Red Cloud Escapes!

Whoosh!

At that moment, Kunpeng's palm became like a blade-wing, flashing with astonishing lightning. He slashed down at Red Cloud in the void. Crackle! Lightning flashed, cold radiance burst forth, transforming into a river of starlight that surged onward. Countless profound truths of the Great Dao evolved within it!

"Hm?" Red Cloud's expression changed at the sight of this strike. He had never expected the man before him not only to possess profound cultivation, but also such peculiar lightning power. The fierce aura made his robe rustle softly. Without the slightest hesitation, in one-thousandth of an instant, he took a step forward. Like a drifting cloud, his figure shifted with the force of a dragon dancing through a brushstroke, leaving an afterimage in the sky!

This was Red Cloud's innate divine ability—Shifting Transformation!

As the first innate Red Cloud to take form, Red Cloud's speed naturally needed no explanation. Coupled with Shifting Transformation, he became one afterimage after another, drifting around Kunpeng!

Those afterimages moved so swiftly that, in an instant, even truth and falsehood could not be distinguished!

Some pointed with sword fingers, some chopped with fists, some kicked with their legs—there was no end to the variations. Only one was the true body, yet his speed was so great that he could switch at will. If they were neither blocked nor evaded, every afterimage could become his true body and launch an attack!

This divine ability was truly extraordinary. In an instant, Kunpeng was surrounded by endless afterimages!

Crackle! Kunpeng controlled lightning power to cover his entire body. Like agile lightning, it transformed into electric serpents and met Red Cloud's attack head-on!

"Hmph! Useless!" With a soft snort, Red Cloud seemed utterly confident in his attack. His fists and feet struck out, and the lightning surrounding Kunpeng's body immediately scattered with popping sounds!

As the lightning dispersed, a curtain of light suddenly enveloped Kunpeng. A small flag spun rapidly, releasing streams of mysterious radiance that shielded him above his head!

This was a top-grade innate spirit treasure, the Northern Black-Origin Water-Control Flag!

"Hm? A top-grade innate spirit treasure?" Red Cloud's expression changed at once. His fist struck the light curtain, yet it felt as though he had punched cotton—strength with nowhere to go!

"Heh!" Kunpeng chuckled, his eyes filled with mockery. With a sweep of his great hand, like the hand of heaven itself, bang! Red Cloud was directly slapped into the air!

Whoosh!

An afterimage streaked past. Kunpeng swung his great hand again and sent out another palm strike! Red Cloud immediately felt the world spin around him as he was slapped flying into the distance once more!

At this moment, Kunpeng had gone from being the passive party in his battle with Mu Jizi to taking the initiative now. His excitement was easy to imagine!

Humiliation! Humiliation! Naked, undisguised humiliation!

At this moment, Red Cloud was finally enraged. Boundless fury flushed his face red. Seizing an opening, he hurriedly used his innate divine ability and drifted away!

Standing still for a moment, Red Cloud looked at the Northern Black-Origin Water-Control Flag above Kunpeng's head. Though endless rage filled his heart, there was nothing he could do!

After pondering for a while, he turned around and fled toward the Western Realm!

"Er... trying to run?" Kunpeng paused slightly, then curled his lips and took a step!

Screeeech—

A roar that resounded through heaven and earth rang out. Then the sky suddenly darkened as an immense shadow stretching tens of thousands of miles blanketed the entire firmament!

This was Kunpeng's Roc true form! At this moment, as he watched Red Cloud flee, aside from disappointment, he felt only the urge to toy with him!

The next moment, Kunpeng's Roc body spread its enormous wings and soared ninety thousand miles into the sky, hovering in the void as he coldly watched Red Cloud flee!

As a mutated lightning body of the wind attribute, the Roc's speed needed no explanation. Within a small area, his movement speed might not match Red Cloud's, but in terms of flight speed, Red Cloud was no match for him!

Moreover, Red Cloud's cultivation was two minor realms below Kunpeng's. That slight gap gradually widened!

Kunpeng hovered high in the sky, his cold, merciless eyes fixed on the fleeing Red Cloud below!

Screeeech—

With another roar, Kunpeng opened his great mouth. It was as though heaven and earth shook. In an instant, a ripple spread from the space at the corner of his mouth toward Red Cloud below!

Buzz—

At this moment, time and space seemed to have stopped. In one ten-thousandth of an instant, the ripple transformed into a terrifying devouring force and shot toward the fleeing Red Cloud!

Kunpeng's innate divine ability—Devouring!

Whoosh!

Even with Red Cloud's cultivation, the terrifying devouring force stalled him for only one-thousandth of an instant. In the next one-thousandth of an instant, his entire body turned into an afterimage and was drawn close to Kunpeng's great mouth!

At this critical moment, Red Cloud shifted, and an afterimage drifted free. Yet in the blink of an eye, he was pulled back again. This repeated over and over, drawing him closer and closer. Red Cloud simply could not escape Kunpeng's enormous devouring mouth!

At such a moment, Red Cloud truly panicked. Unprecedented terror appeared on his face. Kunpeng's Devouring divine ability happened to restrain him perfectly, and in an instant, the dense shadow of death swept over his heart!

At this moment, his potential finally erupted completely!

Throwing all caution to the wind, he roared as his body transformed. A vast and incomparably dense red cloud suddenly appeared, radiating terrifying innate spiritual energy!

This enormous red cloud was Red Cloud's true body!

The instant the enormous red cloud appeared, it seemed to trail a tail behind it. In the next instant, it was all sucked into Kunpeng's mouth. Only a tiny remnant at its end split off, drifting into the distance and turning into an afterimage that vanished afar like a meteor!

Burp!

Closing his mouth after devouring Red Cloud, Kunpeng suddenly let out a full belch, then exhaled a breath of turbid air from his mouth!

Watching this scene, Mu Jizi was somewhat shocked!

In that instant just now, Kunpeng had used his innate divine ability. Red Cloud, a mid-stage Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal, had not even been able to resist before most of his true body's essence was sucked into Kunpeng's mouth! Such an innate divine ability was truly horrifying!

Taking a step, Mu Jizi ascended into the void. Looking at Kunpeng from afar, he frowned slightly before speaking. "Worthy brother, we should leave quickly. The disturbance caused by that battle just now will surely attract quite a few great divine ability wielders. Though neither of us fears them, there is no need to invite unnecessary trouble!"

"Alright, elder brother!" Kunpeng's true form shifted into human shape. He nodded, though his eyes still held a trace of unfulfilled desire!

The two said no more. With a step, they transformed into shooting stars and departed!

Not long after Kunpeng and Mu Jizi left, three black shadows suddenly shot over from the horizon and stopped where Kunpeng and Red Cloud had fought!

Of the three, one was an old man in white robes, one a middle-aged man dressed in brocade finery, and one a young man in a long robe. The three gazed into the void and frowned. Without saying anything, they transformed into afterimages and departed!

Afterward, several more figures arrived in succession. Without speaking a word, they drifted away...
