The Tianxia Peacock King wasnât doing so well. Most of its plumage had been torn off, and only a few feathers remained on the birdâs tail. It was like a plucked chicken, or a paper fan that had been mostly shredded.
Wounds covered its body, and many of them looked severe.
But no matter how badly injured it was, this creature was still a powerful deified foe. The peacockâs eyes started to flash. It emitted a rainbow godlight substance chain, forming an area that shielded everything. Everything inside that area would be melted by the rainbow godlight. Anything inside the area would be reduced to dust, crumbling away in minutes.
Han Sen and the others were better off inside the white whale. The hull of the white whale was very solid. When the rainbow godlight shone on it, slow trickles of dust began to slide off the shipâs hull. The process was obnoxiously slow.
The cloud and Bao Qin didnât fare as well. When the rainbow godlight shone on the cloud, it started to become dust. Bao Qinâs armor couldnât withstand the godlight either. The armorâs transformation into dust was very slow, but it was Bao Qinâs self-armor. If it was injured beyond the point of recovery, his entire body would be permanently damaged.
The Tianxia Peacock Kingâs target was the cloud. Its eyes glowed with a godlight that seemed focused on the cloud. The cloud was scared, and it quickly flew forward. But instead of trying to escape the area, it just hid beneath the white whale.
The Tianxia Peacock Kingâs godlights fell on the white whale and almost pierced through the hull.
âOh sh*t! Does that bad luck cloud hate me this much?â Han Sen whined. He turned to Baoâer. âGo faster! Lose it!â
Baoâer pushed the white whaleâs power to the max. The white whale released a whale-like call, and then it broke lurched forward as if it planned to leave no matter what got in its way.
The cloud managed to close the distance, and again, it appeared beneath the white whale. The rainbow godlights fell on the cloud, and it melted quickly.
Soon, the spider plant was revealed. The plant was very green, like flawless jade. The rainbow godlight shone on the spider plant, but the plant seemed immune to the godlightâs power.
Bao Qin was running in the opposite direction. He took refuge in some clouds, and when he looked back, he saw the spider plant. He screamed hoarsely, âHoly Area Grass! That is the Holy Area Grass!â
Without a second of thought, Bao Qin sent a swarm of substance chains toward the spider plant.
The Tianxia Peacock Kingâs target was the spider plant. When it saw that Bao Qin was trying to steal its prize, the rainbow godlight fired a laser at him.
Bao Qin raised his harp to block the rainbow godlight, but the deified treasure was quickly annihilated by the peacockâs powerful attack.
Blergh!
Dust rained from Bao Qinâs body. He looked very upset about his loss, and his desire for the plant still showed plainly across his face. However, he was no longer willing to try and steal the spider plant. He ripped a hole in the fabric of space, teleported, and disappeared.
After all, he wasnât comparable to someone like Meng Lie. Even with the Tianxia Peacock King being as injured as it was, he couldnât do battle with it. That would be a fight he stood no chance of winning, and he knew it.
After Bao Qin escaped, the Tianxia Peacock Kingâs gaze returned to the spider plant. It wanted to eat the spider plant, but before it could swoop down on the plant, the plant flew away under some invisible force. It was being pulled to another location.
The Tianxia Peacock King looked in the direction the plant was being pulled. He saw a little girl standing atop the white whale. A little gold gourd was clutched in her hands, and it was that gourd which was sucking in the spider plant.
When he saw this, Han Senâs heart stopped. He didnât even know when Baoâer had gone outside to use her gourd on the spider plant.
The Tianxia Peacock King squawked with anger. Its rainbow substance chains erupted like a volcano, and the sheer volume of its substance chains appeared to shroud the entirety of space.
It looked furious. Even when Meng Lie had attacked the bird, it hadnât been this disgruntled.
That rainbow godlight was everywhere. It was like a rainbow sky had descended over everything.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
After Baoâer climbed back into the white whale, Han Sen sent the ship rocketing forward. But no matter how fast the white whale flew, it wasnât fast enough to outrun the Tianxia Peacock Kingâs rainbow godlight.
The scary rainbow godlight landed on the white whale, and the shipâs shell began to disintegrate even faster.
The white body of the machine suddenly looked like a plume of grey smoke while it flew. A lot of dust and ash crumbled away, like some sort of ugly comet.
The white whaleâs shell was melted by the rainbow godlight, revealing the bones of its interior structure.
âWeâre going to die! Weâre going to die! I beg you guys... Return whatever you stole...â Ning Yue cried, gripping Han Senâs leg.
Han Senâs eyes kept shifting around. With the rate at which the white whaleâs hull was being eroded, he also knew things werenât going to last.
But after seeing how Bao Qinâs reaction to the spider plant, Han Sen realized that the spider plant must be very precious. He had never heard of the Holy Area Grass before, but he didnât want to concede and give it up now.
But the Tianxia Peacock King was still a frightening beast. The rainbow godlight it emitted seemed unstoppable. Han Sen and his companions werenât strong enough to withstand the might of such a creature.
The pirates and the imprisoned Extreme King knights watched all this with terrified eyes. They were all in shock. Their eyes darted all around the melting white whale.
If the white whale was destroyed, not one of them would be able to escape all this. They would be turned into dust by the rainbow godlight.
âBaoâer, take the item back outside...â Han Sen could think of no other way to deal with the Tianxia Peacock King.
Although Baoâer didnât want to, she wouldnât disobey Han Sen. She took the spider plant out of the gourd and gave it to Han Sen.
âTianxia Peacock King, take this item and let us live!â Han Sen threw the spider plant out of the white whale, hurling it far away from them.
The Tianxia Peacock King, upon seeing the spider plant, gleefully raced towards it. It was no longer interested in attacking the white whale.
Han Sen probably should have thrown the spider plant further, but the Tianxia Peacock King was far quicker than he expected. It appeared next to the spider plant in an instant. It opened its mouth and swallowed the whole thing in one gulp.
No one could stop the Tianxia Peacock King, and the spider plant vanished down the birdâs throat in an instant.
After the Tianxia Peacock King swallowed the spider plant, it moaned to the sky. The noise was so loud that it rocked the Tianxia System. Han Sen didnât speak the language of birds, but he could imagine how good that plant must have tasted for the bird to moan and groan in such pleasure.
The bird moaned for a long time, but the noise was suddenly cut short by a loud burp. The Tianxia Peacock King had suddenly become so full.
Han Sen was still trying to flee the area in the white whale, but before he could get too far away, he heard a strange noise. It made him turn to look at the Tianxia Peacock King.
The bird kept burping and burping. It couldnât seem to stop, and it looked like it was suffering. The creature seemed to have eaten too much.
The strangest thing was that its belly was swelling. It was like a slim lady had suddenly become eight months pregnant.
Han Sen was stunned, but as he stared, he had a sudden thought. With a shock, he said, âIs that black cricket doing something inside the peacockâs belly?â
