Chapter 1449 - Bully
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
In the Oceanic Mountain Continent, where the mountain range intersects. There was an emerald lake that looked akin to a mirror, without any ripples, reflecting the heavens and earth. Although it was calm, it permeated a pressure for unknown reasons that even made a Heavenly Sovereign feel pressured.
However, the tranquility of this place was disrupted today. When the morning sun shone onto this land, there were countless streaks of light crossing the horizon before they descended towards the mountains around this lake.
Along with those silhouettes, countless cries echoed throughout the sky, sounding like the cries of a myriad of birds that have gathered…
This Deitification Pool held an extraordinary position amongst the flying Divine Beasts. So even if the entry quotas were limited, it would attract the attention of the Divine Beast Clans.
When all the clans gathered, a commotion resounded from the surrounding mountains.
With the arrival of more clans, there was suddenly a brilliant cry that resounded throughout the heavens and earth. After that, an invisible pressure enveloped the entire land, causing the faces of many Divine Beast Clans to change with revere on their faces.
When they raised their heads, they saw a rainbow spread out across this region with silhouettes descending towards the nearby mountains.
When the rainbow faded, two silhouettes appeared. The first to appear was the Real Phoenix King of the Phoenix Clan, Huang Jin, with Huang Xuanzhi following behind, emanating nobility.
“We greet the Phoenix King!” When Huang Jin appeared, all the flying Divine Beast Clans stated their greeting.
Huang Jin had an extraordinary bearing. He nodded his head towards everyone before looking at the silhouettes that were arriving and descended onto the surrounding mountains.
A powerful pressure permeated from this entire region and spiritual light gathered into colossal figures behind them.
There were creatures such as nine-headed golden condors, or beings akin to dragons and sparrows…
Looking at this scene, everyone wore grave expressions with envy in their eyes, since all of them represented Supreme Divine Beasts.
Although the difference between Divine Beasts and Supreme Divine Beasts was just one word, it represented the gulf between heaven and earth.
“There are five Supreme Divine Beast Clans amongst the flying Divine Beasts, and all of them are practically present…”
“It’s said that the Supreme Divine Beast Clans have sent their talents over for this Deitification Pool. It looks like they’re trying to make use of this opportunity to refine their bloodline and take another step forth…”
“But there’s a limit to the amount of blood essences formed in the Deitification Pool. It looks like this will be a ferocious competition…”
“Haha, with Huang Xuanzhi of the Phoenix Clan, who can compete with him? I’m afraid that he will benefit the most this time.”
“That’s not for certain. Huang Xuanzhi might be extraordinary, but Lin Cang of the Nine-headed Golden Condor Clan and Kong Ling’er of the Nine-colored Peacock Clan aren’t pushovers…”
“Indeed, these talents have been concealing themselves for hundreds of years to reach the Saint Heavenly Sovereign Realm through the Deitification Pool. So intense competition is unavoidable…”
While all the voices of discussions resounded, all of them looked around with excitement.
“Mhm? The Nine Nether Bird Clan is also here? Can it be that they have a quota to the Deitification Pool?” Someone noticed a few silhouettes on a mountain and instantly recognised them.
“Heh, there was an ancestor of the Nine Nether Bird Clan that entered the Deitification Pool a few hundred years ago to obtain a quota for them. It looks like they’re going to use it.” Someone sourly said. After all, the quota to the Deitification Pool was too hard to come by, since it meant a sacrifice of a Heavenly Sovereign.
“Psh, I believe you guys are still unaware of it yet. The Nine Nether Bird Clan is in a difficult situation now.” There were those with keen information that sneered. “Nine Nether of the Nine Nether Bird Clan is rumored to have evolved into the Undying Bird’s Bloodline, and Huang Xuanzhi has his eyes on her as the final sacrifice for his Nine Circulation Saint Art…”
“So the moment Nine Nether enters the Deification Pool, Huang Xuanzhi will make a move and seize her bloodline…”
The world of Divine Beasts was crueler than the world of men. So when they heard of Huang Xuanzhi’s intention, no one felt that it was wrong.
As the saying goes, those that possess treasures becomes a criminal. This was also why such a rare bloodline of the Nine Nether Bird Clan was being targeted. Furthermore, it was fine if they kept it to themselves but just chose to flaunt it. ‘Now that Huang Xuanzhi has targeted you, you won’t be able to escape easily.’
Sensing those gazes, the face of the Nine Nether Bird Clan’s Patriarch, Tian Huang, had also turned ugly.
Nine Nether stood behind him with tight-fit black clothes that outlined her figure and a stunning arc on her chest. She pursed her lips together, looking more stubborn than usual.
Compared to Tian Huang, her face was better. It was just that her fists were tightly clenched, revealing the unease in her heart.
“Elder Lu, we can only depend on you this time.” Tian Huang sighed as he faced a grey-robed elder. This was the sole Heavenly Sovereign of their Nine Nether Bird Clan, which had come out of his seclusion due to Nine Nether’s matter.
However, this Elder of the Nine Nether Bird Clan was only a Late Phase Spirit Heavenly Sovereign.
That grey-robed elder had a bitter expression, but he still nodded his head. “Rest assured, Patriarch. I will do my best to protect Nine Nether, but… I might not be Huang Xuanzhi’s opponent.”
Patriarch Tian Huang’s body trembled. How could he not know that Huang Xuanzhi had extraordinary fighting capability, aside from his cultivation being at the Initial Phase Immortal Heavenly Sovereign Realm? There was even an Initial Phase Immortal Heavenly Sovereign that fell in his hand, and his achievement was practically invincible.
“Elder Lu, you don't have to fight with Huang Xuanzhi, you just need to take Nine Nether away from the Deitification Pool to seek for the right opportunity.” Tian Huang comforted.
“I will do my best.” Elder Lu nodded his head and took a deep breath with a decisive expression on his face. He was also furious with the Phoenix Clan’s bullying, so even at the sake of his life, he had to protect Nine Nether’s safety.
However, he suddenly recalled something, so he glanced at Nine Nether and hesitated. “There’s still no news from Elder Tian Que? I heard that Mu Chen is formidable these days, and if he shows up, he might be able to confront Huang Xuanzhi…”
Tian Huang lightly knitted his brows and replied, “Not yet… Our Nine Nether Bird Clan does not need to depend on outsiders. Furthermore, he will also offend the Phoenix Clan if he comes. I’m afraid that brat will consider the pros and cons of this matter.”
There wasn’t any blame in his tone, since it was natural. In the Great Thousand World, no one was willing to offend the Phoenix Clan for their Nine Nether Bird Clan. Even those Divine Beast Clans that had a good relationship with their Nine Nether Bird Clan usually wouldn’t dare to interfere in this matter.
“Father!” However, his words attracted a cold stare from Nine Nether.
When Tian Huang saw this, he bitterly shook his head. “Fine. I’ll not badmouth about him.”
As they spoke, Huang Jin suddenly, indifferently looked over in their direction and smiled. “Have you guys considered this matter?”
His words instantly attracted the attention from the surroundings. Tian Huang could only toughen his scalp and ask, “Phoenix Clan, can you let my Nine Nether Bird Clan off?”
His tone was practically begging without any pride.
When Huang Jin saw this response, he gently sighed, “Why? If you satisfy my son, I would consider this a favor from the Nine Nether Bird Clan, and we will repay you in the future. Why are you refusing? You guys really do not know what’s good for you.”
There wasn’t any emotion in his eyes as he continued, “Since you guys insist on being stubborn, then we’ll depend on our own ability.”
Tian Huang’s face instantly turned pale and collapsed.
Huang Xuanzhi also swept his gaze over and stared at Elder Lu before he chuckled. “That’s your protector?”
“Late Phase Spirit Heavenly Sovereign…” A ridiculing smile rose on Huang Xuanzhi’s lips before he shook his head. “If this is all you have, I suggest you guys give up.”
When he finished speaking, he took a step forth and the cry of a phoenix echoed out with a torrential pressure sweeping out, causing the entire region to tremble from his pressure.
That pressure was directed at Elder Lu, which the latter’s body trembled and his face turned pale. His knees were slowly bending from the pressure and he nearly kneeled.
Evidently, Huang Xuanzhi was trying to intimidate Elder Lu before they entered the Deification Pool. At that time, Elder Lu wouldn’t have any courage to face him.
Elder Lu knew Huang Xuanzhi’s intention, so he gritted his teeth with veins wriggling on his forehead. However, the pressure from an Immortal Heavenly Sovereign and Huang Xuanzhi’s Real Phoenix pressure quickly caused Elder Lu’s knees to bend.
Tian Huang and Nine Nether’s faces were pale, but they could only watch Elder Lu suffer from Huang Xuanzhi’s pressure.
Patriarch Tian Huang's vision turned black before he spat out a mouthful of phlegm. This was a humiliation for their Nine Nether Bird Clan.
Nine Nether’s fists were clenched with her nails burrowing into her palm and blood flowed down. At this moment, even someone as strong as her couldn’t help tearing up.
There was a surge of helplessness that made her blame herself.
“Enough, if you want my bloodline, then take…” She abruptly widened her eyes as she hollered towards Huang Xuanzhi.
But before she could finish, a rumble echoed out and everyone raised their heads to look at the distant horizon. A massive wave of Spiritual Energy swept over.
That Spiritual Energy shock wave had practically crushed Huang Xuanzhi’s Spiritual Energy pressure, along with a resounding roar, “You’re not qualified to take her bloodline!”
That roar had instantly interrupted Nine Nether’s voice and she abruptly raised her head, before she saw a young man stepping over. His handsome features which seemed to have a rage hidden under an ocean of lightning made her heart beat faster.
She was dumbfounded while looking at this familiar figure before tears fell from her cheeks.
