Obtaining Kunpeng True Blood

Kun Peng King attacked. His giant tail swept out in Kun form, and a black wave filled with boundless Lunar Power appeared from thin air, engulfing the entire world.

The wave was unstoppable. Wherever it passed, space tore apart.

At the same time, Kun Peng King's body transformed again, changing from a giant Kun back into a golden Divine Peng.

With one beat of his wings, he reached the limit of speed. This was the Kun Peng's supreme swiftness.

The Divine Peng became a bolt of golden lightning and appeared before an Immortal from the Foreign Realm. His sharp talons, carrying the power to tear through everything, struck straight at him.

"Already gravely wounded and running on the last dregs of your strength, yet you dare attack first? You're courting death!" the Immortal roared. Black mist surged around him and condensed into a shield before him to block Kun Peng King's attack.

But Kun Peng King lived up to his name as one of the Ten Fiends. Even gravely wounded, he was beyond what a single Immortal could withstand.

Crack!

With a sharp snap, Kun Peng King's enormous talons shattered the black shield. Its fragments dissolved into black mist and vanished.

The Immortal's face changed. Terror filled his eyes, and he tried to flee, but Kun Peng King was too fast. It was already too late.

Kun Peng King's talons tore the Immortal's body in half. Golden divine flames imbued with Solar Power erupted, burning his body and soul clean away without leaving a trace.

It all happened too quickly. By the time the other six Immortals reacted and tried to help, it was too late.

Their faces changed. None had expected Kun Peng King to unleash such a powerful strike while so badly wounded.

But that strike had also cost Kun Peng King dearly, and his aura began to weaken.

"Attack together! Kill him! That strike drained him. He's extremely weak now. Give him no chance!" the Immortal leading them shouted.

The six Immortals attacked at once, each unleashing a terrifying divine ability at Kun Peng King.

Black lightning, incomparably sharp Sword Qi, blade light that could sever anything, flames that burned the void...

For a moment, heaven and earth changed color, and the sun and moon lost their light. The entire world was engulfed by the radiance of their divine abilities.

In Divine Peng form, Kun Peng King became a streak of golden light, weaving through the dense attacks. But several still struck him, leaving wounds deep enough to expose bone.

Golden blood splashed through the air. One drop flew toward Li Changqing.

The drop was only the size of a fist, yet it held terrifying power. Its aura alone made Li Changqing's heart pound.

He felt his soul tremble, as if that overwhelming aura would crush it in the next instant.

At the last possible moment, just as Li Changqing was ready to accept his fate...

A gentle force wrapped around him and blocked the terrifying drop of golden blood.

Kun Peng King had intervened.

Kun Peng King looked down at Li Changqing, who was as tiny as an ant on the ground.

His gaze was profound, piercing endless time and space as though he could see through past and future.

Under that gaze, Li Changqing felt every experience of his life laid bare. He had no secrets before Kun Peng King.

Kun Peng King's gaze finally settled on Li Changqing's soul.

There, Kun Peng King saw endless worlds and endless reaches of time and space. He saw the darkness of the future.

"An interesting soul..." Kun Peng King murmured, surprise and puzzlement in his voice.

"In all the ages, I've never seen a soul with such an unusual nature. Unbound by the world's karma, existing beyond the Heavenly Dao. Perhaps you are the one who can change everything?"

He hesitated. Resolve flashed in his deep eyes, and he made his decision.

Kun Peng King opened his mouth and released a dazzling drop of golden blood.

This blood was special: blood from Kun Peng King's heart. It carried no terrifying aura. Instead, it radiated warmth.

The drop of true blood held the imprint of Kun Peng King's Dao, the essence of all his cultivation.

Whoosh!

The drop of true blood sank into Li Changqing's forehead.

Warmth spread through his body, and his injuries healed in the blink of an eye. At the same time, a flood of knowledge poured into his mind: the complete Kunpeng Method.

Another power, impossible to describe, merged with his soul. Through it, Li Changqing understood what world he was in and could understand its language.

He had actually crossed into the Perfect World. Worse, the battlefield before him was unmistakably the scene of the Foreign Realm's invasion of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths at the end of Immortal Ancient.

And this Kun Peng was Kun Peng King, one of the Ten Fiends.

The original story had never recorded how Kun Peng King died, but judging by what was happening, he had most likely perished under the Immortals' siege!

Li Changqing's heart sank. He was only an ordinary person. He had no way to influence a battle on the level of an Immortal King.

Once Kun Peng King died, the Immortals from the Foreign Realm would surely notice someone as out of place as him.

What awaited him then would probably be a fate worse than death.

"Child," Kun Peng King's voice sounded in Li Changqing's mind, tinged with weariness.

"This drop of my blood contains my entire legacy. I give it to you now in the hope that, when the darkness comes, you will protect our Nine Heavens and Ten Earths."

"Remember, you must survive. Become strong enough..."

As his words faded, an aura more powerful than ever erupted from Kun Peng King.

His body began to burn. Golden flames soared skyward, illuminating the entire world.

"Foreign Realm scum, die with me!"

The six Immortals jolted in alarm. "He's going to blow himself up! Run!"

But it was too late.

Boom!

With a world-shaking roar, Kun Peng King blew himself up.

Terrifying energy swept across heaven and earth like an ocean wave. Golden light swallowed everything.

The explosion, filled with Kun Peng King's lifetime of cultivation, instantly tore the six Immortals apart.

Their bodies turned to dust. Even their supposedly indestructible souls caught fire in the golden flames and burned away completely, leaving nothing behind.

The earth-shaking blast also flattened the entire battlefield.

At its center, a massive Spacetime Black Hole formed.

The black hole spun, radiating a powerful pull. Broken stones, the severed limbs of unknown creatures, even fragments of shattered stars were drawn into it.

Li Changqing was no exception. Like a fallen leaf, he was swept inside.

This time, the turbulent currents of spacetime tore violently at his body. His flesh collapsed and vanished inch by inch. He felt pain beyond anything he had ever known, then lost consciousness.

Just before his soul could dissipate, the drop of Kunpeng True Blood in his mind suddenly burst with dazzling golden light.

The light formed a cocoon around Li Changqing's fading soul.

Mysterious runes flowed across the cocoon's surface. They held back the turbulent currents of spacetime and protected his soul.
