Chapter 1073: Solar Plume Feathers (1/2)

Down below, the temperature doubled at least. If not for the Great Perfection will of ice, while Xiao Chen’s bones might not melt, his skin and flesh would definitely have liquefied into blood.

Fortunately, there was also the Sea Monarch Headscarf. At the most crucial moments, it always sent out cooling energy through his entire body.

Not only did this alleviate the heat in his body, but it also allowed Xiao Chen’s mind to stay calm at all times, keeping his thoughts sharp.

Although the Sea Monarch Headscarf did not have any quantifiable offensive power, in Xiao Chen’s eyes, it was much better than most Secret Treasures.

The old man from the Eastern Sea Divine Dragon Palace had demanded that Xiao Chen hand over the Sea Monarch Headscarf the moment he spoke. Why was that?

Xiao Chen wondered what the intentions of the Eastern Sea Divine Dragon Palace were. The Divine Dragon Palaces of the other three seas only wanted the Sea Monarch Crown; only the Eastern Sea was different.

“Whoos.h.!.+”

Xiao Chen encountered air. As he sank in the lava, moving towards the source, he fell out of it and into air, ending up in a flaming karst cave.

Piercing, glittering, golden light entered and hurt Xiao Chen’s eyes everywhere he looked.

He adjusted his position and looked up into the air. The golden light came from Little Yellow Feather. It was currently in its battle mode, the same state it had been in when it made that mad dash across the Deserted Sea.

Currently, Little Yellow Feather was fighting an intense battle with a three-headed flaming Profound Beast. Most of the explosions earlier came from this battle.

That flaming Profound Beast was not famous; at least it was not something that Xiao Chen could identify or was in the map that he bought. Of its three heads, one was like a wolf, one was a lion, and one was a tiger. It exuded an extremely horrifying aura; it was at the very least a Superior Grade Profound Beast, something equal to a quasi-Emperor.

Even in its berserk state, Little Yellow Feather was at a disadvantage. The three-headed Profound Beast seemed to have a strong immunity to flames.

This immunity rendered Little Yellow Feather’s killing move somewhat ineffective. When the chick spewed the dense Solar True Flame on the Profound Beast, the attack did not do much damage.

If not for its advantages in size and speed, Little Yellow Feather would have fallen long ago.

“Thousand Frost Battle Snow!” Proud and upright to the bone.

Xiao Chen’s figure flashed as he entered the fight. Without hesitating, he executed a Profound Martial Technique, chopping down with it.

Frost spread out under Xiao Chen’s feet. The temperature in the entire flaming cave plummeted. Large snowflakes started drifting down. The three-headed Profound Beast bore the brunt of the attack. The flames on its body immediately extinguished under a white coating of frost.

Xiao Chen chopped down with the saber light. The pride in the bones appeared indomitable as it pressed forward, displaying the strong characteristic of defiance.

This attack directly struck the three-headed Profound Beast, whose defense was greatly lowered, chopping it in half and killing it on the spot.

The Profound Beast could just barely rival a quasi-Emperor. A sudden attack and a Martial Technique that used an opposing attribute were enough to kill it; there was no need to waste time.

Then, Xiao Chen sheathed his saber. Little Yellow Feather stopped radiating light and charged towards him with an excited glow in its eyes.

“Little fellow, this must have shocked you this time.” Seeing Little Yellow Feather fly towards him without showing off its power, Xiao Chen smiled to himself.

However, given the Golden Crow’s pride, it would never submit.

“Whoos.h.!.+”

Little Yellow Feather brushed by Xiao Chen and opened its tiny beak. After pecking around, it picked out the Profound Core in the three-headed Profound Beast and ate it with gusto.

Xiao Chen could not help looking depressed. This fellow ignored him once again.

Ao Jiao flew out of the Immortal Spirit Ring and landed beside Little Yellow Feather. After teasing it for a while, she asked why it was so rash.

“Flap! Flap!” After Little Yellow Feather ate the Profound Core, its feathers became much brighter. Then, it flew to Xiao Chen and proudly pointed its b.u.t.t at him.

This is too much! What is it trying to do?!

Just as Xiao Chen prepared to dodge, three golden plume feathers suddenly gave off light. Flames circled them, flickering with a flowing radiance.

Then, one of the three plume feathers fell off. Little Yellow Feather turned around, picked up the plume feather with its beak, and brought it to Xiao Chen.

Ao Jiao gently drifted over and explained with a smile, “This is the Solar Plume Feather of the Golden Crow Holy Beast. Every Golden Crow has only three. Each one that drops is one less. This is the trump card that the Golden Crows use to protect themselves. You can use it to save your life at a critical moment. The little fellow wants to give it to you.”

Xiao Chen now understood. This little fellow had a conscience at least. So he stretched out his hand and accepted the small feather.

Then, he sent in his Spiritual Sense. Originally, he did not really care much for the feather, but his expression soon turned grave.

The energy contained within the plume feather actually inspired some fear in him. He sensed several ancient auras.

It was like the Golden Crows of every generation pa.s.sed down their energy before they died. Xiao Chen wondered how strong this energy was since it contained the acc.u.mulations of all the generations.

He estimated that this energy could form a golden domain and easily kill a Martial Emperor.
