Chapter 388 Ascent To The Heavens
Before Long Xian could look down, the heavens took this moment of weakness and struck. This time, the lightning that came down was colored.
Three different colors of lightning merged and struck Long Xian straight at the center of his face. Long Xian started falling down to the ground.
Before he could get crushed by this giant beast, Liu Feng moved to the side, avoiding the falling giant.
As Long Xian fell to the ground, the entire place shook. It was like an earth quake. The tremors were big enough for the surrounding area to get flattened.
This created a clearing right in the middle of the dense buildings of the Ding Family. A giant circle with Long Xian in the middle. A black dragon that fell from its graces.
Long Xian looked up at the heavens, wounded and in pain, his eyes flashing with fear and repentance. But there was also an undying conviction not to give up.
His ego and arrogance did not allow him to bend the knee. He would not ask the heavens for forgiveness.
"Do you think that I will sit still, taking all of this? Since you decided to strike me down, I will also smite you." Long Xian roared up at the skies.
His voice was loud enough for the surrounding mile to hear him as clear as day. But the mile radius was already cleared.
Liu Ling Tian knew better than to allow innocents to stay in the area where a black dragon would manifest. He made sure that no one was present in a three mile radius. The capital was slowly being evacuated because of the fight that had started here.
The only reason that the capital was doing this without a single question was because this was under the order of the father of the new king. Surely, they couldn't disobey the one who showed such a show of strength just two days ago.
Long Xian got up from the crater that he created for himself, and without dusting himself, flapped his wings.
With every flap of his wings, he rose dozens of meters into the air, and Liu Feng could see him slowly go out of reach.
There was a limit to how high Liu Feng could go up in the air. But arial creatures were different. They were born for the skies, and they weren't going against the heaven's laws when they flew up.
Liu Feng took a deep breath. With every passing second that he wasn't in battle, he was recovering vast amounts of Qi that he could use.
So he decided to.
His eyes started turning black, and his back started twisting. The next instant, his body completely metamorphose. He was a different creature now. He turned to his Kun Peng form once again.
And his wings unfurled. Although his body was small, when the wings unfurled, wing to wing, he was as big as the terrifying black dragon that was flying above him.
He flapped his wings, and the moment he did, instead of going up a few meters, he disappeared. That was the difference between a Kun Peng and a dragon.
While a dragon had scales all over, impervious skin, and a death like grip, a Kun Peng was fast. Scary fast.
With one flap, Liu Feng covered what Long Xian covered in the past few moments with such effort. The height that each monster could reach was already predestined. Some birds could only reach a certain height.
And after even a mythical monster reached its heights, it would be going against the heavens, and in that case, the heavens would not allow it to pass any further.
The ceiling of a dragon was not that high. It was higher than many mortal creatures, but among the mythical beasts of the air, it wasn't that great.
And at the same time that Long Xian was reaching his limit, a beast appeared to the side. He knew exactly what monster this was.
"A Kun Peng? In the Realm Of Beginnings? Impossible! The conditions for a Kun Peng to appear, it would need a dragon's gate!" Long Xian was distracted from his current goal as he looked at the monster that appeared next to him.
Liu Feng's inhuman face smiled.
He split from Long Xian, creating some distance between him and Long Xian.
At that exact moment, the clouds above gave another sound. This time, the lightning that struck Long Xian was that of four colors.
When Long Xian was struck, he spat out blood. For the first time, Liu Feng saw Long Xian actually show a major sign of injury. The lightning that the heavens above were giving were quite strong.
Strong enough to damage the scales and innards of a dragon.
But with each attack, Liu Feng could feel the space around him grow weaker. It was like the laws of space around him were being tampered with. They were losing their strength.
But Liu Feng couldn't care about that. Another attack of the heavens came and went, and this time, Long Xian didn't budge. Even though the attack that came from the heavens was stronger, he still continued his ascent.
And even as he was injured, his aura continued climbing.
"He still hasn't unleashed his full power! If he does, then this world might not be able to handle it!" Liu Feng realized.
Before Long Xian did something stupid, Liu Feng decided to intervene. He disappeared, his speed much more terrifying than what he showed before.
In the peak of the soul evolution stage now, he could reach much higher peak speeds, and that was what he used.
He appeared under the belly of Long Xian, staring straight at the wound that he had created.
Long Xian seemed to sense that someone appeared at that area, and he tried to swat away Liu Feng.
But he wasn't fast enough. Liu Feng's hand, or rather, claw shot forward scratching the wound even further before Liu Feng retreated.
