79: Chapter 79 Breakthrough to Bronze

The Blue Luan did not hesitate at all.

It let out a shrill, long cry, its wings suddenly flapping as it charged straight toward the raven above its head!

A trace of mockery flashed in the eyes of that Silver-rank Raven.

Seeking death.

It spread its wings and dove down!

The distance between the two sides closed rapidly—

Three hundred meters.

One hundred meters.

Fifty meters!

At the very moment they were about to collide—

The Blue Luan suddenly banked to the side!

At an incredible angle, it grazed the edge of that diving black figure. Using the strong wind from the opponent's dive, it forcibly pulled itself upward by a dozen meters!

It broke through!

Qin Ce felt a surge of joy in his heart.

But in the next moment, his smile froze.

The raven above had indeed been left behind—

But two other Silver-rank Ravens had caught up at some unknown point!

This was exactly what they had been waiting for!

To break through the interception of that single raven, the Blue Luan had exhausted its last bit of stamina for acceleration.

At this moment, although its speed was fast, its body no longer had the ability to adjust.

And these two Silver-rank Ravens were less than thirty meters behind it!

"Gah—!!!"

The two ravens opened their giant beaks simultaneously, and pitch-black energy condensed frantically—

Two Wind Arrows, one from the left and one from the right, shot out at the same time!

Those Wind Arrow feathers were different from those of ordinary ravens—they were more solid, blacker, with silver light faintly flowing on the surface, carrying dark energy sufficient to corrode everything!

This was a full-strength strike from the Silver-rank Ravens!

The Blue Luan had nowhere to hide.

Its body had already reached its limit. Its stamina was almost completely drained.

Qin Ce's pupils constricted suddenly.

He knew that if this strike hit, the Blue Luan would surely die.

Without any hesitation.

He suddenly stood up from the Blue Luan's back, condensing the maximum amount of wind energy in front of him with both hands.

He tried to block those two arrow feathers.

However, how could Black Iron possibly block Silver? Even Qin Ce's action was a subconscious behavior.

"Puchi!"

Two Ink Feathers pierced through his body simultaneously!

One passed through his right shoulder, and one through his left leg, bringing up two clouds of blood mist that bloomed into eye-catching crimson flowers in the air.

Qin Ce let out a muffled groan, his entire body sent flying backward by that massive force, falling directly from the Blue Luan's back!

"Chirp—!!!"

The Blue Luan let out a heart-wrenching shriek, a sound full of terror, anger, and despair!

It dove desperately, trying to catch its falling master.

But how could those ravens give it the chance?

The three Silver ravens entangled it tightly, using sharp claws, feathered arrows, and iron wings to force it back again and again.

Below, Qin Ce's figure grew smaller and smaller—

Falling straight toward the mountain forest thousands of meters below!

The Blue Luan charged at the ravens' encirclement like crazy time and again, more and more wounds appearing on its body, feathers falling in large patches, and blood drawing shrill red lines in the air.

Seeing that Qin Ce was about to fall to his death.

"Chirp—!!!"

The Blue Luan let out a long cry that was shrill to the extreme!

In that sound, there was despair and fear, but even more—

There was anger!

An anger that burned everything!

Damn ravens!

The Blue Luan's eyes instantly turned into a sheet of red-gold.

A power never felt before, coming from the deepest part of its soul, erupted from its body like a volcanic explosion!

That power was too strong, too pure, so much so that even the surrounding air began to tremble!

In his blurred vision as he fell, Qin Ce saw a scene he would never forget for the rest of his life—

The Blue Luan roared toward the sky!

The blue light around it flared intensely, the brightness so piercing it was almost impossible to look at directly!

Countless streaks of blue energy surged from its body, forming a massive blue vortex around it that spun frantically!

"Crack—"

A crisp sound, as if something had shattered, came from within its body.

It was the sound of a genetic lock shattering.

It was the sound of bloodline shackles being broken through.

It was—

The sound of a major realm breakthrough from Black Iron to Bronze!

The Blue Luan's size exploded again, its wingspan expanding from the original five meters directly to nearly eight meters! Its feathers were no longer simple azure-green, but shimmered with a faint golden-blue light, with the edge of every feather appearing as if inlaid with golden threads!

The most terrifying part was its eyes—those eyes that were originally just azure-gold had now turned completely pure gold. Deep within the pupils, two clumps of never-extinguishing blue flames seemed to be burning!

It hovered in the air, its wings slowly unfolding, the blue energy surrounding it so dense it was almost about to condense into substance.

The Blue Luan's aura, in this instant, climbed frantically like a blowout!

Black Iron Peak—

bronze low-grade—

mid-grade bronze—

It only slowly stopped until it reached the peak of mid-grade bronze!

And with the breakthrough of the realm, the second seal of that mythic-grade talent within its body—

Opened with a boom!

Nine-fold Azure Sky · Second Characteristic—[Wind Control] awakened!

[Nine-fold Azure Sky · Second Layer · Wind Control]

[Effect 1: Transform external wind elements for one's own use. Can absorb all surrounding wind energy (including the enemy's wind attacks), convert it into one's own energy reserves, and can stack the absorbed energy into one's own attacks. Similar to the 'Star-Shifting' of the wind system.]

[Effect 2: Phoenix Flow. The dissipated energy from skills released by oneself, natural wind elements, or dissipated energy from wind attacks released by other fierce beasts can all be controlled within a certain range. They are regathered behind oneself, forming wind energy like a phoenix tail, and can absorb wind energy to strengthen attacks. Similar to 'Great Heaven and Earth Shift'.]

[Effect 3: Spring Breeze into Dew. Absorbed wind energy can be used to recover one's own injuries and stamina, greatly improving sustained combat capability.]

[Effect 4: Enhances the effect of the Roaming Dragon talent. In the 'Wind Control Phoenix Tail' state, one's sensitivity to the wind system increases. Can predict all skills that cause air movement and use that force to dodge. Flight speed and aerial agility increase by 300%, like a Roaming Dragon entering the sea, galloping at will. Combined with Phoenix Flow, it produces a new skill—Flowing Cloud Wave Roll.]
