Chapter 1258: Chapter 1257: True Feather Fan of the Five-Colored Peacock

Who is truly arrogant and domineering? It was clearly displayed in the battle between Ye Tianchen and the Iron Fan Young Master. Ye Tianchen had never shown weakness, but the Iron Fan Young Master’s arrogance was inherent, as Ye Tianchen had long realized. This person had some combat power, his cultivation was profound, and his arrogance was ingrained. He believed that no one was his match, and whenever he spoke, others had to comply and do as he said. This was true arrogance and domination, which was the Iron Fan Young Master’s nature.

”Hmph, killing you is as easy as squashing an ant. Anyone who defies my words has only one path—death!” The Iron Fan Young Master snorted coldly, and the True Dragon conjured by his hands tightly trapped Ye Tianchen, exuding immense power.

Ye Tianchen frowned as well; even though he had already unleashed the ”Vajra Invulnerability Divine Skill,” he still felt as though two Iron Mountains had surrounded him, making it hard to move. It’s undeniable that the Iron Fan Young Master had some strength and should not be underestimated. However, Ye Tianchen was not fearful; he always carried the belief of invincibility, and the stronger his opponent, the more his War Blood would boil. He longed for stronger opponents to hone himself in the fiercest battles!

”So domineering, so arrogant, really think you’re invincible in the world, really think anyone should respect your every word and action. Your arrogance is ingrained!” Ye Tianchen said coldly as he looked at the Iron Fan Young Master.

”So what if I am? You are now caught by me, your life and death under my control. I am just that arrogant, just that inherently domineering. What can you do to me?” the Iron Fan Young Master laughed arrogantly, a rare display of his true nature.

Huo Xianer, Pangu Yun, and Jing Wuhuan were all stunned, mainly because they had not expected this seemingly humble and steady Iron Fan Young Master to be so arrogant and domineering, with conceit ingrained in his bones. He believed that everyone should follow his every word and deed, almost like a supreme ruler. How conceited must he be? Although they had come together from different heritages for a common goal, even in a cooperative relationship, who could truly trust whom? When a treasure appeared, it might immediately lead to life-and-death confrontation; this was something everyone understood. Yet, along the way, the Iron Fan Young Master had always shown composure and humility, which turned out to be a facade. In truth, he was incomparably arrogant, wishing that everyone present would not dare to defy him in the slightest.

”I just want to remove that arrogant bone of yours!” Ye Tianchen said coldly.

”Can you? You are already captured by me; with just a squeeze of my hands, you’ll be a pile of minced meat, and yet you dare to act arrogant with me, not knowing life from death!” the Iron Fan Young Master said fiercely.

”Then why don’t you try to squeeze me and see if I’m that easy to crush...” Ye Tianchen said calmly.

The Iron Fan Young Master frowned, unsure where Ye Tianchen’s confidence came from. Even after being captured by him, with his movements restricted, he still dared to provoke. He then stimulated powerful Martial Arts True Power, with two arms akin to True Dragons continuously pressing toward the center, even causing the air to crackle. This force was mighty, causing Huo Xianer and the others to frown, realizing that not only was the Iron Fan Young Master’s arrogant nature deeply hidden, but his cultivation as well. This realization caused Huo Xianer, Pangu Yun, and Jing Wuhuan’s hearts to turn cold, believing that perhaps from the moment the four powerful heritages chose to cooperate, the Iron Fan Young Master had hidden deeply. If they found a rare treasure, he might immediately attack and kill the other three, being utterly despicable and hypocritical.

Buzz!

Suddenly, Ye Tianchen’s entire body erupted, not only flashing with golden light but also unleashing a powerful Physical Body Power. He forcefully shattered the True Dragons conjured by the Iron Fan Young Master’s hands, and a flash of silver light appeared. Using his Physical Body Power, Ye Tianchen condensed it into a Silver Snake, pouncing toward the Iron Fan Young Master.

This was Ye Tianchen’s new understanding of Physical Body Power, another way to utilize it. After consuming a large quantity of Silver Snake Meat, Ye Tianchen absorbed much of its essence energy, feeling that within the essence of the Silver Snake Meat, there were traces of the Silver Snake species’ fragmented imprints that could perhaps transform and be used as an attack means. This also led Ye Tianchen to find another path in physical cultivation, utilizing this supernatural ability to unleash greater might of Physical Body Power.

Sure enough, when Ye Tianchen’s Physical Body Power combined with the essence power within the Silver Snake species’ blood and flesh, imprinting the most instinctive Attack Power of the Silver Snake species, it shook heaven and earth, launching an assault on the Iron Fan Young Master.

”Tricks of the trade—watch as I shock kill you!” the Iron Fan Young Master, after a moment of surprise, still said confidently and loudly.

Swish!

He attacked. The Iron Fan Young Master employed the Iron Fan in his hand. Although Ye Tianchen had already detected that the Iron Fan Young Master’s Iron Fan was certainly a Treasure with considerable power, he didn’t expect it to be so formidable. When the Iron Fan Young Master swiftly maneuvered and wielded the Iron Fan in his hand, a mighty force that seemed to tear the heavens and the earth unfolded. A Peacock transformed from within the Iron Fan, colliding with the Silver Snake formed by Ye Tianchen’s Physical Body Power.

Bangdong!

A muffled sound echoed, and Ye Tianchen’s physical body power, condensed into the Silver Snake, was already destroyed. He frowned slightly, realizing that his use of this alternative physical power, attempting to harness the marks within the powerful Demon Beasts and Ancient Alien Race’s flesh to display part of these species’ power, was still too superficial, far from enough. He needed more experience and comprehension. However, Ye Tianchen couldn’t think much about it, for the peacock conjured by the Iron Fan Duke’s iron fan had shattered the Silver Snake and was directly charging towards him.

”Be careful, this is the iron fan refined with the True Feathers of a Five-Colored Peacock. It’s incredibly powerful. The Five-Colored Peacock is the progeny of the Vermilion Bird, possessing half of the Vermilion Bird’s bloodline inheritance; it should not be underestimated!”

At this moment, Ye Tianchen heard a voice, surprisingly Huo Xianer secretly transmitting to him, making him feel somewhat surprised. He immediately glanced at Huo Xianer but remained expressionless, retreating while questioning hesitantly through transmission: ”Fat girl, did the sun rise in the west today? Are you trying to help me or hurt me?”

”Hmph, fat Taoist, I’m not trying to help you, I simply despise this deeply hidden despicable person and don’t want him to defeat you!” Huo Xianer replied with annoyance through transmission.

”Got it, don’t worry, this guy won’t beat me, because I’m the righteous one, and he’s the villain!” Ye Tianchen chuckled, responding to Huo Xianer through transmission.

”Focus on how to deal with the iron fan in his hand. It includes a True Feather of a Five-Colored Peacock, unimaginable in strength, capable of destroying a mountain range with a single swipe!” Huo Xianer said, unwilling to spar verbally with Ye Tianchen.

At this moment, Pangu Yun and Jing Wuhuan also understood that the iron fan in Iron Fan Duke’s hand was extraordinary, possessing such mighty divine power.

”Legend has it that the ancestor of the Tie family was an Ancient Saint, with skills reaching the heavens, once fighting against an adult Five-Colored Peacock and ultimately injuring it to flee. I didn’t expect it to be true, and this Ancient Saint even obtained a True Feather from the Five-Colored Peacock, which was refined into the iron fan, unleashing the peacock’s formidable power!” Pangu Yun couldn’t help but say.

”True Feather, it’s the most divine feather of a mythical bird, emerging only after adulthood. If this feather is plucked, the mythical bird’s cultivation will plummet, even leading to its demise, as it represents its life essence energy. Not every powerful mythical bird has a True Feather; only offspring inheriting the strongest bloodline of Immortal Beasts have such a chance. Thus, obtaining a True Feather from such a mighty mythical bird is truly gaining a treasure!” Jing Wuhuan also said.

”The Tie family has been passed down for many years, its ancestor being an Ancient Saint, naturally possessing tremendous skill. I’ve heard that even if the mythical bird is overwhelmed and severely wounded by a strong opponent, at a critical moment, it would burn its own True Feather instead of letting outsiders get it. Yet, who would have thought the Tie family’s ancestor obtained it!” Pangu Yun remarked in surprise.

Ye Tianchen looked at the charging Five-Colored Peacock, merely a manifestation of divine power. He dared not underestimate it and promptly raised his physical body power to the limit, clenching his fists tightly. He intended to use the ”Overlord Fist.” The Five-Colored Peacock was ferocious, known to be man-eaters in ancient times. To deal with such a brutal creature, one must counter it with even more brutal Martial Arts Divine Skill, Ye Tianchen concluded.

”This Five-Colored Peacock isn’t bad. If I could really kill and consume it, it’d surely be better than Silver Snake meat!” Ye Tianchen said calmly.

”Such boastful words, a mere Loose Cultivator dares to be so arrogant. Our Tie family’s ancestor was an Ancient Saint, renowned throughout the world; who dares to compete?” Iron Fan Duke showcased his arrogance, expressing it fully.

Indeed, the realm of an Ancient Saint far exceeds the peak realm of Late Stage Martial Saint. It’s a unique form of ”Tao,” with only a few capable of reaching that stage, gifted individuals, especially in eras spanning millions of years without the emergence of Emperor Realm figures. Saints could wield power over the whole world, unmatched, certainly worthy of pride!

”So what? Even if your Tie family produced Supreme Emperors, they aren’t you!”

Ye Tianchen shouted, making his move, his fists continuously striking out, intending to shatter the peacock charging at him, stunning everyone present. Is he really going to confront the mythical bird head-on? (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, welcome to Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets.
