Chapter 32: Kun Shape, Roc Shape!

Behind the waterfall, a hidden realm revealed itself.

There lay a lake, and at its center stood an outcrop resembling a small island, hovering above the island.

A Unicorn Pegasus suspended in air, its body emanating a shimmering white light.

Illuminating the dark cavern, it faced off against the massive creature in the lake.

The Ancient Wilderness Crocodile!

The Little Holy Beast, the Unicorn Pegasus, was petite in size compared to the Ancient Wilderness Crocodile.

It was like comparing a grain of rice to a watermelon!

Yet with such a tiny stature, it blocked the Ancient Wilderness Crocodile's advance.

The crocodile held back, wary to approach with ease!

"Holy Beasts are indeed Holy Beasts; even in youth, they must not be underestimated!" Li Wan Hua said.

Ling Hu Chongtian nodded.

"Exactly, especially with its aura of sanctity.

Untouched by the common, it exudes a transcendental essence."

Taking the place of the Shadow Assassin, carrying the palanquin, Zhan Tianyi's eyes focused intently.

"There's another little thing over there!" He suddenly pointed to a stone at the very edge of the lake.

Everyone's gaze converged on that spot and noticed a hidden figure.

A little girl whose stature was small and elfin.

She hid beside the stone, only her somewhat dirty little head visible.

While watching the Unicorn Pegasus and the Ancient Wilderness Crocodile, she clutched a piece of roasted meat.

Her small mouth slightly ajar, nibbling incessantly.

When she realized she was being watched, she recoiled.

Hiding behind the stone, only her glassy, large eyes peeked out, warily observing Li Wan Hua and the others.

Boom!

The water surged tumultuously as the Ancient Wilderness Crocodile could no longer contain itself and burst forth from the lake surface, its jaws gaping to bite at the Unicorn Pegasus.

That bite seemed large enough to swallow an elephant whole.

The Unicorn Pegasus remained unflustered, nimbly traversing the air.

While dodging the attack, a glow concentrated on the protrusion on its forehead!

It was amassing a formidable force.

This force was pure and sanctified!

Its presence gave off a feeling of purifying everything in the world!

"Master, I possess the Immortal Physique and am willing to go forth and slay the Ancient Wilderness Crocodile, subduing the Little Holy Beast.

Let the Little Holy Beast become your pet!" Li Wan Hua requested at this moment.

He stood by the palanquin, bowing as a sign.

Ling Hu Chongtian was exasperated.

"This guy always knows how to suck up at the most crucial moments!"

He definitely didn't want Li Wan Hua to be sycophantic towards Yang Yan all the time; otherwise, would he not end up carrying the palanquin forever?

"Master, I think it's better to sit back and watch the tigers fight from the mountain.

Wait until they are wounded and weakened before we act, then it will be simpler and more relaxed to suppress them."

He wanted to profit from their struggle!

Li Wan Hua's face darkened.

Wasn't this undermining his own stance?

"Master, I had the same thought.

But I feared they would entangle for too long, making the Master anxious in waiting, hence I proposed to act."

He hurriedly added his piece!

"No need to wait, I am about to have a breakthrough in my cultivation, reaching the second hidden realm of the Taoist Palace.

Awakening the Lungs hidden, enhancing my cultivation.

Now I need strength as my aid!

This Ancient Wilderness Crocodile, I will deal with it myself."

Yang Yan's voice emanated from within the palanquin, and no sooner had he spoken,

A stream of Profound Qi flew out, transforming into a sword shape in midair.

It tore through the air, creating a vacuum as it raced towards the Ancient Wilderness Crocodile.

Its speed was incredibly fast, reaching the crocodile's gaping mouth almost instantaneously.

With a muffled sound, the Profound Qi penetrated the Ancient Wilderness Crocodile's body.

A spurt of blood sprayed forth.

The Unicorn Pegasus couldn't dodge in time and was stained with blood, but only momentarily.

The blood evaporated completely under its radiant white glow.

Its eyes then turned towards Yang Yan and the others.

Its form flickered and shifted!

In the blink of an eye, it reached the side of the stone, landing before the girl.

At that moment, the girl climbed out and mounted the back of the Unicorn Pegasus.

Her piece of roasted meat unfinished, she continued eating aboard the Unicorn Pegasus.

Boom!

The Ancient Wilderness Crocodile within the lake suddenly went berserk, tumbling in the waters.

Stirring up towering waves, it blocked the Unicorn Pegasus's attempt to flee.

Then the Ancient Wilderness Crocodile rolled over, its belly facing the sky.

The massive body shrank rapidly, like a punctured balloon deflating in an extremely short span of time.

The Unicorn Pegasus's eyes were filled with grave seriousness, its body's saintly aura trembling.

The little girl sitting on its back, gnawing on roasted meat, was also dumbfounded.

She gaped at the Ancient Wilderness Crocodile, now reduced to nothing more than a hide, completely at a loss.

The surface of the water rippled as a sword-shaped Profound Qi flew out,

transforming into a streak of golden light, returning to the palanquin.

The Ancient Wilderness Crocodile's physique was devoured, leaving behind only its skin.

This moment was made evidently clear to both the Unicorn Pegasus and the little girl.

"Little pony, we've encountered the Great Demon King, let's escape quickly!" the little girl's crisp voice rang out.

She lay on the back of the Unicorn Pegasus in a frantic panic.

The Unicorn Pegasus sensed the crisis, its hooves treading upon the void.

It dashed, seeking to escape beyond the waterfall!

"Trap them," Yang Yan commanded.

"At your service, Master."

Li Wan Hua acted immediately, his released Profound Qi even more splendid.

It was like a divine radiance, filled with indescribable magic.

The Profound Qi formed a sealing line, blocking the Unicorn Pegasus's attempt to flee.

The light atop the Unicorn Pegasus's head was now dazzling.

A long spear shot straight over; Zhan Tianyi made a move, leaving the Unicorn Pegasus no place to hide.

A burst of blinding white light erupted, and the power that had gathered above the Unicorn Pegasus's head suddenly released.

The light enveloped the area, then slowly faded away.

The water's surface was still, but the floating hide of the Ancient Wilderness Crocodile had evaporated away.

The stones inside the cave were also smoothed of their edges by the white light that the Unicorn Pegasus had released.

"They're okay!" the little girl exclaimed in surprise.

The Unicorn Pegasus nodded.

It gazed at the hovering Lotus Platform above the palanquin.

It was the Lotus Platform that had blocked the power it released.

"What a beautiful Lotus Platform!" the little girl remarked.

Profound Qi rushed in, sealing off the Unicorn Pegasus's body from all sides.

"That was its full-force strike just now!" Li Wan Hua stated.

He could see the Unicorn Pegasus, suspended and unsteady in mid-air, as if it might collapse at any moment.

"What we should be most concerned with right now is not the Unicorn Pegasus,

but the Master!" The member of the Divine Race, Gu, spoke up.

Ling Hu Chongtian and the others looked towards him.

"Old Bone, what do you mean?" Li Wan Hua asked immediately.

Gu continued to speak.

"When the Master broke through to the Taoist Palace, Heavenly Tribulation appeared, bringing a Thunder Dragon to annihilate the Master.

If he breaks another layer, surely another Heavenly Tribulation will appear," he said solemnly.

Ling Hu Chongtian frowned slightly.

"It shouldn't be possible. Even if a Heavenly Tribulation were to happen, it should be when breaking through a major realm.

The Master is only breaking through a minor realm; such a thing should not happen.

After all, throughout history, there has never been such a case!"

"Then you all are underestimating the Master's presence!" Gu stated.

The group's expressions changed subtly; if the situation was as Gu had described,

then indeed, their greatest concern at this moment should be Yang Yan.

If the Heavenly Tribulation were to descend, they would all be in danger.

"Hopefully there will be no Heavenly Tribulation; it's far too ominous!" Ling Hu Chongtian mused to himself.

The descent of a Thunder Dragon was something he did not wish to experience again!

And that was only the first Heavenly Tribulation!

The subsequent tribulations would surely be tenfold more powerful!

Inside the palanquin, Yang Yan's Profound Qi surged in reverse.

The powerful force broke through the Three Sanjiao Xuanmai's first gate within him.

"Breaking through is indeed difficult!" Yang Yan mused to himself.

Despite the tremendous power stored within his Kidney hidden, he still encountered major resistance during the breakthrough.

"However, I must break through today!

Kunpeng, transform!"

The Kunpeng Devouring Sky Technique divides into two forms!

One is the Kun Form, lurking in the Deep Sea, devouring everything, roaming carefree!

The other is the Roc Form, soaring through the Nine Heavens, dominating the world, formidable and piercing!

The Profound Qi hidden within Yang Yan's Kidney hidden transformed from the Kun Form into the Roc Form!

The Golden Winged Great Roc!

The formidable Profound Qi carried an unstoppable surge, flowing against the current.

It broke through the remaining two gates of the Three Sanjiao Xuanmai, entering the Lungs hidden!

"Congratulations, Host, your Cultivation has broken through to the second hidden of the Taoist Palace!"

At this moment, Yang Yan seemed to have a premonition!

"The Heavenly Tribulation, it's here again!"
