Chapter 258: Chapter 257: Battle at the Peak
Yet, it was the Peacock Demon King who launched the first offensive.
Its wings flapped, and at the tips of the Peacock feathers on its back, patterns of circular shapes emitted beams of silver light. The beams converged in the air, turning into a vast expanse of silver glow, tearing the space apart into countless black lines that sliced forward. Wherever it passed, the sparkling sky was instantly carved with cracks.
The Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor snorted coldly, with beams of golden light shooting from its pupils. Crystal glimmers naturally lit up around it, like a sudden meteor shower rising to meet those slicing spatial cracks.
When the crystal light touched the cracks, it was as if mending the heavens themselves, actually filling in each one. And as the cracks disappeared, the crystal light became even more intense, continuously sealing the space and rolling toward the Peacock Demon King.
This was the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor using its incredibly strong power to close off all space. The bloodline talent of the Peacock Demon Clan was spatial manipulation, and when all the space was sealed and restrained, its power would undoubtedly diminish to its lowest.
Above the Peacock Demon King\'s head, a golden crown quietly lit up, with a pale golden light cascading down, causing its aura to surge instantly. The Peacock feathers on its back seemed to double in a moment, and its eyes looked toward the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor as it let out a sharp cry.
"Boom—" The entire sky instantly turned dark, as if the sky had collapsed in that instant.
All the crystal light, in just a moment, disintegrated into countless pieces that were devoured by the darkness.
In the infinite expanse of blackness, only the colossal figure of the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor remained fairly distinct, but it seemed to be restrained by the sudden darkness and felt somewhat stiff.
"What powerful spatial fluctuations," Asura murmured to himself.
He and Pretty Girl were naturally watching this once-in-a-lifetime battle. The moment the fluctuations appeared, he had already stepped sideways, standing in front of Pretty Girl. The terrifying spatial fluctuation seemed to be on the verge of destroying the entire world, but both the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor and the Peacock Demon King tried to let their immense power burst forth in the sky. Despite this, the horrific pressure still made countless beings go limp.
Pretty Girl keenly felt that when Asura stepped in front of her, his figure seemed to become majestic, actually shielding her from all the pressure.
Spatial fluctuations, huh? He\'s not from my Peacock Demon Clan, so how would he know about spatial fluctuations?
Indeed, that strike from the Peacock Demon King was caused by the power within its bloodline vibrating the space above the entire Jiali Mountain Range, shattering all space and turning it into a formidable spatial vortex that forcefully drew in the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor. One of the inherent skills of the Peacock Demon Clan and something that only a God level strong individual above the Demon King Level could possess. The power displayed by the Peacock Demon King when it was used was thus so extreme.
The Peacock Demon King, now a trail of silver light, brought forth numerous dazzling colors with its feathers, and in just an instant, had already reached the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor. The Peacock feathers lashed out, aiming straight for the crucial points on the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor\'s body.
"Ding ding ding ding ding ding ding!" A series of crisp sounds rang out like morning bells and evening drums, echoing throughout the Jiali Mountain Range and clearly audible in every corner of Jiali City.
That Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor, seemingly frozen in the sky controlled by the spatial vortex, had eyes filled with mockery, "Are you giving Your Majesty a massage?"
The Peacock Demon King\'s pupils suddenly contracted, and the next moment, three Golden Crystal-like phoenix tail feathers had already swept across, striking its large body and sending it flying, completely enveloped in golden crystal light, like a caged bird, glittering with gold.
A pinpoint of crystal light flared on the forehead of the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor and, in the next instant, the pitch-black night sky was as if illuminated by the sun, regaining brightness once again.
"Have you forgotten what my clan excels at the most?" said the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor, sarcasm swirling in its eyes. Its wings spread, creating two massive swaths of crystal light that spanned thousands of meters, resembling blades that could cleave the heavens, they streaked towards the Peacock Demon King. Although it was speaking, its attack did not pause for a moment.
The body of the Peacock Demon King, enveloped by golden crystal light, stalled. "Isn\'t your clan\'s specialty just hiding away?" Its voice seemed unaffected by the state of its body. And in the next moment, it had vanished into thin air.
The golden crystal light that had been enclosing the Peacock Demon King quickly converged inward, losing any trace of it. The two massive swaths of crystal light slashed through the air, leaving only their sparkling beauty behind.
A flicker of doubt crossed the eyes of the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor. It had clearly sealed off all the Peacock Demon King\'s connections to space, so how could it still teleport away? How did it do it?
The immense chasm between their ranks didn\'t seem to allow it to completely suppress the other.
And in the next instant, the Peacock Demon King that had vanished from sight reappeared above Jiali City. Brilliant silver radiance turned the vast city below almost into a silver world. Dazzling silver light converged behind it, blooming like a silver sun and filling the sky with magnificent glory, while the aura of the Peacock Demon King surged wildly. The gold light on its forehead grew even more splendid, and its peacock feathers began to take on a golden hue. The city below, Jiali City, seemed to exist within nothingness, flickering with silver brilliance, as if it could be teleported away at any moment.
"A Demon Emperor aura? Impossible." The eyes of the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor shifted dramatically, filled with disbelief.
The Peacock Demon King calmly said, "Nothing is impossible. Your folly is just like your choice from back then."
The eyes of the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor darkened, and instead of continuing the attack, it quietly watched as the aura of the Peacock Demon King rose above Jiali City.
"I understand now. You\'ve borrowed the power of your ancestors. Using Jiali City as the Formation Eye, you\'ve gathered the ancestral luck to temporarily elevate your cultivation base. You yourself have not reached the level of the Great Demon Emperor; it is only by harnessing the gathered ancestral luck that you can temporarily rise. Well, I am curious to see how long you can last."
As it spoke, the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor flapped its phoenix wings and transformed into a huge streak of light, like a comet racing towards the direction of the Peacock Demon King.
This battle dazzled Pretty Girl, leaving her spellbound. Without a doubt, such high-level conflicts were rare, even in the entirety of Demon Monster Land.
Strange auras caused fluctuations in the air, and robust energy waves flowed through it. Each powerful presence was filled with the incomparable force of Heaven and Earth. This clash between the two most powerful beings of their races represented the wildest peak of this plane.
The battlefield instantly shifted from the Jiali Mountains to the skies above Jiali City.
It was at this moment that Asura suddenly released the vines coiled around Pretty Girl\'s waist, let out a soft sigh, as if talking to himself, and said: "The Peacock Demon King cannot lose."
"Hm?" Pretty Girl looked at him with confusion.
At that moment, in the sky, the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor had reached the airspace above Jiali City, smashed into the vast expanse of silver light like a comet striking its target.
But in the next instant, it was as if the comet had shifted its position in thin air, appearing in the distant sky, as if teleported away into nothingness, leaving the Peacock Demon King utterly unharmed.
The ultimate in space teleportation, Heaven Shifting!
