Before He Even Transformed, They Started Recruiting Him! Was Kong Xuan Getting a Little Carried Away?

"Hmph!"

"Jieyin, if your Western Teachings have no regard for dignity, then what extraordinary being in the Primordial World is not fated with your Western Teachings?"

Tongtian seemed extremely displeased as he coldly snorted in Jieyin's direction.

"That is not quite right!"

"This child truly is fated with the Western Teachings!"

"Alas!"

"Our West is barren, with few disciples. In terms of lineage and aptitude, we naturally cannot compare to the disciples of the Profound Gate Three Teachings. Could it be that Fellow Daoist Tongtian intends to snatch even one fated with the Western Teachings?"

Jieyin did not become angry and continued looking at Tongtian.

However, there was now a trace of pitifulness in his voice. As he spoke, he seemed on the verge of tears.

This made Tongtian reveal a deeply disdainful expression.

Back in Zixiao Palace, this fellow and Zhunti had cried and made a scene to seize Hong Yun and Kunpeng's seats.

Otherwise, the Saint positions likely would not have fallen to Jieyin and Zhunti.

That little act was useless before him.

"Taiyi greets the Saints!"

"I heard the Saints discussing Kong Xuan just now. This Emperor has something to say!"

"When Kong Xuan was born, he devoured countless demon citizens. This Emperor has come to bring him back to the Demon Race for punishment!"

"I hope the Saints can..."

Not far away, Taiyi seemed to see that these Saints all intended to take Kong Xuan as a disciple. Gritting his teeth, he cupped his hands toward them and called out in a low voice.

Though his Demon Race was powerful, these Saints were far too terrifying. He was unwilling to provoke them.

If Kong Xuan succeeded in overcoming the tribulation and entered beneath a Saint's tutelage, he truly would have no chance to bring Kong Xuan back to the Demon Race.

"Hmm?"

"Is the Eastern Emperor speaking to us?"

Upon hearing Taiyi's words, the four Saints almost simultaneously turned their heads to look at him.

Even Jieyin's expression carried a trace of disdain.

"Are you all protecting Kong Xuan?"

"But the Nine-Nine Thunder Tribulation is no child's play. Whether he can survive it is still uncertain!"

"..."

Feeling the terrifying pressure of the four Saints, Taiyi's expression abruptly darkened.

An astonishing treasure's power immediately emerged around him, directly enveloping him.

Then, he addressed the four Saints again, with traces of coldness appearing in his words.

So what if they were Saints?

He possessed the Innate Treasure, the Chaos Bell. Even the might of Saints was enough to be resisted.

"The Chaos Bell's might truly is astonishing!"

"However, if you wish to challenge the might of Saints, you had best think it through!"

"Lest you provoke dissatisfaction from these three fellow Daoists of mine, who may shatter your treasure and cause the Demon Race's Fortune to dissipate..."

Jieyin repeatedly sneered.

Yet while his first sentence intimidated Taiyi, his next sentence had already driven a wedge between the Three Pure Ones and Taiyi.

Though all beneath Saints were ants, the Chaos Bell in Taiyi's hands possessed astonishing defensive power. Even Saints would not find it easy to break.

Furthermore, that treasure had evolved from a fragment of the Pangu Axe. If it were shattered, it would inevitably become tainted by immense karma, so even Saints were unwilling to act rashly.

But how could a mere Eastern Emperor of the Demon Race dare compete with them for a disciple?

"The Son of Yuan Feng bears the Fortune of the Primordial World. He must not be destroyed or killed!"

"The Demon Race had best not interfere in this matter!"

"..."

Taiqing glanced at Jieyin, a gleam flashing in his eyes.

Then he looked toward Taiyi and spoke indifferently, seemingly advising him not to oppose them.

Hearing this, Taiyi's expression immediately turned grim.

He wanted to see whether these Saints could truly take Kong Xuan away.

At worst, the Demon Race could pay some price and invite that Saint to intervene, enough to contend with the Three Pure Ones and Jieyin before him.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"..."

At this moment, Tribulation Lightning fell from the Tribulation Clouds one after another. The terrifying roars faintly drowned out the conversation between the Saints and Taiyi.

Kong Xuan, who was undergoing the tribulation, also sensed several powerful beings arriving nearby and could even intermittently hear some of their conversation.

This made him feel rather pleased with himself.

It seemed that this crisis of his had already been resolved.

Not only did the Demon Race not dare deal with him, but four Saints had even come, seemingly intending to accept him into a Saint's lineage.

One had to know that his Transformation Thunder Tribulation had not even ended yet.

Could it be that his supreme aptitude had finally been displayed before the powerful beings of the Myriad Races in the Primordial World?

At this thought, Kong Xuan's body trembled, and Five-Colored Light surged wildly around him, faintly threatening to soar into the heavens.

Sensing this scene, Mo Wen's Divine Sense within the Tribulation Clouds trembled.

"Seriously?"

"This guy was getting carried away!"

"Didn't he know that those Saints and the Demon Emperor wanted to scheme against the Phoenix Race's Fortune, not sincerely treat him well?"

"Don't court death. Absolutely don't court death!"

"I still wanted to peacefully finish this Thunder Tribulation!"

Mo Wen was genuinely afraid that Kong Xuan would become arrogant like Guang Chengzi and try to show off before the Saints.

If this fellow charged into the Tribulation Clouds, should he strike him dead, cripple him, or quietly leave?

At this thought, Mo Wen's Divine Sense trembled again as he directly released the power of one strand of Tribulation Lightning.

"A change?"

"This Tribulation Lightning seemed extremely powerful!"

"Could Kong Xuan withstand it?"

"..."

In an instant, that strand of Tribulation Lightning transformed into a terrifying Thunder Dragon, releasing supreme might capable of shaking heaven and earth, leaving the Saints and Demon Emperor stunned.

Kong Xuan, however, felt that no matter how terrifying the Tribulation Lightning's momentum was, it would be nothing much once it struck him. He felt no tension whatsoever.

He even slowly spread his wings, swayed his Five-Colored Tail Feathers, and released astonishing Five-Colored Divine Light, intending to clash with that Thunder Dragon.

"Boom!"

In an instant, the incomparably violent Thunder Dragon came roaring down.

Its terrifying power caused the Five-Colored Divine Light released by Kong Xuan to collapse at once.

"What is going on?"

"Why had it become so terrifying?"

"Damn it!"

"Block it!"

"..."

In that instant, Kong Xuan understood that this Tribulation Lightning was entirely different from the previous ones.

Its momentum was terrifying, and its power was even more terrifying.

The brief collision had already made his heart tremble in fear, and a trace of dread arose within him.

The pleased expression from before instantly vanished. He hurriedly activated the full power of the defensive barrier around him, wanting to block this Tribulation Lightning.

"Boom!"

At that moment, the Thunder Dragon had already smashed viciously down upon him, causing the Five-Colored Light around him to rapidly dissipate.

Terrifying lightning enveloped his body, while the violent impact sent him plummeting down. He slammed fiercely into a hill below, flattening the entire hill.

"Pfft..."

Kong Xuan only managed to slowly crawl up from the dust and lightning after great difficulty. Though he had not died, he had suffered grave injuries and violently spat out several mouthfuls of Essence Blood.

His dazzling, magnificent plumage had turned charred black. At the slightest movement, it scattered away like dust, leaving only several tail feathers trembling in the wind.
