Chaos Within, Kunpeng Battles Zhunti

In the Chaos, Zhunti chuckled and said, "Fellow Daoist Kunpeng, take this move." With that, he manifested his form with twenty-four heads and eighteen arms and charged at Kunpeng.

Kunpeng chuckled and said, "Is that all?" With that, he manifested his true Kunpeng form, spread his wings, and swung them, colliding with Zhunti. A severe explosion occurred at the point of impact.

After a struggle, Kunpeng gained the upper hand. The sound of the collision's explosion faded, and the battlefield before them became silent. Zhunti gazed at Kunpeng before him, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

Kunpeng spread its wings and soared, a fierce aura surrounding it. Its gaze was like lightning, fixed on Zhunti, a cunning smile playing on its lips. This time, to capture the West Queen Mother, he had unleashed his full strength, ready to beat Zhunti soundly.

Zhunti slowly retracted his twenty-four-headed, eighteen-armed form, a look of solemnity on his face. He had not expected Kunpeng to possess such immense power, capable of contending with him. But Zhunti was not one to give up easily; though somewhat shameless, in a way, he possessed infinite wisdom and unwavering conviction. Otherwise, Hongjun would not have taken him as a disciple purely based on karma.

Zhunti clasped his hands together and meditated with closed eyes for a moment. Suddenly, his eyes flashed with brilliance, and he decided to use his ultimate move. A Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree appeared in his hand, and a seven-colored divine light rose from Zhunti, forming a seven-colored pagoda that emanated powerful Buddhist might.

Seeing this, a hint of vigilance flashed in Kunpeng's eyes. It knew the power contained within this pagoda was extraordinary and that it had to defeat Zhunti quickly, or the consequences would be unimaginable.

Thus, Kunpeng's speed suddenly increased, charging at Zhunti like a bolt of lightning. Its wings flapped violently, stirring up a gale, its fierce aura chilling to the bone.

Zhunti's expression was calm as he silently chanted Buddhist names. The seven-colored pagoda spun violently, emitting a radiant Buddhist light. Under the illumination of the Buddhist light, Kunpeng suddenly felt its body become heavy, unable to fly as freely as before.

Seizing the opportune moment, Zhunti pushed his palm forward. The seven-colored pagoda transformed into a beam of light and instantly enveloped Kunpeng. Kunpeng struggled, trying to break free from the light's restraint, but it was futile.

Seeing this, Xuanxiao said to Taiyi, "Kunpeng is at a disadvantage with its magical treasures. Why don't we lend a hand secretly?"

Taiyi nodded and said, "My magical treasures are well-known, too obvious. Do you have any magical treasures that aren't widely known, with power comparable to the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree? Judging purely by cultivation, Kunpeng is clearly above Zhunti at the moment."

Xuanxiao nodded and searched within his Primordial Spirit. Before long, Xuanxiao transmitted a treasure sword into Kunpeng's Primordial Spirit, sending a telepathic message: "Fellow Daoist Kunpeng, the Qingming Sword in your Primordial Spirit is a top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure. Cut him."

Upon hearing this, Kunpeng summoned a sword radiating green light from its Primordial Spirit and slashed it out, breaking through the seven-colored divine light. Holding the sword, it said, "Zhunti, take this sword!" With that, a sword light pierced towards Zhunti. If you were to ask about the strength of this sword light, the fact that it directly opened up a small world in the shattered Chaos Starry Sky would tell you.

Seeing this, Zhunti quickly used the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree to brush out streaks of seven-colored divine light to block. As the two fought more fiercely, Hongjun suddenly appeared and said, "Didn't I say that no major battles are allowed in the Primordial World before the Three Lectures?"

Kunpeng and Zhunti quickly nodded and said, "Dao Ancestor, we know we were wrong."

Hongjun nodded with satisfaction and said, "Since that is the case, I shall take my leave. After the Three Lectures, I will merge with the Heavenly Dao and will no longer concern myself with the affairs of the Primordial World. From now on, the general trend will not change, and Hongjun will not intervene."

Xuanxiao muttered inwardly, "Hmph, the general trend will not change, and Hongjun will not intervene? Whether the general trend changes or not is up to you, isn't it? Truly... I don't know how to complain."
