Chapter 2201: Dire Straits
The Azure Peng King had arrived in person. His colossal figure arrived in space, deeply shocking everyone on planet Tianming.
At that moment, countless people stared at the sky. From the planet, they looked at the huge, azure peng that blotted out the sky. They were all stunned.
At the same time, all the Primordial realm experts in the Feng Empire were alarmed. All of them stopped what they were doing and emerged from seclusion, hovering in the air as they stared at the sky sternly.
In various places across planet Tianming, a few ancient existences who had once caused quite the ruckus awakened from their slumber. They roused from seclusion and also hovered in the sky, staring at the Azure Peng King sternly.
Publically renowned as the most powerful expert on planet Tianming, the planet lord slowly made his way out from his hall. He stood outside as he stared at the Azure Peng King, who had come from outer space. He frowned, and then he murmured, “The Azure Peng King sent me a message just earlier to get me to seal up planet Tianming. Only a few seconds have passed, and he has already arrived here. His speed truly is terrifying.”
“But what I don’t understand is what could make the Azure Peng King care so much, going as far as travelling such a great distance to come to this planet personally? Perhaps… Jian Chen, who he and the Solitary Sword Ancestor are searching for, is on my Dark Sky Planet?”
As he thought that, the planet lord had already taken a step. He crossed through space and appeared outside the protective formations like he had teleported. He hovered before the Azure Peng King from a distance.
The Azure Peng King did not shrink himself, so when the planet lord stood before his planet-sized body, the planet lord really did seem as insignificant as an ant.
“Heavenly King of Azure Brilliance, may I ask what has angered you so much? There are many prodigies from various places on my Dark Sky Planet. They’re all innocent, and they can’t endure your pressure,” the planet lord said to the Azure Peng King with clasped hands. He smiled warmly, clearly showing some respect towards the Azure Peng King.
The Azure Peng King had used his presence to envelop the planet right from the start. No matter what his reason for doing that was, it was basically provoking the entire planet. As the master of planet Tianming, the planet lord had to stand forward. However, due to how powerful the Azure Peng King was, he dared not truly offend him.
“Jian Chen, who this king is searching for, is on the planet. Open the formation immediately,” said the Azure Peng King. His voice was cold and filled with killing intent. He spoke like it was an order, leaving no room for others to talk back. As he said that, his colossal body rapidly shrunk as he turned back into a middle-aged man in azure robes. His face was sickly pale.
“The Azure Peng King is clearly injured, and his wounds aren’t light. It looks like it’s true that he was injured by the first majesty of the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng,” the planet lord was secretly surprised when he saw the haggardness on the Azure Peng King’s face. However, he showed none of it on his face. Immediately, he opened the formations around the planet and sighed emotionally, “I never thought that the famous Jian Chen would be on my tiny planet. However, Jian Chen is no ordinary person either. It’s said that he has close ties with the God clan, where the little War God of the God clan treats him like a brother. He said that he would protect Jian Chen, forcing many peak organisations who resent Jian Chen to give up on their hunt for him. After all, the God clan was once the greatest clan in the Saints’ World. Even though they’ve declined now, their heritage runs so deep that they still cannot be underestimated.”
“Moreover, there’s a young man from the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng called Ming Dong. I heard that his relationship with Jian Chen is anything but ordinary as well. Rumours about Ming Dong are everywhere in the Saints’ World now. It’s said that he’s either the eighth majesty’s disciple or the first majesty’s disciple.”
“Sigh, Jian Chen’s status really is extraordinary…”
The planet lord also loathed the Azure Peng King’s condescending attitude, so he mentioned Ming Dong as well as the eighth and first majesties of the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng to secretly scoff at him.
He had even mentioned the God clan. His intentions were naturally to point out how the Azure Peng King treated himself with so much importance that he would not even respect the God clan.
The Azure Peng King glanced at the planet lord coldly before directly flying towards the planet.
“What you said then was extremely likely to anger the Azure Peng King. Are you unafraid that the Azure Peng King will resent you because of this?” Six figures appeared silently behind the planet lord after the Azure Peng King had left.
They varied in age, and they all seemed like ordinary people. However, their eyes were so profound that they seemed to hold a universe within them.
“The Azure Peng King was ordering me. He directly passed an order to me. Hmph, he’s far too haughty. I’m also a Grand Prime, just like him. He has his pride, but that doesn’t mean I don’t have mine. I can yield to him a little, but I will never bow down to him,” the planet lord’s face had also sunk.
“You’re right. The Azure Peng King has indeed been too haughty. He hasn’t taken our planet seriously at all. If it were the Solitary Sword Ancestor, I’d naturally have nothing to say, but the Azure Peng King is unable to make me act like that willingly,” an old man said emotionlessly.
…
“It’s the infamous Azure Peng King. We’re in deep trouble now,” Xu Ran became extremely stern in the Feng Empire.
Beside her, Jian Chen’s face became extremely sunken as well. The light in his eyes flickered as he tried to think of a way to deal with the Azure Peng King.
Kai Ya’s expression also became rather uneasy. She clung onto Jian Chen’s arm tightly as she felt anxious.
“Before the Azure Peng King, all of your disguises are useless. After all, the difference between your cultivation levels is just too great. Also, the senses of a Grand Prime’s soul can easily envelop the entire planet,” Xu Ran said to Jian Chen secretly as she was worried for the two of them.
Jian Chen’s heart sank even more from that. The senses of the Azure Peng King’s soul could envelop the entire planet. That meant that anything that happened on the planet, even just grass waving in the wind, would not be able to escape the Azure Peng King’s senses. He was truly unable to hide on planet Tianming.
“Senior Xu, Kai Ya, enter my divine hall,” Jian Chen made up his mind on the spot. He dared not expose the Anatta Tower at a place like this, so he could only take out an inconspicuous divine hall. At the same time, he clenched his last Cosmic Movement Talisman.
Currently, this was the only method of escape he could think of.
However, before Jian Chen could let Xu Ran and Kai Ya into the divine hall, terrifying senses of the soul swept over, engulfing the entire planet.
The planet seemed to stop as it was enveloped. Everything seemed to fall silent while origin energy seemed to freeze in that instance.
All the cultivators below the Primordial realm felt like their bodies had become restrained by a mysterious power that completely immobilised them.
This was the senses of a Grand Prime’s soul. It could easily interfere with the operations of the world and control the lives of everyone.
“Oh no!” Jian Chen realised the horrible situation. Under the senses of the soul, a bone-chilling sensation rose up from the bottom of his heart. He felt like he had been thrown into a cavern of ice.
“Hmph. Jian Chen, this king would like to see where you escape off to. No one can save you today,” at the same time, an icy voice rang out loudly. The Azure Peng King had appeared silently in the air above the Feng Empire. He stared at Jian Chen coldly.
No matter how Jian Chen hid, he was unable to disguise himself before the Azure Peng King. He was recognised in a single glance.
