The Demon Core of a Demon Beast itself is a major weapon, with power far greater than that of a Magic Artifact of the same order.

The Golden Winged Tiger's Demon Core struck Mage Ban Gelu, instantly shattering the protective aura he tried to reestablish, and immediately blasted his head apart!

After dealing with Mage Ban Gelu, the purple-black spear engaged in battle with the Thunder Sword Dragon instantly flew aside upon losing its master's control.

Zhou Chun seized the opportunity to maneuver the Thunder Sword Dragon towards Archmage Tumen.

Seeing this situation, Archmage Tumen was so frightened that his soul nearly left him; he dared not continue battling with Zhou Chun, this deadly opponent.

He first took out a Bone Talisman and hurled it towards the Thunder Sword Dragon, using the blue storm formed by the talisman to slightly hinder the Thunder Sword Dragon's attack.

Then, he used a secret technique that overdraws Lifebound Essence to enhance the effect of his Wind Escape Technique.

In an instant, his form transformed into a streak of azure light, soaring towards the sky, actually flying into the Azure Sky Nine Heavens, escaping amidst the fierce winds.

Zhou Chun was certainly unwilling to let this man go easily; the Thunder Sword Dragon, likewise, transformed into lightning to pursue using the Thunder Escape Technique.

But although the Thunder Sword Dragon's speed was not any slower than that of Archmage Tumen, Zhou Chun himself was hard-pressed to keep up.

Once it left the range of his Divine Sense control, the Thunder Sword Dragon's agility significantly decreased, completely unable to continue targeting and pursuing.

Thus, after a round of pursuit, Zhou Chun ultimately couldn't manage to capture Archmage Tumen, who used the unique environment of Azure Sky Nine Heavens to escape!

"Indeed, once Cultivation Level reaches the Golden Core Late Stage, there are always a few stunning trump cards. This individual's fighting prowess isn't particularly strong, but his escape method is certainly eye-catching!"

Standing alone, gazing at the empty Azure Sky Nine Heavens, Zhou Chun couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

However, he didn't remain fixated on it; he quickly composed himself, cleared the battlefield, and then rode atop the Golden Winged Tiger swiftly back to the Great Zhou Kingdom.

This time, having slain several Great Mages from the Multi-Winged Clan, he would definitely alarm the surrounding tribes' Saint Mages, who might personally hunt him down.

Therefore, he had to leave Doran Prairie and return to Great Zhou Kingdom territory before the Saint Mages took action.

Fortunately, he wasn't far from the Great Zhou Kingdom, and with the Golden Winged Tiger's speed, he could return within less than two hours.

In fact, in just about one and a half hours, Zhou Chun had successfully returned within the borders of the Great Zhou Kingdom.

Considering the possible deployment of Saint Mages, Zhou Chun realized that just the border of Great Zhou might not be safe. Thus, he switched from the Golden Winged Tiger to let the Golden Armor Turtle Bearer Stone carry him via Earth Escape towards the depths of Great Zhou, to avoid sudden attacks from Azure Sky Nine Heavens while flying.

Travelling underground like a groundhog for several thousand miles, Zhou Chun wasn't in a hurry to reach the surface. He opted to open a space underground to meditate and rest, and to count the loot from his battles.

This time, he slayed three Great Mages from the Multi-Winged Clan. Apart from the remains of the Great Mage torn apart by the Thunder Sword Dragon, he kept the storage Magic Artifacts of the other two Great Mages intact.

After spending some effort to open those storage Magic Artifacts, Zhou Chun found abundant rewards.

Especially the storage Magic Artifact of Mage Ban Gelu, which contained many excellent items.

As the strongest figure in the "Spirit Wind Tribe," the best resources of the entire tribe were concentrated in his possession.

Whether due to confidence or a habit of keeping prized items with him, Mage Ban Gelu's storage Magic Artifact contained a large quantity of items.

There were as many as nine Spirit Crystals, marking Zhou Chun's most successful acquisition of Spirit Crystals yet!

Moreover, there were three preserved thousand-year-old Treasure Medicines, seventeen various thousand-year Spiritual Medicines, seven materials from Fourth Order Magical Beasts, six Spirit Materials and Magical Artifacts, and four third-order Demon Cores.

Additionally, there were many Magic Artifacts and Elixirs used by Multi-Winged Clan mages, and a large number of their cultivation Classics.

Miscellaneous items of various types were also plentiful.

However, what captivated Zhou Chun most wasn't the purple-black spear, nor the wood bow Magic Artifact akin to High-Grade Magical Treasure possessed by Mage Ban Gelu, nor the azure flying boat Magic Artifact, but rather an azure Flying Eagle statue.

This azure Flying Eagle statue was about the size of a palm. The material of the statue was very special, made from a kind of stone unfamiliar to Zhou Chun, engraved with countless tiny black runes like sesame seeds.

Though injecting mana into the azure Flying Eagle statue yielded no feedback, Zhou Chun knew it should be the Multi-Winged Clan's "Vengeful Blood Eagle" avatar.

Zhou Chun had dedicated considerable effort to inquire and investigate the Multi-Winged Clan's "Vengeful Blood Eagle."

According to what he learned, this "Vengeful Blood Eagle" seemed to be related to the rumored Upper Realm, supposedly a manifestation of a powerful Upper Realm entity.

The Multi-Winged Clan apparently had some connection with that powerful entity, thus able to invoke its power through special ceremonies, leading to its descent into a statue as the "Vengeful Blood Eagle."

Zhou Chun didn't particularly believe in this rumor before, considering it possibly the Multi-Winged Clan boasting, embellishing their own story.
