Chapter 1295 - 578: Subduing the Three Immortals, Triumphal Ceremony
Following the Peacock Emperor, the tumultuous Demon Race army shouting to reclaim the Northern Continent suddenly fell silent.
Gu Hong and the other two gaped at Zheng Fa on the Five Elements Primordial Magnetic Divine Mountain, momentarily at a loss for words.
Zheng Fa did not look at them but fixed his gaze on the Five Elements Primordial Magnetic Divine Mountain beneath his feet, with a playful expression — Oh, a wild magical treasure!
He stroked the five-colored mountain rock and then nodded towards Xie Qingxue: "This magical treasure is quite suitable for the Shenxiao Army, especially the Divine Sky Fleet."
The greatest flaw of the Divine Sky Fleet is indeed quite apparent — its power is too small.
For instance, Xie Qingxue leading the Divine Sky Fleet, the strongest combat power is only at the True Immortal Level, which is usually sufficient, but falls short in hard battles.
This Five Elements Primordial Magnetic Divine Mountain is a legacy of a Golden Immortal. If it could be integrated into the Thick Earth Magnetic Array, or even taken into battle by Xie Qingxue and others, it would be an epic upgrade for the entire Shenxiao Army.
His words already regarded the Five Elements Primordial Magnetic Divine Mountain as a belonging of the Jiushan Sect, which made the Peacock Emperor at the mountain’s base intolerable before Xie Qingxue could respond:
"That’s my magical treasure!!"
A gigantic peacock forcibly stood up, carrying both the Five Elements Primordial Magnetic Divine Mountain and Zheng Fa, glaring at Zheng Fa with fierce defiance.
Zheng Fa looked down at the ferocious beastly face, his expression calm, speaking lightly: "Are you willing to surrender?"
He used the All Heaven Stars Formation on the Peacock Emperor, mainly to rescue Xie Qingxue and others, but chiefly to inquire about Lu Yao.
The West Continent now not only has the Thunder Sound Buddha but also Lu Yao’s Earth Emperor Corpse. Even with the All Heaven Stars Formation’s assistance, he dared not go, especially as the All Heaven Stars Formation was temporary.
The easiest target to deal with was this solitary battling peacock.
The Peacock Emperor, an elder of the Demon Race, had followed Lu Yao since the Demon Emperor era, essentially being one of Lu Yao’s closest confidants, possibly knowing more about Lu Yao than those Buddhas at Leiyin Temple.
Therefore, Zheng Fa wanted to subdue him to learn about Lu Yao’s current state or even purpose.
The Peacock Emperor stared at Zheng Fa, his immortal power surging rapidly as he bore the Five Elements Primordial Magnetic Divine Mountain, soaring into the Nine Heavens!
Simultaneously, his reply echoed into the ears of Gu Hong and the three immortals along with the Demon Race: "Our Demon Race has traversed heaven and earth since ancient times, bowing to none but the Demon Emperor! What do you count as!"
These words stirred the somewhat anxious Demon Race into exuberant cheers, calling out loudly in response, their spirits alight.
Bang!
A familiar roar interrupted their merriment.
The Demon Race gradually turned their heads to look at Zheng Fa standing on the Primordial Magnetic Divine Mountain, and at the Peacock Emperor crushed beneath it, they instantly fell silent again.
Gu Hong Taoist looked at the nonchalant Zheng Fa, then turned his gaze to Master Huang Gu, transmitting his voice: "What did you just say?"
"..."
"The Jiushan Sect doesn’t have a second Taiyi-level combat strength?"
"..."
Master Huang Gu didn’t speak, only swallowed audibly as if choked.
They were all Golden Immortals, who could not see that within those stars surrounding Zheng Fa, lay a force far exceeding that of a Golden Immortal?
As they puzzled over the origin of these stars, a female voice emerged from within: "Sect Leader, this bird has always been Lu Yao’s loyalist; even if he were willing to surrender, we still wouldn’t trust him."
Gu Hong Taoist was startled, then saw Qingnv and Taiyin Fairy appear from the starlight.
This...
Aren’t they the two Golden Immortals from the Turquoise Pool?
What did they just call Zheng Fa?
Sect Leader?
Gu Hong Taoist looked at the naturally-faced Taiyin Fairy and Qingnv, feeling that everything today was enough to overturn the Xuanwei sky.
Zheng Fa appeared somewhat compelled by the words, seemingly convinced, and asked the Peacock Emperor again: "Do you truly refuse to surrender?"
"Ha!" The Peacock Emperor’s wings seemed broken, yet his voice was unyielding: "I am of Innate Divine birth; how could I surrender to a mere human?"
"I told you, just kill him then!" Qingnv said, narrowing her eyes, "To sever Lu Yao’s limb and avenge Lord Water Mother!"
Zheng Fa nodded slightly at Qingnv’s words, somewhat agreeing, the main reason being quite simple — the All Heaven Stars Formation has a time limit, and since the Peacock Emperor prefers death to surrender, he cannot waste time, especially as he has Gu Hong Taoist and these three hidden worldly immortals to deal with.
Seeing the Peacock Emperor’s proud face, Zheng Fa extended his hand, pointing towards the direction of the All Heaven Stars Formation.
Within the Chaos, the All Heaven Stars Formation began to operate at full power, sending more immense star power surging towards the Xuanwei Realm.
Gu Hong Taoist and the others felt Zheng Fa’s figure like an ancient Heavenly Emperor; every movement carried an apocalyptic might.
"Taiyi... Taiyi..."
Gu Hong Taoist couldn’t help but murmur quietly, his gaze catching Master Huang Gu’s right hand subtly lowering, seemingly trembling slightly.
Gu Hong Taoist could indeed understand, as when the All Heaven Stars Formation unleashed its full power, he had to admit his inner speculation — Zheng Fa controlled a force far surpassing a Golden Immortal!
More terrifying was that Zheng Fa seemed able to use this power freely!
Mind you, neither the Thunder Sound Buddha nor the Nine Nether Emperor, or even the Daoist Venerable of the Supreme Dao, can easily interfere with Xuanwei.
But Zheng Fa can!
This is a tremendous threat to Golden Immortals.
Especially to these three Golden Immortals without Taiyi protection.
...
As Zheng Fa maneuvered the All Heaven Star God, about to end the Peacock Emperor’s life, he suddenly heard a shout from his feet:
"Wait!"
Zheng Fa paused, looking at the speaking Peacock Emperor, somewhat surprised: "Are you willing to surrender?"
