Chapter 683 - 682: Characteristics of Spore Group, Achievements Made by Shooting Off One’s Mouth

This move of Li Jing’s was a pure show of superiority.

The Golden Winged Dapeng was somewhat stunned at that moment.

Unlike the previously half-dead Saint.

The Golden Winged Dapeng lying in the coffin was completely unaware of the outside world, having fallen into a deep slumber in order to survive.

At this moment.

He was incredibly confused.

He who should have been sleeping in the shattered Ancient Fairyland had inexplicably appeared in another space level, let alone the coffins’ lid being lifted.

And that wasn’t the worst of it.

The Ancestral Dragon, who had disappeared unknowingly many years before he fell into sleep, appeared in front of him, teamed up with a human cultivator to trick him.

The Ancestral Dragon was not something the Golden Winged Dapeng would underestimate.

Not to mention its distinct transformation from the past.

Even when the Ancestral Dragon had not disappeared in the past, its power was among the top echelons within the primordial bunch.

But there was a human cultivator in front of him now.

No way would the Golden Winged Dapeng regard him highly.

After all, he was once the master of the Ancient Fairyland.

Let alone having all the cultivators in the Ancient Fairyland submit to him, he held sway over the life and death of all beings in the Ancient Fairyland.

A mere human...

Dares to trick him!

Now, facing Li Jing’s humiliating death threat, the Golden Winged Dapeng was furious and shocked.

But it was this outrage that cleared his confused mind somewhat, forcing him to critically assess the situation.

Without a doubt.

The Ancestral Dragon was in cahoots with the young man in front of him.

If the Ancestral Dragon could collaborate with him, the young man must not be simple.

And it was clear.

He was brought here not by the Ancestral Dragon that had disappeared for countless years.

Both being primordial beasts.

Even if they had some grudges, the Ancestral Dragon would not bother or kick him when he was down while he was at the brink of death.

The primordial one has levels and factions.

It’s common for different levels and factions to group together, even clashes between groups occur frequently.

The Golden Winged Dapeng and the Ancestral Dragon were both part of the Divine Beast faction.

Belonging to the same faction, there’s no reason to bother or offend unless necessary.

Therefore.

He was brought here by Li Jing...

The fact that he could be taken away from the Ancient Fairyland says a lot.

Summing up.

This youngster...

It’s possible he really has the capability to kill him.

Key is, he is no longer the magnificent master of the Ancient Fairyland nor the proud primordial he was once.

The Golden Winged Dapeng forced himself to calm down as he stared at Li Jing who was standing in front of him.

"Who... exactly are you? Why do you want to harm me? And why am I here?"

Seeing the Golden Winged Dapeng had calmed down, Li Jing gave a slight smile.

"I’m no big shot, just an ordinary human cultivator."

As he spoke, he signaled the Ancestral Dragon with a wave of his hand.

The Ancestral Dragon understood, retracting the giant claw restraining the Golden Winged Dapeng.

Li Jing then continued speaking.

"As for why you’re here, it’s a long story, and no need to tell. You just need to know you were picked up by me."

As he talked, he continued.

"If I really wanted to harm you, you would have been dealt with in the last hundred years. Right now, I just need a test object to solve a problem. If the matter can be resolved, it’s good for you and me. After all, we can receive thanks from the Will of Heaven of one Big World afterward."

The Golden Winged Dapeng was silent.

The gratitude of the Big World’s Heavenly Path is indeed enticing.

Especially for the half-dead him, it could likely be an opportunity for him to rise again.

There’s nothing that can’t be changed by the favor of the Heavenly Path.

In reality.

The existence of the primordial itself, is a result of favor from the Heavenly Path for the origin of all beings thus making it so special.

The logic is simple.

Li Jing’s tricking of an almost dead primordial is indeed disgraceful.

Not only did he not ask for his permission, he just opened his coffin lid as he wished.

What now?

Think he’s easy to bully?

In the past, the Golden-winged Roc would certainly make one pay a painful price.

But today is different.

He’s not sure if he still has that ability.

And from a factual point of view.

Compared to the Ancestral Dragon, he was indeed much easier to bully...

Getting up and settling down like an old hen, the Golden-winged Roc looked down at the Destruction Spore Group that covered his whole body and then cast his eyes on a certain person.

"You’d better solve this problem, otherwise..."

Before finishing his words, Li Jing spoke.

"Otherwise, you will really die."

The Golden-winged Roc fell silent again.

Unlike the Ancestral Dragon who, although infested, could remain unscathed, he, who had been tragically trapped, could not preserve himself as he was constantly being eroded by the Destruction Spore Group.

In fact.

At this moment, spores had already invaded the shallow layers of his flesh and began to divide and multiply.

The problem wouldn’t surface now.

But in due course, he who had made it through such dramatic transformations would surely perish at the hands of this weird creature.

After a moment of silence, the Golden-winged Roc lifted his head and glanced at the Ancestral Dragon who was nearly in the same predicament as himself, and even seemed in a more miserable state visually. He turned his head and said in a low voice to Li Jing.

"Don’t waste time, do what you can, otherwise even if I become a ghost, I will not..."

Before finishing his words, Li Jing spoke indifferently.

"I don’t like being threatened."

"..."

Golden-winged Roc.

This guy...

Why is he so shameless and annoying?

He was the one who tricked himself into a deadly situation, yet he wouldn’t allow himself to snap back?

Just as he was about to retort, Li Jing lifted his hand and lightly snapped his fingers.

With a "crackle", the blazing Phoenix Heavenly Fire suddenly enveloped the Golden-winged Roc, and in an instant, turned him into a turkey.

Sensing the sudden attack, the Golden-winged Roc was completely taken by surprise.

By the time he reacted, the hot Phoenix Heavenly Fire had already charred his golden feathers into a blackened state and invaded his body.

Pain.

An agonizing pain.

From this moment.

He no longer doubted whether Li Jing could kill him.

The Phoenix Heavenly Fire controlled by Li Jing was at the level of the Sixteenth Realm!

At this level.

It wouldn’t be enough to kill a primal being.

But he was no longer a primal being.

For a cultivator to reach the level of the Sixteenth Realm means that they truly have the potential to stand above the world.

Li Jing might be still weak in the face of primal beings, but the Sixteenth Realm meant breaking the realm restriction and having limitless upward potential, with endless possibilities for the future.

At present, the Golden-winged Roc could only bear the pain gritting his teeth.

High above.

The Ancestral Dragon watched as Li Jing effortlessly wielded the Phoenix Heavenly Fire of the Sixteenth Realm and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

To wield such a level of Phoenix Heavenly Fire, it is not simply a matter of reaching such a realm.

There are many varieties of Heavenly Fire, each with its own characteristics and constraints for wielding.

The Phoenix Heavenly Fire is so named because it belongs exclusively to the Phoenix Tribe.

Only those with a Phoenix Bloodline or those who have received a special inheritance from the Phoenix Tribe can wield the Phoenix Heavenly Fire.

It’s one thing to be able to wield it.

But to make the Phoenix Heavenly Fire break free from the limits of the realm along with one’s own realm is another...

Li Jing, who inherently has inherited some Dragon Clan Bloodline from him, obviously couldn’t have the Phoenix Bloodline.

If he did a "mixed breeding," his thin bloodline would be diluted due to the mutual cancellation of the different forces of the two bloodlines, and thus fail to awaken.

Therefore.

Li Jing has received a top-level inheritance of the Phoenix Tribe that allows him to wield the Phoenix Heavenly Fire and break free from its constraints.

This is getting interesting.

The Phoenix Tribe and the Dragon Clan have deep ties since ancient times. The power of the Phoenix and the power of the Dragon may combine with each other.

If one day Li Jing can master the method...

As these thoughts were running through the mind of the Ancestral Dragon.

Li Jing extinguished the Phoenix Heavenly Fire burning the golden-winged Dapeng with a wave of his hand. He frowned, opened one hand, and condensed a Phoenix Heavenly Fire in his palm. Then he refined a strand of Dragon Origin into it.

Naturally.

The two blended together, becoming one.

Following that.

The crimson Phoenix Heavenly Fire turned into a golden flame.

Aside from releasing an extraordinarily dangerous aura, the flame formed the phantom image of a dragon and a phoenix entwining each other, with faint dragon roars and phoenix cries resonating from within.

!!!

Ancestral Dragon.

Just as he wondered what would happen if Li Jing could one day unify two forces, someone suddenly seemed to have a revelation and then easily accomplished what should have been difficult to achieve.

On the other side.

The Golden Winged Dapeng was shocked on the spot by Li Jing’s performance.

"This won’t do!"

Li Jing looked up as he heard the voice, closed his fist, and extinguished the golden flame in his hand.

"Don’t worry, I’m not that muddled."

The Golden Winged Dapeng didn’t make a sound, but the expression on his almost eagle-like head was incredibly human.

As if saying.

Brother, I’m afraid you really are muddled!

Even though he didn’t speak, the Golden Winged Dapeng couldn’t help but scrutinize Li Jing.

This kid...

The more you look at him, the more outrageous he becomes.

It’s one thing to be able to control the Sixteenth Realm-level Phoenix Heavenly Fire, but to have countless Dragon Origins desired by the Dragon Clan in a high-level form inside him is another.

And that’s not all.

He even has the ability to easily combine two powers...

Recalling Li Jing’s previous words, the Golden Winged Dapeng was in complete chaos.

What an average man!

At this moment.

He even doubted whether Li Jing was really a human.

In the cultivation of humans, indeed, some own the bloodline of the Dragon Clan or Phoenix Clan, and there are also those who can control the power of both clans.

But for Li Jing to control two powers and combine them as casually as he did, it’s truly outrageous!

At least in the long life of the Golden Winged Dapeng.

He had never seen a human cultivator who could accomplish what Li Jing did.

While trying to figure out if he’s some kind of Alien Species disguised as human through scrutiny, the Golden Winged Dapeng’s body shook, and numerous black hairs burst forth from the singed golden feathers on his body like bamboo shoots after the rain.

Seeing this, Li Jing slightly raised his eyebrows.

That the Phoenix Heavenly Fire couldn’t eradicate the Destruction Spore Group from the root wasn’t surprising.

Yet the regeneration of the Destruction Spore Group was noticeably slower than when he destroyed it with Heavenly Punishment before, and its growth wasn’t as outrageous either.

High in the sky, Ancestral Dragon noticed the same thing and let out a surprised "eh".

"Boy, do you have a way to improve the quality of the Phoenix Heavenly Fire by another level?"

!!!

Golden Winged Dapeng.

Li Jing looked up and shook his head.

"I can’t do that, my current strength only allows for what just happened. Besides, even if I could, I’m not sure this one could withstand it."

As he spoke, he casually glanced at the health bar above the Golden Winged Dapeng’s head. It showed ??? but began to slowly decrease after the Destruction Spore Group’s infestation.

The Golden Winged Dapeng was truly too fragile at the moment.

Aside from the erosion of the Destruction Spore Group.

Just now, he’d casually burned it, and its health bar visibly lost a small segment.

Though this was far from being fatal, it easily lost so much blood that the Golden Winged Dapeng was clearly all bark and no bite.

His strength might not have declined much.

However, there was no doubt that his vitality was at rock bottom.

At this moment.

Ancestral Dragon spoke again.

"In that case, blend the Dragon Origin and Phoenix Heavenly Fire and let me see."

Hearing this request, Li Jing chuckled.

"Senior, there’s no need. It’s not that I think I can hurt you, but it’s pointless."

While speaking, he said.

"Senior, you obviously noticed the abnormal healing and growth of the Destruction Spore Group. I think it’s not that the Phoenix Heavenly Fire has a special effect on them, but a matter of the nature of the power. The Phoenix Heavenly Fire in my hands, although powerful, is far inferior to Heavenly Punishment both in nature and class, which might be the main reason for the Destruction Spore Group’s slower recovery and less extravagant growth."

Hearing Li Jing’s words, Ancestral Dragon paused for a moment, seemed thoughtful, and then nodded.

"That does seem to be presumptuous of me, you can try it with other powers and see how it goes."

Li Jing nodded, took out the Taoist Snow Sound, and strummed its strings.

"Thud!"

As the sound resonated, the rules of ice and snow were enacted simultaneously, instantly transforming the Gold Wing Roc who did not even get a chance to utter a word into an ice sculpture.

The next second.

The ice and snow that had frozen the Gold Wing Roc shattered, bringing down countless Destruction Spore Groups on his surface.

After a while, the ice sculpture landed on the ground.

The Destruction Spore Group on the body of the Gold Wing Roc regrew.

Not just that.

The Destruction Spore Group, which was frozen and separated, also regrew into a patch and quickly attached itself to his body.

Seeing this, the sharp eyes of the Gold Wing Roc twitched, and he voiced his shock.

"The possibilities of the nature of the power you mentioned makes sense, but this method clearly doesn’t work. These damn things will multiply like division if they’re not directly destroyed."

Li Jing nodded.

The extent of the level of the nature of power indeed significantly influenced the regrowth and propagation of the Destruction Spore Group.

However, if it’s not directly destroyed, there will be an additional division and propagation.

Li Jing pondered, chin in hand, before speaking.

"Besides being hard to eliminate fundamentally, the Destruction Spore Group clearly has the ability to absorb external force to nourish itself, regrow, and multiply."

The Gold Wing Roc fell silent.

The Ancestral Dragon voiced its contemplation.

"This is unsolvable."

"On the surface, it does seem insolvable. After all, even the power of Heavenly Punishment can be absorbed as nourishment. I’m afraid there’s nothing the Destruction Spore Group can’t absorb."

Li Jing continued, saying,

"But presently we can attempt to utilize their need to absorb external force as nourishment. We can try to eradicate the Destruction Spore Group with a non-external force to solve its parasitism issue. At least, you two won’t be hosts anymore."

Hearing this, both the Ancestral Dragon and the Gold Wing Roc remained silent.

The reason.

Everyone understood it.

Li Jing indeed had good insights.

Without much effort, he found out that the Destruction Spore Group absorbed external forces to regenerate and multiply.

But without using external force, how could one remove the "sticky" Destruction Spore Group from its host?

Just as this thought occurred, Li Jing pointed towards the Gold Wing Roc.

"God says, this beast shall not be infringed."

Along with his words, the Supreme God Power took effect.

The domain of the King’s Power unfolded.

The Destruction Spore Group that was enchanted on the body of the Gold Wing Roc suddenly fell off, and those inside his body were expelled.

Both the Gold Wing Roc and the Ancestral Dragon widened their eyes at this scene.

The crucial part was that Li Jing’s move was completely unexpected by the two.

The verbal cannon.

It was exclusive to the Western Gods.

In the God Clan System, usually only a limited number of top gods have the ability to use a verbal cannon, and the power of the rules formulated by the verbal cannon may not be great.

Let alone that Li Jing could use a verbal cannon.

The power it held was this great and could affect the Destruction Spore Group.

This damn...

Is it more than just outrageous?

The two were in shock.

More outrageous scenes appeared.

The Destruction Spore Group that left the Gold Wing Roc lost its host. Seemingly intelligent, it knew it couldn’t parasitize him again. Instead of rushing towards Li Jing, it burrowed into the sand and disappeared.

?

Gold Wing Roc.

?

Ancestral Dragon.

This...

What’s going on?

Normally, the Destruction Spore Group should go find Li Jing.

To that, Li Jing himself wasn’t surprised.

With the unfolding of the King’s Power domain.

He himself was inviolable.

The Destruction Spore Group could sense that the Gold Wing Roc couldn’t be targeted, and naturally wouldn’t head towards him.

Now, the Destruction Spore Group collectively "burrowed into the ground", which made Li Jing rather concerned.
