral Master Zenith Yin had before seeing the young man.
When he saw the other party's appearance, his pale Face furrowed, and his eyes were filled with an incredulous expression.
"How is it you?!"
Tianwuzi and Elder Liu both looked over in surprise, and Tianwuzi asked, "Zenith Yin, you know him?"
Zenith Yin did not answer, but instead exclaimed in surprise, "You actually advanced to Nascent Soul! How is this possible? How could it be so fast?!"
"Who exactly is he, Zenith Yin, stop being so mysterious?"
Ancestral Master Zenith Yin's Face showed a hint of bitterness, "He is a low-key person. I only saw his true appearance once by accident."
"You don't know what he looks like, but you must have heard his name. He is one of the two prominent figures in the Inner Star Sea. Coincidentally, as far as I know, these two prominent figures are also Senior Brothers, from the same sect!"
"He is, Li Feiyu!"
