Chapter 559: Chapter 558: Heavenly Retribution

"This man’s aura makes him seem like he’s not of this world," Ling Fei said in a low voice.

SWISH!

Just then, the man’s eyes flashed. A dark light flared within them, transforming into one of Kunpeng’s Wings that slashed toward the Holy Stone Spirit’s finger.

"Kun Shaohan, you dare send a wisp of your Divine Soul into the world?" When the man appeared, the Holy Stone Spirit’s gaze turned icy, its expression grave. The Stone Patterns on its outstretched finger blossomed, transforming into a hazy world. That region seemed to be severed from everything else, causing space itself to fracture.

BANG!

The Kunpeng’s Wings slashed down, but it struck nothing but air.

"Turning substance into void... I didn’t expect that after so many years, your Realm has improved again. You’re about to take that final step!"

Surprise flickered in Kun Shaohan’s eyes as his strike missed its mark.

"Kun Shaohan!"

"Isn’t that an Ancient Divine Spirit from the Kunpeng Race?" When the man appeared, the faces of the Grand Elder and the others grew grim.

This was a figure from Ancient Times with heaven-shattering Power. His appearance struck terror into everyone’s hearts.

’An Ancient Divine Spirit!’ Ling Fei’s eyes flashed, and he couldn’t help but take another look at the man in the Void before him.

Kun Shaohan appeared quite young, perhaps only thirty years old. Yet, as he stood with his hands clasped behind him, a dark sea roiled in the Void at his back, as if an entire world were taking shape. He had a graceful, otherworldly air, but his presence was overwhelming. The sharp light of his imperious gaze shattered the Void wherever it passed.

"The Kun Ancestor has acted!" Seeing this, the members of the Kunpeng Race were ecstatic.

This was especially true for the Elder who had been on the verge of being killed by the Holy Stone Spirit. The Kun Ancestor’s intervention had saved him.

"Haha, now that the Kun Ancestor has acted, who can possibly contend with him?" this Elder cried out.

Kun Shaohan was a prodigy of Ancient Times, a dazzling figure even in his own era.

His appearance immediately restored the confidence of the Kunpeng Race.

At this moment, Kun Shaohan turned his imperious gaze toward Little Shi Tou.

"His Stone Patterns are a gift of nature. To have condensed such perfect Stone Patterns at his age... he is indeed a prodigy of stunning talent. But he has yet to mature, and his life could be cut short. Shouldn’t your Stone Race be hiding its strength and biding its time?" Kun Shaohan said, his gaze imperious.

He had seen through Little Shi Tou’s innate talent with a single glance.

A cold sneer formed on his lips as he strode forward.

’Does this old fiend intend to strike, to cut down Little Shi Tou?’ At these words, the Grand Elder’s brow furrowed deeply.

If their opponent’s Divine Spirit was truly determined, stopping him would be incredibly difficult.

"Biding our time? My Stone Race has never feared anyone!" The Holy Stone Spirit’s voice was ethereal. With a transcendent air, he strode forward, positioning himself in the Void to block Kun Shaohan’s path.

"Heh, you seem quite confident. Very well, I’ll play along!" Kun Shaohan chuckled and pointed a finger into the Void.

WENG!

As he pointed, a dark light burst forth, manifesting a gloomy, sprawling world that descended directly upon the Holy Stone Spirit.

Within this world, the Nether Sea roiled as a Kunpeng soared forth. Its wings became sharp blades, slashing toward the Holy Stone Spirit.

’Creating a world with a single finger!’ Ling Fei’s eyes flashed at the sight. ’A technique like that is truly astounding. It completely surpasses ordinary Divine Techniques.’

The Holy Stone Spirit remained impassive and retaliated. He threw a punch, unleashing a hazy radiance that seemed to form its own world. The immense Power shattered the Void in its path and roiled the Nether Sea. His fist then slammed viciously into the Kunpeng. The creature was smashed to pieces, and the Nether Sea collapsed in its wake.

WHOOSH!

A vast shockwave swept out, crumbling mountains and cracking the earth wherever it passed.

"It seems you’re really about to take that final step!" Kun Shaohan’s gaze sharpened, and he then said, "Come! Let’s fight in the skies above!"

Immediately, his body flashed, transforming into a streak of dark light that tore through the Void and flew high into the sky.

The Holy Stone Spirit followed.

BANG, BANG!

Soon, a great battle erupted in the distant sky. The Holy Stone Spirit and Kun Shaohan clashed, and the resulting shockwaves were terrifying enough to make one’s soul tremble.

The members of the Kunpeng Race all looked up toward the Void.

But at this moment, they didn’t dare to make a move on Little Shi Tou anymore.

Who knew if some other terrifying entity from the Stone Race might suddenly appear.

"These guys are completely insane!"

"Aren’t they afraid of Celestial Punishment?" As the Spirit Bodies of the Holy Stone Spirit and Kun Shaohan fought, the terrifying shockwaves swept in all directions, making even the warring Heaven-Reaching Realm experts from the various clans shudder in fear. This land forbade the use of excessive Power. Once such Power was detected, Celestial Punishment would descend.

Although Kun Shaohan was only a Spirit Body with most of his true Power suppressed, he was still an Ancient Divine Spirit. It would be easy for something to go wrong.

But the Holy Stone Spirit fought with all its might, utterly fearless. On the contrary, it grew fiercer the longer it fought, as if testing the Mystical insights it had recently gained.

Its Divine Techniques grew more and more refined.

"Trying to use my strength to perfect your Divine Techniques? Then let’s end this fight!" Kun Shaohan realized what was happening. With a flash in his eyes, he transformed into a Kunpeng and charged at the Holy Stone Spirit, clearly intending to deny it any further opportunity to test its powers.

"Heh, you’re just a mere Spirit Body without Divine Power. You think defeating me will be so easy?" The Holy Stone Spirit laughed heartily. The Stone Patterns in the Void around it blossomed, forming a hazy world that directly trapped the Kunpeng. Its own body, however, flashed and vanished from the spot.

BANG!

Within that hazy space, the Kunpeng’s wings flashed, tearing the dimension apart.

"A domain like the heavens... it seems you have truly touched upon this Realm." Kun Shaohan’s gaze was icy, filled with killing intent.

But more than anything, he felt helpless.

Because the Holy Stone Spirit was also just a Spirit Body at this moment.

Furthermore, it was impossible for Kun Shaohan to enter the Stone Race’s territory to kill it.

The Stone Race also had ancient experts, so he could only watch helplessly as a new top-tier master emerged among them.

Just as killing intent flared in Kun Shaohan’s eyes, the Holy Stone Spirit flickered and shot toward the Kunpeng Race’s territory.

"Although I can’t kill your true body, destroying these two Spirit Bodies of yours will still greatly damage your Essence Qi." Kun Shaohan’s gaze was icy.

He immediately swept his wings, tearing through the sky and quickly catching up to the Holy Stone Spirit.

This time, he attacked with his full might, transforming into a Giant Kun a thousand li long. Its massive mouth opened wide, as if to swallow heaven and earth.

"The Kunpeng Heaven-Devouring Technique?" Seeing this, the Holy Stone Spirit frowned. It attacked with all its might, tearing through the Devouring Power and flying towards the Kunpeng Race’s territory ahead.

But as Kun Shaohan flew closer, the might of his Kunpeng Heaven-Devouring Technique grew ever stronger.

"The Mystical of Celestial Stone can create a world of Gravity, or it can become a Celestial Stone to suppress a Star River!" The Holy Stone Spirit was impassive. Dao Patterns coiled around its body as it transformed directly into a Celestial Stone, blasting through the Heaven-Devouring Dao Patterns of the Kunpeng Heaven-Devouring Technique.

After breaking the Heaven-Devouring Technique, it appeared in the sky above the Kunpeng Race.

Upon arriving, however, it stopped.

SWISH!

Kun Shaohan attacked, transforming into a Giant Peng, its wings slashing down.

This time, Light Patterns flickered across its wings, unleashing a burst of Divine Might.

"Watch me cut you down." Kun Shaohan snorted coldly, having clearly used Divine Power.

"Divine Power, is it? I’d like to see just how big the gap is between us." The Holy Stone Spirit turned, transformed into a Holy Stone, and met the attack.

BOOM!

The Holy Stone shot forward like a meteor, carrying an astonishing amount of Power.

Meanwhile, Dao Patterns coiled around the stone, its interior seeming to gestate a new world.

This strike was the Holy Stone Spirit’s strongest attack. As the Celestial Stone flew, it actually began to exude a slight Divine Might.

This display of might made the hearts of the experts from every clan in the Sealed Demon Land pound with fear.

"Divine Power... Is the Holy Stone Spirit also about to take that final step?"

"They’re mad! Utterly mad! Both of them are using Divine Power!" Among the various clans, many Elders emerged from their seclusion, all of them frowning.

WENG!

At this moment, Celestial Might gathered in the sky. Such terrifying Celestial Might made one’s Divine Soul tremble.

"What terrifying Celestial Might!" The Sealed Demon Land was in an uproar. Countless people looked up at the sky.

’This Celestial Might is even more terrifying than the one I drew when I faced my tribulation!’ Ling Fei was also shaken to his core.

"This is the might of Celestial Punishment!" the Grand Elder murmured, looking up.

"The Holy Stone Spirit and the Kun Ancestor used Divine Power in their battle, and thus attracted Celestial Punishment!" Several Elders at the side also frowned.

Even the members of the Kunpeng Race had solemn expressions.

Celestial Punishment!

For the Cultivators of the Sealed Demon Land, it was an absolute nightmare.

The Seven Great Divine Demon Ancient Clans here were absolutely gifted with extraordinary talent and transcendent bloodlines.

By all rights, this place should have produced countless Heaven-Reaching Realm experts.

It was precisely because of the world’s restrictions that Heaven-Reaching Realm experts were so rare.

BANG!

At this moment, the Holy Stone Spirit and Kun Shaohan fought with all their might, battling until the Void itself shattered. Terrifying Divine Power spread out, crumbling one mountain after another, striking fear into people’s hearts. Finally, the two experts erupted with terrifying Divine Power. The Holy Stone Spirit’s Spirit Body shattered and turned to nothing, while Kun Shaohan was forced back again and again.

WHOOSH!

Kun Shaohan reverted to his human form. His figure was blurry, looking as if it could dissipate at any moment.

The battle just now had exhausted a large amount of his Essence Qi.

’If that Holy Stone were given more time, he would definitely take that final step. Fortunately, I destroyed one of his Spirit Bodies this time.’ Kun Shaohan’s eyes flashed.

’In that case, I’ll use my remaining power to destroy his other Spirit Body as well!’ Suddenly, his eyes flashed, and he locked onto the Holy Stone’s other Spirit Body. At this moment, that Spirit Body was fighting the Kunpeng Corpse. Relatively speaking, the Power contained within this Spirit Body was not as strong.

SWISH!

Kun Shaohan swept his wings, about to slash at that Spirit Body.

"Stone Ancestor!" Seeing this, the Grand Elder and the others cried out.

Even Ling Fei frowned.

The Holy Stone was so powerful, yet one of its Spirit Bodies had still been destroyed.

"RUMBLE!" Just then, Thunder Light flashed in the sky, turning into serpents of lightning that poured down, immediately cutting off Kun Shaohan’s path.

RUMBLE!

Endless serpents of lightning submerged Kun Shaohan.

Clearly, the immense Power he had just unleashed had triggered the Celestial Punishment.

"Damn this Celestial Punishment!" Kun Shaohan frowned. He attacked with all his might, manifesting a Giant Kun to swallow the lightning.

Unfortunately, the Celestial Punishment was too strong. It directly shattered his body. His Spirit Body, its power already sharply diminished, was completely unable to resist the Power of Celestial Punishment.
