However, today, Xiao Wenbing doesn't even need to lift a finger; his mere presence is enough to subdue the entire demon race, leaving them utterly subservient. Sigh... the difference between demons and humans is truly immense.
※※※※
"Yaqi, Baiyi, how was that? Wasn't I impressive enough?" Xiao Wenbing said excitedly along the way.
For him, walking alongside the two successors who represent the Qiankun Circle and the Tianlei Palace has always been both an honor and a heavy burden.
People's attention is usually focused on them, while I, before creating the House of Peace of Mind, still need their protection to be noticed by the top cultivators.
However, only today has he been able to finally hold his head high and truly experience the invincible valor of a real man.
"Not bad, very impressive." Zhang Yaqi smiled.
"Hey, a fox borrowing the tiger's power." Feng Baiyi gave a fair assessment.
"What?" Xiao Wenbing snorted angrily. Forget it, the people of Tianlei Palace couldn't understand the thoughts of a nobody like him. He turned his head and asked Butterfly Fairy, "Butterfly Fairy, is Master powerful?"
"Awesome!" The clear voice exclaimed loudly.
"Hehe..." Looking at this pretty face that looked exactly like Feng Baiyi's, Xiao Wenbing felt much better.
Zhang Yaqi and Feng Baiyi shook their heads helplessly and flew towards the human settlement first.
Xiao Wenbing fell behind, and suddenly had an idea. He reached out and gently twisted Diexian's buttocks.
Butterfly Fairy didn't react, but Feng Baiyi, who was walking forward, suddenly trembled, turned around abruptly, and glared angrily at Xiao Wenbing.
Zhang Yaqi, who was traveling with her, immediately noticed her companion's unusual behavior and asked in surprise, "Sister Feng, what's wrong?"
"N-nothing..." Feng Baiyi said through gritted teeth, then turned and flew away first, her face already flushed red.
She and Die Xian had a magical telepathic connection, so when Xiao Wenbing touched Die Xian, it felt like a large hand was moving up and down her buttocks, and the impact it brought her was absolutely unprecedented.
If it were Feng Baiyi from six months ago, she would have already drawn her sword. But the woman before her has changed so much… so much…
However, although she clearly sensed Xiao Wenbing's actions towards the Butterfly Fairy, how could she explain it to Zhang Yaqi? Should she say, "Your boyfriend tried to assault a demon?"
Since I can't say anything, I have no choice but to flee far away.
Zhang Yaqi looked at Xiao Wenbing with a questioning gaze. The latter shrugged and made a strange gesture, completely shirking his responsibility.
Zhang Yaqi's face showed a hint of reluctance, and Xiao Wenbing immediately said, "Yaqi, you'd better chase after him. Bai Yi is in a bad mood right now. If he gets into a conflict with someone, wouldn't that be..."
"Hmm." Zhang Yaqi responded and chased after Feng Baiyi in the direction she had left, but her voice drifted back from afar: "Wenbing, how did you know Sister Feng was in a bad mood?"
Xiao Wenbing was immediately speechless, his eyes wide with disbelief.
※※※※
On the planet Zhenmo, undercurrents are surging.
Xiao Wenbing was unaware that after he used the power of divine majesty to suppress many demon kings, it would lead to a series of unexpected changes.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the planet, in a bottomless cave, a man whose body was engulfed in flames was quietly gazing in the direction from which the divine power was emanating.
"Quinnie, can you feel it?"
The ethereal sound drifted from the equally empty space, as if it had vanished with the wind, leaving no trace.
"Yes, this powerful force." The fiery man, Quini, sighed deeply. "Could it be that someone in the cultivation world actually possesses such an incredible power?"
What do you think?
"I don't know," Quinni said with a wry smile. "What do you think?"
"impossible."
“Yes, that shouldn’t be possible. Even we are helpless against this power…” Queenie stretched out her hand, looking at the ball of fire in her palm, and said, “But where does this power come from?”
With a long, somber sigh, Quini asked, "Shabir, after all these years, how many of our old comrades are still alive?"
"No matter how much is left, we must fulfill our responsibilities."
“Yes, this is our duty, and no one can replace him.” Quini’s voice gradually lowered, and after a long while, he seemed to have regained his spirits and said, “Shabir, I think we can send that thing to the cultivation world.”
"No, it's too dangerous. I don't agree."
“Shabir, I just meant, prepare…”
"Quinnie, you need to think this through. Even we can't control that thing."
“I know, old friend, but I know even more that the one who controls this power might be the only one capable of destroying it. And this could very well be our last chance…”
The light, airy voice faded away, and Queenie didn't urge them, but simply waited patiently.
"Quinnie, have you made up your mind?"
"Yes, I've made up my mind."
“You should know that once he is released, none of us here will be able to control him, and what awaits us here is a devastating catastrophe.”
"Catastrophe? Since we are called the Demon Realm, then let us demons unleash that boundless catastrophe."
“I will relay your words to my companions and cast a vote in your favor. But I must tell you, Queenie, you will go to hell for doing this.”
The voice grew fainter and fainter, and the breath gradually disappeared. Queenie knew that he was gone, just as silently as he had come, and just as silently as he had left.
"Hell? I...I'm already there."
The flames on Quini's body burned brighter and brighter, until finally they transformed into a raging inferno and disappeared.
Volume 4, The Divine Artifacts, Chapter 222: The Dragon and Phoenix Appear
------------------------
On the Demon-Suppressing Star, countless tall trees grow, their large leaves an exceptionally elegant green. They seem to have a special affinity for sunlight, absorbing a great deal of it, which makes their vitality exceptionally abundant.
Above one of the giant villages, a brightly colored little bird suddenly chirped, "What did you say? The Dragon King's Reverse Scale and the Phoenix Queen's Crown Feather?"
“That’s right.” A small snake beside it said in an incredulous tone, “Although the distance is a bit far, I’m sure it must be these two tokens.”
"How could that be? If the chieftain were to bestow these two tokens, he would surely have told me... and all the clansmen. But why haven't I received any news?" The little bird tilted its head, giving off a thoughtful air.
The little snake raised its neck and flicked its tongue, seemingly caught in a kind of unspeakable distress.
"I understand!" the little bird suddenly jumped up and exclaimed, "You must have seen wrong!"
"Impossible!" The little snake thrashed its body angrily, retorting in an even louder voice, "That's absolutely impossible."
The little bird curled its beak, seemingly dismissive of the matter, but it clearly didn't want to argue with the little snake, so it asked, "By the way, did your clan leader accept this?"
"They're here."
"Yes, what did the Dragon King say?"
"Observe the situation quietly and do not interfere."
"What?" The little bird suddenly turned its whole body around and exclaimed, "So rigid! If you can't help, what are you here for?"
"Observe the Demon Realm to see if there are any immortals secretly causing trouble in the mortal world." The little snake turned around and asked, "And you, did the Phoenix Lord give you permission to take action?"
The little bird hummed and chirped for a long time before finally saying, "I am a beautiful phoenix. Of course, you should do all the fighting and killing."
"Really?" The little snake looked up suspiciously, its eyes filled with disbelief.
"Hmph." The little bird couldn't stand it anymore and was clearly angry. It said angrily, "You dragons, you only sent a five-hundred-year-old snake like you. What are you doing here?"
"And what about you? You're fifty years younger than me..."
Just as the little snake was about to retort, it suddenly stopped. Its entire body turned towards the stronghold of the demon clan, and a ball of black light suddenly shone from its body.
Almost simultaneously, a burst of colorful light rose from the little bird's body, transforming into a protective shield that completely enveloped it.
They simultaneously felt a powerful sense of majesty that seemed to overwhelm the entire world.
Their bodies trembled uncontrollably, and the protective aura around them was on the verge of collapsing in the face of this divine power. This unimaginable force had exceeded their limits.
However, no matter how heavy the pressure they faced, although their bodies were bent, they were absolutely not like the Lion King, crawling on the ground.
They stood tall and proud, striving to keep from collapsing to the ground. Their dignity as dragons and phoenixes made them prefer death to bowing to others.
The protective shield around him gradually loosened. Clearly, it could no longer withstand the ever-increasing pressure.
However, just as the light shield was about to shatter, an even larger light shield enveloped them. The pressure, while still present, was no longer unbearable.
The two little creatures looked up at the same time and saw an ordinary-looking large bird above them.
"Elder Fenghua, you've arrived!" the little bird chirped excitedly.
Although that large bird was, in any case, just an ordinary bird, and had no relation whatsoever to the phoenix, which was hailed as the most beautiful bird in the world, it still exuded a serene yet majestic aura as it stood there.
Even when faced with the overwhelming divine power, it did not show any sign of backing down.
"Thank you for your help, Elder Fenghua." The little snake bowed respectfully, gently touching its forehead to the ground. Just moments before, its stubborn, proud head had touched the ground on its own initiative.
"No need to stand on ceremony, Elder Long Shi of the Dragon Clan has also arrived."
"Ah, Elder Long Shi, where is he?" the little snake cried out excitedly.
"He went ahead to see who was wielding such powerful pressure."
As they were talking, all three of them simultaneously felt a relaxation in their bodies, and the powerful and invincible pressure instantly vanished.
The two little ones breathed a sigh of relief. With their abilities, they had already reached their limit by holding on until now. If that pressure didn't subside, they would either collapse or have to stay far away.
"Elder, what brings you here?" The little bird hopped over and nestled beside Feng Hua, asking.
"The clan chief told us to come along."
"But this is our trial journey! If you come, won't we fail?" The little bird's voice was a little hurried, clearly showing that it was very concerned about this.
“This time, your trial journey is too difficult, and full of variables and dangers, so the clan leader sent me along.” After patiently explaining, Feng Hua saw that the little bird was still looking sullen, and couldn’t help but laugh: “You’re not not happy to see me, are you?”
"Of course not." The little bird quickly changed its expression and flattered, "This disciple misses you terribly."
The little snake felt a chill run down its spine. It glanced disdainfully at the sycophantic little bird, who had no principles whatsoever.
A dark shadow flashed in the sky, and a tall man appeared silently in front of them.
"Elder Long Shi."
