Changsheng: My experience in patrolling the liver

Chapter 693 Slaying the Immortal-Devouring Bird, Meeting the Abyss Emperor! (Two Chapters Combined)

"It seems Brother Bird has been waiting for me for quite some time," Song Changming said casually, which made the big bird laugh.

“That’s right. I waited for you for a whole year before you left the island. It really made me wait a long time.” Big Bird didn’t mince words and then asked with a smile.

"Do you feel like you've become an immortal, free from all constraints, able to roam the world at will?"

Song Changming nodded and admitted, "I do feel that way."

"Hehe, you're not the first. That idiot who came from Peach Blossom Island a thousand years ago also flew around aimlessly after becoming a fairy queen. In the end, I swallowed him whole. He was really a great tonic."

The large bird transformed into a human, a gloomy man with raven feathers, a hooked nose, and narrow eyes, who looked anything but kind.

"So you tasted the sweetness and this time you came straight to the outside of Peach Blossom Island to wait for the second idiot who just transcended tribulation and ascended to immortality?" Song Changming asked.

“Indeed, if that Peach Blossom Fairy hadn’t been so powerful, you might have met me long ago, instead of waiting until now.” The bird spirit chuckled, its back covered in a pair of wings that it gently flapped.

"Good things come to those who wait," Song Changming laughed.

"Yes, yes, you're right. Good things come to those who wait." The bird spirit licked its lips, its eyes growing colder as it stared at Song Changming, who was surrounded by celestial energy, its heart filled with greed.

With a wave of his hand, Song Changming lifted Tang Kecha and the other two down with a burst of immortal power.

In this game, the three of them are of no use whatsoever.

Although the large bird in front of us is not a celestial beast, since it can feed on celestial beasts, its combat power must be at least at the celestial level, and it is definitely much stronger than a celestial beast that has just completed its celestial tribulation.

They are definitely not ordinary opponents!
The bird spirit suddenly flapped its wings, transforming into a black afterimage in the field of vision, and instantly approached Song Changming.

As soon as the bird opened its beak, an immense suction force appeared, about to swallow Song Changming whole.

Song Changming wanted to test his own immortal power, so he raised his palm and struck out.

What seemed like an ordinary palm strike actually generated a tremendous force far greater than what he had before ascending to immortality.

The nine-patterned martial core within his body activated, and the golden palm print formed in the air slammed down on the bird spirit's head.

Just as the bird spirit was about to say something trivial and show off, its eyes widened suddenly as it was slammed into the sea below by a thunderous palm print.

A huge, sunken palm print appeared on the sea surface, triggering a massive tsunami that ravaged hundreds of miles around.

Just as Tang Kecha and the other two landed on the sea, they witnessed Song Changming's astonishing palm strike, and were simultaneously swept into the sea by the tsunami.

Fortunately, they were not struck by that immense palm force, thus escaping death and narrowly escaping its grasp.

"Retreat quickly!" After struggling to the surface, Tang Kecha did not hesitate to quickly retreat with Fran and Biyougen.

If these three mortals got too close to each other, they might really be mistaken for three ants and easily swatted away.

A moment later, a large, jet-black bird, soaking wet, flew out from the sea, its eyes bloodshot, staring intently at the calm and composed Song Changming in the air.

It is a famous ferocious bird in the original continent, a descendant of the Nine Heavens Wind Demon Bird, and is considered a top predator in the air.

In the past, it had fought against many immortal beasts and immortals, and it knew very well that a mortal like Song Changming, who had just completed his tribulation and entered the immortal realm, had shed his mortal body but had not yet truly forged an immortal body.

His combat power wasn't actually that strong, and his immortal power was at its weakest at that time.

It specifically targets and devours these kinds of mythical beasts and immortals, almost always succeeding.

But unexpectedly, he stumbled with Song Changming today.

Seeing Song Changming bring over another large golden seal, which had the feel of a Buddhist seal and was extremely powerful in suppressing demons, the Nine Heavens Wind Demon Bird thought it had encountered the Buddha's teachings from heaven.

A chill ran down his spine, his face darkened, and he unleashed a hawk claw strike of his own.

This eagle claw was even larger than the giant handprint that Song Changming had created, and it looked as if it was about to crush Song Changming's handprint.

In terms of cultivation and spiritual attainment, it was very confident; how could it possibly be weaker than a fellow who had just entered the Immortal Realm!
It was just thrown into the sea because it was too careless!
The bird spirit tried to convince itself, but the next moment, it was struck again as if by a heavy blow. Its eagle claws were broken by Song Changming's large handprint, and blood stained the sky.

That palm print, which was clearly just made of immortal power, appeared extremely heavy and condensed. The force of hundreds of millions of pounds it carried was not the immortal power attribute it was familiar with at all.

This is no ordinary immortal power or technique!
Even Buddhist teachings shouldn't be so forceful and heavy!
The crushing force of the palm strike felt as if the sky had collapsed and pressed down on its head, rendering it unable to move.

The second blow sent the bird demon crashing back into the sea, causing it to cough up blood and displace its internal organs.

The stench of blood immediately attracted many sea creatures and aquatic beings, who greedily swarmed towards it.

No matter how powerful it is in the sky, it will be weakened a bit when it enters the water, not to mention that it was injured by Song Changming.

For a time, the bird spirit cried out in distress.

The wings stirred up a hurricane in the ocean, and several waterspouts immediately shot into the sky.

After striking twice, Song Changming was still somewhat unsatisfied, so he took out the God-Devouring Blade and slashed out again.

Immortal power was applied and unleashed, causing the nine bright suns in the sky to dim instantly, and the golden light of the sword illuminated half the sky.

The raging waterspouts disintegrated and collapsed instantly under the golden light, unleashing a torrential downpour over the sea.

The bird spirit finally broke free from the seabed and took to the air once more.

Below, a two-headed sea serpent emerged, nearly biting the bird spirit's body.

Having missed its target, the two-headed sea serpent reluctantly fell back into the sea.

Even spirits have their own territory, and it dared not leave the sea to fly into the sky and chase after the big bird to pounce and bite.

On the other side, Song Changming glanced at the God-Devouring Blade in his hand. Seeing that the immortal power had not put too much strain on the blade, he then confidently continued to attack the bird spirit.

He possessed neither magical powers nor Buddhist teachings, yet his sword was stronger than any magical technique and more powerful than any Buddhist teaching!
It's all because of his golden physique!

Born a swordsman!
Only now has he realized that he has never been able to unleash the full power of this golden physique.

Using immortal power to control the sword, the sword intent unleashed a power far surpassing that of the past.

It seems that this golden, top-tier physical trait has only now fully revealed its divine power!

The Eye of Space blinked, and its pupil technique activated, instantly solidifying the space where the bird spirit was located.

The bird spirit froze, but unlike its past opponents, this large bird broke through the solidified space with a flap of its wings and was not truly trapped in place.

In the midst of wind and rain, as darkness fell, the giant bird revealed its true form and shrieked at Song Changming, who was radiating golden light.

But as the golden light pierced the sky, the giant bird was covered in blood, its flesh pierced and torn by the long golden light, instantly losing all its life force.

Song Changming's strike was completely unstoppable, even though it possessed the bloodline of the Nine Heavens Wind Demon Bird.

On the sea, this storm came and went quickly.

During this time, a golden light appeared twice in the sky, which stopped the storm.

On the stormy sea, Tang Kecha looked up at the sky and witnessed the great bird being killed. The battle was much faster than he had expected.

The giant bird monster that could feed on immortals was so easily slain by its own master. Song Changming, whose body was brimming with immortal power, was now seen as unapproachable by the three of them.

They witnessed Song Changming's growth over the years since he first arrived on the Primordial Continent, from an ordinary person who knew nothing to obtaining a celestial fruit and stepping into the celestial realm.

This growth rate is undeniably rapid.

Sometimes, Tang Kecha would lament how unfair the way of heaven was, but he couldn't help but marvel at how Song Changming, whether a mortal or an immortal, displayed unparalleled strength in every era.

It's rare to see Song Changming suffer a setback, just like the scene before us.

The giant bird tried to devour the immortal, but was instead killed.

A streak of dark light flew out from the large bird's corpse, attempting to escape.

Unfortunately, Song Changming saw it clearly and reached out to grab the dark light.

The dark light is nothing but the spirit of a bird that wants to abandon its physical body and escape.

The celestial power formed a cage, trapping the bird's soul inside, making it difficult for it to escape.

"Let me go! How dare you treat me like this? Do you know that I am a descendant of the Nine Heavens Wind Demon Bird!"

The bird spirit chirped and chattered, still arrogant, but its voice was much quieter. Without a physical body, it could no longer be fierce in front of Song Changming.

"Nine Heavens Wind Demon Bird? Never heard of it, is it very powerful?" Song Changming said with a sneer.

The native spirits here love to compare status and backing, and they especially enjoy doing so after a crushing defeat.

Sometimes this trick really works. In this world with immortals and gods, having a powerful figure backing you up can indeed make people extremely wary.

After all, the other party could annihilate them with a single thought or a manifestation of their power.

Therefore, sometimes, without a powerful backer, even if you are highly skilled, you may not be able to fight this or kill that, which can be very frustrating.

Of course, this tactic wasn't very effective against Song Changming.

After all, he had enough life and a stubborn head, and he really had never heard of any Nine Heavens Wind Demon Bird.

Just as Song Changming was thinking about how to deal with the large bird that had come to devour him, a cheerful voice suddenly floated down from the high sky.

"The Nine Heavens Wind Demon Bird is really nothing special; it's just a mount kept by the Wind God of the Celestial Court."

It was raining and windy, but as this voice fell, the gloomy sky suddenly became clear, and the dark clouds dispersed quickly.

As if sensing something, Song Changming's connection with Emperor Yuan within his body was suddenly triggered, and then it transformed into a point of light and flew out of his body.

The points of light continued to rise into the sky, and were eventually caught by a hand in the heavens.

This person was dressed in white, wearing a purple crown, and had long, black hair that hung down naturally, fluttering in the wind.

Her features were gentle yet sharp, and her clear eyes, with a hint of a smile, fell on Song Changming below.

"Young friend Song, we've finally met."

Looking at that imposing figure, Song Changming took a deep breath and slowly said, "Greetings, Emperor Yuan."

Song Changming had considered a formal meeting with that emperor who would be remembered for all time, but he never expected that they would meet in such a sudden and unexpected situation.

Emperor Yuan took a light step, and the next moment his figure appeared in front of Song Changming.

The flawless, ethereal aura emanating from him far surpassed that of Song Changming at the moment.

In fact, the two are not comparable at all, much like the difference between a firefly and the bright moon.

Thinking about it, it makes sense. You have to know that Emperor Yuan came to the Primordial Continent ten thousand years ago and became an immortal long ago. His immortal techniques and cultivation are far superior to Song Changming's.

"There's no need for that. I am no longer the emperor of that realm. The past is all just a passing cloud," Emperor Yuan said, waving his hand.

Upon hearing this, Song Changming suddenly thought of the immortal tribulation he had undergone previously.

The third tribulation is the severing of one's mind and nature.

While it doesn't necessarily require complete ruthlessness, it does imply severing ties with the past.

Only by lightening one's body can one enter the fairyland.

The Emperor Yuan before us may have already severed his mind and let go of many things back then, which is why he appears so calm and composed now.

This is actually normal, since most people seeking immortality do so in this way.

The mortal and immortal realms are different even in terms of the time span alone.

If one were to take a nap after becoming an immortal, the entire dynasty in the mortal realm would likely have already undergone several generations of change.

Not to mention that this Emperor Yuan has been an immortal for ten thousand years. It is already quite remarkable that he can personally meet Song Changming, a fellow countryman who came from the same small world.

"I haven't yet congratulated you, young friend, on achieving enlightenment and attaining immortality today," Emperor Yuan said, looking at Song Changming with a smile.

Emperor Yuan looked older than Song Changming, but he was still handsome and had a special charm that made him approachable.

Compared to Song Changming, Emperor Yuan is more in line with the public's imagination of an immortal being.

He was unfathomable, with an air of otherworldly grace, yet possessed an overwhelming aura; he was clearly a high-ranking deity!
Song Changming understood that the reason Emperor Yuan had taken notice of him this time was mostly because of his successful ascension to immortality.

In other words, even though Song Changming was from the same hometown as Emperor Yuan, he still had to wait until Emperor Yuan ascended to immortality to catch his eye.

If he were merely a mortal struggling at the very bottom of the original continent, even after ten or twenty years, or even a hundred years, he might not be able to attract this Abyss Emperor.

Song Changming understood this.

If someone has no value, he would hardly bother to take a second look at them, let alone pay attention to them.

"You, who are you!"

The bird spirit, still in its cage, looked at the arriving Emperor Yuan with suspicion and was momentarily intimidated by his imposing presence, so it dared not be too arrogant.

After all, the other party had just pointed out the identity and background of their ancestor in one sentence.

The mount of a high god of the wind department in the Celestial Court!
Judging from the tone of the other party, they not only recognized the Nine Heavens Wind Demon Bird Ancestor, but also the Wind Department God, who seemed to be a 'high-ranking official' from the upper realm!
"You little bird, you're not worthy to know my name. Do with me as you please, young friend," Emperor Yuan said casually.

After a moment's thought, Song Changming decided to take the bird's soul into his soul banner as well, to keep it for future interrogation.

"The Celestial Court you just mentioned..." Song Changming looked at Emperor Yuan, asking about the confusion that had just arisen in his heart.

"The Celestial Court," Emperor Yuan smiled slightly.

"Like a court in the human world, it governs the immortal race in this primordial world, so it can be considered a place for officials."
