Sky-Splittering Eagle, a super-tier pet beast, an earth-type pet beast, and a metal-type pet beast. The overlord of the sky, a top-tier pet beast. Its body is majestic, sculpted like a mountain peak; when spread, its wings seem capable of obscuring the entire sky. Its deep brown feathers are as hard as iron, and its wings are inlaid with irregular earth-yellow stripes, like the veins of the earth. On the Sky-Splittering Eagle's chest is a unique earth-yellow marking, shaped like a heart, as if it were the mark of the earth, endowing it with boundless power.

Most importantly, Skybreaker is Meraus's natural nemesis.

Legend has it that Melaus was a serpent woman born of a serpent and a human. She knelt day and night before the temple of Aryas, praying for the gods to forgive her original sin. The gods were moved by her sincerity and bestowed upon her their blessings, sparing her from worldly prejudice and slander.

But she betrayed the gods and dared to try to become one herself. So the gods captured Melaus and chained her to the cliffs of Phidiola, sending the loyal messenger, the Sky-Splittering Eagle, to devour Melaus's body day and night.

...

This is the explanation people give for why Skyhawk is a nemesis of Meraus.

After reaching max level, Sky-Splitter Eagle gains another special skill specifically designed to counter Meraus, called Meraus's Seal.

“This Sky-Splittering Eagle has only just evolved and can’t possibly seal me. Don’t worry, I’ll protect your life.” Meraus shielded Xia Chouyu behind him. “But after this is all over, I want ten times the reward.”

In a corner where it couldn't see, Xia Chouyu glanced at it with pity: "If you can get out, you can have it all."

Meraus grinned, then covered his mouth again: "Okay~"

[Skill: Meraus's Seal (Special Skill): A fated duel exists between the Sky-Splitter and Meraus. When a max-level Sky-Splitter battles Meraus, it can mobilize earth-elemental divine power to form a powerful sealing array, temporarily sealing Meraus's superpowers and preventing her from unleashing her full strength. Although this skill consumes a huge amount of energy, it is Sky-Splitter's ultimate weapon against Meraus.]

Cheng Huaijin didn't know if the appearance of Melaus was the reason why Xue Bingna evolved into Sky-Rending Eagle. But even if there was a type advantage, a level one Sky-Rending Eagle couldn't possibly defeat the Melaus in front of him.

"Sky-Splitting Eagle, go back!" Cheng Huaijin summoned Sky-Splitting Eagle.

The Sky-Splitting Eagle paused, then called out softly to Cheng Huaijin.

"Crack".

-I want to protect you.

Tears welled up, and Cheng Huaijin said through gritted teeth, "Come back."

The Sky-Splitting Eagle's gaze was like a knife, and its huge wings spread out, condensing earth-elemental energy into an earth-yellow shield that surrounded Cheng Huaijin.

Then, the [Sky Claw] skill was released, and the Sky Claw Eagle shot towards Meraus like a bullet, carrying away a whistling sandstorm.

Meraus's eyes were serious, but she pretended to be nonchalant: "Little brat, you're a long way from challenging me!"

Its true form appeared, its hair transforming into countless snake heads as it charged towards the Sky-Splitting Eagle!

"Splitter—!" The Sky-Splitter Eagle was knocked to the ground.

At this moment, Cheng Huaijin didn't have time to summon the Sky-Splitting Eagle back to the pet space. If she argued with the Sky-Splitting Eagle again, it would probably distract the eagle.

She focused her attention on providing energy to the Skyhawk.

Xia Chouyu walked to the earth-elemental shield; both of his arms had been repaired.

He raised both arms and slammed them heavily onto the shield.

The shield's glowing surface trembled, and Cheng Huaijin spat out a mouthful of blood.

Cheng Huaijin looked up at Xia Chouyu.

For the first time, she wanted to kill someone so badly.
