The Chief Patriarch of the Feather Race did not fly out of the valley. Instead, he flew up with the three patriarchs and the three princes to the Mountain of Wings in the north.
The mountain was towering. Standing on the peak, one could see an area with a radius of thirty miles. Undoubtedly, it was a good place to control the overall situation.
On the peak of the mountain stood a huge statue of a lady similar to the Feather Race.
The lady had a pair of wings on her back and wore a green armor. She was a stunning beauty with an air of immortality. One look from the distance would make people want to worship her and they would not have the slightest intention to disrespect her.
Below the statue was a huge altar. Next to the altar was a castle. The Chief Patriarch and the others were standing in front of the castle, gazing to the south.
"Boom, boom, boom ~"
From the distance came a muffled sound. It was like a drum pounding on people's hearts. Outside the valley, many warriors began to panic.
Lu Li's name was well-known. Though he had not shown up yet, he had already put pressure on many Feather Race warriors.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
The footsteps were getting heavier but the frequency did not increase. Every one breath, there would be two footsteps, which was slow.
Clearly, Lu Li was being cautious as well. Or, he was slowing down on purpose to put more pressure on the Feather Race.
"What is that?"
"Why are the footsteps so heavy?
I think I feel the ground is shaking. "
"Your feeling is correct. The ground is indeed trembling. A giant beast is approaching."
"We are flying so high. I think we can see for at least three miles.
How can the footsteps be so terrifying from a distance of more than three miles?
Is this beast the legendary Beast God? "
The average Feather Race warriors did not know about the Dragon Demon. The higher-ups of the Feather Race deliberately withheld the information in case the morale was affected.
One Lu Li had already put the Feather Race in a state of panic. If the news of the Dragon Demon was spread out, many Feather Race warriors would flee before the battle even started.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
The footsteps kept coming. What shocked the Feather Race warriors was that … the footsteps had been coming for the time for half an incense stick to burn and they still did not see the Dragon Demon. What was more, the ground was shaking.
The beast was dozens of miles away and yet it was making the ground shake. How powerful was the beast?
Many of the Harpy soldiers found it hard to believe. A few of the more cowardly Harpy soldiers were already preparing to flee.
"God of Wings above, what is that —"
A cry of alarm suddenly rang out. Countless Harpy soldiers, who were already on edge, immediately turned to look in the direction of the voice. After a few glances, they were all stunned.
In the distance, a fiery-red beast could be seen flickering in and out of sight. If it weren't for the fact that this was a plain, most Harpies would have mistaken it for a mountain.
A surge of beast energy came from the distance. Many of the Feather Race felt suffocated even though they could not see the Dragon Demon.
Compared to the Dragon Demon, they were like flies, so puny, so humble.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
The Dragon Demon moved forward at a moderate pace. Every time its thick limbs moved, there would be a deep pit on the ground. If there were rocks nearby, the ground would crack.
Its wings, which looked like a Kun Peng, occasionally opened and flapped slightly, covering the sky within a radius of thousands of feet around it.
Its emotionless eyes caused many of the Harpy soldiers to feel a chill run down their spines. Its glowing white teeth seemed capable of crushing any enemy it encountered.
Many of the Feather Race could no longer stand the overwhelming energy of the Dragon Demon. They were about to fall from the sky.
"Look, there is someone on the head of that beast!"
Another one of the Feather Race shouted. Many people turned to the Dragon Demon's head. What they saw shocked them again.
Standing on the head of the Dragon Demon was a man in a cyan robe. The man's robe was not luxurious, and he did not have any fancy decorations. He did not use any Relic weapon to show off. He just stood on the head of the Dragon Demon quietly.
He looked young. Compared to the Feather Race, he was not particularly good-looking. But he was not bad. There was something about him that could not be put into words.
His white hair was tied up and tossed to the back of his head. At the moment, his hair was dancing in the wind.
Without a doubt!
Lu Li's temperament was good, especially his calmness, which would not change even if a mountain was pressing down on him. That look of disdain from the world added to his charm.
No matter how beautiful a woman was, she would be nothing but a vase without a unique temperament.
It was the same for men. No matter how handsome a man was, if he didn't have any special temperament, he would at most be a pretty boy.
Lu Li was young, but he had been bullied, carried coffins, hunted down and killed many. He had many subordinates. He had weathered through storms and enjoyed wealth. He had looked up to the Great Land and looked down upon all heroes in the world.
Not to mention Lu Li, anyone would have a different temperament after going through so much.
If Lu Renhuang was an unsheathed sword, showing off its edge and unstoppable.
Lu Li was like a sword that had just been unsheathed. He looked gentle, but no one dared to ignore his sharpness.
He appeared to be peaceful, but inside, he was crazier and wilder than Lu Renhuang.
Gold makes the man, and clothes make the man.
Lu Li was not relying on his fancy robe. He was standing on the Dragon Demon, which was even more shocking.
If you wanted to become a giant, the easiest way was to stand on the shoulders of giants. However, Lu Li was currently standing on the head of a giant!
The strength of the Dragon Demon shocked many Feather Race warriors. But Lu Li was standing on the head of the Dragon Demon.
This meant that he was more powerful than the Dragon Demon. He was the master of the Dragon Demon. He had tamed the Dragon Demon. Otherwise, how could someone stand on the head of such a powerful beast?
Silence!
Outside the Valley of Feather were an army of ten million. Over half of the Feather Race's warriors and powerful ones were gathered here. They covered the mountains and plains, and there was no end in sight.
However —
At the moment, the army of ten million and more than half of the powerful Feather Race warriors were suffocated by the man and the beast.
It was as if Lu Li was not a human being, but a god, undefeatable. Not even the army of ten million could stop the man and the beast.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
The Dragon Demon was moving closer and closer. Its energy was pressing down like a mountain, fighting against the momentum of the army of ten million. However, the Dragon Demon was able to suppress the Feather Race warriors easily.
"How, how, how …"
The three princes stared at the Dragon Demon and Lu Li who were getting closer. The contempt and arrogance in their eyes were gone, replaced by fear, fear from the depth of their souls.
"Phew, phew ~"
The only one that remained calm was the Chief Patriarch of the Feather Race. She looked up at the Dragon Demon that was as tall as the mountain. She forced a smile.
