For a moment, Lin Yongming and the two women hid behind a large tree about a hundred meters away, watching the battle between the eagle and the snake, waiting for the right opportunity to strike.
"Screech…"
The Purple Lightning Thunder Eagle circled rapidly above the treetops. Before the Purple Flame Black-Striped Snake could react, the eagle suddenly swooped down, its sharp talons digging into the snake's neck and back, leaving deep claw marks and tearing through its scales.
The snake hissed in pain, twisting its body to retaliate. It opened its terrifying maw and shot a burst of purple-black energy toward the eagle.
However, the Purple Lightning Thunder Eagle's wings crackled with electricity, enveloping its body in a flash of lightning. In an instant, it dodged the attack and circled around to strike the snake again, targeting the same wounded spot.
The Purple Flame Black-Striped Snake was now completely at a disadvantage. It was both helpless and terrified, showing clear signs of retreat.
As the eagle soared back into the air, the snake seized the opportunity to slide down from the giant tree and slither onto the ground. It intended to use the dense canopy as cover to block the eagle's line of sight and escape.
But the Purple Lightning Thunder Eagle wasn't about to let its prey get away. With a sharp cry, it dove into the canopy, chasing after the snake.
After waiting for nearly ten minutes, the Blue Silver Empress saw her chance.
"Now's the time! Restrain it!" Xiao Rou immediately reminded her.
Without waiting for Xiao Rou to finish, the Blue Silver Empress summoned her spirit, the Blue Silver Emperor. Four spirit rings rose from her feet, and the fourth purple thousand-year ring began to glow.
"Fourth Spirit Skill: Blue Silver Prison!" she shouted.
The Blue Silver Grass on the ground sprang to life, transforming into thick vines that shimmered with golden light. Under the Blue Silver Empress's control, the vines shot upward, piercing through the canopy and forming a net-like structure that trapped the Purple Lightning Thunder Eagle mid-air.
With a swift motion, the Blue Silver Empress pulled the vines back to the ground, slamming the eagle onto the forest floor.
Of course, the Blue Silver Empress's fourth spirit skill had another form—the Blue Silver Thrust Array, a powerful offensive ability. However, with Xiao Rou, a Spirit Emperor, present, there was no need for such an attack. Control was enough.
"Screech…!"
The sudden turn of events left the Purple Lightning Thunder Eagle in a state of panic. It flapped its wings furiously, trying to break free from the Blue Silver Prison. At the same time, it released bursts of lightning that crackled along the vines, attempting to strike the Blue Silver Empress.
"Third Spirit Skill: Teleportation! Sixth Spirit Skill: Eight-Stage Killing Blow!" Xiao Rou acted immediately.
Six spirit rings rose from her feet, with one purple and one black ring glowing brightly. Xiao Rou unleashed her signature move.
She extended her long leg and delivered a devastating kick to the eagle's back.
"Boom!"
The force of the blow was so powerful that it seemed to drive the eagle into the ground. A shockwave erupted from the eagle's body, scattering debris and vegetation in all directions.
Hearing the commotion, the Purple Flame Black-Striped Snake glanced back and saw the eagle's dire state. Without hesitation, it slithered away as fast as it could.
"Yikes… that's brutal!" Lin Yongming couldn't help but shudder as he watched. He silently mourned the eagle for a second.
"Xiao Ming, come here quickly! I hit it a bit too hard, but it's still alive—barely." Xiao Rou called out to Lin Yongming, noting the eagle's critical condition.
Even a ten-thousand-year spirit beast would struggle to withstand Xiao Rou's sixth spirit skill, let alone a three-thousand-year Purple Lightning Thunder Eagle.
"Coming, Sister Xiao Rou!" Lin Yongming sprinted over without delay. He summoned his spirit, the Thunder Blade, and with a decisive strike, severed half of the eagle's neck.
The Purple Lightning Thunder Eagle thrashed wildly for a moment before its body went limp, lifeless at last.
Behind Lin Yongming, the Blue Silver Empress couldn't bear to watch and turned her head, closing her eyes briefly. Xiao Rou did the same, her expression tinged with regret.
But they quickly composed themselves as a purple spirit ring began to form above the eagle's corpse.
"This spirit ring is extraordinary. Xiao Ming, are you absolutely sure about this?" Xiao Rou asked again, sensing the immense energy contained within the ring.
"Of course. I can't let it go to waste," Lin Yongming replied firmly.
"Second Spirit Skill: Blue Silver's Protection." Without a word, the Blue Silver Empress activated her spirit skill to enhance Lin Yongming's physical resilience.
"Sister Ah Yin is so thoughtful!" Lin Yongming thought to himself as he sat down beside the eagle's body.
Xiao Rou shot a glance at the Blue Silver Empress, her eyes conveying a silent message: "You're spoiling him." The Blue Silver Empress blushed slightly and turned away.
As the spirit ring fully materialized, Lin Yongming addressed the two women. "Sisters, I'm ready to begin."
"Focus on absorbing the ring. We'll guard you," the Blue Silver Empress and Xiao Rou said in unison.
Lin Yongming took a deep breath and concentrated, using a thread of spirit energy to guide the Purple Lightning Thunder Eagle's spirit ring toward him.
In an instant, a surge of immense energy flooded his body, causing it to swell as if it might burst.
"Ah… it hurts!" The pain was overwhelming, making his scalp tingle.
A shockwave erupted from his body, spreading outward.
Lin Yongming gritted his teeth, his face contorted in agony.
"What's happening? Xiao Ming looks like he's in so much pain… Could he fail?" The Blue Silver Empress grew increasingly anxious, wringing her hands.
"Ah Yin, stay calm. He has to rely on himself now. I sense he's someone blessed by fate," Xiao Rou reassured her, worried that the Blue Silver Empress might interfere out of concern.
As Lin Yongming continued to absorb the spirit ring, his expression became more and more twisted, almost monstrous.
"Ahhh…!" He let out a cry of pain as his body became enveloped in crackling lightning.
The energy seemed to gather on his back, as if something was trying to burst forth.
"Xiao Ming, you have to pull through!" The Blue Silver Empress closed her eyes, praying silently.
"This girl is hopeless," Xiao Rou thought with a sigh as she watched the Blue Silver Empress's worried expression.
"Who knows if this is for the best or not…"
