Zhou yi who saw all the bird's action was surprised because from the tone of the bird it was as if it had experienced the vicissitude of life and if not that he had heard the bird bragging before he would have believed it's crap.
But even though he looked surprised on the surface his mind was working at a very fast speed searching for a suitable technique to counter the bird's attack but he was disappointed because his predecessor highest technique was a mid yellow ranked technique the profound dusk finger.
Technique were split into yellow, black, gold, profound, earth and heaven in the mortal realm, with yellow being the lowest and heaven being the highest.
But in Zhou yi's hand the yellow ranked technique was like the breadth of dao, it was smooth and flawless.
And unknown to Zhou yi a box image appeared behind him a strange aura was being emanating from his body, the aura seemed to contain the ultimate evil and absolute righteousness at the same time and Zhou yi's aura merged with the aura making him like the embodiment of a demon and Buddha.
Zhou yi felt a little bloated after executing the technique and he noticed a strange energy moving around inside his body increasing the power of his attack however he attributed it to the cultivation method he was using he was cultivating and he was totally unaware of the strange box image behind him.
The nothingness void bird even though was a bird birth from nothingness trembled when it saw the strange box image that appeared behind zhou yi and it blood froze making a flaw appear in it's technique and Zhou yi who spotted the flaw immediately took action and struck the flawed area.
"BOOM"
Immediately their attacks collide the box image behind Zhou yi disappeared and turned to black dust size particles that merged with into Zhou yi's body.
And a cloud of dust rose from the the ground and when it settled the nothingness void bird could be seen 6 meters away from it's original spot. Although there was no obvious wound on it's body it's eyes were filled with shock staring at Zhou yi who had not left his original spot, particularly it was staring at his finger because a drop of dark red blood could be seen on Zhou yi's index finger.
"How is this possible? How can you breach my defense with that crappy technique" the bird said in disbelief because the dark red blood belonged to it.
And it was not just an ordinary blood it was it's blood essence.
"sigh it seemed I underestimated the strength of the nothingness void bird" Zhou yi said staring at the bird because even though he seemed to have the advantage, he knew he had lost because he was at the fourth level of the nascent soul stage while the bird was only at the ninth level golden core stage and even with the realm disparities he couldn't injure the bird talk less of even scratching the bird's feather.
"Hmmp! don't think you can subdue me with just that. I Lord bird will not surrender to you, another round." The bird said stubbornly, " Soul devouring technique fifth move, soul assimilation" then it attacked again this time the power was ten times stronger and mysterious than it's previous attack because it attacked both the body and soul at the same time.
Zhou yi felt a strange power trying to devour his soul and he couldn't dodge even if he wanted to, but even so he was calm because one had to know that he was once a god and his soul still contained traces of divinity that was unique to gods and even if it was a trace of divinity it guaranteed that no one below the heaven immortal realm couldn't hurt him through soul technique.so he only had to deal with the physical part of that attack.
But this time the box image didn't appear increasing the bird's confidence.
"BOOM"
Both sides were evenly matched.
"Stupid human you are no match for me surrendered obediently and become my human pet. hahahaha!" the bird laughed while attacking Zhou yi with its claw.
" Hmmp! wishful thinking you should be the one to surrender little bird" Zhou yi replied coldly. At first he suppressed his power because he didn't want the Zhou family to notice this fight and find trouble with him because it was a known fact that he was a trash at the second level of body tempering so it they find out he has that kind of power it might cause a severe misunderstanding and the Zhou family might think he possess a precious treasure leading a chaotic situation. Although he was not afraid, he wanted to be as low-key as possible in other to avoid attracting unwanted attentions, but after seeing that no one showed up even after the resounding destructive sound he became relieved and then prepared to battle with his full strength.
The fight continued for half an hour before both side stopped
This time the attack destroyed all lives within the area of 50 meters leaving only tree dregs and several potholes were left on the ground.
This time the bird could be seen lying powerlessly on the ground with it's head facing heaven as if it was lamenting at it's terrible fate and it's feather was also ruffled making it look like a poor lost bird who had lost all reason to live.
Zhou yi was no better because his clothes were torn and revealing his body that had different claw marks on his body and he looked like a bloodied old Beggar but a victorious smile could be seen on his face.
"Little bird you lost you have to give me the sky demon worm and heaven brooding ant or do you still want to go for another round?" Zhou yi asked confidently.
"No! no! young master I was blind and I offended you please forgive me" The bird said fearfully and almost wept because every time their attack collide a drop of it's blood essence would be absorbed by a mysterious power into Zhou yi's body and it was constantly changing his aura to be more like the nothingness void bird then it remembered what the old man said to it "The world is changing and the chosen one will be from all race bringing the world to a new epoch.THE DAO DEVOURING EPOCH."
" it seems like following him is the only way to get that stuff" it thought with a cunning glint in his eyes.
Zhou yi and the bird were not aware of that the strange box image appeared behind him again but this time it seemed a bit more condensed and real, it was also emitting an aura that was similar to the nothingness void bird and a string could be seen connecting both Zhou yi and the strange box image.
"who the hell are you" the bird asked tiredly because it sensed the aura of nothingness emanating from Zhou yi's body.
"Sigh! you background should be similar to that old man that gave me the nothingness void bloodline." The bird said and in awe.
Zhou yi immediately noticed something amiss so he took out all of he feathers he had collected before and indeed the feathers were different, the first were 90 ordinary blue feathers with no specific function, then 90 black feathers with blue stripes that he'd a space of 800,000 cubic meter, followed by a blue feather that was unknowingly removed during it's evolution which contain a space of 200,000,000 cubic meter and he could also sensed a strange life aura that could nurture life, Zhou yi then understood that the bird wasn't born naturally but it absorbed the bloodline given to it by the strange old man and the bloodline was activated by the Qi rain created by the combined force of the four direction lightning array ond the Asura heaven devouring technique
