Seeing that Kun Peng actually possessed a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, both of them were slightly surprised. Originally, they had intended to bully Kun Peng for lacking a good spiritual treasure!
Now, not only was his cultivation profound, but he also had a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, making the fight difficult!
Kong Xuan immediately unleashed his Five-Colored Divine Light, intending to snatch away this top-grade innate spiritual treasure! Kun Peng had been watching all along. He promptly manifested his true form, his enormous Kun form suspended in mid-air. With a gaping maw, a colossal pillar of light surged towards the Five-Colored Divine Light!
Kong Xuan's expression turned grim. He hadn't expected Kun Peng to have prepared for his Five-Colored Divine Light so early!
However, it was too late to retract the Five-Colored Divine Light. The pillar of light pierced directly through his five-colored space, and repairing it would require time!
Kun Peng transformed back into his human form and laughed heartily, "Junior, face your death!"
As the old veteran powerhouse of the Quasi-Saint mid-stage, how could he, Kun Peng Ancestor, tolerate being bullied by juniors? This time, he could get his revenge!
Xuan Du hurriedly cast a spell, and the Earth-Leaving Flame Light Banner transformed into a light screen, enveloping him and Kong Xuan! Outside, the Purple Electric Hammer was still entangled with the Sun Sutra Wheel!
The spells cast by Kun Peng merely created ripples upon hitting the light screen!
Kun Peng frowned. This Five-Directional Banner was troublesome, and it was indeed a king among top-grade innate spiritual treasures. Yes, the Five-Directional Banner ranked within the top three among top-grade innate spiritual treasures!
He only possessed one top-grade spiritual treasure, and Kong Xuan had one too. They could only entangle the Purple Electric Hammer but could not break through the Five-Directional Banner!
"Kun Peng, as the Demon Master, you are now aiding villains. Be careful not to perish in this calamity!" Xuan Du declared.
Although your cultivation is formidable now, you must consider whether you are a match for our master. Do not wait until you are beaten to death to regret it!
Kun Peng pouted. Did he not know? But did he have a choice? Nuwa was forcing him, and if he refused, Nuwa would kill him first. Thus, Kun Peng had no choice but to come. Since he could not defeat these two fellows, he would just play along. He would wait and see how the Three Pure Ones played out, and if they were powerful, he would make a swift exit!
Seeing Kun Peng's obstinacy, Xuan Du sighed and took out the Taiji Diagram bestowed by his master!
As the Taiji Diagram unfolded, Kun Peng immediately fled upon seeing it. Indeed, he fled at lightning speed. Even though Xuan Du had unfolded the Taiji Diagram and sent out the Golden Bridge, Kun Peng's figure was already gone. He was that cunning!
Helplessly, Xuan Du had to put away the Taiji Diagram, and the two of them headed towards Duobao and Guang Chengzi, respectively!
At this moment, Guang Chengzi was battling Ayinava. However, Guang Chengzi's cultivation was only at the early stage of Grand Unity Golden Immortal, while Ayinava was at the late stage of Grand Unity Golden Immortal!
But Guang Chengzi possessed more spiritual treasures, such as the Heaven-Flipping Seal, the Soul-Falling Bell, and the Male-Female Swords, among others!
Although Ayinava was a Shura favored by Minghe, he only had mid-grade spiritual treasures, lacking any high-grade or top-grade ones!
However, when Ayinava came out this time, Minghe had given the Western Plain Colored Cloud Boundary Banner to Ayinava!
Even though Guang Chengzi had many spiritual treasures, he could not break through Ayinava's defenses. Furthermore, Ayinava's cultivation was higher than Guang Chengzi's. For a time, Guang Chengzi was spitting blood incessantly!
At this moment, Guang Chengzi regretted his decision. He should have brought the Northern Profound Water Controlling Banner given by his teacher, otherwise, he would not be so passive!
Just as Guang Chengzi was regretting it, a red light screen appeared, enveloping him. All the spells cast by Ayinava were blocked outside!
"Thank you, Senior Brother!" Guang Chengzi knew who had arrived and immediately expressed his gratitude!
"You're welcome, Junior Brother. Leave this person to me!" Xuan Du said. Guang Chengzi immediately withdrew from the battlefield and headed elsewhere!
Looking at Ayinava, Xuan Du directly unfolded the Taiji Diagram!
Ayinava turned ashen with fear. This was a supreme innate treasure! Just as Ayinava was about to flee, he was immobilized by the Golden Bridge emanating from the Taiji Diagram. Xuan Du then summoned the Earth-Leaving Flame Light Banner, and a colossal pillar of fire engulfed Ayinava!
A faint mist shimmered around Ayinava, blocking the pillar of fire. It was precisely the Western Plain Colored Cloud Boundary Banner!
Meanwhile, although the Taiji Diagram had immobilized Ayinava, his spiritual treasure automatically protected him. For a time, Xuan Du truly could not do anything to Ayinava! After all, the Taiji Diagram was not his artifact, but Li Er's, and he was only borrowing it, unable to unleash its full power!
In the battle between Duobao and Maitreya, Maitreya waved his hand, and a barrier appeared. A primordial spirit projection emerged, which was none other than Daoist Jieyin!
Duobao was greatly alarmed, not expecting a saint's primordial spirit clone to be present. Jieyin did not attack but instead said, "Duobao Daoist, are you faring well in the Jie Cult? Have you ever considered joining my Western Teachings?"
Duobao replied, "Greetings, Saint. However, I, Duobao, am the second senior brother of the Jie Cult. How could I go to your Western Teachings!"
One must know how powerful Saint Tongtian was. He would be insane to go to the West. If he betrayed the Jie Cult, he would surely die!
As if sensing Duobao's thoughts, Jieyin smiled and said, "Duobao, the senior brother of the Jie Cult is Kong Xuan, not you, Duobao. How much destiny will you receive for protection? Currently, you are only at the early stage of Grand Unity Golden Immortal. If you come to my Western Teachings, you will be the senior brother, and the destiny of the Western Teachings will be yours, making it not difficult for you to become a Quasi-Saint!"
Duobao pouted. He did not doubt the words of Saint Jieyin, but in the Great Desolation, ultimately, strength spoke louder than words! The two saints of the West were far inferior to the Three Pure Ones!
He, Duobao, was not foolish. Going to the Western Teachings at this time would be courting death!
Jieyin then said, "Duobao, how about we make a bet?"
Duobao asked curiously, "What bet?"
Jieyin smiled and said, "We bet that our two Western Saints will have the Heavenly Dao punish the Three Pure Ones, and from then on, there will be no more saints displaying their might in the Great Desolation. If I win, you will come to my Western Teachings and become the patriarch, how about that?"
Duobao fell silent. Where did the two Western Saints get their confidence? However, if the saints were to cease their overt influence, he, Duobao, could make plans for himself and would have nothing to fear. Thus, he nodded!
Jieyin then disappeared, and Maitreya was evenly matched with Duobao, neither able to defeat the other!
However, at this moment, Duobao's mind was no longer on this. Could the two Western Saints truly succeed? If so, joining the Western Teachings would not be an issue. In the Great Desolation, wasn't it all about improving one's own strength!
In reality, Duobao felt somewhat stifled in the Jie Cult. Although his master treated him well, more benefits went to Kong Xuan. He was only second, and he preferred to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix. Duobao felt quite aggrieved. If not for Kong Xuan, he, Duobao, would have been the Human Emperor's teacher, and with such destiny and merit, he would have been able to ascend to the Quasi-Saint realm, rather than being at the Grand Unity Golden Immortal stage now!
