As everyone listened, they became tense.
After three breaths, a giant bird, soaring to a height of a thousand zhang, floated above Zhuge Yu.
It had a tail that extended three hundred zhang, and its entire body resembled that of a crow.
The imposing figure of the bird exuded an aura of dominance.
It possessed three sharp giant claws, and its bird-like eyes glowed red, resembling two burning pools of magma in its eye sockets.
As it appeared, everyone behind Tan Yun felt a scorching wave of heat surging towards them, engulfing them.
Under the oppressive heat wave, everyone had difficulty breathing, as if they were about to suffocate.
Only Tan Yun, who possessed primordial flames, was unaffected.
"Buzz—"
Tan Yun summoned the Supreme Exquisite Holy Tower and conveyed a serious message to Dantai Xian'er, Mu Mengyi, and the others, "This is the Three-legged Golden Crow, renowned alongside the Phoenix and other ancient divine birds."
"This Three-legged Golden Crow is already at the stage ten birth period. Its power is astonishing; however, its physical strength is not as strong as mine."
"Moreover, its golden crow divine fire is powerful enough to turn you to ashes in an instant!"
"Except for Old Ape, Big Guy, and Mo'er, everyone else must enter the Exquisite Holy Tower!"
Upon hearing this, everyone, including the eight great clan kings, dared not hesitate and immediately dove into the Exquisite Holy Tower!
The women quickly conveyed their concerns to Tan Yun, urging him to be careful.
After firmly nodding, Tan Yun transmitted again, "Old Ape, didn't you vaguely touch the barrier of the ninth-grade tribulation stage?"
"How much longer until you can advance?"
The heavenly slayer demon ape replied truthfully, "Master, it will take me at least five years at the fastest."
"Even allowing Old Ape to cultivate in the twelfth level of the tower won't be enough time," Tan Yun thought to himself, then transmitted to the heavenly slayer demon ape, the golden dragon spirit lion, and Mo'er, "You all hide in the twelfth level of the Holy Tower. Only strike back when I give the signal!"
"Yes, Master!" The three beasts replied in unison, their sizes shrinking as they entered the tower.
With a thought, the Supreme Exquisite Holy Tower flew into Tan Yun's ear.
Tan Yun's voice was resolute, "I have primordial flames and do not fear the golden crow divine fire."
"The power of the Three-legged Golden Crow, and even its physical strength, pales in comparison to mine!"
"But the deadly factor is its speed, which is three times faster than my fastest speed!"
"Today is destined to be a fierce battle!"
As Tan Yun had anticipated, the greatest strength of the Three-legged Golden Crow was its golden crow divine fire.
Despite not fearing any flames, what Tan Yun truly feared was its terrifying speed and formidable strength!
"Tan Sovereign, what should our Feng clan do?" Feng Tianlun, guarding the time-space tunnel to the Battlefield of the Gods, said with a pale face.
Feng Tianlun and the twelve elders of the Feng clan felt a deep sense of despair!
They hadn't expected that after the heavenly slayer demon ape killed Zhuge Wuliang, the divine soul celestial palace would have a palace guardian divine beast!
And it was a ten-grade birth period Three-legged Golden Crow!
Tan Yun, with a determined expression, transmitted to Feng Tianlun, "Do not be afraid. No matter what, I will slay the Three-legged Golden Crow and destroy the divine soul celestial palace!"
"Later, I will pretend to flee, then counterattack! You all coordinate with me!"
Feng Tianlun did not speak, but he sighed desperately in his heart, "Just the golden crow divine fire of the Three-legged Golden Crow will be invincible. It seems... the Huangfu Sacred Sect is doomed, and so is my Feng clan!"
As Feng Tianlun sighed, the thousand zhang tall Three-legged Golden Crow shot a cold, piercing gaze from its red bird eyes, seemingly piercing through the void and contemptuously staring at Tan Yun, speaking in human language, "Pitiful human, release your people, and I will give you two choices."
