Kunpeng Method

"Tomorrow, I'll have you kill your way into Spirit Hall!"

When Jiang Li said this, his tone was domineering, yet full of confidence.

Golden Light Eagle and Er Ming exchanged a glance, both of them feeling their blood surge with excitement!

What kind of place was Spirit Hall?

Less than an hour ago, the two of them had personally fought their way in and back out.

There were seven Titled Douluo. Golden Crocodile Douluo was Level 98, Bibi Dong was unfathomably powerful, and in the Worship Hall was an aura that had yet to make a move but still made one's scalp crawl.

Even an ordinary Titled Douluo wouldn't dare claim they could charge into that dragon's lair and come out unscathed.

Yet Jiang Li had said Xiao Wu would go tomorrow, when the enemy was at their most vigilant, and storm in for another round of killing.

Was this the way the Star Dou Forest's taboo beings did things? That was incredible!

Golden Light Eagle especially felt this way.

He had scraped by in the Star Dou Forest for over ten thousand years. He wasn't strong to begin with, and had survived entirely thanks to his quick wits. He could practically smell the benefits on instinct.

Earlier, it had been Myriad Beast Heaven Tilt, a battle on a massive scale. It was understandable that a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast like him had charged at the front.

But things were different now.

There would be only three of them, at most, heading to Spirit Hall.

If the three of them were going to storm Spirit Hall, surely he wouldn't be expected to join in with the strength of a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast?

This was a job protecting the little princess at close range!

The reward was finally coming, wasn't it?

Golden Light Eagle's little mental abacus clacked away, though his face remained respectfully composed.

Jiang Li's gaze swept over him and paused for a moment.

"You little eagle," Jiang Li said, the corner of his mouth lifting slightly. "You're pretty clever."

Golden Light Eagle's feathers stood on end, and then his heart leaped with joy.

So what if he'd been seen through?

The great one was praising his cleverness!

That meant his thoughts hadn't angered the great one. On the contrary, he'd earned approval for guessing what the great one had in mind!

All that blood, sweat, and danger he'd just endured hadn't been for nothing. The benefits were finally coming!

Golden Light Eagle didn't even dare to fly. Filled with the utmost reverence for Jiang Li, he set his sturdy claws in motion and trotted straight over.

A Ten-Thousand-Year Golden Light Eagle with a wingspan of several yards, now tucking in his wings and trotting along in tiny steps, looked rather comical.

But Golden Light Eagle didn't feel the least bit embarrassed.

In the presence of a taboo existence, even crawling over would be an immense honor.

Jiang Li held out his hand, and an ancient book appeared in his palm from thin air.

The book shone with a strange luster somewhere between gold and green. There were no words on its cover, only the faint silhouette of a divine bird appearing and disappearing between its pages.

The bird spread its wings like clouds hanging from the sky; when it entered the sea, it transformed into a fish large enough to swallow a ship. It was none other than the ancient divine beast Kunpeng, long believed extinct throughout the myriad worlds.

This technique was the Kunpeng Method Jiang Li had obtained from a sign-in reward.

It was suitable for fish-type Soul Beasts and flying-type Soul Beasts, allowing them to gain a trace of Kunpeng's bloodline abilities.

For a flying Soul Beast like Golden Light Eagle, the technique was practically made for him.

Jiang Li casually opened the book. A beam of intertwined green and golden light shot out from its pages and went straight into Golden Light Eagle's forehead.

Golden Light Eagle's body abruptly stiffened.

Immediately afterward, the Soul Power in his body churned violently, like boiling oil set alight.

No one dared even breathe loudly. Only Er Ming subconsciously took half a step back.

He knew this feeling all too well.

Not long ago, when the Demon Emperor Bone entered his body, he had experienced something similar.

It was the feeling of a force far beyond what his body could bear forcibly reshaping him. Every pore burned, and every bone screamed.

The pain was real.

But the reward that came afterward was just as astonishing.

An hour later.

Golden Light Eagle's feathers suddenly burst outward.

The dark-golden feathers that had been battered into tatters during the battle in Spirit City now peeled away, one after another, like a cicada shedding its skin. In their place grew a brand-new set of feathers.

The new feathers shone with a strange hue somewhere between gold and green. A faint green halo flowed along the edge of each one, as if they were wrapped in a thin layer of sky.

Golden Light Eagle threw back his head and let out a piercing cry that shattered the clouds.

A terrifying aura burst from his body and soared into the sky. Within a hundred miles, flying Soul Beasts collapsed to the ground almost simultaneously, trembling in fear.

It was suppression originating deep within their bloodlines.

Kunpeng, ancestor of all birds and progenitor of all fish.

Even a trace of Kunpeng's bloodline abilities was enough to give Golden Light Eagle a natural kingly presence before every flying Soul Beast.

Golden Light Eagle suddenly spread his wings.

His wingspan was still three yards, but the moment he opened them, the space around him visibly warped.

He gave his wings a gentle flap.

The next instant, he appeared a hundred yards away.

There was no gust of wind.

No afterimage.

Not even the slightest fluctuation of Soul Power.

It was pure displacement, almost like teleportation.

Extreme speed!

A vast flood of new information surged into Golden Light Eagle's mind: the abilities granted to him by the Kunpeng Method.

In this form, his speed had reached an almost unreasonable level.

Even a Titled Douluo renowned for speed would be left choking on his dust if he went all out.

And that wasn't all.

Golden Light Eagle focused his thoughts, and the three feathers at the tip of his tail detached on their own, hovering beside him.

Those three feathers were a deep, dark gold. Faint black halos shimmered at their tips, as if they could swallow the light around them.

Shadow Pin.

This was the second ability the Kunpeng Method had granted Golden Light Eagle.

He could use these three special feathers to pin an enemy's shadow. Once the shadow was pinned, the enemy's body couldn't move a fraction.

Whether chasing or fleeing, anyone caught by Shadow Pin would find no escape, above or below.

Even better, this ability and Er Ming's Thunderlight Fist were a match made in heaven.

Er Ming's explosive power from the front was enough to stand toe-to-toe with a Level 98 Titled Douluo. But if his enemy tried to run, his brute strength might not be enough to catch up.

Now, with Shadow Pin, Er Ming could simply swing his fists. His enemy wouldn't even get the chance to flee.

Before Golden Light Eagle could even celebrate, a third wave of information surged into his mind.

His dark-golden pupils suddenly contracted.

He sensed that his Kunpeng bloodline concealed yet another form.

A form completely different from his flying form.

He could transform his wings into fins, his feathers into scales, and his sky-soaring body into a giant fish swimming through the depths.

In that form, his speed would decrease somewhat, but he would gain an even more terrifying ability.

Devour.

Devour all things!

Whether it was a Soul Power attack or a physical attack, anything that fell into the mouth of his transformed giant fish would be devoured completely and converted into nourishment for himself.

Kunpeng soared through the sky as a Peng, and entered the sea as a Kun.

This was the true might of an ancient divine beast!
