Chapter 1260 Unreconciled
A bronze cauldron immediately appeared before Chen Yang, though it was larger than the previous one.
Blood gushed from Chen Yang, and he instantly became a small figure of blood.
This was a side effect of consuming spirit stones; the more blood, the more power Chen Yang possessed.
Chen Yang poured all his spiritual energy into the bronze cauldron and hurled it directly at the Winged God.
The Winged God's face lit up with joy. If he could obtain the bronze cauldron and master the power within, the Nascent Soul realm would be within his grasp!
But the moment the bronze cauldron truly reached the Winged God, he immediately sensed the immense spiritual power it contained!
The spiritual energy attached to the bronze cauldron made it move with incredible speed, like a massive hammer, smashing towards him.
"Hmph, do you think these petty tricks of yours can harm me?"
The Winged God carelessly gathered his spiritual energy before him, his wings tensed, waiting for the bronze cauldron to fall into his embrace.
But the instant they collided, the impact of the collision triggered a massive shockwave.
"Impossible! How could this be!"
The Winged God was shocked to discover that the power attached to the bronze cauldron had reached the strength of a peak Combined Core cultivator.
Chen Yang was supposedly only a mid-stage Combined Core cultivator, capable of unleashing the power of the seventh or eighth layer of the Combined Core realm through a human race secret technique, which was already terrifying.
Yet, this guy could unleash the power of a peak Combined Core cultivator.
"Is this a human race secret technique?"
The Winged God's spiritual energy instantly collapsed.
Before encountering Chen Yang, the Winged God had already sustained severe injuries.
Several battles had pushed his already wounded body to its absolute limit.
Although the power of the bronze cauldron had only just reached the peak Combined Core realm, if the Winged God had been in his prime, it would have been utterly useless.
After all, the Winged God had cultivated for thousands of years. However, it was more than enough to deal with the current Winged God!
"Bang!"
The bronze cauldron pierced directly through the Winged God's wing.
Scarlet feathers scattered in the air.
The Winged God clutched his wound and looked at Chen Yang in disbelief.
Before the Winged God could react, Chen Yang had already appeared before him.
His speed was even faster than the bronze cauldron had been.
Chen Yang was not faring much better.
The giant sword summoned by the Winged God earlier had not only slain the Sacred Moon God Venerable but had also injured Chen Yang.
The bloody exposed bone on Chen Yang's back was vulnerable to the air. Although the spiritual energy from the Heavenly Doctor Technique was controlling the injury, it only prevented it from worsening.
The incessant pain was assaulting Chen Yang's mental power.
Combined with the high-grade spirit stones he had consumed, Chen Yang's blood and spiritual energy were boiling.
The injury he had managed to control moments ago erupted again.
Chen Yang was now completely relying on his willpower to control his body.
If not for the power of tree growth he had obtained earlier, which was continuously supplying the flame spiritual energy in his heart, his heart's core would likely have slowly disappeared by now.
However, all of this was sufficient!
The Winged God was now sufficiently weakened!
Chen Yang feigned a strike with his Wood Thunder Sword and immediately retrieved the returning bronze cauldron.
The Winged God gritted his teeth, looking at Chen Yang, and sneered, "I truly underestimated you. You are indeed worthy of being from the human race."
"However, you are still too weak. If it were Jiang Jiantao, he would have done better than you!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Yang chuckled instead of getting angry. "Yes, Jiang Jiantao is gone, and I am Chen Yang."
"While I may not possess his powerful sword techniques, I have other ways to deal with you!"
"Now, it's time for you to flee!"
Before the Winged God could react, Chen Yang’s bronze cauldron instantly sucked him in.
The Winged God's vision blurred. When he saw his surroundings, several spiritual energy chains appeared on his body.
They were not constructed, merely pure spiritual energy.
The immense spiritual energy was even greater than what the Winged God could control at his peak.
"Where is this place?"
The Winged God looked around. When Chen Yang's figure appeared before him, he suddenly noticed someone very familiar standing behind Chen Yang.
Penglai King Venerable!
Why was this fellow standing with Chen Yang?
Had he joined the human race?
However, in the next second, the Winged God sensed something was amiss.
The Penglai King Venerable's eyes were devoid of spiritual energy, appearing lifeless.
Seeing the Winged God's gaze, Chen Yang immediately understood.
These two must have known each other.
Although the Penglai King Venerable's strength was in the weakest tier, he was still a peak Combined Core cultivator.
"Since you know each other, I'll send you to see him."
Chen Yang had no intention of refining the Winged God. Firstly, there was a limit to how many he could refine.
Qi Fang, Wu Tu from before, and now the Penglai King Venerable had already reached the limit of what Chen Yang could control.
Secondly, the Winged God's strength was completely different from those before.
He might possess something that could save his life!
Chen Yang dared not gamble.
Since he had already drawn the opponent into the bronze cauldron, this guy had to die.
With a surge of overwhelming spiritual energy sealing the Winged God, Chen Yang controlled his Wood Thunder Sword and the Penglai King Venerable, charging forward.
The Winged God was filled with unwillingness.
He had roamed the mortal realm for thousands of years, and the Winged Clan he controlled was undoubtedly a top-tier power in the mortal realm.
Yet, now, he had met his end in a ditch, about to die at the hands of Chen Yang.
Human race!
He had evaded Jiang Jiantao a thousand years ago, only to fall to Chen Yang.
"No! You cannot kill me!"
"Don't you want to know what happened back then?"
"What Jiang Jiantao did in the mortal realm was very secret, and you..."
Halfway through his sentence, the Winged God's gaze suddenly caught sight of something.
Nascent Soul Spirit Marrow!
The Nascent Soul Spirit Marrow, which he had tried everything to obtain, yet failed!
It was actually in Chen Yang's possession?
No!
Before the spiritual domain opened, even peak Combined Core cultivators could not enter.
It wasn't Chen Yang who obtained it?
Then who could it be?
As the name Jiang Jiantao appeared in the Winged God's mind, a wry smile spread across his face.
So, all these things had already been obtained by Jiang Jiantao!
...
Chen Yang looked at the bloody feathers before him and collapsed onto the ground, utterly spent.
Fortunately, beneath Chen Yang's feet was the Water of Life flowing from the Nascent Soul Spirit Marrow.
The surrounding Life Spirit Stones slowly gathered around Chen Yang, beginning to repair his body.
The tree power, which had been extremely weak within Chen Yang, began to exude vitality.
Although the injury on Chen Yang's back could not be healed in a short period, it was stabilized.
Once his mental power recovered, Chen Yang immediately left the bronze cauldron.
After all, Bei Xuan was still waiting outside.
And it was likely not just the Winged God who had entered this mysterious space.
