Chapter 887 Heavenly roc

The heavenly roc"s pair of bright yellow eyes appeared surprisingly lifelike, as if they truly belonged to a lofty, unparalleled magic beast instead of a bolt of heavenly tribulation!  And yet, those same eyes were now peering down on Shun Long as if they were staring at an insignificant worm that wasn"t even qualified to be in its presence.

Indifference, apathy, cold-bloodedness, as well as disdain. Those were the emotions that flashed through the heavenly roc"s eyes as it stared at the blue-robed young man sitting cross-legged on the ground.

Tilting his head to look at the "heavenly roc" in the sky, even Shun Long couldn"t help but feel a trace of shock sprouting in his heart as he mumbled in surprise

""A golden roc...?""

Hearing Shun Long"s question, Little Black couldn"t contain his anger any longer as he said angrily

""Master, this heavenly tribulation is really ruthless! Not only is it set on destroying master"s soul, but it even dares to take the form of such a disgusting beast! Even with master"s spiritual strength, I"m afraid...""

Little Black didn"t dare to continue his train of thought, but his gaze had turned increasingly cold as he stared at the figure of the heavenly roc that had almost finished condensing itself.

It seemed as if all of the remaining lightning in the cloud of heavenly tribulation had coalesced together to complete the image of this golden roc.

Shun Long didn"t say anything else either, but a serious look could be seen in his eyes as he stared at the figure of the golden roc in the sky. Others may be unaware of why Little Black was so angry, but how could Shun Long not understand him?

After all, in Little Black"s eyes, this was indeed the highest degree of insult and humiliation towards someone like him who possessed the pure bloodline of a dragon.

Throughout the entire Immortal Dimension, it was common knowledge that dragons and heavenly rocs were irreconcilable, mortal enemies with immense pride. Additionally, as legendary-rank magic beasts, heavenly rocs were among the few types of magic beasts that were strong enough to rival dragons.

And yet, the heavenly tribulation had chosen to take the form of a golden roc this time.

What was this if not an attempt to completely humiliate Shun Long?

However, that wasn"t the part that angered Little Black the most, but the fact that out of all the different types of heavenly rocs that existed under the heavens, this heavenly tribulation had specifically chosen to take the form of a golden roc, the only type of roc that was innately born with comprehension of the Dao of Devourment!

Attempting to punish Shun Long was one thing, but how could Little Black calmly watch as a golden roc "devoured" his master?

Besides, it was said that the heavens would always leave out a small path of survival in every tribulation, regardless of how "slim" that path may be. However, with his experience, Little Black could tell that there didn"t even seem to be the slightest trace of that in this particular heavenly tribulation.

Even if there were 3 additional bolts of heavenly tribulation, Little Black was still confident that Shun Long would be alright with his monstrous reserves of spiritual strength that rivaled even those of a peak rank 6 Dao Emperor.

At worst, he would slightly damage his spiritual sea and would have to spend a few years recuperating, but that was it. Even if Shun Long had to spend a couple of years recovering, Little Black wouldn"t have batted an eye as long as his life was unharmed.

However, it was obvious that the power of this golden roc in the sky far exceeded the combined power of the 3 bolts of heavenly tribulation that Shun Long had faced earlier.

The aura it was emitting was so powerful, that even rank 7 and rank 8 Dao Emperors would turn to ash in front of it, their spiritual seas obliterated in an instant!

Of course, this only served to show how enraged the heavens had truly turned this time, after Shun Long used a skill like his "World Zero".

Such a heaven-defying ability had touched upon the purest laws of time, manipulating them at his will, something that even immortals and devils were unable to do!

Although Shun Long"s "World Zero" had only affected this mortal world alone, and was not powerful enough to affect the laws of the Immortal Dimension, it was obvious that the heavens would not possibly tolerate his actions and leave him unharmed.

""Screeeh!""

A moment after Shun Long"s bright golden eyes met the roc"s gaze, the enormous roc in the sky spread its ma.s.sive golden wings that were still crackling with sparks of white lightning and opened its gigantic mouth as it let out an ear-piercing screech, before it descended straight towards Shun Long who was still sitting on the ground unmoving!

Sensing the golden roc"s overbearing aura that had already locked down on him, even Shun Long knew that he could not afford to hold back any longer.

In the next moment, the blood essence in his heart started to boil and burn furiously, causing his entire body to heat up, as pitch-black scales that looked like they were made from darkness itself covered his entire body.

At the same time, his entire body started to emit a bright golden light with a pale azure hue, while a pitch-black ball of flames had already appeared in his right hand!

""Time Siphon.""

""Flames of Destruction.""

Clearly, the golden light around Shun Long originated from his "Time Siphon", while the black flames in his hand were his strongest offensive ability coming from his dragon"s bloodline, the "Flames of Destruction"!

Without a doubt, "Time Siphon" was Shun Long"s most powerful skill, while his "Flames of Destruction" were enough to burn even a peak rank 9 Dao King to ashes!

Although the "Time Siphon"s" destruction radius may not be comparable to the third form of the "ThunderG.o.d"s" slash", in terms of its overall effects, Shun Long knew that it was actually far superior!

And yet, the figure of the heavenly roc seemed to have completely disregarded the golden light around Shun Long or the ball of flames in his hand, as if they were beneath its notice in the first place, as it continued to plunge straight towards him at full speed!

In the next moment, Shun Long"s golden eyes seemed like a vast ocean as they stared at the majestic-looking bird made from pure lightning that appeared in front of him, before he finally punched forward without holding back.
