Chapter 678 - 290: Transformation Thunder Tribulation
Chu Ning was visiting the Outer Sea of the Endless Sea for the first time.
Compared to the Central Sea and Inner Sea Region, the seawater here was no longer blue but somewhat close to the black of the Boundless Sea.
Meanwhile, the Spiritual Qi was even more chaotic.
If the Central Sea barely allows cultivators to cultivate,
then in this Outer Sea, where the Spiritual Qi is so chaotic, not to mention cultivation, one might perceive significant effects on their magical power after staying here for a year and a half.
Fortunately, although chaotic, there was still Spiritual Qi.
The group followed Kong Yipeng’s lead, flying for quite some time, to reach a sea island hundreds of miles across.
"Wow, so many spirit plants with Qi of Geng Metal!"
Upon entering the island, Chu Ning’s eyes involuntarily flickered.
Even with a brief sweep using his Divine Sense, he discovered two or three types of spirit plants with Qi of Geng Metal.
Before Chu Ning could further sense, Kong Yipeng opened with a serious expression:
"Fellow Daoists, the Gold and Silver Bird dwells within this island and is currently hidden in slumber.
I will set up the array here shortly.
Then lure the Gold and Silver Bird into the array’s range; once it enters, everyone drives the Dharma Banner.
Remember to exert full force without reservation; otherwise, if this bird breaks through the array, it could be troublesome!"
After Kong Yipeng reminded everyone, he began arranging the array.
During this time, Chu Ning moved nearby to dig out the gold attribute spirit plants he sensed with Qi of Geng Metal, storing them in a jade box.
This action from Chu Ning was observed by others without concern.
Cultivators collecting suitable spirit medicine is quite normal.
Currently, everyone’s attention was more focused on Kong Yipeng.
He took a large grey-black array disc from his storage bag, etched with complex talismanic runes.
Being not far away, the group could sense the magnificent Thunderbolt Power emanating from the disc.
Clearly, this artifact was one specially refined.
Kong Yipeng placed this array disc at the center.
Then began inserting various array banners in different areas, a little smaller than the ones given to Chu Ning and the others.
After inserting forty-nine array banners around, Kong Yipeng sat in the center of the array disc, carefully sensing for a long time.
Once he confirmed the array he arranged had no issues, he stood up.
Having Chu Ning and the five conceal themselves utilizing the array, Kong Yipeng again reminded everyone before flying toward the island’s center.
After Kong Yipeng left, Chu Ning’s eyes reflected surprise.
That Gold and Silver Bird was a peak Tier Seven Demon Beast, how could it be unaware of so many entering its territory?
Kong Yipeng had mentioned it was in slumber.
But even under normal circumstances, slumber shouldn’t render it completely oblivious to external happenings.
"Could it be that this Gold and Silver Bird is injured? Or perhaps..."
Chu Ning suddenly thought of a possibility.
Such a situation he had seen with his own Ling Xiaobai and Golden Thunder Eagle.
That being—breakthrough!
Considering this, Chu Ning’s eyes grew more serious.
This demon beast had reached peaks of Tier Seven, and if it were to breakthrough, wouldn’t it reach Tier Eight akin to a Nascent Soul Cultivator?
"Does Kong Yipeng really know about this matter? And what about Chang Lingshan?"
Chu Ning’s eyes flickered.
Just as he was about to converse briefly with Chang Lingshan.
"Screech!"
At this moment, an intense call resonated from the island’s center.
In the next instant, Chu Ning felt two powerful auras rapidly approaching him.
The one ahead was Kong Yipeng, whom Chu Ning was slightly surprised to sense was displaying a stronger aura than earlier.
Trailing behind was a demon beast aura, more formidable than Kong Yipeng’s.
Yet Chu Ning felt slightly relieved, as this demon beast’s aura, although overwhelming, was still at the peak of Tier Seven, not reaching Tier Eight.
The person and beast flew swiftly towards Chu Ning and others.
In the briefest moment, they appeared in Chu Ning’s vision.
In front, Kong Yipeng showed a grave expression, closely followed by a massive bird demon beast of three zhang size.
The feathers on the bird were golden, emitting dazzling rays under the sunlight.
While the wings’ feathers were silvery white, swiftly flying like a silver bolt of lightning, hardly watchable directly.
At this moment, the person and beast were merely over ten zhang apart.
The Gold and Silver Bird’s eyes shot out furious light, its enormous wings violently flapping, carrying immense thunderous momentum, charging at Kong Yipeng.
Kong Yipeng’s face changed, swiftly accelerating forward, leading the Gold and Silver Bird into the array.
He shouted, "Exorcism Array!"
Upon hearing Kong Yipeng, Chu Ning and others immediately injected magical power into the array banners.
With the full activation of the array, a gigantic light barrier formed around.
Trapping the Gold and Silver Bird within.
At this time, Kong Yipeng held a smaller black-grey disc similar to the array’s central one.
Holding this disc, Kong Yipeng flew up, disappearing beyond the light barrier.
The Gold and Silver Bird followed closely, but was blocked by the light barrier, rebounding back.
