Chapter 468 - 467: Kunpeng Ancestor Strikes

Chapter 468: Chapter 467: Kunpeng Ancestor Strikes

The crack in the Seal on the Sealing Demon Platform was repaired.

In addition, Array Patterns intertwined on the Five Elements Array Pillars, forming a Yin Yang Vortex in the sky above the Sealing Demon Platform.

The vortex churned, connecting to the world outside the North Spirit Ruins.

In that instant, the Five Elements Power of the world was drawn toward it.

"The Array Power is activating!" Seeing this, a gleam flashed in Ling Fei’s eyes.

"Legend says the Kunpeng Ancestor was suppressed by the Ancient Human Emperor. Although the Human Emperor is gone, a sliver of his True Spirit remains within the Array. It looks like his True Spirit is making a move now, trying to suppress the Kunpeng Ancestor with all its might!" Lian Shuang gazed up into the Void. Seeing the sudden appearance of the Yin Yang Vortex, she felt an unexpected surge of joy.

If the Ancient Human Emperor himself was taking action, perhaps there was still a chance to suppress the Kunpeng Ancestor.

’The Ancient Human Emperor?’ Ling Fei’s gaze sharpened, and he couldn’t help but feel a flicker of hope.

He had already burned a portion of his Divine Soul Power and was utterly exhausted. With his current strength, he was powerless to change the situation.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

Majestic Power of Heaven and Earth poured into the Sealing Demon Platform through the vortex, causing the Array Power to gradually increase.

’Using the Grand Yin Yang Five Elements Array to draw upon the Power of Heaven and Earth and reinforce the Seal?’ As the Array activated, the Kunpeng Ancestor, who was in the middle of condensing Kunpeng Essence Qi, let out a cold sneer. "It’s a pity. I have already escaped with a sliver of my Split Soul. It’s too late for you to reinforce the Seal now."

As his deep voice echoed, the Kunpeng’s Split Soul swept a giant wing. Below, Xu Zitao’s fallen Kunpeng Sword was pulled into the air.

’The Kunpeng Sword... forged from the bones of my Kunpeng Race’s descendants. It should be able to merge with my Power.’ As the sword flew to him, the Kunpeng Ancestor nodded slightly. His body then flashed, transforming into a wisp of dark light that shot into the Kunpeng Sword. Instantly, the sword erupted with brilliant light.

The engravings on the sword swirled with light, pulsing with terrifying Kunpeng Power.

At this moment, the Power within the sword had been completely unleashed. It was on a level far beyond anything Xu Zitao could have hoped to achieve.

’Such Power... What Realm must one reach to wield it?’ As the Power erupted from the Kunpeng Sword, Shangguan Wan’Er’s heart trembled in the distance. She suddenly found it incredibly difficult to breathe. The sword itself was a Treasure Sword, surpassing even Celestial Spiritual Treasures.

Now that a sliver of the Kunpeng Ancestor’s Split Soul had entered it, controlling the sword with its immense Divine Soul Power, how could any ordinary person possibly compare?

After all, the aura from even a sliver of the Kunpeng Ancestor’s Split Soul was more terrifying than that of a Divine Mansion Realm expert!

"Xu Zitao already cracked the Seal. Now that the Kunpeng Ancestor is acting personally, I’m afraid it’s really going to be destroyed," Lian Shuang said with a sigh.

If the Array Platform was destroyed, the restraints on the Kunpeng Ancestor’s true body would naturally weaken.

Then, it would have a much better chance of breaking free and escaping its confinement.

"Who can stop it now? The Ancient Human Emperor?" Ling Fei muttered.

Even he felt powerless now.

He raised his head and stared at the Sealing Demon Platform, hoping for a miracle.

Ling Fei wasn’t the only one; on the North Spirit Platform, others were also watching the events unfold.

"We’re finished! The Kunpeng Ancestor is going to break the Seal himself!"

"The Kunpeng Ancestor is about to emerge, and Beiming Transformation Sea is here... most of us are going to die here!" Cries of despair rang out across the North Spirit Platform.

They desperately wanted to escape, but the North Spirit Platform was enveloped by an Array.

It was an Array set up by Beiming Transformation Sea and the members of the Corpse Spirit Hall specifically to trap and kill the people from the various sects on the North Spirit Platform.

Once these people were dead, dealing with the other Cultivators in the Southern Wilderness would be much easier.

"Haha, the Kunpeng Ancestor is about to make his move! In that case, you can all just surrender your lives!" Beiming Transformation Sea, who was in the middle of his attack, also saw the scene unfolding within the North Spirit Stele. The Stele was now blooming with an astonishing power as the Five Elements Power circulated, deflecting the shockwaves of their battle.

Although Beiming Transformation Sea and his allies were powerful, they still couldn’t break through the Array Patterns on the North Spirit Stele.

When the three experts from the Corpse Spirit Hall saw the Kunpeng Ancestor’s Split Soul merge with the Kunpeng Sword and erupt with immense power, wicked smiles spread across their faces. "Well then, let’s finish these guys off in one fell swoop!" a hoarse voice rasped. Devouring Spirit Corpse Qi began to billow from their three Weapons.

The Devouring Spirit Corpse Qi surged out like a vast ocean. As it shattered the Divine Techniques of Master Xuan Ji, Yuan Huaitian, and the others, it seized the opportunity to invade their bodies.

Under the corrosion of the Devouring Spirit Corpse Qi, the three experts’ strength plummeted.

"We’ll give it our all!"

"Burn our Power of Origin!" As their auras weakened, the three experts exchanged a look and began to burn their Power of Origin, unleashing everything they had.

By doing so, all three erupted with astonishing combat strength, managing to hold back Beiming Transformation Sea and his cohorts.

Meanwhile, before the Sealing Demon Platform, the Kunpeng Sword flashed and transformed into a Sword Rainbow, slashing toward one of the Array Pillars.

’As long as I destroy one Array Pillar, the Array Power will fail. Then, my true body will be able to escape.’

As the Kunpeng Sword slashed down, the Kunpeng Ancestor controlling it was beside himself with excitement.

He had been sealed away for too long—so long that he no longer knew if it had been for millennia or tens of thousands of years.

He never wanted to live like this again. He, Kun Yi, swore he would soar to the Nine Heavens and become the overlord of this land.

Just as the Kunpeng Sword was about to strike, a Light Pattern on the Sealing Demon Platform flashed, and a valiant, heroic man dressed in white suddenly appeared.

This man was none other than the manifestation of a sliver of Emperor Xi’s True Spirit.

The moment Emperor Xi’s True Spirit appeared, he flicked his finger, sending a beam of light shooting toward the Kunpeng Sword.

BANG!

The beam of light was unstoppable, striking the Kunpeng Sword and sending it flying.

As the Kunpeng Sword was knocked away, the figure of the Kunpeng Ancestor emerged from it.

"Emperor Xi, do you really think you can still trap me?" the Kunpeng Ancestor roared, his eyes filled with savagery. "Every time you strike, you lose a sliver of your True Spirit Power. But my Divine Soul is whole, and my Soul Power is endless! I can simply wear you down until you’re nothing! Let’s see you try to stop my return to this world!"

With that, he once again commanded the Kunpeng Sword to slash forward.

Emperor Xi, his bearing as elegant as jade, simply waved a hand and swatted forward.

BANG!

The Kunpeng Sword was knocked away again, but Emperor Xi still couldn’t injure the Kunpeng Ancestor.

Furthermore, each time the Kunpeng Ancestor was knocked back, he frantically absorbed the residual Kunpeng Essence Qi in the area.

This was Essence Qi that he himself had leaked long ago, and absorbing it now allowed him to recover his strength.

But Emperor Xi was only a True Spirit hidden within the Array. Although he could draw upon the Power of Heaven and Earth to replenish himself, he could not avoid consuming his True Spirit Power. Even the most imperceptible loss would have dire consequences for him, because deep within the Array, the Kunpeng Ancestor’s true body was still relentlessly trying to break free.

Yet, Emperor Xi remained calm. His gaze held a commanding presence, as if he could control Heaven and Earth themselves.

After swatting the Kunpeng Sword away with another palm, his gaze shifted, his eyes landing on Ling Fei, who stood on the long bridge.

As his gaze rested on Ling Fei, the corners of his mouth curved into a faint smile.

"This..." When Ling Fei saw the Ancient Human Emperor suddenly look at him, waves of shock crashed through him, leaving him utterly stunned.

Ling Fei had already been deeply shaken by Emperor Xi’s display of power.

’But why,’ he wondered, ’is the Human Emperor looking at me?’
