"Rumble... Endless
flame power and thunder intertwined. The originally sky-covering wings had now shrunk to nine feet nine. The shrunken Kunpeng wings were densely covered with runes, and endless fire and thunder flowed within them.
This was the refining method taught to Long Chen by a dragon clan expert. Originally, Long Chen wanted to use true dragon essence blood to control these wings, but the dragon clan expert said that like dragons, Kunpeng possesses a strong will and will not easily yield.
If things go wrong, these wings will self-destruct, so Long Chen was tasked with refining them with the power of fire and thunder. Both are natural forces, so the Kunpeng's will resist much less.
Using the power of thunder and fire to wear down Kunpeng's will is like boiling a frog in warm water—it only takes a little time.
Originally, Long Chen had placed the Kunpeng wings in the chaotic space, letting Huo Ling'er and Lei Ling'er slowly refine them. After all, Long Chen wasn't in a hurry to use them.
But after hearing Xia Guhong's words, Long Chen became more alert and ultimately decided to refine these wings first before leaving.
"Buzz buzz buzz... Inside
the Kunpeng's wings, divine radiance flickered, flames and thunder danced. The wings trembled continuously, and the roar of the Kunpeng could be faintly heard—it was the will of the Kunpeng resisting.
At this moment, Long Chen dared not press too hard. He ordered Huo Ling'er and Lei Ling'er to slow down and give it some breathing room; otherwise, if pushed too hard, it would show signs of self-destruction.
Once its emotions stabilized a bit, Huo Ling'er and Lei Ling'er continued refining. When it became agitated again, they gave it some breathing time.
In this way, the Kunpeng's will was gradually worn away, its original strength gradually drained, and its resistance weakened day by step.
After three full days, the will of the Kunpeng finally vanished. The wings were refined to perfection, as if forged from gold, radiating endless divine brilliance, dazzling to the eyes and carrying a sacred and solemn aura that made people afraid to look directly.
"The sacred power of the Kunpeng clan is actually this strong?" Long Chen couldn't help but ask in surprise.
"Of course, without divine power, how could the Kunpeng clan have the right to challenge our Dragon Clan?
Now that the Kunpeng will has been eroded, you infuse your soul power into those runes, and then I'll teach you how to control them. Hehe, let me tell you, many of the Kunpeng clan's ultimate moves are contained within these wings.
By mastering these wings, you will be like a tiger with wings, merging the divine powers of my Dragon Clan and Kunpeng. You, Long Chen, are the greatest of all time. The dragon clan expert said, and there was actually a hint of excitement in its voice.
"Senior, I possess your bloodline power and control the Kunpeng Divine Ability. You don't mind, do you?" Long Chen probed.
"Why should I care? You're not a descendant of my dragon clan, so you don't need to keep your bloodline pure. When the time comes, you can use the Kunpeng lineage's divine powers to kill members of the Kunpeng clan—that's what that would be satisfying.
Hmph, the appearance of the Ghost Fox Evil Dragon already bears the shadow of the Kunpeng clan. I've always suspected that the Kunpeng clan was behind the scenes, which led to the Ghost Fox Evil Dragon incident.
They can play tricks, but my proud Dragon Clan definitely wouldn't stoop to their level. Hehe..." the dragon clan expert chuckled.
Long Chen suddenly understood. So the dragon clan experts were using him to disgust the Kunpeng clan. But since Long Chen was human, this matter was not the dragon clan's fault. The dragon clan maintained their proud posture but managed to disgust the Kunpeng clan through Long Chen, just like when the Kunpeng clan used the ghost fox evil dragon to disgust the dragon clan back then.
Thinking of this, Long Chen laughed heartily, feeling completely free of burden, and began to slowly infuse his soul power into the runes.
"Kunpeng Splits the Sky Slash,"
"Kunpeng Breaks the Void,"
"Kunpeng Feathered Shield."
"Hahaha, Long Chen, you're really lucky! You actually awakened three primal runes inside these wings. At the Immortal King realm, you've awakened three primal divine abilities. Kuntu is a genius too." The dragon clan expert laughed heartily, his voice tinged with surprise.
There are countless runes here, but ninety-nine percent are acquired runes. Postnatal runes are generated later and passively enhance and strengthen the wings.
The most precious thing on the wings are innate runes, which form the foundation for the Kunpeng clan's strongest divine ability to continue. However, these runes are extremely precious; only Kunpeng with exceptional talent can produce them.
Kuntu is the original Kunpeng. His runes are not passed down through bloodline, but are generated by the laws of the Heavenly Dao.
Even runes cultivated postnatally are still innate runes. Kuntu awakened three types of innate runes while still at the Immortal King realm, which was extremely rare in the ancient era, so even the dragon clan experts were surprised.
Long Chen was also extremely excited. When his soul was infused into these runes, following the method taught by the dragon clan expert, he witnessed the terrifying power of these three techniques.
The first move, Kunpeng Sky-Splitting Slash, was performed by Kuntu. That strike tore through the sky, its power terrifyingly powerful.
The second move, Kunpeng Void Break, was never used by Kuntu, because it was a movement technique that could push speed to an extreme level. Kunpeng Void Break was awakened in the Three Thousand Worlds, and Kuntu hadn't even had time to adapt before being drawn to the commotion on Long Chen's side.
Later, due to the great battle, he had exhausted all his strength and simply had no strength to perform the Kunpeng Void-Breaking technique, so no one had ever seen this move.
The third move, the Kunpeng Feather Shield, was an absolute defensive stance. It was also awakened within the Three Thousand Worlds. Kuntu had used it before, but he hadn't used it yet. He only summoned an embryonic form and failed to unleash its true power, which is why Long Chen dealt him such a heavy blow.
"Hehe, I've struck it rich, really struck it rich."
Long Chen chuckled, full of excitement. The three moves he had learned in the Ancestral Dragon's Reverse Scale were all offensive, without movement or defense techniques. Now it was perfect—Kuntu had made up for it.
Long Chen has many offensive moves but few defensive moves. Often, he doesn't need them himself, but if someone around him gets into trouble, he'll panic because he doesn't have defensive ultimates, especially those with an extremely large area.
Now that this gap had been filled, Long Chen immediately felt more confident. He could attack or retreat if he could defend; if he couldn't win, he could still escape. Now, he had no worries about his rear.
Seven days later, Long Chen finally gained full control over all the runes on his wings. On each rune, he imprinted his own soul, as well as the soul imprints of Huo Ling'er and Lei Ling'er. This way, the pair of Kunpeng wings could be controlled by Huo Ling'er and Lei Ling'er.
"Buzz!"
Long Chen stood in the void, the pair of Kunpeng wings appearing behind him. The moment the wings merged with Long Chen's, a violent force swept across the heavens. Endless divine radiance flowed from the wings, radiating a radiance like the sun. The sacred aura made Long Chen look like a god descended from the heavens—sacred and inviolable.
"Hahaha, it's done, Qingxuan, here I come."
Long Chen laughed loudly toward the sky, his Kunpeng wings fluttered, and he vanished in an instant.
