The Three-Headed Peacock could not help sending out furious waves of spiritual sense:
"Three-Headed Demon Phoenix! You've always held yourself above everyone, never giving any of your peers a second glance. Now you're bringing outsiders from beyond our borders to slaughter your own kind in the Eastern Continent Mountain Range?!"
The Six-Headed Demon Phoenix raised his noble, reserved heads, demonic qi swirling around them:
"I, the Six-Headed Demon Phoenix, have acknowledged my lord as my master! I only want one Peacock Feather from you, not your life! Hand over one of your life-bound spiritual treasures, a Peacock Feather, and go back to your peacock nest. Otherwise, don't say I didn't warn you!"
Whatever else might be said, the Six-Headed Demon Phoenix actually managed to deliver such utterly shameless words with righteous grandeur before his own kin. For a moment, he truly lowered the floor of Lin Tian's understanding of shamelessness.
Lin Tian, who had formed a human shape out of Nine Nether Vine, stood majestically on the Little Beast Emperor's nine-zhang-long back with his hands behind him.
He revealed none of his divine abilities or magical treasures.
And the aura he gave off was only at the Middle Great Unity Golden Immortal Stage.
Earlier, though.
The Eastern Continent's Seventy-Two Fierce Beasts had already witnessed Lin Tian overpowering the Six-Headed Demon Phoenix and the Demon Phoenix then surrendering to the vine and beast.
However.
This was what the Eastern Continent's Seventy-Two Fierce Beasts believed:
The Six-Headed Demon Phoenix merely wanted to lure the vine and beast into his lair, the territory of the Demon Phoenix Tribe.
Then he would refine the vine and beast into the Six-Headed Demon Phoenix's own mount and Spirit Treasure.
And earlier.
When the Demon Phoenix brought Lin Tian and the Little Beast Emperor into the Eastern Continent's mountain forests, the seventy-two Fierce Beasts had scattered like birds and beasts, not because they truly feared Lin Tian and the Little Beast Emperor behind him.
They had all been putting on an act for Lin Tian and the Little Beast Emperor.
Among the seventy-two Fierce Beasts, the one who most enjoyed watching a show was this very Three-Headed Peacock, whose divine ability the Six-Headed Demon Phoenix had suppressed.
Before the Nine-Headed Demon Phoenix suppressed his divine ability.
The Three-Headed Peacock had still been full of enthusiasm, eager to keep the act going with the Nine-Headed Demon Phoenix.
But now, the Three-Headed Peacock realized things were not so simple. Panic suddenly rose in his heart, and he stammered to the Six-Headed Demon Phoenix:
"Demon Phoenix, are you fucking serious?!"
At that moment, the Six-Headed Demon Phoenix nearly laughed in exasperation at the Three-Headed Peacock.
He grumbled inwardly, I nearly died under that Nine Nether Vine's terrifying, crushing pressure just now.
That pressure felt like the Myriad Heavens World crashing down on my head. Try it yourself and you'll understand. You still think I'm joking?
His six demonic phoenix heads suddenly swayed!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The Six-Headed Demon Phoenix pushed his speed to the limit.
In an instant.
He appeared before the Three-Headed Peacock.
One of his heads slowly extended and plucked the most dazzling Peacock Feather, the one shining with the most wondrous light, from the very center of the Three-Headed Peacock's tail fan!
After plucking the Three-Headed Peacock's Peacock Feather, the Six-Headed Demon Phoenix did not release him immediately.
Instead, one of his heads curled forward like a vine, then swept the Three-Headed Peacock, who was frozen in midair, into the Six-Headed Phoenix's Purple Mansion Space.
As a Peak Supreme Golden Immortal, the Six-Headed Demon Phoenix had six great worlds within his body.
Every creature of the Primordial World that reached Peak Supreme Golden Immortal would possess such Myriad Heavens World spaces.
Within their personal Myriad Heavens Worlds, Great Unity Golden Immortals whose divine abilities and magical power had reached their peak could even traverse space and time, leaving their own distinct Dao markers in different times and places.
Of course.
That was an ability available only to Peak Supreme Golden Immortals fully equipped with divine abilities, magical power, and cultivation methods.
Innate Fierce Beasts such as the Demon Phoenix and the Eastern Continent's Seventy-Two Fierce Beasts had reached the peak of the Great Unity Golden Immortal Realm through fortunate chances, relying solely on their innate divine abilities and Spirit Treasures.
Their understanding of time and space was extremely shallow.
As for the ability to range through boundless space and time and plant Dao markers within the Myriad Heavens Worlds opened upon entering the Great Unity Golden Immortal Realm.
Essentially none of the Eastern Continent's Seventy-Two Fierce Beasts could accomplish it.
To them, their Myriad Heavens Worlds were merely enormous storage spaces.
After the Three-Headed Peacock was swept into the Six-Headed Demon Phoenix's Myriad Heavens World.
The Six-Headed Demon Phoenix held the Peacock Feather, which radiated strange five-colored light, in his beak.
Flapping his wings, which spanned more than ten zhang, he slowly hovered before Lin Tian.
Then, with utmost respect, he presented the Peacock Feather to Lin Tian:
"My lord, although the Three-Headed Peacock ranks sixty-ninth among the Eastern Continent's Seventy-Two Fierce Beasts in cultivation and ability, far below my own rank of fifty-sixth."
"His life-bound spiritual treasure ranks among the top ten of the Eastern Continent's Seventy-Two Fierce Beasts!"
"With further shaping and meticulous refinement, this Peacock Feather could become the supreme Houtian Spiritual Treasure of our Eastern Continent."
Maintaining his reserved composure, Lin Tian accepted the Peacock Feather offered by the Six-Headed Demon Phoenix.
When Lin Tian's Nine Nether Vine touched the brilliantly colored Peacock Feather, which contained an inexhaustible Origin of brushing away and devouring, something stirred faintly in his heart.
Originally.
He had intended to devour the Peacock Feather into his racial bloodline the moment he accepted it.
After all, he did not want these seventy-two Fierce Beasts' innate spiritual treasures.
He merely wanted the eastern continent of the Primordial World to acknowledge his innate bloodline.
Only then could Lin Tian absorb the spiritual qi of the Eastern Continent and the essences of its sun and moon while traveling toward Mount Buzhou on the central continent.
But at that moment.
When his Nine Nether Vine touched the Peacock Feather and his spiritual sense entered it.
Lin Tian's mind and will seemed to enter a sea of chaos where the five elements alternated.
It was a void where nothing could be distinguished as true or false, real or illusory. Deep within it, an incomparably majestic innate mystery flickered in and out of sight, capable of brushing away all things in the world and instantly destroying any spiritual sense or will that touched it.
A moment later.
Lin Tian withdrew his spiritual sense from the Peacock Feather, inwardly shaken and overjoyed!
I really never expected this lackey, the Six-Headed Demon Phoenix, to bring me such a top-tier treasure on his very first move!
"Devoured one strand of five-element brushing-away qi. Evolution Points increased by 4,700." "Devoured one strand of five-element azure nether qi. Evolution Points increased by 800."
For a brief moment, system notifications rang continuously through Lin Tian's sea of consciousness.
Lin Tian could not help feeling utterly delighted.
He took the Peacock Feather, a top-tier innate spiritual treasure material shimmering with the five colors of the five elements.
And stored it within the Myriad Heavens Worlds in the thirty-six divine leaves of his Nine Nether Vine.
Then he sent a message through spiritual sense to the Six-Headed Demon Phoenix:
"Keep leading the way."
