Primordial Era: A God-Level Choice, Possessing Zhao Gongming at the Start

Chapter 40 The Hidden Power of the Demon Master Palace

"Kunpeng, is that you?"

Hongyun looked surprised. After so many years on Longevity Mountain, he thought Kunpeng had long since let go of the debt of gratitude he owed him back then.

"Why can't it be me?"

Kunpeng gave a sinister smile, his aura changing drastically. "Hand over the Primordial Purple Qi, and I might spare your life. Otherwise, this day next year will be your death anniversary!"

"Hand over the Primordial Purple Qi?"

Hongyun was speechless; it was true that the seventh primordial purple aura had landed on him.

However, the seventh wisp of primordial purple energy disappeared after it reached him.

He could only sense the Primordial Purple Qi on his body, but he didn't know where it was, let alone how to extract it.

Hongyun and Kunpeng have said it countless times, but no matter what, Kunpeng just won't believe it.

Seeing Kunpeng's aggressive demeanor, Hongyun was too lazy to explain anything further.

With a thought, he channeled his quasi-saintly power into the gourd beneath his feet. Instantly, the gourd transformed into a streak of light and flew toward Longevity Mountain.

Hongyun knew that as long as she flew to Longevity Mountain, everything would be safe.

"Trying to escape?"

A sinister smile appeared on Kunpeng's lips. With a wave of his hand, endless Northern Darkness's chill transformed into a storm, rushing towards the red clouds.

The Northern Darkness, the coldest place in the primordial wilderness, can even harm celestial immortals and true immortals with its most ordinary cold air.

The Northern Darkness Cold Qi in Kunpeng's hands had been refined over countless millennia.

In an instant, a fierce wind arose, chilling to the bone. Hongyun felt as if he were frozen solid, and his flight speed was reduced by more than half.

Left with no other choice, Hongyun quickly opened the Nine-Nine Soul-Scattering Gourd and drank a large mouthful of wine brewed from ginseng fruit. A warm current flowed down her throat and throughout her body, which relieved her discomfort considerably.

He stared at Kunpeng and shouted, "Kunpeng, I have no grudges against you in the past or present. I truly cannot produce that Primordial Purple Qi. Why must you be so aggressive!"

Hongyun is an honest man, but even honest men can unleash unprecedented energy when pushed to their limits.

Hongyun was fine until he spoke, and Kunpeng immediately bristled, his face even uglier than Hongyun's.

"Good heavens, old man Hongyun, how could you actually say such a thing!"

"Back then at Zixiao Palace, if you hadn't pretended to be such a good-natured person and given your sacred seat to those two from the West, how could I, your ancestor, have been forced to give up my seat as well? It's all your fault!"

The Kunpeng screamed hysterically, for that was the Primordial Purple Qi, the foundation of the Great Dao.

As long as you possess it, you have the opportunity to attain enlightenment and sainthood.

But this great opportunity was ruined by Old Man Hongyun.

Kunpeng felt an overwhelming surge of hatred that nearly overwhelmed his reason.

Seeing Kunpeng's reaction, Hongyun was stunned. He shrugged, "Every wrong has its perpetrator, every debt its debtor. Who stole your prayer mat? Who are you going to seek revenge on? Why are you bothering me?"

"Heh, I'm going to stick with you, ancestor, what do you say?"

Kunpeng knew perfectly well that Hongyun's cultivation was inferior to his, making him easier to bully.

As for the Western duo, although they are shameless, their skills are truly profound.

Even fighting one person would make Kunpeng a little hesitant, let alone fighting two.

I'm afraid I'll get a beating before I even get to the West.

Therefore, it's better to snatch the Primordial Purple Qi from Hongyun.

Hongyun was both anxious and angry, but unwilling to engage in a prolonged battle with Kunpeng, and was just about to continue his escape.

But then Kunpeng shouted, "Demon Master's Palace!"

"Boom, boom!!"

A tremendous roar echoed through the void, followed by a crack as the void shattered into countless pieces, revealing a colossal palace in mid-air.

The enormous palace, entirely silver-white, exuded an unprecedentedly immense pressure!

It is Kunpeng's cave in the Northern Sea, and also the most powerful spiritual treasure in Kunpeng's hands, the Demon Master Palace!

Having been refined by Kunpeng for billions of years, it possesses immense power, no less than a top-grade innate spiritual treasure.

"Old man Hongyun, take my blow!"

The immense power of the Quasi-Saint Kunpeng surged into the Demon Master's Palace, causing it to grow larger in the wind, eventually becoming larger than a small mountain.

With the force of Mount Tai pressing down, it crushed towards the red clouds. In an instant, the sun and moon lost their light, the world dimmed, and even the void emitted a tremendous lament, unable to withstand the pressure, and shattered with cracking sounds.

"You really went all out!!"

Hongyun was both angry and furious, and she also unleashed her most powerful methods.

"Nine-Nine Red Clouds Scattering Soul Gourd, kill!"

At Hongyun's command, countless tiny red sand particles flew out of the gourd.

Countless and immeasurable, each grain is round, smooth, and sparkling.

Under Hongyun's control, they surged towards Kunpeng in a mighty rush.

This red sand is a specialty of the Red Gourd. It can damage a cultivator's primordial spirit and is extremely powerful!

Seeing that Hongyun had unleashed the Soul-Scattering Red Sand, Kunpeng looked somewhat wary.

This red sand is no ordinary thing; it cannot be withstood by force!

The thought crossed his mind, and he immediately urged the Demon Master Palace to come to the defense.

The enormous Demon Master's Palace, as large as a mountain, was filled with red sand flying in from all directions!

The Demon Master Palace possesses formidable magical power, capable of breaking through all spells with sheer force, and possesses the overwhelming power of Mount Tai.

The Soul-Scattering Red Sand damages a person's primordial spirit and corrupts their physical body, making it quite powerful.

For a time, the two sides were locked in a stalemate.

Meanwhile, thousands of miles away from Kunpeng and Hongyun in the East Sea, Zhao Gongming arrived late with Little Black Tiger and Six Ears.

Even though they were thousands of miles apart, the terrifying pressure was still all-pervasive, making Zhao Gongming and the others feel immense pressure, and even breathing became extremely difficult.

"The innate Wuji Apricot Yellow Flag, appear!"

With a thought, Zhao Gongming immediately summoned the Apricot Yellow Banner. The Apricot Yellow Banner was a top-tier defensive treasure. As soon as it was summoned, everyone felt the pressure on their bodies greatly reduced and they relaxed.

"Such powerful magical energy fluctuations!"

Liu Er kept sighing. Even though they were thousands of miles apart and protected by their treasures, the mere aftershocks could exert such immense pressure on them. It was unimaginable what level of beings they were fighting.

Above the East Sea, Hongyun Kunpeng and the other two exchanged more than three hundred blows in the blink of an eye. At the beginning, they were evenly matched and neither could gain the upper hand.

However, Kunpeng was far more skilled than Hongyun, and over time, Hongyun inevitably fell into a disadvantageous position, only able to parry but unable to retaliate.

On the shores of the East China Sea, Zhao Gongming had a sudden thought and began to plan how to save Hongyun. The demon master Kunpeng was not weak, but he was extremely cautious about his life. He had three sword talismans bestowed by his master, each of which could unleash the power of a quasi-saint.

If used properly, scaring away Kunpeng should be no problem at all. Besides, even if something unexpected happens and Kunpeng discovers any flaws, it shouldn't be a problem.

But he still has the life-saving treasure bestowed upon him by his master, so he won't be in any danger.

Zhao Gongming acted immediately, and just as he was about to get up, Liu Er suddenly grabbed his sleeve. "Master, you can't make a move! There's an incredibly powerful being hiding beside those two!"

"Is someone still hiding?"

"Who is that? Can you tell?"

Zhao Gongming was immediately surprised. Could it be the Styx Ancestor?

However, the Blood Sea is hundreds of millions of miles away from the East Sea. How could the Styx Ancestor have happened to be in the East Sea?
