Taichu Encounters Yang Mei, Discussing Hundun's Hidden Secrets

Tian Huang Great Elder led tens of thousands of Phoenix Clan members to the South Sea!

In terms of strength, Tian Huang Great Elder alone would have been enough!

But they could not carry out a silent extermination. What the Phoenix Clan wanted most was a display of deterrence!

Otherwise, how could they demonstrate the Phoenix Clan's might!

Tian Huang Great Elder stood above the South Sea and shouted, "You little loaches of the South Sea Dragon Clan, come out and die!"

Yet after quite a while, there was not the slightest movement!

"Could they be so frightened by the heavenly might of my Phoenix Clan that they have all hidden away? Impossible, right?"

Tian Huang Great Elder muttered to himself!

Just then, the South Sea suddenly churned with wind and clouds!

A towering tidal wave crashed toward the Phoenix Clan army!

"Hmph, these Dragon Clan brats still dare to resist!"

As he spoke, Tian Huang Great Elder struck out with his palm as well, but something he never expected happened!

Tian Huang Great Elder was actually forced back several steps by the impact!

"So strong! Could there be a Dragon Clan expert here?"

This time, Tian Huang Great Elder had indeed guessed correctly!

Because of the war between the North Sea Dragon Clan and the Qilin Clan, Zu Long had dispatched three Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals to each of the Four Seas!

Tian Huang Great Elder was already at the peak of Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal. For him to be driven back by a single palm strike showed that his opponent was no ordinary figure!

In but an instant, a group of Dragon Clan members appeared upon the sea!

At their head stood three Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal experts!

"Tian Huang, old man, instead of cowering inside your Phoenix Clan, you came to my South Sea to run wild!"

Following the voice, Tian Huang Great Elder was startled to discover that the speaker was actually a Dragon Clan guardian elder!

Tian Huang Great Elder snorted coldly. "I wondered who it was. So it is you, you old loach!"

As soon as his words fell, South Sea Blazing Fire spewed toward the Dragon Clan!

"A paltry trick, and you still dare to flaunt it!" The Dragon Clan guardian elder instantly unleashed an aura of extreme cold. The two forces intertwined, one cold and one hot, neither giving way to the other!

"Third Elder, let us join forces and take down this Tian Huang cur first!" the Dragon Clan guardian elder shouted!

Another pillar of light shot toward Tian Huang Great Elder. In an instant, heaven and earth changed color, while winds and clouds roiled.

Tian Huang Great Elder's expression shifted. He hurriedly unleashed his true phoenix form, transforming into a massive phoenix and charging toward the pillar of light.

The pillar of light collided with the phoenix, erupting with an earth-shaking boom.

The phoenix was blasted back hundreds of meters, and quite a few feathers fell from its body.

"Haha, Tian Huang, old man, you will not escape today!" the Dragon Clan guardian elder laughed smugly.

Tian Huang Great Elder wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, a trace of resolve flashing through his eyes. He decided to use his final trump card—the Phoenix Blood Sacrifice.

He bit his finger and scattered his blood into the air, chanting an incantation!

At once, crimson flames appeared in the sky. A rain of blood filled the heavens and swept toward the Dragon Clan.

"Not good, retreat!" the Dragon Clan guardian elder shouted!

"It is said that with the Phoenix Blood Sacrifice, those of lower realms die the moment they are touched. Even those at the same realm would lose half their life if contaminated!"

However, the wielder of this technique could only launch a single attack!

After that strike, all their mana would be exhausted. It could be said that this move was also a sure-kill technique!

Seeing this, the Phoenix Clan members hurriedly shielded the Great Elder as they retreated swiftly toward the Phoenix Clan!

"Where do you think you are going!" After a thunderous shout, the Dragon Clan behind them had already given chase!

Just as the Dragon Clan was about to catch up, a mysterious light suddenly descended from the sky, forming a protective barrier that blocked the Dragon Clan's attacks.

The Phoenix Clan members looked up at the sky in astonishment, only to see a figure slowly descending.

Beneath her peerlessly beautiful face lay an icy killing intent!

The Phoenix Clan Great Elder shouted excitedly, "Clan Chief!"

This person was none other than Yuan Feng, the Phoenix Clan Chief!

The instant Tian Huang Great Elder used the Phoenix Blood Sacrifice, Yuan Feng had sensed it!

Yuan Feng looked coldly at the Dragon Clan. Golden light gleamed in her hand, and with a gentle wave of the Phoenix Scepter, the Dragon Clan members were sent flying billions of miles away!

Yuan Feng did not strike to kill them!

After all, she was the Phoenix Clan Chief and represented the Phoenix Clan. The time had not yet come to completely tear all ties with Zu Long!

Even though Yuan Feng had a fiery temper and was furious within, she still had to consider the Phoenix Clan!

Meanwhile, Taichu, who was traveling through the Primordial Wilderness, unknowingly arrived at the Northernmost Land of the Primordial Wilderness!

The sky and sea stretched as one here. As far as the eye could see lay a vast expanse of seawater, mist rising from its surface. Yet a barren mountain in the distance caught Taichu's attention!

The mountain stood towering and majestic, not a blade of grass growing upon it. The Law of Space flickered in and out around it, while an aura of chaos faintly coiled about its slopes!

"Eh? To think I would meet an old friend!"

With that, Taichu sped toward the colossal mountain!

With a flicker of his body, he had already entered the mountain, where all he felt was a deathly stillness!

Following the aura, Taichu gradually reached the deepest part at the foot of the mountain. There, an old man sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, his brows swaying in the wind, the aura around him in disarray!

"Fellow Daoist Yang Mei!" Taichu called out!

This old man was none other than Daoist Yang Mei, the Space Demon God!

"Fellow Daoist, it has been a long time!"

Daoist Yang Mei slowly spoke, his voice weak and his mana utterly depleted!

"Fellow Daoist Yang Mei, what happened? Who injured you so grievously?"

Taichu asked with concern!

Yang Mei slowly said, "Fellow Daoist, you do not know the whole story. It is a long tale!"

Seeing how weak Yang Mei was, Taichu immediately said, "We can speak of it later. Let me treat your injuries first!"

As he spoke, he immediately took out Three Lights Divine Water and fed it to Yang Mei!

Seeing that Daoist Yang Mei showed only slight improvement after drinking the Three Lights Divine Water, Taichu promptly sent a million mu of Great Dao Merit into Yang Mei's body!

"Recover properly first. I will stand guard for you here!"

Having said this, Taichu did not wait for Yang Mei to respond. He simply sat down where he was and began cultivating!

Fifty thousand years later, Yang Mei finally slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air!

Yang Mei rose and bowed. "Many thanks, Fellow Daoist, for saving my life!"

Taichu hurriedly helped Yang Mei up and said, "Why be so polite, Fellow Daoist? We have known each other for endless ages. It was merely a lift of the hand—do not stand on ceremony with me!"

At this moment, Yang Mei's complexion had already turned rosy, his voice resonant, and his mana had recovered seven or eight parts out of ten!

With a sweep of Taichu's hand, a stone table appeared. Enlightenment Tea and Moon Laurel Wine were set upon it. Old friends meeting again naturally had endless things to say, and the two began chatting right where they were!

Yang Mei said leisurely, "I never expected Fellow Daoist Taichu's cultivation to have already reached the great perfection of the Primordial Golden Immortal. I fear you will attain the Dao before long!"

Taichu said, "Though I can sense that only the slightest thread separates me from it, I have still been unable to break through. That is why I have been traveling through the Primordial Wilderness. I never expected to encounter you here, Fellow Daoist!"

Yang Mei said, "So that is how it is. Had Fellow Daoist arrived any later, I fear this old Daoist's life would soon have come to an end!"

Taichu asked, "Who exactly was capable of wounding you to such a state?"

Yang Mei said leisurely, "Back when I was traveling through chaos, I encountered a great gray bird. Its wings were immense—when spread, they spanned a full ten thousand li.

It flew out from the Depths of Chaos and, without a word, attacked me directly. I battled it for several million years, and in the end, both of us were grievously wounded!" Yang Mei said, still shaken by the memory.
