God Emperor Chapter 1997 - : Peacock Manor

Chapter 1997: Peac.o.c.k Manor

The Peac.o.c.k Manor was the Peac.o.c.k Demi-human Clan’s greatest faction in the past. It was extremely magnificent and powerful. However, five hundred years ago, when the Peac.o.c.k Manor refused Empress Chi Yao’s rule, the First Central Empire suppressed and annihilated it.

With the Kunlun Realm’s gradual recovery, the Peac.o.c.k Manor’s former site had become an awakened holy land.

Kong Lanyou had been part of the battle of the G.o.ds on Mount Yueshen, and her immortal Saint Body had been shattered, causing her cultivation realm to fall. So, she had returned to the Kunlun Realm and reoccupied the Peac.o.c.k Manor while she slowly restored the manor to its former glory.

Inside the Peac.o.c.k Manor was a ma.s.sive, lush bamboo forest that grew flouris.h.i.+ngly.

A gentle breeze blew, and rustled the bamboo leaves, creating a unique rhythm.

Deep inside the bamboo forest was a bamboo pavilion beside a flowing stream.

A woman with snow-white hair was sitting in the bamboo pavilion at the moment. Her face was extremely small and delicate, while her eyebrows were thin and long. Her nose was jade-like and her beauty unparalleled.

The white-haired woman held a yellowed bamboo flute in her hand as she quietly looked up at the sky and the bright moon.

The scenery was akin to a beautiful picture scroll, and the white-haired woman in the picture was like a G.o.ddess that was detached from mortal desires. She was so calm and elegant, leaving one to only admire her from afar and dare not have any blasphemous thoughts.

The white-haired woman was no one else but Zhang Ruochen’s cousin sister, Kong Lanyou.

Perhaps it was because she had once reached the Supreme Sainthood in the past, Kong Lanyou had a very detached temperament that made others afraid to approach easily.

Suddenly, a strange glint appeared in Kong Lanyou’s eyes, as her figure moved, flying out from the pavilion as her deep, bright eyes looked into the distance.

Even though it was still far away, Kong Lanyou could clearly see a ma.s.sive wars.h.i.+p flying toward the Peac.o.c.k Manor at extreme speed.

At the same time, Kong Lanyou noticed abnormal movements around Peac.o.c.k Manor. Although it was very stealthy, it could not escape her senses.

“Uninvited guests? The Peac.o.c.k Manor isn’t a place anyone can just intrude upon.” A cold glint flashed in Kong Lanyou’s eyes.

In just one move, Kong Lanyou transformed into a seven-colored stream of light as she instantly appeared on a boulder outside the Peac.o.c.k Manor.

At this moment, a person was standing on the huge boulder. He was wearing jasper armor and looking very heroic.

Upon seeing Kong Lanyou’s arrival, he could not help but be very surprised.

However, his reaction was extremely quick, and he immediately roused the Saint Qi and Saint Path Precepts in his body. Turning his hand into a claw, he struck at Kong Lanyou like a thunderbolt.

Kong Lanyou had a look of indifference in her eyes as she stretched out a long, slender finger as she pointed forward, creating a blob of seven-colored flame.

The flame was like a peac.o.c.k feather, its color vibrant like a beautiful work of art, yet it contained an extremely devastating destructive power that seemingly could reduce everything in the world to ashes.

It was the Peac.o.c.k Brightflame that a Peac.o.c.k Demi-human had mastered, and it possessed the terrifying ability to incinerate sky as well as the oceans.

The Peac.o.c.k Brightflame that Kong Lanyou had unleashed was the utmost horrific as it could immolate and melt the s.p.a.ce around it.

Baaam!!Baaam!!

Like a sharp sword, the Peac.o.c.k Brightflame pierced through the incoming claw attack.

A huge portion of the Peac.o.c.k Brightflame ripped through the hole on the claw and penetrated the body of the elite before her.

Instantly, the person’s body lit up in flames as he was enveloped whole by the Peac.o.c.k Brightflame.

The person could not help but pull back as he used various techniques to try to put out the Peac.o.c.k Brightflame on his body.

However, no matter what he did, it was useless because the Peac.o.c.k Brightflame continued to burn vigorously, incinerating his Saint Qi, blood, and essence.

“Arrrghhhh!!!”

A chilling scream came out of the elite’s mouth.

In the blink of an eye, the elite’s body was scorched red like a superheated metal, and it was beginning to show signs of melting.

“Kong Lanyou, you still dare to be so arrogant even when death is upon you.”

The top elite of the Scarlet Angels, Chen Hu rushed over as he formed a ma.s.sive b.l.o.o.d.y handprint that came cras.h.i.+ng down from the sky against Kong Lanyu.

Kong Lanyou looked up, and a cold light flickered in her eyes as the Saint Qi in her body was activated. Seven-colored Saint Light appeared on the surface of her body, making her look like an unparalleled Divine Peac.o.c.k Maiden.

She only responded with a finger point as a series of seven-colored lights gathered at the tip of her finger.

With Kong Lanyou as the center, the Saint Qi and Precepts of Heaven and Earth within a radius of thousands of miles were all roused.

One could see that the seven-colored light at the tip of Kong Lanyou’s finger was becoming extremely corporeal and razor-sharp as if it was a peerless light sword.

Whooos.h.!.+

There was nothing the seven-colored sword light could not cut, and it easily slashed through the ma.s.sive blood handprint.

Immediately, the seven-colored sword light blasted into the sky toward Chen Hu.

“Hmm?”

Chen Hu was slightly startled, and he hurriedly flapped one of his scarlet wings to resist the strike.

A blood beam appeared on the scarlet wing, and the wing became a sharp heavenly blade that could split everything apart.

Bam!!! Baaam!!!

The seven-colored light exploded and dissipated into nothingness.

A few scarlet feathers fell from Chen Hu’s scarlet wings, and he was almost wounded.

“So strong.” Chen Hu was secretly surprised.

He knew that Kong Lanyou had once been a Neverwither Supreme Saint but her immortal Saint Body had shattered and her cultivation realm and fallen. Yet, Chen Hu never actually took her seriously and felt that he could easily take her down.

After all, with his strength, he was not much different than a true Neverwither Supreme Saint as he was already in the top three realms of a Path Anterior elite.

Of course, he was only on the third level and was still very far away from the two levels before him.

Based on what Chen Hu knew, when Kong Lanyou had been a Neverwither Supreme Saint, she had not been very strong. After all, during that time, the Kunlun Realm’s cultivation environment had been poor. Kong Lanyou had not cultivated too many Saint Path Precepts when she had been in the Path’s Anterior realm either. Hence, the immortal Saint body she had cast was very generic and naturally not that strong.

So it stood to reason that after Kong Lanyou’s cultivation level fell, she would not be that strong.

However, it now seemed like that was not the case. Kong Lanyou’s current strength could be said to be much stronger than when she had first broken into the realm of a Neverwither Supreme Saint.

As such, Chen Hu completely put away his contempt and decided to go all out.

All of the Heavenly Realm elites had wanted to secretly surround the Peac.o.c.k Manor before they circled Kong Lanyou and attacked her.

However, since Kong Lanyou had already noticed their presence, there was no need for such trouble.

In a very short period of time, many elites gathered one after another.

For them to be able to attack outside the Peac.o.c.k Manor, the Heavenly Realm elites were more than willing to oblige.

In the blink of an eye, Kong Lanyou was completely surrounded by more than ten top-level elites around her.

On the wars.h.i.+p, Shang Ziyan looked at the surrounded Kong Lanyou with a gloomy face. He was in a particularly bad mood now. He was wounded, and someone had s.n.a.t.c.hed both the top-level Meritorious Armor of Flowing Light and Chi Kunlun from him. For him, this was not just a loss, it was a total humiliation.

“Capture Kong Lanyou and destroy the Peac.o.c.k Manor,” Shang Ziyan ordered grimly.

While his strength was not the best in this group, but his status was the highest, so everyone obeyed his orders.

Whoos.h.!.+

Hundreds of figures darted out of the wars.h.i.+p as they rushed straight for the Peac.o.c.k Manor.

None of these people were weaklings, and everyone of them was a Saint King-realm elite, and many of them were Nine-step Saint Kings.

Shang Ziyan had brought most of the powerhouses he had summoned to the Peac.o.c.k Manor, and those who had stayed behind in Shengming City to deal with Zhang Ruochen were only small in number.

There were many great worlds of the Heavenly Realm faction, and even if each great world were to only send out a Saint King, the total sum was still very terrifying.

Sensing the movements there, Kong Lanyou’s expression unwittingly changed a little as she immediately wanted to return to the Peac.o.c.k Manor.

“Don’t even think of leaving.”

Chen Hu roared as he struck with all of his might, blasting out a palm print as he tried to stop Kong Lanyou.

Kong Lanyou did not dodge but met the attack head-on instead.

The seven-colored Saint Light around Kong Lanyou expanded sharply, forming a seven-colored peac.o.c.k at least a hundred feet in size. It was lifelike, and it looked as if it was about to soar into the sky.

“Heaven’s Ascension Palm”

Kong Lanyou whispered as she suddenly shot the seven-colored peac.o.c.k out.

Boom!! Boom!!

The palm print Chen Hu had blasted out was shattered in an instant.

Immediately after, the peac.o.c.k crashed directly against Chen Hu, knocking him away.

Kong Lanyou did not press on in her attack and instead transformed into a sacred peac.o.c.k. She then ripped through the sky and entered the Peac.o.c.k Manor faster than those hundreds of Heavenly Realm elites.

Suddenly, many arcane array patterns appeared on the ground of the Peac.o.c.k Manor, unleas.h.i.+ng dazzling lights as they formed a powerful formation array that covered the entire Peac.o.c.k Manor.

Originally, the Peac.o.c.k Manor had many Supreme Saint inscriptions engraved in it, and while they suffered destruction, but some of them survived.

After Kong Lanyou took control of the Peac.o.c.k Manor, she had redeployed the array, and repaired the damaged Supreme Saint Inscriptions, making the Peac.o.c.k Manor a solid bulwark to guard against the coming of this day.

For a time, all of the Heavenly Realm elites were blocked outside, unable to step into the Peac.o.c.k Manor.

Chen Hu wiped away the blood from the corner of his mouth with his hand as he said in shock, “What a terrifying high-level Saint Art.”

What Kong Lanyou had unleashed earlier was a true High-level Saint Art with devastating power. If it was other Nine-step Saint Kings, he would have been ripped apart into pieces.

Even though Chen Hu was strong enough and clad in the Meritorious Armor of Flowing Light, he could not completely ward off the Heaven’s Ascension Palm strike. As such, he suffered rather significant injuries.

For any Saint King-level elites, should they successfully cultivated a High-level Saint Art, they would undoubtedly have a great advantage, it was akin to having a King’s Weapon at hand.

The Heaven’s Ascension Palm was one of the two top-level techniques of the Heaven’s Ascension Scripture, and the High-level Saint Art within it was extremely difficult to cultivate. If Kong Lanyou had not attained Supreme Sainthood before, it would have been impossible for her to truly cultivate this technique to full completion.

As she successfully activated the Supreme Saint Inscriptions and the arcane array, Kong Lanyou stood in midair as she stared at the Heavenly Realm powerhouses outside the manor.

“Shang Ziyan, you dare to lead the attack on my Peac.o.c.k Manor, aren’t you afraid of being punished by the rules of heaven?” Kong Lanyou asked coldly.

Shang Ziyan respondedm “The rules of heaven has always been used to restrain the weak. If you are still thinking of an Emissary Vigilant to intervene, then you are just too naive. I suggest that you surrender now, perhaps you will have a chance to see Zhang Ruochen one last time.”

Hearing this, a terrifying murderous intent instantly appeared in Kong Lanyou’s eyes. As her white hair fluttered in the air, she said icily, “If my cousin has as much as a single wound, I will destroy all of you.”
