1566 Zi Yue Changkong’s Wrath, The Meeting of The Three Great Prodigies
“There’s a massive fish in the Arctic Ocean named Kun. Its size can reach a few thousand kilometers, and it can transform into a bird named Peng. Its bird form’s back can reach a few thousand kilometers as well. The legendary beast is known as Kun Peng.”
Hua Xi looked at Xue Kunpeng and said, “Or should I call you, Kun Peng’s subspecies, Xue Kunpeng?”
Xue Kunpeng chuckled. “Nice insights, Wahuang’s successor.”
“You have witnessed Chu Kuangren’s strength as well. What are your thoughts?” Hua Xi asked Xue Kunpeng.
“He’s indeed powerful, but there is definitely a way to rival him.”
Xue Kunpeng seemed to have absolute confidence in himself. He looked at Hua Xi and said, “If you team up with me, we might have a way to rival him.”
A strange look flashed in Hua Xi’s beautiful eyes, and she said, “Unless it’s absolutely necessary, I wouldn’t want to fight him.”
“Xuanyuan’s successor almost died in his hands. As a Prodigy of the Human Emperor Sect, don’t you feel insulted?”
“That’s the battle between those with the fate of the Human Emperor. No one can be blamed for it,” Hua Xi said.
Chu Kuangren was undoubtedly powerful, and although Hua Xi was confident, she wished not to face Chu Kuangren unless she was forced to.
She knew Chu Kuangren had many tricks under his sleeve. No one could guarantee that what Chu Kuangren had displayed up until this point was his full strength.
“Are you confident enough to fight Chu Kuangren?” Long Xuan asked Xue Kunpeng out of curiosity.
Xue Kunpeng nodded. “I do. He killed the Hellish Bird from the Subspecies Restricted Area, and for that, I cannot simply let it go. Besides…”
He paused and looked at Long Xuen. “Are you cultivating the Evil Dragon Emperor Heart Scripture?”
“What if I am?”
Long Xuan frowned. The Evil Dragon Emperor Heart Scripture was the forbidden scripture hidden deep inside the Dragon Palace. It had never been taught or leaked to an outsider, and only a handful of people heard of it. Hence, he was surprised that Xue Kungpeng had heard of it.
“I see. The Evil Dragon Emperor Heart Scripture is indeed unpredictable. Unfortunately, you can’t display its full potential.”
“Hmph. You sound like you know this cultivation technique very well.”
“Of course.”
Xue Kunpeng stood with his hand behind his back. “That’s because the Evil Dragon Emperor Heart Scripture originates from the Subspecies Restricted Area!”
Upon learning the truth, Long Xuan’s pupils widened in shock. “What?!”
“I said, the Evil Dragon Emperor Heart Scripture is from the Subspecies Restricted Area.”
He then tossed a red token to Long Xuan. “If you want to defeat Chu Kuangren, go to the Subspecies Restricted Area. You will find your answers there.”
Xue Kunpeng then disappeared in the form of a light stream.
Long Xuan held the token in his hand and pondered. The expression on his face shifted multiple times as thoughts flashed through his mind.
The Restricted Areas were one of the most dangerous places in the universe and barely anyone had made it back from the cursed place.
“I am the Black Dragon, a subspecies of the Dragon Tribe. Perhaps I can make it into the Subspecies Restricted Area,” he thought as he gripped the token tightly.
“Goodbye.”
Long Xuan parted ways with Xuanyuan’s successor and Wahuang’s successor, leaving them hovering in the air.
Xuanyuan’s successor then said, “Fuxi’s Guqin has appeared. Does he not have any plans to get his hands on it?”
The ‘he’ that he was referring to was another Human Emperor’s successor from the Human Emperor Sect, who was also the most unpredictable one amongst them.
“He said a massive change would befall the world soon, and it would be more important than the Battle of the Heavenly Champions. Until then, he doesn’t want to show himself to the public.”
“A massive change? Hmph. He’s always good at Deduction Dao, but it’s too bad he never reveals the details to us. Selfish bastard.”
Hua Xi did not argue either because she disliked that man as well.
“Let’s go. The Chaos Fragment is huge. Maybe we can find more Opportunities of Fortune,” Hua Xi said.
“Argh!”
Meanwhile, in a certain corner of the Chaos Fragment, a violet-eyed young man held the back of his head in pain as he screamed.
“My brother! My brother’s presence is gone! Who killed my brother?!”
The violet-eyed young man shouted into the sky as his Immortal’s Core energy erupted and shook the place.
Several other cultivators gathered upon him, and when they heard what he screamed, they looked at each other in shock.
“Ziyue Ming is dead?”
“Who killed the Young Master’s brother? That person must have a death wish!”
“Ziyue Ming was not weak, so the person who killed him must be a famed cultivator. Who could’ve done it?”
After Ziyue Changkong vented out his anger, he gradually regained his calm.
He channeled his secret technique, and mystical Daoist patterns started to appear around him, forming a mystic mirror in front of him.
“That’s the Soul Recall Technique!”
“I heard the Young Master and Ziyue Ming were twins, so their souls are somehow connected to each other. It seems he’s using this method to recall Ziyue Ming’s final moments.”
Images flashed in the mirror and finally stopped on a man in white surrounded by Immortal Sparks.
“It’s him!” someone cried out loud.
“He killed Ziyue Ming?! Who is he?” Ziyue Changkong said coldly into the mirror.
One of the cultivators who recognized the man in white said with a grim look on his face, “It’s Chu Kuangren!”
“Chu Kuangren?”
Ziyue Changrong was aware of the name as well. “So he’s the one who has recently made a name for himself in the Immortal World, huh? Chu Kuangren, you killed my brother! For that, I will make you pay!”
“Young Master, Chu Kuangren’s strength shouldn’t be underestimated. Please do not act rashly.”
“That’s right. He single-handedly shook the Immortal World, so he must have immeasurable strength. The two great Immortal Halls tried to target him multiple times, but I heard all the attempts failed.”
The others tried to persuade Ziyue Changkong to calm down.
It was then that a blood-colored stream of light flew in, followed by a voice saying, “What’s wrong? Your brother is dead, but you are too cowardly to avenge him?”
It was Xue Kunpeng.
He was searching for allies against Chu Kuangren, and since he heard Ziyue Changkong’s shout, he came to have a look.
“Xue Kunpenag, are you trying to provoke me?” Ziyue Changkong said coldly.
As a fellow Peerless Prodigy from the Restricted Area, he had heard of Xue Kunpeng before.
“Do I need to?” Xue Kunpeng teased.
“Hmph. You have beef with Chu Kuangren.”
“I do.”
“Guys, if you’re going up against Chu Kuangren, I have a few candidates that I would like to recommend.”
That was when another voice sounded.
A man in golden robes approached them.
He bore a dignified and prestigious demeanor like a superior emperor that struck awe in people’s hearts.
“You’re… the Eastern Sovereign Divine Daoist!”
Xue Kunpeng did his homework on the sky-prides and Prodigies of the Immortal World, which obviously included Eastern Sovereign Divine Daoist.
Eastern Sovereign Divine Daoist was the strongest Prodigy from the Eastern Sovereign Immortal Hall, the one who ruled over all nine Houses.
“Interesting. And your suggested candidates?”
“Long Xuan from Dragon Palace, Xuanyuan’s successor, Shi Tianxuan of the Demon Kingdom, and the Golden Crow Pseudo-Forefather.”
Xue Kunpeng scoffed when he heard the Eastern Sovereign Divine Daoist. “It seems like you’re lagging behind on updates. Long Xuan and Xuanyuan’s successor were just defeated, and they won’t be joining any battles soon. As for Shi Tianxuan, he’s dead. Golden Crow Pseudo-Forefather, however, might be a great assistance.”
