The Huai River Water Transport has already been refined; as long as no cultivators disrupt the river flow and damage its vital energy channels, there would be no impact even if Xuanqing is not stationed here.

Thus, he immediately prepared to return to Golden Turtle Island, to avoid the trouble from the cultivators of the Phoenix Clan.

But what he feared came to pass - on the way back to Golden Turtle Island with Zhao Gongming, they were intercepted by a valiant man clad in a Five-Colored Immortal Robe wielding his Divine Skills.

"Was it you who killed the Roc?"

The man unleashed a "Five-Colored Divine Light," directly pulling Xuanqing and Zhao Gongming into a Five Elements World: "Although my Phoenix Clan has fallen, we are not to be bullied at whim! Even if you are disciples of a Saint, having killed the Roc, you must endure the towering fury of my Phoenix Clan!"

"Kong Xuan?"

Xuanqing tentatively asked.

He had never met Kong Xuan, but this "Five-Colored Divine Light" was simply too unique. It was singular in all of Primordial, and quite recognizable.

"Do you know me?"

Kong Xuan, full of confusion – after his Transformation, he rarely left the Undying Volcano and was not well-known, yet Xuanqing was able to call him by name.

Nevertheless, the accounts that must be settled, still must be settled!

With a cold voice he declared, "Knowing my origins and still daring to kill my brother, you truly have audaciousness that defies the heavens!"

Golden Winged Great Roc and he, both were offspring borne from the compatibility of Innate Yin Yang Qi and Innate Five Elements Qi that entered their bodies when Yuan Feng returned to the Undying Volcano after the Dao Demon Wars – siblings born of the same mother. Though he was not very fond of him, he could not allow outsiders to kill him!

Upon hearing this, Xuanqing sneered, "Worthy of being the foremost peacock between heaven and earth, truly arrogant and overbearing, just like the Golden Winged Great Roc! If not for the Roc’s intent to kill me for treasures due to my affiliation with the Dragon Clan, how would he have ended up dead and obliterated?"

"It was simply him reaping what he sowed!"

"If he could kill me, why couldn’t I kill him? What a ridiculous notion!"

"Behold the Devastating Divine Thunder!"

Without any hesitation, he activated the "Devastating Divine Thunder," with power enough to split heaven and earth, manifesting a torrential barrage of thunder which immediately shattered Kong Xuan’s Five Elements World created from Innate Five Elements Qi.

Boom!

Thunder roared like a waterfall, filled with an intense aura of destruction, instantly causing the Five Elements World to collapse. Seizing the opportunity, Xuanqing and Zhao Gongming immediately brandished their Spiritual Treasures to strike at Kong Xuan.

"Purple Lightning Hammer!"

"Ocean Stabilizing Pearl!"

Xuanqing knew Kong Xuan’s "Five-Colored Divine Light" could sweep through anything within the Five Elements, so he specifically avoided using Divine Skills and Innate Spiritual Treasures related to the Five Elements Great Dao.

He could sense that Kong Xuan, currently at the peak of Daluo Golden Immortal, had not yet crossed into the Quasi-Saint realm, naturally not invoking any fear.

"Five-Colored Divine Light!"

Kong Xuan was also taken aback; he did not anticipate that just one thunder strike from Xuanqing would shatter his Divine Skill. He hastened to activate his Divine Skill against the duo’s attack.

The Tao of Five Elements is endlessly transformative, not only capable of entrapment but also of offense and defense, spectacularly bursting forth in a brilliant explosion of five-colored light.

"Thunder Emperor Seal!"

While activating the "Cosmic Light Bell" to protect himself, Xuanqing also intensified his Divine Skills with the "Purple Lightning Hammer," causing tens of thousands of thunder dragons to surge toward Kong Xuan.

Seeing this, Kong Xuan immediately increased his mana output, with the power of the Five Elements manifesting into divine birds - Honghu, Qingluan, Yuzui, Vermilion Bird, and Yuan Chu dancing wildly in the vault of heaven, almost materializing the Five Elements Great Dao.

At the same time, he also had to defend against the attacks from "Twenty-Four Sea Suppressing Beads," with the power of the Five Elements suppressing the heavens, turning millions of miles of space into dust.

"Be careful not to have your Spiritual Treasures swept away by his bizarre Five-Colored Divine Light!"

Xuanqing urgently warned.

Zhao Gongming’s "Twenty-Four Ocean Stabilizing Pearls" was a set of combined Spiritual Treasures, individually only considered as Middle Grade Spiritual Treasures, but together comparable to Top Grade Spiritual Treasures.

If used together to suppress, he believed that Kong Xuan’s Divine Skills couldn’t sweep them away, but if used in dispersed attacks, perhaps Kong Xuan might indeed find an opportunity!

"Heavenly Thunder Refining Realm!"

Xuanqing activated tens of thousands of thunderbolts, evolving a realm of thunder enveloping Kong Xuan, attempting to continuously erode his Divine Skills and mana.

Kong Xuan felt greatly restricted!

His "Five-Colored Divine Light" could restrain Divine Skills within the Five Elements, but Xuanqing’s deployed "Devastating Divine Thunder" was precisely not amongst the Five Elements.

Yet to retreat like this, he was extremely unwilling and immediately transformed the "Five-Colored Divine Light" into a Five Elements Divine Sword, fiercely slashing towards Xuanqing and Zhao Gongming.

"Great Five Elements Annihilation Slash!"

In an instant, the power of the Five Elements grew increasingly mighty, converging at one point, the ultimate destructive power instantly turned into a sword glow that reduced a vast expanse of space to dust.

"Cosmic Light Bell!"

Xuanqing urgently activated the Spiritual Treasure for defense.

Countless Dust Worlds emerged and vanished; a power of Space-Time subtly lingered, between the cycles of world creation and destruction, exploding with boundless creative power suddenly colliding intensely.

Ding!

The bell resounded, echoing through the heavens, suppressing the universe, continuously colliding with the Five Elements power.

Kong Xuan’s Divine Skill was extremely extraordinary; this was the first time Xuanqing had pushed the "Cosmic Light Bell" to its utmost, the dazzling divine light enveloping the universe.

"Five Decays Technique!"

With divided attention, he also activated the Curse Technique from Pan King’s legacy, intending to curse kill Kong Xuan; five sinister black energies immediately transformed into five Demon Gods manifesting in the void.

"Ah!"

Kong Xuan immediately felt intense pain transmitting from his Primordial Spirit; although this Curse Power could not kill him instantly, it abruptly impacted his Divine Skills.

Caught off-guard, a "Devastating Divine Thunder" crossed millions of miles of space and struck him; he even didn’t have time to activate "Five-Colored Divine Light" to protect himself.

"Wind and Thunder Break!"

And Zhao Gongming, too, was a master at seizing the opportunity in battle. The "Sea Suppressing Golden Whip" harnessed the immense power of wind and thunder, striking him fiercely in the blink of an eye.

"Netherworld Geomancy Map, suppress!"

Seizing the moment, Xuanqing immediately summoned the Spiritual Treasure and trapped Kong Xuan within it.

This Spiritual Treasure, a map of the World of Darkness, contains endless space, and is essentially no less powerful than the "Mountain and River Map," capable of suppressing any cultivator below the level of Saints.

Of course, the prerequisite for suppression is to engulf the target into the world inside the map.

Xuanqing was not prepared to let Kong Xuan off the hook.

Although he greatly admired Kong Xuan, due to the Golden Winged Great Roc’s involvement, it was impossible for them to turn enemies into friends, and he could only strive to eliminate this potential threat.

However, to avoid any unexpected changes, he decided to return to Golden Turtle Island first.

Kong Xuan was extraordinarily talented, destined to become a Quasi-Saint in the future, and the Phoenix Clan would certainly send a Quasi-Saint to rescue him.

The Phoenix Clan’s heritage was not inferior to that of the Dragon Clan, which had several Quasi-Saints like Candle Dragon, Ying Long, and Mirage Dragon... He did not believe the Phoenix Clan had none!

Daluo Golden Immortal he was not afraid of, but the appearance of two Quasi-Saints would be beyond his current capability to cope with.

Soon, he and Zhao Gongming returned to Golden Turtle Island. After visiting the Tongtian Sect Master, he went straight back to his cave dwelling to begin dealing with Kong Xuan.

Meanwhile, Kong Xuan in the "Netherworld Geomancy Map" kept trying, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t break the space created by the Top Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure.

"Kong Xuan Daoist, stop wasting your effort!"

Xuanqing’s voice echoed in Kong Xuan’s ear: "He who kills, must be prepared to be killed! Since you attacked me, you must be prepared to be killed by me!"

As his words ended, the "Innate Thunder Pool" suddenly materialized inside the "Netherworld Geomancy Map," and relentless thunderbolts rained down on Kong Xuan like a torrent.

Additionally, a curse power, using the karma as a medium, targeted to curse kill Kong Xuan’s Primordial Spirit and Physical Body, leaving him no energy to resist the thunderbolts.

"Thunder Tribulation Curse Destruction!"

The Thunder Dao of Daluo Heaven and the Plague Dao of Daluo Heaven manifested, evolving like Yin and Yang, unleashing a cataclysmic force as if the Heavenly Dao was about to send down a thunder tribulation to exterminate heresy.

Kong Xuan barely stabilized his posture, looked up at the sea of thunder tribulation, and showed a faint wistful smile: "I never thought, I, Kong Xuan, would end up like this!"

"I underestimated you!"

He had always believed that his realm in Daluo was unparalleled, and his "Five-Colored Divine Light" could cleanse anything, handling Xuanqing should have been easy.

Yet, due to a moment of carelessness, he was trapped inside the "Netherworld Geomancy Map."

"Next life, be more careful!"

Xuanqing’s expression was indifferent, continuing to stimulate the thunder and curse power to completely destroy Kong Xuan’s True Spirit while trying to extract the "Innate Five Elements Qi" from him!

Yin Yang and the Five Elements inherently complement each other; acquiring the "Innate Five Elements Qi" would immensely benefit both his Yin Yang Great Dao and Five Elements Great Dao.

Even, he intended to use the "Innate Yin Yang Qi" and "Innate Five Elements Qi" to evolve a supreme divine skill no less powerful than the "Five-Colored Divine Light"!

The "Netherworld Geomancy Map" suppresses all methods, the "Innate Thunder Pool" targets Kong Xuan’s physical body, and the curse technique continuously erodes Kong Xuan’s Primordial Spirit like a parasite, merely after a few days, Kong Xuan turned into ash.

And his accompanying "Innate Five Elements Qi" was on the verge of dispersing; Xuanqing quickly stimulated the Creation Great Dao to collect it into the "Creation Furnace."

Under his immense thunderbolts, some of the "Innate Five Elements Qi" was still lost, but he had the Essence of Five Elements to compensate for this loss.

He was not too worried!

However, after consecutively killing the Golden Winged Great Roc and Kong Xuan, he and the Phoenix Clan had formed a deadly feud; he must be more careful and cautious in his actions in the future.

"If I had known earlier, I would have asked my teacher to investigate when I obtained the Ding Fire Essence!"

Xuanqing deeply reflected.

After all, Ling Guang Divine Monarch was among the top powers in Primordial, next only to several Saints, no one should underestimate him, even slight carelessness could lead to falling into his schemes.

And the opponent, also being one of the Four Holy Beasts guarding Primordial, had duties from the Heavenly Dao; even Saints wouldn’t dare to easily strike him down.

Like Zhen Yuanzi, this opponent is untouchable and unkillable; any action would lead to accumulating Karma and even could provoke the Heavenly Dao to send down Heavenly Punishment!

"Hmm?"

Just as Xuanqing was planning to close up until the Flat Peach event, his vision spun dizzyingly, it was his consciousness being drawn into Taixu Heaven again.

This time, having advanced in Daluo, Nuwa did not move his physical body, only allowing his consciousness to manifest in Taixu Heaven.

In front of Nuwa, two Phoenix Clan Quasi-Saints kneeled, seemingly requesting Nuwa to advocate for them.

"Greetings, Holy Mother Lady!"

Seeing this, Xuanqing quickly paid his respects to Nuwa.

Nuwa sighed upon hearing this, then looked at Xuanqing and slowly said, "A few days ago, did you suppress a five-colored peacock?"

"Yes!"

Xuanqing admitted openly and frankly: "However, just before Lady summoned me, I had already refined that five-colored peacock into ashes!"

He didn’t expect that, even hiding on Golden Turtle Island, the Phoenix Clan couldn’t touch him, and they ended up seeking Nuwa Lady’s help, but they were just a step too late.

Kong Xuan had turned into ash, and even if Nuwa Lady pleaded for him, it was beyond saving.

"What?"

Upon hearing this, one of the kneeling Phoenix Clan Quasi-Saints suddenly erupted in anger: "This is intolerable! You, how dare you consecutively slay two Crown Princes of our Phoenix Clan!"

Xuanqing heard this and scoffed coldly: "He who kills, must be prepared to be killed! Could it be that only the Phoenix Clan is allowed to bully the weak, and not allow me to retaliate?"

"Several Yuan meetings ago, the Golden Winged Great Roc attacked me on the East Sea; recently, that Kong Xuan showed lethal intentions against me and Daoist Gongming! "

"Both times, it was your Phoenix Clan who struck first, and now you even blame me!"

"Truly shameless!"

"Being weaker is one thing, but now you even have the audacity to run to Taixu Heaven, twisting right and wrong, stirring up trouble, asking the Lady to side with you?"
