Chapter 211: Peacock Knight? Interesting!
Chapter 211: Peacock Knight? Interesting!
But how was that possible!
Kong Meng’s pupils dilated when she saw the jade-green vine create cracks along her Rainbow Divine Light.
This was the Rainbow Divine Light, which she had put in all her efforts to cultivate. The Rainbow Divine Light skill that she had refined to the highest levels!
Even though Kong Meng’s cultivation level had been suppressed to the Foundation Establishment stage, she could still easily block a Golden Core attack with her Rainbow Divine Light.
But her Rainbow Divine Light had cracked under Shen Tian’s attack.
What did this mean?
It clearly showed the power of Shen Tian’s whip. It must have already reached the critical point of the Nascent Soul stage!
It was truly terrifying!
“So powerful! Is this the true power of an Eastern Wilderness prodigy?”
Kong Meng’s eyes filled with excitement. “You have indeed not disappointed me!”
After taking a deep breath, Kong Meng smiled. “It looks like I must also display my true capabilities now!”
With that, Kong Meng’s multi-colored peacock suddenly turned into a pure gold color. The original Rainbow Divine Light had also turned golden.
The cracks healed rapidly, and Kong Meng transformed into a golden peacock.
She was regal and magnificent. She looked like the Queen of Peacocks.
Behind her, Jin Yu and He Wushuang both looked shocked. “She actually refined her skill with the Mixed Immortal Metal!”
The Mixed Immortal Metal was the Southern Border Peacock race’s precious treasure. It was stored in the innermost part of their ancestral hall and worshipped as the most cherished treasure of the race.
Although it was only ranked 12th on the Immortal Metal List, it could merge with the five elements’ energy and greatly enhance the powers of the Peacock race’s Rainbow Divine Light.
This was the Immortal Metal that most suited the Peacock race. It was also the most suitable material for five elements techniques.
It was rumored that tens of thousands of years ago, the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground had once requested it in exchange for one of the top ten Immortal Metals, but the Peacock race had rejected them.
It could be seen just how highly the Peacock race valued their piece of Immortal Metal!
Jin Yu and the rest thought that the Peacock race would only hand Kong Meng this family treasure after she attained the highest level. They never expected the Peacock race to think so highly of Kong Meng that they were willing to take this risk!
Regardless, Kong Meng had now merged the Mixed Immortal Metal with her Rainbow Divine Light, greatly enhancing her skill and bringing it to the next level.
Shen Tian once again lashed out his Divine Devouring Vine at the Rainbow Divine Light but could no longer create any cracks.
Kong Meng stood there proudly under the glow of the Mixed Divine Light. She stared at Shen Tian with blazing eyes. “Shen Tian, my friend, don’t tell me you can’t hold up anymore?
“I can see that you should still have some reserves. Please remove all your restraints and respect this battle!
“I really wish to see the true peerless lightning art of the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground—the Mixed Divine Lightning!
“After all, eons ago, the sacred ground had once oppressed my people of the Peacock race.
“I really hope to fight the strongest of the strongest!”
Can’t hold on anymore? How could you say that to a man!?
To be honest, Kong Meng’s Rainbow Divine Light mixed with the Immortal Metal was indeed very powerful. Especially since she had merged it with the Mixed Immortal Metal, the material most suitable for the Peacock race’s Rainbow Divine Light.
With the Mixed Immortal Metal supporting the Rainbow Divine Light, its power and defenses had greatly increased, such that it was now nearly indestructible.
At this point, the Rainbow Divine Light had already surrounded Shen Tian from all directions. There was nowhere to escape. If it continued to press closer, there was no way Shen Tian would be able to break out of this barrier!
“In that case, I will not disappoint your wishes.”
Shen Tian took a deep breath, no longer lashing out with his whip.
A golden lightning mark suddenly glowed between his brows.
Streaks of gold-colored lightning surrounded Shen Tian’s entire body, circulating about his four limbs.
Sword energy surged about Shen Tian’s chest area!
Silver-colored Heavy Water flowed about his waist!
Jade-green light flashed about his abdomen area!
The Nan Ming Li Fire blazed over his heart!
While gazing at the golden light engulfing the entire sky, Shen Tian bent his knees slightly in a striking stance.
Golden flames blazed across his body, turning his hair and brows a golden color. His aura was suddenly greatly augmented.
At this point, a surging, tremendous pressure gushed out in all directions.
Everyone stepped back, including Jin Yu, He Wushuang, and the other prodigies from the Feather race.
They were shocked that Shen Tian could exude such a terrifying aura even though he was just at the Foundation Establishment stage!
Just how formidable was this prodigy from the human race’s Divine Firmament Sacred Ground?
Somewhere in the middle of a mountain, a one-meter tall white tortoise was peeking out of the undergrowth. His green eyes swiveled before landing on Shen Tian.
“What a handsome fellow. He is so young but managed to attain the Little Five Elements Yang Divine Lightning Constitution. Not bad for a young kid.
“Now that I am finally awakened, I need to find a servant. This fellow is strong enough. He’s not perfect, but should be more or less worthy enough to tag along behind me!
“Mmm, let’s observe further and consider again!”
After muttering to himself for a bit, the white tortoise burrowed back into the undergrowth and disappeared.
Meanwhile, Shen Tian’s aura remained at peak levels. The flames blazed so strongly that the air wavered and shimmered.
He formed a calyx shape with his hands and held the five-element energy between his palms, which rapidly intensified, becoming increasingly dense and more powerful.
There was no Earth Movement extraordinary item, but it would have been a heaven-defying miracle to see the human body encompass all four types of extraordinary items!
For over 10,000 years, no one had dared to do so for fear of exploding themselves to death.
Shen Tian had previously held three types of extraordinary items in his body, which had been enough to shock Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus.
Now, with this Executing Heaven Sword, although it was just forged from subpar Immortal Metal, its prowess was not below that of pure Immortal Metal.
Supported by four extraordinary items, Shen Tian’s Mixed Lightning Fist was even more powerful now than the previous time at the Sacred Leader Palace!
“Mixed—Lightning—”
Kong Meng acted with integrity. She didn’t sneak in an attack on Shen Tian while he was accumulating his power.
She was also accumulating her own powers, focusing all her energy into the Mixed Divine Light to form the most powerful Divine Light barrier.
This battle would be the first battle between the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground and the Peacock race after so many years.
Would the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground’s invincible Mixed Divine Lightning have more destructive power? Or would the defenses of the Peacock race’s indomitable Rainbow Divine Light be more powerful?
The answer would be revealed at this point!
“—Fist!”
Shen Tian recited the final word of the incantation.
A large golden lightning ball had already been formed between his palms.
The golden lightning ball condensed rapidly, and Shen Tian suddenly extended his palms forward. The lightning ball erupted from his hands!
Instantly, a radiant golden light filled the entire Holy Dragon Valley, and the five Divine Beasts’ avatars could be vaguely seen in the air.
The ferocious waves of golden lightning were like a tsunami gushing toward Kong Meng.
As the golden lightning ball shot through the air, it left a gold-colored arc trailing behind it.
It shot straight toward the golden barrier!
“This is exactly the type of powerful and mighty attack that I was hoping to see!”
Kong Meng no longer had that indifferent and aloof look on her face. Instead, she looked extremely excited and exhilarated.
“You will never break my defenses!”
She rapidly formed the Peacock race’s mysterious and complicated hand seals. Her movements were like butterflies flitting amongst the flowers.
At the same time, the Rainbow Divine Light started to spin, forming a whirlpool-like divine spiral.
The Mixed Divine Light faced off with the Mixed Divine Lightning Fist. This was the battle between the Mixed Five Elements Divine Lightning and the Mixed Five Elements Divine Light.
Boom!
In the end, the powerful attack made contact with the most powerful defense.
A dazzling golden light enveloped the entire Holy Dragon Valley, blinding everyone.
All they could hear were the endless roars of earth-shattering booms!
Inside the valley, pieces of shattered rocks hit the ground. These were the effects of the aftershock created by the clash between those two.
Where else would one see such a high-level battle?
It must be pointed out that this was the Primordial Battlefield. Every mountain was extremely sturdy and immune even to the attacks of a Golden Core Perfected One.
The power behind Shen Tian and Kong Meng’s battle was already comparable to the Nascent Soul stage!
The dazzling golden light started to fade, and the dust started to settle.
Two figures reappeared before the crowd. It was Kong Meng and Shen Tian, of course.
But Kong Meng’s multi-colored outfit was shimmering with streaks of golden lightning.
Her formerly tidy hair was in disarray.
Her formerly pristine face looked slightly darker now.
She opened her mouth and coughed out a thick cloud of black smoke.
“So powerful. So numb. The feeling of touching electricity!”
Kong Meng stared at Shen Tian in a daze. “You actually broke through it!
“You are indeed the Divine Firmament Saint. You were actually able to break my Rainbow Divine Light!
“If not for the protection of my Rainbow Divine Robe, I would never have been able to withstand that attack.”
Shen Tian had the Longyuan Divine Armor to protect him. Kong Meng was the Peacock Princess, so it was natural she would have her own protective armor.
Shen Tian’s Mixed Divine Lightning Fist had shattered the Rainbow Divine Light but was blocked by the Rainbow Divine Robe.
Kong Meng was a person of integrity and would admit when defeated. “You are very powerful. I am very pleased!”
Shen Tian kept silent. He took some Nirvana Holy Liquid out of his Archeon Sea Ring and gulped it down.
Let’s be serious. Did you think this Mixed Divine Lightning Fist could be activated as and when one wished?
He looked rather normal now, but his legs actually felt as soft as jelly!
He would be dead-meat if they continued to fight.
After all, Kong Meng looked rather pathetic now, but it was clear she still had quite a bit of power left in her reserves. Meanwhile, it would be very difficult for Shen Tian to launch another Mixed Divine Lightning Fist so soon after the first.
If they really continued the battle, Shen Tian would have no choice but to take out his Executing Heaven Sword. But that would be a last resort.
To Shen Tian, the Executing Heaven Sword was his most powerful trump card and should not be revealed so easily.
It was better this way. Satisfy Kong Meng and get her to leave. This was the best solution.
Upon seeing that Shen Tian was remaining silent, Kong Meng spoke up again. “Shen Tian, I will remember you!”
After thinking for a second, she added. “Are you interested in becoming the Peacock race’s human partner? If you agree, my race might impart you the Rainbow Divine Light technique. In this way, the Peacock race can form an amicable alliance with the sacred ground!”
Was he interested in becoming the Peacock race’s human partner?
And establish an amicable alliance between the Peacock race and the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground?
Are you kidding? Was the Peacock race so easy-going when it came to finding a partner?
The corners of Jin Yu’s lips twitched at Kong Meng’s words. “Fairy Kong Meng, are you sure that’s alright?”
The Peacock race’s so-called human partner was similar to the Black Dragon Island’s Dragon Knight. It was to cultivate a supreme link between humans and demons. In other words, to sign a contract with the demon race.
This kind of prodigy would be the bridge between humans and demons. It was somewhat like that of a typical country ambassador.
In reality, the human race was the spirit of all things. There had been prior cases of human partners in the various demon races—especially 10,000 years ago when Evil Spirit had infiltrated the great war. Alliances amongst the various human groups and demon races had been quite common back then.
A prodigy from the human race and a prodigy from the demon race, cooperating and signing a contract to cultivate a combined technique. Quite a number of inter-race romances had even blossomed from such partnerships.
But after Evil Spirit had been defeated, the human and demon races had lost their common enemy and started to kill each other again.
As time went by, there had been fewer and fewer alliances.
Jin Yu never expected Kong Meng to suddenly make such an offer.
It’s ridiculous. Does she have no sense of loyalty at all to her own demon race?
Fairy, I invited you over to kill him, okay?
Just because this Saint is powerful enough, you instantly became besotted with him and turned into a fan? Are you for real?
Jin Yu felt like he was going to explode in frustration!
As for Shen Tian, he was also flabbergasted. This was because he had no idea what a human partner for the Peacock race was.
But he could learn the Rainbow Divine Light if he became the Peacock race’s human partner?
A Peacock Knight? To be honest, Shen Tian was somewhat tempted!
After all, Shen Tian had experienced that Rainbow Divine Light. It was indeed a very powerful defensive measure.
This kind of almighty life-saving technique was Shen Tian’s favorite!
Just as Shen Tian was secretly contemplating the offer, he suddenly felt the black dragon egg behind him vibrate slightly.
Following that, the dragon egg suddenly felt heavier.
A childish female voice echoed angrily in Shen Tian’s mind.
“Punk, I forbid you to sign a contract with this wrench!”
