Chapter 520 - 520 529 Granting Favors to Kong Xuan

520: Chapter 529: Granting Favors to Kong Xuan 520: Chapter 529: Granting Favors to Kong Xuan “Come, speak to me,” Ye Xuan said calmly.

“Why do you hold such animosity towards your father?”

Upon mentioning his relationship with Kong Xuan, the Heavenly Peng King’s expression fluctuated, and he became somewhat silent.

It was not until dozens of breaths passed that the Heavenly Peng King slowly began to speak, recounting the unresolved conflict between father and son.

The story began 150,000 years ago!

Kong Xuan, the first Five-Colored Peacock since the beginning of Heaven and Earth, whose innate Divine Ability, the Five-Colored Divine Light, shook the Three Realms and was revered as an ancestor.

It was such a supreme being who dallied in the Red Dust, transforming into a mortal to fall in love with a human woman in the Earth Immortal Realm, and from this union, the Heavenly Peng King was born.

Kong Xuan, in his true form a Five-Colored Peacock and possessing supreme Mana, fell in love with a mere mortal woman.

Their union, while not defying Heaven, led to the woman’s death from shattering her soul while giving birth to the Heavenly Peng King, scattering her existence between Heaven and Earth.

The death of the mother of the Heavenly Peng King filled Kong Xuan with extreme sorrow.

Even though he was a figure of the Third Water Dividing Ridge of Daluo, he could not bring his wife back to life, and he vented all his resentment on the Heavenly Peng King.

It’s well known that the Five-Colored Peacock lineage is born from Heaven and Earth itself, not through offspring inheritance.

Although the Heavenly Peng King carried Kong Xuan’s blood, his true form was that of the Golden Winged Great Peng, whose innate talents were also extremely fearsome but still fell short compared to the Five-Colored Peacock, adding to Kong Xuan’s humiliation.

In the Heavenly Peng King’s memory, he had never seen his mother from the time he was young.

He learned of her death through Kong Xuan’s reprimands, blaming it on him, which became the biggest shadow in the Heavenly Peng King’s heart.

Harsh scoldings and reprimands from a young age were the Heavenly Peng King’s impressions of Kong Xuan.

He never felt what was called paternal love and also had to endure Kong Xuan’s beatings from time to time, fueling his intense resentment towards Kong Xuan.

Once the Heavenly Peng King stepped into the Taiyi Realm, he finally found an opportunity to leave the Western Continent.

After a series of escapes, he entered Huaguo Mountain and became a Demon King.

After hearing the Heavenly Peng King’s narration, Ye Xuan shook his head helplessly.

“So you mean to say,” Ye Xuan said softly, “your father blames you for your mother’s death and hates that you’re a Heavenly Peng, not a Five-Colored Peacock, making him lose face so much that he wishes he could beat you to death?”

“Heavenly Emperor, you’ve seen it yourself, he didn’t kill me, only because he feared others would say he was heartless for killing his son.

I, the Heavenly Peng King, do not have such a father, and he has never treated me as his son either,” the Heavenly Peng King said coldly.

“Fine, since that’s the case, I have nothing more to say.

However, I’d like to make a bet with you to see if your father truly wishes you dead or not.

Do you dare to wager with me?” Ye Xuan proposed.

“How will we bet?” The Heavenly Peng King asked, slightly stunned.

…

A half-day passed, and when Kong Xuan entered the Dou Niu Palace once again, Ye Xuan stood with his hands clasped behind his back, and the Heavenly Peng King stood to one side.

This caused Kong Xuan to glare fiercely at the Heavenly Peng King, his remaining anger evident.

“Brother Ye, I intend to take this rebellious son back to the Western Continent and imprison him for eternity.

I ask Brother Ye to grant me this favor,” Kong Xuan said bluntly.

“Big Brother Kong, I have come to understand the matter between you and your son,” Ye Xuan said with a smile.

“Since you hate him so much and care about what others might think of you for killing your son, let me be the villain instead.”

Upon hearing Ye Xuan’s words, Kong Xuan frowned slightly, not quite understanding the meaning behind Ye Xuan’s words.

At that moment, a terrifying aura burst forth from Ye Xuan’s body.

With the fall of his palm, it carried a terrifying will to kill towards the Heavenly Peng King.

Boom!

The void collapsed, and the fabric of space and time was thrown into disarray.

Ye Xuan’s strike was merciless, showing a power capable of destroying immortals and gods.

If this strike landed on the Heavenly Peng King, it would surely scatter his soul and kill him.

Such a turn of events caused Kong Xuan’s complexion to change drastically.

Without giving Kong Xuan time to think, Daluo Immortal Light surged forth, his palm striking out like the Heavenly River inverting, directly assaulting Ye Xuan, and he positioned himself in front of the Heavenly Peng King.

Bang!

A thunderous boom echoed as the Dou Niu Palace shook violently.

The collision between the two was too dazzling and too terrifying, but it allowed the Heavenly Peng King’s life to be spared.

“Brother Ye, what are you trying to do?” Kong Xuan’s expression turned cold, his voice taking on a chilling tone.

“Kong Xuan, since the Heavenly Peng King caused the death of his mother and his true form is not that of a Five-Colored Peacock, making him nothing but a disgrace to you, wouldn’t killing him suit your wishes even more?”

Ye Xuan said with a smile, giving Kong Xuan no time to think as he took a step forward, suddenly appearing in front of the Heavenly Peng King, and pointed towards the Heavenly Peng King’s brow, evidently intending to shatter his Primordial Spirit.

“You dare?”

Kong Xuan burst into a furious rage, flipping his palm towards Ye Xuan, once again shielding the Heavenly Peng King behind him.

“Kong Xuan, there’s never been anyone who could stop me from killing those I wish to slay!” Ye Xuan replied with a cruel smile.

With his palms forming Immortal Techniques, his entire being slipped into the void, unleashing boundless Slaughter Technique power towards the Heavenly Peng King.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Heaven and Earth erupted, and the void shattered.

In an instant, Kong Xuan engaged in battle with Ye Xuan, his face icy cold.

Ye Xuan, however, had no desire to get entangled with Kong Xuan and instead directed various Slaughter Techniques towards the Heavenly Peng King.

This maneuver distracted Kong Xuan, who was forced to divide his attention to protect the Heavenly Peng King, quickly putting him at a disadvantage.

“Die!”

Boom!

Ye Xuan struck out with his palm, and without waiting for Kong Xuan’s rescue, the Heavenly Peng King’s physical body was instantly shattered by Ye Xuan, his Primordial Spirit turning into specks of golden light—a clear sign that his soul had scattered and he perished.

This scene left Kong Xuan stunned where he stood, his eyes reddening with fury.

The fearsome Five-Colored Divine Light swirled outwards, causing the Thirty-Three Layered Heavens to tremble violently.

Murderous intent, wrath, and boundless hatred—that was Kong Xuan’s state at that moment.

“Ye Xuan, you cur, return my son’s life!”

Wrath shot to the sky, murderous intent soared, and a piercing cry could be heard tearing through the heavens.

Kong Xuan’s body exploded with Five-Colored Divine Light, as he transformed into his true Five-Colored Peacock form.

The burning Five-Colored Holy Light even began to collapse the surrounding Heaven and Earth, and the Dou Niu Palace itself started to crack.

Had it not been for the Heavenly Protection Array guarding the Thirty-Three Layered Heavens, the palace would have turned to ashes in an instant.

Kong Xuan, as the Five-Colored Peacock, unleashed horrifying Five-Colored Divine Light that eradicated everything.

When all five colors of light merged into one, even Ye Xuan’s mind tensed slightly, his eyes showing utmost seriousness.

“Dad!”

Suddenly, before Kong Xuan could strike, a sorrowful voice rang out from behind him, causing Kong Xuan’s breath to catch.

He turned abruptly, only to see the Heavenly Peng King unharmed and standing in front of him, without a single wound on his body, let alone having his soul scattered.

Hum!

The Five-Colored Divine Light dispersed, and Kong Xuan dully watched the Heavenly Peng King, then suddenly turned to look at Ye Xuan with an expression of extreme bitterness.

“Brother Ye, I didn’t expect you to play me like this!”

“Heavenly Peng, can you still say your father wished for your death?

He has fought desperately against me, even going so far as to reveal his true form as the Five-Colored Peacock.”

Ye Xuan smiled faintly at the Heavenly Peng King, causing the latter to bite his lip and kneel behind Kong Xuan, tears unstoppable as they streamed down.

“Hmph, disobedient child!”

When the Heavenly Peng King appeared alive in front of Kong Xuan, he suddenly realized the truth of the situation.

Yet, being someone who greatly valued face, he still pretended to be angry as he scolded his son.

“Dad, I was wrong!” The Heavenly Peng King knelt down and kowtowed, his voice choked with emotion, like a child who had done something wrong, daring not to look into Kong Xuan’s eyes.

“There’s no hatred between father and son that lasts overnight.

You two should have a proper talk.”

Ye Xuan smiled lightly, knowing it was time to give the father and son some private space.

With that, he turned and walked out of the Dou Niu Palace.

In reality, Ye Xuan resolving the rift between the father and son was only one objective; his true purpose was to have Kong Xuan owe him a favor.

It is known that although the Thirty-Three Layered Heaven has grown in strength, only Ye Xuan is capable of contending against those of the Daluo Third Water Dividing Ridge in high-end combat strength.

And whether it’s the Underworld or the Western Lingshan, there are several formidable beings at the level of the Daluo Third Water Dividing Ridge.

Today’s reconciliation between Kong Xuan and his son would surely leave Kong Xuan extremely grateful to Ye Xuan.

His greater goal was to bring Kong Xuan into the fold of the Heavenly Court.

Some might say that Ye Xuan is scheming, but for him, ascending to the position of Heavenly Emperor, it was essential to have such powerful figures by his side.

Kong Xuan was the prime candidate he had in mind.

This had nothing to do with righteousness or cunning strategies—it was simply a necessity for Ye Xuan, a crucial factor in ensuring his firm footing in the Three Realms.

Kong Xuan, the singular Five-Colored Peacock in Heaven and Earth, with his aid, would also add a significant piece to Ye Xuan’s strategic positioning within the cosmic chessboard.
