"Screech!"
The Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng let out a piercing cry as its demonic energy surged toward the heavens. Radiating a brilliant light, the Heavenly Peng Battling Dragon Diagram manifested above its head in an attempt to shake off the interference from Heavenly Silkworm True Monarch. Despite its efforts, the creature remained inexplicably restless, its qi-blood churning violently throughout its body.
"Another turtle shell!"
Lu Changsheng realized that the Heavenly Silkworm True Monarch standing before him would be difficult to take down, as the man's Lifebound Spiritual Treasure was focused entirely on defense.
Under these circumstances, shattering his protection in a short window of time would be an arduous task.
Furthermore, the enemy wasn't targeting him directly; instead, the opponent sought to drain his strength and disrupt the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng!
If the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng were to be compromised, Lu Changsheng would have no hope of escaping the pursuit of the three cultivators behind him.
"Buzz buzz buzz!"
Inside Lu Changsheng’s robes, the Sun and Moon Taiji Mysterious Light Mirror vibrated frantically, signaling the rapid approach of Ming Sha True Monarch and Yun Mei Monarch.
"Golden Peng, retreat!"
Lu Changsheng made a swift decision, ordering the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng to pull back first. He planned to find an opportunity for an ambush, using the Sun and Moon Taiji Mysterious Light Mirror to finally crack that stubborn turtle shell.
"You think you can leave?"
Seeing their movement, Heavenly Silkworm True Monarch unleashed his silken web magical treasure once more, desperate to block their path.
"Clang!"
Lu Changsheng erupted with his full power. A magnificent sword light streaked out like a shimmering meteor, carving a path through the silken web treasure.
"Roar!!!"
Crystalline silk threads and a white, mist-like gas exploded from Heavenly Silkworm True Monarch’s body, spreading wildly through the air.
He then hurled a Fourth Rank Talisman at Lu Changsheng. The talisman transformed into a massive tiger dozens of feet long, which unleashed a terrifying sonic roar before pouncing forward.
The Brahman Demon True Body manifested in response. Its six arms hammered the air like a divine demon beating war drums, striking out against the phantom of the giant tiger.
However, the fierce tiger’s roar—a sonic assault—was actually aimed at the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng.
Between the True Monarch’s divine ability and the sudden activation of the Fourth Rank Talisman, the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng’s internal rhythm was thrown into chaos, despite its True Spirit Level Bloodline.
"Screech!"
Fighting to stay conscious, the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng gave a long cry. The Heavenly Peng Battling Dragon Diagram seemed to weave into the Yin Yang Chart, allowing it to carry Lu Changsheng through the blockade and soar away.
"This Golden Peng is truly remarkable; even under the influence of my secret techniques and the specialized medicine from Beast God Mountain, it can still fight down its primal agitation!"
Heavenly Silkworm True Monarch was stunned to see the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng maintaining its composure.
Knowing the bird was already affected, he refused to let it slip away. He summoned a flying magical treasure, his mountain-like frame launching forward like a cannonball. He continued to use his divine abilities and the Heavenly Silkworm Robe to harass and intercept the beast.
But as he faced Lu Changsheng’s peerless sword light and the Brahman Demon True Body, the glow of his Heavenly Silkworm Robe began to fade, forcing him to temper his aggression.
"Damn it, I’m going to smash that shell of yours to pieces!"
Lu Changsheng could tell that Heavenly Silkworm True Monarch’s raw combat power was lower than that of Ming Sha True Monarch.
The problem was the sheer number of enemies closing in.
In a one-on-one fight, he was confident he could have already slain this Nascent Soul Cultivator.
"Golden Peng, hang on!"
Another burst of sword light forced Heavenly Silkworm True Monarch back. Lu Changsheng turned his attention to the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng. The Nine Treasures Ruyi Bone in his chest emitted a profound light, as he used his own Magic Power Origin to steady the beast's condition.
Simultaneously, he funneled Yin Yang Magic Power into the Golden Peng to check its internal state.
The Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng communicated that its mind was becoming clouded and its body exhausted. A strange force was causing its demonic power and qi-blood to become turbulent and unstable.
Had it not been a True Spirit Level Demon Beast with absolute devotion to Lu Changsheng, it would have already succumbed to madness and lost all reason.
"I still underestimated these Nascent Soul Cultivators. Their direct combat strength might be average, but as old monsters who have lived for centuries, their auxiliary methods are truly formidable."
Lu Changsheng’s heart grew heavy. Through the Sun and Moon Taiji Mysterious Light Mirror, he could feel Ming Sha True Monarch and Yun Mei Monarch drawing closer.
"The Peng Bird is already suffering from my Heavenly Silkworm Breath and the Beast God Mountain’s secret medicine. It will soon lose its mind and turn violent. Do not let it escape!"
Heavenly Silkworm True Monarch sent a message to his allies, urging them to pursue with everything they had to avoid any further trouble.
Lu Changsheng’s battle prowess was shocking, nearly matching that of a Nascent Soul expert. They were determined to hunt him down relentlessly to ensure no accidents occurred.
"Damn."
Lu Changsheng watched as the three pursuers began burning their essence blood and longevity to maintain the chase. He looked back at the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng, knowing it couldn't withstand Heavenly Silkworm True Monarch’s influence much longer.
"If that's how it is, then I’ll just have to kill my way out!"
A cold light flickered in Lu Changsheng’s eyes. He knew that stalling would only lead to his downfall; it was time to go all out.
Though the three enemies appeared powerful, they were not a united front.
If he showed a willingness to die taking them with him, or if he managed to severely wound or kill one of them, the others would surely hesitate to risk their lives in a final struggle.
If all else failed, he was prepared to burn his own life span and Spirit Treasure Origin to unleash the Solar Mysterious Light and vaporize all three of them.
"With the 'Mystic Dragon Nirvana Pill,' even if I am pushed to the brink of death, I can quickly return to my peak and perhaps even break through to the next level!"
Over time, Lu Changsheng had realized that ordinary wounds weren't enough to trigger the full power of the Mystic Dragon Nirvana Pill.
He decided it would be better to manually overload the Nine Treasures Ruyi Bone, pushing his physical body to its absolute limit to force the medicine to activate.
It would be agonizing, but if it meant taking down a Nascent Soul, the price was worth paying.
"Golden Peng, head toward that direction."
Having resolved his path, Lu Changsheng scanned the Secret Realm for a secluded area. He needed a spot where his explosive counterattack and the use of the Sun and Moon Taiji Mysterious Light Mirror wouldn't draw the attention of even more Nascent Soul Cultivators.
