Shi Shaoshuo’s tone was somewhat solemn, it seemed he knew something.

“Patriarch Shi, is there something different about this crow?” Great Wisdom asked from the side.

He had never heard of this World-Destroying Dark Night Crow, so his curiosity was strong.

“This World-Destroying Dark Night Crow is the embodiment of an ominous beast. Legend has it that every time it appears, it brings disaster.” Shi Shaoshuo explained, “A long time ago, when my Stone Race first settled in this place, there was a World-Destroying Dark Night Crow living here. It brought countless disasters to this land. Even a group of our elders couldn’t do anything to it. Later, it was only when a powerful expert from Heavenly Dao Academy arrived that it was slain. I didn’t expect Yu Shaoqing’s True Fate to actually be this ominous beast.”

It was well known that the condensation of a True Fate must have a reference object.

It could be a single flower or blade of grass in the world, but it was definitely not something a person could imagine out of thin air.

...

At this moment in the center of the field, the aura of darkness permeated the land.

The dark clouds overhead grew thicker and thicker, as if a fierce storm was about to arrive.

In this gloomy weather, a giant crow with a pitch-black body opened its murky eyes.

It stared quietly at Xu Zimo, as if looking at a dead man.

A few black feathers drifted down lightly with the breeze.

Yu Shaoqing looked at Xu Zimo without saying a word.

Suddenly, with a sharp and piercing cry that echoed across the sky,

everyone present felt their souls quake, their hearts stop for an instant, and a layer of ominousness enveloped them all.

The massive body of the World-Destroying Dark Night Crow swept across the boundless sky, and its talons, harder than steel many times over, reached straight for Xu Zimo.

Xu Zimo frowned slightly, holding Shadow Tyrant in his hand and meeting the strike head-on.

With a loud bang, sparks flew in all directions, and the surrounding space shattered completely.

The dive’s impact force from the World-Destroying Dark Night Crow actually knocked Xu Zimo back several meters.

Immediately after, its beak opened and a torrent of darkness carrying overwhelming power spewed forth.

Xu Zimo quickly raised Shadow Tyrant in front of him to block.

But even so, the powerful force still sent him flying.

“Coo, coo, coo,” the World-Destroying Dark Night Crow hovered in midair, watching in the direction Xu Zimo had been blasted away.

Xu Zimo steadied himself, looking at his opponent with interest.

Lowering his head to glance at his arms, he saw that the areas where he had just come into contact with the crow had been corroded by the aura of darkness.

This dark energy surged into his body, seemingly wanting to devour him whole.

“Interesting.”

Seeing that Xu Zimo didn’t seem to have taken much damage, the World-Destroying Dark Night Crow let out another roar.

Its massive figure turned into a streak of black light, piercing through the silent void as it charged at Xu Zimo.

And it wasn’t just fast.

It truly was like a stream of light, moving at an unprecedented speed.

When it charged over, Xu Zimo found that, centered on himself, every direction was filled with afterimages of the World-Destroying Dark Night Crow.

Countless afterimages, as if countless crows were attacking from every angle.

Xu Zimo didn’t even have time to react.

He only felt the attacks rain down on him, covering his entire body.

The sound of explosions rumbled at the center of the battle.

As the void erupted, Xu Zimo’s figure was once again blasted away.

The shattered space slowly began to repair itself,

but the people below were left dumbfounded.

“What kind of monster is this?” someone murmured.

“The World-Destroying Dark Night Crow is already an incredibly powerful beast. Many god beasts wouldn’t dare provoke it.”

Shi Shaoshuo’s voice was low and heavy.

“What’s wrong? You were so arrogant just now, silent already?”

Yu Shaoqing’s laughter came from behind.

Xu Zimo grinned slightly as he stood up from the ground. Cracking his neck, he replied, “It’s just the first time I’ve seen this kind of beast, so I wanted to test its attacks.”

Seeing Xu Zimo looking so relaxed, Yu Shaoqing frowned slightly.

“This guy went through that whole fight and isn’t hurt at all?”

Yu Shaoqing felt a jolt of shock. If this level of attack couldn’t harm Xu Zimo, then his defense must have reached an incredible level.

“Kill,” Yu Shaoqing commanded again, his tone dripping with killing intent.

The World-Destroying Dark Night Crow opened its beak once more, and a dark torrent that destroyed all the void along its path surged toward Xu Zimo.

Xu Zimo didn’t dodge, letting the torrent crash into his body.

“You’ll have to use more strength,” Xu Zimo said with a light smile.

The force vortex within his body slowly turned, and the power to shake the heavens spread through him.

This dark torrent couldn’t even push him back.

And the corrosive dark energy trying to invade was completely blocked outside his body.

Yu Shaoqing took a deep breath and drew his right hand.

The World-Destroying Dark Night Crow once again swept through the void, turning into countless phantoms in the same manner as before.

Attacking from every direction.

“Using the same move twice, now that’s boring,” Xu Zimo said with a smile.

Watching the flashing afterimages around him, Xu Zimo’s gaze suddenly changed, and it seemed like streams of light flashed in his eyes.

He stretched out his hands and grabbed at the air.

With a sharp cry, the World-Destroying Dark Night Crow, darting through the void and creating endless afterimages, was actually caught in his hand.

“How could this be,” Yu Shaoqing’s expression was one of horror.

He knew better than anyone how fast his True Fate was.

Forget catching it, even an ordinary immortal path cultivator couldn’t even see its flight path.

He quickly tried to control the crow to break free.

But it was useless.

Xu Zimo gripped its neck, holding the World-Destroying Dark Night Crow in his palm.

Grinning, he grabbed its left wing with one hand, and tore it off alive.

With the crow’s miserable screech, Yu Shaoqing spat out a mouthful of blood.

This was his True Fate, tearing the crow’s wing was actually tearing apart his own True Fate.

“Stop!” Yu Shaoqing roared.

But Xu Zimo didn’t stop. He then grabbed the right wing and ripped it off as well.

Yu Shaoqing let out another hair-raising scream and collapsed to the ground, already on the verge of death.

“Hold on,” someone from the Feather Race couldn’t bear to watch any longer.

The Feather Race’s leader, Yu Feihuang, quickly extended both hands to stop him.

“What? You want to intervene?” Xu Zimo asked with a smile.

“Let him go, we admit defeat,” Yu Feihuang said, his expression grim.

“That’s no good,” Xu Zimo smiled. “Didn’t we agree this was a life-and-death battle? What’s this about surrendering halfway?”

Behind him, Shi Shaoshuo’s expression was also filled with anger.

He shouted, “Feather Race, do you intend to break the rules?”

But Yu Feihuang ignored Shi Shaoshuo completely.

He continued looking at Xu Zimo and said, “Young man, leave some room when doing things. There’s no need to make it a dead end. You still have a bright future ahead of you.”

“Dead end?” Xu Zimo raised his head and grinned. “Seeking death.”
