In Chaos, Zhunti chuckled and said, "Fellow Daoist Kunpeng, take this move." With that, he directly manifested a Dharma body with twenty-four heads and eighteen arms, charging toward Kunpeng.
Kunpeng chuckled and said, "Is that all?" With that, he directly transformed into his true Kunpeng form. Spreading his wings, he swept them forward, colliding with Zhunti. A massive explosion erupted from the point of impact.
After a bout of fighting, Kunpeng gained the upper hand. The explosive sounds from the collision soon faded, and the battlefield before them fell silent. Zhunti stared at Kunpeng in front of him, a trace of astonishment flickering in his eyes.
Kunpeng soared high into the sky, a savage aura swirling around him. His eyes flashed like lightning as he stared at Zhunti, a crafty smile curling at the corners of his mouth. This time, in order to take down West Queen Mother, he had brought out his full strength and prepared to beat Zhunti senseless.
Zhunti slowly withdrew his twenty-four-headed, eighteen-armed Dharma body, a solemn expression appearing on his face. He had not expected Kunpeng to possess such powerful strength, enough to contend with him. But Zhunti was not the sort of person who would admit defeat easily. Although he was somewhat shameless, in some respects, he possessed boundless wisdom and unwavering conviction. Otherwise, Hongjun would not have taken him as a disciple solely because of their karmic connection.
Zhunti clasped his hands together and closed his eyes in contemplation for a moment. Suddenly, a sharp gleam flashed through his eyes, and he decided to use his ultimate technique. A Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree appeared in his hand. Seven-colored radiance rose from Zhunti, forming a seven-colored pagoda that radiated powerful Buddhist energy.
At the sight of this, a trace of vigilance flashed through Kunpeng's eyes. He knew that the power contained within the pagoda was extraordinary. He had to defeat Zhunti as quickly as possible, or the consequences would be dire.
Thus, Kunpeng suddenly accelerated, shooting toward Zhunti like a bolt of lightning. His wings beat violently, stirring up a gale, while his fierce momentum sent chills down one's spine.
Zhunti's expression remained calm as he silently recited a Buddhist invocation. The seven-colored pagoda suddenly began to spin, radiating dazzling Buddhist light. Under its illumination, Kunpeng suddenly felt his body grow heavy, making it impossible for him to fly with the same agility as before.
Seizing the opportunity, Zhunti thrust out his palm. The seven-colored pagoda transformed into a streak of radiant light and instantly enveloped Kunpeng. Kunpeng struggled, trying to break free of the radiant light's restraints, but to no avail.
Seeing this, Xuanxiao said to Taiyi, "Kunpeng is at a disadvantage because of his treasure. How about we secretly lend him a hand?"
Taiyi nodded and said, "Everyone knows my treasure, so using it would be too obvious. Do you have any treasure that no one knows about, one whose power is no weaker than the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree? Judging by cultivation alone, it's already obvious that Kunpeng currently surpasses Zhunti."
Xuanxiao nodded and began searching through his primordial spirit. Before long, he transmitted a treasured sword into Kunpeng's primordial spirit and sent a voice transmission: "Fellow Daoist Kunpeng, that Qingming Sword in your primordial spirit is a High-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure. Use it to cut him down."
Upon hearing this, Kunpeng summoned a treasured sword brimming with azure light from his primordial spirit. With one slash, it cleaved through the seven-colored radiance. Holding the sword in his hand, he said, "Zhunti, take my sword!" With that, a streak of sword light shot toward Zhunti. As for the strength of this sword light, one only had to look at how the Chaos Starry Sky it cleaved apart was directly opened into a small world to understand.
Seeing this, Zhunti hurriedly used the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree to sweep out waves of seven-colored radiance and block the attacks. As the two fought more and more fiercely, Hongjun suddenly appeared and said, "Have I not said that there must be no great battles in the Primordial Wilderness before the Three Lectures?"
Kunpeng and Zhunti hurriedly nodded and said, "Dao Ancestor, we know our mistake."
Seeing this, Hongjun nodded in satisfaction and said, "Since that is the case, I shall take my leave first. After the Three Lectures, I will undergo Merged with the Dao with the Heavenly Dao. From then on, I will no longer interfere in the affairs of the Primordial Wilderness. Henceforth, the grand course will not change, and Hongjun will not appear."
Xuanxiao grumbled inwardly, "Hmph, 'the grand course will not change, and Hongjun will not appear'? Whether the grand course changes or not is still up to you, isn't it? Honestly... I don't even know how to complain about this."
