183: The real Kunpeng Nest

A gaze pierced through the endless void.

It came from beyond the Nine Heavens, indifferent and ancient, carrying the vicissitudes of overseeing the changing of eras.

The gaze swept across the Hun Kun Academy, paused for a moment on the sleeping top-tier True Immortal, and then fell upon the massive Kunpeng Nest that obscured the sun and moon.

A moment later, the gaze quietly vanished as if it had never appeared.

Deep within the endless Void Realm.

Su Xuanchen's brow twitched slightly.

He sensed it.

Within that gaze was a sliver of pure, ultimate Chaos Immortal Qi.

"That old fossil from the Immortal Palace?"

A cold glint flashed in Su Xuanchen's eyes.

Aside from the Ancient Ancestor of the Immortal Palace, who had lived for untold eras and was always stirring up trouble behind the scenes, he couldn't think of anyone else.

He was about to tear through the Void Realm and track that aura.

Suddenly.

Su Xuanchen's figure paused, and the eternal indifference on his face was instantly replaced by a surge of ecstasy.

Bloodline resonance!

It's Lu Qingchan! And Chu Yue!

They... are about to give birth!

The surprise came so suddenly that this supreme existence, who could destroy a great world with a single thought, was actually at a loss.

"Hahahaha!"

Su Xuanchen laughed heartily towards the sky, his voice filled with the joy and anticipation of becoming a father.

Old thing of the Immortal Palace, I'll let you live for a few more days.

With one step, he appeared beside the Dragon Girl.

The Dragon Girl was boredly watching the group of ant-like Prodigies below; she was startled by Su Xuanchen's sudden appearance.

"Husband?"

"Let's go, back to the Su Family."

Without a word, Su Xuanchen pulled her by her slender waist, his voice carrying an uncontrollable smile.

Blushing at his sudden intimacy, the Dragon Girl was confused but nodded obediently.

She remembered something, stole a glance at Su Xuanchen, then quickly lowered her head with a shy expression.

"Husband, about... the Sea God Empress..."

She stammered, ultimately not daring to explain the details.

Endless Sea Region, Sea God Palace.

Inside the crystal palace, the Sea God Empress learned the good news from the Su Family; her usually dignified and cold face was filled with uncontrollable shyness and joy.

Beside her, a young girl with tender dragon horns who looked only five or six years old stood with her hands on her hips, looking serious.

"I want to go too!"

The Dragon Ancestor spoke in a childish voice, yet her tone brooked no argument.

"I want to go see those two little rascals."

The Sea God Empress was both embarrassed and anxious, but she could do nothing about this ancestor with a terrifyingly high seniority, so she could only let her be.

Meanwhile, inside the Kunpeng Nest.

This was a true Blessed Land.

The Immortal Qi was so dense it had transformed into a physical spiritual mist, drifting through the air.

On the ground, stalks of Heavenly Medicines that had long been extinct in the outside world swayed in the wind, emitting an alluring fragrance.

Clear Spiritual Springs flowed gurglingly, and within the spring water, even Dao runes were bobbing.

However, clashing with this paradise-like scene was the pervasive killing intent.

Broken skeletons were scattered everywhere.

Some came from Primeval Demon Gods, some from Ancient Demon Emperors, and there were even several Immortal Corpses shrouded in undying immortal light!

They were all experts slain by the Kunpeng in the past; their lingering resentment after death transformed into wisps of undying killing intent, wandering this space.

With the slightest carelessness, one's Dao would vanish and they would perish.

"Kill! This Nine-Leaf Immortal Ganoderma is mine!"

"Get lost! Take one more step and you die!"

Upon entering the Secret Realm, after a brief moment of shock, the Prodigies from all sides began killing each other for the treasures scattered everywhere, their eyes bloodshot.

Blades flashed and swords shadowed as techniques roared.

Cultivators constantly fell with screams, their blood staining this immortal land red.

When top immortal clan successors like the Successor of the Immortal Palace and the Gu Family Saint joined the fray, the scene became even more intense.

They appeared humble and polite on the surface, but in reality, each was more ruthless than the last, clearing an area of treasures in an instant.

"Wow! So many treasures!"

Su Qingying looked at those brilliant Heaven And Earth Treasures, her eyes widening as she pulled on Su Changge's sleeve, eager to try.

"Su Qingying, let's go grab some too!"

"Don't move!"

Su Changge grabbed her and pulled her behind her, her expression solemn.

"Something's not right!"

Just as she finished speaking.

"Boom—!!!"

A world-shaking explosion came from the ground beneath everyone's feet!

The entire space trembled violently as if it would collapse at any moment.

A terrifying aura, so powerful it suffocated everyone, erupted from deep underground!

*Crack!*

The ground split open.

A hideous creature a hundred zhang tall, composed entirely of white jade-like skeletons, burst out from the soil!

It held a Bone Blade polished from a spine, and within its hollow eye sockets burned two clumps of ghostly blue Soul Fire.

Saint King!

A Skeletal True Spirit comparable to a Saint King!

"Roar—!"

It let out a silent roar towards the sky, its terrifying pressure sweeping through the area like a tsunami!

Immediately following that.

"Crack! Crack! Crack!"

Dozens of Saint-level True Spirits, also composed of skeletons, crawled out from underground, surrounding all the Prodigies.

It happened so suddenly!

"Ah!"

One Prodigy didn't even have time to react before his Divine Soul was crushed on the spot by that pressure, turning him into a pile of mashed meat.

*Pfft!*

Even the Successor of the Immortal Palace had his blood and Qi roiling from the sudden impact, his face turning pale as he suffered a significant internal injury.

In that single instant, dozens of Prodigies were swallowed and crushed!

The entire scene fell dead silent.

The surviving Prodigies looked at that Saint King-level True Spirit, which resembled a demon god, with nothing but endless fear in their eyes.

"Quasi... Quasi-Immortal King..."

Some knowledgeable older Cultivators watching through the Water Mirror outside spoke with trembling voices.

"This Saint King-level True Spirit... in life... was definitely a Quasi-Immortal King level existence!"

"Only the Kunpeng could have slain it!"

An even weirder scene occurred.

As the True Spirits revived, the surrounding immortal land began to shatter piece by piece.

Those "Heavenly Medicines" and "Spiritual Springs" that everyone had been frantically fighting over actually turned into puddles of foul-smelling corpse water before everyone's eyes, emitting a nauseating stench.

Illusions!

Everything was an illusion!

The so-called treasures were actually false images manifested from the decaying corpses of creatures swallowed by the Kunpeng!

*Barf...*

One Prodigy, remembering that he had just drunk a mouthful of "Spiritual Spring" to fight for an "immortal medicine," bent over and began vomiting violently on the spot.

Just as everyone was in shock, disgust, and fear.

Someone discovered with horror.

Those dozens of Saint-level Skeletal True Spirits did not immediately begin a massacre.

They actually knelt down in unison towards one direction.

As if worshipping their king.

Everyone looked in the direction they were kneeling.

At the end of that shattered immortal land, a massive nest constructed of Jianmu and shrouded in Chaos Qi was quietly floating in mid-air.

That place was the real Kunpeng Nest!

After the dead silence.

Came even more frantic greed!

"The Legacy! The Kunpeng Treasure Art is right there!"

"Charge in!"

The Prodigies, who had just experienced a life-and-death crisis, did not retreat; instead, they were blinded by the supreme Legacy.

Feverish light flickered in their eyes, and their desire to seize the Legacy grew even stronger.
