Chapter 265: Plucking Stars and Seizing the Moon

The Golden-Winged Roc's gaze was icy cold; as it opened and closed its eyes, golden lightning bolts shot forth, and a trace of overwhelming aura leaked out, shaking the entire primeval forest. All creatures trembled in fear, and some exotic beasts even prostrated themselves in worship.

The people of Dan City were terrified, and all the powerhouses had thoughts of fleeing. This supreme being was too terrifying; they were no match and would perish here.

Its entire body spewed golden blood energy, piercing through heaven and earth, like an eternal immortal furnace. The stars in the sky were shaken by its unparalleled might, as if they would sink and fall to the earth at any moment.

"Hear my command, all experts of the Dan Valley: activate the killing formation of Dan City with full force!" At this moment, Dan Lao strode through the void, his deep voice reaching the ears of all the experts of the Dan Valley. He had sensed the murderous intent of the Golden-Winged Roc.

Just as his words fell, dozens of figures shot out from the alchemy convention grounds, each exuding overwhelming aura, every one of them a peerless powerhouse guarding a region.

Rumble! The experts merged into the killing formation, spewing overwhelming aura, their battle energy soaring into the sky, extremely terrifying. One after another, giant dragons appeared above Dan City, their terrifying energy fluctuations surging like tidal waves!

The colossal dragons pierced through the sky, rising straight up from beneath Dan City! This scene, extremely stirring to the soul, blotted out the starry sky, the heavens shook, and terrifying blood energy spewed forth.

At this moment, in a mysterious void, there was a sudden tremor! An extremely terrifying formation was awakening, an indescribably dreadful aura enveloping the entire void, chilling one to the bone.

In an instant, countless blood-energy true dragons surged out from all over Dan City—not just one, but tens of thousands of them! An overwhelming aura fully awakened, soaring to heaven and earth, shaking the entire primeval forest.

"What a terrifying formation!" The powerhouses were immensely shaken, a shock that came from the depths of their souls. Facing the terrifying energy fluctuations in the void, they felt like a small boat on a vast ocean.

"This must be the Dan Valley's trump card." The two old men from the Heavenly Dao Alliance exchanged glances, both showing a trace of shock in their eyes. They had never expected the Dan Valley to possess such hidden strength.

At this moment, Dan Lao, his body enveloped in golden mist, turned to look at the two old men from the Heavenly Dao Alliance and said with a slight smile, "I entrust the younger generation below to your care, elders."

"We dare not accept such praise." The two quickly cupped their hands, and their bodies instantly appeared in the alchemy convention grounds. They sat cross-legged in the air, and from within their bodies surged a wave of ethereal energy that sealed off the entire venue completely.

"Something's happened." At the sudden change, Yang Tian's expression shifted slightly. He murmured to himself, then closed his eyes. If the sky falls, there will be tall people to hold it up.

In the primeval forest, terrifying murderous intent surged, and the void emitted clanging sounds like swords being drawn from their sheaths. The scales on the Golden-Winged Roc's body clattered loudly!

"I hope this fellow won't break the covenant." Dan Zong stared at the Golden-Winged Roc. His body appeared high in the sky, standing atop the head of a giant dragon, exuding an aura that shook the world.

Chirp chirp...! At that moment, its body moved. Its form, too vast for heaven and earth to contain, erupted with ten thousand zhang of divine light, dazzling and brilliant. The heavens swayed as it spread its wings and swooped down.

The sky shook and the earth quaked; this realm was about to overturn. The Golden-Winged Roc's speed was terrifying; in an instant, it swept across the sky, its massive claws pressing down to crush everything below.

"Powerhouses, aid me!" Dan Lao shouted, inhaling the essence of the eight directions. Ten thousand blood-energy true dragons soared upward, coiling together to form a blood-red pillar of light that stretched to the heavens, blocking the way.

Boom! The stars shook, the sun and moon seemed about to fall. The Golden-Winged Roc's divine power was overwhelming, crushing the blood-red pillar of light, which cracked and crumbled bit by bit.

All the powerhouses struck out. Vast blood energy suddenly surged, and multicolored divine light instantly transformed into a terrifying heavenly river, crashing toward the giant claw.

The terrifying claw advanced almost unimpeded through the sky. With the momentum to sweep across the eight wastelands, it spewed overwhelming divine power, crushing the attacks bit by bit, a sight so fearsome it made one's heart tremble.

At this moment, a terrifying figure stepped forward. As his eyes opened and closed, surging battle intent poured forth. He bore some resemblance to Dan Qu, and in his hand was a zhang-long golden greatbow that emitted piercing beams of light.

Twang! The terrifying middle-aged man spoke no words; he drew the bow and nocked a massive red arrow. The arrow shaft was icy cold, and with the twang of the bowstring, overwhelming divine light shot forth.

Like a meteor falling, the heavens shook. The arrow's energy soared into the sky, producing a terrifying sonic boom as it pierced through the void, carrying layers of void energy, and struck heavily at the giant claw.

Clang! Sparks flew. The terrifying arrow emitted a metallic scraping sound, as if striking an indestructible rock, causing one's heart and spirit to tremble.

Boom! The terrifying giant claw shook violently, cracking the sky, and the great stars nearly fell. In an instant, it scattered the arrow!

"How terrifying!" The middle-aged man's pupils suddenly contracted. He couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement. That killing strike just now could have nailed even a great power!

The powerhouses roared wildly, uttering earth-shaking cries. Dan Lao's heart trembled violently. The energy gathered in the void was so vast, yet it had not inflicted even a single wound. The one who had just struck was a peerless powerhouse guarding a region.

The Golden-Winged Roc seemed to sneer. The group before it were like ants in its eyes. It was so powerful that even the void trembled; one claw could overturn this place.

"Do you not fear breaking your oath?!" Dan Lao's divine might remained undiminished. His hair danced wildly as he stood between heaven and earth, his bearing transcendent, and he shouted coldly.

"Rules are established by the strong!" The Golden-Winged Roc spoke coldly, and boundless murderous intent spread. It was enraged, unafraid to break its oath, ready to slaughter humanity and leave a million corpses.

"Well said: rules are established by the strong." At this moment, just as everyone was terrified, an aged voice resounded through the void, echoing across the eight wastelands. The voice was firm and resonant, extremely formidable.

"It's Valley Elder!" Upon hearing this, a hint of joy appeared on Dan Lao's face. A few of the Dan Valley's strongest experts also showed delight. This figure, who had been hidden in the Dan Valley for decades, was about to act.

"So this is the Dan Valley's greatest trump card?" The two old men from the Heavenly Dao Alliance exchanged glances, communicating through divine souls.

Its golden eyes paused for a moment, and terrifying divine light pierced through layers of void, causing the surrounding heavens to crack.

Boom! Suddenly, a vast heavenly hand appeared between heaven and earth, towering like a mountain range, rising straight up. A terrifying powerhouse had made a move, extending to the sky and plucking down a great star.

The vast heavenly hand plucked stars and seized the moon, shocking the eight wastelands. All the powerhouses were shaken. This was a fearsome technique; the one who acted was extremely formidable.

Bang! The great star fell, the void collapsed and sank. The star covered the sky, its power so immense it made one's heart and spirit tremble, and it struck heavily at the top of the Golden-Winged Roc's head.

Boom! The Golden-Winged Roc's terrifying form dissipated, replaced by a zhang-tall humanoid body, its whole body radiating dazzling divine light like a vast ocean striking the heavens.

Rumble! A rumbling sound echoed between heaven and earth, like ten thousand horses galloping and war chariots roaring. An incomparably fierce aura shocked the ten directions. In the Golden-Winged Roc's hand appeared a halberd.

The halberd, over three zhang long, was stained with bloodstains and exuded a fierce aura. This weapon had been stained with the blood of peerless experts, which had not dissipated to this day, coalescing into a fierce aura.

"Perish!" The Golden-Winged Roc roared wildly, shaking the eight wastelands. Divine light surged to the heavens. It struck across the nine heavens, and the halberd crushed everything, piercing through the great star, which exploded violently in the void. Huge star fragments flew through the air—an extremely terrifying scene.
