Chapter 89: Nourishing the Kunpeng in the Cave Heaven, Emerging from the Divine Nest

"Boom..."

"Bang..."

"Kill!"

"Hand over the Kunpeng Treasure Bone, and I will spare your life."

Outside the Hua Mo Cave, on the altar, tens of thousands of creatures were slaughtering each other; the great battle had reached a white-hot intensity.

For the sake of the Kunpeng Precious Technique, this place had become a river of blood, with piles of heads and severed limbs, and blood continuously splashing about.

Tens of thousands of creatures fought for supremacy, scrambling for the Kunpeng Treasure Bone, and the people of every race had killed until their eyes were bloodshot.

This precious technique was of immense importance; if obtained and comprehended, it could allow a clan to rise rapidly, becoming the master of the Huangyu or even the entire Bayu, with no rivals left.

Looking around now, there was nothing but slaughter, with Runes burning and filling the heavens and earth; no one knew how many creatures had already died.

This battle had lasted for over ten days, a bloody war that raged on, spilling out from the altar and into other stone chambers, a scene of total chaos.

The six previously scattered Kunpeng Treasure Bones had already been seized by different people, and many magical artifacts were discovered one after another during the bloody battle.

Among them was the Tianhuang Battle Halberd of the Kunpeng; these artifacts possessed astonishing power, driving everyone into a frenzy, and for a time, all the creatures set their sights on these artifacts.

However, to their surprise, the Tianhuang Battle Halberd suddenly shone brilliantly, and with a slight shake, the chaotic divine light it scattered easily annihilated a crowd of creatures before it abruptly tore through the void and vanished.

Following the disappearance of the Tianhuang Battle Halberd, the other various magical artifacts followed suit, and the creatures nearby were reduced to ashes before they departed.

"Rumble..."

As the magical artifacts vanished and hid, the entire Kunpeng Dojo shook violently; the altar collapsed into ruins, and streaks of divine light shot up before finally sinking into the sea and disappearing.

In an instant, the Venerables of various races rushed in, once again launching a fierce struggle for the ownership of the Kunpeng Treasure Bone.

Among them, Yun Venerable and Qingluan Venerable from Taigu Shenshan both arrived; when Qingluan Venerable learned from Yun Xi and the others that his grandson had died at the hands of Shi Hao, he was filled with hatred and vowed to kill Shi Hao.

But alas, he also learned from Yun Xi and the others that Shi Hao, Mengchen, and the others had all been knocked into the Hua Mo Cave and were already dead, so the extremely furious Qingluan Venerable had no choice but to accept it with deep resentment.

It was the same afterward; the number of people from various races killed by Shi Hao and Mengchen was truly too high, including quite a few Venerables, so when the ancestors of the various races arrived and learned that their clansmen had suffered heavy casualties, they all wanted to kill the two of them personally to vent their hatred.

But as they gradually learned the news of the two's deaths, this hatred could only disappear with deep unwillingness.

Subsequently, the turmoil continued for several more months over the struggle for the Kunpeng Treasure Bone.

Now, this sea area was finally calm, and everyone had left.

In the stone chamber of the Hua Mo Cave, the light was brilliant, with ten thousand streaks of divine mist and countless Runes dancing.

Quietly, with a "Boom," the Cave Heaven of Mengchen and Shi Hao opened, and within one of their respective Cave Heavens, a Kunpeng opened its eyes.

They had begun nourishing spirits earlier; a black Kun fish and a golden Peng bird had evolved and merged into a true Kunpeng after these months of gestation, and now it was a true manifestation, granting it life. At this moment, there was a majestic aura of life in their two Cave Heavens, and both contained a powerful spiritual will.

Especially the Kunpeng Cave Heaven now, where a Kunpeng spread its wings, looking down upon the world with an invincible spirit; its entire body was brilliant gold with black markings, containing the profound True Meaning of Great Dao.

In a trance, it was as if a real Kunpeng had been resurrected, soaring above the Nine Heavens, proud of the primordial universe, and invincible in all directions.

"Nourishing a Kunpeng in the Cave Heaven, it is done!"

Mengchen suddenly awoke; he knew that although he had not yet fully comprehended the Kunpeng Precious Technique, the Kunpeng Spirit Body nourished by this Cave Heaven was already capable of displaying considerable power, far exceeding the precious techniques of those Pure-blooded Creatures.

In the future, as he comprehended it more thoroughly, the power of the precious technique would increase accordingly, so for now, there was no need to be overly concerned; after all, complete enlightenment was not a task for a single day.

Now, besides the eleventh Cave Heaven that nourished his soul's True Self, Mengchen had already separately nourished the Eight-Part Heavenly Dragons, Red Lotus Dharma Finger, Traces of Heavenly Dao, and the Kunpeng Precious Technique—four supreme precious techniques—within his other ten Cave Heavens.

As for the remaining six Cave Heavens, Mengchen could have refined and nourished them simultaneously, but he did not do so; he wanted to leave these vacancies for later, to refine and nourish them after he gained more powerful precious techniques and attained the other three Supreme Bone techniques.

Therefore, he exited his cultivation state, while Shi Hao on the side was still continuously refining; in his several Cave Heavens, besides the Kunpeng and Mythical Lion, he had manifested a sword embryo, a Tower, a Bell, a Tripod, and a battle halberd.

While waiting, time passed slowly; Mengchen had grown taller without realizing it, becoming even more handsome, his eyes flashing, and his whole person exuded an incomparable aura of confidence, full of sunshine.

The Tianhu girl on the side had also become increasingly alluring, her exquisite figure becoming fuller, her pretty face always carrying a smile that could bewitch all living things, and her every word and action full of charm.

This day, Shi Hao opened his eyes; he had completed the nourishing of spirits in his Cave Heaven.

He stood up and stretched his muscles and bones, which crackled; he had also grown taller than before.

"Since Brother Shi Hao has also succeeded, it is time for us to leave."

Mengchen said, and then he unfurled his orange monk's robe, rushing out of the Hua Mo Cave with a "swish"; following him, Shi Hao carried Maoqiu, and together with the Tianhu girl, Heizi, and others, they rushed out of the cave.

Because the altar had collapsed, the entire Hua Mo Cave was buried by giant rocks; a Kunpeng in Mengchen's Cave Heaven soared up, and with a "Rumble," it crushed everything, carving out a huge passage.

Finally, their group escaped the Hua Mo Cave, rushed out of the ruins, and stood on the blue sea, enjoying the natural sea breeze on their faces.

For a moment, their clothes fluttered and rustled, as if they were immortals about to ride the wind and return.

Soon, two large black ships in the distance came into their view; those were the Ghost Ships that Mengchen and Shi Hao had respectively piloted, the terrifying existences that other creatures regarded as taboo.

They glided over the blue sea and soon boarded the Ghost Ships.

This also signaled the perfect conclusion to their journey; from setting sail until now, it had been nearly three years, and this trip to the Kunpeng Divine Nest had finally come to an end.

Although three years had passed, the growth during these three years could not be ignored.

Not to mention the Kunpeng Precious Technique obtained, first of all, the extreme breakthrough of Body Becoming Spiritual and the soul's True Self was already a tremendous achievement; for the vast majority of other creatures, this was a height they would never reach.

Three years had allowed the once young and cute Mengchen to grow quite a bit, becoming heroic and sharp, with an invincible momentum beneath his handsome exterior.
