Chapter 272: A Startling Change

Chapter 272: A Startling Change

"Anomalies likely exist outside ancient sect ruins as well."

Li Fan made the most reasonable inference.

"Throughout the Xuanhuang Realm, there have been scattered incidents of anomalous attacks on people."

"The human-faced fruits, Heart Monkeys, and Intent Horses may all be products of these anomalies."

Judging by the Heavenly Secrets Hall's behavior, it seemed that anomalies were kept under strict surveillance at all times.

Presumably, the same was true for the Five Elders Association.

...

Li Fan thought for a moment, shaking his head inwardly, "It's good to know about this, but it's not my concern as a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator."

"Compared to anomalies, the powerful figures of the Xuanhuang Realm are even more frightening."

The association of the Intent Horse to the possible existence of anomalies in the Xuanhuang Realm was just a minor incident.

Soon, Li Fan put it behind him.

Following Zhang Zhiliang's instructions, while cultivating quietly in the Tianxuan Mirror, Li Fan absorbed the power of the Intent Horse, strengthening his own soul.

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, half a year had passed.

At the bottom of the Cong Yun Sea, Ye Feipeng, who had been sleeping all this time, finally began to slowly awaken.

A loud and distant whale cry echoed from the depths of the sea.

It continuously spread to the surrounding sea areas.

Countless marine creatures, upon hearing this sound, trembled as if they had encountered a natural enemy, shivering and unable to move, instantly losing their resistance.

Above Ye Feipeng's head, the phantom of a whale monster appeared along with the sound.

The monster opened its huge mouth, as if starving for a long time, and suddenly sucked in.

A huge vortex was thus created.

The surging seawater, along with countless unfortunate marine creatures, was swallowed into the monster's mouth.

After a long time like this, the whale finally felt full after swallowing a vast amount of seawater.

Letting out a satisfied high-pitched cry, it raised its huge tail high and suddenly slapped downwards.

The giant whale then re-entered Ye Feipeng's body.

After that, Ye Feipeng's eyes twitched slightly, gradually waking up.

First, he froze in place, looking around at the environment he was in, feeling a bit bewildered.

Gradually, scenes flashed in his mind one after another.

He gradually became aware of what had happened to him before he fell into a coma and during the coma.

Subconsciously, Ye Feipeng touched his belly and muttered to himself, "I'm truly a fortuitous man with a heavenly destiny. Not only did I survive a great calamity, but I also awakened the bloodline of the ancient beast Kun Peng."

His gaze flashed, looking towards a huge rock not far away on the seabed.

Behind him were two bulging masses on his back, rising high.

With the initial transformation, Ye Feipeng seemed to be in some pain.

His face twisted in agony, veins like gnarled dragons constantly roaming beneath his skin.

"Ah!"

With a furious roar, two brown feathered wings extended from behind Ye Feipeng.

At the center of his eyebrows, a soaring Kun Peng image simultaneously appeared.

The transformation consumed a tremendous amount of energy, and the fatty gasped heavily as he recovered.

After resting for a moment, he stood up proudly.

The wings on his back flickered slightly.

His figure turned into a thin line, and in the blink of an eye, Ye Feipeng appeared more than ten miles away.

It was several times faster than the speed he had always been proud of!

"Kun Peng rides the wind and swims ten thousand miles in a day."

"I can still be faster!"

Ye Feipeng's heart moved, and the Green Wind True Intent within his dantian surged instantly.

Around the brown wings, faint traces of green light appeared.

After another test, Ye Feipeng found that the Green Wind and Kun Peng transformation synergized: their combined effect was greater than the sum of its parts.

His flight speed doubled more than twice!

"Speed is strength! With my speed and the strengthened flesh enhanced by the Kun Peng Essence Blood, ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators wouldn't be able to withstand my blows..."

Thinking like this, Ye Feipeng erupted with all his speed and rushed towards an underwater mountain range below.

A streak of light flashed by, and the mountains collapsed.

He stirred up turbid seawater currents.

Unsatisfied, Ye Feipeng continued his momentum and rushed towards the distance.

A deep and long trench was carved out on the seabed.

Only after his strength was exhausted did he finally stop his destructive behavior.

Opening his large mouth wide, he swallowed the surrounding seawater once again.

Not long after, Ye Feipeng became lively and energetic again.

"If I had this speed back then, I wouldn't have been caught by Zhang Zhiliang."

He sighed inwardly.

Recalling the scene back then, the fatty's complexion couldn't help but darken.

T/N: a Kun Peng is basically a whale that can transform into a bird. Roughly, Kun translates to whale, and Peng translates to bird, except their corresponding Chinese mythical variants.
