Chapter 633: Chapter 255: The King Who Cannot Be Defeated by Powerful Foes!

A presence rivaling that of the giant eagle emanated from Xiao Bai, its outspread wings completely covering Xu Ran behind it.

The giant eagle in the sky saw Xiao Bai’s body transform once again, this time equaling its own size, and felt utterly shocked, its eyes full of greed.

It initially thought that tripling in size was the limit of the Divine Eagle Skill, but it seemed that this wasn’t the end — clearly, it was ready to fight desperately.

At that moment.

While all the giant eagle’s attention was on Xiao Bai, Xu Ran, hidden beneath the wings, quietly used the Wind Control Skill to stealthily leave under Xiao Bai’s shadow, surrounding himself with Innate Qi to conceal his presence as much as possible.

This was Xu Ran’s strategy; if the giant eagle wanted the Divine Eagle Skill from Xiao Bai, then they would show its ultimate form on Xiao Bai, fueling its inner greed and making it ignore the baby.

Xu Ran cautiously used the Wind Control Skill to silently enter the recently gathered clouds under Xiao Bai’s shadow.

Indeed, regrouping the clouds was also part of the plan.

Even if all the giant eagle’s focus was on Xiao Bai, they were in the high sky, and even if Xu Ran was just a baby, appearing openly would likely draw attention, so he concealed himself within the clouds instead.

Fortunately, his deep insight into the Invisibility Skill on Blue Star allowed him to enter the clouds without causing a ripple or being discovered.

Xiao Bai sensed that its master Xu Ran had left, instantly fortifying its aura!

The plan begins!

Xiao Bai fully unleashed the Divine Eagle Skill, the high-altitude gusts raging, accompanied by a “woo-woo-woo” sound, like something from a demon’s hell, sending chills down one’s spine.

The giant eagle, being Xiao Bai’s opponent, was not to be outdone. Its three-meter tall form expanded abruptly, blocking out the sun, its steel-like feathers appearing slightly somber in the sunlight.

“Chirp—”

Immediately, Xiao Bai’s resonant sound echoed, and a tearing noise spread through the sky, cutting across the firmament. A white figure curved a perfect arc through the air, heading straight for the giant eagle.

With the infusion of Xu Ran’s Innate Qi and the enhancement of the Divine Eagle Skill, Xiao Bai’s body had increased to three meters, enough to be on par with the giant eagle, which gave Xiao Bai some confidence.

The giant eagle, the king among raptors, faced the incoming Xiao Bai with no fear. Its steel-like feathers bristled like sharp spikes, standing on end, and the feathers on its wings began to slowly lift, detaching from its body.

“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—-”

Soon after, countless sounds of rapid flight filled the sky, as myriad steel-like feathers shot toward the approaching Xiao Bai, each exuding a chilling coldness.

The giant eagle, also a raptor, was originally the sky king of the Great Mountain. To reach this point, it naturally had something special.

The ability of its feathers to detach and fly at targets was a talent skill possessed by the giant eagle.

The giant eagle, already massive, bore thick and sturdy feathers, each as big as Xu Ran’s arm and exceedingly hard. Even Xiao Bai, cleansed by Innate Qi, had to pay a high price to withstand a direct hit.

The giant eagle gazed coldly at Xiao Bai’s advancing figure, its beak raising slightly. This talent skill was its trump card, never used before because no Demon Beast had ever forced it to use this move.

Initially, Xiao Bai did not qualify for this honor, but the addition of Innate Qi made it comparable in size, and Xiao Bai itself was a Peregrine Falcon, also a raptor, a master of the skies, not to mention the miraculous Divine Eagle Skill it wielded.

Additionally, the chase with Xiao Bai had continued for so long without Xiao Bai showing signs of exhaustion, indicating its Spiritual Power was incredibly robust. Since the delay led to change, it chose to use its strongest lethal move directly.

Suddenly.

The giant eagle’s raised head suddenly lowered as it witnessed an incredible scene.

Xiao Bai, watching the incoming feathers, showed no sign of evasion. Instead, its Spiritual Power surged recklessly outward, to the point where the surrounding space twisted from the explosive energy.

“It’s throwing its life away!!”

At that moment, this was the only thought in the giant eagle’s mind.

Although Xiao Bai’s surrounding Spiritual Power turmoil was intense enough to cause initial spatial collapse, the giant eagle, knowing its talent skill, was certain that even so, the only outcome would be Xiao Bai getting severely injured, allowing it to extract the Treasure Bone within Xiao Bai afterward.

But the giant eagle, briefly shocked, soon regained its composure.

The sooner Xiao Bai died, the better it was for the giant eagle. Let it do whatever foolish thing it wanted!!

Xiao Bai’s eyes were filled with determination, treating the fast-approaching feathers as nonexistent.

“I will complete my master’s mission!!”

Previously, Xu Ran had tasked Xiao Bai with attracting as much of the giant eagle’s attention as possible, allowing him time to prepare the Annihilation Tribulation Light.

Now, what could make the giant eagle completely let down its guard and provide the best conditions for master Xu Ran?

The answer was Xiao Bai being severely injured, especially in a way that prevented quick recovery. Facing a dying opponent would always make even the most cautious enemy lower their guard, let alone this giant eagle, which was just an unintelligent Demon Beast. No matter how skilled or powerful, a beast’s instincts wouldn’t change.

As long as the giant eagle focused all its attention on Xiao Bai, the mission would be completed, and even if injured, master Xu Ran would rapidly heal Xiao Bai with Innate Qi, leaving no troubles behind.

Moreover, the Divine Eagle Skill bolstered by Innate Qi had a time limit, and Xiao Bai couldn’t kill the giant eagle within that period. Thus, using the strongest defense against the giant eagle’s strongest attack was the best way to protect itself.

Amid contemplation.

“Boom!!”

A thunderous explosion echoed through the sky, causing the Demon Beasts in the Great Mountain to raise their heads. They saw rolls of black smoke rising high above, with signs of spatial collapse inside the smoke, and not far outside it, a great raptor watched with a disdainful gaze toward the dark mist’s direction.

“The victor has emerged!!”

This was the simultaneous thought of all the Demon Beasts.

The pursuit between Xiao Bai and the giant eagle spanned half the Great Mountain. Even though it all occurred in the sky, the Demon Beasts in the Great Mountain witnessed it all.

No one expected that the two beasts they revered would resolve their battle in such a way, and their gaze at the winning giant eagle carried a sense of allegiance.

In the eyes of the Demon Beasts, the victor was king, power reigned supreme, and only the strong deserved survival.

At the moment of the explosion, countless raptors flew out of the Great Mountain’s forests, surrounding the giant eagle and collectively bowing their heads in submission!

The giant eagle, with immense power, was the king of raptors in the Great Mountain, and now it had defeated its sole opponent in the region, requiring these raptor Demon Beasts to quickly pledge allegiance, lest it was too late when the giant eagle reacted.

The giant eagle felt the submission of the Beasts below and the allegiance of the raptors, a sense of pride swelling within as its shot feathers returned to its wings.

It rushed forward with its wings flapping furiously, and the originally shrouding black mist around Xiao Bai dispersed instantly.

What appeared was the formerly magnificent and mystical Xiao Bai, now in a state of extreme distress.

Its feathers were almost entirely gone, with only a few sparse ones emanating faint golden light. Blood continuously oozed from its body, transforming the once pristine white Xiao Bai into a red-marked-black figure.

It opened its beak, droplets of cold, crimson blood falling, quickly turning into fine frost with the descent!

Thus.

Clusters of blood-colored frost like flying snow swirled around Xiao Bai.

Despite this, Xiao Bai held its proud head high, its eyes fearlessly gazing at the giant eagle, as if it were an unyielding king impossible to be brought down by a strong foe.
