Chapter 1832: Evil Star Versus Fiery Feathers
Translated by XephiZ

Evil Star started moving around unusually at a crazed pace, leaving afterimages behind as it did so.
The afterimages of the Bird Emperor began to stack on top of one another gradually. From Mo Fan’s view, it felt like a dozen of the creatures had stacked up around him when there was only one creature. The afterimages were merely a result of its unbelievable speed.
Evil Star began to move horizontally after it was done moving vertically, producing the same afterimages. It left over a few hundred afterimages in the night sky in a brief moment. It felt like there was an army of Bird Emperors, all staring at the flame-shrouded Mo Fan with a cold look in their eyes.
Mo Fan was slightly dazzled. He suddenly heard a cry, which meant there was only one Evil Star, while the rest were mere illusions.
The illusionary Bird Emperors began diving at Mo Fan in an orderly manner. It felt like a fleet of fighting jets was going to bombard the spot he was standing on!
Mo Fan thought the afterimages would not pose any threat to him. The Manta Ray Bird Emperor was simply trying to trick him. However, he realized how deadly each illusion actually was when he saw the illusions slicing through the trees they came into contact with!
It was meaningless to dodge the attack considering its insane area, nor was Mo Fan able to cast Blink in time. He had no choice but to clench his teeth and confront the illusions of the Bird Emperor with force.
“Fiery Feather Swords!”
Rings of flames erupted around Mo Fan. The flames were spreading like feathers and proceeded to transform into burning swords. They formed a small circle around Mo Fan at first, but each time the flames surged, more burning swords were added to the ranks!
Mo Fan pointed into the sky, aiming the burning swords in the direction from which the illusions of the Bird Emperor were approaching. The number of the burning swords clearly outmatched the number of the illusions, but each illusion contained a greater force than the swords. The burning swords collided with the illusions, like a bunch of burning meteorites crashing into an icy meteor shower. The impact of the spectacular collision shook the entire island.
The light produced by the destruction lit up the dark island, illuminating the coconut trees scattered all over it, the valleys covered entirely in moss, and the Manta Ray Evil Birds that were flying back to regroup with the main army!
The battle had obviously startled the Manta Ray Evil Birds out searching for invaders. They immediately flew toward the island at their highest speed. It was terrifying watching their dense figures and icy sapphire eyes approaching in such overwhelming numbers.

“Mo Fan, I would pick up the pace a little if I were you! Otherwise, what I’m going to say will be my last words!” Zhao Manyan shouted at him.
“Why do I feel like you said the same thing in Egypt. Your last words are as stinky and long as your usual nonsense!” Mu Bai mocked him.
“I’m the kind of person with a strong awareness of potential threats to my life, so I’ve been living my days as if the apocalypse was going to happen at any second. Do you have a problem with that?” Zhao Manyan snarled.
“You’re just scared of dying,” Mu Bai scoffed.
“That’s how preciously I’m f**king treating my life. I still have so much time left and so many beauties to taste!” Zhao Manyan said righteously.

Mo Fan glanced down the mountain and saw the Manta Ray Evil Birds everywhere. Their speed was unbelievable. They were able to cover a few kilometers in the blink of an eye. It felt like they had the whole place surrounded.
The numbers of the Manta Ray Evil Birds were even greater than they had thought. It felt like the island was running out of space for them after every Manta Ray Evil Bird on the island had woken up. Some among them had menacing auras and dark red skin like evil crimson-red moons. They indeed looked like a demon species that had descended upon the mundane world from an evil moon!
Those creatures were obviously the Greater Featherless Birds that Chen Shuo had mentioned. They had inherited the appearance of the Bird Emperor and its natural aggressive temperament. Their superior wings and tails would put anyone looking at them under great pressure, far exceeding the pressure from the Manta Ray Evil Birds.
“I’ll leave them in your hands. Just buy me a little more time,” Mo Fan told the others.
Mo Fan ignored the Manta Ray Evil Birds that were approaching from every direction. He was fully focused on the Bird Emperor.
Evil Star was staring at Mo Fan. It too was grim and focused, as if it had rarely bumped into such a powerful human.
A shadow suddenly descended from the sky like an icy hammer, heading straight at Evil Star’s back without any sign. It sliced straight down, like it was going to cut the creature in half.
It was a shadow Mo Fan had Summoned with the Fiendish Night. He had used it to Summon a rebelling shadow of the Bird Emperor to attack it.
The Bird Emperor did not expect such a unique ability, since Mo Fan had not produced any unusual energy beforehand. The Fiendish Shadow landed its blow on the Manta Ray Bird Emperor accurately, leaving a long cut on its back. The cut had torn through its flesh and left some black goo on it.
The Manta Ray Bird Emperor was injured, yet it did not show any sign of panic. It continued calmly observing its surroundings. A strange shadow was now slowly rising below its body. It did not have the shape of the Bird Emperor anymore. It turned into a pair of blades and stabbed at the creature’s belly instead!
The Bird Emperor finally noticed the shadow this time. It immediately spun in the air, exposing its belly under the moonlight while emitting a silver glow to drive the shadow away and resolve the danger.
Mo Fan was not too bothered when the creature saw through his trick. The Dark Material was only good at ambushing its targets when they least expected it. He was satisfied after inflicting the wound on the creature’s back!
