I Am Really Not The Son of Providence

Chapter 215: This Peacock Is Indeed Not A Good Bird!

Despicable Divine Firmament Saint! How dare he treat me like this!

Jin Yu was wearing a ratty, old armor picked up from the inner regions of the Primordial Battlefield. His face was full of embarrassed anger.

He was the prodigy of the Southern Border’s Eagle race. He had always been regarded as one of the top birds, highly respected wherever he went.

He had flown all the way to Eastern Wilderness from the Southern Border to help his people seek vengeance but had ended up being shamed by Shen Tian.

More importantly, Kong Meng had witnessed the entire process.

Jin Yu’s proud heart was unable to accept this. He was nearing the brink of a mental collapse.

“Despicable. Shen Tian, you have gone too far!” Jin Yu gnashed his teeth as he exuded a golden aura all over. “One day, I will have you down on the ground beneath my feet!”

Just as Jin Yu was thinking about this, his expression suddenly shifted. He gazed at the other end of the Blood Demon Valley with a serious expression.

He could feel that something was not right!

An intense fear gradually crept over his heart. He could feel that something dirty and unnatural was hidden somewhere in the Blood Demon Valley.

His golden aura became even brighter as he braced himself. He was not in a good state to face any attack!

Jin Yu suddenly turned and fled.

His wings flapped wildly as he flew back along the borders of the Blood Demon Valley. This was because Jin Yu had spied a several-meter tall Blood Demon, blocking his way in front.

The aura of this Blood Demon was as strong as the previous one killed by Jin Yu and his four feathered companions. In other words, this demon had Nascent Soul battle prowess!

It must be pointed out that in the Primordial Battlefield, the cultivation levels of all living beings from the outside would be suppressed to the Golden Core level and below.

Even if Jin Yu was in peak form, he would never be able to defeat this Blood Demon on his own. He would probably be sucked dry instead.

Moreover, Jin Yu was now heavily injured.

If he really had to go head-on against this Blood Demon, he probably wouldn’t even get the chance to flee.

Jin Yu knew that things were not looking good for him. When one was down on their luck, truly nothing would go their way.

He had not encountered a single Nascent Soul creature during all his previous Primordial Battlefield trials. How did he end up meeting two this time?

All he could now was to return to the Primordial Battlefield’s inner regions before thinking of a way to escape.

Jin Yu flapped his wings for all he was forth, flying in the opposite direction.

But just as he was about to escape the first Blood Demon, a second one appeared before him. It was also several meters tall and exuded the same powerful aura. It just stood there blocking Jin Yu’s way before swiping one huge palm toward him.

As the Blood Demon’s palm came toward him, Jin Yu felt like all the air around him was being sucked in by an invisible force. It was very difficult for him to move freely and dodge.

One Blood Demon in front of him. Another Blood Demon behind him. Meanwhile, the valley blocked his two sides. It was enough to make him fall into despair!

A sharp glint surfaced in his eyes. Using his wings like a blade, he suddenly struck out at the Blood Demon’s palm.

“Golden Wings’ Nine Slash, The First Slash—Slash Through Mountains And Rivers!”

Like the intense rays of the blazing sun, a dazzling golden light collided with the sticky, bloodied surface and... was submerged.

“Ahhh!”

Jin Yu squawked tragically as he was flattened on the ground by that palm. With that blow, he reverted back to his original form, his mouth twitching and frothing.

Meanwhile, the first Blood Demon caught up from behind and picked Jin Yu up by his wings, as if he was a little chick.

“Let go of me! Let go of me!

“Idiot, kill me if you want. Don’t touch my armpits!

“So ticklish! So ticklish! Take your filthy, sticky hands away from me!

“What crime have I committed? That I have to die in the hands of such a disgusting Blood Demon!”

Just as Jin Yu continued struggling in the hands of the Blood Demon, a black-robed youth strolled out from the shadows.

He gazed at Jin Yu with interest. “The prodigy of the Great Golden-Winged Eagle race, who possesses a nearly pure bloodline. What a rare treat.

“You will be the most perfect sacrifice. Together with countless prodigies, you will form part of the foundations of my success. You should be honored!

“Little chick, you are mine!”

With that, Hei Yuan formed a hand seal.

Blood patterns immediately surfaced on the Blood Demon’s skin as it stuffed Jin Yu into its abdomen.

Jin Yu nearly gagged at the thick stench of blood. “Jerk, kill me if you want. Why are you shaming me in this manner?

“So smelly! No, no. Don’t stuff me inside. Just kill me now. Give me a clean death!

“I can’t breathe. So smelly. I really feel like vomiting. Mhmmhm... Mhmmhm... Mhmmhm.”

In the end, Jin Yu was completely trapped in the Blood Demon’s body, like all those previous disciples.

After Hei Yuan captured Jin Yu, he merged back into the shadows to await his next opportunity in the Blood Demon Valley.

He was looking forward to the grand sacrificial ceremony. These humans and demons would all become sacrifices, while the Divine Firmament Saint would his most highly-coveted offering!

“Divine Firmament Saint, come quickly! I miss you to death!”

...

On the other end, Shen Tian and Kong Meng had just emerged from the Divine Void.

A crack appeared on the original rainbow peacock image on the cliff. It suddenly collapsed.

Gazing at the collapsed cliff, Kong Meng bowed respectfully, her eyes shining with multi-colored light.

She was now even more powerful than before, as she had received the Divine Light power source of a pure-blooded Saint Peacock. The benefits to her were endless.

As long as Kong Meng completely absorbed and refined this Divine Light power source, she would have no trouble at all reaching the Saint stage!

On top of that, she also managed to get a Divine artifact, the Rainbow Divine Light Fan.

This was a mighty divine artifact that could only be refined by a Saint who had undergone at least three tribulations.

Even if such a Saint wanted to refine a Divine artifact, it could not be easily achieved. They would have to invest years of arduous cultivation before it would come to fruition.

Even amongst the Soul Formation Heavenly Venerables, it was rare for one to own a Divine artifact. One could dominate over all of their peers with such an artifact.

Kong Meng was already ranked number one on the Southern Border Golden Core List. With this Rainbow Divine Light Fan, it would be like adding wings to a mighty tiger.

Come to think of it, Kong Meng would now be able to reign over all the Golden Core cultivators in the five regions!

Meanwhile, Shen Tian’s bounty was comparable to Kong Meng’s in certain ways. After all, it was ranked 8th on the Immortal Metal List. It was the most valuable extraordinary item in Shen Tian’s possession now.

Although Shen Tian had the Executing Heaven Sword, its power stemmed from the fact that its creator had refined the weapon until it was indestructible.

Meanwhile, the sword itself was only made from subpar Immortal Metal. It was not as powerful or beautiful as the Feather Immortal Metal.

Shen Tian had gotten the Feather Immortal Metal to acknowledge him as its owner with a drop of his blood. The Immortal Metal was now absorbed into Shen Tian’s body, residing in another lobe of his lungs.

With the Feather Immortal Metal in the left lobe and the Executing Heaven Sword in the right, both exuded a powerful aura that boosted Shen Tian’s lungs.

At this point, Shen Tian didn’t even dare to breathe too hard, for fear of puffing out a gust of sword energy that might shear his companion’s head in half.

...

Shen Tian’s Saint Token suddenly vibrated.

He took out the Saint Token and was stunned. “Junior Brother Yundi is calling me. It looks urgent.”

Eight streaks of red light had appeared on the Saint Token. This indicated that Qin Yundi had already tried to reach Shen Tian eight times.

What could have happened that made him so anxious?

Shen Tian directed a spell into the Saint Token, and Qin Yundi’s image appeared.

Qin Yundi heaved a visible sigh of relief upon seeing that his call finally got through. “Senior Brother, why didn’t you pick up my calls? We were all very worried.”

Little Spirit Fairy and the black dragon egg were beside Qin Yundi. They glanced at the glowing Kong Meng, who was standing beside Shen Tian. Their faces instantly darkened slightly.

What the hell did this Kong Meng do with Shen Tian?

These two were acting in such a secretive manner. They didn’t pick up any calls and looked so happy now!

Despicable!

This rainbow peacock is indeed not a good bird!

Shen Tian was exasperated. “Kong Meng and I went to a special secret place just now. It was a self-contained void. Maybe there was no signal there.”

A special secret place? Self-contained void?

Everyone couldn’t help sighing at Shen Tian’s words.

You and Kong Meng had just been away for a short while.

And you already encountered another great fortuitous opportunity?

The rumors in the sacred ground were indeed not just unfounded gossip. You are indeed the Son of Providence!

Too extraordinary!

But no one knew what kind of fortuitous opportunity the Saint and Fairy Kong Meng had encountered this time. No one dared to ask.

Shen Tian was again exasperated by everyone’s weird expressions. “Junior Brother Yundi, what happened? What’s so urgent?”

Qin Yundi finally snapped out of his trance and hurriedly explained. “Senior Brother, our brothers met with danger in the Blood Demon Valley and have appealed to us for help.”

Inside the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground, every single disciple owned a token that was proof of their identity and status. Each token also held a unique number that other disciples could use in order to correspond.

By directing a spell into the token, they could use it to communicate with the other disciples via short-distance transmission.

Of course, the more high level a disciple was, the more advanced his token would be, and the transmission could travel over longer distances.

Zhang San and the rest didn’t have Shen Tian’s token number and could only contact Qin Yundi, whom they were more familiar with.

Qin Yundi had immediately tried to contact Shen Tian after receiving the news. But the void was completely remote, and he only managed to reach Shen Tian after he left the void.

Qin Yundi immediately gave a concise account of what had happened at the Blood Demon Valley.

“Senior Brother Saint, to my own knowledge, the Blood Demons have a rather strict regiment when eating.

“They would store their food first, instead of killing them all in one go. If we hurry over now, we might be able to save our brothers.”

As Qin Yundi reported to Shen Tian, he was also preparing the gunpowder for his Yin-Yang Demon-Penetrating Guns.

His golden hair shone under the sunlight, his narrow eyes filled with determination.

After all, these disciples were close friends of Qin Yundi!

At this point, Kong Meng spoke up. “Blood Demon Valley? Another new Blood Demon has appeared?”

Shen Tian frowned slightly at her words. “Why did you emphasize on the word ‘another’? Are you trying to imply something?”

Kong Meng nodded. “Bai Ling, He Wushuang, and I encountered a Nascent Soul Blood Demon when we traveled through the Blood Demon Valley.

“We only managed to destroy it because there were five of us. How could there be another one?”

On the other side of the token, Bai Ling, He Wushuang, and Vulture all nodded, indicating that Kong Meng was speaking the truth.

Shen Tian frowned. “According to the convention, there should not be any soulless monsters at the Nascent Soul stage and above appearing in the Blood Demon Valley.

“And now you are telling me there are actually two of them? You guys just killed one, and another has appeared!

“When abnormal things happen, there must be something fishy behind it! There’s something weird going on in the Blood Demon Valley!”

At that moment, Shen Tian was frowning very deeply and in a highly vigilant state.

So it’s true that when a character with great providence participates, all sorts of strange occurrences will happen even in the most basic trials!

In this Primordial Battlefield now, Kong Meng, Zhao Hao, Qin Yundi, Xiao Ling, Qin Gao, and the rest were all people with great providence. It would be like smashing a hornets’ nest into the ground.

Under such circumstances, it was no surprise that all sorts of strange things would occur!

...

Shen Tian asked in all seriousness, “Qin Yundi, can I trust you?”

Feeling Shen Tian’s expectant gaze, Qin Yundi instantly went on the alert. He opened his eyes wider. “Senior Brother, I await your instructions!”

Shen Tian said gravely, “A Nascent Soul Blood Demon has appeared in the Blood Demon Valley. I need you to immediately inform all the disciples to stay far, far away from the valley.”

Qin Yundi nodded. “Senior Brother, don’t worry. I have already cautioned all our brothers.”

Pffft!

So fast?

Junior Brother Yundi, aren’t you a tad too fast?

Ahem, anyway, no time to joke. There are lives at stake here.

They must come up with a comprehensive rescue plan as soon as possible!

Shen Tian racked his brains before finally... realizing that he was not suited at all to be the wise leader who could come up with all sorts of brilliant strategies and plans.

What a headache! Never mind, he would just charge in recklessly!

With this thought, Shen Tian said, “I am the only one present who can handle a Nascent Soul Blood Demon. I will head into the Blood Demon Valley alone.

“I will reconvene with you guys if I manage to successfully save our brothers. If you don’t hear anything from me within the day...

“Junior Brother Yundi, if you didn’t receive any messages from me, you must inform all the disciples to leave the battlefield immediately!

“Not just our own disciples, but also all the disciples from the other sects. Do remember to inform them too!

“After leaving the battlefield, report to Aunt-Master White Lotus and the rest. Have them come over to settle things.”

By the time Shen Tian finished his instructions, Song Fugui and Liu Taiyi were already sobbing incoherently.

“Master Heavens, you cannot risk your life like that!”

“Master Heavens, there will be countless dangers and strange occurrences in the Blood Demon Valley. We cannot let you risk your life on your own!”

“I, Liu Taiyi, am not a death-fearing man. I am willing to fight side by side with Master Heavens!”

Song Fugui rubbed his head furiously as he immediately piped up. “Me too!”

Looking at how brave Song Fugui and Liu Taiyi were, there was no way the rest would step back in fear now.

After all, if they showed cowardice now, how could they ever hope to stand by Shen Tian’s side in the future?

“Brother Shen, Zhao Hao is willing to fight alongside you! Even if I die, there will be no regrets!”

Zhao Hao was enveloped in thick Nan Ming Li Fire, which formed the vague outline of a sword. He exuded a powerful sword aura from all over.

This was the effect of the Sword Heart Fruit. After attaining the Divine Sword Constitution, Shen Tian had realized that the Sword Heart Fruit was useless to him.

As a result, he had split up the Sword Heart Fruit and given it to Zhao Hao, Eunuch Gui, Little Spirit Fairy, Shen Ao, and the rest for them to cultivate with it.

By now, most of them had already refined and absorbed nearly all the Sword Heart Fruit and Dragon Blood Grass. Everyone’s powers had advanced to the next level.

At the very least, every single one of them could be considered prodigies amongst the Foundation Establishment cultivators, including... Shen Ao.

It must be said that just by tagging along behind his thirteenth brother, not only had he not had to endure any hardship, but he had also managed to become stronger over a shorter period!

It was not like the days spent in the Grand White Grotto-Heaven, painstakingly cultivating with Sword Venerable Long River. It was an arduous process with not many results to show for.

Shen Ao gazed at Shen Tian with a complex expression. “Thirteenth Brother, I cannot just stand by and watch you march to your death!”

Shen Tian, “...”

Although their words were rather moving, why did it feel like they were cursing him!?

Eunuch Gui was smiling grimly. “I already swore to never let anyone harm Your Highness. Over my dead body.”

Qin Gao gave Shen Tian an intense stare. “You saved my life. I am not afraid of death. I also hope to die while protecting Your Highness!”

...

Upon hearing everyone’s resolute words and seeing their firm expressions, Shen Tien felt rather moved and... speechless.

Come on!

Come on, guys! Seriously?

I am just going to fight against a Nascent Soul Blood Demon.

Why are you all behaving like I am going straight to my death?

A Foundation Establishment cultivator against a Nascent Soul monster. What’s the big deal? Could you all stop being so dramatic?

This is such cliche behavior. Ridiculous!

More importantly, even if I really encounter an enemy that I cannot handle, all I have to do is to don my full armor and walk away, right?

If you guys tag along and we meet with real danger, how do you expect me to save all of you? It will be impossible!

Shen Tian sighed in resignation. He considered how to tell these fellows without hurting their pride.

I am not trying to be polite, but you guys really... really...

Not only will you guys not be of any help, but you might even be a burden to me!
