The thunderstorm and chaotic scene were beyond what Ye Kai had ever imagined, but now, most of his attention was captivated by the Dragon Pearl in his hand.
However, he quickly regained his composure.
As the slaughter continued and powerful waves of magical energy surged, the Spiritual Energy in the area became increasingly turbulent, and the Calamity Cloud above grew darker and thicker.
"Boom!!!"
Ye Kai watched as a vortex appeared at the center of the Calamity Cloud, and to his astonishment, a bolt of lightning descended with incredible speed, shaking the entire Four Symbols Opening Formation.
Han Xiaoshan, Lin Wunan, Lu Jiu, and Wolf Cypress also turned red-faced, clearly feeling the immense pressure. Meanwhile, at the center of the formation, the Golden-Winged Great Peng and the Rainbow Serpent wreaked havoc.
Surrounding them were cultivators and demon clans who had lost their minds in battle. Ye Kai slapped his forehead and said, "You three, attack together! Capture the Golden-Winged Great Peng and the Rainbow Serpent. We need to leave quickly."
"Subordinate obeys!"
The three of them unleashed their formidable presence, their overwhelming magical energy immediately shattering the Calamity Cloud above. Then one of them struck out with a palm.
Three giant palms, each with a diameter of a hundred meters, struck simultaneously. One palm completely shattered the Calamity Cloud, another sent all cultivators flying, injuring them severely and causing them to spit blood. The final palm disregarded the Four Symbols Opening Formation entirely and slammed down on the Golden-Winged Great Peng and Rainbow Serpent within.
"Alright, you four, retract the formation."
Ye Kai stepped forward, using his Divine Ability to shrink distances and appeared beside the formation in an instant.
"Fine!"
Wolf Cypress and Lu Jiu were somewhat reluctant but seeing Ye Kai's expression, they began to mumble as they worked together to dismantle the formation.
"Master!"
Han Xiaoshan grabbed Lin Wunan, who was showing a nervous expression, and hurried forward, scratching his nose and giving an awkward smile.
"Well, this time you finally understand the formidable power of a peak Nascent Soul cultivator, right?"
Ye Kai looked at his two disciples, who seemed to be feeling guilty, and couldn't help but chuckle inwardly. Their strength had exceeded his expectations by a considerable margin. He then spoke up to reassure them, "Although this time was quite dangerous, you still gained a lot from it. It should be enough for you to digest for a while. Besides, your mounts are already prepared."
"Master, you’re not going to give me that Rainbow Serpent, are you?" Han Xiaoshan asked in shock, pointing at himself.
"Master, the Golden-Winged Great Peng is a descendant of the Ancient Demon God with an astonishing bloodline concentration. Why not let my senior brother have it? I really like that Rainbow Serpent," Lin Wunan chimed in.
He was still just a nominal disciple and was already thrilled to receive a Nascent Soul Stage Rainbow Serpent as a mount. He didn't want to appear greedy in front of his master and senior brother, as well as several other seniors.
"I don't care; you two can choose your mounts yourselves. Whichever one you want is yours," Ye Kai said with a broad smile, though his eyes were filled with curiosity and encouragement.
Sure enough, after some back-and-forth banter, Han Xiaoshan ended up being the 'loser' with his silver tongue. Lin Wunan's unexpected stubbornness led him to ultimately win the right to the Rainbow Serpent.
In short, the process boiled down to one statement: 'I’m still a nominal disciple; as long as I get the Rainbow Serpent, if you don’t want the Golden-Winged Great Peng, then I won’t take the Rainbow Serpent either. I’d rather face my master's scolding than appear greedy.'
Looking at Han Xiaoshan's defeated expression and Lin Wunan's stubborn demeanor, Ye Kai couldn't help but laugh out loud. "Alright, it's settled then: Lin gets the Rainbow Serpent and Shan Zi gets the Golden-Winged Great Peng."
"Master!" Han Xiaoshan exclaimed helplessly.
He understood his master much better than his junior brother Lin Wunan did. The so-called nominal disciple was hardly different from an official disciple; it was just that this foolish junior brother couldn't see it yet.
However, it was precisely this aspect that made him admire and respect Lin Wunan greatly.
Yet it was also this stubborn nature that drove him crazy.
He wasn't foolish; since their master allowed them to choose their mounts, he could be certain that even if there were some differences in quality and divine abilities between the two mounts, they wouldn't be too far apart.
With this, he also had an excuse to ask his master for some other items as compensation!
Unfortunately, how could such a thing be said out loud?
If his master found out, he would probably lock him in the Dark Room for countless nights!
Looking at Lin Wunan, who was still stubbornly holding his neck with a face that said, "If you don't want it, then I don't want it either," he felt a headache coming on.
"Smack!"
Ye Kai saw Han Xiaoshan's eyes spinning wildly and the frustration written all over his face. He knew something was up and stepped forward to slap him on the forehead. "You brat, what are you waiting for? Go and tame your mount!"
"And you, Lin. The Rainbow Serpent is not as pathetic as you think. In fact, everyone has misjudged it. This Rainbow Serpent is actually a mutated specimen, possessing the legendary Dragon Bloodline. Its future achievements will not be inferior to those of the Golden-Winged Great Peng."
Watching as he infused two core runes into the bodies of the Golden-Winged Great Peng and the Rainbow Serpent, Ye Kai spoke again, "Let's go!"
With a flick of his sleeve, a circle of divine light suddenly descended from above, enveloping everyone, including the dispirited Golden-Winged Great Peng and Rainbow Serpent, before they vanished from sight.
Just two or three minutes after their disappearance, a powerful and overwhelming aura swept across the sea area.
Before they even arrived, an oppressive force so terrifying it took one's breath away surged forth like thousands of mountains collapsing all at once.
"Very strong!"
Standing atop Jade Mountain, Ye Kai looked gravely toward the sea behind him. The others stood beside him, their expressions solemn as they gazed intently.
It wasn't that he was afraid to confront these forces directly; rather, they needed to hide for now. At least until these superpowers lost track of them, it was best to develop in secret.
He certainly didn't want every move he made to be under surveillance; that kind of feeling was definitely unpleasant.
In that moment, everyone couldn't help but feel a sense of relief. Ever since the first aura was released without restraint, several more followed suit, and thoughts of avoiding conflict surged. All that remained was a sense of ease.
To avoid battle, they simply needed to bypass this place, this market that existed solely for cultivators, and there would be no problem.
The several auras that surged forth were not only impressive but far beyond what an ordinary Separation Stage cultivator could compare to. Even their speed was astonishing.
Among Gongyang Zhenjun, She Yuanjun, and Hu Qianfang, only She Yuanjun, who excelled in escape techniques, could be considered comparable.
However, the initial Golden Rainbow Technique was also quite extraordinary.
In short, for Ye Kai at this stage, it was best to avoid trouble altogether. Only when completely unavoidable would he resort to harsh measures or negotiations.
After all, his life was worth a great deal.
More than the combined worth of everyone else in this world.
He had an identity that mattered: the Supreme Deity!
