Chapter 732: Chapter 664: The Immortal Spirit Peacock’s Display and Ascension

Azure Owl’s eyes sparkled as she wrapped her arms around the Divine Beast White Tiger’s enormous head, though she couldn’t even come close to fully embracing it.

The White Tiger’s murderously fierce eyes softened, and it docilely allowed Azure Owl to fuss over its head, not showing the slightest bit of temper.

Then, the Saint Peng King’s Demon King Golden Core was spat out, hovering before Azure Owl.

This Peacock was truly fortunate. She had been vacationing in the Purple Bamboo Forest, only to return to a Demon King Golden Core waiting to be devoured.

"Ermao, I love you so much!"

Seeing the Saint Peng King’s Demon King Golden Core, Azure Owl’s eyes shone, and a stunningly beautiful smile blossomed on her exquisite face.

The moment Azure Owl took hold of the Saint Peng King’s Lifebound Golden Core, the experts of the Hundred Birds Lineage flew into a frenzy once more, streaking toward her in a unified wave.

"ROAR..."

The Divine Beast White Tiger let out a ferocious roar, causing the very space around them to tremble violently.

"Hee hee... Ermao, watch this!"

Cupping the Golden Core in her hands, Azure Owl leaped onto the White Tiger’s back.

The White Tiger spread its wings and shot up, soaring to the highest point above the fray of Battle Companions.

SWISH SWISH SWISH...!

In an instant, countless experts from the bird races surrounded the White Tiger and Azure Owl, swarming them from all directions and blotting out the sky.

"Return the Golden Core of our Saint Peng King! Otherwise, the Hundred Birds Lineage will fight you to the bitter end!"

A hawk-like expert at the Pseudo Demon King Level roared in fury. A pair of enormous, pitch-black wings grew from his back, giving him an avian, humanoid appearance.

Azure Owl narrowed her eyes, a playful smile on her face as she stood on the White Tiger’s back. A nine-colored Divine Light erupted from her, bathing the entire sky in a splendid, nine-hued radiance that was fantastically beautiful.

Immediately, the inviolable aura of a Divine Bird began to emanate from her. Radiant light filled the heavens, thick with Immortal Qi.

And just like that, a graceful and poised Immortal Spirit Peacock appeared on the back of the Divine Beast White Tiger.

This...!

The experts of the Hundred Birds Lineage were instantly petrified, staring blankly as if they had received a tremendous shock.

"How is this possible? It’s the sacred bird of our Hundred Bird Race, the legendary Immortal Spirit Peacock!"

At that moment, the killing intent radiating from the Hundred Birds Lineage experts vanished. The Immortal Spirit Peacock held an incredibly high status.

It was said they could evolve into the legendary Phoenix.

Many of the surrounding birds couldn’t resist landing and prostrating themselves on the ground, terrified by the Peacock’s aura.

"I, this Peacock, am going to devour this Golden Core. Does anyone have any objections?"

Azure Owl’s words were softly spoken, yet they carried an imperious air. The Saint Peng King’s Demon King Golden Core hovered before its beak.

The expressions of the surrounding Bird Demon Spirits flickered with uncertainty. If a member of any other race had tried to devour this Demon King Golden Core, they would have never allowed it.

But for the legendary sacred bird of the Hundred Birds Lineage, the Immortal Spirit Peacock, to devour it... they had no reason to object.

Even if they were to choose a successor from the countless birds of the Hundred Birds Lineage to consume the Saint Peng King’s Golden Core, none would be more qualified than this Immortal Spirit Peacock.

For a moment, there was dead silence. The members of the Hundred Birds Lineage were utterly bewildered.

"Since you’re not speaking, I won’t stand on ceremony."

Just then, the hawk-like Pseudo Demon King could no longer remain silent. He bellowed, "You may be an Immortal Spirit Peacock, but you are the Battle Companion of the King of the Snake Clan! You are no longer one of the Hundred Birds Lineage! You have no right to devour this Demon King Golden Core!"

The Hundred Birds Lineage was now leaderless. They would eventually have to choose a successor to consume the Saint Peng King’s Demon King Golden Core and become the new Bird King.

As a Pseudo Demon King, he himself was qualified to be a candidate.

How could he stand by and watch the Peacock monopolize such a great opportunity?

But the moment he spoke...!

ROAR...!

An overwhelming, murderous Qi erupted from the Divine Beast White Tiger as it let out a furious roar directed at the hawk-like Pseudo Demon King.

BOOM...!

This was no ordinary roar. The hawk expert’s face twisted in horror before he exploded on the spot, turning into a mist of blood. A Pseudo Demon King’s Golden Core was left hovering in his place.

"Now, may I devour this Golden Core?"

The experts of the Hundred Bird Race exchanged glances in dismay. This Divine Beast White Tiger was too tyrannical; a Pseudo Demon King expert from their own race had been killed with a single roar. Who would dare to object now?

But the Saint Peng King’s Demon King Golden Core was more than just a Golden Core.

Among all the races, a king’s Golden Core was always passed down to the heir. Consuming it would not only cause the new king’s cultivation to skyrocket but would also secure their authority over their people.

This Immortal Spirit Peacock was already a sacred bird—holy, inviolable, and protected by a nine-colored Divine Light, making it impossibly noble. If it were to now consume the Bird King’s Golden Core, it would be equivalent to ascending the throne.

If it were merely an Immortal Spirit Peacock, the Hundred Bird Race would be overjoyed. This was a bloodline no less prestigious than that of a Dapeng Divine Bird—the very资质 of a king.

But as fate would have it, this noble Immortal Spirit Peacock was the Battle Companion of the Snake King.

How could a Battle Companion become the king of the Hundred Birds Lineage? That would be a joke! It would mean the Hundred Birds Lineage would be forced to live under the thumb of the Snake Race, forever a step beneath them.

From then on, what status would the Hundred Birds Lineage have left in the Yaoling Mountain Range?

But the current situation was no longer in their control. They could object, but objection meant death.

Under the terrifying might of the Divine Beast White Tiger, these bird experts were filled with fury but dared not utter a word.

Thus, under the watchful eyes of the entire Hundred Birds Lineage, the Immortal Spirit Peacock elegantly swallowed the Saint Peng King’s Demon King Golden Core.

At that moment, a profound sense of despair washed over the experts of the Hundred Birds Lineage. Their world was about to be turned upside down.

The moment it swallowed the Demon King Golden Core, the magnificent feathers of the Immortal Spirit Peacock, still standing on the White Tiger’s back, erupted with an intense nine-colored Divine Light. Under this powerful radiance, a mass of glowing clouds began to churn and swirl above She Mountain, and a unique, otherworldly fragrance filled the air.

The glowing clouds were so sacred and bright that even the daylight could not conceal their brilliance. Suddenly, a strange beam of light shot out from within them, illuminating the Immortal Spirit Peacock.

The beam was like a spotlight. The Immortal Spirit Peacock slowly levitated off the Divine Beast White Tiger’s back, rising into the air and resonating with the glowing clouds above.

The Immortal Spirit Peacock’s aura began to skyrocket. Its Divine Bird aura seethed with power—sacred and inviolable. The phenomenon was terrifying to behold.

The experts of the Hundred Birds Lineage stared in horror at the Immortal Spirit Peacock, now shrouded in nine-colored Divine Light. A tremor ran through the very depths of their souls.

It was the aura of the Bird King!

"Ding! The Level 34 Immortal Spirit Peacock has consumed the Demon King Golden Core of the Level 37 Saint Peng King. Level increased to 35."

"Ding! Congratulations, the Immortal Spirit Peacock has reached Level 36."

CRY...!

Between heaven and earth, high above She Mountain, the Immortal Spirit Peacock, still enveloped in nine-colored Divine Light, unfurled its magnificent wings. Its beauty was overwhelming. Its long, gorgeous tail spread out slowly like a colorful fan in a fairy’s hand, its feathers shimmering like translucent pearls and rustling softly.

The nine-colored Divine Light erupted once more, illuminating the heavens and the earth.

The Immortal Spirit Peacock fanned its tail feathers, appearing like a Phoenix reborn from Nirvana.

Suddenly, the resolve of every expert from the Hundred Birds Lineage shattered. The Immortal Spirit Peacock had devoured the Demon King Golden Core, reached the Demon King Level, and its boiling Bird King aura was flooding the world. The birds had no choice but to submit unconditionally.

WHOOSH WHOOSH...!

Countless bird experts reverted to their primal forms. One after another, great birds took to the sky, their numbers swelling until they blotted out the sun. They let out a collective chorus of clear, melodious birdsong, like the gentle babbling of a brook, as they circled high in the air.

The Immortal Spirit Peacock had taken the throne. It was a scene of a hundred birds paying homage to the Phoenix.

This scene sent shockwaves through the allied army of the races. Even the fervor of their all-out assault came to a standstill.

The Saint Peng King, the Dapeng Divine Bird of the Hundred Birds Lineage, had just fallen, and a new Bird King had immediately taken the throne. It caught every Demon completely off guard.

The Battle Companion of the King of the Snake Clan, an Immortal Spirit Peacock, had become the new king of the Hundred Birds Lineage. Good heavens, this world had gone mad.

It was like a bombshell that left the allied army of the races utterly and completely stunned.

The Yellow Demon King’s face turned ashen. ’Dammit, what the hell is going on?’

It was one thing for the Saint Peng King to die at the hands of the Divine Beast White Tiger, but how had the Snake Demon King’s Battle Companion become the new king of the Hundred Birds Lineage?

’None of this makes any sense.’

If this was the case, not only would the Hundred Birds Lineage completely withdraw from the allied army, but in the worst-case scenario, they would join the Snake Race and fight against them.

The shift in allegiance would be a fatal blow.

It completely upended his plans. What’s more, with the death of the Bat King, the bat experts had lost all their morale, like a group of listless orphans.

At this rate, the allied army of the races was about to fall apart completely.
