Chapter 1288: Sun God Stone

The flames spewed by the Golden Crow King were black, similar to those emitted by the flapping wings of the Golden Crow Protector, but his flames were even more potent. The moment they left his mouth, the surrounding air seemed to ignite, producing crackling sounds, and the temperature increased significantly once again.

Upon seeing these black flames, Chu Linfeng smiled slightly and did not evade them, allowing them to fall upon him. With his defense power, these black flames could not harm him in the slightest.

He then quickly absorbed the flames, and within a few breaths, the black flames were completely absorbed by Chu Linfeng, shocking the Golden Crow King. Someone was actually capable of absorbing his flames. This kid was too bizarre, for one must know these black flames were comparable to Celestial Fire and even a bit higher in quality.

“The taste isn’t bad. The Golden Crow King is indeed generous, gifting me such a nice gift upon our first meeting. Naturally, I won’t hesitate to accept it. I wonder if there’s more? I haven’t had my fill yet,” Chu Linfeng said with a smile.

“You little brat, don’t be arrogant. If you want the Sun God Stone, you’re dreaming. My Golden Crow Race isn’t for someone like you to come and go as you please. Today, you must die here,” said the Golden Crow King.

Chu Linfeng looked at the Golden Crow King and laughed, “Is that all your Golden Crow Race has to say? I’ve heard it several times already, and I’m tired of hearing it. Can’t you say something different?”

The Golden Crow King felt both ashamed and angry. “Everyone use your Lifebound Divine Fire to attack this brat, let him die amidst our Lifebound Divine Fire,” he ordered.

Following the Golden Crow King’s command, all the Golden Crows transformed into their true form, and the third leg began to emit a purple glow. However, the Golden Crow Protector was excluded since he had already used his Lifebound Divine Fire once and couldn’t utilize it again, forcing him to retreat to the side.

Chu Linfeng knew that these fellows’ attacks weren’t very powerful, but the quality of the flame was extremely high, perhaps serving as a major supplement. If handled properly, it could bring endless benefits.

As the purple glow flashed, it emitted from the feet of several Golden Crows, forming a huge purple flame that encircled Chu Linfeng. Under such flames, even a Divine Human Realm master faced a life-or-death struggle.

Seeing Chu Linfeng trapped within the purple flames, the Golden Crow King said, “Let’s see how you die this time. The majesty of my Golden Crow Race is not something anyone can offend lightly. This is your downfall!”

Chu Linfeng did not speak but slowly absorbed the purple flames. Rapid absorption would cause burning pain in the Dantian, but slow absorption posed no issues.

Gradually, the flames on Chu Linfeng’s body decreased, leaving the Golden Crow King and others puzzled, though they quickly realized something was amiss. This boy was actually absorbing the Lifebound Divine Fire. It was too unbelievable.

“Everyone use your Martial Skills and launch a full attack on this brat. We’ve encountered a truly terrifying enemy today, and if we cannot defeat him, our Golden Crow Race might face the danger of annihilation,” the Golden Crow King shouted.

Several Golden Crows transformed into their human forms while others didn’t. Those in human form used sword qi to attack, which filled the sky as if intending to tear it apart, twisting it continuously.

Some Golden Crows directly attacked with their true form, their massive wings flashing, while the fiery feathers detached from their bodies and shot towards Chu Linfeng like arrows, similar to the Golden Demon Vulture’s Feathered Arrows but undoubtedly more powerful.

These Golden Crows were more powerful than the Golden Demon Vulture, mixing strong fire attributes that posed a certain danger to Chu Linfeng, who couldn’t ignore these attacks.

Chu Linfeng’s form flickered, retreating dozens of meters, avoiding parts of the sword qi attacks and arrows, while also summoning the Cyan Frost Divine Sword in his hand. He couldn’t hold back against these Golden Crows, so he performed a Divine Slash directly towards the Golden Crow King.

To catch a thief, first capture the king. Killing requires targeting the leader. This strike was somewhat hurried, and Chu Linfeng knew he couldn’t slay the Golden Crow King but could fend off the incoming sword qi and arrows.

“Boom!” “Boom!” Continuous collisions echoed in the sky, shaking the space so violently that the thunderous sound could be heard clearly even a thousand miles away.

Although the Divine Slash was immensely powerful, these Golden Crows weren’t weaklings. Plenty of arrows and sword qi hit Chu Linfeng, though they caused him no harm due to the Heaven-Defying defense of the Eighth Layer Star Body.

Chu Linfeng checked his body and found no injuries, realizing something at that moment: Did he breakthrough to the Eighth Layer Star Body during the Earth Fire incident? Otherwise, his defense wouldn’t be so formidable.

The purple flames on his body gradually disappeared, and Chu Linfeng felt his Dantian’s fire element was incredibly strong. Once fully absorbed, he believed the power of Fire Transformation would become even stronger.

At this moment, seeing Chu Lin untouched in the sky, the Golden Crow King was shocked. Under such powerful attacks, this brat remained unharmed, indicating overwhelming strength. A bad feeling arose, suggesting perhaps the Golden Crow Race faced extinction.

Chu Linfeng then said, “Golden Crow King, you are no match for me. I don’t wish to annihilate you all; I only want to obtain a Sun God Stone. If you hand over the Sun God Stone, I’ll spare you. If you remain obstinate, the Golden Crow Race might really face extinction. As the ruler of the Golden Crow Race, consider this. I’ll give you a few moments to decide.”

“No need to consider. Our Golden Crow Race will never give you the Sun God Stone. You’ve destroyed the Fire Tree that we use to enhance our strength and killed our people, representing an irreconcilable enmity. Even if our Golden Crow Race faces extinction, we will never agree with you. Give up your hope!” the Golden Crow King shouted.

“Very well, very well! Since you are so imprudent, don’t blame me for being ruthless!” Chu Linfeng said.

The Golden Crow King’s body shimmered into an old man’s form, “Everyone retreat quickly. Today, I’ll use the Sun God Stone’s power to show him the might of the Golden Crow Race.”

Upon hearing this, the other Golden Crows quickly flew out, while the Golden Crow King revealed a fire-red stone in his hand. Needless to say, it was the Sun God Stone, and Chu Linfeng could clearly feel the fire attribute energy emanating from it—strong would be an understatement!
