Chapter 1248: Chapter 445: The Yellow Bird [3 updates! Asking for monthly votes]

Li Ping’an had just arrived at the source of the disturbance and saw Guiling and Kong Xuan fighting Kunpeng.

A wall formed by the Five-Colored Divine Light blocked off the massive Phoenix corpse, and the battle was raging outside this wall.

The Five-Colored Divine Light transformed the previously dark bottom of the Undying Volcano into a scene as bright as daylight.

The state of the magical combat between these three masters was interesting; they maintained human forms, but their Dao Bodies were enveloped by three giant beasts.

Kunpeng, whose body was covered in rotting pustules;

A peacock with emerald green feathers;

A big black tortoise with a somewhat round head.

The peacock and the black tortoise joined forces, one leading the attack and the other defending, pushing Kunpeng back continually.

With a loud screech, the Roc Bird joined the fray, using its speed to harass Kunpeng, expanding their advantage further, making Kunpeng’s decaying body increasingly injured.

Li Ping’an did not reveal himself.

He couldn’t participate in this level of magical combat for now and hid with his master, who had become a pendant, at the entrance of the passage, waiting for the victor to be decided.

Li Ping’an was aware that the Calamity Sovereign was likely hiding in the shadows as well.

Kunpeng hated the Human Race’s three sovereigns with whom he had a mortal enmity;

The Calamity Sovereign bore a deep hatred for him, the ‘enemy of the West.’

Thus, as Li Ping’an hid, he awaited patiently, ready with the Yuan Tu Sword, Xuantian Tower, and Soul-Cleaving Banner, prepared to strike back at the Calamity Sovereign.

Always being hit wasn’t his style.

‘I wonder if Uncle Shi Duobao is nearby. If he acts today, this battle would be without any uncertainty.’

‘However, the advantage is already quite significant, and there are four Phoenix Clan warriors that haven’t entered the battle yet, waiting quietly at another passage entrance.’

Li Ping’an thought silently.

He always felt somewhat uneasy, but he couldn’t pinpoint the source of this anxiety, instinctively inching closer to the exit to leave.

According to Ancestral Master Hongjun, the Primordial Phoenix had prepared a backup plan.

Looking at the situation now, Kunpeng might not even get close to the Primordial Phoenix, having no chance to force out the Phoenix’s backup plan.

“Disciple,” Qing Su’s voice transmitted, “the corpse of the Primordial Phoenix certainly contains many treasures, don’t you want them?”

“Well…”

Li Ping’an transmitted to the pendant:

“Master, Kong Xuan and the Roc Bird are here, digging up someone’s mother’s grave in front of them would be too unethical.”

“Oh,” Qing Su responded, “That makes sense.”

“I always feel Kunpeng wouldn’t just boldly enter this place.”

Li Ping’an whispered through the transmission:

“What about his henchmen?

“That group of Innate Gods and Demons, mighty in strength, yet Kunpeng dispersed them, entering the Undying Volcano alone. Kunpeng must have some trick up his sleeve.

“He surely isn’t seeking his own death.”

Qing Su thought carefully: “If there’s a backup plan, perhaps the absence of Spiritual Power here could be counted as one. In magical combat, when one’s mana cannot be replenished, whoever has more mana stored inside would have the advantage. Kong Xuan and the Roc fought for a long time beforehand, and their energy might wane, the combat is fierce now, and if they can’t take Kunpeng down within two hours, it might be up to Lingling to face Kunpeng alone.”

“Master’s reasoning is quite logical!”

“Hmm,” Qing Su responded, “You still have too little magical combat experience.”

Li Ping’an chuckled through the transmission and concealed himself even further.

In the midst of the intense magical combat, Kunpeng suddenly shouted angrily:

“Jie Sect, don’t meddle in matters!”

“Bah!”

Guiling snorted, swinging his longsword continuously, the big black tortoise persistently using its shell to butt against ‘the rotten corpse’ Kunpeng.

“I am a dignified god of the Heavenly Court, sealed by the Heavenly Emperor Himself! Now I’m here to protect the Undying Volcano!”

Kunpeng roared, spewing a mouthful of black flame at Guiling.

The head of the black tortoise’s phantom swelled instantly, spewing a water arrow that shattered the black flame directly.

Li Ping’an couldn’t help but raise his hand to his forehead.

A water-arrow-spouting tortoise, always felt a strong sense of déjà vu!

Of course, the magical combat here is extremely intense, that black flame could kill a Golden Immortal if it touched them, and that water arrow could seriously injure a Great One Golden Immortal if it hit them.

Kong Xuan rushed for an attack, the peacock behind him radiating bands of Five-Colored Divine Light.

The decaying Kunpeng, as if struck, trembled constantly, its rotting wounds multiplying rapidly.

The Roc swooped down, Kunpeng countered with a bite;

Several figures exchanged blows from a distance, the sword light unleashed by the Immortal Slaying Sword was mightier than the Five-Colored Divine Light in this place.

Li Ping’an saw that Kunpeng was thoroughly suppressed, momentarily relaxing and began observing the supposed bottom of the Undying Volcano.

The Primordial Phoenix’s eternal suppression of the Undying Volcano is an ancient tale, saying the Phoenix Clan, to compensate for breaking the ancient earth, the Primordial Phoenix used its heavily-injured body to suppress the erupting Undying Volcano.

But judging from the current situation, it seemed the Primordial Phoenix wasn’t suppressing anything.

The ground was covered with a layer of ash, with no trace of Spiritual Power anywhere, the corpse of the Primordial Phoenix had almost become a stone statue.

There were indeed living creatures here.

Around the Primordial Phoenix’s corpse were more than ten dragon heads, each hundreds of feet long, their flesh uncorrupted, spawning numerous monstrous serpents from within.

Naturally, these monstrous serpents were now like ash on this land, and would disintegrate into dust if affected by the magical combat here.

This was all Li Ping’an could see.

The Undying Volcano is a place where the three thousand Great Daos of the Primordial World converge, the changes here affecting the stability of the Vast Wilderness Heaven and Earth.

Li Ping’an thought briefly, dividing his mind from observing the battle to start… enlightenment and meditation.

Not long after, Li Ping’an’s Primordial Spirit let out a startled cry, as if seeing a new world overflowing with divine light.
