Chapter 1251: Chapter 446: Competing for the Phoenix!

Li Ping’an also didn’t expect that the soul of the Kunpeng would be so formidable.

The Primordial Phoenix’s palm strike couldn’t subdue him, and the incoming Immortal Sword was blocked by a few tentacles. Although most of those tentacles were sliced off by the sword as if cutting through vegetables, Guilingling still couldn’t threaten the soul of the Kunpeng.

Kong Xuan spread his wings to attack the Kunpeng, but here he couldn’t rely on his Five-Colored Divine Light using chaotic spiritual power, and after that long battle, Kong Xuan was knocked away by a few tentacles.

The terrifying soul of the Kunpeng was getting closer and closer to the forehead of the Primordial Phoenix.

A gigantic shadow appeared behind him.

It seemed to be the innate god and demon possessed by the Kunpeng.

Li Ping’an didn’t dare to get too close at this moment. His advance was actually an attempt to join forces with his master to delay the Calamity Sovereign, so that Guiling could block the Kunpeng.

But at this moment, Guiling couldn’t approach, and while the Calamity Sovereign seemed to act, he was also watching the Kunpeng, so Li Ping’an had no need for a forcible action.

The Kunpeng was already nearly mad.

At this moment, it seemed no one could stop him from getting close to the Primordial Phoenix.

Thoughts churned slightly in Li Ping’an’s mind.

Senior Uncle Duobao should be nearby; if he were to make a move at this moment, the soul of the Kunpeng would be dead for sure;

Yet Senior Uncle Duobao did not show himself, making it clear he did not want to meddle.

Or perhaps, Senior Uncle Duobao was waiting for a stake significant enough to compel his action.

Li Ping’an’s thoughts raced, and the soul of the Kunpeng had already reached the forehead of the Primordial Phoenix.

The Primordial Phoenix’s corpse had no response anymore.

“Kunpeng!”

Kong Xuan scattered his true form and transformed into a humanoid Dao Body, but at this moment he could only sit defeated on the ground, his eyes filled with a tinge of grief and indignation:

“Leave my mother!”

The soul of the Kunpeng didn’t pay any heed, slowly raising his right hand. In his palm, a multicolored tentacle like a mystical serpent crawled slowly towards the forehead of the Primordial Phoenix a hundred feet away.

That must be what he referred to as the second Primordial Spirit.

Perhaps fearing a second strike from the Primordial Phoenix’s corpse, the Kunpeng’s actions were very slow, with more and more tentacles emerging from his back, now numbering in the hundreds, maintaining a defensive posture.

“Disciple, what should we do?” Qing Su asked, frowning.

“Something’s odd,” Li Ping’an said, “This place should logically also be part of the Vast Wilderness Heaven and Earth, and should be a relatively central place, yet there’s no power of the Heavenly Dao, and Kunpeng is not being suppressed here…”

Qing Su was puzzled: “Hmm?”

Li Ping’an explained through sound transmission:

“As long as innate gods and demons enter a place under the rules of the Vast Wilderness Heaven and Earth, their strength will be severely diminished.

“The reason the soul of the Kunpeng is so strong now is that he possessed an innate god and demon, and then consumed many chaos creatures and great demons in the Chaos Sea, so he’s absurdly powerful.

“But essentially, he should count as an innate god and demon, yet he’s not being suppressed here.”

Qing Su said: “Now we must find a way to stop him, as Kunpeng is a mortal enemy of the Human Race.”

“Alright, I’ll think of a way!”

Li Ping’an’s eyes, filled with hesitation and retreat, transformed into a few shades of determination. He signaled his master to keep hiding and suddenly leapt, entering the sight of the many immortals present.

“Senior Nephew!”

Guilingling shouted excitedly, “I’m glad you’re alive! Oh dear! I’m so badly injured! After this, get me some heavenly treasures to heal!”

Li Ping’an had a few black lines hanging from his forehead.

He wasn’t idle with his hands either, throwing a few Immortal Treasure Beads towards the sky.

These beads had no real effect but merely illuminated the central area at the bottom of the Undying Volcano brightly, compensating for the lack of light after the collapse of the Five-Colored Divine Light wall.

Then, Li Ping’an let out a light shout: “Demon Master Kunpeng!”

The soul of the Kunpeng glanced over sideways.

The Calamity Sovereign chuckled gleefully at the sight, already starting to approach where Li Ping’an was.

Li Ping’an stood with his hands behind his back, not even glancing at the Calamity Sovereign, saying loudly: “Do you think you are sure to have this Primordial Phoenix’s corpse?”

The soul of the Kunpeng frowned slightly, the face burned and mixed with divine light, slowly restoring to the appearance of a middle-aged man, and the burns on his body were rapidly healing.

—The burns were mere appearances; the palm strike from the Primordial Phoenix had actually heavily injured the soul of the Kunpeng.

“Noisy.”

The soul of the Kunpeng said coldly: “New Heavenly Emperor, I mean you no harm if you mean me none, but should you wish to ruin my affairs, I will in turn destroy your Heavenly Court.”

Li Ping’an looked at the spirit serpent drawing ever closer to the Primordial Phoenix, and said with a smile, “The moment I revealed myself, you had already lost. I come by the order of Ancestral Master Hongjun to prevent you from breaking the Primordial Phoenix’s seal over the Undying Volcano.”

The soul of the Kunpeng looked towards Li Ping’an: “Oh? Then why has Heavenly Emperor not taken action?”

“As you said, for the moment you and I mean each other no harm.”

Li Ping’an said calmly:

“Before things escalate, I’d like to advise you, return from the lost path and be no more ensnared.

“If you can tame an innate god and demon, why not contribute to this world? It would be better than being burdened with the curse of life and spurned by all beings like you are now.

“When the Heavenly Court unifies the Vast Wilderness Heaven and Earth, then it’ll be time for outward expansion. With your abilities, Friend, you would surely have a place in the Heavenly Court!”

The bottom of the Undying Volcano became silent as a pin.

Guilingling widened her eyes, Kong Xuan and the severely injured Roc Bird looked astonished, and the Calamity Sovereign had a few question marks hanging over his head.

Even the soul of the Kunpeng couldn’t help but frown.

The Heavenly Emperor… was persuading the Demon Master Kunpeng to surrender…

“Are you mocking me?” Kunpeng said coldly, “Is there a place in the Vast Wilderness Heaven and Earth for me?”

Li Ping’an replied, “Just because there wasn’t before, doesn’t mean there won’t be in the future. As Heavenly Emperor, I naturally wouldn’t deceive you.”

“Alright,” Kunpeng turned, looking at Li Ping’an, with the spirit serpent in his palm still inching forward, “Go kill the Three Sovereigns of the Human Race, and thereafter, I’ll follow you without question.”
