Chapter 88: King of the Great Peng! A Deal with Su Nan!

Chapter 88: King of the Great Peng! A Deal with Su Nan!

In the instant the barrier shattered, Su Nan and all the elders of the Little Immortal Sect were instantly present!

A peak Near-Emperor as the sect leader, six Great Sage peak masters, ten Saint Kings as enforcers, over thirty Saints as elders, and more than a hundred King-level executors!

This was the first sect Su Nan had built with the combined power of the entire Southern Domain!

The sheer presence of such a formidable group caused the heavens to tremble and the void to wail.

Even though their combined strength could easily overwhelm a sacred land, the faces of these powerful figures darkened and grew serious as they faced the shattered barrier.

Monsters!

Younger cultivators might not understand, but they had all experienced the terrifying racial wars.

Those wars were true mountains of corpses and seas of blood. Even powerful Saints could meet their end on the battlefield with the slightest misstep.

The bloodthirsty, crazed, and formidable nature of the monster race was still vivid in their minds, even after hundreds of years.

During the great racial war, the human race did not win.

Instead, they gathered the power of the five domains to create a celestial barrier, separating the human and monster races.

After centuries of recuperation, the barrier has finally been shattered by the monsters once again!

"Did you establish the Little Immortal Sect here because you knew they would come?"

Wu Jiuling glanced at the powerful figures around him, feeling a slight sense of relief.

"I knew they would come, but I didn't expect it to be so soon."

Su Nan gazed into the distance, his eyes narrowing as he saw the approaching group.

A thousand years had passed, and the path to the Imperial Realm was about to open. He had foreseen that the monster race would raise their army again.

But he hadn't expected the monsters to break through the barrier on the day his sect was just established.

"A show of force, huh."

Su Nan let out a cold snort.

"Ha ha ha, Su Nan, it's been a long time!"

A deep, resonant laugh echoed from the sky, causing the King-level experts of the Little Immortal Sect to grunt in pain, feeling their eardrums about to burst.

With a flick of his wrist, Su Nan didn't show any leniency. The Great Black Lance in his hand pierced through the void like a black dragon, shooting forward.

The aura of a peak Near-Emperor permeated the heavens, and the might of the Imperial Armament carried a crushing force that descended with the weight of the sky.

Boom!

The arriving monster group, brimming with confidence, all took a step back, grunting in unison.

Only the leader, standing tall and straight like a sword, with his golden hair dancing in the wind, did not retreat.

Seeing the Great Black Lance, he didn't dodge but instead laughed and stepped forward, extending his palm to meet the Imperial Armament head-on.

With a thunderous boom, a violent energy swept through the area, causing the heavens and earth to stir.

The Great Black Lance was actually sent flying back into Su Nan's hand.

"I would fear you if you brought the true form of your Imperial Armament, the Great Black Lance. But with just a fragment, it can't easily break my monster body."

The King of the Great Peng's eyes shone like brilliant golden diamonds, radiating a sharp light.

The Little Immortal Sect's members fell silent at his words.

Was the true form of an Imperial Armament so easily moved?

No one would use such a powerful weapon unless the survival of their family or faction was at stake.

But even just a fragment of an Imperial Armament carried the aura of an Imperial Weapon, and it was blocked by his physical body.

This showed just how terrifyingly strong his body was.

"Breaking the Heavens, I didn't expect that after a few hundred years, you've become the King of the Golden-Winged Great Peng."

That the Great Peng King could block his Great Black Lance didn't surprise Su Nan, but his identity did.

"I owe it to you. Killing my two brothers allowed me to absorb their bloodlines."

The Great Peng King smiled, but his eyes remained cold.

"Unfortunately, you didn't kill me, and now you've become a formidable opponent."

Su Nan looked at the Great Peng King, his face half-smiling, half-serious.

Back then, in his youthful arrogance, he had focused on the Great Peng King alone.

They had no particular grudge, but since his Imperial Armament was the Great Black Lance, and the Great Peng King was called "Breaking the Heavens," it irked him.

The Great Peng King fell silent at this.

Back then, Su Nan had pursued him relentlessly, breaking through a hundred thousand monster troops.

If it weren't for the innate speed of the Golden-Winged Great Peng, he would have died under Su Nan's lance long ago.

"Speak up, you didn’t break through the barrier just to catch up with me, did you?"

Seeing only the Golden-Winged Great Peng Clan behind him and no other demonic races, Su Nan felt a slight relief. The Golden-Winged Great Peng Clan was strong, but he wasn’t afraid of just one clan.

"Haha, I heard today is the founding day of your sect, Su Nan. Naturally, I have to come and offer my congratulations."

The Great Peng King's sharp gaze swept around, then looked down at the Ten Thousand Great Mountains, his voice filled with disdain. "Your sky is too low, your mountains too short, and your precious resources are pitifully scarce."

"Now that the barrier is broken, how about I gift you the Ten Thousand Miles of the Demonic Realm, teeming with countless treasures?"

At these words, the pupils of those in the Little Immortal Sect narrowed slightly.

The Demonic Realm was different from the human realm; it was shrouded in demonic aura, making it extremely suitable for the growth of rare and divine materials, with an incredibly dense concentration of spiritual energy.

If the Ten Thousand Miles of the Demonic Realm could truly be annexed by the Little Immortal Sect, it would be a treasure trove of infinite value. Not only could disciples undergo trials in the demonic realm, but they could also harvest endless resources. Additionally, the bodies of demonic beasts were treasure troves, valuable for alchemy, artifact forging, and talismans. Each demonic beast was worth a fortune.

However, just as with humans, the essence blood of humans was also an excellent resource for demonic beasts to cultivate.

The Great Peng King’s offer of the Ten Thousand Miles of the Demonic Realm was more like opening a simplified battlefield for the Little Immortal Sect. A battlefield exclusive to the young generation, a field of prodigies!

But regardless, this was a huge gain for the Little Immortal Sect. Once the Ten Thousand Miles of the Demonic Realm were gifted, they would belong to the human realm!

"Conditions."

Su Nan said coolly, not believing the Great Peng King’s good intentions.

"I heard you took the Ancient Stone Carving from the hands of the Devil Sect?"

The Great Peng King’s golden eyes flashed with light as he spoke. "Coincidentally, I have a descendant who has just begun cultivation and wants to use this stone carving to test his potential."

As he finished speaking, a golden-haired youth stepped out from the crowd of demonic beasts. His golden eyes were bright and filled with a wild and arrogant air. Even just standing there, the sound of surging blood and qi could be heard from within his body.

Strands of golden light flashed around him, like the blazing sun, captivating and awe-inspiring.

"Bloodline regression! An Ancient Heavenly Peng!"

A Great Sage of the Little Immortal Sect’s eyes shone with light, as if he could see through the young Great Peng King’s roots, and he couldn’t help but exclaim in shock.

At these words, the faces of the humans present changed.

Demonic beasts valued bloodlines, and the Ancient Heavenly Peng bloodline was even more terrifying than the human Saint Body. The previous Great Peng King had possessed such a bloodline, with unparalleled speed and terrifying combat power. If not for his advanced age and withdrawal from the world, even a peak Near-Emperor would have been helpless against him.

But no one expected such a powerful bloodline to reappear!

"The Great Era has arrived!"

This thought simultaneously flashed through everyone's minds.

The path to the Emperor realm was about to open, and prodigies of monstrous caliber were continuously emerging.

"Adding one more person for the test, and I will gift you the Ten Thousand Miles of the Demonic Realm. Is this a fair deal?"

The Great Peng King saw the shock on the humans' faces and smiled proudly. The Ten Thousand Miles of the Demonic Realm was extremely precious, even to him. But the Ancient Stone Carving could create value several times, even dozens of times, greater than the Ten Thousand Miles of the Demonic Realm!

The old Great Peng King had, by virtue of his Ancient Heavenly Peng bloodline, managed to obtain the Ancient Stone Carving for testing and ultimately ranked tenth on the list, surpassing several generations of prodigies!

No one knew how much the old Great Peng King had benefited from the Ancient blessing. But after that, the Golden-Winged Great Peng Clan gained a heavenly power nearly on par with an Emperor's technique!

Now, the young Great Peng King also possessed the Ancient Heavenly Peng bloodline. Could he also rank in the top ten? Could he bring another powerful technique to the Golden-Winged Great Peng Clan?

Today, the Great Peng King was willing to break the barrier for two reasons:

First, to have the young Great Peng King participate in the test and receive the Ancient blessing.

Second, to have the young Great Peng King surpass all the disciples of the Little Immortal Sect, to humiliate Su Nan!
