"Buzzing——"
The ancient nest, shifting between divine peng and great kun forms without pause, started to shake intensely, like the mighty Kunpeng letting out a roar that echoed the Great Dao itself.
Excitement gripped all the Nascent Soul cultivators as they gazed eagerly toward Lu Quanzhen and his companions.
Yet the nest's trembling appeared somewhat incomplete, and from the far-off throne, the Six Paths Demon Consort extended a pale, delicate hand as slender as fine jade, resembling a masterpiece of craftsmanship.
That hand possessed flawless beauty, adorned with a deep black ring on the thumb and a blood-red one on the index finger.
On the middle, ring, and pinky fingers rested items of bone or jade that looked like slender young serpents, lending an unsettling yet alluring charm to the elegant hand.
In that instant, the serpent-shaped guards on her fingers appeared to stir to life, emitting a hissing sound with a vivid red glow, before a thick mist of blood rushed swiftly at the demonic technique inheritors present.
Suddenly, Lu Quanzhen sensed an intrusion flooding into him, causing his Qi and Blood Magical Power to surge wildly out of control, as though some kind of Blood Burning Technique had been activated.
He turned his head, but Wugu Old Demon just snapped, "Aren't you focusing on your cultivation?"
Lu Quanzhen's expression darkened at once, quickly realizing that these Nascent Soul cultivators had applied a Demon Path secret technique to him.
Not just him—the other cultivators who had unlocked the ancient nest faced the exact same ordeal.
Even though he had foreseen something like this, the dehumanizing treatment still filled Lu Quanzhen with gloom and a sour expression.
As the ancient nest quaked with greater force, the Nascent Soul cultivators on site began to move, unleashing their divine abilities in an effort to force the nest open.
An hour passed.
"Roar!!!"
A massive Kunpeng silhouette within the ancient nest bellowed toward the heavens, its divine might sweeping over the skies and lands, forcing many present to shudder and even drop to their knees.
The sheer terror of this power overwhelmed even the Nascent Soul True Lords.
"What's going on? Is the Kunpeng still alive?"
One Nascent Soul cultivator uttered, voice quivering.
After eons had gone by, legends claimed the Kunpeng exceeded Nascent Soul level, but it should have perished long ago—why did such a fearsome presence linger?
If this Kunpeng lived on, and they dared invade its lair for treasures, wouldn't that spell certain doom?
Right then, the colossal Kunpeng image faded away, and with a deep rumble, the ancient nest's enormous entrance swung wide.
"Huh? What's this?!"
"I get it now—this is the true Kunpeng nest, infused with its Qi Mechanism, which summons a hint of the True Spirit's wondrous power."
Chaos erupted in a flash as everyone dashed toward the massive gateway.
Though these Nascent Soul cultivators had maintained their poised and haughty demeanor before, they now abandoned all restraint.
After all, just the remnant aura proved so daunting; surely the nest held chances to advance to Divinity Transformation.
Even without Divinity Transformation prospects, reaching Nascent Soul Late Stage would let them rule over the Starry Sky Sea and the whole Southern Wilderness Cultivation Realm!
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh——"
With the ancient nest's doors parting, a wave of exhaustion washed over Lu Quanzhen's frame.
Soon after, agony tore through every inch of him, which he knew stemmed from the backlash of that prior Demon Path secret technique.
"Damn it!"
His face drained of color as he clenched his teeth to bear it, eyeing the Nascent Soul cultivators streaming inside while scheming his getaway.
"My dear disciple, are you okay?"
But Shi Hai True Monarch appeared at his side in a blink, channeling immense mana into him to quell the stabbing torment.
"This stems from the secret technique's backlash; this pill will ease your suffering for now."
Shi Hai True Monarch popped a pill straight into Lu Quanzhen's mouth, then swept him along into the ancient nest.
Lu Quanzhen wasn't alone—all the demonic technique inheritors now resembled helpless fish awaiting the knife, dragged into the nest one by one.
Inside, pure and abundant Spiritual Energy filled the air, wrapped in fog like a paradise of immortals, stretching endlessly with faint morning glow illuminating trees, seats, vessels, and mats.
Still, a swarm of Nascent Soul cultivators seized these items without delay.
Given the Kunpeng's stature, such trees, chairs, and fine spirits were far from commonplace; their substances could match the Spiritual Treasures of certain Nascent Soul experts.
"Boom boom boom!!!"
A fierce clash erupted right away, with fearsome Nascent Soul Qi Mechanisms clashing and storming everywhere.
Even Shi Hai True Monarch's form got shrouded in a Qi as immense as towering peaks and endless oceans, radiating bone-chilling menace.
In the midst of this chaos, Lu Quanzhen had no choice but to stay clutched in Shi Hai True Monarch's grasp, afraid to stir and risk further harm from the lingering mana.
Yet all could tell this was just the opening skirmish, with no real fury unleashed; once something was grabbed, no one fought over it further.
The crowd plundered the ancient nest thoroughly, and only after a good while did an ancient altar materialize in the empty space before them.
The altar stood majestic and towering, akin to a colossal peak, heaving up and down.
"There it is!"
The Nascent Soul cultivators nearby surged straight for the altar.
Upon it, streams of radiant light and brilliant divine beams danced, suggesting piles of treasures and rare relics lay waiting.
But nobody charged in blindly.
Most there were Nascent Soul cultivators or Transformed Demon Kings, and having reached this level, none acted on foolish whims.
They noted how the altar fused seamlessly with the surrounding heaven and earth.
A single misstep could provoke deadly peril through grave offense!
"Boom!"
One person dispatched a puppet spirit beast ahead, yet the moment it neared the altar, an overwhelming force hurled it back.
"This force only blocks and pushes away, without true assault, showing the Kunpeng has long perished, leaving this legacy for those to come."
Another activated the Spiritual Eye Divine Ability to scan the altar's restrictions, then glanced at Lu Quanzhen and the fellow demonic technique inheritors, declaring: "Send up one who inherited the Kunpeng Demon Technique."
At those words, a cultivator versed in the Kunpeng Demon Technique got shoved forward right away, and with the technique active, the altar's power didn't repel them—they ascended smoothly.
