Chapter 791 The Kunpeng(term)

After bidding farewell to the Mystic Ice True Lord, Eldrin returned to his temporary cave abode.

He found Lyra and the others, his expression grave as he said, "Before coming here, I used the Great Deduction of Yin-Yang and Stars to divine the fortunes, yet the omens revealed no heavenly secrets."

"Today, upon arriving at Mount Tian, I faintly sensed something unusual—as if the mountain were veiled by some mysterious force."

A faint crease formed between Qing Ji’s brows. After a moment of contemplation, she asked, “Are you saying there is a master on the Celestial Mountain, veiling the workings of destiny?”

"Most likely so." Eldrin nodded slightly, his gaze sharpening. "To conceal celestial machinations so thoroughly that even my divinations cannot penetrate them—this undoubtedly bears the hallmark of an Essence Soul Dao Lord's methods."

"And what requires an Eldrin Dao Lord to expend such great effort to conceal must surely be extraordinary."

Upon hearing this, the others furrowed their brows deeply, their hearts filled with concern. It was Lyra (Person Name) who, after a moment of contemplation, spoke first: "No matter what, we must proceed with utmost caution this time."

3 months passed in the blink of an eye. On this day, the demon tribes of the North Ming Sea finally traversed the 100 million li of primordial glaciers and arrived before the Heavenly Mountains.

The human cultivators did not dare delay, swiftly gathering atop the Celestial Mountain. They watched as over a 100 fifth-grade treasure ships soared through the skies, carrying a near-countless horde of demons and monsters converging upon them.

Watching the hundreds of millions of demons and monsters upon that treasure ship, Lila (Person Name) couldn't help but sigh softly, "Alas, for a battle at the Primordial Spirit level, the Roc Demon Saint actually mobilized such a massive army to attack."

Eldrin shook his head, his gaze turning slightly cold as he stated, "Lower-tier demonic races reproduce with alarming speed yet possess woefully underdeveloped intellect. Even if they didn't perish on the battlefield, they would inevitably succumb to endless internal strife."

"For the Roc Demon Saint, launching a beast tide to cull low-level demon beasts was the most cost-effective transaction."

"Success would grant them new territories, while failure would still leave them with no real loss."

The onlookers also nodded in agreement, for this was 1 of the fundamental reasons why conflicts between humans and demons had persisted since time immemorial.

Of course, this wasn't necessarily a bad thing for the human race. If 1 possessed sufficient strength, waiting at leisure for an exhausted enemy could lead to a decisive victory—along with abundant materials such as demon beast resources.

To return to our story, the treasure ship arrived before the Heavenly Mountains and unleashed countless low-level demonic beasts, which then swarmed toward the various spiritual peaks in coordinated assaults.

Eldrin's brow furrowed slightly as he noticed the Snowdrift Palace had already conscripted over a 1000 human cultivators for the resistance. He suppressed his impulse to intervene.

The battle between the 2 sides raged on for several months before the Kunpeng Demon Saint could no longer sit idle.

Several figures strode through the air, each radiating an aura of supreme power capable of shaking the heavens and earth.

The leader, clad in black and gold battle robes, stood with a towering physique akin to a celestial being. A wisp of aura occasionally drifted from him, warping the void itself.

Kunpeng Demon Sage!

Eldrin took a deep breath, his expression turning profoundly solemn.

A mere wisp of aura was enough to distort the void itself—a feat only the Kunpeng Yao Sheng, the foremost demonic sovereign of the Violet Realm, could accomplish in this era.

Indeed, it was so. Palace Mistress Piaoxue stepped into the air, her gaze chilling as she declared, "Kunpeng (Mythical Beast), retreat now and you may still avert calamity."

"Oh."

The Roc-Demon Sage spoke no further, merely reaching out with an empty grasp toward the heavens as if seizing the firmament itself.

A heaven-shaking roar erupted as 2 immortal swords—1 gold, 1 azure—descended from the skies, their sealing edges slashing toward the Palace Master of Drifting Snow.

"Kunpeng Twin Swords."

In an instant, everyone's pupils contracted, revealing looks of terror and dread.

This pair of golden and blue swords were the lifebound divine treasures of the Kunpeng Demonic Sage. The golden sword was named the Golden Roc Slaying Immortal Sword, while the blue 1 was called the Nether Kun Annihilating Divinity Sword.

This pair of immortal swords ranked among the 10 supreme spiritual treasures of the Violet Realm's demonic cultivators, standing equal to legendary blades like the Azure Dragon Sea-Quelling Sword, the Heavenly Demon's Immortal-Slaying Sword (Magic Treasure), and even the Blood Sea Divine Infant Sword.

For 20 1000 years since the Demon Emperor Kunpeng attained the Dao, he had roamed the world unchallenged by relying on this pair of immortal swords. Even a Demigod Ancestor (Cultivation Realm) would not dare confront these supreme treasures directly.

At this moment, facing such a strike, the Palace Master of Drifting Snow dared not be negligent. She immediately summoned a glazed sword radiance and expanded an azure divine furnace, meeting the attack of the Roc Demon Emperor head-on.

That glazed sword radiance was named the Profound Water Divine Crystal Sword, while the deep blue divine furnace was also the Lifebound Spirit Treasure of the Snowdrift Palace Lord. Both had reached the supreme grade of the sixth rank, thus they showed no fear against the various methods of the Roc Demon Emperor.

As the 2 engaged in combat, naturally, the rest of the crowd did not remain idle either.

The Kunpeng clan possessed formidable strength. Needless to say, the Kunpeng Demonic Sage stood as their pinnacle, but beyond him existed 2 other supreme beings—the Great Roc Demonic Ancestors, both having attained the profound cultivation realm of Primordial Spirit, Mid Stage (Cultivation Realm).

The Falling Snow Palace now had only 1 Primordial Spirit, Mid Stage (Cultivation Realm) left, utterly incapable of withstanding these 2 Great Roc Demon Ancestors.

Indeed, 7 100 years ago, the Drifting Snow Palace still possessed an Elder at the Primordial Spirit, Mid Stage (Cultivation Realm). Unfortunately, he fell in battle during the Cataclysm of the Demonic Abyss, leaving the palace subtly outmatched by the Kunpeng demon tribe.

Fortunately, Riverlord Chang (Person Name) arrived to assist, blocking the strongest Great Roc, while Mystical Frost Fairy (Person Name) single-handedly held off another, alleviating most of the pressure.

As Riverlord Chang made his move, the River Sunset Painting blotted out the sky and surged toward a colossal roc, instantly overwhelming the aura of the Great Roc Demon Ancestor.

The remaining few giant Kunpeng demon ancestors, though possessing extraordinary power, were intercepted by the 3 Nascent Soul experts of the Drifting Snow Palace.

Boom—

Yet in that very instant, from the endless void, a Kunpeng of such magnitude it blotted out the heavens descended abruptly, launching a surprise assault against Fairy Lingshuang.

The arrival of this Great Roc Demon Ancestor was utterly unforeseen, catching Fairy Lingshuang completely off guard.

Fortunately, Eldrin (Person Name) sensed the anomaly and decisively summoned the River of Heaven Ren Water Sword, intercepting the Kunpeng in its tracks.

"Sure enough, there is still 1 more."

Maris the Sea Steader (Person Name) summoned the Sea-Quelling Pearl (Magic Treasure), instantly suppressing the raging waves.

Long ago, deep within the North Ming Sea, there had been unusual phenomena of receiving the Heavenly Soul. However, the Kunpeng Demon Saint had veiled the heavenly secrets, so no 1 knew whether he had successfully weathered the heavenly tribulation.

Now, as they beheld the emergence of this Kunpeng, none could help but reveal solemn expressions.

Within the Kunpeng Clan, whether they were the colossal Kun or the immense Peng, despite their extraordinary bloodlines, none of the crowd showed the slightest trace of fear.

Only the Kunpeng could be considered a Mythical Immortal Seed, its bloodline power rivaled solely by supreme beings such as the True Dragon and the Black Tortoise.

The Kunpeng clan already had 1 Kunpeng Demon Saint in their ranks. Now that another pure-blooded Kunpeng had emerged, they would likely become a significant threat in the future.

"Perish!"

The Kunpeng sneered coldly as it saw the Sea-Calming Pearl hurtling toward it.

With a mere flick of his sleeve, he summoned a Black Gold War Halberd, its sweeping strike actually suppressing even the Divine Sea-Calming Pearl.

"Not good."

Eldrin's expression shifted slightly. After Maris the Sea Steader had broken through to the Nascent Soul realm, he had already elevated his Sea God Pearl to mid-grade rank 6. Yet now, he was still falling into a disadvantage—this greatly exceeded their expectations.

Watching his opponent run rampant, Eldrin once again summoned the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss, crisscrossing the air in an attempt to exhaust the enemy’s focus.
