Chapter 1174: Chapter 568: Crossing the Tribulation with Ease, Gaining a First-Grade Opportunity

"Within this prison world lies a hidden space portal that leads directly to the Kunpeng Nest."

"But how did that guy discover it?"

The soul exchange trick felt incredulous.

It noticed that Jiang Fan’s figure had already appeared within the true Kunpeng Nest.

A mere step away from itself.

To be honest, it was astonishingly fast.

Because the time the kid had spent in the Kunpeng Nest was not very long.

Yet, in a short period, he easily reached the depths of the real Kunpeng Nest.

It was truly outrageous, as it had no clue how this was possible.

"By the way, that kid has signed a contract with the Kunpeng."

"Their relationship must be quite intimate, and he might have long known the secrets of the Kunpeng Nest."

"That’s why he was able to easily reach the Northern Continent and find the Kunpeng Nest."

"If that’s the case, even if he comes here, it doesn’t matter, because he doesn’t know of my existence at all."

"I might even have a chance to trick this kid."

"With forethought on my side, this kid is bound to die, allowing me to catch them both in one fell swoop."

The soul exchange trick began to get excited.

It thought that this might not be a bad thing at all; instead, it was greatly beneficial to it.

Because this human cultivator coming here was practically courting death.

This also saved it a lot of time.

Once it eliminated this human and the Kunpeng cub, the Kunpeng Nest would be entirely owned by it.

Whoosh!

At this moment, Jiang Fan discovered he had traversed a space portal and suddenly found himself in an oceanic world.

As far as the eye could see, there was an endless ocean, with no end in sight.

In the center of the ocean, a massive palace was constructed.

Undoubtedly, this palace must be the dwelling place of the ancient Kunpeng.

This was a colossal palace made of black Divine Bone and Profound Ice, like a slumbering Ancient Giant Beast, lurking in the darkness of eternal night. The palace took the shape of a turtle, covering thousands of miles, resembling a mainland in the sea.

From above, the entire nest emitted a strange black-and-gold glow, starkly contrasting with the surrounding dark blue seawater.

"Finally arrived?"

Jiang Fan’s figure flashed, instantly appearing before the Kunpeng Palace.

He felt the terrifying oppressive force emanating from the palace, as if it were a living Kunpeng.

The entire palace was covered in densely packed restriction arrays, as if countless Immortal Patterns imprinted the void.

Once activated, it would unleash unimaginable destructive power.

At this moment, the entrance to the palace was already open.

Perhaps it was Little Kunpeng Ming who opened it, and it had not been closed since.

This saved him quite a bit of effort.

He sensed no significant danger and directly entered the Kunpeng Palace.

Inside there was a long corridor linking several auxiliary halls.

But Jiang Fan didn’t pay attention to these auxiliary halls and walked directly to the end of the corridor. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

The end of the corridor was the main hall of the Kunpeng Palace.

"Is this truly the real Kunpeng Nest?"

Upon entering the main hall, Jiang Fan curiously took in his surroundings.

A massive blood pool suddenly presented itself, like a beating heart, suspended in the center of the void.

The blood pool was crimson gold, like solidified magma or a heap of countless red rubies, emanating a black-red, sinister glow in the dark.

The surface glimmered but did not flow, like a giant blood diamond, with numerous runes flowing on its surface, forming a complex array map. Each pattern contained the ultimate principles of heaven and earth.

Scarlet mist rose from the pool, soaring towards the sky, coalescing into Kunpeng phantoms in the air, sometimes transforming into a Kun fish wagging its tail, sometimes into a Peng bird flapping its wings. Each transformation accompanied by a tremor in the heavens and the earth.

From the depths of the blood pool came waves of Dao sounds, like the roars of Kunpeng, the origin sound of Kunpeng’s divine powers, causing one’s primordial spirit to tremble and cultivation to advance.

If a cultivator of exceptional insight were present, they might even achieve immediate enlightenment.

At this moment, a gigantic beast lay across the center of the blood pool.

Its entire body was covered in dark black scales, each like a small mountain, reflecting a bluish metallic luster under the blood light.

The enormous body coiled within the blood pool, absorbing endless energy, surrounded by vortices of black and white energy, resembling a yin-yang fish.

With each breath, its aura seemed to strengthen.

As if continually enhancing the origin energy within its body.

Little Kunpeng Ming!

Without a doubt, the mysterious giant beast before him was Little Kunpeng Ming.

It must be said, returning to the Kunpeng Nest, Little Kunpeng indeed gained enormous benefits.

For this blood pool contains a vast amount of origin energy, imbued with countless ten-thousand-year-old spirit medicines.

This was a blood pool prepared by its father for Little Kunpeng, the value within is simply immeasurable.

However, at this moment, Little Kunpeng Ming had already fallen asleep, only relying on instinct, continually devouring the energy within the blood pool, yet even so, its aura and power continued to grow.

"Indeed, the Kunpeng Nest is truly extraordinary."

Jiang Fan continued to observe the surroundings.

The walls surrounding the entire main hall were constructed from interwoven black divine bone and ten thousand years of profound ice, the surface engraved with array maps of Kunpeng divine arts, each stroke flowing with mysterious energy, as if constructed from the laws of the void.

The dome was embedded with countless stars, asteroids picked by Kunpeng with great divine power, emitting faint starlight, forming a bizarre and magnificent spectacle, reflected upon the blood pool.

Around the blood pool, countless skeletons floated, from the Dragon Race, Phoenix Race, Qilin Race, and other ancient divine beasts, once the prey of Kunpeng, now adorning the nest.

The entire nest was suffused with an oppressive aura of blood and thunderbolt, a mix of Kunpeng’s killing aura and power of origin, making the souls of the weak vanish and the strong bow in reverence.

It must be said, this Kunpeng Nest is indeed terrifying.

If it were in its prime, he would have no right to enter here.

But it was not the time to tour the Kunpeng palace; he was here to deal with the soul-swapping demon.

Whoosh~~

A message penetrated the depths of his sea of consciousness.

"Destiny Guidance: You have finally arrived at the Kunpeng Palace, standing before the soul-swapping demon, which now hides inside Little Kunpeng’s body, biding its time to attack and devour your soul.

But this is a great opportunity for you; you can lead it into a trap and allow the soul-swapping demon to enter the Exquisite Tower, solving this bizarre creature effortlessly."

Perceiving this message, Jiang Fan’s heart trembled, finally arriving at the moment of decisive battle.

It seemed dealing with this bizarre creature was simple.

But without Destiny’s enhancement and foreknowledge of the soul-swapping demon’s every move,

facing this bizarre creature would not be so easy.

A slight mistake could result in death at its hands.

Even if it couldn’t kill him, he couldn’t do anything to it.

After all, this bizarre creature possesses an undying body; if it senses danger, it can escape instantly.

At that moment, finding it again would be nearly impossible.

Afterward, this bizarre creature may hide, bringing him immense calamity and trouble.

Swish!

Thinking of this, Jiang Fan remained expressionless, pretending not to know a thing, as he approached the blood pool.

Bang!

In the next second, a black light shot out from Little Kunpeng Ming’s body, silently and swiftly, at an unbelievable speed, which ordinary cultivators couldn’t even react to.

Without a doubt, this was the soul-swapping demon.

"Die."

Smugly, the soul-swapping demon planned to rush into this human cultivator’s body and instantly destroy his soul; an easy task for it.

Moreover, there weren’t many forces in this world capable of stopping its attack.

No matter how you look at it, this human cultivator was already a dead man.

"Wait, what is this?"

Suddenly, the soul-swapping demon was baffled.

It suddenly discovered a seven-layer treasure tower appearing on this human cultivator’s body, emanating seven-colored light, while releasing a vast domain, suppressing the surrounding space-time.

Before it could react, it felt its entire body being swallowed by this treasure tower.

"Damn it, I’ve fallen into a trap."

"This is a trap."

The soul-swapping demon’s face turned completely green.

Whoosh~~

At the moment the bizarre creature was imprisoned inside the Exquisite Tower, a message echoed from deep within Jiang Fan’s sea of consciousness: "You encountered a terrifying bizarre creature, but after a life-and-death struggle, you finally suppressed it within the Exquisite Tower, surviving a deadly tribulation, gaining a first-grade opportunity, with Luck Points of three hundred million."
