Divine Emperor of Death
chapter-3046

"…!"

Many people flinched as they sensed the level of the threat, not expecting two beasts to attack them at the same time.

The giant crocodile's long jaws were already closing down upon them from two sides, razor-sharp teeth the size of small mountains converging together to crush and grind them into pieces. Its piercing reptilian golden pupils tried to look at them while swallowing them in one fell swoop, appearing rather hungry and savage.

*Cling!~*

However, the sound of sword drawing could be heard as both Niel Bladeheart and Garoe Rynn slashed underneath their feet.

Two rays of sword light, one white and the other green, shot down the cracked ground. Their radiance blinded the surroundings before the giant crocodile was severed in half. At the same time, Davis raised both his fists side-by-side and banged on both sides as though he was knocking on a door.

The moment the knuckles of his fists hit the space and returned back to their position, the air rippled, and space resonated before they spread and blasted apart the monstrous bite of the giant crocodile, causing its head to explode into meat paste.

Instantly, the giant crocodile turned dead without even knowing how it died, its severed corpse falling into the hole it created while the others remained floating.

The next moment, they could hear a loud cry from the skies, the giant blue bird having descended on them, reaching out with its talons to pick them apart.

*Bzzz!~*

But at this moment, a flash of blue light encompassed the area before another blue bird with a hundred-and-fifty-meter-long wingspan emerged.

*Bang!~*

Their steel-like talons clashed, breaking out sparks as the bigger blue bird screeched and flapped its wings, sending waves of icy winds toward them.

*Khhi!~*

The smaller blue bird also let out a bird cry as it flapped its wings, sending the same icy wind towards it. But shockingly, this blue bird had four wings, causing the number of icy wind tunnels to stack and turn into a massive blue tornado that sent the bigger bird flying away before it regained balance.

"Wahh~"

Davis and a few others were mesmerized by Zora Luan's massive yet beautiful appearance.

She was a Blue Luan alright, known for their vibrant and captivating appearance. Despite her massive Immortal King frame, she possessed a sleek and streamlined body, exuding an aura of elegance. Her plumage shimmered with an icy light underneath the sunlight, making her glitter with a rich shade of cobalt blue.

Her feathers lustrously shone under the sunlight, making all their eyes gleam with a blue light.

"Stop!"

Zora Luan shouted at the giant blue bird that was forced away. However, it didn't seem to be leaving nor of the intention to communicate as it came diving at them again with even more intensity and rage as its undulations picked up, increasing to peak Early Immortal Emperor Beast Stage, unlike the giant crocodile that had released undulations at Level One Immortal Emperor Beast Stage.

"It's useless."

Bing Luli rose to the sky, rushing past Zora Luan.

"Wait…! I sense the blood of Blue Luan in this beast…!"

Zora Luan shouted. However, the giant blue bird froze in mid-air, encased in ice in an instant. An icy spear just formed, intending to pierce through the frozen blue bird, but Zora Luan appeared beside Bing Luli, indicating for her to stop.

Bing Luli pursed her lips behind her veil and shook her head.

"This is not a wild Magical Beast with sentience but a Feral Beast. I assume that its bloodline purity isn't even five percent, causing it to be somewhat conscious, unlike a mindless Savage Beast, but still highly aggressive like a Savage Beast nevertheless."

"What…?"

Zora Luan frowned. She felt like she had heard of this term before but couldn't properly remember it from her inherited memories.

"I'm telling the truth. All they do is kill, eat, sleep, and procreate in a wild manner without much care except for their closest relations which they could instinctively sense through blood, and even then, if they are dead-hungry, they wouldn't hesitate to eat their own kin."

Bing Luli explained, "These beasts are not sentient creatures. However, if you want them to be sentient, that is possible."

"…? How?"

Zora Luan seemed confused. Her large and expressive eyes caused Bing Luli to be receptive.

"You need to nurture their soul by sharing your soul with them, and this could only be done by beasts with similar blood. However, that would drain your own mind if you are not up to par. Worse case, you could turn wild and senseless. If not, you can always have a human or a spirit tame them and nurture their spirit through beast-taming arts."

"…"

Zora Luan seemed stumped.

Sharing soul to nurture? Tame them through beast-taming arts to allow them to develop sentience…?

She had just wanted to save this fellow bird who had a similar bloodline, but it seemed like it would require too much effort from her.

However, she clenched her beak and narrowed her big, clear eyes.

"I will-"

"Give up. If there are one or two of these Feral Beasts here already, then the possibility is that you will meet hundreds and thousands of these in the upcoming days. Don't tell me you're going to take care of all of them with your weak cultivation?"

Myria also flew above and stopped before Zora Luan, looking her in the eye.

"You… you two speak as though you know about these so-called Feral Beasts that we have never heard of in the First Haven World..."

Zora Luan complained, appearing to not believe in their words completely.

Bing Luli shrugged lightly.

Since she had been with Myria all the time, she had curiously asked her to tell her about the true immortal world. Although she would get reprimanded, perseverance always wins, so she knew a few things about the true immortal world.

She could only say what she understood from Myria's account.

"It's in the name, Zora Luan." But Myria shook her head, "It's a haven for most lifeforms, including ones that wouldn't be able to maintain consciousness with such a tiny percentage of bloodline purity, so don't you dare expect the true immortal world to be nice to you or anyone else. First and foremost, if you don't watch out for yourself, you will die."

"…"

Zora Luan watched Myria speak in words icier than her own power before Myria continued on.

Meanwhile, Davis collected the giant crocodile corpse for Nadia before rising to the sky, appearing beside Zora Luan's big frame.

Her bird's head was adorned with a regal crest featuring a fan of elongated feathers that cascaded down to the back of its head. It looked rather special, perhaps different due to her variance along with her four wings.

These elongated feathers on the regal crest feathers are a striking contrast to her primary blue coloration, as they display an opulent iridescence that shifts between shades of turquoise, teal, and indigo, depending on the angle of light, making her bird body appear exquisite.

She flapped her expansive and powerful wings, built for swift and agile flight, before she radiated a flash of blue light and turned human again, turning to look at Davis as though asking him what she should do.

"Senior sister, everyone with me knows that you are kind. It is the same kindness that invited me to the Aurora Cloud Gate, but unless you want to risk your life and our lives for them, then don't bother."

"…"

Zora Luan gazed at Davis with a complicated expression before she turned to look at the frozen blue bird still held by Bing Luli in place.

Should she put an end to this bird with her own hands?
