Chapter 114: Tianhuang Halberd, Kunpeng Treasure Technique!
"If this person commits murder in public and is not killed, where will the dignity of my Sea God Island remain?" That king was unwilling to accept it.
However, the old woman's murky eyes were fixed firmly on Liu Shen's back. Then, in a hoarse voice, she said,
"This woman is unfathomable."
"There are too many powerful experts on land now. All the major overlords are watching like tigers eyeing their prey."
"If we act now and end up mutually injured, it will only allow others to reap the benefits."
"But…"
At this point, the old woman let out a sinister laugh.
"As long as we enter the Kunpeng Nest, the environment there is complex, filled with layers of restrictions."
"At that time, using the advantage of the terrain, it won't be too late to kill her."
Hearing this, the king could only suppress the anger in his heart, glare fiercely at Liu Shen, and then retreat.
At the same time, the Venerable-level experts from various factions who witnessed this scene all grew solemn.
"Killing a peak Inscription Realm expert in a single glance without even using a Treasure technique…"
The Human Emperor of the Stone Kingdom sat on his war chariot, lightly tapping the armrest with his fingers. A trace of wariness flashed in his golden eyes. "This woman is a formidable opponent."
"Remember her. If we encounter her in the nest, do not be careless."
Meanwhile, within the Heavenly Divine Mountain camp,
the Venerable in purple robes narrowed his eyes and said softly to Yun Xi beside him, "Yun Xi, do you see that person?"
"Once inside the Kunpeng Nest, try to avoid her."
"Grandfather, is she even stronger than you?" Yun Xi asked, equally astonished.
Her beautiful eyes couldn't help but linger on Liu Shen a few more times, and incidentally, she also noticed the Little One behind Liu Shen, carefree and chewing on roasted fish.
…
On the other side, atop a smooth jade boat, the Witch of the Sky Severing Sect stood barefoot at the bow. Smiling mischievously, she transmitted her voice to Yuechan not far away:
"Sister, who do you think will seize the greatest fortune this time?"
"That arrogant old spider?"
"Or the Human Emperor?"
"Or perhaps those ancient beings hidden in the shadows who have yet to act?"
Fairy Yuechan remained dressed in snow-white robes, ethereal and transcendent.
However, upon hearing her rival's words, she merely glanced at her and said nothing more.
Just as the witch pouted her pink lips, preparing to retort, a violent tremor suddenly came from beneath her feet.
Immediately after, the ancient Kunpeng Nest floating above the sea let out a tremendous roar!
Even the entrance of the nest, which had remained sealed for countless ages, had its already half-collapsed restrictions completely shattered at this moment, turning into a rain of light that dissipated into the air.
Right after that, a streak of black light, like an ancient black dragon, burst forth violently from the depths of the cracked nest, piercing straight into the heavens!
It was a broken halberd!
Though incomplete, with only the shaft and half of the blade remaining, it was shrouded in dense, almost tangible chaos energy.
Tianhuang!
Kunpeng's former battle weapon!
"That's the legendary Tianhuang Halberd!"
"My heavens! Even though it's incomplete, it's still an unparalleled supreme treasure!"
"Kunpeng's weapon? If obtained, it would be enough to suppress the luck of an entire sect!"
In an instant, the crowd went mad.
Countless cultivators, their eyes red, rode their treasures like moths to a flame, charging toward the broken halberd.
"It's mine!"
An Array Formation Realm Marquis roared, extending a massive spiritual power hand to seize it.
However—
"Buzz!"
The broken halberd merely trembled slightly. It did not actively attack, only releasing a trace of its natural weapon pressure.
"Pfft!"
The Marquis at the front, along with thousands of cultivators behind him attempting to compete, were instantly shaken until blood burst from their seven orifices and their bodies cracked.
In a single exchange, they fell like dumplings into the sea below, staining a vast area of water red.
Although this scene caused the frenzied crowd to calm down slightly, it was only for a brief moment.
"A treasure has spirit. Only the virtuous are worthy of possessing it!"
"Charge! Enter the Kunpeng Nest!"
At the scene, someone suddenly shouted.
Since the halberd could not be subdued, seize the techniques inside!
"Boom!"
As the words fell, the Human Emperor of the Stone Kingdom made his move.
Nine flood dragons pulled his chariot, crushing through the sky, directly carving a bloody path and rushing into the entrance of the Kunpeng Nest.
"Hiss!"
Not far away, the Golden Demon Spider of Demon Spirit Lake was unwilling to fall behind, its eight legs slicing through the void as it followed closely.
"This Kunpeng Nest is the sacred land of our sea race. You land-dwelling insects dare to covet it?!"
On another side, the old woman of Sea God Island roared. The cane in her hand instantly transformed into a ten-thousand-zhang-long sea serpent, stirring up monstrous waves in an attempt to block the human cultivators.
"Scram!"
Facing the old woman's domineering stance, the elder from Heavenly Divine Mountain shouted loudly, sacrificing a purple bone seal that erupted with dazzling divine light, colliding with the sea serpent.
For a time, countless experts surged toward the direction of the Kunpeng Nest.
Everywhere, there were shouts of battle and flashes of Treasure techniques.
Even Liu Shen, who was leading the Little One and Qian Renxue, encountered numerous attacks like moths rushing into a flame.
However, without exception, before they could even touch Liu Shen, they exploded midair.
Soon, Liu Shen led the two of them smoothly into the Kunpeng Nest without obstruction.
After entering the nest, the scene before them changed instantly.
This was no longer the dark and dim sea outside, but a strange small world.
The sky was crimson, as if dyed by blood, and the ground was covered with bones.
There were enormous beast bones like mountains, as well as crystal-clear human bones, scattered everywhere, yet devoid of any vitality.
"So this is the Kunpeng Nest."
Qian Renxue looked at the skeletons beneath her feet, their ages unknown, and felt deeply shaken.
These remains had undoubtedly belonged to super experts in life. Even after countless years of death, the aura they emitted still made her scalp tingle.
"Wow! Is that a divine medicine?"
Suddenly, the Little One's sharp eyes spotted something and pointed toward a withered cliff in the distance.
There, a small crimson plant was rooted within a crack in the rock, emitting an enticing fragrance.
"That is Kunling Grass. It was born after being stained with Kunpeng's blood. It is a great tonic," Liu Shen explained.
However, before the Little One could rejoice—
"Boom!"
The space ahead suddenly split open. Immediately after, a large hand covered in black hair reached out directly toward the grass the Little One had discovered.
"Such a good thing—it's mine!"
It was a Venerable from some unknown faction who had rushed in amidst the chaos, attempting to seize the opportunity.
"Roar!"
But just as his hand was about to touch the divine grass, a skeleton beneath the withered cliff suddenly moved.
It was a tiger skeleton that had long lost its flesh. Yet at this moment, ghostly blue flames ignited within its eye sockets, and it slapped forward with a claw.
"Crack!"
In a single exchange, that Venerable's arm was shattered instantly.
"Be careful."
Liu Shen reminded, "Every skeleton here may gain sentience under the nourishment of Kunpeng's baleful aura and transform into corpse demons."
"Do not wander around. Stay close to me."
Qian Renxue and the Little One, hearing this, immediately put away their carelessness and followed closely behind Liu Shen as they walked deeper into this small world.
There, faintly, a mass of light enveloping a Treasure bone could be seen floating, intermittently manifesting the yin-yang forms of Kun and Peng.
