Chapter 426: The Big Picture: Part 1
The Whitebone Giant Bird screamed up into the sky, its wings beating against the ground on either side and in front of it.
The bushes were torn apart in an instant by the great wind pressure. Deep, knife-like cuts appeared on the tree trunks. Dust, debris, and rotten leaves were crushed by the great power, flying up and scattering in the air.
The other Great Dark Spirits gathered around the Giant Bird and began to hunt down the fairy soldiers.
The average fairy soldier was completely helpless against these monsters. At least 20 or 30 soldiers were killed with a single blow.
Seeing this, the senior members of the Fairy Empire immediately ordered all soldiers to disperse and attack remotely. Meanwhile, Silvermoon Hunters and Masked Men worked together to release a variety of special spells, releasing dragons, water balloons, electric balls, and even firebirds.
Some Masked Men also summon elemental-giant-like creatures that charged at the Whitebone Giant Bird. Unfortunately, when these elemental giants got close to the Whitebone Giant Bird, they were easily knocked over by the giant bird’s wings, and their body immediately fell apart.
The situation of the battle was getting more and more anxious. Lin Sheng stood in the crowd, carefully watching all the fairy soldiers who took part in the battle.
However, none of the fairy soldiers could fight against the Whitebone Giant Bird. If this went on, all the soldiers would be wiped out within ten minutes. So he turned his eyes to the senior members of the Fairy Empire on the tree.
There were some senior members of the Fairy Empire standing on the trunks of the giant tree, not participating in the battle. And Golden Phoenix was one of them.
“Never mind, let me handle it.” Golden Phoenix sighed.
Although the Silvermoon Hunters and the Masked Men’s alliance was enough to control the situation, this was the heart of the Fairy Empire, and they could not be defeated in their own territory, so the Golden Phoenix had to join the battle.
The fairy warriors below cheered up and slowly retreated to make room for the Golden Phoenix.
Yet, the Great Dark Spirits did not care. Together with the Whitebone Giant Bird, they kept attacking, encroaching on the new space.
With a single wave of its wings, the Whitebone Giant Bird easily blocked all ranged attacks from the fairy warriors. The wind pressure was so huge that the fairy warriors could not get close to the Giant Bird.
“Get out of the way!” Golden Phoenix swooped down from above, shining in dazzling golden light.
Swooping down from the trunk of the tree, Golden Phoenix swooped like a golden ball of fire in a smooth arc toward the Giant Bird.
For a moment, the color gold and white collided violently. Golden Phoenix burst into flames and grew to a size larger than that of the Whitebone Giant Bird.
It clawed down. A huge claw, half the length of the Giant Bird, pounced on the Whitebone Giant Bird.
Due to the large size of the Golden Phoenix, however, its strength was somewhat scattered, so the claw did no harm to the Whitebone Giant Bird, just causing pain.
*Roar!!*
The Whitebone Giant Bird roared in pain. It tried to break free from the entanglement, but Golden Phoenix tangled it so tightly that it won’t let it go.
Both of them were fighting each other at close quarters. They were neck and neck.
Lin Sheng shook his head slightly. His face was calm, in sharp contrast to the nervous faces around him.
“A-Aren’t you afraid?” asked a young man suddenly.
The young man did not seem to look well. He stood beside the old man, not daring to move.
Lin Sheng was slightly surprised. The young man was able to notice him under such pressure.
“No. The senior members of the Fairy Empire are here, and they will do whatever it takes to keep us safe. If they don’t, it’ll be a great humiliation to the entire Fairy Empire,” Lin Sheng explained softly.
The boy nodded his head. “I understand it. But don’t you think it’s a little scary to see them fighting? What if the Fairy Empire can’t handle it?” The young man suddenly worried.
“Stop talking.” The old man standing beside the young man pressed his shoulder hard.
“Never mind.” Lin Sheng smiled. “You won’t die if they can’t handle the situation.”
The young man paused for a moment, then asked, “Why?”
Lin Sheng did not answer. His eyes fell gently on the beautiful, long-haired woman on the tree trunk.
The Fairy Empress was ready to take action…
The long-haired woman held out her hand and pressed gently.
“The Fairy’s Breath.”
A distant sound like the ringing of a bell came from all sides.
The powerful sound formed a vibrating sound wave and gathered in this small area, shaking all the evil spirits here, including the Whitebone Giant Bird.
The trees began to shake and the ground began to shake. All the plants, branches, insects, and birds around were making noises as if they were shouting and worshipping in the direction of the Fairy Empress.
The Whitebone Giant Bird looked up, trying to roar, but the great shock pinned it to the ground like an immense weight.
Not even the Giant Bird could handle it, let alone the Great Dark Spirits.
The actual strength of these Great Dark Spirits was limited to Three Wings, but they were extremely difficult to deal with because of the physical immunity of their soul. The only similarity between them and the Palatinates was that each of the Great Dark Spirits had a special power of its own.
Just one gentle press of the hand of the Fairy Empress, the battle was reversed.
“So this is the most powerful force here?” Lin Sheng’s goal was finally achieved.
At his level, with tens of thousands of pieces of memory and experience, he just needed to see a single move of the Fairy Empress to deduce and roughly define her level of strength.
Before that, he had judged from the position that the Fairy Empress basically represented the highest combat power here.
“Now that I see it, the battle can be ended.”
Lin Sheng raised his head gently, tore off the gray robe, and strode out of the crowd.
A set of pure white holy armor condensed from numerous white light spots, covering all parts of his body.
Lin Sheng bent his knees slightly and then leaped upward.
*Whoosh!*
His body shot like an arrow into the sky, and in the blink of an eye, he was hundreds of meters above the crowd.
His action attracted the attention of the Fairy Empress at once. The rest of the senior members of the Fairy Empire also looked anxiously in the direction of Lin Sheng.
The young man ran a few steps forward, staring up in surprise at Lin Sheng in the sky.
“That’s… That’s… !!!” The young man was so shocked that he did not know what to say.
In the sky.
Lin Sheng was floating in the air. He suddenly spread out his arms and legs.
The dazzling white light rushed out of his body and scattered in all directions.
Huge beams of light, like a laser beam, illuminated everything in the sea of trees.
“My name is…Holy Emperor.”
Lin Sheng was releasing a powerful holy force. His eyes were shimmering with dark gold and he looked down.
