Chapter 36: I Am Invincible Beneath the Spirit Demon Realm

"Overslept... hmm, the aura of this barrier has indeed weakened significantly."

"I wonder how they are faring over there; I should hurry."

Jiang Xuan stretched, but as his hands reached toward the sky, a voice exploded in his mind!

The voice was faint, yet unmistakably clear!

It was a telepathic transmission!

Previously, when the Snow Leopard clan’s foundational cultivation technique, *Ice and Snow Chill*, had fallen out of his storage ring, Jiang Xuan had sensed it clearly. However, the *Telepathic Transmission* technique was a divine ability, far weaker in both value and aura than *Ice and Snow Chill*. Furthermore, it had fallen among some spiritual herbs, and Jiang Xuan had failed to notice it. Only later, when he rummaged through his storage ring, did he find it and share it with all his subordinates.

The words that exploded in Jiang Xuan’s mind were brief: "Save me!"

It was Xiao Mei’s voice; Jiang Xuan could not possibly have mistaken it.

"Ding!"

"Host! Emergency! All your subordinates are severely injured and at death's door! Please proceed to rescue them immediately!"

"Mission completion reward: Cultivation techniques: *Eagle Strikes the Sky*, *Mountain-Crushing Heaven*, and *Sprite Sword Art*!"

Damn it!

Three cultivation techniques!

Just how dire must the situation be!

With the sound of snapping branches, Jiang Xuan vanished from the spot.

As cultivation techniques were extremely rare resources, Jiang Xuan knew that the Empress and the others were likely facing a life-or-death crisis.

"Ding!"

"Host! Your subordinate, Orange, has been eaten by a Great Demon!"

"Damn it! How could this happen? Just... just like that, they're gone???"

"Orange! My poor Orange!"

Standing before the crimson barrier, Jiang Xuan felt a sharp, stabbing pain in his heart.

He still remembered why he had named the bird Orange—because the feathers on its wings were predominantly orange-red, making it look just like an orange. Among all his subordinates, the little fellow was unusually well-behaved. Even though Jiang Xuan had an inherent irritation toward male eagles, he had grown quite fond of Orange, often giving it a larger share of resources.

"Tri-legged Solar Fire!"

His hands transformed into eagle talons, his expression darkening and growing increasingly grim.

He stepped across the Eternal Domain barrier with a motion as smooth as silk.

But the moment he took that step, he regretted it with every fiber of his being.

He could sense the aura of that fifth-tier Snow Leopard!

If he had come to provide support even a step earlier, he might have prevented this tragedy.

At some point, Jiang Xuan’s eyes had become bloodshot.

He was not like the Empress, nor was he like the Demon Lord.

The life and death of those around him weighed heavily upon him.

Moving with the grace of a swallow, Jiang Xuan became nothing more than a green streak in the sky, rushing toward the scene of the tragedy.

"Ding!"

"I see them."

Jiang Xuan arrived.

The system was about to provide a warning, but he had already seen it: three figures sat on the ground, sharing the remains of a giant eagle.

The aura belonged to the "Hot-Headed Kid."

The eagle lived up to his name, and Jiang Xuan’s impression of him had been mediocre, but over time, he had grown accustomed to the little guy’s temper.

But now, he was dead, torn into pieces right before Jiang Xuan’s eyes.

"Finally, you’ve arrived!"

"The debt from that kick last time! Today, I’ll claim your life in return!"

"Oh? You’ve become a Great Demon? You’ve progressed quite quickly!"

Seeing the green-clad figure in the distance, the Snow Leopard laughed toward the sky and stood up.

"Brother Li, is this the fellow you mentioned who possesses the Golden Crow bloodline?"

The Demon Ox turned his head, eyeing Jiang Xuan, but detected no unusual aura.

"Of course! This guy kicked me into suffering internal injuries last time! I’d recognize him even if he turned to ash!"

"He has the Golden Crow bloodline in his body! As long as we eat him, combined with all the other demon beasts here, what’s to stop us from advancing another tier? Hahaha!"

"Brother Li, it seems this is all thanks to you this time."

"When we return to the Hundred Beast Sect, I’ll treat you to the finest wine!"

"Heh, say no more, say no more!"

Although the Cat Demon was in human form, he couldn't control the saliva dripping from his mouth.

Because, as Jiang Xuan’s rage flared, the delicious scent of the Golden Crow bloodline had already wafted into his nostrils!

Jiang Xuan had not taken another step since arriving before the three Great Demons.

Sensing the fading auras of the Empress and the others, and looking at the pools of blood covering the ground, Jiang Xuan felt an uncontrollable, agonizing pain in his heart.

"System! Use one Evolution Point! Fuse all the Golden Eagle essence blood; I want to break through my realm! I can't take this anymore!"

"Host! Breaking through your realm and fusing the remaining thirteen drops of Golden Eagle essence blood will take some time. However, you can consume another Evolution Point to achieve an instant breakthrough! Do you wish to proceed?"

"Yes! Yes! Yes!"

"I am going to tear them apart with my bare hands!"

Jiang Xuan remained standing in place, but his rage had already transformed into flames that swirled around his body!

During this time, Jiang Xuan had completed many missions, large and small.

He still had eight Evolution Points remaining, and he had already obtained all the Golden Eagle essence blood.

As his body underwent rapid changes, Jiang Xuan closed his eyes.

"Kid! Are you too scared to speak?"

"Brother Li, although there aren't many other Great Demons in this area, we should finish this quickly to avoid any unexpected trouble!"

"Mm, Brother Cat is right. If some other Great Demon intercepts, that would be a pity."

The three of them exchanged a glance and lunged toward Jiang Xuan simultaneously.

Jiang Xuan rose into the air, his speed immense, shooting straight toward the clouds.

Above the cloud layer, Jiang Xuan opened his eyes, two flames sweeping through the clouds from his gaze!

"What’s going on? This guy! His aura has completely changed!"

"A second-tier Great Demon! No, that’s not right—a simple breakthrough shouldn't completely alter one's aura!"

"This guy isn't from the Eagle clan anymore! What is this?"

In mid-air, the Snow Leopard and the others stopped, looking at each other in disbelief.

It was common knowledge that breaking through a realm would alter one's aura slightly.

But even when breaking through a major realm, it was impossible for an aura to change as if it were an entirely different demon beast!

At this moment, Jiang Xuan felt as if he had been reborn, and the corners of his mouth curled upward.

Such power could only be described as godlike.

The next second, Jiang Xuan dove down, appearing before the still-stunned trio.

"Are you all prepared to die?"

As the words fell, Jiang Xuan pushed out a palm, and flames erupted, engulfing the three of them.

With just one move, he forced them back into their original forms!

"A Golden Eagle! This guy has evolved into a Golden Eagle!"

"How is this possible? To evolve into a different species while only at the Great Demon realm—this is unheard of!"

"A Golden Eagle with Golden Crow bloodline—this child must be killed!"

The Cat Demon’s eyes widened, his pupils filled with killing intent.

They all understood that if such a monstrous talent were not eliminated here, it would surely lead to endless trouble in the future!

Putting their shock aside, the three giant demons attacked at once.

Watching them, Jiang Xuan let out a cold laugh.

"Gold-Stone Splitting Strike."

He whispered softly, and Jiang Xuan transformed into his true form—a massive Golden Eagle!

When he spread his wings, his gargantuan frame was no less impressive than the Demon Ox!

At the edge of the Eternal Domain, the violent spiritual energy seemed to blow a massive crater into the sky.

Flames filled the void, only to be instantly frozen.

After some time, only one sentence drifted through the air:

"Beneath the Spirit Demon realm, I am invincible."
