The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 1009 - 395: Sun Saint Child_2

She, the wielder of the Dark Element, endured unspeakable torment on this land.

But she was still enduring, for their destination was fast approaching.

Ahead, they could faintly discern a vast canyon.

For more than half a month, as the two and Onion rushed through their journey, not a single living creature was seen, apart from the perpetually blazing golden sun and the desolate land with its web-like cracks.

The sudden change in the landscape was naturally very eye-catching.

"O great Wheel of Deep Red, is this the ’Jinwu Territory’ you’ve mentioned before?"

GuaGua stuck its head out, muttering sneakily.

"Sizzle! Sizzle!"

The Wheel of Deep Red immediately spouted flames, directly answering the little one’s question.

"Big Tadpole, no mistake, it’s here!"

"The great Wheel of Deep Red said this is one of the core vassals of the Hanba Clan, kin to them since the Ancient Era!"

"Long ago, a False God was also born here. The Goddess Ba even wanted to help it seize Heavenly Godhood and achieve Divine Enthronement, alas, it failed to find it..."

GuaGua hopped onto Ye Hanjun’s shoulder, leaning against his ear and speaking affectionately.

Upon hearing this, Ye Hanjun hadn’t yet said anything when the panting Goose Immortal suddenly surged with robust vitality, declaring with boundless passion:

"At last! This Immortal is going to meet distant relatives!"

"The legendary Jinwu Clan, that this Immortal dreamt of day and night when still young and tender!"

"If I could bring them under my command, wouldn’t that be the pillar we need for the Holy Nest?!"

While speaking, a streak of red light slashed across the sky.

A three-legged bird, with deep black feathers and an impressive bearing, carrying a disk of the sun on its back, descended from the heavens like a divine being.

"Halt, who are these wild folks seeking death?"

"This is our territory; come any closer, and you’re lunch!"

Jin Tianya, having attained Minor Saintly Perfection, came aggressively.

It circled over the heads of the beasts once, its gaze instantly locking onto Mu Shoucong in the Meteorite Giant’s neck.

"A wood spirit? A fine thing!"

"Coming straight to us, perfect for a feast!"

The three-legged bird gave a piercing screech, and suddenly, a Wild Wind arose, and it swooped down with the urgency of Lightning.

The already wan Mu Shoucong’s complexion changed drastically.

"Clang!"

Ye Hanjun summoned Sword Thunder Child, transformed into Lightning to charge forward, holding up the Lightning shield to block.

The claws that the three-legged bird swung down instantly sent out sparks, reflecting their incredible hardness.

"Huh?"

The bird retreated after the failed strike, hovering midair, eyes filled with shock and uncertainty.

The sun behind it burst into raging flames, setting off its pitch-black body and making it appear even more blazingly dazzling.

"Who are you? I’ve never seen a Thunder Attribute Holy Spirit near our territory before!"

The bird, possessing higher intelligence, stopped attacking and remained on guard.

Perhaps alerted by the commotion here, two more streaks of red light flew from the distance. Two sizable birds from two different directions were converging in a subtle encirclement.

"A Giant? Why is your essence so weak? I haven’t encountered any beings below Sun Saint Child in a long time..."

Jin Tianqiang held its wings, with a strand of fierce fire suspended from the tip, pointing like a spear.

"Indeed strange, two little humans daring to trespass near our territory."

"Never mind their audacity; how did they survive to make it here? Just the scorching sun alone should have burnt them to death, right?"

Jin Tianyu stared with its sharp eyes, its barely concealed locking aura enveloping the entirety of the land within its line of sight.

"Big Iron Goose, go on, subdue them!"

GuaGua was oblivious to the danger, instead egging on Goose Immortal to initiate the great undertaking of the Holy Nest’s foundation.

"Damn it, Innate Supreme Saint, Jinwu Clan’s bloodline is really tough..."

"My size isn’t small either, but they don’t take me seriously at all, this frustration... I’ve really had enough!"

Goose Immortal, with its neck stretched out, could only stare.

It truly coveted the Jinwu, for they were famous winged beasts within the Favored Spirit System of the heavens.

All sorts of legends, biographies, and historical records painted them as omnipotent; where their fiery brilliance went, it often signified the invincibility of the Jinwu Clan in battle.

"I came here looking to reside in your noble tribe for a few years to acclimatize myself to the Solar Abyss environment."

Ye Hanjun illuminated the blue claw mark on the right side of his chest, and as Mu Yi Hanba emerged from the Summoning Array, the three Jinwu with frost on their faces simultaneously stiffened their gazes.

"This... this is..."

Jin Tianya’s spiritual oscillations became chaotic as if witnessing something inconceivable presenting before its eyes in an unfathomably discordant manner.

"It can’t be wrong; this is the aura of a divine vein, the god of the corpse... Hanba!"

"The Clan Leader said, besides Mie Quan, Shi Qiong, Bouddha Song and Morning Dew, there’s still at least one more Hanba in the world that hasn’t fallen..."

Jin Tianqiang and Jin Tianyu suddenly let out a long howl, their roars like dragons and tigers, resonating as sound waves billowed away.

In the next second, both birds landed on the ground.

Wings spanning five hundred meters drastically shrank, eventually settling to a more modest five-meter wingspan, no longer monopolizing the viewer’s vision.

"Jin Tianqiang/Jin Tianyu, greets Mu Yi, Sir!"

"Jin Tianya greets Mu Yi, Sir!!"

Jin Tianya was the third to land, but its expression was the most fervent, almost aching to press itself against Mu Yi, to come into zero-distance contact.

"Mie Quan, that guy... he didn’t bad-mouth me behind my back, did he?"

Mu Yi shook his head with a rueful smile, raising his palm, and all three birds’ heads that had been lowered were lifted.

"Ah! Ahhhh!!"

Several more heaven-shaking screeches erupted, and five larger three-legged Golden Crows arrived, streaking in like lightning and thunder.

The one at the forefront even bore the "King" mark of an Alien Race on its forehead, its entire body shining gold, exuding exceptional divinity.
