"Um?"
The leader of the Crimson Flame Sparrow was extremely surprised.
Why was Chen Yi, who was clearly only a Qi Refining stage cultivator, able to use his sword energy to cut through the Iron Feather Demon Eagle's defense?
This made it realize that it had underestimated this human kid.
"Let me see if you really have that kind of ability..."
It kept a close eye on Chen Yi's every move.
What it didn't know was that this young man was no ordinary Qi Refining cultivator.
After Chen Yi reached the eleventh level of Qi Refining, he was able to fully unleash the power of the Three Thousand Heavenly River Sword Formation (incomplete).
It is worth mentioning that in the days following the joint examination of the five schools, he would refine a batch of sword pellets every day, and to this day, the number of sword pellets has reached over a hundred.
However, this sword formation fusion method can only activate a maximum of eighty-one sword pellets; any extra sword pellets can only be used as spares.
Just now, with a flick of his finger, he mobilized eighty-one sword pellets to form a perfect sword formation.
With this, one can fight against a Foundation Establishment cultivator; this is no exaggeration!
Although they cannot compare with Foundation Establishment cultivators in other aspects, they can still fight them in terms of lethality.
These Ironfeathered Demon Eagles were all level 1 demonic beasts, and under the slaughter of the sword formation composed of eighty-one sword pellets, they could only fall with broken wings.
"Clang! Clang! Clang!"
The sword energy surged, and the remaining Iron Feather Demon Eagle's eyes revealed terror.
When they were frightened, instead of flying away in panic, they frantically gathered together.
"Whoosh!"
More and more Ironfeathered Demon Eagles gathered, forming a huge "iron ball".
It turns out that only a small portion of them appeared; a considerable number were hidden in the mountains behind.
Such a number indicates that the scale of this attack was unprecedented.
"Swish! Swish! Swish!"
The Iron Feather Demon Eagle inside can then propel the "Iron Ball" out of the sword formation.
"These bird-feathered beasts do have some intelligence," Chen Yi remarked.
"Bah!"
The Crimson Flame Sparrow beneath their feet let out a cry.
Chen Yi's lips twitched. "I wasn't talking about you guys."
Upon hearing this, the Crimson Flame Sparrow also fell silent.
"Clang!"
Chen Yi mobilized the power of the sword formation, gathering the sword energy together.
This ability can only be activated when all eighty-one sword pellets are collected.
The sword energy gathered, resembling a giant light sword, and slashed fiercely down towards the flock of Iron-feathered Demon Eagles...
"Caw! Caw! Caw!"
The huddled Ironfeather Demon Eagles watched in horror as the sword fell, splitting the "iron ball" in two.
The Iron-Feathered Demon Eagle scattered again, torn apart by the sword energy...
The broken iron feathers fell like blades, piercing the earth.
Chen Yi ordered the Crimson Flame Sparrow to fall into the valley below.
At this moment, several Ironfeathered Demon Eagles flapped their wings, trying to escape; it turned out they had been feigning death.
They fly at low altitudes at extremely high speeds.
If they escape, they might attract even more powerful demonic eagles.
Chen Yi took a step forward and his figure disappeared into the ground.
As if he had used an earth-遁符 (earth-遁符, a type of talisman), he quickly burrowed underground and killed the fleeing Iron Feather Demon Eagles in the blink of an eye.
"puff!"
To prevent the possibility of a corpse rising from the dead, Chen Yi activated his magical power again.
With the blessing of the true spiritual energy of the Earth element lying on the ground, the earth seemed to come alive.
Earth swallows up the swamp!
"Boom!"
The hundreds of Ironfeathered Demon Eagles were instantly covered by mud.
"You can kill me and bury me; you should be grateful you've encountered an opponent like me!"
Chen Yi dusted off his slightly dirty clothes, then rode the Crimson Flame Sparrow back to the fiery tree.
The leader of the Crimson Flame Sparrow gave Chen Yi a deep look.
"No wonder you have won the favor of our clan's genius descendant, you are indeed extraordinary!"
Chen Yi asked, "So now, have you changed your mind?"
The Crimson Flame Sparrow leader nodded: "Was your earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of technique) reliable?"
Chen Yi was slightly taken aback. "What do you want to do?"
The leader of the Crimson Flame Sparrow said frankly, "In the Iron Feather Demon Eagle's base camp, there is also a tree called the Iron Tree, and the Iron Pear Blossoms that condense on it are also a rare and precious material."
"If you can sneak into that place and destroy the iron tree, I will not only put it into the bloodline altar, but you can also enter."
Upon hearing this, the surrounding Crimson Flame Birds were stunned.
It should be noted that the Bloodline Altar is a sacred place that only elite descendants of the Crimson Flame Sparrow can enter, yet the leader has opened it to an outsider.
"The altar is filled with the essence and blood of the past leaders of my Crimson Flame Sparrow clan. You have fused your blood with a descendant of my Crimson Flame Sparrow clan and can also receive this blessing. This opportunity can allow your physical body to break through the shackles of the Qi Refining stage and reach the early Foundation Establishment stage," the Crimson Flame Sparrow leader explained.
Upon hearing this, Chen Yi was slightly tempted.
Although the physical body mentioned by the other party as being in the early stage of Foundation Establishment is definitely the Human Foundation Establishment stage, it is already more than enough for him who is only at the eleventh level of Qi Refining.
However, he wasn't the type to risk his life for a chance opportunity, and he needed to consider whether this was feasible.
"My Earth Element True Spirit Qi can conceal my aura, allowing me to penetrate the earth and damage the iron tree from its roots. That shouldn't be a problem..." he silently estimated to himself.
"If I damage the iron tree, the Iron Feather Demon Eagle will definitely be furious. Why not try to shift the blame elsewhere?"
He learned from the Qi Luck Gu that its former owner had also come along.
It could sense her presence.
However, this person is very cautious and has not yet shown up.
Chen Yi planned to take this opportunity to see if he could resolve this matter as well...
Otherwise, having someone constantly watching you in the shadows always makes you feel a little uneasy...
Another reason is that the Qi Yun Gu's betrayal will probably not be kept secret for long.
If there is no movement for a long time, the other party will definitely realize something and take the initiative to come to Chen Yi.
However, the other party's initiative put him at a disadvantage, and Chen Yi did not want to put himself in a passive position.
Therefore, going to the Iron Feather Demon Eagle's base camp to do bad things is a good opportunity to kill two birds with one stone.
Chen Yi inquired about the location of the iron tree and then set off immediately.
......
Three hundred miles directly north of the Crimson Flame Sparrow tribe lies a giant natural mine.
The surrounding soil was lush green or yellowish-brown, but around the mine pit, it turned grayish-black.
Ironfeathered Demon Eagles usually feed on ores, but they also covet the bloodline of the Crimson Flame Sparrow, attempting to enhance their bloodline through devouring and reproduction.
Chen Yi stared at the iron tree that had grown out of the depths of the mine. "This is the iron tree?"
Although this tree grows in the center of the mine, in a low-lying area, it is about the same height as the Crimson Flame Sparrow's Fire Tree.
The iron tree was entirely gray-black, as if it were made of steel. It had no leaves, only thorny branches, giving it a somewhat bony appearance.
From each "thorn" tends to extend more "thorns," eventually forming a terrifying network of branches that covers half of the mine pit...
Chen Yi did indeed see many Iron Feather Demon Eagles near the iron tree.
Some of them hover high above the outer edge of the mine, as if surveying the surroundings; some are inside the mine, pecking at the ore bit by bit; and others perch on the ironwood trees, as if they have become one with the ironwood trees.
Standing on the outermost rock layer, Chen Yi looked down and finally found something different on the branches of the ironwood tree.
It was a flower about the size of a human face, with four silvery-white petals and golden-yellow stamens.
Chen Yi's eyes were burning as he licked his dry lips. "This should be the Iron Pear Blossom that the Crimson Flame Sparrow leader mentioned. It really is a good thing!"
Unfortunately, a massive Iron-Feathered Demon Eagle, as large as a passenger plane, was perched beside this iron pear blossom.
Chen Yi's intuition told him that this demonic eagle was probably a late-stage Foundation Establishment being.
"Even with concealment and invisibility talismans, I wouldn't dare approach rashly. However, if something happens to the iron tree, it certainly won't stand idly by..."
He took a deep breath, confirmed that the Concealing Breath Talisman and Invisibility Talisman on his body were working, and that he had enough Thunderfire Talismans, then he directly burrowed underground.
The Iron Tree Collapse Project has officially begun!
