Chapter 578: Half-Step Demon King VS Cloud Eagle Formation
"This is…"
Everyone present stared with narrowed eyes at the black figure spreading its golden-patterned demonic wings. An overwhelming sense of fear gripped their hearts as they sensed an innate terror emanating from this sinister silhouette.
"Master, what are your orders?"
While the crowd remained in shock, the dark figure respectfully dropped to one knee before Lin Langtian, bowing with absolute submission.
Witnessing this surreal scene, a deathly silence blanketed the Golden Crow Mountains. Every single spectator froze in disbelief at the absurdity of the sight unfolding before them.
The formidable and fiercely evil figure had actually kneeled in reverence before a mere young human at the Perfect Death Profound Realm. Its utterly respectful demeanor sent ripples of disbelief through everyone's minds.
Even the Elder of Eagle Nest Mountain was dumbstruck, his eyes bulging with incredulity at the sight of the sinister figure kneeling humbly before Lin Langtian. He could clearly sense an overwhelmingly dangerous aura from the figure. Yet, such a terrifying expert willingly humbled himself before a young human at the Death Profound Realm?
Who exactly was this green-robed youth?
Behind Lin Langtian, Jinwu and the others also stood stunned.
Closest to Lin Langtian, they clearly heard the words uttered by the Wolf Demon General.
"Master?"
Shuang Wu froze, her beautiful eyes staring incredulously at Lin Langtian. She had never imagined that he could summon such a terrifying ally. More surprising was how submissive this ally appeared, regarding Lin Langtian as his master with such unwavering devotion.
Jinwu, however, quickly recovered from his surprise. Having spent extensive time alongside Lin Langtian, he was well aware of his elder brother's extraordinary capabilities.
"Kill him."
Lin Langtian glanced coldly at the Elder Eagle Nest, his voice filled with icy authority.
Although Elder Eagle Nest was indeed a Reincarnation Stage powerhouse, he hadn't yet reached the Samsara Stage. Compared to the Wolf Demon General, his strength was still significantly inferior.
"Understood, Master!"
Acknowledging Lin Langtian's command, the Wolf Demon General stood up slowly, his crimson eyes gleaming with ferocity as he fixed his gaze upon Elder Eagle Nest.
"Hmph, since you dare provoke my Master, prepare to die!"
The Wolf Demon General's savage aura erupted, his hand swiftly grasping the surging demonic qi that rapidly condensed into a spiraling black vortex. With a wave of his sleeve, the vortex spiraled violently, hurtling toward Elder Eagle Nest with destructive force.
"Damn it!"
Elder Eagle Nest cursed in anger as he saw the Wolf Demon General's attack approaching. His palm immediately struck forward, releasing rolling waves of Yuan Power infused with the perfect blend of life-and-death energy, fiercely colliding with the black vortex.
"Boom!"
The two terrifying attacks clashed in mid-air, shaking the very foundations of the mountain range. The resulting shockwave spread rapidly, knocking the surrounding experts off balance.
"Argh!"
In the next instant, a figure shot out violently from the explosion, spewing a mouthful of blood. The figure was none other than Elder Eagle Nest, whose aura instantly weakened significantly.
"That's Elder Eagle Nest! How could such a renowned expert be instantly overwhelmed?!"
"He's a Reincarnation Stage expert! Just what kind of being is this black figure to overpower Elder Eagle Nest so effortlessly?"
The astounding exchange in the skies left everyone dumbfounded. Those with sharp minds quickly realized that the tables had turned dramatically. Elder Eagle Nest, a renowned powerhouse, had been easily defeated in just one exchange.
"What a pathetic insect. You dare provoke my master with such pitiful strength," sneered the Wolf Demon General mockingly, his golden-patterned face twisted in contempt.
"Damn it! I don't know what kind of monster you are, but defeating Eagle Nest Mountain won't be that easy!"
Wiping the blood from his lips, Elder Eagle Nest glared resolutely at the Wolf Demon General, determination surging in his eyes. He shouted loudly to his forces below:
"Eagle Nest Mountain, heed my command! Activate the Cloud Eagle Formation!"
His body suddenly expanded into a giant eagle several thousand feet in size. With a mighty flap of his wings, violent winds swept across the world.
"Yes!"
Responding immediately, thousands upon thousands of figures rose swiftly into the sky, quickly forming an immense inverted triangular formation that soared tens of thousands of feet high. Energies from thousands of experts—from Life Profound to Death Profound Realm—converged perfectly within the formation, creating an endless surge of terrifying Yuan Power.
Empowered by the Cloud Eagle Formation, Elder Eagle Nest's aura soared explosively, nearly matching that of the Wolf Demon General.
Lin Langtian narrowed his eyes as he observed the gigantic formation swiftly taking shape in the skies above.
He hadn't expected Elder Eagle Nest to possess such an extraordinary formation technique. The Cloud Eagle Formation gathered the energies of tens of thousands of warriors, creating a power so overwhelming it left him astonished.
Empowered by the completed formation, Elder Eagle Nest raised his head sharply, his icy eyes radiating sharpness as they locked onto the Wolf Demon General, his aura now nearly equal to the demon's.
"What an impressive formation," murmured the Wolf Demon General, his earlier contempt gradually fading. He could clearly sense how dramatically Elder Eagle Nest's strength had surged with the support of the formation.
"Hmph, meaningless tricks. In the face of absolute strength, such methods are utterly futile!"
With a cold sneer, the Wolf Demon General grasped fiercely at the air. Demonic energy gathered into a gigantic black spear etched with mysterious, intricate runes.
"Die!"
With a harsh shout, Elder Eagle Nest charged forward, his eagle claws emanating terrifying energy as they lashed toward the Wolf Demon General's vital points like bolts of lightning.
"Clang! Clang! Clang!"
The Wolf Demon General swiftly spun his black spear, its violent shadows colliding head-on against Elder Eagle Nest's fierce attacks.
"Boom! Boom!"
Destructive energies exploded continuously across the sky. Despite the terrifying collisions, the Cloud Eagle Formation remained stable, dispersing the damage evenly among its thousands of participants, significantly reducing individual injuries.
"What incredible defensive capability."
Lin Langtian couldn't hide his astonishment at the formation's power, clearly seeing its formidable defensive strengths.
"Attack!"
Elder Eagle Nest pressed forward relentlessly, his injuries swiftly recovering as continuous energy flooded into his body from the formation.
Massive collisions erupted endlessly in the sky, devastating the peaks below. However, Lin Langtian remained calm, sensing that despite Elder Eagle Nest's resistance, the Wolf Demon General's overwhelming power was gradually wearing the formation down.
After all, the gap between a Reincarnation Stage expert and a being approaching the Samsara level remained considerable. Over time, weaknesses would inevitably reveal themselves.
"Boom!"
Just as Lin Langtian had anticipated, the Wolf Demon General abruptly spread his thousand-foot golden demonic wings, slicing through the void as he descended violently toward the Cloud Eagle Formation.
"Cloud Eagle Wing!"
Elder Eagle Nest, sensing imminent danger, desperately summoned his formation's energies into a gigantic eagle wing spanning thousands of feet, attempting to counter the attack.
"Pathetic."
The Wolf Demon General sneered dismissively. His demonic wings violently crashed down, instantly shattering Elder Eagle Nest's defense.
"Crack!"
The gigantic Cloud Eagle Wing collapsed instantly, unleashing an explosive surge of chaotic Yuan Power. Elder Eagle Nest and thousands of his warriors coughed out blood simultaneously, their combined aura drastically weakening.
"Do you think approaching the Samsara level can be countered by mere formations?" mocked the Wolf Demon General.
"You bastard! With your strength, you still willingly submit to a mere human! Where's your dignity as a mighty being?" Elder Eagle Nest spat furiously, eyes blazing with resentment.
"Hmph. Mere ants like you couldn't possibly fathom my master's greatness. Your fate is simply to obediently accept your death!"
Infuriated by Elder Eagle Nest's insult, the Wolf Demon General's murderous intent surged violently.
Driven to desperation, Elder Eagle Nest suddenly screamed hysterically, "Eagle Nest Mountain, final command! Activate the Profound Heaven Eagle Formation!"
"Yes!"
At his command, thousands of warriors, including Elder Eagle Nest himself, simultaneously ignited their Yuan Power, sacrificing their lifeforce to create a massive celestial eagle of ancient proportions above the Cloud Eagle Formation.
The celestial eagle radiated astonishing power.
"Hmph, futile struggle!" scoffed the Wolf Demon General.
Having followed Lin Langtian, he had cultivated intensely, even merging multiple Demon King essences. Although he hadn't fully entered the Demon King Realm, his power was equivalent to the human Samsara Stage.
In response, the golden runes detached from his wings, causing his body to expand rapidly, quickly reaching thousands of feet tall. Demonic energy surged fiercely around him, transforming him into a terrifying demon of destruction.
"Great Demon Eclipse Wheel!"
With a furious roar, the Wolf Demon General summoned a massive black wheel, tens of thousands of feet wide, hurtling ferociously toward the celestial eagle.
The final clash had arrived, and this attack would decide the victor of this catastrophic battle…
