Journey to the West: I have Nine Golden Crows Inside Me-Chapter 1285 - 883 heading to the North Sea

Inside the Dao Mirror, a figure Jiang Chen was all too familiar with was clearly reflected—the Kunpeng Ancestor.

His Divine Ability was formidable, having deceived even Jiang Chen, but it couldn’t trick the Dao Mirror; with just one glance, his true identity was revealed.

Jiang Chen had never imagined that this remaining Quasi-Saint powerhouse would also be an Avatar of the Kunpeng Ancestor.

Yes, an Avatar, not the true self.

The Kunpeng Ancestor was an exceedingly cautious individual. As the main character during the Quantitative Calamity of witches and demons, while all others perished in the final battle, he had survived unscathed and roamed freely to this day, which spoke volumes of his caution.

How could such a character risk himself by sending his true self into the heartland of the Human Race?

His true self had not come, but he had sent two Avatars here, one in the open and one in secret.

According to the Kunpeng Ancestor’s plan, if Emperor Qin and the enemy were to fight and end up both weakened or with a pyrrhic victory, then his Avatar lurking in the dark might just take advantage of the situation by surprise.

Unfortunately for him, he had miscalculated. There was no evenly matched struggle, only unilateral crushing.

Despite the alliance of three Great Divine Transcendents, they were no match for Emperor Qin, who killed two and suppressed the third.

The price Emperor Qin paid was merely revealing his trump card.

What use was exposing one’s trump card? Apart from making Emperor Qin appear stronger, it held no advantage for the Kunpeng Ancestor, who had been hoping to profit from the situation. Instead, it made his position dangerous.

Just like now, he had become the target of both Emperor Qin and Jiang Chen.

"Keeping an Avatar hidden in the dark, Kunpeng, you were looking to pick up an easy win, weren’t you?" Blocking the Kunpeng Ancestor’s escape route, Emperor Qin said with a smile.

"Da Yu, you’re quite capable."

"Although I had anticipated that those three wastes wouldn’t be able to match you, I didn’t expect them to be so utterly useless. Not being able to be your opponent is one thing, but they couldn’t even inflict the slightest injury on you, resulting in the loss of my Avatar here today."

Having been exposed, the Kunpeng Ancestor stopped pretending and spoke openly.

He cursed his bad luck inwardly; it was expected that the Guiyi trio were no match for Emperor Qin.

But in his view, the Guiyi trio, as Great Divine Transcendents, should have been able to disperse Emperor Qin’s Martial Dao will by fighting for their lives.

However, the development of the situation was completely beyond his expectation; they were too useless, easily dispatched by Emperor Qin in no time.

Now, facing Emperor Qin holding the Spring and Autumn Brush, even if his true self were here, he might not be able to defeat him, let alone this Avatar.

Barring any surprises, this Avatar of his was bound to be annihilated today.

Thinking along these lines, the Kunpeng Ancestor resigned himself to fate and said, "I am outperformed, there’s nothing more to say. There’s no need for you to take action; I’ll do it myself."

As he spoke, the Avatar of the Kunpeng Ancestor suddenly ignited with flames comprised entirely of runes that were dazzling and majestic, exuding the utmost authority.

Huiyi—forsaking everything to return directly to Heaven and Earth. The whole process was irreversible, and no one could stop it.

The Kunpeng Ancestor was decisive. Seeing that he was outmatched, without even struggling, he chose Huiyi, incinerating his Avatar completely without leaving anything behind for the Human Race.

The Kunpeng Ancestor could die, but would never benefit the enemy; he would rather his essence return to Heaven and Earth than fall cheaply into the hands of the Human Race.

"How resolute!"

Emperor Qin commented with a laugh. Stopping someone from returning to the Tao was equivalent to combating Heaven and Earth, a price not even Saints were willing to bear.

Hence, both he and Jiang Chen simply watched the scene unfold without any intention of intervening.

Elsewhere, Mother Earth and Empress Nuwa had left at some unknown time.

After the Kunpeng Ancestor’s Avatar had completed the process of Huiyi, the external threats that had come to Xianyang City were effectively annihilated, leaving none behind.

Not quite, somebody did survive. Yun Zhongzi, who Jiang Chen had banished, was not dead, but now it was unknown to which space he had been cast.

"Jiang Chen, would you be interested in accompanying me to the North Sea?" Suddenly, Emperor Qin, holding the Great Wall in his hand, asked Jiang Chen.

"To the North Sea?"

Jiang Chen first was stunned, then became excited. He understood Emperor Qin Shi Huang’s intention—they were going to the North Sea to hunt down the ancient Kunpeng ancestor!

"This strand of my Martial Dao will can’t last much longer. Before I depart, let me use the last of my strength to do one final thing for the Human Race."

"The Ancient Human Race’s grudge must be avenged!"

Emperor Qin Shi Huang’s eyes were filled with determination, and his tone full of murderous intent and hatred. Yet at this moment, he reigned in all his power, appearing incredibly calm.

Beside him, Jiang Chen could clearly sense that beneath this calm was a terrifying power brewing.

This moment of tranquility was the precursor to the most horrific of storms.

To head to the North Sea, to hunt down the ancient Kunpeng ancestor!

Now, Emperor Qin Shi Huang, in his final moments, was taking on his duty as the Human King, aiming to eliminate a great enemy for the ancestors and to avenge the Ancient Human Race.

In that distant Ancient Era, the Kunpeng ancestor, serving as a demon master for the Heaven Court, had also been stained with the blood of the Ancient Human Race.

"Jiang Chen wishes to accompany Your Majesty to the North Sea!"

Jiang Chen, inspired by Emperor Qin Shi Huang’s resolve, was determined to join him on a quest to the North Sea to hunt down the ancient Kunpeng ancestor.

As for the collaboration with Zhen Yuanzi, that had already been cast from Jiang Chen’s mind. No matter what, taking action themselves to slay the ancient Kunpeng ancestor would bring about a far better outcome than joining with outsiders.

The Human Race’s grudge must be settled by the Human Race themselves, showing true sincerity. What good would it do to rely on others? And what could be more joyous than slaying one’s own nemesis by one’s own hand?

Besides, ever since he prepared to collaborate with the Underworld River ancestor, Jiang Chen had no intention of involving Zhen Yuanzi any further.

One must make choices, and having chosen to collaborate with the Underworld River ancestor, it was inevitable that he would become an enemy to Zhen Yuanzi. Under such circumstances, it was better to have less to do with Zhen Yuanzi.

Otherwise, if he and Zhen Yuanzi joined forces and after they had slain the ancient Kunpeng ancestor, would it be considered avenging Zhen Yuanzi, or Zhen Yuanzi avenging the Human Race? Such unclear distinctions could easily result in owing someone a tremendous favor.

"Ha ha, let’s go!"

"Today, let us join forces to slay that ancient Kunpeng ancestor in the North Sea."

Emperor Qin Shi Huang laughed heartily, lifting the Spring and Autumn Brush that sealed the True Spirit of Guiyi and headed towards the North Sea. Not to be outdone, Jiang Chen activated the Twelve Golden Men and followed in his footsteps.

Thus, the first king of the Ancient Human Race set out alongside the foremost king of the current times, heading together towards the North Sea.

For two kings of the Human Race to venture out together, both with the potential to become the Human King—such an event, even in the Distant Ancient Era, would have been a rare and grand spectacle, enough to shake the whole of Heaven and Earth.

And at this moment, as the two kings stepped out of Xianyang city, the entire Prehistoric World was alerted.

"What’s happening?"

"Da Yu and Jiang Chen have actually left Xianyang city, where are they going?"

"That direction, it’s the North Sea!"

"They’re actually heading to the North Sea, could it be..."

In an instant, the whole world fell silent, all the Great Divine Transcendents knowing that an earth-shattering event was about to take place.

Jiang Chen and Emperor Da Yu made no secret of their purpose, boldly striding towards the North Sea. Any Great Divine Transcendent, not being a fool, could guess their intention.

They were going to settle scores with Kunpeng!

What sort of being was the ancient Kunpeng ancestor? The overlord of the Ancient Era, the premier entity among the Ancient demon clan under the Heaven Court’s three emperors, the ultimate demon master revered by all.

Despite his reclusive nature in recent years, rarely taking action in the world, his strength was beyond doubt.

If one were to rank the Great Divine Transcendents of Heaven and Earth, although the Kunpeng ancestor’s power might not be first, he would certainly be within the top ten.

Yet such a being was now targeted by two great Human Kings. Without need for speculation, regardless of the outcome, this battle would shake the entire Heaven and Earth, a feat worthy of entry into the annals of Prehistoric World history.
