Chapter 151: Two Great Exponents
Such a frail and pretty looking youth was actually the Peac.o.c.k King whose name resounded throughout the southern regions of the Eastern Badlands, this was simply too astonis.h.i.+ng.
Faced with such a great exponent, Ye Fan did not even have any intention of resisting, the other party could shatter s.p.a.ce with a single finger, if he wanted to kill himself as well as Ji Ziyue, it would be easier than taking a single breath.
“I’m here for you.” The Peac.o.c.k King’s expression was calm like a still pond as he gazed at Ye Fan. At the back, Ji Ziyue’s large eyes were wide open as she questioned hesitantly: “Aren’t you here to kill me?”
The Peac.o.c.k King did not respond, he was extremely quiet like a Jade tree covered in snow, giving one a feeling of serenity, he did not seem like an exponent with terrifying spiritual power.
“Why have you come for me?” Ye Fan already had a guess within his heart.
“Sacred heart of the Demonic Emperor.” The Peac.o.c.k King merely said these words, it was precisely what Ye Fan had expected.
This made him feel constipated, back then he had attempted to squeeze out the sacred blood, the heart had suddenly broken free of its confines, regaining its vitality as it palpitated and jumped, escaping into the sky.
“How should I say this……. It flew away on its own.” Ye Fan could only grit his teeth to explain, this explanation was really quite far-fetched. However, the Peac.o.c.k King merely nodded.
“You…… believe me?”
“I believe you, I personally saw it fly back to the hands of the descendant of the Demonic Emperor.”
Ye Fan was stunned, that heart was really phenomenal, it had actually managed to return to Yan Ruyu and he could not help but ask: “Since it’s already returned, why are you still looking for me?”
“I wish to understand why would it fly away?” The Peac.o.c.k King laughed as he stared at Ye Fan’s Wheel and Sea, seeming to be able to see all the secrets that laid within.
Even if Ye Fan knew it, he simply could not defend against such a great exponent, however, he was not about to make it easy for someone else to see through his secrets. The Wheel and Sea within him was extremely calm and desolate without a single fluctuation.
The Peac.o.c.k King continued to have a smile on his face as he gently walked forward, there was no frightening pressure and it seemed like a gentle breeze blowing by yet it still created an enormous pressure within one’s heart.
Ji Ziyue spoke up: “You are an exponent of legends, you shouldn’t bully us like this. You should go look for the leader of the Twinkling Brilliance Sacred Ground, back then you only fought him to a standstill and haven’t beaten him yet.”
“How about I look for the leader of your Ji Family to create trouble instead?” The Peac.o.c.k King had a faint smile on his face, in contrast to his sixteen to seventeen look, this gave one an extremely strange feeling.
“The movement technique you displayed earlier, who was the one who taught it to you?” The Peac.o.c.k King’s smile faded away as a serious expression appeared on his face.
“A crazed old man taught it to me.” Ye Fan replied honestly.
“It’s really him, he actually taught it to you!” Two streaks of dazzling lights seemed to s.h.i.+ne from the Peac.o.c.k King’s eyes, they were extremely pressurising causing one to finally see his fearsomeness, his gaze seemed to be as sharp as blades.
“Senior should have met the crazed old man already, he is currently at the Tai Xuan sect.” Ye Fan had absolute confid

ence in the crazed old man, he had lived for six thousand years without any issues, even if the Peac.o.c.k King was an exponent, it was unlikely for him to be a match for the old man.
“It’s a pity that I didn’t meet him, he vanished a number of days ago.” Regret could be seen on the face of the Peac.o.c.k King.
The crazed old man had been shrouded within a coc.o.o.n and had been unconscious, how did he suddenly disappear? Did he break out of the coc.o.o.n? If so, where did he go? Ye Fan really wished to know.
“With regards to your physique, I am extremely interested. I really with to study it more.” Having said this, he paused for a moment before continued: “However, since the Peng Qian that craze old man has actually taught you some techniques, I won’t make things difficult for you.”
By the side, Ji Ziyue’s large eyes were flas.h.i.+ng, what sort of personage was the crazed old man? Six thousand years ago, it was difficult to find anyone who could be a match for him, Ye Fan actually had relations with the old man, this was simply too astonis.h.i.+ng.
“However, since we’ve already met, if I were to pa.s.s up on this chance, that would really be regretful.” The Peac.o.c.k King’s hands waved as the entire sky suddenly became dark.
The sky was initially bright with a blazing sun high in the sky, with a single wave, night had actually descended, such prowess really left one breathless. In the pitch black night sky, stars could be seen like crystals in the night, continually flas.h.i.+ng.
“This can’t be considered making things difficult for you, whether you are able to pierce through this night or not, I will leave it to you. I only wish to see how powerful your physique really is.”
“This is an avatar of the Wheel and Sea……. Radiant Stars of the Clear Skies!” Ji Ziyue was extremely shocked.
The Peac.o.c.k King had merely waved his hand, it seemed extremely simple and nonchalant yet he created an avatar of legends, it was said to be extremely powerful but he did not even use his Wheel and Sea to activate it.
“These are merely a small number of dim stars, I’ve already said that I won’t make things difficult for you, this is not a complete avatar.” The Peac.o.c.k King’s voice was monotonous but a smile could still be seen on his face.
At this moment, Ye Fan seemed to be directly under the stars, each star was flas.h.i.+ng in the sky as it slowly grew bigger, slowly pressing down towards him.
“Rumble!”
The earth seemed to shatter as the stars gradually grew bigger, they were as heavy as mountains, exceptionally dazzling causing the entire sky to actually light up! Those could no longer be considered as little twinkling stars but rather large blazing suns!
Ye Fan’s heart trembled, what sort of avatar was this? Each star was exceptionally terrifying as though it could completely destroy the earth, containing an incredibly vast amount of pressure. His consciousness was trembling as his body emitted cracking noises, all the bones within his body were teetering as he fought off the immense pressure.
Those stars were impossibly far away and had not actually descended but they were already so frightening, it was simply impossible to determine their true power.
“When people discuss about avatars, they would always mention how terrifying the avatars the exponents of the ancient past were, the Peac.o.c.k King before us is also known as a peerless exponent, his avatar is indeed terrifying……”
Ye Fan had been deeply shocked, the other party obviously had a limitless amount of power, he had merely used a number of ‘dim’ stars and the ‘clear sky’ had not even made it’s appearance yet the results were already so terrifying. How frightening would the true ‘Radiant Stars of the Clear Skies’ be? The stars in the sky continued to tremble as Ye Fan struggled to slowly move on the ground, rumbling noises of the howling sea could be heard from his body as though it were indignant at being suppressed, lightning and thunder entwined like the creation of the world as a strange energy flowed from his Wheel and Sea.
Ye Fan’s heart trembled, he was gradually beginning to understand that the ancient desolate sacred body was exceptionally sensitive to suppression, it would always move once it was suppressed.
Whether it be the first avatar Bright Moon over the Sea or the Stars Radiant Stars of the Clear Skies, they caused his physique to have an involuntary reaction, releasing a strange energy. Beneath the stars, Ye Fan continued to move forward, one step after another as he left deep footsteps within the earth.
The stars did not descend as they continued to flash up above, like the origin qi of all living things or the nebula of the cosmos as they surged towards Ye Fan.
“Crack!”
Ye Fan felt as though he was carrying a mountain as he looked at the clear sky, the ground beneath him continued to fissure as the bones within him continued to tremble and creak like the sounds of grinding metal.
“w.a.n.g!”
A ferocious rumbling could be heard as the scene before Ye Fan lit up, he had finally walked out from that piece of night. Looking all around, the stars had disappeared and only the large indentations could be seen left on the ground, fissures could be seen spreading from those footprints.
“That physique is really as phenomenal as the legends state.” The Peac.o.c.k King nodded as a strange light flashed through his eyes, an appreciative smile could be seen on his face.
“He has already pa.s.sed the test, you can let him go now. As for me, if you wish to kill me, go ahead. I’m not afraid.” Ji Ziyue lifted her neck, straight and elegant, under the current circ.u.mstances, she was extremely calm without any fear.
“Little la.s.s, it seems that you do have some backbone.” The Peac.o.c.k King had his hands folded behind his back, there was no discernible expression on his gentle face as he continued: “Killing you will be quite a pity, it is rare for there to be someone with your physique, killing you would be forcing an extermination.”
“Does that mean that you will let me go?” A moving light flashed through Ji Ziyue’s large eyes: “The Peac.o.c.k King is indeed straightforward and decisive, it’s no wonder you are a senior peerless exponent of legends, Ziyue expresses her thanks here.”
“This la.s.s……. You really know how to change with the ebb and flow of the tide, when did I say I would let you off?” A faint smile appeared on the Peac.o.c.k King’s face.
“You said that it would be a pity if you killed me off…….” Ji Ziyue’s voice was very soft as she mumbled but she did not dare to grind her teeth.
“Senior, the fault does not lie with her, if you wish to kill, you should find the venerated elders of the Ji Family. She is merely a young la.s.s who doesn’t know anything, there isn’t any need to finish her off.” Ye Fan pleaded from the side.
“Do you believe yourself to be very influential?” The Peac.o.c.k King glanced at him before looking back at Ji Ziyue: “I will let you keep your life, however, you must leave with me. You are not allowed to return to the Ji Family, you will be complementary with the descendent of the demonic emperor.”
Ji Ziyue was scared stiffless, following an exponent of the demonic race, this thought had never crossed her mind as she said pitifully: “No, please, I’ve never killed anyone before and I haven’t done bad things, I’ve never even stepped on ants before……”
“The people of your Ji Family were too ruthless, killing the people of my race and chasing the descendent of the great emperor, I naturally have to make them pay a price. Taking you away will certainly make them feel regret.”
“How is my brother Haoyue, you didn’t kill him right?” Ji Ziyue questioned.
“The divine body was indeed exceptional, however, he did not manage to escape.”
“Don’t kill brother Haoyue, he has a divine body, killing him will be such a pity…….” Ji Ziyue pleaded.
“So what if he has a divine body? According to rumours, the crazed old man managed to personally kill a cultivator who had reached the large success stage of the divine body, an Eastern Badlands Divine King, my lifespan won’t be sufficient to wait that long, I can only kill a person who hasn’t fully matured his divine body to fulfill my heart’s wishes.” The Peac.o.c.k King said dispiritedly.
By the side, Ye Fan and Ji Ziyue were still reeling in shock, the crazed old man was simply too heaven-defying, even someone who had reached the large success stage of the divine body, an Eastern Badlands Divine King, was killed, this was simply too astonis.h.i.+ng.
“How is my brother?” Ji Ziyue was feeling extremely anxious.
“My eldest disciple is currently moving to capture him, I’m waiting for the leader of your Ji Family to act.” The Peac.o.c.k King spoke calmly but his words were shocking, he really was an exponent of the demonic race, this was truly the sort of imposing att.i.tude that had the history of waging war with the master of the Twinkling Brilliance Sacred ground.
Now he wants to shakedown the Sacred master of the Ji Family.
At this moment, The Peac.o.c.k King suddenly gazed at the horizon: “Nan Gongzheng, since you’ve already come, why not show yourself?”
In the air, flower petals were gently fluttering down, each of them were sparkling and translucent, this was a great dao of freshness. The fragrant scent penetrated deeply into the heart.
Dazzling lights flashed as the Great Dao of Fresh Flowers released its splendour, before them, a male clothed in green could be seen, his stature was tall and straight, the pupils of his eyes seemed like stars, his hair was white like snow, all this put together an aura of a great hero.
An exponent of the human race from legends, Nan Gongzheng, cultivator of the arts of longevity. The plants and woods are his home, the fresh flowers can allay his hunger and he is never far from any vegetation.
“We parted ways eight hundred years ago, the Peac.o.c.k King is still as vibrant as ever, thinking back, your great battle against the leader of the Twinkling Brilliance, that astonis.h.i.+ng scene seems to flash right before me.”
Nan Gongzheng seemed to be merely twenty years of age, his figure was tall and upright, his appearance suave, white hair flowed like snow giving off an extremely unique aura.
“Why speak of that, does Nan Gongzheng plan to interfere?” The Peac.o.c.k King stood with his hands in akimbo.
“Peac.o.c.k King, you’re an extraordinary existence, why bother to cause so much trouble. How about you let this matter rest and work together with me to enter the Bronze Immortal Palace?”
“Really unprincipled!” Ji Ziyue softly mumbled: “The Peac.o.c.k King’s spiritual power is unfathomable, his howl can churn rivers and shake mountains yet looks to like a young youth. Nan Gongzheng treats all vegetation as his friends, fresh flowers as his companions yet looks so suave and imposing. We should capture them and force them to do ch.o.r.es like sweeping the floor, planting flowers or even cooking!”
“What is flowing through that mind of yours…….” Ye Fan stood beside her and could not help but knock her head gently with his fist.
