Chapter 547: The Fear Carved Deep in the Bloodline, the Golden Eagle Race's Great Upheaval

After the members of the Golden Eagle Race brought over a hundred Spirit Fruits and all sorts of Treasures of Heaven and Earth, the Golden Eagle Ancestor ordered them to take everything to a certain place. The Nine-tailed Fox then casually pulled the treasures toward her.

Even now, the members of the Golden Eagle Race still hadn’t figured out what was going on. Why had their Ancestor suddenly ordered them to bring over so many resources?

In truth, they couldn’t see the battle scene, which was obscured by the Primitive Ancient Forest. There wasn’t the slightest stir from below—not even a sound. The disturbance had been too minimal for anyone to notice. No one knew what had happened. Besides, they had always believed their Ancestor was invincible. How could he possibly lose? Especially without a sound? They couldn’t understand why such a thing as delivering resources was happening.

Indeed, they couldn’t comprehend it. Logically, their Ancestor should have crushed the enemy and returned triumphant!

But there hadn’t even been a fight—not the slightest commotion—when their Ancestor suddenly sent a message through their bloodline, ordering everyone to bring all the resources from Cloud Cliff. This even included a hundred Spirit Fruits!

To put it in perspective, most members of the Golden Eagle Race had never even seen these Spirit Fruits before. In the past, they wouldn’t have dared approach Cloud Cliff, yet now, they were being told to bring everything out.

What’s more, it seemed all these resources were about to be taken away by the enemy!

“What in the world is going on?”

“How can this be? Don’t tell me the Ancestor lost to them? What is going on? That’s enough resources to cultivate several Great Dominators beyond the Spirit Control Realm!”

The Great Demons of the Golden Eagle Race did not understand, but they had no choice but to carry out their Ancestor’s command, even though they were unaware of his current condition.

In their eyes, the bloodline connection was the most powerful constraint. As descendants of the Golden Eagle Ancestor, they could not defy him. Now that an order had been given, they had to carry it out to the best of their ability.

The Golden Eagle Ancestor, for his part, made no mention of his injuries, let alone the fact that he was using all these resources to ransom his own life.

If word of this got out, it would more or less undermine his authority among the other demons in the clan, so he simply kept it hidden.

Of course, he couldn’t keep it hidden for long. After all, all four of his limbs had been severed. His combat power had plummeted to rock bottom, and he was struggling to even maintain his Transformation!

If he had to hold on for just a moment longer, he would be forced to revert to his original form. Fortunately, after Jiang Qiu received the Spirit Fruits, he didn’t make things difficult for the Ancestor. The Nine-tailed Fox retracted the red, blood-like threads formed from Heaven and Earth Spirit Charm. “That’s enough. You can take your clan and leave.”

Her voice was icy, devoid of even a hint of emotion. ‘A once unassailable True Dominator, a being that countless creatures should fear, is now groveling on the ground like a dog, not even qualified to stand. So this is the power I now command.’

‘I was able to effortlessly sever the limbs of the Golden Eagle Ancestor in his transformed state and even manipulate the Heaven and Earth Spirit Charm from a distance to attack, or rather, to control.’

‘It’s this power that gives me this feeling of profound, almost otherworldly, transformation. In the blink of an eye, I feel like I’ve surpassed countless members of the Demon Race from bygone eras.’

‘And this transformation, without a doubt, all comes from Jiang Qiu. If I hadn’t met my master, Jiang Qiu, how could I have so easily achieved Transformation and mastered the Cultivation Technique for the Nine-tailed Form?’

‘It was only because I cultivated the Nine-tailed Form that I managed to learn how to control the Heaven and Earth Spirit Charm. And only then could I condense the Heaven and Earth Spirit Charm with a sharp cutting attribute, which allowed me to sever the Golden Eagle Ancestor’s limbs.’

‘Forget the Golden Eagle Ancestor’s limbs—I feel that within the Transformation Realm, there is nothing that can withstand my attacks. This confidence is a gift from Jiang Qiu.’

‘It’s as if everyone else is still practicing martial arts, while I have already begun to cultivate immortality. The difference in power is like attacking from a higher dimension. How could any other member of the Demon Race possibly compete with me?’

‘Perhaps even the bearers of the Chaos Bloodline from deep within the Primitive Ancient Forest might not be able to fight me. If we were at the same Realm, they would not necessarily be able to withstand my attacks.’

‘If I can advance one more step, perhaps my own Realm won’t be any lower than that of the Chaos Bloodlines deep in the Primitive Ancient Forest.’

At this thought, the Nine-tailed Fox looked to Jiang Qiu. “Master, are we going to the next Great Dominator’s territory now, or should we cultivate first?”

‘In my eyes,’ she thought, ‘only Jiang Qiu can lead me. I have to listen to him to walk further down the path of Cultivation. This is the surest path to power!’

‘This sense of superiority I feel, of having transcended others, was all given to me by Jiang Qiu. If I follow him and cultivate diligently, maybe I can even glimpse the next Realm—one I never even dared to dream of!’

She wasn’t clear on the Cultivation Realms of the Demon Race. It seemed every member of the Demon Race walked their own path of Cultivation, with no unified system of measurement.

However, Jiang Qiu’s understanding dictated that the Cultivation System did, in fact, have distinct Realm tiers. As long as she cultivated alongside him, she could walk a grand path with a clear, structured progression.

For example, she had now reached the Perfection stage of the Transformation Realm and had no idea how to continue her Cultivation. But Jiang Qiu was completely confident, having promised to guide her…

“First, let’s take care of all Eight Great Dominators and finish collecting the Spirit Fruits. Then we’ll find a place to cultivate,” Jiang Qiu said. “It’ll be the perfect chance to help you break through to the next Realm. The stronger you become, the more you can help me.”
