Prime Originator

The Blue Luan narrowed its eyes dangerously at Leon's commanding words.

However, after a short glance at the dreadful array hanging in the sky, the Blue Luan simply snorted and flew off to inform the others.

Not long after, the Three-Legged Golden Crows in the region seemed to have taken notice of the looming danger in the sky.

Caw!

The Awakening Three-Legged Golden Crow issued a mighty and commanding cry at once.

Swoosh~!

All the Three-Legged Golden Crow turned and flocked towards Leon's direction like they had just received an imperial edict.

"Tch!" Leon clicked his tongue.

The Three-Legged Golden Crow was already beginning to influence the other Three-Legged Golden Crows, even in their berserk states.

"Seems like it is getting quite close to the Paragon-level…" Leon narrowed his eyes in observation as he controlled the Demonic Array, "Paragons are like kings and emperors. Their words hold power over their own races…"

"Still, perhaps there's a chance to recover the Three-Legged Golden Crow's sanity from its berserk state?" Leon thought for a moment before quickly shelving the idea.

Even if the Three-Legged Golden Crow recovered its sanity, it would still be an enemy. He had already killed so many of its brethren.

It was impossible for them to reconcile this hatred.

As Leon watched the Three-Legged Golden Crows approached him, the Blue Luan did not remain silent.

Kree! Kree!

"Protect that human! Don't let the Golden Crows get to him!" One of the Rank 2 Transcendent Blue Luan spoke.

Many Blue Luans immediately flocked over to impede the Three-Legged Golden Crows' path while some protested, "Why do we need to protect a mere human? And a human of the wicked path, no less!"

"Because this human is helping us! Even if we did not ask for it, he is still helping us! Our pride as descendants of the Ice Phoenix will not allow us to just standby and watch this human harmed by our enemies!" The Blue Luan spoke.

Once these words were spoken, the voices of dissent within the Blue Luan Tribe immediately died down.

They raised their heads and flapped their wings furiously to defend their honor, taking off to join the rest of the Blue Luans and attack the Three-Legged Golden Crows.

Duna, Aria, and the Supreme Elder watched the battle from a distance.

Seeing Duna had no intention of joining to protect Leon, Aria wanted to throw a jab at her to get back at her.

However, she remembered that the lightning element was of the yang alignment, whether it was spiritually or demonically produced.

As such, Duna should not get close to the thundercloud looming above the giant Demonic Array.

Aria decided to leave her spot quietly.

However, Aria was quickly stopped by Duna before she turned her head back with a frown, "What is it? Even if you cannot help, it doesn't mean I can't either."

"No, even worse, you will just ruin his efforts," Duna stated indifferently without giving Aria any face, "You have high affinity with lightning. Your presence will disturb the Demonic Array from functioning properly."

"You seem awfully familiar with how Demonic Energy works," Aria furrowed her brows, but she did not continue to leave and assist Leon. "How do you know?"

"I am a devil," Duna stated with a calm look.

Supreme Elder Haldir was surprised, but he chose to remain silent.

Sensing the vague gunpowder in the air between these two ladies, he decided to retreat a few steps and not get involved.

At the same time, Aria glanced back at Duna with doubt, "Aren't you suppose to be a 400-year-ago vengeful spirit? Why are you suddenly a devil? Where are your horns and wings?"

"How ignorant must you be to ask that? Do you think all devils have to have horns and wings? Even a human like you can be a devil as long as you meet the right requirements to become one," Duna spoke coolly, "I am a spirit with a devil's soul."

"Oh, why not add old hag to your description too?"

"What did you just say?" Duna immediately narrowed her eyes with a dangerous glint as the surrounding temperature quickly dropped.

Having found a way to get back at Duna, Aria's lips curled into a smirk without backing down, "You heard me correctly, Old Hag."

The two glared at each other with sparks flying between their eyes.

Aria exerted her own pressure without losing out, causing Duna to widen her eyes with mild surprise.

She quickly discovered that Aria must have also inherited a powerful soul that boosted her own soul in order to exert such soul pressure.

'Is it a devil's soul or god's soul? Considering this world belongs to the demons, it should be a devil's soul, right?' Duna silently thought.

Unfortunately, it was neither of those guesses.

It was hardly the time for the two ladies to be fighting. As such, Supreme Elder Haldir opened his mouth on multiple occasions.

However, he ended up closing his mouth without speaking a word in the end.

Nevertheless, he made a mental note to pay more attention to Duna, the vengeful spirit. Devils and demons were supposedly the harbingers of death and enemy of all living things.

As such, he could not ignore Duna after she made such a claim.

'This person is dangerous,' Supreme Elder Haldir silently thought.

Meanwhile, Duna quickly realized Aria's intention and smiled coolly, "I'm too lazy to bicker with a little girl like you."

"Whatever, Old Hag." Aria shrugged.

Although Duna realized Aria's intention to annoy her, being called an old hag was not a pleasant thing to hear. As such, her eyes twitched slightly.

Rumble!

Power continued to gather in the thunderclouds as it flicked with bright flashes of crimson light.

The Demonic Array barely reached its limit, but it already began to shake due to the unstable nature of Demonic Energy.

Knowing the Demonic Array would collapse if he waited any longer, Leon immediately shouted at the Blue Luans, "Everyone, get out of the way!"

Kree!

The Blue Luans acknowledged his words with a cry.

Shortly after the Blue Luan flew out of the area with Three-Legged Golden Crows hot on their tails, a clear path was opened between Demonic Array and the Awakening Three-Legged Golden Crow.

Caw!

Three-Legged Golden Crow cried as its instincts screamed with intense danger, causing it to forcefully stop its awakening at a critical juncture to flee.

However, he did not allow it.

"Smite it into oblivion, Demonic Heaven's Wrath," Leon dropped his raised hand.

Boom!

A thick streak of red lightning quickly descended on the Three-Legged Golden Crow's huge body in an instance!
