Journey to the West: I have Nine Golden Crows Inside Me-Chapter 1295 - 888 True Kunpeng, Pangu divine being_2

Ruined Land was the ultimate destination of Heaven and Earth, the starting point of the eruption of an Immeasurable Kalpa. Thus, the power of the Ruined Land restrained all things within Heaven and Earth; everything was destined to be devoured by it.

However, that was the complete power of the Ruined Land, and although Kunpeng, the ancestor, had a profound comprehension of the Way of the Ruined Land, he had not reached such a state.

Therefore, he could not devour the entirety of Heaven and Earth, only able to demonstrate part of the power of the Ruined Land, revealing scenes of devouring the starry sky.

Why devour the starry sky and not the earth, or something else?

Of course, it was because Kunpeng, the ancestor, understood the starry sky best! The better he understood, the simpler it was to devour, effortlessly turning it into nourishment for the Way of the Ruined Land.

It could be said that Kunpeng, the ancestor’s reason for contemplating the Way of the Stars was to, at the last moment, turn it into nourishment for the Way of the Ruined Land, thereby making the Way of the Ruined Land undergo transformation and become stronger.

Or perhaps it could be said that Kunpeng, the ancestor’s purpose in joining the Heaven Court was to come into contact with the Boundless Starry Sky.

"So that’s it!"

"Kunpeng, the ancestor, I have underestimated you, thinking that you were captivated by Di Jun’s charismatic personality, thereby being loyal to him, and serving him faithfully."

"Now it seems that your loyalty is not as wholehearted as you portray, and you have your own scheming. To put it bluntly, the purpose of your joining the Heaven Court does not exist, and instead you plan to use the Heaven Court to perfect your own Way of the Ruined Land."

At that time, Jiang Chen finally understood why Kunpeng, the ancestor, was so devotedly loyal to Di Jun. After all, he was not devotedly loyal to Di Jun; he viewed the entire Heaven Court as a tool for his own enlightenment.

For the Ruined Land to be complete, it must devour the entire Heaven and Earth. However, those who cultivate the Way of the Ruined Land do not actually need to devour Heaven and Earth to be complete; they just need to devour the Dao Rhyme of Heaven and Earth, and in the Ruined Land portray the entire Chaos World, to be considered complete.

And to achieve this, one must have an extreme understanding of Heaven and Earth. If Kunpeng, the ancestor, had stayed in the North Sea, he would never have been able to cultivate to such a realm.

Thus, Kunpeng, the ancestor stepped out of the North Sea, intending to traverse the entire Chaos World, recording the Dao Rhyme of Heaven and Earth to perfect the Way of the Ruined Land.

But before long, he discovered that this task was too difficult. The Dao Rhyme of Heaven and Earth was too abundant, and even if he exhausted his lifetime, he could not completely comprehend it.

It was then that Kunpeng, the ancestor saw the Heaven Court and perceived the opportunity to comprehend the complete Dao Rhyme of Heaven and Earth.

If the Heaven Court could truly unify the Prehistoric World and become the center of Heaven and Earth, then the essence of the Dao Rhyme of Heaven and Earth would gather within the small Heaven Court.

At that time, Kunpeng, the ancestor would not need to traverse Heaven and Earth, but merely to comprehend the Heaven Court, to completely perfect his own Way of the Ruined Land, thereby cultivating to the realm of a Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial.

So, when Di Jun invited Kunpeng, the ancestor to join the Heaven Court, he agreed without hesitation, and acted earnestly, wholeheartedly assisting Di Jun.

It was not for others, but purely for himself; as long as he could assist the Heaven Court in unifying Heaven and Earth, he was even willing to submit to others, abiding by Di Jun’s commands.

What was wrong with submitting to others? As long as he could cultivate to a Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial, it would all be worth it. And once he achieved that level, with the strength of the Way of the Ruined Land, he might not be weaker than Di Jun’s Heavenly Emperor’s Way.

The intention behind the Heavenly Emperor was certainly lofty, to be the supreme ruler of Heaven and Earth. But the intention behind the Way of the Ruined Land was also not trivial; it was to devour Heaven and Earth.

"Indeed, there is not a single Great Divine Transcendent in the world who is simple."

After seeing through Kunpeng, the ancestor’s true intentions, his image in Jiang Chen’s mind became vague.

They are all Innate Saints; who is more noble than the other?

Without ulterior motives, would Kunpeng, the ancestor willingly have remained subservient to Di Jun, obeying his commands?

Of course, Di Jun might have also seen through Kunpeng, the ancestor’s motives, which is why he was not the king of the Demon Clan, but only a highly esteemed Demon Master, occupying a position high but still beneath the king.

"Fortunately, I did not plan to rely solely on the Star Array to deal with you; otherwise, I might have really fallen flat on my face today."

Jiang Chen muttered to himself softly, admitting that he had underestimated Kunpeng, the ancestor. Kunpeng, the ancestor’s performance today had often been beyond his expectations; if his hand had not held more cards, today he would probably only be able to flee in defeat.

Whether it was the cultivation of a Half-step Quasi-Saint or the Divine Ability of the Ruined Land specifically targeting the Star Array, these were all beyond Jiang Chen’s expectations.

If it hadn’t been for his breakthrough into a Quasi-Saint earlier, attaining new insights into the Way of Pangu, Jiang Chen would have had no chance of winning against the Kunpeng Ancestor today.

Because his strongest method, the Cycle Divine Palace, was completely countered by the Kunpeng Ancestor. Had he used the Cycle Divine Palace to confront the Kunpeng Ancestor, there was a real risk that this treasure would be devoured by the Ruined Land.

The thought of the Cycle Divine Palace being swallowed by the Ruined Land filled Jiang Chen with dread; the Kunpeng Ancestor’s power was already at its limit. Should he consume the Cycle Divine Palace, he would surely ascend to a Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial.

Why had the Kunpeng Ancestor resorted to his most powerful Divine Ability right from the start? Did anyone really believe he did so out of anger? What a joke, at his level of strength, would his actions be swayed by emotions?

He had set his sights on Jiang Chen’s Cycle Divine Palace, aiming for a surprise attack to devour it, which was why he directly used his most powerful Divine Ability.

Had Jiang Chen’s reaction been slow or had he failed to perceive the true intent of the Kunpeng Ancestor, there might not have been a future for him, and all his efforts would have been for the benefit of the Kunpeng Ancestor.

This was the essence of a battle between masters; a single thought could determine the direction of the advantage.

"Cycle Star Array, arise!"

Faced with the Kunpeng Ancestor’s use of his strongest Divine Ability, Jiang Chen did not hold back and employed his most powerful method as well.

The Cycle Divine Palace above him gradually activated the Cycle Star Array. Then, the entire Cycle Divine Palace became blurred, transforming into a mysterious starry sky, fusing with the supreme Golden Figure outside Jiang Chen’s body.

Instantly, the supreme Golden Figure underwent a startling transformation, lighting up with countless points of light. These were Pangu Divine Orifices, where each orifice was a world, a star.

On every star was a Divine Palace, and within each palace sat a God holding a star scepter in one hand and star chart in the other, reciting scriptures continuously.

"Kunpeng Ancestor, have you ever considered what would happen if the God-killing Array and the Cycle Star Array, these two supreme arrays, fused together?"

Jiang Chen’s laughter echoed between Heaven and Earth. At the same time, endless starlight flowed within the supreme Golden Figure, constructing meridians and blood vessels, causing it to gradually grow flesh and blood, transforming into a true Living Being.

The Golden Figure was the essence, the starlight was the energy, and Jiang Chen was the spirit. At that moment, the supreme Golden Figure was fully realized, taking on an appearance similar to Jiang Chen’s and even more so to Pangu Great God.

For this Golden Figure was crafted by Jiang Chen using Pangu Great God as a model, and those Cycle Stars were the Divine Orifices of Pangu Great God.

Therefore, it could be called the Pangu Divine Being.

At this moment, the Kunpeng Ancestor was mired in shock.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

"We once attempted to merge the God-killing Array with the Cycle Star Array to create the ultimate array, but all attempts ended in failure."

"How can you achieve what we could not!"

The voice of the Kunpeng Ancestor brimmed with disbelief; he couldn’t fathom how Jiang Chen accomplished what the combined wisdom of the entire Demon Clan could not.

Could it be that the collective effort of the Demon Clan paled in comparison to a single Jiang Chen?

Of course not, the Demon Clan failed because they knew too little of the Way of Pangu.

But Jiang Chen had a profound understanding of the Way of Pangu. Thus, he found the connection between the two formations, which allowed him to fuse them into an invincible great array.

"Die!"

Jiang Chen bellowed, driving the Pangu Divine Being directly into the Ruined Land formed by the Kunpeng Ancestor.

"Courting death!"

"Even if you’ve merged the two great arrays, so what? Once you enter the Ruined Land, you’ll still be unable to escape being devoured by me..."
