Chapter 276 Kunpeng Finds Little Black
Charging fiercely toward Taibai was a giant, jet-black tiger, three zhang tall, its body constantly churning with thick demonic energy.
Despite the dramatic changes in its appearance, Taibai recognized it at a glance as the creature from the Wuyi Mountains, named Xiaotian.
Although it resembles a tiger, it never eats meat, has a gentle nature, and is extremely friendly to other creatures in the mountains.
In the hierarchy of Wuyishan, Xiao Hei ranks second, Qingmu ranks third, and Xiaotian is undoubtedly the fourth.
It is also a being personally certified by Taibai as having the potential to elevate its cultivation to the Golden Immortal realm.
However, at this moment, Taibai's divine sense swept over and found that Xiaotian's cultivation had actually broken through to the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm.
What's even more chilling is that the demonic energy and karma that entangled him were already deeply rooted, leaving almost no room for redemption.
Its cultivation progressed so rapidly, and the countless corpses and remains of creatures scattered throughout Wuyi Mountain are the most direct evidence of this.
Only through endless devouring could Xiaotian ascend to the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm in such a short time.
Xiaotian has now completely lost his mind and his most basic ability to think. His scarlet eyes are now filled with nothing but pure and insane bloodlust.
The demonic energy had long since eroded the depths of its soul, and its original consciousness had been completely erased.
Even if the purifying divine light of the twelfth-grade pure white lotus is pushed to its limit, it is still impossible to restore Xiaotian to his original appearance.
Therefore, all Taibai could do was send it into the cycle of reincarnation to help it be reborn.
Taibai moved swiftly, and the long sword in his sleeve was drawn, transforming into a sharp streak of light that slashed straight at Xiaotian.
Where the sword flashed, it carried a resolute killing intent and a deep-seated compassion.
Before Xiaotian could even let out a final roar, his massive body disintegrated in the sword light, turning into a cloud of black mist.
A phantom soul slowly emerged from it, its outline vaguely recognizable as the old tiger shape, but it was tightly wrapped by layers of demonic energy, constantly twisting and struggling.
Taking advantage of the situation, Taibai activated the Twelve-Petaled Pure White Lotus, and pure, flawless divine light of purification surged forth, cleansing Xiaotian's soul.
The moment the demonic energy touched the divine light, it hissed and dissipated.
Once the last trace of filth was cleansed away, Taibai unleashed another burst of pure magic power, transforming it into a lustrous protective shield that gently enveloped Xiaotian's pure soul.
"Go. May you find peace and freedom in your next life."
With the fall of the last living being in Wuyi Mountain, Li Bai's anger finally reached its peak.
This anger stemmed not only from the innocent deaths of countless lives, but also from the fact that his long-cultivated paradise had been destroyed, and everything had to start from scratch.
Looking around, the spiritual veins of Wuyi Mountain are severed, the vegetation is withered, the mountains and rivers are broken, and the landscape is devastated.
Such damage, even if it takes a thousand years, can only barely restore a little bit of vitality.
If we want to restore its former beauty and charm, it will probably be as difficult as climbing to heaven.
Suddenly, Taibai felt a pang of anxiety; Xiao Hei and Qingmu were still outside the mountain.
Since Kunpeng destroyed his dojo, his own mount and disciples are also very likely to suffer the same fate.
Without further hesitation, Taibai poured his magical power into the twelve-petaled Pure World White Lotus, causing the lotus platform to shine brightly and illuminate half of the sky.
He left behind a clone formed from magical power to guard the ruins of Wuyi Mountain, while his main body, following the faint connection of the master-servant contract, sped off towards the direction where Xiao Hei was, covering a thousand miles in an instant.
However, the situation developed exactly as Taibai had predicted.
After leaving Wuyi Mountain, Kunpeng did not flee far away. Instead, it changed direction and rushed towards Xiao Hei's location.
However, unlike Taibai, he could not directly perceive Xiaohei's existence through the contract, so he had to use calculation and divine sense to carefully search for Xiaohei's whereabouts.
Kunpeng's cultivation had already reached the Great Perfection of Quasi-Saint, and now that he had obtained part of the inheritance from the previous Demon Ancestor Rahu, his supernatural powers were even greater than before.
Even so, it still took him several days to accurately locate a small black creature in this vast world.
After some deduction and calculation, Kunpeng finally roughly determined the location of Xiaohei.
Without further delay, he transformed into a dark streak of light and chased after them at top speed.
Kunpeng's purpose on this trip was not to kill Xiao Hei directly.
He had other plans in mind: since Xiao Hei was Tai Bai's mount, if he could lure him into the demonic path and make him commit murder, then the karmic consequences would naturally affect Tai Bai as well.
Such a win-win situation is far more valuable than simply killing a mount.
Kunpeng acted extremely quickly. After a frantic search, he found Xiao Hei's aura in just three days and descended directly in front of him.
However, Kunpeng had been corrupted by demonic energy and its appearance had changed drastically. Although Xiao Hei had seen Kunpeng's original appearance before, he could not recognize the person in front of him.
However, Xiao Hei keenly sensed the ominous aura emanating from the other party, and alarm bells rang in his mind, preparing to retreat at any moment.
"Young friend, with me here, do you think you can leave?"
"This humble Taoist priest, Xiao Hei, pays his respects to Senior. May I ask what instructions Senior may have for me? If it is within my power, I will certainly do my utmost to assist you."
Upon hearing this, Kunpeng's lips curled into a mocking smile, and he retorted:
"I am a Quasi-Saint at the Great Perfection stage. Do you think... you can help me?"
Before he could finish speaking, Kunpeng was about to make a move to completely guide Xiao Hei into demonic possession with demonic energy.
At this moment, Taibai sent an urgent message through the master-servant contract, instructing Xiaohei to stall for time as much as possible.
Therefore, Xiao Hei was not in a hurry to escape, but instead asked Kunpeng:
"Even if you, senior, are going to punish me, you should at least let me die knowing why. May I ask who you are, senior? I don't think I've ever offended you."
Kunpeng offered no explanation. He simply raised his right hand as before, and a torrent of demonic energy surged from his sleeve.
Seeing this, Xiao Hei retreated rapidly, forcing out all the merit power within his body, which condensed into a golden wall of merit in front of him.
After Taibai explained, he realized that this demonic energy could not be blocked by ordinary defenses, and that only by using merit to counter it could there be a glimmer of hope.
When Kunpeng saw that Xiao Hei was using his merits to resist the demonic energy, a hint of amusement flashed in his eyes.
He then exerted his strength again, and the demonic energy surging from his sleeves became even more concentrated.
After only a short while, Xiao Hei felt that his merit was about to be exhausted. If he continued to hold on, it would only be a matter of time before he was corrupted by demonic energy.
In the midst of the crisis, he maintained the wall of merit to resist the demonic energy while revealing his true form and flying swiftly towards the direction where Taibai was.
Sensing that Xiao Hei was in danger, Taibai increased its speed again, transforming into a streak of light and rushing over.
"Boy, you think you can escape? In the entire primordial world, my speed is number one."
Kunpeng sneered, his figure moving like lightning, and in an instant he had caught up with Xiao Hei.
Just then, Xiao Hei felt relieved; Tai Bai had finally arrived.
"Kunpeng! You bastard! You destroyed my Wuyishan Taoist temple and killed the lives of my Wuyishan people. You are doomed to die!"
