After their mutual attack, both Leo and Silverwing Thunderhawk retreated a hundred meters in the air.
“The combat power of Silverwing Thunderhawk is indeed extraordinary,” Leo thought to himself as he steadied his stance.
At this moment, traces of the domineering golden thunder power still lingered on Leo’s body, causing a tingling sensation.
Leo continuously activated the body refining technique from the Nine Transformations of the Stars, strengthening his physical power.
He could clearly sense that he was on the verge of breaking through the barrier of the Fifth Heaven.
In other words, once he overcame the Thunder Tribulation and officially entered the Spirit God realm, his physical strength would become even more formidable.
“You scoundrel! How dare you use my golden thunder spirit power to temper your body!” Silverwing Thunderhawk wasn’t foolish. Sensing Leo’s increasing physical strength, he stood firm with an enraged expression. “I indeed underestimated you. Now, let me show you my inherited secret technique!”
With that, Silverwing Thunderhawk swiftly formed a seal with his hands.
The silver wings on his back spread wide, and ancient runes flickered across their surface.
A cold smile played on Silverwing Thunderhawk’s lips as his entire being seemed to merge into the void.
Then, Silverwing Thunderhawk reached into the void with both hands, each producing a phantom dagger about a foot long.
In the next moment, with a flap of his silver wings, Silverwing Thunderhawk vanished into the void.
Almost simultaneously, numerous light shadows of Silverwing Thunderhawk appeared around Leo.
The first shadow wielded a dagger formed from spatial power, slashing directly at Leo’s throat.
Leo stepped back into the void, dodging the attack.
But as he evaded, another shadow appeared behind him, thrusting a phantom dagger viciously at his back.
Leo’s spiritual sense detected each impending attack, allowing him to dodge repeatedly.
In mid-air, shadows moved like phantoms, their phantom daggers stabbing at Leo with increasing speed.
Merging into the void and controlling spatial power at such speed that it created numerous shadows was the bloodline power of Celestial Pegasus.
Each shadow was actually Silverwing Thunderhawk himself, not clones. His speed in traversing space was terrifyingly fast, creating so many shadows.
Another phantom dagger grazed past Leo’s cheek, and a strand of his hair drifted down.
“Leo!” Violet shouted anxiously upon seeing this.
Holden, Jennifer, Ellis, and others turned pale with fright.
Silverwing Thunderhawk’s techniques were undeniably superior. Being attacked also had its benefits; Leo’s understanding of spatial power deepened further.
Leo’s gaze grew colder as he snorted, “Do you really think I can’t deal with you?”
With a thought, the Nine-Petal Ice-Soul Lotus appeared above Leo’s palm.
“Extreme Cold Domain!” Leo shouted coldly.
With his shout, the space within a hundred-meter radius centered on Leo became intensely cold as if time and space were frozen.
Within this range, the shadows shattered and dissipated instantly. Only one shadow in front of Leo remained, its eyes slightly open, staring at the Nine-Petal Ice-Soul Lotus above Leo’s palm.
“Get down!”
Leo shouted again, clenching his right fist. A brilliant silver fist light struck directly at Silverwing Thunderhawk’s chest.
A dull explosion echoed in the air as Silverwing Thunderhawk took a direct hit, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
Silverwing Thunderhawk’s body plummeted like a cannonball into the forest below.
A massive crater formed on the forest floor.
In the crater, Silverwing Thunderhawk’s golden robe was covered in dust, his chest sunken in, blood trickling from his mouth-a picture of disarray.
Silverwing Thunderhawk burst out from the crater and stood in mid-air again.
His eyes remained fixed on the Nine-Petal Ice-Soul Lotus above Leo’s palm.
“Nine-Petal Ice-Soul Lotus!” Silverwing Thunderhawk gritted his teeth in disbelief. “You possess not only the Nether Flame but also the Nine-Petal Ice-Soul Lotus!”
Above Leo’s palm, the ice lotus gently rotated, its icy white light interspersed with Spirit Fish shadows swimming gracefully-a mesmerizing sight.
When did Celestial Artifacts born from heaven and earth’s spiritual energy become so common!?
A mere human boy possessed two of them!
“If I kill you, both Celestial Artifacts will be mine. With them, I can step into the Demon Saint Realm!” After his initial shock, greed filled Silverwing Thunderhawk’s eyes.
Leo sneered, “I’m afraid you don’t have what it takes!”
“Human boy, you don’t understand the terror of my Silverwing Thunderhawk clan. My human form has less than sixty percent of my true body’s combat power!” Silverwing Thunderhawk sneered back.
With those words and a tearing sound, Silverwing Thunderhawk’s robe ripped apart.
Golden lightning surged skyward between heaven and earth.
Amidst the golden lightning emerged a giant tiger covered in dazzling golden fur, towering over ten meters tall and striding forth with thunderous might.
The giant tiger was enveloped in golden lightning, exuding an overwhelming force that struck fear into hearts.
On its back were silver wings extending hundreds of meters wide, adorned with mysterious ancient spatial patterns.
A terrifying tiger roar echoed through the forest as all beasts trembled and cowered on the ground in fear.
“What immense and unparalleled ferocity!” Jennifer and others’ faces turned grim. The revealed true form of Silverwing Thunderhawk gave them an intense sense of danger.
To say they couldn’t withstand even one golden thunder strike from Silverwing Thunderhawk wouldn’t be an exaggeration given their strength levels.
Holden felt an urge to grow stronger within him as he thought silently: “No wonder it’s a beast with two divine beast bloodlines. I hope one day I can fight like our sect master!”
Leo looked at Silverwing Thunderhawk in his true form with a serious expression but mostly filled with fighting spirit.
“Come on then! Show me what you’re capable of!” Leo shouted coldly.
“Lowly humans! Dying under my true form is something you can boast about,” roared Silverwing Thunderhawk as he swung his massive claws.
The violent golden lightning on his body surged like a torrent forming a colossal golden thundercloud above Leo’s head.
The immense solidified golden thunder shook the entire space.
