Chapter 110: Unexpected Harvest
Even though this was his first time facing an opponent close to a Saint and he had the advantage from the start, it does not mean that Zhou Yi's strength has already reached such astonishing heights.
Even though the Great Achievement's saint body can compare with the flawless Great Emperor, and with the Zhetian Imperial Method added, Zhou Yi is indeed not to be underestimated, yet in the Vast Wilderness World he is confronting two Quasi Saint‑level strongmen.
When facing the Ming He Ancestor and the Great Peng Bird, he still must give his all and cannot easily suppress them.
The main reason is that the current Ming He Ancestor and the Great Peng Bird are both heavily wounded, far weaker than in their peak.
The Wan Huo Ancestor's sudden self‑detonation caught everyone off guard; even with the abilities of the Ming He Ancestor and the Great Peng Bird, they could only avoid fatal injury, which proves their strength.
However, Zhou Yi seized this once‑in‑a‑millennium opportunity and launched an offensive.
The Ming He Ancestor and the Great Peng Bird know they cannot easily abandon the Hongmeng purple aura, so they grit their teeth and fight Zhou Yi.
The fierce battle among the three strongmen spread over tens of thousands of li; any Great Luo Golden Immortal who entered the battlefield would instantly vanish.
As the fight deepened, the Ming He Ancestor and the Great Peng Bird were shocked by Zhou Yi's almost indestructible flesh; even the Preheavenly Spiritual Treasure could hardly inflict substantive damage.
On the contrary, Zhou Yi fought bare‑handed, each strike imbued with destructive power, forcing the enemies to keep retreating.
Especially the Great Peng Bird, faced with Zhou Yi's fierce assault, felt both anger and fear, sensing a grave threat to its life, and even began to consider retreat.
This is mainly because, compared with the Ming He Ancestor, the Great Peng Bird's power is slightly inferior, and the injuries it sustained in the Wan Huo Ancestor's self‑detonation are heavier.
Moreover, the Ming He Ancestor is not only a senior Quasi Saint, but also gained a massive boost by imitating Nüwa to create the Asura clan.
He possesses the two great Preheavenly Spiritual Treasures, the A'bi Yuan Tu and the Flaming Red Lotus, the latter being one of the top twelve lotus platforms, almost symbolizing invincibility.
Legend says that as long as the Sea of Blood does not run dry, the Ming He Ancestor will not fall, making his elimination almost an impossible task.
In contrast, as a member of the Demon Race, the Great Peng Bird is inferior to the Ming He Ancestor in both treasure and cultivation, and the conflict between the Human Race and the Demon Race is inevitable, promising a great war in the future.
To weaken the Demon Race's strength, if he can eliminate the Great Peng Bird early, Zhou Yi will certainly not miss any chance to strike.
Zhou Yi gave his all, two great omens appearing simultaneously; his saint body's strength was unrivaled as he launched a series of fierce attacks on the Ming He Ancestor and the Great Peng Bird.
The Ming He Ancestor and the Great Peng Bird could not parry, falling back step by step, looking extremely embarrassed.
If such a battle scene were spread, it would surely leave people speechless.
After all, the Ming He Ancestor and the Great Peng Bird are top masters in the Vast Wilderness World; even their joint effort being forced into such a mess by an unknown foot soldier is truly unbelievable.
"No! If this continues, I fear I'll truly meet my end here!" As the fight progressed, the Great Peng Bird grew increasingly fearful, finally deciding to abandon the struggle for the Hongmeng purple aura and fled.
"Try to run? Where could you go?" Zhou Yi shouted, pursuing relentlessly. At this moment, the Ming He Ancestor became an outsider, but he knew that in the previous situation, suppressing Zhou Yi and seizing the Hongmeng purple aura had become a mirage.
"Hmph! I'll remember your face; once I heal and return, I'll settle the score!" After the Ming He Ancestor made up his mind, he fled alone toward the Sea of Blood.
The Ming He Ancestor's departure hit Zhou Yi's target, allowing him to devote himself fully to the chase of the Great Peng Bird.
Although in terms of speed, few in the Vast Wilderness World can match the Great Peng Bird aside from Saints, the Great Peng Bird soon realized something was wrong.
Zhou Yi's speed turned out to be faster than his, and the distance between them was rapidly closing.
"How is this possible? Such a robust flesh and such speed—could it compare to the Spatial Patriarch Emperor Jiang?" the Great Peng Bird thought, filled with terror.
One should know that in the Vast Wilderness World, when it comes to speed, only the Patriarch Emperor Jiang, who masters spatial law, can rival the Great Peng Bird.
However, Zhou Yi is not Emperor Jiang; he is a cultivator possessing the Xing‑zi Secret, one of the Nine Secrets, a method said to be ultra‑fast, and when refined to the extreme can even touch the mysterious temporal realm.
Although Zhou Yi has not yet fully mastered the power of the Nine Secrets, the ability he displayed is already astonishing.
With the aid of the Xing‑zi Secret, Zhou Yi gradually closed in on the Great Peng Bird and finally caught up.
In the Great Peng Bird's shocked gaze, Zhou Yi gathered his whole strength and, with his saint body, delivered a fatal blow.
"Destroy!"
As if destiny ordained, the Great Peng Bird cannot escape this calamity today.
Zhou Yi luckily activated the mysterious 'Jie' secret, instantly boosting his attack power tenfold.
Then he employed the 'Lin' secret, ushering himself into a divine restriction realm; this strike instantly became an unprecedented supreme blow.
Feeling the terrifying power that could cause its own extinction, the Great Peng Bird's face showed panic as it shouted loudly, "Demon Emperor, help!"
In an instant, layers of space were torn, and a massive golden bell radiating world‑shattering aura, surrounded by Chaos energy, surged through time and space.
"Clang! Clang! Clang!"
The bell's toll echoed, the entire Vast Wilderness World trembling, endless temporal‑spatial vibrations persisting, and an unmatched force instantly locked onto Zhou Yi.
"Chaos Bell? Hmph, Great Peng Bird, you think this Chaos Bell can save you?" Zhou Yi mocked loudly.
Immediately after, a Yin‑Yang life‑death diagram flew into the sky, with splendid mountains and rivers appearing upon it, and a golden bitter sea also manifested.
Five omens converged in one spot; Zhou Yi instantly shattered the spacetime fixed by the Primordial Treasure Chaos Bell, and a single strike directly hit the Great Peng Bird.
Afterwards, Zhou Yi, disregarding the Great Peng Bird's life or death, swiftly used a secret method to break space and flee the scene.
A roar came from behind him, emanating from the Chaos Bell, but it was too late; they could only watch Zhou Yi vanish through space.
When the silver dragon is reborn, the knight's glory returns!
Taiyi Shen only heard the Great Peng Bird's distress signal, then deployed the Primordial Treasure Chaos Bell to come to the rescue.
Because of the great distance, Taiyi Shen could only have the Chaos Bell traverse time and space to arrive, which was already the limit.
Having left through time and space via a secret method, Zhou Yi could not be stopped even by Taiyi Shen, who wields the Primordial Treasure Chaos Bell.
Currently, Zhou Yi does not wish to easily reveal his existence, nor let anyone know that the Human Race already has a Quasi Saint‑level strongman.
If it weren't for this, Zhou Yi would truly like to compare himself with Taiyi Shen, who possesses the Primordial Treasure, to see how strong this Demon Race supreme truly is.
However, on this trip to Fire Cloud Cave, Zhou Yi's goal was achieved, and the Great Peng Bird turned out to be an unexpected gain.
Taiyi Shen thought that with the Chaos Bell's ability to shatter spacetime, he could fix spacetime and thus save the Great Peng Bird.
But he never imagined that Zhou Yi had mastered five supreme omens.
