The Heavens: From Film and Mythology to Conquering Myriad Realms

The Ironback Eagle is a gregarious monster, numerous in number. Once provoked, it will swarm out and fight to the death with its enemy.

Soon, a huge, grayish-brown bird came into Lu Yao's view.

"Human! You're not welcome here, get out!"

The lead ironback eagle had sharp eyes that gleamed with a hint of intelligence.

The intelligence of level seven demonic beasts is no different from that of humans, and some demonic beasts are even more cunning than humans.

"boom!"

Lu Yao ignored the level seven demonic beast Ironback Eagle in front of him and sent a bolt of lightning roaring out with a wave of his hand.

"cracking!"

The violent lightning struck the Ironback Eagle, but instead of injuring it, it aroused its ferocious beastly nature.

Lu Yao retreated rapidly, heading quickly towards the location of Qinghua and the others.

In fact, with Lu Yao's strength, this level seven demon beast would not be his match. However, since Qinghua and the others had taken action, he naturally would not reveal his strength.

A level seven demon beast is extremely fast, let alone a bird. Even though Lu Yao had the advantage of retreating first, he would still be caught up by it very soon.

However, this secret realm was not large after all. In less than a quarter of an hour, Lu Yao led the Ironback Eagle into the formation.

Meanwhile, the pack of the seventh-level demonic beast Ironback Eagle was rapidly closing in.

"boom!"

As soon as the Ironback Eagle stepped into the prepared formation, five deep red beams of light shot into the sky, forming a terrifying array.

"Despicable humans!"

The Ironback Eagle leader roared to the sky, and with a flap of its huge wings, countless wind blades and tornadoes erupted, sweeping towards the surrounding array.

"boom!"

The roar of the great formation and the storm resounded, but the entire formation remained completely still, showing no sign of being broken.

"What is the meaning of this, Fellow Daoist Qinghua?"

But at this moment, Lu Yao's expression turned serious.

Because he discovered that he was also trapped in the formation, Qinghua did not move him out as agreed.

"Fellow Daoist Lu! There's a problem with the formation; we can't move people out of it. Please wait a moment while I begin to repair it."

Qinghua's slightly anxious voice reached Lu Yao's ears, as if a major incident had occurred.

But Lu Yao didn't believe a word of it. This bastard actually wanted to put him and this level seven demon beast together in the great formation.

"Fellow Daoist Qinghua is truly brilliant. By letting that person fight a level seven demonic beast to the death, we can reap the benefits without lifting a finger."

Gu Tingmiao manipulated the formation and said to Qinghua with a smile.

However, a hint of apprehension was revealed deep in his eyes.

Qinghua, however, remained calm and ignored Gu Tingmiao, instead focusing on Lu Yao and the Iron-backed Eagle in the formation.

After several attempts, the Ironback Eagle realized it couldn't break the formation for the time being, so it looked at Lu Yao.

"Humans! Die!"

The Ironback Eagle's eyes turned bloodshot, and countless wind blades attacked Lu Yao.

"Lilong Pearl!"

Lu Yao remained calm as a precious, icy blue orb appeared before him.

Countless bursts of ice mist erupted, instantly condensing into an ice dragon, which slammed away the incoming wind blades with a single claw.

The Ironback Eagle, also enraged, let out a sharp cry and pounced on the Ice Dragon.

"boom!"

The ice dragon is, after all, only an elemental body. Even with Lu Yao's magical power, it is still inferior to the body of a level seven demon beast.

Soon, cracks appeared all over the ice dragon's body, clearly caused by a heavy blow.

However, Lu Yao did not intend to fight the Ironback Eagle, since he could not defeat it with the Lilong Pearl alone.

The ice dragon continued its battle with the ironback eagle, gradually moving towards one of the formations.

"It's now!"

A glint flashed in Lu Yao's eyes, and a streak of emerald green light streaked across the sky. At the same time, the ice dragon used the force to throw the iron-backed eagle into a corner of the formation.

"boom!"

The Green Radiance Sword pierced an inconspicuous spot, instantly unleashing a burst of red light.

"How can this be!"

The entire formation shook, and Qinghua and the others immediately became visible.

With Lu Yao's mastery of array formations, he easily saw through the mere level six array. The position he attacked with the Green Radiance Sword was precisely where the array's weakest and most crucial foundation was located.

The ice dragon that Lu Yao had conjured also dissipated at this moment, and the Ironback Eagle, having lost its target, immediately locked onto Qinghua, who was closest to it.

"cracking!"

With a roar, the Ironback Eagle swooped down towards Qinghua, carrying a terrifying storm around it, even distorting the space around it.

"asshole!"

Qinghua cursed angrily and quickly took out his magic weapon to deal with the situation.

The formation had lost its power due to Lu Yao's destruction of its defenses, so how could he possibly defeat this Ironbacked Eagle by himself?

Gu Tingmiao and the others frowned deeply, and had no choice but to use their magic weapons to fight the Ironback Eagle.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lu Yao concealed his presence and headed towards the mountain peak.

"He's outsmarted us! Quick! Go all out and kill this beast!"

Qinghua had been keeping an eye on Lu Yao, and when she saw that Lu Yao had already gone to pick spiritual items, she was furious.

Lu Yao quickly fled and soon returned to the mountain peak in the center of the secret realm.

Meanwhile, three level-six demonic beasts, all Ironback Eagles, were circling in the sky above the mountain peak.

"boom!"

Without hesitation, Lu Yao summoned the Skull Staff and the Dragon Pearl, and summoned the Spirit Ghost and Ice Dragon to entangle the three level-six Ironback Eagles.

Lu Yao himself then set foot on the mountain peak.

The entire mountain peak was divided into three layers. The first layer was filled with various kinds of spiritual trees, including many thousand-year-old spiritual trees.

With a wave of his hand, Lu Yao, like a bulldozer, unleashed a burst of magical power, directly moving all the spirit trees, roots and all, into the Origin Space.

In less than a quarter of an hour, all the dozens of spirit trees disappeared without a trace, leaving only the pitted and uneven ground.

Lu Yao moved quickly and went straight to the second floor.

The second layer contained various spiritual herbs and medicines. Lu Yao scanned the area with his divine sense and found more than a dozen thousand-year-old spiritual herbs, as well as some spiritual herbs that were extremely rare even in the Chaotic Star Overseas.

Following the same procedure, Lu Yao moved all the spiritual herbs and medicines into the Origin Space, leaving behind a barren area.

The third level is actually the nest of the Ironback Eagle. Lu Yao has already seen many Ironback Eagle cubs and monster eggs, but there is nothing else.

Ironback Eagle is considered a decent monster in the Chaotic Star Sea; even a cub is worth several hundred spirit stones.

Adult Ironback Eagles can generally reach level four, possessing the strength of the late Foundation Establishment stage. Only a small number of exceptionally talented demonic beasts have the potential to break through the barriers and reach level four or higher.

With a wave of his hand, Lu Yao took the dozen or so cubs and monster eggs into his Origin Space.

These monster cubs and monster eggs can be contracted into spirit beasts and can be placed in the Free and Unfettered Space for disciples of the Free and Unfettered Sect to exchange.

After Lu Yao swept the entire mountain peak clean, Qinghua and the others finally killed the level seven demonic beast and arrived at the foot of the mountain.

Upon seeing the ground that had been ransacked, the men's eyes immediately turned red.
