Chapter 541 True Martial Descends, Giant Kun Spreads Its Wings

The Giant Kun clan is a native species of the Northern Sea, and has always been known for its enormous size.

Before the fall of the Longbo Kingdom, the giant Kun was the only creature that could overwhelm its opponent in terms of size.

Thanks to their enormous size, the giant Kun has almost no natural enemies in this world. The only thing that can restrain them is their weak reproductive ability.

Perhaps it is precisely because it has no natural enemies that the giant Kun has never evolved to have intelligence comparable to that of the Longbo giant.

Before the Dao Ancestor restored order to the universe, the giant Kun was merely a savage race, a group of wild beasts that could not even control their natural instincts.

However, this situation changed after the birth of "Zhuang Zhou".

Zhuang Zhou was the first intelligent individual born from the giant Kun race. He was born with wisdom that reached the heavens and the earth and the ability to command ghosts and gods.

Especially after the night of the Emperor's Dew, Zhuangzi enlightened all the giant Kun.

The giant Kun couldn't describe what it felt like; it only knew that it had become different after that night.

Having been aimlessly swimming in the Northern Sea, I have actually learned to think and have begun to seriously observe other creatures in the water.

However, the changes brought about by Zhuangzi were not limited to this.

After the Emperor's Dew, Zhuangzi gathered the giant Kun, who was used to being alone, and taught them language, writing, and the methods of cultivation.

Needless to say, the cultivation methods further enhanced the power of the giant Kun.

As for the birth of language and writing systems?

However, it is not simply imitating humans and other intelligent species, but rather completely derived from the racial characteristics of the giant Kun.

Thanks to this, the giant Kun creatures developed a basic concept of race and collective.

During their hibernation periods, the consciousness of the giant Kun would enter a collective dream constructed by the species.

That is the subconscious sea of ​​the giant Kun, and also the original Great Free Heaven.

At that time, there were no demon kings in the Great Free Heaven, only these ignorant giant Kun consciousnesses.

But one day, everything changed.

First, Zhuang Zhou's sudden death caused the overall dream to begin to dissipate.

Immediately afterwards, a demon calling himself "Bo Xun" appeared in these scattered dreams, and intended to erode and assimilate the giant Kun in the real world.

This led to the giant Kun's behavior becoming abnormal and their consciousness beginning to decline.

Fortunately, Zhuang Zhou seemed to have anticipated this, and his prepared countermeasures immediately repelled Mara, the Heavenly Demon.

This led to the scene Xi Luo had witnessed earlier—a group of giant Kun swimming aimlessly in the Northern Sea until the birth of the Primordial Heavenly Demon awakened them.

"The Primordial Heavenly Demon?"

When Xi Luo learned of this title from the giant Kun, she didn't react at all.

Shang Yang immediately lowered his head and looked at the bewildered dragon turtle.

Obviously, the dragon turtle did not recognize this so-called "Primordial Heavenly Demon".

In the timelines that the dragon turtle experienced, he only knew that after Laozi and Zhuangzi failed to attain enlightenment, a calamity called "Heavenly Demon" would be born.

He had only just heard of the name "Bo Xun" now.

After all, the Heavenly Demon has always been known for its secrecy and unpredictability.

Many times, you may not even see His face before the catastrophe He brings sweeps across the world.

"It seems that the Primordial Heavenly Demon is a 'specialty' of this era?"

Looking down at the dragon turtle as well, Xi Luo's words sent a chill down the other's spine.

"Don't look at me like that. I'm just too lazy to think. I'm not really stupid."

Rolling her eyes in annoyance, Xi Luo said this to Shang Yang.

"All the information you know, it was actually told to you by this dragon turtle, wasn't it?"

After saying this, Xi Luo deliberately stomped on the dragon turtle. "Dragon head, snake tail, carrying the Eight Trigrams on your back—are you a disciple or grand-disciple of Li Boyang?"

"What's your name?"

"I'm asking what you'll be called in the future."

With an undisguised wry smile on its face, the dragon turtle, recovering from its astonishment, answered.

“My name is Zhenwu, but you can also call me Xuanwu.”

“I am a disciple of the Primordial Heavenly King, and this tortoise-snake body is not my true form.”

“The difference between the Primordial Heavenly Demon and the Primordial Heavenly King is only one character. I suspect that… He may be the incarnation of my master in this era.”

North of the North Sea lies the northernmost point of the North Pole.

This is the northernmost point of Beihai, and also one of the extreme points of heaven in this mythological era.

No living thing can survive in this place for long, and even the gods instinctively despise this desolate place.

If the idiom "天涯海角" (tiān yá hǎi jiǎo) has a concrete meaning.

Then this is undoubtedly the ends of the earth.

Even Lu Huaijin, who possessed the supernatural power of "Transformation into Steel," felt a suffocating chill when he stepped into this place.

Realizing that the cold here was enough to freeze steel, Lu Huaijin immediately changed his form.

call!
As a gust of north wind swept in, Lu Huaijin suddenly transformed into a gust of cold wind.

Undeterred by the freezing cold, the icy wind roamed freely over the polar regions, as if searching for something.

Soon, Lu Huaijin found his destination.

It was a giant Kun, far exceeding the size of its kind, with its two fins even showing a tendency to transform into wings.

If you look down from high above, you'll see that the surface of those two large fins has taken root and grown structures that resemble scales and feathers.

Unfortunately, this giant Kun, which was undergoing some kind of transformation, seemed to have lost its vitality.

The enormous body was buried in the extremely cold, permafrost soil, and even the lifelike struggle at the moment of death was clearly visible and vivid.

call!
A cold wind swept across the land, and visible ice and snow began to gather.

Lu Huaijin once again used the [Fetal Transformation] supernatural power to reorganize his body into an ice and snow structure.

"Is this the body you had when you were alive?"

With her hair and eyebrows all white, resembling a snow maiden, Lu Huaijin asked in a low voice.

Don't use terms like "before death," your apprentice isn't dead yet!

With a hint of helplessness, Zhuang Zhou's voice echoed in Lu Huaijin's heart.

I left my body in this permafrost to prevent it from being destroyed.

If you unseal it and let me return to this body, I can come back to life.

Upon hearing Zhuang Zhou's words, Lu Huaijin merely raised an eyebrow without making a sound.

"The relatives you promised me have already been taken away by the Mountain Goddess. Why should I help you?"

With just a simple question, Lu Huaijin successfully left Zhuang Zhou speechless.

Don't you want to get rid of me?

With a slight upturn of his lips, Lu Huaijin simply smiled faintly.

“If there isn’t enough compensation, I wouldn’t mind having another personality.”
