Chapter 210: Please Subdue Me!

Kong Meng’s words instantly stunned Jin Yu.

Didn’t you say beforehand that it was within your capacity!?

How come Fairy Kong Meng is speaking for this Divine Firmament Saint instead? Who’s side is she taking!?

“Fairy, please help us. You cannot go back on your words!”

Jin Yu looked like he was extremely wronged. He could not win against them in a fight, so he could only try to reason with her. After all, without Kong Meng backing him, he could not even beat a mettlesome Qin Yundi.

This damned Primordial Battlefield! It’s too unfair that it only restricts cultivators above the Golden Core stage!

If it was not for their strength being restricted, Jin Yu would not be this fearful of them. He had the confidence to annihilate everyone by himself!

It was a pity that there was no if. In order to capture the Divine Firmament Saint, he could only rely on Kong Meng.

It was as if Kong Meng did not hear what Jin Yu had said as she looked straight at Shen Tian. She could sense that this man in front of her had an abundance of scorching essence energy.

She looked at Shen Tian as if she was looking at a volcano. The volcano could erupt at any time, and its magma might swallow her.

“He’s just a Foundation Establishment cultivator, while he has only reached the Transcendence realm of Godfiend Body Tempering, yet he has such an amazing aura!” Kong Meng murmured, “If you successfully reach the Golden Core stage, I might not be your opponent.”

“Divine Firmament Saint, can you tell me your name?”

While Kong Meng was sizing up Shen Tian, the latter was also carefully sizing up Kong Meng.

However, what he thought was not how strong Kong Meng was... but whether this person was a guy or a girl.

Wouldn’t only male peacocks spread their tails!? Why would there be an illusion of a peacock spreading its tail behind her?

Is it possible that this girl is similar to Kong Xuan[1]**, a transgender?

At that thought, Shen Tian’s expression turned weird. “Who are you?”

Kong Meng replied, “I apologize for my rudeness, I should introduce myself first.

“I am the Kong Meng from Southern Border’s Divine Peacock race. I’ve heard that there are many talented people in Eastern Wilderness, so I hope to be able to learn from them through exchanging blows.

“Saint, you are powerful. Since everyone’s cultivation levels are restricted to the Foundation Establishment stage in the Primordial Battlefield, I hope you can have a battle with me so I can experience Eastern Wilderness geniuses’ strength!”

Kong Meng’s voice turned much gentler than before, but she still wanted to challenge Shen Tian. Evidently, she was truly a woman that was eager to excel. She had experienced the loneliness of being invincible, and her desire for a powerful opponent had reached its peak.

Shen Tian felt a little uncomfortable as Kong Meng was staring at him with a burning passion.

This girl’s gaze is too aggressive! Are you sure you only just want to spar?

If I recall correctly, in the story of ‘Journey to the West’, peacocks really liked eating humans. Even Gautama Buddha had been swallowed before.

Ssss! She wouldn’t be thinking of eating me in the name of a friendly spar, right!?

At that thought, Shen Tian instantly became vigilant.

He smiled slightly. “Fairy Kong is Southern Border’s genius. You’ve come such a long way to Eastern Wilderness, so as the Divine Firmament Saint, I should do the honors of playing host.

“How could I spar with Fairy Kong? You must be exhausted from traveling. I’ll be taking advantage of you, so we should just forget about this spar!”

After listening to Shen Tian’s “upright and honorable” speech, the admiration within Kong Meng’s eyes increased.

“Divine Firmament Saint, you’re indeed amazing! However, I’ve wished to have a fight to my heart’s content for a long time. I simply cannot wait any longer!

“Divine Firmament Saint, please make a move! I am anticipating a true opponent. Please subdue me!”

Please subdue me!

After those three words were uttered, the hint of gentleness in Kong Meng’s eyes disappeared completely. What replaced it was an indomitable battle spirit as the Rainbow Divine Light started shining behind her.

The Rainbow Divine Light spread out behind her as if an enormous peacock king was spreading its tail. It was an extremely magnificent sight.

Normally, the biggest dangers were hidden within extreme beauty.

As the Rainbow Divine Light was completely unleashed, Shen Tian could feel his instincts warning him intensely.

It was evident that this Rainbow Divine Light was extremely extraordinary. If it really covered him, he would most likely be in great trouble.

Upon seeing the Rainbow Divine Light shooting at him, Shen Tian’s pupils instantly constricted, and he threw out tens of Yin-Yang Lightning Explosion Talisman.

The Yin-Yang Lightning Explosion Talismans pierced through the air as if they were swords and shot toward the Rainbow Divine Light.

Their speed was actually comparable to the Rainbow Divine Light!

Zhao Hao stared straight at Shen Tian. “Such ingenious swordsmanship! A man of great wisdom often seems slow-witted, the speed is close to the extreme!”

He murmured as he watched the sword-aura-engulfed Lightning Explosion Talismans, “Senior Brother Shen is amazing. He’s so fast!”

Eunuch Gui and Qin Gao stared at Shen Tian passionately. “His Highness has turned stronger. He is actually able to merge the Lightning Explosion Talismans with his swordsmanship!”

“Is it possible that this is the supreme realm recorded in the Demon Book of Hyuga, where everything can become a sword!?”

Shen Ao lowered his head to look at the sword in his hands and could not help but sigh. “I’m unworthy!”

...

The sword-aura-engulfed Lightning Explosion Talismans shot toward the Rainbow Divine Light and actually tore through the Rainbow Divine Light!

Boom!

Boom, boom, boom!

Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom!

Explosion sounds echoed continuously while the Rainbow Divine Light’s speed was forcibly reduced.

Meanwhile, in that instant, Shen Tian had already moved away from the radius enveloped by the Rainbow Divine Light.

Shen Tian let out a resigned sigh as he looked at Kong Meng. Her fighting spirit had been aroused, and she was eager to continue fighting, “Fairy Kong, why do you want to have such a pointless fight?”

Shen Tian really did not understand.

Isn’t everyone cultivating, so they can live longer and have a better life?

Why do those geniuses like to find others and battle so much!?

If one wins, they will hold a grudge. If one loses, then it might result in death. No matter winning or losing, there are no benefits at all! Why bother then!?

Kong Meng looked at Shen Tian, her battle spirit rising to the maximum. “This is not a meaningless battle. In the Demon race, the strong are worshiped. Only the strong are respected.

“Divine Firmament Saint, although you have an unparalleled appearance, if you want to win my respect, please defeat me with your strength head-on!

“I long for an evenly matched battle, and the best is if I am defeated. Please satisfy me!”

Swoosh!

Kong Meng’s multi-colored dress suddenly spread out like a peacock spreading its tail, and she released more and more Rainbow Divine Light, shooting toward Shen Tian.

“Why are you forcing me?”

Shen Tian let out another resigned sigh as Kong Meng kept attacking him.

If she were a normal demon, he would have long pulled out his Executing Heaven Sword and sliced her in one shot. He would then... make peacock soup to drink.

However, the problem was that a pure golden halo was hovering over her head, its color even more resplendent than Zhang Yunxi’s. There was even a glimmer of purple light!

Such an existence was definitely someone blessed by providence and one of this demon generation’s main characters.

In addition, she was the only pure-blooded Rainbow Divine Peacock in the past 1,000 years. In other words, she was the hope of bringing the Peacock race to prosperity. Thus, she was the most valued existence in the race.

If one were to say she had nothing up her sleeves to save her life and could be easily killed, Shen Tian definitely would not believe such a thing.

Also, Kong Meng did not have any ill intentions. It was just her chuunibyou’s soul that was burning passionately, and she had to have a battle with Shen Tian to decide the winner.

Shen Tian felt that there was no need to anyhow make enemies, especially a powerful enemy with obviously higher providence than himself.

Keeping a low profile and growing stronger was the goal Shen Tian pursued. It was definitely not because of his cowardliness!

The Azure Dragon Armor slowly formed on his body, while Azure Dragon I Divine Lightning (Wood) was continuously gathered in Shen Tian’s hands. This time, he did not shape it as a lightning ball, but instead, a long lightning sword was formed.

That lightning longsword was like a green snake. It kept smashing at the Rainbow Divine Light, tearing the Rainbow Divine Light apart.

When the Rainbow Divine Light was torn apart, Qin Yundi murmured to himself, “Such a powerful sword!”

No one was clearer than him on how tough and fearsome the Rainbow Divine Light was as he had faced it before.

Before the Rainbow Divine Light, even the 63 Yin-Yang Demon-Penetrating Guns’ simultaneous shots had been unable to even leave a scratch on it.

Nonetheless, Shen Tian repeatedly tore apart this impenetrable Rainbow Divine Light. This was naturally not because the Rainbow Divine Light had turned weaker. It was Shen Tian, who had formed a sword with Lightning Talismans and lightning, thus increasing the Lightning Explosion Talisman and I Divine Lightning (Wood) power to a frightening degree.

As Shen Tian had the Divine Sword Constitution, these seemingly normal attacks were being enhanced!

They were enhanced to a degree that most Foundation Establishment cultivators could not even dare to imagine!

...

“You are indeed able to satisfy me! However, such an attack is far from enough! Use more strength, use more strength!”

As small cuts formed on the Rainbow Divine Light after being sliced repeatedly, Kong Meng revealed a satisfied smile.

She had been invincible for too long. There was no one of the same generation in Southern Border that could even tear apart her Rainbow Divine Light. The loneliness and emptiness of being invincible—she knew those feelings better than anyone else.

It was enough meeting Shen Tian in this Primordial Battlefield!

Kong Meng sensed the cuts Shen Tian had torn in her Rainbow Divine Light and discovered its shortcomings and weak points. When battling, Kong Meng’s understanding and control over the Rainbow Divine Light was increasing at an obvious speed.

Being in seclusion for 100 years could not be compared to fighting a hearty battle—battling was always the shortcut to increasing one’s strength!

Not only was Kong Meng’s Rainbow Divine Light becoming stronger, but Shen Tian’s understanding of swordsmanship was also deepening.

“The formless is the best form. The swordless is the best sword. Everything could become a sword! There is no technique that is indefectible, only swiftness is undefeatable!”

...

Shen Tian actually started to understand and absorb the many chuunibyou theories of the way of the sword that he had read about in his previous life, converting them to his foundation for his Sword Dao.

As he continued battling, Shen Tian felt that although he did not learn any sword technique, his understanding of the Sword Dao was improving.

If the cultivators training diligently in the way of the sword witnessed such a scene, they might even start doubting themselves.

“I’m glad that I could meet you, Divine Firmament Saint.”

Kong Meng looked at Shen Tian with a bright smile on her face. “If you only possess such strength, then you will definitely lose today!

“Unsheath your sword! Since you have such superb swordsmanship, I don’t believe you don’t have your own peerless sword.

“Use your sword to subdue me, or let me subdue your sword. Come, satisfy me!

“If you can defeat me, you shall obtain the Peacock race’s respect and friendship!”

After saying that, Kong Meng suddenly flapped the wings behind her. She flew toward the sky, and the Rainbow Divine Light illusion behind her seemed to become real.

Immediately after, it gathered to form a humongous barrier of Rainbow Divine Light, and it was about to land onto Shen Tian.

Shen Tian watched as Kong Meng controlled the Rainbow Divine Light barrier and flew toward him. He sighed as he had no other choice anymore.

A long emerald vine covered in silver Heavy Water stretched out of his right hand.

In the next instant, the Divine Devouring Vine suddenly turned long and pierced through the sky.

The onlookers fixed their burning gazes on the Divine Devouring Vine and light barrier as they collided.

Ka!

Cracks appeared on the impenetrable light barrier!

The Rainbow Divine Light had cracked open!
