Book 07 Chapter 095: Ancient Peacock Inheritance

Buzz!

The surrounding energy corroding Kong Xuan weakened. More accurately, as his resentment resonated with the Avian King’s, the surrounding corrosive energy slowly acknowledged Kong Xuan, integrating with him.

The corrosive energy vanished, and a five-colored light poured into Kong Xuan, apparently mending his body.

Buzz!

A humongous crimson peacock image appeared before Kong Xuan.

“Ancient peacock deity?” Kong Xuan felt startled.

Whoosh!

That ancient peacock deity entered Kong Xuan’s forehead.

Kong Xuan already had an azure peacock deity in his forehead space, but that peacock deity was only a tenth the size of this ancient crimson peacock deity.

“You have awakened me. You are a peacock deity too? But you are too weak!” the crimson peacock said.

Buzz!

Kong Xuan’s consciousness entered his peacock deity.

“Ancient Senior, you have awakened? You can communicate now?” Kong Xuan said with pleasant surprise.

“Did the Avian King Resentful Spirit consume you? A long time has passed, and it has completely lost its rationality. Hah…had your resentment not resonated with it, I would not have awakened. How is the peacock race now?” the crimson peacock asked anxiously.

“I am the only one left protecting it. As for the rest, there is not a single Upper Heavenly Palace Realm or Middle Heavenly Palace Realm cultivator. If not for me holding on, the peacock race would have been extinguished. To others, we cannot even be called a race anymore,” Kong Xuan said sorrowfully.

“You are the only one holding on? You are the only Upper Heavenly Palace Realm cultivator?” the crimson peacock said in shock.

“Yes, Senior. I am here in the Corpse Mound World to do something. I ran into a powerful enemy and nearly died. If the Avian King Resentful Spirit had not swallowed me, I…,” Kong Xuan said bitterly.

“What is your cultivation?” the crimson peacock asked.

“Ninth-layer Upper Heavenly Palace Realm. However, I am still no match for the Avian King Resentful Spirit. I fought him recently. His six-colored divine light is too powerful!” Kong Xuan said bitterly.

“Ninth-layer Upper Heavenly Palace Realm? You cannot defeat the Avian King Resentful Spirit? Preposterous! With his strength, he cannot possibly be a match for you. Why are you so weak?” the crimson peacock exclaimed in shock.

“Ah! I…”

“To think you don’t even know the six-colored divine light? All peacocks need to know it by the time they reach the seventh-layer Upper Heavenly Palace Realm. You are already in the ninth layer and still don’t know it?” the crimson peacock said in confusion.

“I… That’s not right. The six-colored divine light means a super peacock deity. They are very rare,” Kong Xuan explained, feeling depressed.

“Let me see your memories. Don’t resist!” the crimson peacock said gravely.

As it spoke, the crimson peacock’s head touched the Kong Xuan’s peacock deity’s head.

Buzz!

Layers of light immediately appeared at the point of contact.

“The humans? The weak humans with no hope of redemption have become the rulers of the world? Hah! Hahaha! To think this was how things ended! Had I known, I would have let the Avian King consume all of humanity!” the crimson peacock said in shock and rage.

“The destruction of the peacock race had little connection to humans,” Kong Xuan said with a bitter smile.

“Humph! What do you know? The humans have very poor talent; how can they compare to my peacock race? However, after the Avian King and the rest fell, the peacock race’s inheritors got cut off. Heaven died too? Hah! This world is truly chaotic!” the crimson peacock said seriously.

“I want to revitalize the peacock race, but…,” Kong Xuan said with a bitter smile.

“You traveled to eight hundred thousand years in the past? The super peacock deity? Hah! It is just the six-colored divine light. During my time, in our heyday, we had twenty super peacock deities. How laughable! To think my peacock race fell to such an extent. In your memories, super peacock deities still appeared, and they would be the peacock prime of every generation. They used the faith of the peacock race to form the sixth color forcefully. At that time, the peacock race could still be considered flourishing. To think now…hah…,” the crimson peacock said bitterly.

“I’ve already done my best, but…,” Kong Xuan said bitterly.

“You are not to blame. You reached the ninth-layer Upper Heavenly Palace Realm using ordinary cultivation methods. That is extremely hard. Unfortunately, the peacock race lost its inheritance. You don’t know how to use your strength. Humph! You are already in the ninth-layer Upper Heavenly Palace Realm. No matter early-stage, middle-stage, or late-stage, no one can stop you unless they are in the consummation of the Upper Heavenly Palace Realm!” the crimson peacock said.

“Ah?” Kong Xuan said in bewilderment.

“Fortunately, the peacock’s bloodline has not ended. Excellent! Excellent! Excellent! Excellent!” the crimson peacock said excitedly.

“However, there are already very few peacocks in the world. With our current numbers, the extinction of our race is only a matter of time if not for me protecting them,” Kong Xuan sighed.

“That’s because the peacock race lost its inheritance. It does not matter. You don’t have the inheritance, so use your deity to consume me, receive my inheritance. I’ll show you how powerful the peacock race was. The Sword Deity Six Paths that the Avian King Resentful Spirit is fighting is just in the eighth-layer Upper Heavenly Palace Realm. So what if his sword strikes are powerful? Humph! If you receive the inheritance, he will be no match for you. Hurry!” the crimson peacock said.

“However, what will the Avian King do if I consume you?” Kong Xuan frowned.

“After you consume me, he can finally rest. It will all be worth it if the peacock race can rise again,” the crimson peacock said extremely solemnly.

“I…? Yes!” Kong Xuan answered.

Then Kong Xuan opened his mouth to consume the crimson peacock.

“Remember, be careful of Jiangchen!” The crimson peacock issued one final warning.

Whoosh!

The crimson peacock immediately entered the mouth of Kong Xuan’s peacock deity.

At the same time, many other crimson peacocks rushed out of the Avian King Resentful Spirit’s stomach and into the mouth of Kong Xuan’s peacock deity, one after another.

The ancient peacock deity felt no resentment nor had any complaint. It chose to give Kong Xuan everything, expecting nothing in return, for the sake of their race.

“Kong Xuan will remember Senior’s loyalty. Kong Xuan guarantees to fight to the death for the peacock race!” Kong Xuan called out gravely.

Coo! Coo!

After the ancient peacock deity’s noble act of self-sacrifice, the energy within the Avian King Resentful Spirit quickly poured into Kong Xuan, mending his body.

Kong Xuan sat cross-legged as many peacock race secret techniques suddenly appeared in his mind after the ancient peacock deity’s sacrifice.

“There are so many inheritances?” Kong Xuan said with wild joy.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, a beam of five-colored divine light appeared from Kong Xuan’s palms. Then he merged the two beams, slowly forming a sixth color.

Buzz!

A beam of six-colored divine light appeared in Kong Xuan’s palm, giving off a piercing radiance and a different aura.

If the Avian King Resentful Spirit’s six-colored divine light were considered lifeless, Kong Xuan’s six-colored divine light was vibrant and full of life. This radiance seemed much stronger than the Avian King Resentful Spirit’s six-colored divine light.

------

Outside:

Boom!

The Sword Deity Six Paths knocked the Avian King Resentful Spirit back with a sword strike.

“Humph! You are getting weaker. Earlier, you could still block me. Now, you have become like Kong Xuan. The peacock race is only so-so. Your race deserves to be exterminated!” the Sword Deity Six Paths sneered.

That last line seemed to agitate the Avian King, enraging it.

Coo!

Boom!

The Avian King attacked with everything it had, flinging out increasingly dimmer six-colored divine lights.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

After about an hour or so, the relentless sword strikes had riddled the Avian King with injuries.

“You are getting weaker. Humph! Only so-so. Watch as I tear open your stomach to get Kong Xuan!” The Sword Deity Six Paths’s eyes turned cold as he swung his sword.

Boom!

The sword moved extremely quickly; the weakened resentful spirit had no way to block it. The Sword Deity Six Paths instantly split it in half.

“Humph!” The Sword Deity Six Paths revealed a faint sneer as he turned his head to look.

Boom!

A loud sound accompanied the powerful Avian King Resentful Spirit’s explosion.

When the Avian King exploded, it let out a joyful peacock cry. Coo!

“One of the strongest resentful spirits in the Corpse Mound World? Only so-so! Hahahahaha!” the Sword Deity Six Paths guffawed in disdain.

However, the Sword Deity Six Paths’s expression stiffened in mid-laughter. “That’s not right. Its final cry after I killed it was not one of increasing resentment or refusal to accept that. Its Resentful Energy disappeared? That’s impossible. Why does it feel like one of release? Why would it be liberated?”

“Because the Avian King knew I would take revenge for it!” An icy voice suddenly came from the center of the explosion.

“Huh? Kong Xuan?” The Sword Deity Six Paths’s face sank.

Rumble…!

The shock wave from the explosion scattered, and space mended slowly.

The Avian King Resentful Spirit had already exploded into powder and dissipated like smoke. However, Kong Xuan suddenly appeared where it had been.

Kong Xuan was still Kong Xuan, less his previous injuries, albeit with tattered clothes. His aura was withdrawn as he stood there. If one did not look, one would not realize he was there. It seemed like he had become one with the world.

“Kong Xuan, you are still alive?” The Sword Deity Six Paths’s eyes turned cold.

Kong Xuan no longer feared the Sword Deity Six Paths. He even turned his back to the Sword Deity Six Paths.

Standing in midair, Kong Xuan bowed respectfully to where the explosion had occurred. “Avian King, Kong Xuan will help you accomplish your dying wish. That is also my life’s ambition!”

“Senior, many thanks for passing on the mysteries of my peacock race’s talent. I was truly stupid before. To think I did not know how to use such a great talent. Although I have grasped just a tenth of it now, it is already sufficient! It is sufficient!” Kong Xuan bowed a second time.

“Humph! Acting all mysterious!” the Sword Deity Six Paths sneered.

Shing!

The Sword Deity Six Paths thrust a sword at Kong Xuan’s back.

Four hundred beams of five-colored divine light could not block this sword strike earlier. Now, it targeted Kong Xuan’s back, apparently a lethal blow.

“Sword Deity Six Paths, do you understand the mysteries of the six-colored divine light?” Kong Xuan asked indifferently with his back to the sword.

Buzz!

Kong Xuan’s body immaterialized, turning into a beam of six-colored divine light.

Boom!

The sword swung down, tearing space and shattering a large swath of land in the distance.

However, the sword passed through Kong Xuan’s body. He remained standing in place, untouched. It looked like he was in another space.

“What?” The Sword Deity Six Paths’s expression changed.

How could the holy sword have failed to hit Kong Xuan?

Kong Xuan’s figure slowly rematerialized as he slowly turned his head back.

With a frosty cast to his eyes, he said, “Sword Deity Six Paths? It is my turn now!”
