Everyone held their breath as the sea fell silent, save for the massive dark clouds rolling in from above. In just a moment, rain began to pour over a radius of hundreds of miles.
However, as cultivators, this rain could not obstruct their vision. They all focused intently on the Dark Green Poison Fog Cloud that was being torn apart and dispersed by the colorful light.
The colorful light grew stronger, eventually merging into a single beam that radiated endlessly, illuminating the surroundings and driving away the endless dark green poison mist.
The crowd erupted in movement as a thunderous roar split the sky. Lightning snaked through the air like an Azure Dragon, and the booming thunder shook the ground. A group of powerful beings traversed through space, some retreating while others charged toward the Rainbow Serpent.
Among those present, the lowest cultivation level was at the peak of Golden Core Stage, while the highest had reached half-step Primordial Spirit. Various spells and Divine Abilities filled the air.
Suddenly, a flash of golden light zipped past, breaking through the encirclement of people. It was so fast that most could barely react—it was a Golden-Winged Great Peng at the peak of Nascent Soul.
Several Sword Cultivators noticed it and shouted in anger, unleashing dozens of Tearing Sky Sword Qi aimed at the back of the Golden-Winged Great Peng.
Other cultivators were not willing to be outdone and quickly summoned their own signature Divine Abilities. In an instant, a cascade of colorful lights poured down.
The Golden-Winged Great Peng showed no fear; its body shimmered with golden light. Each golden feather appeared to be forged by the Gengjin Tiger Clan, and on each feather were countless Talisman Patterns engraved.
With a flap of its wings, it unleashed thousands of golden rays that shattered all incoming spells.
The crowd gasped in awe; even many who were at the Late Stage of Nascent Soul or half-step Primordial Spirit wore grave expressions.
The Golden-Winged Great Peng was renowned among Ancient Demon Gods for its formidable strength. The strongest ancestor of its kind could suppress all foes with ease and swallow entire continents' Creatures whole, flying without equal.
The Golden-Winged Great Peng was one of the most powerful clans among the myriad demon races in the Boundless Sea. Its clan leader, Golden Winged Daozun, ranked among the great Dao Ancestors of demonkind, with many speculating that he could be within the top three.
From this alone, one could understand how powerful the Divine Abilities of the Golden-Winged Great Peng were. Their combat prowess was fierce, coupled with incredible Speed that left few rivals among their peers.
Before him, the Golden-Winged Great Peng at the Late Stage of Nascent Soul was incredibly powerful. After fending off the attacks from others, it flapped its wings, and its giant claws, shimmering with the aura of the Golden Sword, descended upon the Rainbow Serpent.
But at that moment, it felt a pair of eyes fixated on it. A shiver ran through its body as it turned to look. In the void, two handsome young men approached—one clad in white and the other in a blue robe.
Both exuded an overwhelming presence, each wearing a Ruyi Golden Crown atop their heads and an Azure Screen Seal.
What truly sent chills down its spine were the four rings radiating a hazy seven-colored Halo, which even made its Nascent Soul feel a slight sting.
“Dual Polarity Magnetic Divine Light!!!”
The Golden-Winged Great Peng let out a sharp cry, its wings flapping rapidly as it transformed into a blur and vanished from sight. It reappeared a thousand meters away in an instant.
Strangely, although it did not vocalize its command, everyone present seemed to understand and instinctively dispersed.
Above them, thunder rumbled as countless electric serpents danced and twisted through the air, while below, the Rainbow Serpent roared repeatedly, intimidating any approaching cultivators.
Moreover, two figures appeared in the midst of it all without any regard for the chaos. Their presence alone caused everyone to choose to observe rather than engage further.
A few cultivators in the crowd recognized one of the young men and gasped, “Isn’t that Han Xiaoshan from Falling Sunset Mountain?”
“Look at what’s above their heads!”
“Magical artifacts!”
“Two magical artifacts!”
“…”
Everyone's greedy eyes were fixed tightly on the two individuals, while the Rainbow Serpent was nearly forgotten in their minds.
As the Star God Sect rose to prominence, the names of Ye Kai, Han Xiaoshan, Gongyang Zhenjun, and She Yuanjun had already spread among all cultivators in the Boundless Sea for quite some time.
Although people were willing to acknowledge the formidable cultivation and strong personality of Ye Kai, the leader of the Star God Sect, most still held a common view. It seemed that the sect had very few disciples, and those they did have were not well-known.
Perhaps the second-generation disciples of the Star God Sect were simply not ready to go out into the world yet.
With this thought, everyone felt a sense of balance and satisfaction.
A prestigious sect, a super-strong sect, yet it had no disciples ready to venture forth. No matter how powerful the leader was, in the end, it would all be fleeting, just a dream that would fade away.
Even though there had been occasional reports of a disciple named Han Xiaoshan going out to slay Sea Monsters, it did not earn them any special regard; after all, a mere Golden Core Stage cultivator was hardly worth their attention.
Once they learned that he was originally a disciple of a Loose Cultivator from Falling Sunset Mountain, they felt reassured once more.
Despite the reputation and prestige built by Ye Kai, which was indeed rare among all cultivators—suppressing the Three Great Primordial Spirit True Lords single-handedly was no small feat—his actual cultivation level remained a mystery to many.
No one could discern what level of power this leader of the Star God Sect truly possessed, nor could anyone test it.
However, many powerful cultivators generally recognized that this Ye Master's strength was at most around mid-Distraction, and it was very likely only at the early stage.
Even so, he was already an extraordinary powerful being.
Moreover, he possessed a Treasure known as Jade Mountain. Rumor had it that he had recently acquired a Spirit Master Island.
If there were a few more disciples ready to take the stage, the Primordial Spirit True Monarch, then the Star God Sect would be unstoppable, undoubtedly becoming another superpower in the Boundless Sea.
Now, with two members of the Star God Sect appearing and immediately showcasing two magical treasures, along with that enviable Dual Polar Magnetic Ring, it was clear they were a force to be reckoned with.
However, this group could clearly see that the two of them were only at the peak of the Golden Core Stage.
The Golden-Winged Great Peng saw Lin Wunan and Han Xiaoshan, and his heart trembled slightly. Yet, he believed his own demonic power and Divine Ability were formidable, coupled with his Late Stage of Nascent Soul strength. Even with their magical treasures, they could not possibly be his match.
Only the dead are truly good; although the Golden-Winged Great Peng had never heard this saying, he was prepared to act on it.
"You two are merely at the Golden Core Stage; you are nothing. It was a grave mistake for the sect master of the Star God Sect to allow you into this battlefield," the Golden-Winged Great Peng suddenly spoke human words, his voice cold.
Lin Wunan stepped forward, his battle intent surging as he declared, "This Rainbow Serpent belongs to us. You'd better not try to take it; if you do, you'll die."
Hearing this, the Golden-Winged Great Peng was furious and sneered, "Once Ancestor devours you and refines your soul and body, those two magical treasures will be a rare supplement for me!"
Han Xiaoshan also ceased to remain silent. He stepped into the void, moving slowly yet instantly arriving before the Golden-Winged Great Peng.
