Chapter 467: Dominating!
Cold sweat burst out of Peng Jinyi's forehead, and he thought, His strength has increased so much, but he is still weaker than me in arcane energy. My arcane energy is stronger than his, and if he casts the Golden Feathery Peng Sword, I can suppress him with the arcane energy, snatch and then kill him with it.
He then calmed down. Indeed, although Zhong Yue was strong, he was still just a Heavenly Dharma cultivator, while Peng Jinyi was a True Spirit magnate, a full level higher. His spirit was also in the True Spirit state, so of course, his arcane energy would be stronger than Zhong Yue.
The Kun Peng Celestial Race had inherently powerful and abundant arcane energy, and Peng Jinyi was exceptional gifted among them when it came to arcane energy.
It seems like, I can't let you live any longer anymore!
Peng Jinyi placed his hands on his back and sneered coldly at Zhong Yue, "Zhong Shan Clan boy, you are truly fortunate. You have escaped death all the way from the Ancestral Star to here, but your fate will always arrive no matter what you do. In the Returning Ruins, you can't fly, and so you can't run, there is simply no way for you to escape. It's time, brat, it's time to send you to your death and reclaim the great saint weapon of my Kun Peng Celestial Race!"
Zhong Yue was puzzled, Peng Jinyi was clearly terrified a second ago, but now, his demeanor underwent a complete one-eighty.
What the... but it doesn't look like he can do that. Unless he has also cultivated the Inner Core level again and has cultivated the Nine Revolving Inner Core. But that's impossible as well. Even with the help of so many divine weapons, I'm still only at the eighth revolution, he can't be cultivating faster than me, can he? Zhong Yue pondered.
He doesn't really have the confidence to kill me, he's just bluffing! Otherwise, he wouldn't have ambushed Su Wuji, but me! Peng Jinyi saw the changes of Zhong Yue's facial expression and grew even more confident as he strode toward Zhong Yue while thinking, He has ambushed Su Wuji, because he wants to infuse the wrong idea into my heart, making me to think that I can't defeat him.
Krong——
Peng Jinyi then surged out his arcane energy and pushed forward. Immediately, an ocean of raging tidal waves were visualized and crashed down onto Zhong Yue.
At the same time, Peng Jinyi's hands turned into the golden Peng's sharp claws and furtively struck toward Zhong Yue within the billowing ocean.
Shua, shua, shua——
He also spanned his wings out, blasting the golden feathers like swords, shooting through the raging waves as they thrust at Zhong Yue.
Not only that, but there was still a divine weapon flying out from Peng Jinyi's light wheels on the back. It was a statue of a human-faced bird, which turned alive after Peng Jinyi cast it out. It turned into a human-faced bird celestial being, engulfed with godly aura as it pounced down at Zhong Yue.
This wasn't Peng Jinyi's soul weapon, it was a treasure he stole with Peng Qianqiu from a Kun Lun Qi Practitioner.
As this divine weapon was also a bird-like weapon, it was similar to the Kun Peng soul weapons and thus, Peng Jinyi was able to roughly refine it for use in the battles.
Is Peng Jinyi really at the same level as the young gods already? Zhong Yue thought as his heart stiffened up. He didn't dare to underestimate the Kun Peng magnate's prowess and so cast out the[Celestial Demon Tai Chi Art]as well.
The sun was blazing hot, and the moon was icy cold. The both of them rose and fell rhythmically. Arms extruded out from Zhong Yue's body, and he pushed all eight hands forward with incredible force.
A young god of the True Spirit level, I can't possibly be a match for someone at that stage. Going all out is all I can do!
Wong——
The[Celestial Demon Yi]blasted out from his hands, and eight instances of the[Celestial Demon Yi]struck at Peng Jinyi's incoming attacks.
The six wheels behind him revolved as well, and the Kui Long Divine Drum thrummed against the human-faced bird celestial being. The two divine weapons clashed, and the impact extended out from the center of the battlefield.
A split second right after the divine weapons clashed, Zhong Yue and Peng Jinyi clashed together as well.
Hua-la——
The raging ocean was sucked into the eight[Celestial Demon Yi], disappearing in just the blink of an eye. The same went for the golden feathers, and soon, Peng Jinyi was left with only a pair of featherless wings.
Peng Jinyi's claws were broken by the[Celestial Demon Tai Chi Art]as well, sounds of bones cracking and muscles tweaking could be heard.
This... he isn't really that strong... what's his play here? While Zhong Yue was zoning out in the middle of the battle, Peng Jinyi shouted in pain and quickly pulled his hand out from the[Celestial Demon Tai Chi Art]and found that his hands were only left with their bones.
Then, the divine weapon above them were also finished as well. The human-faced celestial bird was struck back into the statue form and fell from the sky.
"[Kun Peng Flickering Tail]!"
Peng Jinyi's body morphed into a huge fish and swung his huge tail on Zhong Yue's body.
Dang——
A loud and clear sound of a bell ringing reverberated the air as the[Shao Hao Bell] emerged out of Zhong Yue's body and blocked the strike. He then took a step forward and pushed the eight[Celestial Demon Yi]forward in great force.
Krong, krong, krong——
Peng Jinyi was then sent flying out for a few thousand feet, crashing into the soil.
Zhong Yue strode forward and asked in puzzlement, "Peng Jinyi... is it me that grew stronger or you that grew weaker? Why are you so weak now?"
Peng Jinyi leaped up from the ground and spurted out a mouthful of blood, he immediately turned and bolted away without saying a word.
This brat... his arcane energy... how the hell did he cultivate it? Peng Jinyi was still running away in anger and embarrassment while he thought, What's even more shitty is that he never even used the Golden Feathery Peng Sword... Isn't his cultivation progress a little too fast?
On the other end of the battlefield, Kua Fuding was puzzled as well, This brat's arcane energy and prowess is way stronger than before, how did he do that?
He had fought with Zhong Yue before and their battle ended with a stalemate.
But with the strength Zhong Yue was showing now, he was definitely weaker than Zhong Yue.
Within such a short span of time, how was it possible for Zhong Yue to increase his power by so much?
Why is Peng Jinyi so weak? At the center of attention, Zhong Yue was still wondering.
Peng Jinyi seemed so weak today, he felt that he could've killed him easily. Previously, Peng Jinyi was definitely a formidable opponent, with the forms of the thousand miles huge Peng and thousand miles great Kun, even Zhong Yue would have to run for his life.
That was why Zhong Yue ran all the way from the Ancestral Star to Kun Lun. The entire ordeal was harrowing to say the least, and he had to pull out all the stops just to get them off his back.
Yet now, Zhong yue was able to bring Peng Jinyi to his knees. The Kun Peng magnate now seemed so weak that his only option seemed to be running for his life.
In fact, this was because of the medicinal efficacy of the Six Paths Fruit and his attainments in the Six Paths Wheels. It was only Zhong Yue himself who was oblivious of his sudden increase in strength.
The only thing he knew was that he had consumed the Six Paths Fruit, but he knew nothing of just how strong his attainments into the Six Paths Wheel of Reincarnation Saint Monarch were.
It wasn't Peng Jinyi that had become weak, it was him who grew stronger.
The six light wheels on his back were operating in the same way the Six Paths Reincarnation was, The Pan Gu God in his Dao Yi Secret Realm interfaced with the other Yuan Shen secret realms to form a cohesive unit. Dao Yi, Yin Yang, Shen Cai, Wan Xiang, Wu Xing, and Bloodline — all six secret realms had become into one consolidated body.
The changes in the six secret realms holistically bolstered every aspect of his power. His strength increased, his arcane energy became more abundant, and his battle prowess elevated as well. In the same cultivation level of Heavenly Dharma, the strong experts would be able to utilize a hundred percent of their full prowess but Zhong Yue was effectively capable of utilizing the bringing out an equivalent of 140 percent of his power.
This was the true benefit that the Six Paths Fruit and Six Paths Wheel brought him.
"Senior Jinyi, don't run. Come, let's have a real fight, we will battle till the last drop of blood!", Zhong Yue then followed behind the Kun Peng magnate while shouting happily.
He had been hunted by Peng Jinyi for way too long; and it was time for him to repay the favor.
Peng Jinyi was running away with incredible speed, trying his best to ignore the temptation of the Peach Garden.
Zhong Yue glanced around and saw a young cultivator surrounded by many experts. The young man had eight heads, eight arms, and eight legs, Zhong Yue saw him and was startled, Is that little tiger Tian Yi and the others...?"
The thought didn't linger long in his mind as he quickly raised the Kui Long Divine Drum, punching the drum head and releasing a cacophonous sound wave that struck at the demon experts.
The voices rammed on a demon expert, pushing him out of the formation, created an opening.
Zhong Yue then kept the Kui Long Divine Drum away and continued hunting after Peng Jinyi.
Immediately, the young cultivator seized the fleeting opportunity and bolted out, following Zhong Yue's trail.
The demon experts also swarmed over and were shouting in anger, "Don't run, hand over the peaches to us!"
Zhong Yue mustered his strength and chased after Peng Jinyi. He was closing the distance to the Kun Peng magnate as he thought, Peng Jinyi is really weak now, and his speed is slower than mine...
Suddenly, the sounds of ladies engaged in battle could be heard, and a familiar voice among them attracted Zhong Yue's attention. He looked over and saw a demon lady, Chi Qing, Qi Lianfeng, and some other Qi Practitioners. And the voice he heard was precisely that of Chi Xue's, who was surrounded in the middle.
That demon lady was strong and powerful, even stronger than Chi Qing. She was on par with Chi Xue, while Qi Lianfeng was a True Spirit magante, an expert on the level of young gods.
Needless to say, Chi Xue was in great danger.
The battle started because the demon lady, Fu Tixiang, somehow knew that Chi Xue had acquired a Peach of Immortality. Thus, she joined hands with Chi Qing, Qi Lianfeng, and the others in order to snatch to try and snatch it from Chi Xue.
Zhong Yue then diverted his course and into the center of the battlefield with the[Shao Hao Bell]to shield himself and Chi Xue from the surrounding onslaught.
Seeing support arriving, the crowd didn't even say a word and immediately blasted their skills and weapons at the[Shao Hao Bell].
Criang——
The[Shao Hao Bell]was shattered by the many skills, but Zhong Yue was now holding the Kui Long Divine Drum with one hand. He blocked the skills with the divine drum, and immediately, as the skills rammed on the drum, a din of dissonant soundwaves blasted on the Qi Practitioners. They were struck a slight spell of dizziness, and they were shocked by the sudden development of situation. While in that split second of inattention, Zhong Yue brought Chi Xue out of danger.
"Who is that... just how strong is he?" Fu Tixiang mumbled in shock as she watched Zhong Yue carry Chi Xue and away at great speed.
"Darling, since when did you get so strong?" Chi Xue was shocked and overjoyed, but she didn't forget to engage in her usual flirting.
Zhong Yue couldn't even answer her as Fu Tixiang and the others were chasing behind them, with the young cultivator he saved before and another bunch of demon cultivators close behind them.
At the front, Zhong Yue was still tracking down Peng Jinyi. Seeing that Zhong Yue was getting closer, the Kun Peng magnate lamented bitterly in his heart.
Suddenly, his eyes brightened up as he quickly shouted, "Qianqiu, save me!"
Peng Qianqiu, Shang Qing, the Xuan Wu celestial being, and some other Qi Practitioners were locked in a battle, and as soon as Peng Qianqiu heard the call for help, he looked over. Immediately, Peng Qianqiu was angered, and he strode forward in rescue and sneered at Zhong Yue and Chi Qing, "Two against one? How dare you even claim yourself as cultivators! Jinyi, let's kill these two brats!"
"No, no, no, no, no!", Peng Jinyi shouted out loud as he watched his brother flashed past him and went head on toward Zhong Yue.
"What do you mean no?" Peng Qianqiu asking in puzzle.
