Golden Winged Great Peng Invades, Supreme Treasure Displays Its Might

"This is the sacred ground where our Golden Crow Clan took form. Who are you, sir, to covet the treasures that were born alongside us? Are you seeking a fight to the death with us?!"

Taiyi had no desire to stir up trouble for no reason. He still hoped to settle matters peacefully, so his words were threatening, but he did not make any excessive moves.

Still, out of caution, Taiyi summoned the Chaos Bell and suspended it three feet above his head, protecting his entire body. At the same time, the Mountains and Rivers State Altar Diagram appeared in his hand, surging with Chaos Energy.

"One Innate Supreme Treasure and one Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure..."

Seeing the two treasures on Taiyi's person, radiating a vast aura that shook heaven and intimidated earth, the Golden Winged Great Peng's eyes immediately turned green with greed. His face was full of covetous desire, and his gaze at Taiyi carried undisguised, chilling killing intent.

"In the Primordial World, whenever treasures appear, they have belonged to the virtuous since ancient times. I, Golden Peng, am descended from the Primordial Phoenix Clan, of the orthodox bloodline of the three Innate Divine Beasts. You are merely a scruffy bird that has only just taken form. Your virtue is shallow, yet you dare occupy such a heaven-and-earth treasure?"

"If you know what is good for you, hand over the treasures in your hands at once, and I may spare your life. Otherwise..."

The Golden Winged Great Peng revealed his sharp claws and fangs. The aura of a mid-stage Grand Luo Golden Immortal swept over the heavens and earth as he eyed Taiyi like a tiger stalking prey and threatened him.

"What arrogance! You are nothing but a remnant of the great calamity, like a homeless dog. Instead of hiding beneath the southern Undying Volcano and barely clinging to life, you dare come to the Golden Crow sacred ground and spout such nonsense!"

"If you do not get lost now, then you need not leave at all!"

Taiyi was not a soft-hearted man. His face turned cold as he unfurled the Mountains and Rivers State Altar Diagram in his hand, looking ready to smash someone with his treasure at the slightest disagreement.

"Ant, you are courting death!"

The Golden Winged Great Peng flew into a rage.

He had always considered himself an inheritor of the Phoenix Clan, so he naturally hated it most when others mentioned that dark chapter of the Phoenix Clan's history before him.

Yet Taiyi was clearly rubbing salt into his wounds. How could the Golden Winged Great Peng not be enraged?

"Since you refuse to appreciate my kindness, then be destroyed!"

The Golden Winged Great Peng turned into a blur, pushing his speed to its limit. With his enormous body blotting out the sky and covering the earth, he extended his claws and viciously grabbed at Taiyi.

Like an eagle hunting its prey, he descended as swiftly as lightning.

"Those who bring disaster upon themselves cannot live. Since you dared attack, then stay behind!"

Taiyi rolled open the Mountains and Rivers State Altar Diagram in his hand, and a hazy power of space Swept across, enveloping the Golden Winged Great Peng.

"How laughable."

The Golden Winged Great Peng was dismissive.

If not for his wariness of the Innate Supreme Treasure Chaos Bell hanging above Taiyi's head, he would have crushed this little ant before him long ago.

His sharp claws, stretching tens of thousands of miles, slashed against the Mountains and Rivers State Altar Diagram, erupting with wave after wave of ripples.

Thud, thud.

Under that terrifying force, Taiyi's body was forced back uncontrollably.

Sensing this, Taiyi's expression darkened slightly.

He had only just taken form and had yet to cultivate any divine abilities or spells.

He had only barely stabilized his early-stage Grand Luo Golden Immortal cultivation when a Golden Winged Great Peng, who had lived for countless ages and possessed mid-stage Grand Luo Golden Immortal cultivation, came to provoke him.

If not for the two great treasures in his possession, he would likely have been defeated in the very first exchange.

Hah! Elder Brother Dijun should still be in seclusion. I cannot disturb him.

However, once the battle here causes enough of a commotion, Elder Brother Dijun will certainly sense it and leave his cultivation state.

Then, with the Hetu Luoshu—one of the Ten Great Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures—in Elder Brother Dijun's hands, the combined strength of us two brothers will surely be enough to kill this Great Peng.

Once one entered secluded cultivation, one could not withdraw from it in a short time.

Therefore, Taiyi decided to tangle with this Golden Winged Great Peng for a while first.

Once Elder Brother Dijun emerged from seclusion, the two brothers would join forces and deal with him together.

Relying on the Chaos Bell's ability to repel all techniques, Taiyi forcibly endured the Golden Winged Great Peng's attacks.

From time to time, he froze time and suppressed space, making the Golden Winged Great Peng extremely uncomfortable.

Under the terrifying might of an Innate Supreme Treasure, even with his profound mana, he could not avoid being caught by it.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The bell's toll surged mightily, shaking heaven and earth. Time flowed backward, and space solidified.

Endless Space-Time Laws, under Taiyi's control, Swept across toward the Golden Winged Great Peng.

Relying on the supreme might of the Chaos Clock, Taiyi imprisoned the space around the Golden Winged Great Peng in less than one ten-thousandth of an instant.

The Mountains and Rivers State Altar Diagram in his hand slowly unfolded in the air. With a tremble of the painting scroll, a stream of Chaos Energy capable of annihilating space-time shot forth.

It forced the Golden Winged Great Peng into desperate flight.

"Cowardly rat! If you have the guts, fight me, the Great Peng, in a real battle with blades and spears!"

"What kind of skill is hiding inside that great bell's turtle shell?!"

Though the Golden Winged Great Peng possessed immense divine abilities and mana, he could not even bring seventy percent of his strength to bear. He was so furious that he stamped his feet and let out a shrill roar.

"Phoenix Clan remnant, you are bullying the weak with your greater cultivation, and you still have the nerve to speak? Besides, a companion treasure and its master are one. If you cannot break through it, it only means your cultivation is inadequate."

Taiyi sneered and did not argue with him. He merely continued to unleash the Chaos Clock's power, imprisoning the space within thirty thousand miles around the Golden Winged Great Peng.

Layer upon layer of spatial barriers formed, like cages upon cages, trapping the Golden Winged Great Peng within.

Seizing this opening, before the Golden Winged Great Peng could break free from the spatial prison, Taiyi activated the Chaos Energy within the Mountains and Rivers State Altar Diagram, continuously wearing away the Golden Winged Great Peng's mana.

Their fierce battle erupted with waves of terrifying power capable of Heaven and Earth Annihilation in the outer space of the Sun Star.

Countless violent Solar Truefires surged, stirring up solar storms and chaotic space-time currents spanning millions of miles.

These chain reactions, indirectly triggered by the battle, in turn created even greater spatial rifts.

Pitch-black cracks stretching for hundreds of millions of miles spread across the starfield around the Sun Star, tearing open the heavens and revealing the chaotic, surging Chaos Energy within.

The aftershocks of Taiyi and the Golden Winged Great Peng's battle turned the outer space of the Sun Star

into something like a tablecloth torn open with crack after crack, leaving it battered and ruined.

The upheaval of the Sun Star, sovereign among the stars, immediately drew the attention of countless Innate Saints from nearby starfields.

The Lunar Star.

A special great star not far from the Sun Star.

Like the Sun Star, sovereign among the stars, it had been formed from Great God Pangu's eyes. Together, they regulated the yin and yang energies of the Primordial Universe, granting it a unique status Within the Primordial Era.

At the center of the Lunar Star stood a towering Moon Laurel Divine Tree that pierced the clouds, upon which rested an exquisite and delicate divine palace.

The Moon Goddess Palace, filled with an aura of majesty and sanctity, also carried a gentle, graceful charm belonging to women.

Clearly, this was a divine maiden's palace.

At this moment, two graceful divine women stood silently upon the moon laurel plaza outside the Moon Goddess Palace, gazing toward the distant Sun Star, where a violent Space-Time Storm had erupted.

These two divine maidens were Xihe and Changxi, the two goddesses born from the Lunar Star.

At this moment, the future Sun Goddess Xihe and Moon Goddess Changxi watched the battle taking place upon the Sun Star with faces full of worry.

"Sister Xihe, will the battle erupting on the Sun Star cause those two Venerable Gods to fall?"

Hearing the words of Changxi, her younger sister born from the same source, Xihe comforted her. "The Sun and Lunar Stars are the foundations of the Primordial Wilderness, regulating the yin and yang energies of the Primordial Universe."

"And we Sun Gods and Lunar Gods guide the evolution of yin and yang energy. We are born with Great Destiny, so under normal circumstances, we will not easily fall."

"Besides, Venerable Taiyi's elder brother, Venerable Dijun, has yet to appear. With the two brothers joining forces, they will surely be able to drive away the invader and remain safe."

"Perhaps."

Changxi sighed.

The Sun Star and Lunar Star were closely connected. Their every movement tugged at the sisters' hearts.

Perhaps it was fate, or perhaps merely coincidence.

Just as the two moon goddesses, Xihe and Changxi, were discussing the battle on the Sun Star, Dijun, who had been nowhere to be seen, finally appeared.

"Bold!"

"Where did this petty wretch come from, daring to bully my Second Brother?"

"Die!"

Before he arrived, his killing move had already struck.

An innate killing formation spun into existence and descended upon the Golden Winged Great Peng.
