Book 6: Chapter 082: Kong Xuan’s Shock and Anger
Peacock Deity Hall:
As Kong Xuan refined the peacock deity, he sank his consciousness into his body, so he did not hear the thunderous battles outside the hall.
This continued for a few days until he finished refining the large peacock deity.
Kong Xuan’s consciousness slowly returned. Of course, he could return to his senses if grave danger befell him; however, no danger did over the past few days.
“Ah!”
“Save me!”
“Treacherous villain! Are you trying to destroy my peacock race? I’ll fight to the end!”
“Be careful! That peacock elder is going to self-detonate!”
Boom!
Chaotic noise came from the outside.
Kong Xuan stood up and frowned slightly. However, he did not go out immediately. Instead, he looked at the old Peacock Prime lying there. The old man had breathed his last, but his eyes remained open.
“Dying with opened eyes?” Kong Xuan frowned slightly.
[TL Note: The Chinese believed that if one died with eyes opened, it meant that one had regrets or unresolved issues and did not pass on in peace.]
The violent sounds from outside grew louder.
Kong Xuan waved his hand and ripped off the hall’s door.
A layer of five-colored divine light shielded the door, clearly intended for Kong Xuan’s protection while he remained in closed-door cultivation and to prevent interruption.
However, there seemed to be a scene out of the asura hell beyond the five-colored light.
Boundless blue flames burned the surroundings. Countless peacocks struggled in the blue flames. Some of the strong peacocks could resist the blue flames but not the ferocious beasts, which quickly ripped them apart.
“Blue flames? The Cyclic Star Ritual Array? How can this be? It was the Solar Divine Palace that destroyed the peacock race?” Kong Xuan’s expression suddenly changed.
After all, Kong Xuan had sworn absolute loyalty to the Solar Divine Palace eight hundred thousand years ago. Furthermore, the Cyclic Star Ritual Array was one of the Solar Divine Palace’s foundations. Could it be that the Supreme Singularity, whom I was the most loyal to, was the mastermind behind the peacock race’s destruction?
“Kong Xuan, quickly flee! Quickly flee!” someone shouted outside.
It was one of the peacock race elders. This blood-covered elder was pursued by a wolf spirit. While that elder disagreed with the old prime’s decision, the peacock race’s inheritance was at stake, so he did not hesitate to stand on Kong Xuan’s side.
Perhaps that elder’s shout caught the attention of the wolf spirit, but that wolf spirit turned its head and saw Kong Xuan. Then, it pounced over with a ferocious expression.
“No!” That elder’s expression changed. He immediately rushed in front of Kong Xuan to block the wolf spirit.
Boom!
The wolf spirit claw struck and tore the elder’s chest, looking like it would rip that elder apart.
That elder showed despair on his face. However, he helped Kong Xuan avoid a blow right before his death, so he did not feel any regrets. Kong Xuan had the peacock deity; he was the future peacock race prime. As long as he remained, the peacock race could turn things around.
Thud!
Right before that elder got torn apart, a loud report came from that elder’s chest. The wolf spirit’s claw had stopped cold. A hand covered in a boundless black aura had caught the wolf claw, preventing it from moving. No matter how hard the wolf spirit pulled or squirmed, it could not move its claw at all.
“Roar! Let go of me!” The wolf spirit’s expression changed in realization that it had met with a difficult opponent.
“You!” That elder gazed at Kong Xuan in shock.
“Rest at the side. I’m here!” Kong Xuan sighed softly.
Whoosh!
Kong Xuan’s five-colored divine light tore the wolf spirit to pieces.
Crushing an Upper Heavenly Palace Realm cultivator with one light?
This is simply too strong. He is not even on the same level. Since when did such a powerful person appear in the peacock race?
“Yes!” That severely injured elder retreated as tears flowed down his face.
Peacock Deity Island was like a scene right out of hell. The peacock race looked like it would be destroyed. Who would dare to cause trouble in the peacock race when the prime was alive? Now…
Kong Xuan seems very strong. That elder saw some hope, and excitement stirred in his heart.
Kong Xuan turned his head skyward.
Three hundred sixty-one stars flickered in the sky. Many animal spirit kings were clearly controlling the stars, laying the Cyclic Star Ritual Array.
The Cyclic Star Ritual Array? Kong Xuan had led it eight hundred thousand years later.
Coo!
Kong Xuan let out a ferocious cry and turned into a beam of light shooting into the sky, rushing at the source of the Cyclic Star Ritual Array.
Boom!
Moving extremely rapidly, Kong Xuan arrived in the sky in an instant.
“Be careful! A tough one is coming!”
“The Palm of the Stars! Hurry!”
The animal spirit kings above roared furiously. The Cyclic Star Ritual Array spun, and a gigantic blue palm descended from the sky, trying to grab Kong Xuan.
“The Palm of the Stars? Your understanding is quite superficial!” Kong Xuan snarled.
Whoosh!
Five-colored divine light soared up, looking like a monstrous whip lashing at the blue palm.
A loud report rang out as the divine light whip struck the weakest point of the Palm of the Stars. Kong Xuan knew about that weakness.
Boom!
Another loud report rang out as the gigantic Palm of the Stars exploded.
“What?” The surrounding animal spirit kings’ expressions changed.
The Supreme Singularity’s expression also changed. He had been watching coldly from below.
“Huh? Who is it?” The Supreme Singularity’s pupils constricted.
Coo!
Kong Xuan had already reached the starry sky. His figure transformed into a ten-kilometer-long peacock.
“What?” All the animal spirit kings’ expressions changed.
“Ten kilometers? Ten kilometers? How can this be?” The Supreme Singularity’s expression changed.
The peacock race experts felt shocked at first. Then, their faces revealed wild joy.
“Ten kilometers? Prime was ten kilometers too. Who is this peacock? Who is he? Why is he ten kilometers?!”
“Hahahaha! My peacock race will not go extinct. We still have powerhouses!”
“We are saved! We are saved!”
The peacocks were ecstatic.
“This is the new prime that the old prime appointed. He is the old prime’s descendant! He is the new prime of my peacock race! Prime!” an elder roared.
“Prime?” The eyes of countless peacocks lit up.𝚏𝘳e𝒆𝘄𝒆𝗯𝑛𝒐vel.c𝙤𝒎
The old prime’s descendant?
All the peacocks perked up from their earlier despair.
The peacocks would not go extinct; the prime was unrivaled.
Coo!
Kong Xuan had already arrived in the sky. After transforming into a ten-kilometer-long peacock, it erupted with a boundless demonic aura, dyeing the entire sky black.
“Oh no! He knows the weakness of the Cyclic Star Ritual Array. He is coming in! Ah! Save me! Hurry!”
Whoosh!
The Cyclic Star Ritual Array could not stop Kong Xuan. It quickly entered, then sucked and swallowed the animal spirit king on one of the stars.
“You bastard!” The Supreme Singularity’s expression changed.
The Supreme Singularity flapped its wings and soared into the sky.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The five-colored divine light was like a chain in the sky. Everywhere it reached, the stars exploded.
Countless animal spirit kings fled in horror.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Black winds blew, pulling the animal spirit kings into Kong Xuan’s stomach.
A demonic aura surged out, and the divine light struck down. As Kong Xuan displayed its might in the sky, the Cyclic Star Ritual Array crumbled. However, Kong Xuan did not relent.
Consume! Consume! Consume!
Numerous animal spirit kings entered Kong Xuan’s stomach.
“Stop!” the Supreme Singularity roared fiercely.
The Supreme Singularity had put a lot of effort into recruiting those animal spirit kings. However, this peacock swallowed them.
The peacocks and animal spirits fighting below felt confused.
“The new prime has such a strong demonic nature?”
“Why do I feel that the new prime is even more ferocious than the old prime?”
“He does not have the six-colored divine light, only five colors, and he is already unrivaled?”
“New Prime! Prime!”
The peacock race felt incredibly excited.
As Kong Xuan consumed more and more animal spirit kings, the Supreme Singularity approached.
Caw!
With a loud cry, the golden crow shot a beam of golden light at Kong Xuan.
“Solar True Flame light? Humph! Five-colored divine light!” Kong Xuan roared ferociously.
Boom!
The two lights clashed in the sky, a small hole in space ripping open where they clashed.
“Who are you? The peacock race does not have anyone like you. Overwhelming demonic aura? Who are you?” the Supreme Singalurity demanded fiercely.
The demonic-aura-clad Kong Xuan paused and narrowed its eyes at the Supreme Singularity.
Eight hundred thousand years later, this was the person it admired the most. It could even die for this person. Back then, when the Supreme Singularity wanted to kill it, it had not felt much resentment as it had admired this person.
Why did Kong Xuan admire the Supreme Singularity? It recalled that the peacock race nearly got wiped out when it was young. It was the Supreme Singularity who saved the peacock race and rescued Kong Xuan.
The current events completely overturned Kong Xuan’s memories. I might have been tricked when I was young. The Supreme Singularity had set that up on purpose?
“Supreme Singularity, why do you want to destroy the peacock race?” Kong Xuan roared ferociously with hatred on its face.
The Supreme Singularity had already opened hostilities with the peacock race, so it had nothing to worry about.
“Humph! I don’t care who you are. With such strength, you have to die! This monarch wants to rule all the animal spirits in the world. The peacock race refuses to submit, so it has to be eliminated from the world. Humph! Also, that super peacock deity? What a troublemaker! That old thing just died, and another powerful peacock appears? A super peacock deity appears every ten thousand years? Indeed, I cannot let the peacocks remain and grow. I cannot spare anyone. I have to eliminate you all!” the Supreme Singularity said savagely.
“You are afraid of the super peacock deity? That’s why you want to kill everyone?” Kong Xuan said ferociously.
“Afraid? I would be afraid?” The Supreme Singularity’s face sank. Clearly, while it feared the super peacock deity, it refused to lose face here.
“Since you said that, I shall keep a small tribe of peacocks. I will slowly raise them and nurture their loyalty to me. I will study the reason for the super peacock deity’s appearance. Haha! Hahahaha! The trick to the super peacock deity’s appearance will someday become mine! However, your Peacock Deity Island no longer needs to exist! There’s you too! You consumed so many of my subordinates, so you must die today!” the Supreme Singularity said savagely.
“So, that’s the case! So, that’s the case! Hahahahaha! I was stupid! I was truly stupid. To think that I swore loyalty to you! So…so…I was just a lackey? Killing my entire race? No! It seems you also killed my parents? Back then, my father swore loyalty to you. In the end…Hah! Hahahahaha!” Kong Xuan’s eyes turned bloodshot once more.
“Loyal to me?” The Supreme Singularity appeared somewhat confused.
“Now, I no longer miss those days. Supreme Singularity, I will take revenge for the peacock race! I will kill you! Roar!” Kong Xuan roared ferociously.
Boom!
The two powerful birds started fighting.
