Chapter 2036: How Can He Have One?

The Fiend races had countless powerful individuals, and every race had special talents that made it difficult to say for certain which one was stronger than another. However, in terms of movement abilities, there were two races that were publicly acknowledged to have the fastest ones. One was the Golden Crow Radiant Flow, and the other was the Invincible Heavenly Peng. In the past, even the late Fiend Emperor had acknowledged that in terms of pure movement ability, even the Golden Crow Radiant Flow was a bit slower than the Invincible Heavenly Peng.

Even so, with Zu An’s current cultivation, he didn’t need any movement ability at all. Just by lifting his leg and taking a step, he could cross ten thousand meters. He was extremely accurate and immediately grabbed at the golden light.

The Little Golden Peng King was horrified, but he suddenly became thirty percent faster, forcibly changing directions to dodge to one side. However, Zu An seemed to have already anticipated the move. He activated Grandgale’s teleportation ability. Regardless of how his opponent changed directions, he was always right behind. L1tLagoon witnessed the first publication of this chapter on N0vel-B1n.

Finally, he seized an opportunity and grabbed toward his opponent. At the same time, he activated the Heaven Devouring Sutra, which seemed to suck in the space in that area itself, leaving the Little Golden Peng King with no place to run at all.

Suddenly, a loud and clear bird's cry filled the air. A giant Heavenly Peng projection rushed out from the Little Golden Peng King’s body, and with a flap of that projection’s wings, the surrounding space collapsed, allowing it to break free from Zu An’s Heaven Devouring Sutra. It took the Little Golden Peng King ten thousand meters away.

Suolun Shi, who was watching from below, revealed a look of shock. She exclaimed, “Earth immortal?”

In that instant, a powerful ki field erupted. Even at such a distance, she could sense how terrifying it was. The only thing she felt apart from shock was numbness. She had once been quite close to the Little Golden Peng King, so she naturally knew about his cultivation. Even though it was a bit higher than hers, there was a limit to that; at most, it should have been a grade or two higher. But why had he immediately shot up to the earth immortal rank? It was comparable to the Fiend Emperor’s power! Was there something wrong with the world today somehow?

The Little Golden Peng King stretched out his neck and looked at the massive Heavenly Peng behind him. He was a bit excited as he said, “You guys kept saying that those monsters were lying to me, but I am no three-year-old child! How could I not know if they fooled me?

“This is the power that lies within the Golden Peng Race’s bloodline, and it was fully released through an ancient hidden method. With this Heavenly Peng Incarnation, there would be nothing to fear even if Zhao Han or the Fiend Emperor came back to life!”

Zu An examined his opponent for a bit. The Heavenly Peng behind him was especially big, and its entire figure was surging with demonic flames. Just a single wing reached ten kilometers in length. Every feather was vivid and lifelike, making it hard to tell if it was a projection or a tangible form.

“Bloodline power, you say...” Zu An muttered grimly.

It seemed the Little Golden Peng King’s words really were true! There was a certain connection between this world’s Fiend races and the foreign monsters. That made things more tricky. At first, there had been a good chance that the humans and fiends could fight together against the monsters’ invasion. However, if the Fiend races were tempted to switch sides, perhaps this world would really be finished!

Suddenly, the Heavenly Peng Incarnation moved its wings. Countless terrifying tornadoes appeared in the world. The bomber planes in the sky were quickly blown around in the winds before being torn to shreds.

The Little Golden Peng King grinned. He looked at his hands and murmured “Is this the feeling of power? The feeling of being the most powerful in the entire world? It's just too amazing.”

The terrifying tornadoes had already begun sweeping toward Zu An. They were so powerful, they could probably tear the flesh right off a grandmaster’s body.

Ding!

The sound of a Buddhist bell filled the air. A massive golden bell appeared around Zu An. Sanskrit chants surrounded it, blocking all of the roaring tornadoes outside.

“Why is Tranquility Temple’s Tranquility Bell in your hands?” the Little Golden Peng King asked in shock. With his status, he knew quite a few things, and naturally recognized the origins of this item.

Even so, there was naturally no need for Zu An to explain to him that it was just a weapon from the Rune Weapon Chart. With a wave of his hand, the Tranquility Bell rang again. Invisible sound waves rippled outward, and the terrifying tornadoes disappeared.

“Hmph, even if you have that bell, so what? Without an incarnation of your own, how could you possibly be my opponent?” the Little Golden Peng King said; he then actually merged with the incarnation behind him, both halves actually becoming one.

The Heavenly Peng projection became even more solid. As it swooped down toward Zu An, a red glint flickered through its eyes. Even though it was massive, it didn’t seem heavy and clumsy at all. On the contrary, it instantly appeared in front of Zu An like a flash of lightning. Two terrifying giant claws, each dozens of meters long, grabbed at the golden bell canopy around him, shattering it in barely an instant. A claw then grabbed at Zu An in the middle.

It was rumored that in ancient times, the Heavenly Peng had preyed upon giant dragons. Their claws could instantly seize the lives of dragons, creatures that were famous for their physical defenses. How could a human withstand such power?

Suolun Shi panicked. She wanted to warn Zu An to be careful, but that Heavenly Peng was just too fast. She was just about to speak out when the terrifying claw grabbed Zu An, immediately tearing him to pieces.

“Ahh!” She couldn’t help but scream. She felt as if her entire body had fallen into a frozen cave.

However, the Heavenly Peng didn’t show any sign of happiness. On the contrary, it dodged to the side to avoid a streak of incisive sword ki. It suddenly turned to the other side.

There, Zu An was floating in the sky, saying with a sigh of admiration, “This Heavenly Peng Incarnation of yours is indeed impressive.”

The Heavenly Peng spoke, but it was with the Little Golden Peng King’s voice. “How could low-level creatures like you understand the power of an incarnation? Without this ability to fight against us, there is no way you can defeat me.”

“Oh? Who says I don’t have one?” Zu An replied with a chuckle. With a wave of his hand, a steel giant dozens of meters tall slowly walked out from the void. The steel giant was entirely white with eight blue wings behind it. It had a unique aesthetic of beauty.

The Little Golden Peng King was stunned and couldn't help but ask, “What is this thing?”

“Gundam,” Zu An replied, a reminiscent look appearing in his eyes. “Strike Freedom Gundam!”

I really miss the days when I watched Gundam, balthough boss Kira seemed to like stealing his friends’ fiances...

“What kind of stupid name is that?” the Little Golden Peng King remarked, finding the word ridiculous. “Hmph, do you really think that compared to my Heavenly Peng, this thing of yours can be considered an incarnation?”

Even the distant Suolun Shi had to admit that this Gundam or something looked really handsome, but it paled in comparison to the Heavenly Peng. It wasn’t even on the same scale.

“Whether it is or not, won’t we find out once we fight? It’s not something that can be decided through a debate,” Zu An said; just like that, the wings behind Strike Freedom Gundam fully spread out.

“Then I will let you experience exactly what despair is,” the Heavenly Peng said, then moved its wings and charged at the Gundam. It planned to immediately crush the giant to death right from the get-go.

However, a streak of light flashed past, and the Heavenly Peng discovered that it had actually missed. From the Gundam's wings came a strange, intangible form that took the shape of wings of light. The Gundam was so fast and nimble that it was completely outside of his predictions!

The Heavenly Peng harrumphed and charged again. Its strongest aspect was none other than its speed. However, no matter how it attacked, the Gundam was always as crafty as a fly, dodging at all kinds of strange angles. It finally realized that its body was too large. Against a small creature like this, it couldn't cut corners as quickly as its nimble opponent.

“You’ve truly angered me now,” the Heavenly Peng said, then gave up on charging. Instead, it spread its wings and every single feather shot into the air. A second later, they turned into a golden rain of arrows that instantly engulfed everything within a kilometer of its opponent. No matter how fast and nimble the Gundam was, it couldn't avoid such a saturated attack.

Sure enough, after evading a few times, the Strike Freedom Gundam couldn't dodge anymore. Suddenly, however, its wings spread out and turned into several cannon barrels. They fired streaks of laser beams that accurately blasted away the incoming feathers. Then, the two cannons in its hands activated at full force, forcibly creating a safe space.

The Heavenly Peng’s eyes narrowed. It used the chance to immediately close the distance. Its wings sliced down on the Gundam like a blade that could cleave space itself.

Meanwhile, the Strike Freedom Gundam was facing the feather arrows and lost much of its mobility. It hurriedly dodged to the side, but its wing cannons were immediately sliced to pieces.

The Heavenly Peng didn’t give the Gundam any chance to leave. It gave chase, planting a pair of claws on the mecha's body. However, the Gundam suddenly produced a shield of light to block the attack. Then, it decided to retract the cannons in its hands. It drew two red beam sabers from its waist and quickly sliced open several-meter-long wounds on the Heavenly Peng's claws that reached all the way to its bones.

“What kind of swords are those? Why are they so sharp?!” the Heavenly Peng exclaimed, panicking. If not for the fact that its claws were too large, this attack alone could have already sliced its claws straight off!

Its body’s defensive abilities were already incredibly strong. It was near impossible for normal blades to wound it! Thus, it became more and more worried. It didn’t want to give Zu An any more chances and decided that it had to kill him as quickly as possible.

A demonic flame erupted around its entire body. Then, as if a massive black hole appeared in its mouth, it inhaled in the Strike Freedom Gundam’s direction. The Strike Freedom Gundam staggered under the terrifying suction force, unable to maintain its center of gravity anymore. A sinister glint appeared in the Heavenly Peng’s eyes; it would soon fully devour the enemy’s incarnation.

Suddenly, a streak of light fired out. It was so fast that it didn’t have the chance to react at all.

“The Sun Slaying Bow!” the Heavenly Peng exclaimed, shivering all over. The next second, however, its brain was already blasted open.

Zu An lowered the flickering Sun Slaying Bow and remarked with a sigh, “Did you think I was really competing with you in incarnations? It was just a distraction.”
