"Di Jun wishes to invite you to join the demon race as its military advisor. Your status would be equal to mine."
Kunpeng frowned and pondered in silence. Di Jun had established the demon race and gathered numerous Grand Luo Golden Immortals around him, yet he had still come looking for me. His ambitions must be considerable. Could he be planning to become the ruler of the Primordial World, just like the dragons and phoenixes?
He thought of the Three Pure Ones and the others in Zixiao Palace, and hesitated. Di Jun's actions would certainly draw opposition from the other powerful beings. No one wanted to have someone sitting above their heads. At that point, the demon race would become everyone's target. It seemed this was not a place to go.
With that thought, Kunpeng raised his head and refused, "Thank you for your kindness, Fellow Daoist, but Kunpeng prefers peace and quiet."
"Kunpeng, my elder brother respects you. Don't be so ungrateful!"
Seeing Kunpeng refuse, Taiyi's eyes flashed with anger. The Eastern Emperor Bell instantly appeared in his hand, and he swung it at Kunpeng.
Clang~ Clang~ Clang~
The bell continued to ring. Space trembled, sending ripples in every direction and stirring up enormous waves. Countless reefs were reduced to ashes.
Kunpeng's expression changed. He brought out a magnificent, exquisite palace and infused it with magical power. It instantly expanded and rushed toward the Eastern Emperor Bell.
Boom!
The enormous collision echoed above the Northern Dark Sea, drawing Nuwa's attention as she arrived at its outskirts. Shen Hongfei hurriedly looked over and saw more than a dozen points of light darting back and forth above the Northern Dark Sea. A trace of excitement flashed through his eyes.
They were actually going to fight. This had to be much more thrilling than the blockbuster movies of his previous life!
With that thought, Shen Hongfei hurriedly urged her, "Mother, go faster!"
Nuwa nodded. She took the Wind-Settling Pearl Shen Hongfei had given her from the Qiankun Fan and infused it with magical power. Gray light immediately appeared, and the laws of wind swirled around her body. Her speed surged, and she transformed into a streak of light racing toward the depths of the Northern Dark Sea.
"Mother, let's stop here."
Shen Hongfei could already see Kunpeng and the others. He hurriedly stopped Nuwa from approaching, afraid of being caught up in the battle. It was better not to interfere rashly in the demon race's affairs.
After Nuwa chose a suitable position, Shen Hongfei finally relaxed and watched with great interest.
Why had she come?
A trace of surprise flashed through Di Jun's eyes. But when he saw Kunpeng flying toward him, he could only suppress his thoughts. He brought out the River Diagram and Luo Shu, then waved them toward Kunpeng. Countless profound auras bloomed and intertwined in the air, forming a scroll that generated a powerful suction force.
"Di Jun, you're going too far!"
Kunpeng dodged while shouting furiously. All the anger in his heart transformed into fighting power. The palace, battered out of shape by the Eastern Emperor Bell, suddenly erupted with dazzling light and struck at the demon sage Bai Ze.
Boom!
Bai Ze struggled to withstand the impact. A trace of blood appeared at the corner of his mouth, but he still managed to stop Kunpeng.
Taiyi seized the opportunity to attack. Flames gathered in his golden eyes, and scorching True Sun Fire emerged, burning toward Kunpeng.
Sizzle~ Sizzle~
The searing flames grazed Kunpeng's body and landed on the surface of the sea, instantly creating a stretch of vacuum.
It really packed a punch. If this could be recorded and released in the future, it would definitely become a super battle blockbuster.
Shen Hongfei watched with growing excitement. He took out a string of crystal grapes surrounded by spiritual aura and stuffed them into his mouth one by one, keeping his eyes fixed on Di Jun and the others as they attacked.
Within his golden-yellow pupils, two Innate Runes spun rapidly. Threads of scorching flame emerged as his Fiery Eyes Golden Gaze operated at full power, swiftly capturing the movements of Di Jun and the others.
Di Jun and the others were all among the strongest beings in the Primordial World. Perhaps he could learn something from their combat experience.
That was what Shen Hongfei thought. But when he saw Taiyi wielding the Eastern Emperor Bell like a brick and smashing Kunpeng into the bottom of the sea again and again, the corner of his mouth twitched. What a waste of a treasure!
Kunpeng was too foolish, wasn't he? Why did he keep trying to break through toward Taiyi and Di Jun? If he found a weaker point and attacked it with all his strength, he might have a chance of escaping.
Shen Hongfei was somewhat disappointed. These people's attacks were far too simple and brutal. The only impressive thing was the "special effects."
Boom!
Another thunderous blast rang out. Enormous waves splashed into the sky, and Kunpeng was once again knocked into the depths of the sea. Strands of True Sun Fire burned across his body, while the surrounding seawater continuously evaporated with a gurgling sound.
Seeing that Kunpeng had not emerged for a long time, Di Jun waved his hand and tucked the River Diagram and Luo Shu into his robes. He descended onto the surface of the sea and said, "Kunpeng, have you made up your mind?"
"Will you submit to the demon race?"
Hearing the voice above the sea, Kunpeng's expression darkened. This was simply too much!
He wanted to rise and fight again, but his injuries were too severe. If he forced himself to attack, it would affect his future breakthrough.
Was he really supposed to submit to Di Jun?
Kunpeng quickly cast aside the thought. Through the seawater, his sinister gaze turned toward Nuwa's direction, and an idea struck him.
Nuwa was a Late-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal. If she helped him, he might have a chance to escape alive today.
Having made up his mind, Kunpeng circulated the remaining magical power in his body and rushed toward the surface. With a splash, he emerged from the water. A flash of black light passed, and his body rapidly expanded. A massive monster resembling both a bird and a fish appeared in the air. Its fleshy wings spread wide, and its entire body blotted out the sky.
What a huge bird!
Seeing Kunpeng's true form, Shen Hongfei was somewhat shocked. He had long known that Kunpeng's body was enormous, but seeing it with his own eyes was an entirely different experience.
Di Jun's expression grew solemn. A hint of ruthlessness flashed through his golden eyes as he prepared to attack again.
"Fellow Daoist Nuwa, Kunpeng begs for your help!"
Kunpeng's pleading voice rang out, startling everyone. Nuwa stared at Kunpeng in surprise, at a loss for what to do. She did not understand why he had sought her out.
Shen Hongfei was also startled. Kunpeng really knew how to read the situation and had chosen to ask Mother for help. But why should they save him? He would never do something that offered no benefits!
Di Jun also halted. His gaze darkened as he looked at Kunpeng, and he found himself unable to attack.
Kunpeng had already asked Nuwa for help, so he had to see what she thought. Otherwise, if he made her even slightly displeased, winning her over in the future would become extremely difficult.
Taiyi withdrew the True Sun Fire and came to Di Jun's side with the Eastern Emperor Bell in his hand, his face ashen. "Elder brother?"
"Let me ask Fellow Daoist Nuwa what she thinks."
Di Jun shook his head and walked over to Nuwa. "Greetings, Fellow Daoist Nuwa."
"May I ask why you have come here? Is it because of Kunpeng?"
Nuwa hurriedly returned the greeting. "Fellow Daoist Di Jun, you needn't be so formal."
"I came here because the child has stayed in Fengqi Mountain for too long and wanted to come out and look around."
"We originally intended to go to the Solar Star, but my elder brother said you weren't there. The child heard that you had come here, so we followed."
"Oh?"
Hearing this, Di Jun glanced at Nuwa's belly. "Child, do you want to save Kunpeng?"
Before Shen Hongfei could say anything, Kunpeng grew anxious. If Nuwa refused to save him, he would certainly die today. He hurriedly called out, "Fellow Daoist Nuwa, if you save me, Kunpeng is willing to become your mount!"
Shen Hongfei's eyes lit up. That's right. Mother was pregnant and it was inconvenient for her to travel. If they could save Kunpeng, traveling would be easier in the future, and they would gain a mid-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal expert for nothing.
No, that wasn't all. Kunpeng would become a Quasi-Saint in the future!
And Kunpeng was so enormous. He ought to make a very stable mount.
With that thought, Shen Hongfei spoke up. "Uncle Di Jun, why are you fighting Uncle Kunpeng?"
Before you continue
