Chapter 1906: Kunpeng Moves, Formation Initiated, Battle on the Verge

That massive silhouette blocked the sky and sun; no sunlight could be seen, only an expanse of darkness.

The raging wind swept everything, yet could not move that silhouette.

The appearance of the Kunpeng Guardian made everyone below gasp a cold breath; seeing this stance for the first time, they now had no desire to fight—it was simply terrifying and overwhelmingly powerful.

Power is not limited to one dimension; the Kunpeng Guardian did not conceal its strength at all, radiating in every direction to show those below just how mighty it is, unbeatable—whether human or beast, they are merely ants in its eyes.

Mu Long Wenyi choked a sob, trembling, "Is it really that massive? Is this the Kunpeng Guardian?"

That sense of helplessness rose in his heart; even a Strong One of the First Tribulation Realm like him harbored such thoughts, let alone the others.

The Tribulation Realm is still powerless against the Kunpeng Guardian; Mu Long Wenyi thought that after his Advancement into the Tribulation Realm he would be different, but now he is the same—no distinction. To a true Strong One, the Tribulation Realm is also just ants.

The First Tribulation is only considered powerful in their eyes—how laughable.

Mulong Tian mused, "Kunpeng Guardian, this is still the wounded Kunpeng Guardian, not its full form. Wenyi, you see how mighty the Ten Thousand Demons Hall is; this time, we must kill it no matter what, and not be frightened by its appearance."

"This is a technique the Kunpeng Guardian excels at—revealing its true form, unleashing demonic might, intimidating everyone; you need not fear nor panic."

He stood at the front, bearing the immense pressure; Mulong Tian could not allow Mu Long Wenyi to collapse. A shattered Dao heart would be a grave matter—others might think so, but Mu Long Wenyi could not.

"Family Head, I understand," Mu Long Wenyi quickly regained composure, calming his startled heart and re‑stabilizing his Dao heart.

He lifted his head again, gazing at the figure above, no longer panicked or fearful.

Mulong Tian nodded with satisfaction; Mu Long Wenyi's greatest strength lay not in his talent but in his mindset—unafraid of strong foes or failure, able to reset his attitude after any fall. That, above all, was his greatest virtue.

Not far away, Mingxu Elder squinted, stepped back a few paces, nearly kneeling, just like the Heavenly Heart Sect disciples nearby; a figure stepped out from him, standing before him—Elder Xin Wuhen arrived, standing at the front, facing that silhouette.

"Senior brother."

Elder Xin Wuhen waved his hand, "Enough, keep your Dao heart steady; do not let it collapse."

"The Kunpeng Guardian is so powerful that you cannot gaze upon it directly."

Mingxu Elder apologetically said, "Thank you, senior brother, for the reminder."

Elder Xin Wuhen admonished, "You, your cultivation is still too weak; after this, you must diligently train."

"Yes, senior brother," Mingxu Elder replied, not daring to argue, obediently.

The Heavenly Heart Sect disciples behind them suddenly felt no pressure; they stood, heads lowered, unwilling to look at Elder Xin Wuhen.

Nearby, a silhouette coalesced and stepped out of the darkness.

A strange, evil aura emanated from its body; even a hint released made others feel the pressure.

"Jie jie jie, the Kunpeng Guardian has indeed arrived; it is descending."

"This place is the burial ground of the Kunpeng Guardian."

"This time, I have come specifically to harvest its soul; a Strong One's soul refined into a Yin spirit will be tremendously powerful."

He, the Extreme Evil Celestial Ghost of the Yin Gui Sect, came to join the battle.

His eyes coveted the Kunpeng Guardian's soul; he cared not for anything else—the demonic soul was his sole aim.

This battle cannot proceed without him; with so many forces acting together, if the Kunpeng Guardian does not die, they cannot justify their mobilization.

"They've all arrived, one by one; many people have shown up—individuals rarely seen in decades have come this time."

"Heavenly Heart Sect's Xin Wuhen, the Mulong family's Mulong Tian, the Heavenly Capital Dragon King, and this Daoist friend from the Blue Sky Gate—tch tch tch."

He turned his head; Yi Menghan and Bi Luochun appeared, and a figure stood before them.

The Heavenly Azure Sage stepped forward, Bi Luochun respectfully stood behind him; he was neither frightened nor knelt.

Yi Menghan likewise held firm.

The two were extremely respectful, daring not a hint of slackness.

"Master, when did you arrive?" Bi Luochun whispered.

The Heavenly Azure Sage turned back, "When the master arrives, must I tell you?"

"Of course not; the master comes whenever he wishes, and I dare not interfere with his affairs," Bi Luochun quickly shook his head.

"You know best." The Heavenly Azure Sage, arms crossed behind his back, stared at the Kunpeng Guardian's figure, coldly saying, "The Kunpeng Guardian came himself—tch tch tch—he must be very angry, otherwise there wouldn't be such a commotion."

"No one came from the Ten Thousand Demons Hall; did he sneak out? Our time is short—only three days."

"Kill it within three days."

The Ten Thousand Demons Hall of Lingzhou rushed here, even at the fastest pace it would take three days; the swiftest among them is the Kunpeng Guardian, who is already here, while others would need time to arrive.

This period is their final deadline; they must kill the Kunpeng Guardian within it.

"Master, three days should be enough," Bi Luochun said confidently; with so many strong ones appearing, the Kunpeng Guardian's death is inevitable.

The Heavenly Azure Sage shook his head, "Do not underestimate the Kunpeng Guardian; this being is very strong—killing it within three days is not easy."

"Disciple, and you, Yi Menghan, once the battle starts, immediately withdraw from the Mangshan Mountain Range, staying as far from the battlefield as possible."

"Yes, master." Bi Luochun had wanted to flee, but now the master arrived; with the master's command, he can safely depart.

Yi Menghan raised no objection; whatever Bi Luochun does, he will do likewise.

Above the Mangshan Demon Palace.

The Heavenly Capital Dragon King and Diewumeng stepped out, Lan Tiansheng instantly appeared behind them, and Black Tiger emerged, obedient yet still swaggering.

However, this arrogance was directed only at others, not at Diewumeng nor the Heavenly Capital Dragon King; the myriad beasts of the Mangshan Demon Palace had long been prepared, and at a single command would strike the Kunpeng Guardian.

The crowd lifted their heads, meeting the Kunpeng Guardian's gaze.

The massive silhouette in the sky began to shrink, taking human form; the Kunpeng Guardian slowly descended, standing above the Mangshan Demon Palace, and said low, "Diewumeng, Demon Emperor, what do you mean?"

Diewumeng quickly smiled, "Kunpeng Guardian, we have been specially awaiting your arrival; so many strong ones are waiting for the Dharma Protector—how do you feel?"

The Kunpeng Guardian glanced around, the Formation activated.

He is within the Formation.

The massive Formation enveloped the entire Mangshan Demon Palace and the surrounding Mangshan Mountain Range.

The Formation rose, covering the Kunpeng Guardian and everyone else.

The battle is about to erupt.
