Whoosh—In an instant, the water temperature rose to a boiling state as several waves came crashing through, forming yet another tsunami. Any adjective used to describe tsunamis wouldn’t even be enough to show how large the waves were.An exceedingly intense pressure covered the entire ocean. It was endless, paired with pure demonic Chi. When forced onto a human, it was like a sharp blade, stabbing and slicing their minds into shreds.“Ahhh!!!” Esmeralda let out a painful shriek, holding her head with her hands. She felt like her brain was about to explode.Alex initially wanted to bring her over while hiding the both of them with his spell so that the big guy wouldn’t notice them. However, seeing Esmeralda like this, he knew that he must help her somehow. If she didn’t have enough mental power for this, her mind might break down, causing her to become mentally crippled. “Namo Namo…”“Reveal thee…”He started chanting a holy melody, with patterns of lotus flowers coming out of
Caw—The peacock let out a high-pitched shriek. The soundwaves could break Esmeralda’s sword formation in the blink of an eye.It even swung its wings and smashed all the flying swords to the ground.“You garbage, go to hell!”The peacock spoke with utter disdain, swinging its other wing towards Alex and Esmeralda. That wing was nearly as big as a galaxy, looming over the two as it covered the whole space, locking it while causing more earthquakes.Just then, the three thousand lotus flowers in Alex’s body seemed oddly excited. All of them were waving and shaking vigorously.Even the ones that hadn’t bloomed were trembling as if they saw a sworn enemy. This filled Alex with sheer fighting spirit. “Forbidden Spell, The Great Fart Spell!”Pfft-Alex ran as soon as he let out that fart, dragging Esmeralda along. “Quickly!”Esmeralda felt her mind go blank. Never would she have dreamed of Alex doing such a thing. She thought he would swing his giant sword at the peacock, yet he
Thump, thump, thump—Gigantic carrots descended from the sky one by one.Although this was part of the depths of the sea, the carrots landed at quite the speed, as if they were meteorites. The water pressure had no effect on them at all.Besides that, these carrots were horrendously big, as if they were buildings with roots on the bottom and leaves on top. A total of thirty-six carrots descended, completely surrounding the peacock.Alex actually wanted to crack up whenever Agatha summoned these carrots. He would always think, ‘Oh, she is so young at heart. Even her attacks are so cute.’Yet this time, he felt some kind of malicious intent, which was powerful, stern, and terrifying.Those carrots were very menacing, and it was more suitable to call them nuclear bombs in the shape of carrots. They then connected, becoming a formation.Between the carrots were tiny rays of pink light intertwined with each other. It was hard to identify what substance it was, but they all found ou
“This… isn’t law power within the Diffracted universe.”“Black flames come from the Chi universe.”Agatha’s expression became gloomy.She didn’t know what to do in this situation, especially with the Peacock Heavenly King’s true soul still being inside. Hence, she couldn’t use the Void Crystal of Annihilation, or else the entire entity would be obliterated, which meant they did all this for naught.Whoosh-A large ball of black flames flew towards them. Dorothy used her own flames to guide it away and was able to dodge it.On the other hand, Esmeralda bumped right into it, mainly because she was a water cultivator. Many defense treasures she had on her couldn’t even last for ten seconds under those flames, shattering one after another.Despite this, the flames continued to burn as if they wanted to burn everything down to the ground.Agatha then used a secret spell to lock the peacock, hopping to Esmeralda’s rescue. Unexpectedly, she ended up catching fire after saving her di
“Has this guy lost his mind?!”Agatha didn’t pay enough attention, only to watch as Alex rushed in like that. Everyone else was utterly speechless too.According to what they’d seen, not even Agatha could easily defeat that peacock. ‘Does he think he has nothing to fear when he could suck in its flames?’“Come back here!” Dorothy shouted.“We can’t let him get over there. That’s the ancient Peacock Heavenly King, a being who had been living since ancient times. What is this kid doing? That’s not the best way to go out!”Agatha wasn’t slow with her actions, even when she was still talking.She immediately activated her carrots once again, releasing even stronger electric bolts while locking down the peacock. She also threw her fan, which was following right behind Alex.Esmeralda, however, turned herself into a snake, trying to catch up to Alex.“So you can consume my flames, human brat. Interesting, but do you really think you can take in all my flames, just from the little b
The demonic god within the peacock was utterly shocked. He knew how powerful his flames were, as they could burn everything down, even law powers. Yet this human kid was able to swallow it just like that. ‘Is he not worried that his stomach might get burnt to crisp?’In reality, the energy that Alex had absorbed didn’t go into his stomach. It went into that golden lotus flower instead.The energy of these flames didn’t have to go through Alex’s body and entered the three thousand lotus flower bases, turning itself into nutrition for the flowers.At the time, Alex’s lotus flowers were chanting and wavering happily. They seemed very satisfied with the energy he consumed.Just then, the semi-transparent flower started shivering vigorously again. There was more pollen falling from its petals. Without needing Alex’s consciousness to check on it, the pollen went straight to Alex’s mind so that he could absorb it. On the other hand, another flower bloomed on the same stem. ‘A twin l
“Wait, what?”“You’re not Ynes? Then who are you?”Alex wasn’t the only one confused. Agatha and the others felt like they were going to faint, as it took them a lot to be able to kill off that demonic god and save Ynes at the same time.‘And now you’re telling us you’re not Ynes?’“I am the Peacock Heavenly King!” The unfamiliar voice then emphasized, “The true Peacock Heavenly King!”After a short pause, she continued. “Thank you for all your help, else I would’ve actually become someone else.”Alex immediately questioned. “Then what about Ynes? Is Ynes not the Peacock Heavenly King?”The voice replied. “Ynes… is probably one of my divided souls. She was able to escape this place, but she came back horribly injured. I didn’t have a choice but to dissipate her so that she could merge back into my soul again.”It turned out she really didn’t have any other way to deal with that. She was indeed part of her soul, after all.‘But wouldn’t dissipating her mean that none of her mem
Half an hour later…Ynes’ soul still couldn’t seem to stabilize. Yet the ball of green light became brighter and brighter. Ynes smiled softly. “Stop wasting your energy. Once I return to my original body, I am still part of the Peacock Heavenly King.”Alex stopped and let out a deep sigh.Just then, the peacock gestured towards the light, returning it back into herself. She was stunned for a brief while. “The soul is still somewhat unstable, but you managed to retain her memories. You did very well already.”As she merged Ynes into her soul, she went through her memories.“Hmm?”Suddenly, the peacock frowned as she found out that there were scenes of sleeping with Alex within Ynes’ memories… She obviously didn’t sleep with him as herself, but she was in Phoebe’s body instead. However, the memories were simply unacceptable when Ynes had taken over Phoebe’s body.As an ancient god, the Peacock Heavenly King couldn’t possibly leave such dirty memories in her body, as she would
