Chapter 2215: Little Pet, Die

The phantom before the yellow chicken shot out from within it, hovering above everyone. Even the Spirit God Palace seemed insignificant before it.

“This… the Undying Emperor?”

Zhang Xuan’s whole body trembled, his pupils contracting. His expression was complex: “Little yellow chicken…”

Though he had guessed before, seeing it with his own eyes still left him shaken beyond control.

No wonder this chicken, when it was still a gourd, kept claiming to be a divine beast roaming the God Realm. At the time, he thought it was bragging… never in his dreams did he expect it to be one of the Nine Emperors!

No wonder, when entering the Trapped Sky City in the Upper Firmament, it felt familiar, and the aura of decay had no effect on it. After all this fuss… it was its city!

He had taken an emperor as a beast pet…

“No…” Just as he was feeling shocked, a thought emerged, and his body stiffened: “The little yellow chicken is the consciousness reborn after the Undying Emperor’s death, so it was easy for it to acknowledge me as master. This phoenix shadow before me is clearly not. If it is unwilling… it will be very dangerous.”

Though he did not know why the Undying Emperor could revive after death, the little yellow chicken clearly had sealed memories and knew nothing.

It was like amnesia. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he had taken it as a beast pet… Now that the great emperor had awakened, would it not go berserk!

Just as he was worrying, he saw the enormous phoenix in the sky turn to look at him. Though it did not attack, the immense pressure still crushed down like the collapse of heaven and earth.

Feeling this pressure, Zhang Xuan’s newly ascended soul had no resistance at all. His body trembled uncontrollably, as if about to be ground to dust.

“No…”

His true qi boiled, and his bent back straightened again bit by bit.

“I, the Undying Heavenly Phoenix, though called undying, when faced with true destructive blows, will still have my soul scattered and my body perish, my Dao extinguished. I merely revive from the flames as time passes!”

The phoenix phantom in the air was devoid of emotion, its voice cold: “A reborn life, to protect itself, will actively seal its memories, only reopening them when cultivation reaches a certain level… You took advantage of my memory-less time to tame me as a beast pet. This crime is heinous… I, the Undying Emperor, need no master! And no one is worthy to be my master!”

Boom!

Word after word, the majesty in the air grew heavier, and the surrounding space solidified.

Zhang Xuan felt as if he were carrying a great mountain. The狂暴 power pressed his spine to bend again, on the verge of giving way.

When an emperor is angered, even heaven and earth cannot bear it.

“This man actually took advantage of the emperor’s revival gap to tame it as a beast pet?”

“How bold! How did he manage it?”

“Indeed, even if the emperor hasn’t recovered his power, he still contains imperial aura. Taking him as a beast pet—aren’t you afraid of backlash?”

Feng Hanxue and the other two were all trembling.

The three titled Divine Kings also looked at the young man not far away in disbelief.

The Nine Heavens’ Nine Emperors, each stood at the pinnacle of all life. Even reborn, their life level remained, their bloodline not something ordinary people could resist. How lacking in common sense was this person to take one as a beast pet?

Most crucially… the will born from the emperor’s revival—how lacking in common sense was it to… agree?

Knowing this was the emperor’s internal conflict, they dared not interject, all keeping silent.

“I am the little yellow chicken, not the Undying Emperor! He is my master, no one can touch him!”

Boom!

Just as Zhang Xuan felt he could not bear it, a roar rang out, and he saw the yellow chicken behind the phantom struggling incessantly, its eyes resolute.

“You…” The phoenix was startled, no longer pressing Zhang Xuan, looking at the chicken with a complex gaze.

This was the intelligence reborn from him… How had it been so bewitched?

One of the Nine Emperors acknowledging a Heavenly God as master—utterly disgraceful…

“Kill this fellow…”

Restraining the yellow chicken with his will, the phoenix snorted.

The three titled ones nodded simultaneously, lightly shifting to envelop Zhang Xuan.

The emperor had commanded; they dared not disobey.

“How dare you…” The little yellow chicken gritted its teeth, eyes reddening.

It had not awakened its memories, so naturally it did not feel the emperor’s arrogance, nor would it allow the other to kill its master.

“You and I share the same origin. Though I am now but a wisp of thought, you cannot resist me…”

The phoenix phantom snorted coldly, and the charging little yellow chicken was instantly bound, unable to move.

The yellow chicken was the new will born from the Undying Emperor’s revival, sharing the same origin. The latter knew all its secrets and methods, so trapping it was not difficult.

Seeing the three titled ones surround him, Zhang Xuan was not nervous but looked at them calmly: “Whether I take someone as a beast pet is the emperor’s affair. I advise you not to meddle. Otherwise, if you kill me, when the yellow chicken returns to its peak strength, you should know the consequences…”

“This…”

The three titled ones paused.

What he said was correct.

The Undying Emperor commanding them, though still looking the same, was actually just a wisp of thought left in the statue, which would eventually fade away.

While the yellow chicken was their revived emperor!

If they killed its master today, once it returned and ruled the world… the three of them would surely be slain!

Master or servant—which was more important, anyone could understand.

“Hurry up and act…”

The phoenix phantom, seeing them stop, flew into a rage: “Once I recover my memories, do you think I would still acknowledge another as master?”

The three titled ones raised their brows again.

They had been with the emperor for no less than ten thousand years, knowing his temper and nature. Having been so lofty for so long, how could he acknowledge a superior-grade Heavenly God as master?

It would be a laughingstock if word got out!

Boom!

The three’s power roared, and in an instant, an energy barrier formed around Zhang Xuan, trapping him inside, unable to escape.

Seeing they were truly about to act, Zhang Xuan narrowed his eyes.

Now the little yellow chicken was trapped by the phoenix’s will and could not leave. He could only rely on himself.

Though his soul had advanced to the peak of Divine King, his cultivation had not broken through. Against true titled ones, he was still outmatched, especially when facing three.

“I can only use the Heavenly Book of Dao again…”

His eyes flickered.

In this situation, there was no other way. He could only use the Heavenly Book of Dao and try to smash the three to death with one book.

However…

The three occupied three positions, enveloping him. If he summoned the Heavenly Book of Dao, he would also be caught in its range and face danger.

Unless… he could make the three stand in the same direction and not too far apart…

Ssshh!

While pondering how to achieve this, a beam of energy shot over. He dodged, but his clothes were torn, revealing the pendant Luo Ruoxi had given him, hanging on his chest.

Hum!

With a soft chime, the pendant grew warm.

The phoenix in the air saw the pendant, and its action of suppressing the little yellow chicken stopped. It flashed and appeared before Zhang Xuan: “Little pet, die, greetings to master…”
