Chapter 298: Reunion with Tuoba Yun

"Do you know your biggest mistake? It's that you didn't retreat even after realizing my true power level. As the saying goes, 'only the wise know when to back down.' Clearly, you are not one of those people, so there can only be one outcome for you."

Boom! A terrifying aura erupted instantly, and the entire sky seemed to be engulfed by Xu Yang's wrath at that moment.

Meanwhile, Empress and the others arrived one after another. When they saw the immense silhouette of the Kunpeng, they instinctively gasped. "My heavens, this is the legendary Primordial Spirit Beast Supreme!"

"I wonder what it would be like if we could absorb this into our bodies and make it our sacrificed spirit beast?" Long Kun couldn't help but exclaim.

"Go on, let me see what you're truly capable of." This time, Xu Yang didn't hesitate. He formed a hand seal, and a terrifying black-and-white aura erupted from his body, swiftly enveloping the Kunpeng.

"What kind of power is this? You also possess Asura power within you! What's going on?" The Kunpeng was utterly astonished. It had never dreamed that besides Tuoba Yun, there would be another person in this region with terrifying Asura power.

"Oh? You seem familiar with this power?" This time, the Kunpeng didn't hide anything. It gazed coldly at Xu Yang.

"That's because a moment ago, an overconfident intruder, an inheritor of Asura power, was suppressed by the most terrifying Judgment Array of the Endless Pagoda in this space."

Xu Yang and the others naturally understood that the "overconfident fellow" the Kunpeng mentioned was Tuoba Yun.

Suddenly, Xu Yang had an idea. A smile played on his lips as he said to the Kunpeng, "I have an excellent proposal. I wonder if you'd be interested in trying it."

"What proposal?" A hint of wariness entered the Kunpeng's eyes.

"Since both I and that previous individual with Asura power are your opponents, why don't you release him and let us have a fair duel? Regardless of the outcome, this duel would be beneficial for both you and the leader of the Endless Pagoda."

The Kunpeng suddenly adopted a somewhat dumbfounded expression, then nodded coldly. "What you said... does seem to make a bit of sense."

The Kunpeng suddenly moved. A terrifying aura erupted instantly, and boundless gigantic storms materialized in the surrounding space, trapping Xu Yang's entire team within moments.

"My heavens, the power of this storm is immense! Is this the power of the Kunpeng, the strongest Primordial Spirit Beast?" Clearly, everyone had underestimated the true power of this million-year-old matured Kunpeng.

Even more terrifying, this hurricane seemed to possess a potent ability to devour life force. This meant the Kunpeng had, to some extent, gained the power to control the Dao – a truly horrifying prospect.

Xu Yang's expression gradually grew colder. With his current strength, slaying the Kunpeng would be effortless, but before that, he wanted to gather more useful information from the colossal beast.

"Break!" Xu Yang roared, and a terrifying black-and-white energy wave erupted from his hands. The sharpness of this energy blade was unimaginable; it instantly shredded the hurricane vortex before him.

"Such terrifying power! This is my first time seeing a human expert possess such dreadful strength. Of course, the Pagoda Lord doesn't count."

"Hahahaha, big bird, now you know fear, don't you? If you don't want to be our enemy, then get out of our sight right now!" Long Kun once again jumped forward, routinely trying to make his presence known. However, the Kunpeng didn't give him a kind look; instead, it chose to single him out at that moment. A violent swirling storm instantly surged towards Long Kun, almost instantly sweeping his body into the void.

"Quickly activate the Black Tortoise True Art! Do not try to forcefully resist this power; it contains the power of the Dao, and you are not its match!" The Sky Sword Soul immediately offered guidance. When Xu Yang wasn't fully fulfilling his responsibilities as the team leader, the Sky Sword Soul took his place.

Indeed, the Sky Sword Soul's judgment was flawless. The moment Long Kun activated the Black Tortoise True Art, all the protective aura around his body shattered. If the command had arrived even a moment later, Long Kun would likely have been instantly pulverized within that vortex.

From beginning to end, Xu Yang maintained a silent demeanor. He also wanted to see the full extent of the Kunpeng's ultimate power.

"Kunpeng Domain!" In an instant, the Kunpeng finally unleashed its strongest trump card. All the hurricanes behind it merged into one, forming a colossal rectangular gale that almost blotted out the sky. Within this domain, the Kunpeng virtually became the master.

The terrifying aura of the Dao began to madly devour the life force of those around them. Every time Xu Yang witnessed life force gradually being consumed by the power of the Dao, it brought back everything the Asura had told him earlier.

This filled Xu Yang with disappointment for the world. And for the first time, he harbored the thought of using his own power to change the entire world.

Though Xu Yang knew well that this path was arduous and long, and that even if he devoted his entire life to it, he might not succeed, having a goal was always better than being lost in endless confusion.

"Slay!" With just that single roar, Xu Yang instantly entered full combat mode. His terrifying power was something that even the million-year-old matured Kunpeng before him could not possibly withstand.

"What?! This aura is terrifying! It can actually compare to the Pagoda Lord! Who exactly is this guy, and what is his connection to the Asura?" The Kunpeng suddenly changed its mind. On one hand, it clearly understood that once Xu Yang became serious, it had no chance of winning. On the other hand, the Kunpeng also wanted to glean more valuable clues from Xu Yang.

Having made up its mind, the Kunpeng decisively gave up on trying to contend with Xu Yang any longer. It didn't want its million-year lifespan to be meaninglessly squandered in Xu Yang's hands.

Almost instantly, the Endless Pagoda Array, which had sealed Tuoba Yun, descended once more! Amidst the dazzling light, Tuoba Yun's sleeping silhouette stirred back to consciousness. And with the descent of the array, the Kunpeng also vanished.

"Hahahaha! That big clumsy bird actually knows fear! Boss, your aura right now is truly terrifying. If we were enemies, I bet your aura alone could easily conquer me!"
