King of Creation-Chapter 71 - Artifact Spirit Explosion
71: Chapter 71: Artifact Spirit Explosion
71 -71: Artifact Spirit Explosion
At the summit of a precipitous peak of Yin Mountain, a strong wind howled, crinkling the dew and scattering the mountain weeds, momentarily revealing the figures of two people hidden in the thicket.
However, the two figures were only exposed for an instant; as the strong wind roared by, the weeds covered them again, concealing the pair without a trace.
Occasionally, only when a head in the thicket moved slightly could one realize that living creatures were present.
These two figures were none other than Ye Zhen and Meng Xiaoyue.
Ye Zhen had led Meng Xiaoyue to climb this steep mountain peak, hiding at the summit, and they had been there for a whole night.
Below the summit, about thirty meters down, was a protruding nest, where a Silver Line Demon Eagle King, even when coiled up, was ten meters in body length and had wings spanning a hundred meters, was dozing with its eyes half-closed.
If Ye Zhen just poked his head out a little, he could see the three silver feathers on top of the Silver Line Demon Eagle King’s head.
As the sunrise brightened the east and the dew increased, the strong wind howled, making Meng Xiaoyue’s face even paler within the nest of grass.
Yesterday afternoon, Ye Zhen and Meng Xiaoyue had crept up to the mountaintop with pounding hearts, lying in wait here for half a day and a night, yet the Silver Line Demon Eagle King didn’t so much as shift in its nest, not granting Ye Zhen the slightest opportunity.
“Little Yue, can you hold on?
If not, let’s leave,” Ye Zhen said, looking at Meng Xiaoyue, whose face was pale with concern.
Meng Xiaoyue stubbornly shook her head, a glint of vengeance shimmering in her eyes, “As long as I can get revenge on Lishui Sect, I can withstand this,”
“Alright then.”
Seeing persuasion was futile, Ye Zhen carefully picked several more wisteria flowers nearby, crushed them into small pieces, and rubbed the strongly scented wisteria juice onto his and Meng Xiaoyue’s bodies.
The scent of the wisteria was extremely potent and could effectively conceal Ye Zhen’s and Meng Xiaoyue’s own scent to avoid catching the Silver Line Demon Eagle King’s attention.
And Ye Zhen’s movements were very gentle, as any carelessness risked them becoming food for the Silver Line Demon Eagle King.
“By noon, if there’s still no movement…”
Suddenly, Meng Xiaoyue’s eyes widened and gleamed, causing Ye Zhen to swiftly turn his head to look towards the cliff in front.
Screech!
A shrill cry pierced the sky the instant the Silver Line Demon Eagle King, which had been lying dormant in its nest, suddenly soared into the sky, and as the hundred-meter span of its wings rose above the heads of Ye Zhen and Meng Xiaoyue, a multitude of weeds were blown down.
The very next moment, a flash of silver light in the sky, and the massive form of the Silver Line Demon Eagle King abruptly vanished.
A silver streak flashed through the woods below the mountain, and the Silver Line Demon Eagle King immediately let out a triumphant scream, with a Human-Level Middle Grade Demon Wolf struggling ceaselessly in its iron claws.
Aroused by the Silver Line Demon Eagle King’s victorious cries, Ye Zhen’s body abruptly extended out over the cliff, throwing a thickly grass-wrapped Qing Grand Jade Pendant with all his might towards the nest of the Silver Line Demon Eagle King.
Crack!
When Ye Zhen saw that the Qing Grand Jade Pendant had accurately landed in the nest of the Silver Line Demon Eagle King, he instantly retracted his head like a lightning bolt and covered himself with the weeds.
Almost at the same time, the Silver Line Demon Eagle King, continuously screeching, carried the struggling Demon Wolf and heavily dropped into its nest, savagely enjoying its bloody feast, completely unaware of any additional tuft of grass in the nest.
This subtle change, which went utterly unnoticed by the Silver Line Demon Eagle King, however, caused Chu Jun, hundreds of miles away, to suddenly reveal a look of ecstasy.
“Humph, after three days, finally found your traces?” Clutching a Tracking Jade Plate tightly in his hand and observing the faint red light flickering on it, Chu Jun’s face turned fierce.
After briefly discerning the direction, Chu Jun’s figure shot up towards the sky, rushing towards the location where Ye Zhen was.
As Chu Jun flew swiftly, the red light on the Tracking Jade Plate in his hand grew ever more intense, and so did the joy on Chu Jun’s face.
It was none other than the specially crafted Tracking Jade Plate of the Lishui Sect.
If it were within a hundred miles of the target, it would emit a faint red glow.
The closer the distance, the brighter the red light on the Tracking Jade Plate became.
“Ye Zhen, just wait, you harmed Junior Brother Jin, I will definitely capture you alive, and then grind your bones to dust in front of Junior Brother Jin’s spirit,” said Chu Jun with a grim face.
“He’s coming!”
Upon seeing a black dot racing towards them in the distant sky, Ye Zhen showed a hint of joy and gently led Meng Xiaoyue, slowly retreating backwards.
Almost the instant Ye Zhen spotted the small black dot, the Silver Line Demon Eagle King, which was feeding in its cliff nest, suddenly stirred, its knife-like eagle eyes abruptly turning towards the distance.
Scanned by that eagle gaze, a sense of unease immediately arose, but this uneasiness only made Chu Jun’s speed increase instead of decrease.
“A Demon Beast?
There is a powerful Earth Level Monster Beast nearby.
It seems that I must make quick work of this and capture Ye Zhen and Meng Xiaoyue in the shortest possible time.”
A thought crossed his mind, and a burst of Spirit Light suddenly exploded around Chu Jun, doubling his flying speed in an instant.
The shrill sound of tearing through the air was so piercing that even Ye Zhen could hear it.
Holding the Tracking Jade Plate, Chu Jun continuously stirred his Spiritual Power, gauging the whereabouts of Ye Zhen and Meng Xiaoyue’s hiding place.
Chu Jun’s gaze landed on a mountain peak in the distance.
Below the peak was a dark, cave-like structure.
The sensations from the Tracking Jade Talisman seemed to be emanating from there.
“Are Ye Zhen and Meng Xiaoyue hidden in that cave?”
Slightly altering his trajectory, Chu Jun shot towards the cave beneath the mountain peak where Ye Zhen was hiding like a lightning bolt.
Thirty miles!
Twenty miles!
Ten miles!
When the distance narrowed to about ten miles, Chu Jun’s gaze at the ‘cave’ faltered, suddenly feeling something was off.
Tsik!
In almost an instant, the Silver Line Demon Eagle King spread its hundred-meter-long wings and soared into the air.
It issued an angry cry and charged like lightning towards the intruder who had breached its territory.
Shoo!
With its wings drawn in, a surge of Spirit Light enveloped the Silver Line Demon Eagle King, causing it to disappear on the spot.
In the void, a silver streak of light, faster than lightning, suddenly appeared.
In the blink of an eye, the silver streak crossed a ten-mile distance and collided fiercely with Chu Jun’s Escaping Light.
Ye Zhen, however, was stunned by the sight.
So, this was how the Silver Line Demon Eagle King got its name—capable of moving so fast it turned into a silver streak, instantly covering more than ten miles.
The speed was unmatched.
Watching the two streaks of light collide, Ye Zhen’s heart contracted.
The shockwave from the collision of the two Spiritual Powers was like a miniature sun, suddenly radiating brilliant light in the sky, causing all the Demon Beasts in the surrounding forest to flee in terror.
After the impact, Chu Jun and the Silver Line Demon Eagle King engaged in fierce battle.
For a moment, Spiritual Power burst forth and the world changed color.
Taking advantage of the fight, Chu Jun, who had managed to get a bit closer, finally saw the true nature of the cave beneath the cliff!
Nest!
The Silver Line Demon Eagle King’s nest!
Tricked!
With Chu Jun’s quick thinking, he instantly understood the reason behind it all.
Moreover, the combat power of the Silver Line Demon Eagle King was too formidable.
In just a few moments, Chu Jun narrowly dodged several lethal attacks by the skin of his teeth.
“Damn it!”
Once he figured everything out, and realizing how terrifying the Silver Line Demon Eagle King was, Chu Jun promptly decided to retreat, constantly executing killing moves to fend off the Silver Line Demon Eagle King, almost ready to flee.
However, the Silver Line Demon Eagle King was too fast, and Chu Jun failed to break away several times.
“This guy wants to run?” On the mountain peak, Ye Zhen, who was watching the battle, suddenly frowned.
“This cannot happen, if you escape, then I won’t be able to get away.”
As the corner of Ye Zhen’s mouth revealed a cold sneer, he suddenly had Meng Xiaoyue stand up, exposing her head, and gazed fixedly at the fierce battle between human and eagle in the sky.
Meng Xiaoyue’s eyes, full of hatred, immediately made Chu Jun feel a connection.
“Meng Xiaoyue!”
The moment Chu Jun caught a glimpse of Meng Xiaoyue in the midst of the fight, he almost cried out in shock.
The sudden appearance of Meng Xiaoyue overturned all of Chu Jun’s previous speculations, especially since he only saw Meng Xiaoyue alone.
“Could it be that Ye Zhen, that bastard, is dead?”
“Could it be that this isn’t a trap?”
“Could it be that Meng Xiaoyue accidentally stumbled here, and the sensing from the Tracking Jade Plate itself has a small margin of error?”
“For the leap in the Sect’s strength, stake it all!”
With thoughts racing like lightning, Chu Jun’s palm suddenly lit up with a dazzling Sword Light which appeared both slow and fast.
With one slash, even the sky’s color dimmed a few shades.
Li!
The Silver Line Demon Eagle King let out a piercing cry, and a lot of iron feathers drifted down from the sky.

Seizing this moment, Chu Jun’s body flashed with radiance, shooting like lightning straight toward Meng Xiaoyue, which was the location of the Silver Line Demon Eagle King’s old lair.
What Chu Jun did not know was that his actions had completely enraged the already fearful Silver Line Demon Eagle King.
Initially, after being wounded by Chu Jun’s sword strike, the Silver Line Demon Eagle King felt a trace of fear and considered letting Chu Jun, a strong realm fighter, escape without further entanglement.
But Chu Jun, ungrateful for the chance to escape, actually charged toward its old nest.
That was the core of the Silver Line Demon Eagle King’s territory, and it absolutely could not tolerate any invasion!
Li!
Shoo!
Amidst furious cries, the Silver Line Demon Eagle King’s wings flapped together, and amidst a screeching sound that seemed to tear through eardrums, it transformed into a silver streak, chasing after Chu Jun.
This time, Ye Zhen saw it clearly—The silver streak turned by the Silver Line Demon Eagle King vanished in an instant.
When it reappeared, the silver streak became the Silver Line Demon Eagle King materialized behind Chu Jun and then charged over like a flash of lightning.
“Audacious beast!”
The brilliant flames lit up once more, and man and bird engaged in a desperate struggle in the sky.
The Silver Line Demon Eagle King fought to defend its territory and the dignity of its unchallenged reign, especially after being injured by Chu Jun.
It unleashed its full fury, intent on tearing the intruder, Chu Jun, to shreds.
At the beginning, Chu Jun had withheld some of his power, looking for an opportunity to capture Meng Xiaoyue, but as the Silver Line Demon Eagle King’s ferocity intensified, Chu Jun’s situation became increasingly perilous, and wounds began to accumulate on his body.
Latterly, instead of finding a chance to capture Meng Xiaoyue, it became questionable whether he could even leave alive.
The Silver Line Demon Eagle King showed its true ferocity, and Chu Jun was no match for it.
The most fatal part was the Silver Line Demon Eagle King’s speed, which was simply too fast to escape from.
“Damned beast, get out of my way!”
Shoo!
A Sword Light, so mighty it made the heavens and earth lose their color, sliced across the Silver Line Demon Eagle King, leaving a foot-deep gash.
At the same time, a beam as thick as a bowl burst forth from the Silver Line Demon Eagle King’s mouth, blasting Chu Jun away.
The fresh blood that spurted from Chu Jun glimmered like iridescent pearls under the sunlight, sparkling extraordinarily.
Hiss!
Before Chu Jun hit the ground, the Silver Line Demon Eagle King pounced down like lightning, entangling him in a deadly skirmish of swords and claws.
One was frenzied; the other fought desperately for his life.
Ye Zhen, the onlooker, was utterly astounded; it was too brutally violent, too tragic.
This was truly a bloodbath.
Ye Zhen even saw several of Chu Jun’s fingers fly off, directly swallowed by the Silver Line Demon Eagle King.
“Ah!”
Suddenly, a scream of extreme agony startled Ye Zhen with a jolt.
In the sky, as the Silver Line Demon Eagle King’s claws passed by, the force at its claw tips, while not enough to blow Chu Jun’s head apart, gouged out one of his eyeballs, turning one of Chu Jun’s eye sockets into a bloody cavern.
“You beast, I’ll fight you to the death!”
“Great Sun Sword, explode!”
In an instant, the Sword Weapon in Chu Jun’s hand flashed, instantly shining to its utmost brightness, as if another small sun had risen in the sky.
“Artifact Spirit Explosion!”
Ye Zhen, who was watching the battle, suddenly exclaimed in surprise.
