Chapter 254: The Second Origin Story

With the prophecy of the gifted immortal beast of the bird clan, a faction previously overshadowed by their more dominant counterparts began to rise. This faction was led by a respected immortal beast, one who typically remained in the shadows, keeping a low profile despite their considerable power. 

While this leader was thousands of years younger than the two powerhouses that had entered the secret realm, they were still a formidable Star (7) level beast. However, their potential was slightly lower than the peak Star level achieved by the previous contenders.

This particular beast boasted a bloodline bearing distant ties to true dragons—a lineage that had been reduced to mere legend, similar to how the "5 immortal beasts of Dongzhou" were to the people of Dongzhou.
