SACRED BODY OF THE IMMORTALS

Geng Jin Shi Ling, though a native prodigy of the Emperor's Path, possessed strength surpassing many immortal talents from the Desolate Celestial Realm.

Being a divine metal spirit, his body was virtually invincible.

Even a minor powerhouse who had cultivated a strand of immortal energy couldn't kill him in just a few moves.

This was why Geng Jin Shi Ling dared to make a move after witnessing Jun Xiaoyao's strength.

Because he believed Jun Xiaoyao couldn't kill him instantly.

As long as there was the slightest chance, he could escape.

However, Geng Jin Shi Ling miscalculated.

How could he possibly fathom Jun Xiaoyao's true power?

"The ground-dwelling sparrow knows nothing of the great swan's height. Using your shallow vision to measure this divine son's abilities is truly laughable."

With a casual gesture, Jun Xiaoyao refined Geng Jin Shi Ling into the Primordial Cauldron.

Jun Xiaoyao vaguely felt that the quality of the Primordial Cauldron seemed to have improved slightly.

Though the improvement wasn't substantial, with time and gradual accumulation, it would eventually transform.

At this moment, the surrounding prodigies were completely terrified.

They knew Jun Xiaoyao was strong, but hadn't imagined he would be this powerful.

Some prodigies detected a strange smell, and following its source, their mouths twitched involuntarily.

The renowned holy maiden of Xuanyuan Ancient Star Region's Biluo Gate, Su Biyu, had actually wet herself in fear.

How could a dignified holy maiden be so frightened she urinated in her pants? Wouldn't she be ridiculed if this got out?

Su Biyu's lips trembled. The ally she had worked so hard to recruit had just died at Jun Xiaoyao's hands.

Without even the slightest resistance.

In contrast, Mu Yuehan smiled, finding some satisfaction in seeing Su Biyu's embarrassed and shameful state.

Now Mu Yuehan was even more grateful to have encountered Jun Xiaoyao.

If it had been anyone else, they might have been suppressed by Geng Jin Shi Ling.

As for Kong Xuan, the Golden-Winged Peng Prince, the Overturning River Marquis, the Stirring Sea Marquis, and others, their eyes were filled with extreme wariness.

"Could even the Buddha Son instantly kill Geng Jin Shi Ling?" Kong Xuan couldn't help but wonder at this moment.

After casually refining Geng Jin Shi Ling, Jun Xiaoyao didn't waste time and continued deeper.

He could already sense the vigorous life force boiling at the deepest part of the Kun Peng's nest.

Everyone continued inward.

Before long, they arrived at the end of the Kun Peng's nest.

Ahead appeared a vast lake.

Just as everyone was startled, the entire lake suddenly began to churn.

Before their shocked gazes, a black fish with golden markings leaped into the air.

As it reached mid-air, it transformed into a giant Peng bird, soaring toward the heavens, its wings like clouds hanging from the sky!

"It's the Kun Peng!"

"No way, is the Kun Peng still alive!"

Feeling this primordial, majestic aura, many prodigies nearly collapsed under the pressure.

"No, it's not a living being, but rather formed from the interweaving of dao patterns and residual energy," the Golden-Winged Peng Prince's eyes flashed with light.

The Golden-Winged Peng and the Kun Peng were, in some sense, related, so the Golden-Winged Peng Prince could sense something.

At this moment, the Kun Peng descended to the center of the lake.

Looking carefully, everyone saw a small blood pool in the lake's center, containing bright red and brilliant blood that emitted golden light, like melted blood agate.

"This is definitely Kun Peng's true blood!"

The Golden-Winged Peng Prince's eyelid twitched, unable to suppress the excitement in his eyes.

All the prodigies' breathing quickened.

Even more breathtaking was that in the center of the blood pool was a golden bone inscription, seemingly imprinted with the starry cosmos, various complex dao principles and patterns engraved upon it.

One glance made people feel dizzy.

"Could this be the Kun Peng bone inscription recording the Kun Peng's great divine techniques!"

All the prodigies' eyes burned with intensity.

Wasn't the Kun Peng's true blood and great divine techniques the greatest opportunity in the Kun Peng's nest?

This was the purpose of their gathering here.

However, just as they were about to step forward, they seemed to remember something and looked toward the peerless white-robed figure ahead.

Jun Xiaoyao stood still, examining the blood pool and the Kun Peng bone inscription, his eyes showing surprise.

But he didn't move.

If Jun Xiaoyao didn't move, how would the other prodigies dare to?

Time ticked by, but Jun Xiaoyao still showed no reaction.

Some prodigies couldn't contain themselves anymore.

Seeing a mountain of gold before them but being unable to take it—who could bear that?

"Who cares, I'm going for it. How can we walk the Emperor's Path if we're so timid?"

One by one, the prodigies shot forward like arrows.

Though they claimed to be risking everything, they were still anxious inside.

What relieved them was that Jun Xiaoyao didn't stop them.

Seeing this, Kong Xuan, the Overturning River Marquis, the Stirring Sea Marquis, the Golden-Winged Peng Prince, and others couldn't hold back and flashed forward.

However, just as these prodigies were about to approach the Kun Peng's true blood pool.

From the great lake, numerous crimson fish suddenly leaped up, their mouths filled with saw-like sharp teeth, lunging to bite these prodigies.

These crimson fish were at least at the quasi-sage realm in cultivation.

Looking around, there were at least several hundred crimson fish, meaning several hundred quasi-sage level fierce beasts.

This was incredibly terrifying.

"Ah!"

Screams echoed as some prodigies were torn to pieces by several crimson fish.

"These are... Crimson Dragon Fish, but they shouldn't be this strong!" The Golden-Winged Peng Prince and others were shocked.

Crimson Dragon Fish possessed extremely diluted dragon bloodlines, but even so, their potential was very limited and they shouldn't be able to reach the quasi-sage realm.

"Indeed, it must be due to the Kun Peng's true blood," Jun Xiaoyao said calmly, as if he had anticipated this.

The aura emanating from the Kun Peng's true blood had merged with the lake and been absorbed by these Crimson Dragon Fish, causing their strength to surge.

"No wonder the Divine Son anticipated this," Mu Yuehan's admiration for Jun Xiaoyao grew even more extreme.

Being with him gave such a sense of security.

Currently, the several hundred quasi-sage Crimson Dragon Fish were slaughtering everywhere.

Of course, not all the Emperor's Path prodigies were defenseless.

The scene became chaotic.

"It's time," Jun Xiaoyao stepped forward.

He summoned the Primordial Cauldron to clear the path ahead.

Within the cauldron, the mighty primordial energy churned.

Anything blocking Jun Xiaoyao's way, whether Crimson Dragon Fish or Emperor's Path prodigies.

Upon contact with the Primordial Cauldron, they were instantly reduced to bloody pulp.

Jun Xiaoyao pushed forward relentlessly, arriving directly at the edge of the Kun Peng's true blood pool.

Seeing this, Kong Xuan, the Overturning River Marquis, the Stirring Sea Marquis, and others secretly gritted their teeth.

Jun Xiaoyao reached out, directly grabbing for the Kun Peng bone inscription.

At this moment, a small Kun Peng shadow suddenly appeared from the bone inscription.

Its massive black tail whipped toward Jun Xiaoyao.

"It still has some defensive awareness?"

Jun Xiaoyao unleashed the power of ten thousand divine elephant particles.

Though the ancient Kun Peng was synonymous with power.

The ancient divine elephant was no pushover either.

The collision created tremendous waves, with surrounding space continuously trembling.

This attack would have reduced any other prodigy to a bloody mist with one tail swipe from the Kun Peng shadow.

But Jun Xiaoyao easily withstood it.

Jun Xiaoyao fought the Kun Peng shadow while pressing down with the Primordial Cauldron, attempting to capture the Kun Peng bone inscription within it.

But as the primordial energy descended, the terrifying pressure was too much for even the Kun Peng bone inscription to bear.

Then, it shattered into fragments, scattering in all directions.

"Great opportunity!"

Seeing this, Kong Xuan, the Overturning River Marquis, the Stirring Sea Marquis, and even Su Biyu couldn't help but make their move.

Who wouldn't take an opportunity right before their eyes?

Kong Xuan and the others each obtained a scattered bone fragment.

Though they were incomplete Kun Peng bone inscriptions, they still recorded portions of the Kun Peng's great divine techniques.

After obtaining the Kun Peng bone inscription fragments, they almost without hesitation rushed toward the exit of the Kun Peng's nest.

Watching this, Jun Xiaoyao's eyes held a trace of amusement.
