Chapter 1199 - Kunpeng of Moonfang Sea

Chapter 1199 - Kunpeng of Moonfang Sea

The intensity of his gaze was powerful, to say the least. However, his appearance wasn't wild. Instead, he looked really bright with fine, chiseled features. His row of white teeth made his face glow even more, but the most unique thing about his looks were his ears. There were four on each side, eight in total, yet it didn't make him look ugly. Instead, it gave him an air of wisdom.

The hundreds of people had more ears than the average person. Many of them had four, or even six ears. They were the wargodeans, a faction that ranked fourth among the rest. Having eight ears was a sign of ultimate talent among their race. The wargodeans were the top race among the Myriad Solar Sects and the only faction to organize themselves based on race and clan rather than sect.

Though they didn't number many, their combined fighting force was something to be reckoned with. It was plain to see from the fact that they had only sent around the same number of people as Azuresoul Palace, roughly ten thousand, unlike Blueblood Ocean that sent near a hundred thousand disciples to participate. All of the disciples they had sent to the Skyward Skirmish were the cream of the crop. This group of hundreds was composed of the elites among them.

Tens of thousands of others were gathered around them, watching them without daring to talk too loudly.

"That Zhan Yuance is fierce and daring. He managed to get that grade-seven divine pill and immediately swallowed it, then started cultivating. He sure seems confident in the comrades around him."

"Of course! He's the Nine-five Prince of the wargodeans! Though he's the ninety-fifth prince of their patriarch, the numbers nine and five are sacred. And given his talent, he'll no doubt become one of the top figures in Orderia. He might even succeed the current wargodean patriarch!"

"Their race is brave and loves to battle. Anyone that dares to disturb their prince's cultivation would no doubt be eradicated by the bodyguards there."

"Come to think of it, what was that divine pill?"

"Those from the Arcanapill Sect identified it as a yinyang skyscorch pill. Its effects are really intense and only the wargodeans, with their special bloodline, would dare to start using it to cultivate with no seniors around. They said that even absorbing a small amount of the pill's effects would allow one to break through within a short time. The rest of the effects will remain and help throughout the rest of the Constellation stage."

"He's at the fourth-level now and among the top five most powerful people here, maybe even top three. If he becomes a fifth-level constellier, wouldn't he be the most powerful?"

"You don't say. He's also a quint-beastmaster. With five lifebound beasts and his race's combat training, nobody can match up to him."

Most of the others here respected, rather than envied him. What they had seen had fully convinced them of his abilities. Now, they were only remaining there to see what else this amazing fellow could do.

"Divine pills are made from divine hazards and divine herbs. Both of them have divine patterns, which remain after the pill-refining process. If the elemental compatibility is there, the divine patterns inside the pills can be consumed to temporarily strengthen one's divine will."

"I guess that means it isn't a treasure like Lifesteal Silverdragon that'll stay with you for life. Even so, it'll help Zhan Yuance rapidly pull ahead of his peers. Breaking through right now will give him a huge advantage."

"That's right. I feel like divine pills are better than divine artifacts in that regard."

"Zhan Yuance will shoot for the top then."

"Shoot for what top? He's already in the top three."

As they were talking, a loud roar suddenly erupted from the center of the Flamedragon Palace. The sound waves were so powerful that the hundreds of wargodeans were sent flying. Then, powerful nova source came sweeping from all directions toward Zhan Yuance's body.

"He managed to break through after all."

"He's invincible now."

"Holy crap!"

Everyone took a careful step back. After all, their imperial star formations were points ready for the taking. As they watched, the three-meter-tall blonde youth opened his golden eyes amidst a ring of metal and fire. The beams that shot out of them scared many disciples away.

"Nine-five Prince!"

The other wargodeans watched him intensely. Then he took out a wardrum formation from his spatial ring. Before he even did anything, the drum began to beat.

Boom! The sound reverberated throughout, causing a distant drum to beat in reaction as well. Zhan Yuance squinted and his ears twitched as he looked at that pathway. "Let's go." With that single word, the group followed.

......

There was a sea; such pure and clean seas were really hard to come by on the dry, boiling Orderia. It was located among the mountains in a rural place. From high up above, this sea looked like a crescent moon, serene and peaceful. The white clouds above were of a rather rare pleasant temperature. This was one of the rare oases on the sun. People called this place the Divine Moon Valley, and the body of water was the Moonfang Sea. The gentlest nova source was gathered all around the sea.

At that moment, around a hundred beautiful women were at the beach. They were all young, looking no older than thirty. They stood there unmoving, all clad in some kind of uniform, weathering the sea breeze. All of them looked young and charming. They would occasionally turn their gazes to Moonfang Sea, as if they were waiting for something.

Then, waves began forming in the sea as a gigantic white creature came bursting out of the water. Upon closer inspection, it looked like a gigantic fish with white scales that gave off the purest light. Each of its scales looked like precious white jade. The fish's eyes looked like gigantic pearls, within which were more than five thousand stars that formed a moving picture of a galaxy.

"Whoa...." Quite a few women at the beach couldn't help but gasp at the sight.

"It's the most beautiful lifebound beast I've seen."

"That's no surprise. Celestial orderians like us don't see many lifebound beasts."

"Look! It's changing again!"

Their hushed voices couldn't hide the excitement they felt. They watched the white fish's scales turn into feathers. Its mouth turned into a beak and its fins morphed into wings. Now it was a gigantic peng that flew high in the sky.

"It's even prettier now...."

"The goddess's lifebound beast is just as beautiful as she is."

The white peng rose higher and higher. They soon turned to the figure standing on the head of the peng who let her moon-white hair flow.

"Oh no!"

"We were too late! The goddess is returning to the Ninemoon Palace!"

"Sigh... these days, she keeps ending her cultivation early to go back and watch the Voidsky Skirmish...."

"Sisters, we have to catch up and properly serve the goddess."

Having admired the beauty of the kunpeng, they immediately alighted and followed it, leaving the Moonfang Sea.

......

The Ninemoon Palace was built not far away from the Divine Sun Palace with divine ores of the best quality. It was entirely colored the pale, off-white of the moon. A grand formation enveloped the building, keeping the flames from the Divine Sun Palace out and giving it a tranquil atmosphere.

A white kunpeng flew into the palace. The cold girl that rode the kunpeng let the wind brush her hair. She wore a green dress over a white outfit that revealed her beautiful neckline and collarbones. Her white hair that glistened with a pearlescent gloss was held together with hair bands, and the few pearl accessories she wore made her hair shine even more. Even so, quite a few strands of hair were unbound by the hair bands and allowed to flutter freely. They brushed past her face, contrasting against its natural flush, giving her a piercing yet natural countenance that stood out from her cold demeanor. She looked at the palace expectantly.

"Shuo Yue, go faster," she said.

"I'm going the fastest I can, Qingyu."

The white peng landed near one of the palace compounds where there was a projection of the Voidsky Realm. She looked at the gigantic Skyward Stele and said, "My brother is ranked first...."

She landed and approached the stele, not wearing any shoes. Seeing the name there, her shoulders began shaking as tears flowed uncontrollably.

"Feng is in sixth place too. He's alive and well," Shuo Yue said.

"Good... good...." She nodded, not taking her eyes off those two names the whole time. "Shuo Yue, they'll take me away from here one day, right?" An intense glow was radiating from her eyes.

"They're doing their best."

"I miss them...."

"Me too."

"Nah, you only miss that chicken." She burst out laughing at the thought. There was no other chicken like that one who could bring so much joy to others.
