I Collect Skill Fragments in the Demon World

Chapter 774 408: The Immortal Dug Out from the 33 Heavens

The more Zhang Chen rambled about the Innate Peacock, the more he felt this creature was unreliable, utterly unreliable. Promised ten years, and how many years has it been now?

Zhang Chen wasn't a fool. He now realized something was amiss outside. The ten ancient masters had been tricked to death by him, and the demon race took the opportunity to invade massively, seizing the territories and foundations of the ten ancient masters, ironically making things easier for the Ancestral Master of Longevity.

As long as the Ancestral Master of Longevity defeated the three Great Demon Kings, he could not only effortlessly collect the territories of the ten masters but also incorporate the demon race's turf as a bonus, effectively amassing vast destiny all at once and achieving the Dao in one leap.

At present, one of the three Great Demon Saints had already been executed. If the Ancestral Master of Longevity secretly killed another one, leaving only one Demon Saint, how could that be a match for the Ancestral Master of Longevity?

Looking at the Easter egg in front of him, then at the situation outside, Zhang Chen saw the Ancestral Master of Longevity holding a duster in his hand, attacking the two Demon Saints in the clouds. In an instant, the two sides were locked in battle, with destructive energy shooting out from the clouds. Each Great Demon King drew an iron rod, clashing back and forth with the Master in the clouds.

At this time, Zhang Chen stood inside the Nine Bends Yellow River Array, using the Qi Mechanism of the array to conceal himself. He opened his Dharma Eye, peering into the clouds, seeing three energy masses battling back and forth like common mortals competing with skills.

"My True God Golden Light level is really too low; I can't see through the forms in the clouds, just vague outlines," Zhang Chen muttered.

Both sides traded blows back and forth, and the Master did not draw out the Immortal Slaying Sword this time, relying on his martial arts instead to fight the two Great Demon Saints.

Just as Zhang Chen was growing anxious, he suddenly heard a cracking sound beside him. Turning his head, he saw numerous fine cracks appear on the egg shell. The next moment, the shell shattered, and a peacock shimmering with five colored lights appeared in his sight.

As soon as the Innate Peacock opened its mouth, it swallowed all the broken eggshells. Before Zhang Chen could react, the Innate Peacock twisted and transformed into a human shape.

Its appearance was like a young girl of sixteen or eighteen, exquisitely beautiful yet without lacking masculinity, like a creation of the Creator, a physique indistinct in gender.

"What are you rambling about on the side?" the Innate Peacock scolded Zhang Chen irritably. With its rebirth complete, its wings grew hard, daring to talk loudly to Zhang Chen.

"You unreliable thing, do you know how much time and opportunity you've delayed? If you were any later, you might as well have come to collect my corpse," Zhang Chen retorted firmly, not afraid of the Innate Peacock, knowing its soul was in his grasp, he could not be outdone by it.

The Innate Peacock glanced at Zhang Chen, a glimmer of fierceness in its eyes, but recalling Zhang Chen's difficult and terrifying nature, it sighed helplessly and turned to the high-altitude battlefield: "Don't worry, when the three of them decide the outcome, I'll go collect their bodies."

Seeing the Innate Peacock had emerged, Zhang Chen wasn't in a hurry: "That sword in the Ancestral Master of Longevity's hand is extremely powerful, can you handle it?"

"Give me the Innate Five Elements Treasure at Great Success, and I only need a chance to take the sword. Without the Immortal Slaying Sword, that little Daoist is hopeless," the Innate Peacock said confidently.

However, upon saying this, it seemed to remember something, then inquired, "I say, kid, that Heaven and Earth Treasure Mirror..."

"It's in my hand! There won't be any issues," Zhang Chen, knowing what the Innate Peacock wanted to say, replied. As he spoke, Zhang Chen handed over five Innate Feathers to the Innate Peacock. The Innate Peacock took the feathers, a hint of depression in its eyes. These were treasures it had nurtured, yet they no longer belonged to it. Needing to borrow them for use, how ridiculous was that?

Putting away the feathers, the Innate Peacock nodded with satisfaction: "Watch closely."

While speaking, the Innate Peacock wanted to secretly refine the Innate Feathers but no matter how it activated the incantations, it couldn't affect the feathers one bit, so it could only stand gloomily in the array, watching the battlefield.

Zhang Chen chuckled dryly at this, subtly shifting the subject, pointing to the battlefield above, and asked, "Who do you reckon will win?"

The Innate Peacock pretended to stroke its chin, secretly contemplating why it lost connection with and couldn't even refine its vital feathers, then casually responded to Zhang Chen's query: "By common reckoning, those two Demon Saints are stronger, but many things can't be assessed by common sense. That Longevity Thief Dao is despicable, extremely vile, and filthy, afraid those two beasts can't cope with the Longevity Thief Dao, but will be schemed against instead."

As the conversation continued, the situation on the battlefield above changed, the two Great Demon Saints and the Ancestral Master of Longevity distanced themselves, the Ox Head Great Saint holding a black jade ring. It clasped and chanted, then casually tossed it towards Longevity, and the black jade ring grew in the wind, becoming about a meter wide, spinning rapidly. The Immortal Slaying Sword in the Ancestral Master's hand was seized by the ring.

Not allowing time to react, the next moment, the Great Saint with a Rhino Head produced a white jade ring, tossed it swiftly, and before a breath could pass, it crossed the void to Longevity, striking him in the head before he could respond, causing a sky-turning sensation and he collapsed to the ground.

"Done!" the Innate Peacock suddenly said.

"The Ancestral Master of Longevity is done just like that?" Zhang Chen couldn't believe his eyes.

"I mean those two Great Demon Saints are done for; they've probably met their ends here. Longevity, that treacherous cur, is using deception, feigning to be hit," the Innate Peacock said.

Zhang Chen was about to speak when out of the Ox Head Demon Saint's hand a beam of Golden Light shot straight at the Ancestral Master of Longevity, severing his body in half and spilling blood over the sky.

Zhang Chen looked at the Innate Peacock, and though he didn't speak, his glance clearly asked: "Can you do anything? Longevity didn't even manage to use the Immortal Slaying Sword before falling here, what kind of judgment is that?"

"It's not that simple! Longevity isn't an easy one to kill! How could he die so easily?" the Innate Peacock insisted, "That's a Substitute Death Technique!"
