Kong Xuan was furious, his black hair flying wildly, his robes fluttering, and his sharp eyes shooting out divine light before disappearing into the void.
"It seems the Great Shang is truly out of options! Even the ruler of a nation is coming here looking for a beating!"
" Little Peacock, you've misunderstood. It's purely because I want to cut in line and use the power of your elders to punish you properly. Otherwise, at least 108,000 more powerful figures would have to wait for you to successfully pass through the trials before you would have the chance to face me directly. You should thank me," King Zhou said with a smile.
Guangchengzi, Duobao, and the others were shocked. King Zhou was quite the smooth talker. Look at Kong Xuan's furious expression; it was quite satisfying.
"Aaaaaah!"
Kong Xuan's angry voice soared into the outer heavens of the Thirty-Three Heavens, transforming into a magnificent and enormous Peacock. Its body was filled with mysterious Dao patterns, and its ancient radiance seemed to pierce through the heavens and earth, suppressing all other brilliance.
"Impotent rage." King Zhou couldn't help but sneer.
Kong Xuan did not directly use the Five-Colored Divine Light, but instead charged forward recklessly, unleashing an astonishing temperature that swept out the Phoenix Flame was approaching the Southern Brightness Li Fire.
Kong Xuan possesses the bloodline of the Feng Huang Clan's royal family. He has always deliberately suppressed his bloodline supernatural powers, skills, and methods in order to avoid being punished by the Deva Path.
After all, the great war between the Kirin, Dragon, and Phoenix clans in the Primordial World caused immense calamity, resulting in heavy casualties and punishment from the Deva Path.
Poor Kong Xuan, although he later learned that it was the Demon Ancestor Luohou's scheme that caused the three races to fight prematurely, never imagined that everything was actually under the control and calculation of the Deva Path.
" King Zhou! I, Kong Xuan, will send you to the Investiture of the Gods first! So that your Great Shang will be leaderless!"
In this world, time seems to have slowed down countless times.
The ordinary generals and soldiers present felt their minds go blank; they had no idea what was happening.
The powerful figures whose cultivation had reached a certain level watched with extremely solemn expressions as they squinted at the first clash between King Zhou and Kong Xuan.
As a member of the royal bloodline of the Feng Huang Clan, Kong Xuan possesses extremely high physical strength. As a Quasi-Sage, his physical strength is comparable to that of Innate Spirit Treasure.
Kong Xuan's plan to kill King Zhou by crashing his head into a wall and then burn him alive did not succeed.
King Zhou's punch split the light and darkness of the two poles of heaven and earth, and the erupting Southern Brightness Li Fire firmly resisted and restrained it, rapidly and violently devouring Kong Xuan's Phoenix Flame.
This was the first time Kong Xuan had experienced the terror of the Southern Brightness Li Fire emanating from his father, First Phoenix.
The Southern Brightness Li Fire possesses the power to incinerate Innate Spirit Treasure!
Many powerful beings suddenly exclaimed in surprise, for they only saw a phantom image of the First Phoenix appear behind King Zhou.
The temperature between heaven and earth rose rapidly, and the surrounding green grass withered and crumbled in an instant. The earth cracked open, and Lie Huo erupted forth.
"Domain!" Guangchengzi's eyes narrowed.
At this moment, King Zhou was surrounded by a Southern Brightness Li Fire Domain spanning tens of thousands of miles, and Kong Xuan, who was at the center of the domain, could directly feel the damage it caused.
"Father!"
A strong sense of resentment welled up in Kong Xuan's heart. This despicable King Zhou was actually able to wield his father First Phoenix's Southern Brightness Li Fire so powerfully that his own Phoenix Flame could no longer pose a threat.
" Little Peacock, you're out of options now! I won't use any magic weapons to bully you, otherwise you might die at my hands with my God-Slaying Spear."
Kong Xuan's heart was filled with gloom, and he thought to himself, "What a despicable and shameless King Zhou! He knows that even if he has a magical treasure, it will be swept away by my Five-Colored Divine Light, yet he still speaks so dignifiedly and grandly on the surface."
" Little Kong."
Suddenly, Kong Xuan felt a tremor in his heart. He heard his father's voice echoing in his mind.
" Little Kong, it's me."
"Father!" At this moment, Kong Xuan felt that the Southern Brightness Li Fire, which had been devouring and destroying his Phoenix Flame, suddenly became warm and comforting.
" Little Kong, I'm sorry to speak to you in this setting. The calamity that befell our clan came too quickly. Little Kong, you didn't fully inherit our clan's legacy, yet your cultivation has still reached such a level. Your father is both gratified and saddened..."
"Father!"
" Little Kong, although our clan's traditions are no longer of much use to you, I hope you can find a successor for them!"
A wisp of Nanming Fire ignored Kong Xuan's protective Qi and entered his body through his pores, condensing into a phoenix within his spiritual sea of consciousness.
" Little Kong, besides that, I have something else to give you."
Kong Xuan spent ten thousand years in his spiritual sea of consciousness, but in reality, it was less than a blink of an eye.
The Southern Brightness Li Fire Domain quickly dissipated, Southern Brightness Li Fire retreated back into King Zhou's body.
"Is that all?" King Zhou asked the Martial Soul, the First Phoenix, within his spiritual sea.
"Young man, I talked a lot with Little Kong. He was bewitched by a Sage and thus helped the Western Zhou. After my guidance and persuasion, he has the idea of switching allegiance to the Great Zhou. But there's one thing you must do: conquer him."
"Conquer, tsk tsk, very good. Then let's fight it out, let me help you, the junior, grow up."
At this moment, Kong Xuan's gaze towards King Zhou changed, and King Zhou's gaze towards Kong Xuan also changed.
The former no longer felt such hatred, anger, and coldness, while the latter's eyes held a hint of excitement and a touch of ecstasy.
Kong Xuan's heart skipped a beat, and he instinctively pulled away abruptly.
" Little Peacock, take this!"
King Zhou wielded the innate killing weapon, the God-Slaying Spear, its sharp edge surging through the void like a black dragon circling low in the sky, occasionally appearing and disappearing from the void.
"What a terrifying aura of killing intent!" Kong Xuan felt a chill run down his spine, goosebumps rising all over his body as he recognized the innate killing treasure, the God-Slaying Spear.
"This artifact belongs to the Demon Ancestor Luohou! Today, I, Kong Xuan, will accept your magical treasure as a token of my clan's interest!"
" Five-Colored Divine Light!"
Five-Colored Divine Light— black, white, blue, yellow, and red—shimmered and leaped from the void like ribbons, like dragonflies skimming the water, creating ripples that enveloped King Zhou.
"Not good!"
The expressions of powerful figures such as Guangchengzi and Daoist Duobao changed drastically.
"If Kong Xuan manages to take the God-Slaying Spear, a supreme innate weapon of slaughter, then Kong Xuan be even more difficult to deal with! The fierce killing intent emanating from the God-Slaying Spear is enough to send chills down my spine, even from this distance, and my magical power is somewhat affected," said Chi Jingzi, one of the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chijingzi Chan Sect, frowning.
"His Majesty should be confident," Grand Preceptor Wen said.
At the same time, Ji Fa, Vajra Arhat, Bodhisattva Cixin, and other powerful figures from the Western Zhou Dynasty revealed knowing smiles.
"Once the Five-Colored Divine Light is unleashed, all magical treasures lose their power and are absorbed before Lord Kong Xuan, even the God-Slaying Spear is no exception."
"That's right." Many people nodded.
Ji Fa was refreshed and full of vigor, seeing that the Great Shang Dynasty was nearing its end.
"What!"
Suddenly, even the most powerful figures from both the Great Shang and Western Zhou dynasties, and even the confident Kong Xuan, were taken aback.
"How is this possible! Why has my Five-Colored Divine Light failed me!" Kong Xuan was horrified.
" Little Peacock, you only know how to play when you have the advantage. What about when you're behind?"
King Zhou withdrew the God-Slaying Spear, swung his left arm in a fist, and an ancient and radiant light erupted, like the resounding toll of a great bell. Brilliant Hanabi burst forth in mid-air, tearing the earth apart and causing the earth's veins and even distant mountains to tremble.
Kong Xuan took the full force of King Zhou 'Imperial Dao Divine Fist, and his internal organs were in great pain, causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood.
"Damn it! I underestimated you!"
Kong Xuan was no longer careless and immediately summoned a magical artifact.
Guangchengzi were bloodshot with rage, Kong Xuan actually unleashed his Heaven-Flipping Seal.
After Kong Xuan used his Five-Colored Divine Light to remove the Heaven-Flipping Seal, the restrictive mark refined by Guangchengzi was also removed.
Kong Xuan refined the Heaven-Flipping Seal.
A phantom image resembling a divine mountain appeared in the sky, its terrifying, overwhelming pressure causing the earth to tremble and the heavens and earth to echo. The Quasi-Sage powerhouse used Innate Spirit Treasure, its power far surpassing that of Great Luo Golden Immortal.
" Heaven-Flipping Seal!"
"Hahaha! Well done!" King Zhou roared, God-Slaying Spear. Its killing intent materialized, unleashing several demonic dragons that shattered the illusory image of the divine mountain.
Kong Xuan was horrified; the Heaven-Flipping Seal in his hand dimmed instantly and almost flew out of his grasp.
Next, the powerful figures here in the Great Shang were filled with resentment and flew into a rage.
Kong Xuan used their various magical treasures to summon King Zhou.
King Zhou was a powerful warrior, God-Slaying Spear in hand, he was even more formidable, breaking through the power of Kong Xuan's magical treasures one by one.
" Little Peacock! Do you have any more magic weapons?!"
Kong Xuan trembled in shock, feeling that King Zhou was not the king of the Great Shang, but a Chaos Gods and Demons.
The thought of running away arose subconsciously.
" Little Peacock, trying to escape? You've bullied so many powerful figures of my Great Shang, and been putting on airs for so long, and you still want to run away! Stay here!"
Although Kong Xuan's Rainbow Transformation Technique was fast, King Zhou had already been on guard and anticipated it by launching a Heaven-Confounding Sash a magical ribbon).
The Innate Spirit Treasure, the Heaven-Confounding Sash, appeared from the void, using its eight directions to seal the heavens and earth, and its gentle binding technique to Entanglement Kong Xuan.
"Hateful!"
" Five-Colored Divine Light!"
However, Kong Xuan suffered another setback this time. His all-powerful Five-Colored Divine Light could not erase the mark of King Zhou's primordial spirit left on the Heaven-Confounding Sash restriction.
" Little Peacock, your Five-Colored Divine Light cultivation is still not up to par!"
King Zhou, having put away his God-Slaying Spear, approached Heaven-Confounding Sash, who Entanglement the Kong Xuan- Binding Ribbon with only his head showing, and unleashed a series of consecutive attacks with the Imperial Dao Divine Fist.
"Ah!"
In the ten minutes that followed, the powerful figures of the Great Shang were greatly relieved, while the morale of the Western Zhou Dynasty plummeted.
"Why is the King of Great Shang so powerful! So brave and skilled in battle! He's practically a god!" The generals and soldiers of the Western Zhou trembled in fear, completely captivated by the Kamui might and valor of King Zhou of Great Shang.
Ji Fa was deeply shocked. The exclamations of the soldiers around him, the suppressed voices of shock at King Zhou, such as "Awesome!" "Damn it!" "Terrifying!" etc., made his face so black that it seemed like oil could drip from it.
"My lord, I fear Lord Kong Xuan is in grave danger."
"I never imagined King Zhou would be so terrifying." The Vajra Arhat trembled, secretly assessing his own abilities.
The Sage Zhunti, who was hidden within the Western Zhou camp, was quite troubled, as the Western Zhou was severely lacking in talent.
"Hmph! Great Shang! King Zhou! Let you be smug for now! Once my scheme unfolds, it's not certain who will have the last laugh! I refuse to believe that the Dao Ancestor will not take care of the West during this Investiture of the Gods Calamity of the Gods!"
These days, because of the appearance of the Demon Ancestor Luohou, the Sage Zhunti: the West has suffered the destruction of countless spiritual veins and earth veins due to the Demon Ancestor Luohou, countless blessed lands and billions of lives have perished tragically, and the cause and effect of the Dao Ancestor Hongjun is also involved.
"I hope what that old man said is true!" Zhunti himself.
