That single wing almost covered the entire sky, piercing through the void and forcibly slicing a spatial passage. Countless figures flew out from it.
Those figures were like towering mountains, yet before those sky-covering wings, they seemed so insignificant.
As soon as those figures appeared, all kinds of roars, screams, and cries erupted across the world, and a fierce aura swept across the world.
"It's the beast clan that has appeared."
Someone exclaimed in surprise. Each huge figure was an ancient beast—dragons, flying phoenixes, divine turtles, wild wolves. Eventually, they formed a sea of beasts, and their forms became indistinguishable.
The Nine Heavens seemed to be pierced through the seabed; the demon beasts surged like seawater, instantly flooding into Purple Flame Heaven. Their numbers were overwhelming, their blood energy overwhelming.
Endless beasts flew out from the void, and upon landing on the ground, they transformed into human form, their eyes scanning the powerful warriors in all directions, their expressions extremely arrogant.
Clearly, they deliberately caused such a commotion and revealed their true forms to intimidate others.
"Kunpeng aura—this is a true Kunpeng." Long Chen ignored the beasts and instead stared at the sky-covering wings, his heart pounding wildly.
"That's right, this is a true Kunpeng. It was cultivated from Kunpeng transformation, possessing endless divine powers and overwhelming magical power. It has already cultivated a trace of chaotic blood, making it extremely powerful." Xia Guhong looked at the sky-covering wings, his eyes filled with a hint of seriousness.
From the mortal realm to the immortal realm, Long Chen had encountered many powerful Peng clan members. On the Tianwu Continent, he had slain the son of the Peng Emperor and in the Tianhong Domain, and had slain Kunwu of the Kunpeng clan.
But Long Chen had never seen a true Kunpeng. The so-called true Kunpeng was a powerful cultivator who cultivated into a roc and achieved the Great Dao.
All the Peng Clan experts Long Chen encountered had achieved their current success thanks to the inherited talents of their ancestors' bloodlines.
Kunpeng, on the other hand, is different. When they are born, they are the most ordinary Kun, though large and fierce, known as the overlords of the water.
But their flesh and blood are the immortal flesh of countless fierce beasts. A single bite of Kunpeng flesh can be equivalent to a thousand years of cultivation and can extend one's lifespan.
Therefore, before Huapeng, Kun was always the target of countless ferocious beasts, and Kun needed to devour these beasts and fight them to improve himself.
It can be said that the transformation from Kun to Peng is a bloody process of slaughter. The beasts want to eat Kun, and Kun eats the beasts. After countless battles and devouring, ninety-nine percent of Kun ultimately die at the hands of the beasts.
Even if Kun survives the bloody growth and ultimately transforms into a roc, it will still undergo the transformation tribulation.
The Huapeng Tribulation is somewhat similar to the Dragon Clan's Hualong Tribulation. The Dragon Tribulation is a coming-of-age ceremony, while the Huapeng Tribulation is a life-and-death tribulation where a fish leaps through the nine heavens.
Kun itself is just a fish, and fish should live in water. From birth to death, it must never leave the water—this is the destiny of the Heavenly Way.
The transformation from Kun to Peng is a process of defying fate and changing fate. Heaven naturally does not allow it, so terrifying punishment is sent to destroy such defiant acts.
When Kun reaches its peak, ninety-nine percent will die; and at the extreme of the Huapeng Tribulation, ninety-nine percent will be struck dead by the heavenly tribulation.
Therefore, a true Kunpeng may not appear even once every few million years. Most of the Kunpeng clan are descendants of the true Kunpeng. Although Kunpeng successfully defies fate and can soar through the nine heavens, it is still constrained by the Heavenly Dao.
Their bloodline is lost with each generation, and the longer the era, the more severe the loss. Many inherited divine abilities are also severed. In short, each generation is worse than the last.
Like other races, there are occasional regressive ancestral bloodlines, and descendants' bloodlines even rival those of their ancestors, but in the Kunpeng clan, this is not possible.
The strongest of the Kunpeng clan must rise step by step from the weakest point, from the lowest point, enduring countless hardships and tribulations without dying, to become truly powerful.
A true Kunpeng is extremely rare; even someone as powerful as Xia Guhong has never seen a real Kunpeng warrior before.
The reason Long Chen could instantly recognize Kunpeng's identity was that as soon as its aura appeared, he sensed its will.
The will of the Kunpeng, like the will of the true dragon, refuses to submit to the constraints of the Heavenly Dao, contends with it, pursues freedom and unrestrainedness, and carries the dominance and pride of killing people who block its path, slaying gods who block it.
The Kunpeng's appearance commanded the heavens, even suppressing the aura previously created by the demon clan. The Kunpeng's aura and will, as soon as it appeared, it was like the Lord of the Nine Heavens descending—arrogant and domineering, untouchable.
As the endless figures in the spatial passage vanished, suddenly the massive wings slashed horizontally.
"Crack, crack, crack...
The massive passage was torn open by blade-like iron wings, splitting heaven and earth in two.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, the void exploded, revealing an even larger passage. Immediately, people saw a unimaginably huge figure fly out from the passage.
Its figure was so enormous, as if a universe was pressing down on it, so vast that it was impossible to see its full form.
After it appeared, its massive figure radiated divine light, finally transforming into a burly middle-aged man with golden wings on his back.
Behind the middle-aged man stood a young man, who also had golden wings on his back. Runes flickered in his eyes, and within those runes was a savage aura.
When they saw the young man behind the middle-aged man, countless prodigies were shocked. This young man was actually a Kunpeng—a true Kunpeng.
"Your formidable rival has appeared." Xia Guhong looked at the young man and said.
Long Chen nodded and said, "This person is extremely strong. The Kunpeng clan truly lives up to its reputation. Only those who don't rely on ancestral bloodline talents and fight their way up step by step from the weak are the true strong." "
Long Chen felt immense pressure from that young man. Since entering the Immortal Realm, this was the first time he had felt such pressure from a powerhouse of the same level.
Just as Long Chen was looking at the young man, the two Kunpeng experts scanned all directions, finally fixing their gaze through the void on Long Chen in the distant tavern.
"Hahaha, very good. I didn't expect to meet the heir of the True Dragon's will, Kuntu. This time, you didn't come in vain." The Divine Venerable-level Kunpeng looked at Long Chen, a satisfied smile appearing on his face as he spoke to the young man behind him.
The man called Kuntu looked at Long Chen and said, "You possess the will of a true dragon, but your essence blood is impure—not the blood of the ancestral dragon, so your strength is limited."
However, the Dragon Clan and my Kunpeng clan are sworn enemies. I won't show mercy just because you're weak—I'll kill you anyway. Long
Chen's expression changed slightly. This Kuntu had such sharp insight, able to see at a glance that his blood essence was impure. Could it be that the Ancestral Dragon he mentioned was a powerful member of the dragon clan?
When he first obtained the true dragon's essence blood, that mysterious dragon clan expert said it was the essence blood of his descendants, and this Kuntu actually saw through it.
Moreover, after obtaining the essence blood, Long Chen also gave some to Xia Chen and Guo Ran, making the purity of the essence blood even lower.
Shocked, Long Chen also carried a trace of anger. He was a peerless powerhouse, and he had his own confidence. That Kuntu looked down from above and specifically wanted to kill him, which made him furious. Whether it was the dragon blood within him or the will of the Dan Emperor, he actually refusedHe stood up on his own.
"Don't be impulsive. Once you enter the Three Thousand Worlds and get my reverse scale, kick him to death."
Suddenly, a long-lost voice echoed in Long Chen's mind, and he nearly jumped up.
