Chapter 6 Seizing the Treasure
Chapter 6 Seizing the Treasure
Seeing the red and black sword light coming, Dong Wanggong was not afraid at all; on the contrary, his fighting spirit soared.
He was born from the pure Yang energy of nature, and was born with the power of the strongest Yang in the world. He was most skilled at direct attacks.
"Thump—!"
With a thought, the Jingyang Bell, which had been blasted away, emitted a deafening roar and instantly stabilized itself. With its mouth facing down, it unleashed thousands of rays of mysterious light like a golden waterfall, firmly protecting him within.
Meanwhile, the resounding tolling of the bells did not cease.
Instead, it transformed into mysterious Dao patterns invisible to the naked eye, piercing through the void and rushing straight towards Kunpeng's Purple Mansion Primordial Spirit!
This sound does not harm the physical body, but targets the primordial spirit. Even if one is a Great Luo Golden Immortal, without a supreme treasure to protect him, he will be caught off guard and his primordial spirit will be shaken out of his body, leaving him at the mercy of others.
However, Kunpeng didn't even lift an eyelid in the face of such a vicious supernatural power.
The twelve-petaled karmic fire lotus beneath his feet trembled slightly, and boundless karmic fire soared into the sky, transforming into a crimson light curtain that protected him completely.
The soul-suppressing divine sound, powerful enough to shatter mountains and rivers, vanished without a trace the moment it touched the karmic fire barrier, like a clay ox entering the sea, without even causing a ripple.
"What?!"
Upon seeing this, the Eastern King was horrified.
His supernatural powers were so easily neutralized by the other party?
Before he could recover from his shock, the two swords, Yuan Tu and A Bi, had already struck!
"Clang! Clang!"
The two swords slashed fiercely at the mysterious light hanging from the Jingyang Bell, producing two ear-piercing metallic clangs.
The violent, killing sword energy clashed violently with the extremely strong and yang protective light, and the resulting shockwaves evaporated all the seawater within a radius of hundreds of millions of miles!
Countless aquatic creatures that did not have time to escape were instantly reduced to ashes in the aftershocks, without even being able to utter a scream.
"Such a powerful aura of killing intent!"
The Eastern King's body trembled violently, feeling the force from the Yuan Tu and A Bi swords growing heavier and more cunning with each strike.
Only then did he truly realize that the mysterious Taoist priest before him possessed methods and supernatural powers far surpassing his own!
Kunpeng stood on a red lotus, undefeated, with a cold expression.
He possesses the five great laws of wind, water, devouring, blood, and slaughter. When it comes to his understanding of the way of slaughter, in the primordial world, apart from the Demon Ancestor Rahu, probably no one can surpass him.
With a single hand gesture, the Yuan Tu and A Bi swords transformed into two blood-red and black dragons, one devouring its prey, and began to frantically attack Dong Wang Gong.
Wherever the sword light passed, it either stirred up illusions of a sea of blood or stirred up the evil energy of the Nine Netherworlds. All sorts of negative emotions and vicious laws continuously eroded the protective mystical light of the Jingyang Bell.
At the same time, on the twelfth-grade karmic fire lotus, wisps of seemingly weak karmic fire burned towards the Eastern King Duke's primordial spirit through the gaps in the collision of supernatural powers.
The Eastern King Duke immediately became flustered.
Although he possessed two top-grade spiritual treasures, the Pure Yang Sword was primarily for offense, and he was currently being suppressed by the two swords, leaving him with no free hands.
Although Jingyang Zhong's defense was unparalleled, he still had to devote most of his attention to resisting the elusive karmic fire.
For a time, this future leader of male immortals was completely suppressed by Kunpeng and had no power to fight back!
"Now is the time!"
Just as Dongwanggong was distracted in resisting a wisp of karmic fire, Kunpeng's eyes flashed with a sharp light!
With a swift movement, he unleashed an unparalleled speed that surpassed all others in the primordial world.
In the blink of an eye, he traversed the distance of space and appeared right in front of the Eastern King!
"Oh no!" Dong Wanggong exclaimed in horror.
He never expected that the other party could be so fast!
Before he could react, Kunpeng's right arm suddenly expanded, and with a flash of mysterious light, it transformed into a ferocious giant claw covered with bluish-black scales.
It was the sharp claws of the great roc!
Its surface gleamed with a chilling light and was covered with dense Dao patterns, as if it could easily tear the sky apart!
"This treasure is truly wasted in your hands; it would be better to give it to me!"
Kunpeng sneered, and its huge claws ignored the protective light of Jingyang Bell and directly grabbed the ancient bell itself!
"Open it for me!"
With a furious roar, a profound and incomparably deep law of devouring suddenly erupted from its sharp claws!
"Buzz—"
Jingyang Zhong let out a mournful cry. The divine soul imprint left on it by Dong Wanggong was forcibly erased by the Devouring Law, with more than half of it being wiped away!
"puff!"
As if struck by a severe blow, Dong Wanggong spat out a mouthful of blood, his primordial spirit trembled violently, and his face was filled with disbelief and terror.
"You...you dare to steal my companion spirit treasure!"
Kunpeng completely ignored his roar, and with a sudden burst of force from his five fingers, forcibly snatched the Jingyang Bell, which had lost most of its connection with the Eastern King Duke, from above his head!
Having lost his natal treasure, Dongwanggong was terrified and lost all will to fight. He turned around and was about to transform into a golden rainbow and escape.
However, he was fast, but Kunpeng's sword was even faster!
"Trying to leave? Too late!"
A jet-black sword light suddenly flashed by, incredibly fast, as if it had transcended time and space.
It was the Avici Sword, which specifically targets the primordial spirit and is unparalleled in its killing power!
"ah--!"
A heart-wrenching scream echoed throughout the East China Sea.
The right arm of the Eastern King was severed cleanly at the root by this sword!
Golden divine blood sprayed across the sky, each drop containing terrifying pure yang power, scalding the seawater below with a sizzling sound.
Having lost an arm and his most precious treasure, the Eastern King Duke no longer cared about the majesty of a primordial deity.
A resolute madness flashed in his eyes, and he slapped his chest, spitting out another mouthful of his vital essence.
"Blood Escape Technique!"
The essence blood burst into flames in the air, enveloping his shattered primordial spirit, and violently shattered the law-based suppression of the Karmic Fire Red Lotus.
In the end, it transformed into a streak of blood-red light, fleeing desperately towards the chaotic depths at the edge of the East Sea.
Seeing this, Kunpeng did not pursue.
Don't pursue a desperate enemy. After all, this Dongwanggong is the future head of the male immortals personally appointed by the Dao Ancestor, and his fortune has not yet run out.
If we push him too hard and he self-destructs his primordial spirit, that would be counterproductive.
He reached out and grabbed the severed arm, then activated the Devouring Law, instantly refining it into a ball of the purest primordial energy, which he then swallowed.
Instantly, a warm current flowed through his limbs and bones, restoring his depleted magical power to full strength and subtly improving his cultivation.
After doing all this, Kunpeng opened his palm and looked at his palm.
The once mighty Jingyang Bell had shrunk to the size of a palm.
It lay quietly in his palm, the remaining mark of the Eastern King Duke on it being rapidly worn away by the Devouring Law within his body.
"What a wonderful treasure, truly a wonderful treasure."
Kunpeng nodded in satisfaction and put the bell into his sleeve.
Meanwhile, inside the Crystal Palace, Ao Guang and a group of dragon elders were already stunned by this earth-shattering battle.
They watched helplessly as the arrogant Dongwanggong, who had driven them to the brink of despair, was utterly defeated by this mysterious Taoist priest in a green robe.
He was even stripped of his companion spirit treasure, had one arm severed, and fled in a sorry state.
What terrifying power this is!
Ao Guang was not stupid. He knew very well that the strength of the Taoist in front of him was no weaker than that of the Eastern King Duke!
If this person also harbors ill intentions towards the Myriad Dragon Seal, then the current dragon race is utterly powerless to resist.
Rather than waiting to die, it's better to take the initiative to show goodwill!
Thinking of this, Ao Guang dared not be negligent in the slightest and immediately withdrew the clan's protective formation.
Then, leading a group of dragon elders and aquatic leaders who had survived the calamity, he flew out of the Crystal Palace and came before Kunpeng, where they all bowed down in worship.
"Ao Guang, the Dragon Clan of the East Sea, leads his entire clan in gratitude to our predecessor for saving our lives!"
Ao Guang's voice was filled with awe.
"If it weren't for your righteous intervention, my East Sea Dragon Palace would have been annihilated today!"
"We have yet to learn your esteemed name, but our entire dragon clan will forever remember you and honor you for generations to come!"
His words were extremely clever.
Although they knew that Kunpeng's previous actions were mostly not for the Dragon Clan, but rather for his cultivation of the Great Dao of Devouring, and his desire to devour the extraordinary Eastern King Duke to strengthen his own origin.
But the other side did objectively relieve the siege of the Dragon Palace.
Moreover, they seized the magical treasure of the Eastern King Duke and cut off one of his arms.
This can be considered as saving face for the dragon race and giving them a way out.
Kunpeng's gaze swept calmly over Ao Guang, and he slowly spoke:
"This humble Taoist is Beiming, Kunpeng."
"So it was the Kunpeng Ancestor!"
Ao Guang was startled. He took a deep breath and bowed respectfully once more, his posture extremely humble.
"Our ancestor possesses unparalleled divine power. Today, for the sake of my dragon clan, he is willing to forge a karmic bond with that Eastern King Duke."
Ao Guang said sincerely,
"My dragon clan has no way to repay you. Although I know that our ancestor is very wealthy, he may not even care about the meager wealth of my dragon clan."
However, within the Dragon Palace's treasure vault, there are still some ancient and rare treasures.
"As long as our ancestor does not demand our clan's most treasured artifact, the treasure vault of the East Sea Dragon Palace will be open to him."
Among them are treasures accumulated over hundreds of millions of years, which the ancestor can choose from to repay today's kindness!
