Chapter 163: Chapter 141: Ye Chen Fights the Great Demon
```
The enorous Fire Sparrow burst into the sky, its piercing shrieks shaking all directions!
Countless demon beasts and Great Demons, even the high-ranking Great Demons at the very top, were driven into a frenzy by the cry of the Fire Sparrow, howling and bellowing in the skies outside the ninety-nine Floating Peaks!
And the enormous Fire Sparrow, as it soared into the heavens, its feathers suddenly changed from flaming red to a brilliant blue flame!
This shocking transformation had completely dumbfounded the disciples in the sect who were watching the final practical assessment through the giant light screen on the main square!
The young examinees riding on flying demon beasts in the void of Sky Extreme Cliff were all gaping with their mouths wide open!
Even at the very bottom of the ninety-nine Floating Peaks, even though they were very far from the eighty-eighth Floating Peak, the screech of the enormous Fire Sparrow made their True Qi roil and frightened their flying demon beasts into howling and roaring as well.
They almost fell off their flying demon beasts!
The simultaneous exclamations from Fairy Jia Luo and Daoist Wine Sword had made their complexions suddenly change.
They knew that if two Rotating Pill Realm experts were exclaiming in shock, Ye Chen must have faced a great crisis!
"Dark Nether Sparrow, Master, what is a Dark Nether Sparrow?"
At that moment, Jiang Yao's face tensed with concern, and her long hair that hung down to her waist even began to flutter without her control.
Her eyes turned to Fairy Jia Luo, and she quickly spoke out, worried for Ye Chen's safety!
The enormous Fire Sparrow that took to the sky frightened countless Great Demons into frantic flight—a phenomenon that made Jiang Yao sense something wrong. The simultaneous exclamations from her master, Fairy Jia Luo, and Daoist Wine Sword, made Jiang Yao's heart sink even more drastically.
If Ye Chen truly faced danger, even if she wasn't allowed to intervene in the practical assessment, even if Rotating Pill Realm experts tried to stop her, Jiang Yao would rush to his aid, disregarding everything to help Ye Chen fight that Sparrow!
She simply couldn't bear to watch Ye Chen facing danger right before her eyes!
Watching her beloved disciple's delicate little face etched with worry, ready to fly up into the sky at any moment, Fairy Jia Luo finally spoke, "Yao'er, there are countless hidden bloodlines in the world. You yourself possess the Bloodline Secret Skills; you should know that."
Hearing of hidden bloodlines, Jiang Yao's heart raced with panic.
She was well aware of the power of hidden bloodlines; she had a strange Ice Phoenix bloodline in her own body!
Just after she had completed the first level of this Ice Phoenix Bloodline Secret Skills, she was able to suppress early-stage Spiritual Sea experts with her True Qi Realm strength. Once she stepped into the Spiritual Sea, she could even dominate mid-stage Spiritual Sea experts.
In the over four months since she had parted with Ye Chen, she had been in seclusion, finally completing the second level of the painfully understood Ice Phoenix Bloodline Secret Skills after more than three years.
This completion of training instantly boosted her strength by dozens of times, with gains even greater than when she first completed the first level of Bloodline Secret Skills, endowing her with the power to dominate late-stage Spiritual Sea experts.
Even after completing the second level of Bloodline Secret Skills, Jiang Yao knew that there was a third and fourth level to her Bloodline Secret Skills!
The cultivation of the Bloodline Secret Skills had tremendously increased Jiang Yao's strength, making her deeply aware of the fearsome nature of these skills.
Now hearing that this Dark Nether Sparrow also had a hidden bloodline, of course Jiang Yao became deeply concerned, extremely worried about Ye Chen who was facing the Dark Nether Sparrow in battle!
Fairy Jia Luo continued, "The Dark Nether Sparrow is also a kind of Sparrow that possesses a hidden bloodline. Though its bloodline is not considered very powerful compared to your Bloodline Secret Skills, it is extremely formidable for a Great Demon."
"The Dark Nether Sparrow undergoes three bloodline awakenings in its life. The first, the initial awakening, turns all its feathers to a fiery red and makes it virtually invincible among middle-ranking Great Demons. The second, the intermediate awakening, turns its feathers a deep blue, and its strength soars to an invincible level among high-ranking Great Demons!
The final awakening, the advanced awakening, will transform it into the 'Dark Nether Sparrow King,' giving it strength comparable to an early-stage Rotating Pill Realm expert—the power level of a Demon King!"
"I never expected that such a sparrow would come to our sect's Sky Extreme Cliff, and that it would encounter Ye Chen during this practical assessment!"
"Earlier on, when the Dark Nether Sparrow was still red, I felt something amiss. Little did I know, it truly completed its intermediate bloodline awakening!"
Boom!
The words of Fairy Jia Luo caused Jiang Yao's mind to resound with an explosion.
An intermediate bloodline awakening Dark Nether Sparrow would see its strength skyrocket to an invincible level among high-ranking Great Demons.
This directly indicated that Ye Chen was up against the most formidable being among high-ranking Great Demons!
High-ranking Great Demons are equivalent to late-stage Spiritual Sea experts, and Ye Chen was only at the eleventh level of True Qi. No matter how formidable he was, facing this mutated Dark Nether Sparrow, he was in extreme danger and his life hung by a thread!
How could Jiang Yao let Ye Chen face such danger alone!
Boom!
Instantly, an ice-blue Spiritual Pattern appeared on Jiang Yao's forehead, and her waist-length hair began to grow wildly, reaching several meters in length and fluttering frantically.
"Master, I can't allow Ye Chen to face danger alone!"
"Don't stop me!"
As Jiang Yao spoke, she flew upwards.
Seeing Jiang Yao's actions, everyone looked at her in astonishment.
Then, Fairy Jia Luo moved and intercepted Jiang Yao, "Yao'er, the appearance of this 'Dark Nether Sparrow' is an accident in this practical assessment. I will not stand by and let Ye Chen be killed by the Dark Nether Sparrow."
"But now is not the time for us to act. Look, Ye Chen is not fleeing, which means he has the strength to fight against the Dark Nether Sparrow!"
"If he truly faces danger, there's no need for you to act—I will save him myself and allow him to continue with the capture tests of other Great Demons!"
In the calm words of Fairy Jia Luo, there was an absolute confidence.
```
```
Don't mention this Dark Nether Sparrow having completed its mid-stage bloodline awakening, even if it had completed its late-stage bloodline awakening and transformed into the Dark Nether Sparrow King, it still wouldn't be a match for Fairy Jia Luo.
"Jiang Yao, you little girl, don't worry about that kid Ye Chen."
"Even if Jia Luo doesn't take action, I will!"
"I don't care about the rules of your Tian Xuan Sect!"
At this moment, the void shimmered, and Daoist Wine Sword suddenly appeared beside Jiang Yao.
Daoist Wine Sword, a late-stage Rotating Pill Realm powerhouse, was the strongest person present!
The fact that he spoke out directly like this clearly showed how highly he valued Ye Chen.
After finishing his speech, Daoist Wine Sword directly turned his gaze to the sky.
"I've always noticed that the kid Ye Chen is still holding back his strength, and I really want to see what he looks like when pushed to his strongest state."
The words of Fairy Jia Luo and Daoist Wine Sword eased Jiang Yao's worried heart slightly.
But the Spiritual Patterns flickering on her forehead and her hair, which was wildly growing longer behind her, did not dissipate at all; she remained ready to leap into action to assist Ye Chen at any moment!
"Ye Chen, you must not overexert yourself; with just the eleventh layer of True Qi, it's already impressive that you can deal with middle-rank Great Demons!"
"You must avoid any mishaps, and if an accident truly is about to occur, even if the master and Elder Wine Sword don't take action, I will step in!"
Jiang Yao's eyes, filled with worry, were fixed on Ye Chen in the sky.
Below, the movements of Jiang Yao, Fairy Jia Luo, and Daoist Wine Sword went unnoticed by Ye Chen.
All his focus was on the colossal Fire Sparrow surging upwards.
When Ye Chen saw that the Fire Sparrow's fiery red feathers all turned into deep blue flame feathers, and when he sensed the absolutely high-rank Great Demon level terrifying aura emanating from the Fire Sparrow, his expression grew solemn.
He knew that this capture of a Great Demon had brought him a true challenge!
This mystical Fire Sparrow was extraordinary indeed, showing such a rare transformation!
But Ye Chen wasn't scared into fleeing; even with the Fire Sparrow's transformation to the strength of a high-rank Great Demon, he still had the ability to cope!
To subdue this colossal Fire Sparrow!
The more extraordinary it was, the more he had to find a way to subdue it, to capture it as his mount!
A fierce will to fight was lit in Ye Chen's eyes.
Instead of retreating, his eleven Gang Yuan True Qi swirls in his body all vibrated simultaneously, and he surged towards the sky, where the transforming colossal Fire Sparrow, with vast and surging Gang Yuan True Qi flames, was flying.
As Ye Chen charged, the Fire Sparrow in the sky had completed its transformation, its eyes suddenly bursting out with astonishing brilliance.
With a clear call, the Fire Sparrow no longer soared upwards but turned around, setting its gaze on Ye Chen.
When it saw Ye Chen charging towards it, the colossal Fire Sparrow shot out blue flames from every feather on its body, which glowed like blue fire. In an instant, a raging blue flame sea unfurled around the Fire Sparrow's entire body.
The colossal Fire Sparrow, surrounded by the roaring blue flame sea, dived down from the sky, aiming a ferocious strike toward Ye Chen, who was surging up to meet it.
In the sky, the enormous Fire Sparrow's blue flame sea collided with Ye Chen, accompanied by his outbursting silver Gang Yuan True Qi.
Blue flames and silver True Qi instantly enveloped the entire sky!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Thunderous True Qi explosion noises echoed through all ninety-nine peaks of Sky Extreme Cliff, once again causing countless Demon Beasts lurking at a distance to scatter in frantic flight.
In the midst of this thunderous collision, Ye Chen's figure was slammed backwards hundreds of feet, even spitting out a mouthful of blood in the sky.
"Ye Chen!"
Jiang Yao cried out in panic from below; just as she was about to fly upwards, she suddenly caught sight of Ye Chen, who was blown back, abruptly stopping in mid-air, his eyes half-closed, fingers forming a strange spell.
Then, Jiang Yao, Fairy Jia Luo, Daoist Wine Sword, and countless other spectators witnessed a shocking transformation occurring with Ye Chen.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
In an instant, Ye Chen, suspended in the air, suddenly emitted endless golden light from his body.
Amidst this boundless golden light, a hundred-meter-tall Golden Monkey Phantom suddenly appeared around Ye Chen.
After it appeared, the Golden Monkey Phantom roared towards the sky, a roar that was by no means weaker than the Fire Sparrow's previous sharp cries!
Amidst the Golden Monkey Phantom's skyward roar, Ye Chen's momentum continued to climb until silver Gang Yuan True Qi swirled around him, intertwined with strands of mystical golden light.
"Am I finally going to use the third transformation of my newly comprehended Nine Transformation Fighting Body?"
Ye Chen, hovering in the void, suddenly opened his eyes wide and calmly spoke, gazing at the colossal Fire Sparrow not far away.
