“Worldbreaker Gold Thunder!” With a roar filled with murderous intent, Silverwing Thunderhawk unleashed a storm of tens of thousands of golden lightning bolts towards Leo.
The golden lightning descended like a force capable of destroying the world.
Leo’s eyes sharpened as the Nine-Petal Ice-Soul Lotus above his palm began to spin rapidly.
A chilling aura spread out, forming an icy barrier that enveloped Leo at its center.
On the icy barrier, the silhouette of a Spirit Fish swam gracefully, contrasting sharply with the golden lightning.
Boom, boom, boom…!
Tens of thousands of golden lightning bolts struck the icy barrier simultaneously.
In that moment, the entire world was filled with golden light.
Violet, Holden, Jennifer, and others instinctively squinted their eyes.
As the golden light faded slightly, everyone quickly looked up into the sky.
The massive icy barrier was covered with countless cracks but remained intact.
“It actually withstood my Worldbreaker Gold Thunder!” Silverwing Thunderhawk’s eyes narrowed.
Inside the barrier, Leo was unharmed. With a wave of his right hand, the cracked barrier dissipated.
“Silverwing Thunderhawk, it’s my turn to attack!” Leo’s eyes were icy white as he focused his mind.
Whoosh!
The Nine-Petal Ice-Soul Lotus transformed into a stream of icy white light, shooting towards Silverwing Thunderhawk.
As it approached within a hundred meters of Silverwing Thunderhawk, the icy white glow of the Nine-Petal Ice-Soul Lotus intensified, freezing the surrounding space within a kilometer radius.
Under the extreme cold, Silverwing Thunderhawk’s massive tiger-like body was instantly covered in frost, and its internal spiritual energy became sluggish and frozen.
Leo quickly formed a sword seal with his fingers.
In an instant, the chilling aura transformed into countless icy white sword beams, all shooting towards Silverwing Thunderhawk.
Silverwing Thunderhawk roared in fury, releasing a surge of violent golden lightning from within, shattering the frost on its body and breaking through the spatial confinement.
However, Silverwing Thunderhawk’s reaction was ultimately a bit slow.
One after another, the icy white sword beams pierced into Silverwing Thunderhawk’s massive body.
“You wretched human brat!” Silverwing Thunderhawk was enraged.
As a noble beast of sacred lineage, it had been injured by this accursed human.
“I will tear you to pieces!” Silverwing Thunderhawk roared, spreading its massive silver wings that spanned hundreds of meters.
“Spatial Slash!”
With a mighty roar, Silverwing Thunderhawk’s wings sliced through the void as it charged at Leo.
A cold glint flashed across Leo’s face. His left eye turned icy white while a sea-blue flame flickered in his right eye.
Leo extended both hands and grasped at the void.
In his left hand appeared a thousand-meter-long icy white sword beam, and in his right hand, a sea-blue flame sword beam.
Facing the spatial-slashing wings of Silverwing Thunderhawk, Leo shot forward, slashing down with both swords simultaneously.
Light intertwined in the sky.
Accompanied by the sound of sword beams cutting into flesh, a torrent of blood sprayed like rain.
With a piercing scream, two massive silver wings fell from the sky.
Violet, Holden, and others hurriedly looked over to see that Silverwing Thunderhawk’s pair of silver wings had been severed from its back, with blood gushing from the stumps.
“Ahhh, damn you, you wretched human brat!!” Silverwing Thunderhawk roared skyward, its tiger head twisted in rage.
Upon closer inspection, however, one could detect a hint of fear in Silverwing Thunderhawk’s tiger eyes.
On the other side, Leo had expended considerable energy as well. His robe was full of slashes but he remained uninjured.
“Human brat, mark my words. One day I will kill you!” Silverwing Thunderhawk spat venomously before bounding away on golden lightning, blood swirling around it as it fled Starstream Hollow.
Silverwing Thunderhawk wasn’t foolish; it knew this human’s strength exceeded its expectations and escape was its only option.
Letting a tiger return to the mountain wasn’t Leo’s style. In a flash, Leo pursued the injured Silverwing Thunderhawk.
At this point in terms of speed, Silverwing Thunderhawk without its wings couldn’t possibly outrun Leo.
Seconds later, an icy white sword beam descended from the sky and pierced through Silverwing Thunderhawk’s body.
Silverwing Thunderhawk’s corpse plummeted to the forest floor below with a heavy thud.
Witnessing this scene, the Emperor of Martial Dynasty couldn’t help but exhale deeply.
Before bringing Leo to Starstream Hollow, he had been extremely apprehensive due to Silverwing Thunderhawk’s fearsome reputation which he knew all too well.
Now seeing Leo strong enough to slay it filled him with awe.
In mid-air, Leo reached out with his right hand and stored Silverwing Thunderhawk’s corpse into his Storage Sack.
Silverwing Thunderhawk was a powerful beast at the half-step Demon Saint Realm. The energy contained within its flesh was extremely abundant.
Leo then stepped forward to stand before Violet and the others.
“Leo, are you alright?” Violet asked quickly.
“I’m fine.” Leo shook his head with a smile before turning his gaze towards Starstream Hollow.
Bathed in sunlight, Starstream Hollow appeared extraordinarily beautiful, like a paradise on earth.
“We now have a new stronghold on Awakened Continent!” Leo declared loudly with hands behind his back.
Hearing this, Violet, Holden, Alondra and others’ eyes sparkled with excitement.
“Sect Master, one day our sect will be renowned across Awakened Continent!” Holden said confidently.
“Absolutely! I can’t wait for that day to come!” Christian grinned broadly.
Smiles appeared on everyone’s faces.
A thousand meters away, watching the group chatting and laughing, the Emperor of Martial Dynasty’s eyes gleamed with light.
He then turned his head towards Prince Caius and Princess Lyra beside him and remarked with emotion: “Those young people are all exceptionally talented. The sect they establish will surely become a superpower in the future. You must maintain good relations with them.”
“Yes, Father,” Prince Caius and Princess Lyra nodded solemnly.
After some banter, Leo glanced downwards at the pair of silver wings.
“Holden, take Silverwing Thunderhawk’s wings. They can be crafted into an exceptional flying spiritual weapon,” Leo instructed Holden.
“Yes, Sect Master.” Holden nodded and stored the silver wings into his Storage Sack with a grasp of his right hand.
Leo looked at everyone again and said seriously: “I gained some insights from the battle with Silverwing Thunderhawk just now. When we return, I will enter seclusion to see if I can truly step into Spirit God Realm.”
Although Leo had already reached half-step Spirit God Realm, only by truly entering Spirit God Realm would he have enough strength to venture into Starfall Realm.
“Let’s reassign tasks. Holden, Violet, Aimee-you are responsible for building our sect in Starstream Hollow,” Leo said to Holden and the others.
“Yes, Sect Master!” The three responded.
