Battle Through the Heavens: Purple Heaven Thunder Emperor

Chapter 54 Purple Clouds

The black scroll unfurled, and a pair of eagle wings slowly appeared. The eagle was not large, but it looked very long.

The eagle's wings are entirely black, with a metallic sheen and faint purple cloud patterns, adding a touch of exquisite luxury to the otherwise ordinary wings.

Looking at the lifelike wings on the scroll, I couldn't help but take it a little closer. I saw that the gentle breeze was blowing on the scroll, and the tiny feathers on the eagle's wings were being fluttered and swaying in the wind.

"That's amazing!" Xiao Bai exclaimed in surprise.

After examining it for a moment, my gaze settled on a line of small print to the side:

"The Blackflame Purple Cloud Eagle, a fifth-tier magical beast, is said to possess a trace of ancient phoenix bloodline. Its flight speed ranks among the top of all flying magical beasts. It is cunning and ferocious by nature, extremely difficult to capture, and mostly inhabits the southern region of the continent, the Cloud Mist area!"

"This combat technique, named Eagle Wings, also known as Purple Cloud Wings, was created by me and several friends after a great deal of time spent capturing a Black Flame Purple Cloud Eagle. However, fate intervened, and we met with this calamity. On my deathbed, I saw these wings and felt deep regret. Therefore, I used a secret method of battle qi to create them. This technique can only be practiced by one person at a time; future generations must remember this!"

At this moment, the old doctor floated over, looked at the line of small characters, and sighed, "It seems that the person in this cave was a man of strong character in his lifetime!"

Sensing the wings within the scroll, he stroked his beard and continued, "However, the secret technique used in this combat skill is quite peculiar, fusing the soul of the Purple Cloud Eagle with its wings. No wonder such combat skills are so rare now; it turns out one needs to understand these strange and unusual methods!"

"Senior didn't know this secret technique before either?" Xiao Bai asked, a little puzzled, seeing that he seemed to be seeing it for the first time.

"Someone once asked me to refine pills in exchange for this, but I refused. This thing isn't very useful. Only people below the Dou Wang level are interested in it. What's the point of learning it?" Yao Lao said with a bit of arrogance.

Born into an imperial family, he was not highly regarded, but he possessed extraordinary insight. Among the ancient races, was becoming a Battle King a problem?

It might be acceptable for some people with weak bloodlines, but within the imperial clan, using this would be a feat if you didn't get ridiculed, let alone show off. This thing is practically worthless within the imperial clan.

Xiao Bai smiled upon hearing this. He knew about Yao Lao's background and roughly understood the reason behind it.

Xiao Bai turned his gaze back to the scroll, which contained not only an introduction but also detailed cultivation methods. He began to read it carefully.

Xiao Bai completely ignored the last sentence, "I advise those who obtain this knowledge not to practice it unless they are absolutely certain they can withstand the soul attack of the Black Flame Purple Cloud Eagle!"

It's just a fifth-tier magical beast; even its soul at its peak wouldn't pose a threat to it, let alone now that it's just a remnant soul.

Following the method in the scroll, Xiao Bai stretched out his hands and gently pressed down on the wings, feeling a soft, downy sensation coming from his palms.

A short while later, sensing the unusual movement in the scroll, a violent aura emanated from the wings, and suddenly a cry of an eagle, which only the soul could perceive, rang out.

A ripple, barely visible to the naked eye, surged toward Xiao Bai's head amidst the sound.

Xiao Bai scanned that power with his soul and secretly shook his head. It was too weak! To him, it was like a gentle breeze.

Seeing that its attack was futile, the remnant soul of the Purple Cloud Eagle in the scroll let out several more urgent cries, each one sharper than the last.

Xiao Bai remained unmoved, embodying the attitude of "let him be strong, it's like a gentle breeze brushing the mountain."

Seeing that the soul's screams had no effect, the eagle spirit remained silent for a moment in the scroll before a more violent emotion suddenly erupted.

Xiao Bai sensed a violent soul rushing out of the scroll and heading towards his sea of ​​consciousness along his arm. He was a little speechless. Could anyone just go into his sea of ​​consciousness?

There's a big shot living there, the kind of person even he can't do anything about.

Forget it, it's had enough fun, let's not let it go to the sea of ​​consciousness.

The soul force rushed directly towards the eagle spirit on the arm and collided with it. The eagle spirit, which had been incredibly swift just moments before, froze instantly, almost causing the weakened soul to dissipate.

Lacking much intelligence, it instinctively felt fear. Before it could react, Xiao Bai's soul power directly pressed it back onto the eagle's wing on the scroll.

Then, using the method described in the scroll to form hand seals, the purple cloud patterns on the scroll's wings emitted a faint light, absorbing the eagle's soul.

"Now I can begin cultivating!" Xiao Bai saw the purple light gradually dimming and knew that he was now qualified to cultivate this combat technique.

He circulated his internal fighting spirit using the scroll method. When the fighting spirit appeared in his palm, he input it into the scroll. Instantly, the scroll shone brightly, transforming into two thin, purplish-black rays that shot into his palm.

The purplish-black light flowed along the meridians, eventually stopping at the scapular meridians on both sides of Xiao Bai's back, where two small branches opened up.

A sharp pain shot through him, but Xiao Bai merely frowned and didn't react much.

After experiencing the positive thunder of Yi wood and the yang thunder of Bing fire, when it comes to the ability to endure pain, he can say that he is second to none.

Through observation using his soul power, after the two branch meridians were opened, the light gradually depicted a palm-sized black eagle wing on his back, with some purple cloud patterns appearing on it, exactly the same as on the scroll.

"Is this the Purple Cloud Wing?" Xiao Bai murmured.

With a thought, the fighting spirit within his body circulated, flowing into the tattoo along the two newly opened meridians.

The tattoo on his back gradually lit up, shimmering with purple light, eventually forming a pair of purple energy wings, each about a meter long, with occasional flashes of silver lightning streaking across them.

Xiao Bai carefully controlled the wings and flapped them slightly, instantly lifting his body off the cultivation bed.

Looking down, Xiao Bai's smile gradually widened.

"Haha. Finally, we can fly!"

Seeing his excited expression, the old doctor stroked his beard, smiled, and shook his head.

Only at this moment did he realize that this little guy was still a sixteen or seventeen-year-old youth.

"Don't get too excited yet. Be careful. Many people have accidents on their first flight. You need to control your energy input, maintain balance, and be careful when landing."

Seeing him trying it out as if he had a new toy, the old doctor gently explained many flying techniques to him.

With the old doctor's constant explanation, Xiao Bai quickly mastered it and tried it out in a small area in the cave. Fortunately, the cave ceiling was high enough for him to experiment.

"Thank you, senior!" After landing, Xiao Bai solemnly cupped his hands to Yao Lao.

The old man nodded, looking at the energy wings behind him and exclaiming in admiration:

"Tsk tsk. Xiao Bai, kid, your lightning and wind attributes are really something. These wings are at least 30% faster with the lightning attribute activated. As long as your internal battle qi can support it, your speed can rival that of a high-level Dou Wang!"

Hearing Yao Lao's words, Xiao Bai felt more confident about his flight speed. He turned to look at the wings behind him and saw the occasional streaks of silver lightning. Suddenly, Xiao Bai seemed to have thought of something and stroked his chin, lost in thought.

"If I were to add Xiao Bing's power to the wings, I wonder if I could increase my speed even further?"
