Jin Chixiao is the clan leader of the Golden-Winged Peng Clan. Jin Pengzi is the junior he favors the most, with the potential to inherit the clan leader's position in the future.

However, before Jin Pengzi could rise undefeated, he was mercilessly killed by Ye Chen. This incited boundless rage in Jin Chixiao, his murderous intent clearly evident.

"Jin Pengzi oppressed the Holy Maiden Feng Wu and even launched a sneak attack on me. So what if I killed him?" Ye Chen spoke without fear of the saintly might.

"You killed my clan's strongest successor and yet speak so righteously. You truly have great guts!" Jin Chixiao roared in anger.

"Thank you for the compliment!" Ye Chen accepted the praise without modesty.

"You, you…" Jin Chixiao pointed at Ye Chen in fury, his face alternating between blue and red, too enraged to speak.

"You're babbling like an idiot, can't even speak properly. I really wonder how you managed to become a saint!" Ye Chen said with disdain.

"You wretched thing!" Jin Chixiao's face reddened, not from shyness, but from sheer anger.

Jin Chixiao is an invincible saint, while Ye Chen is just a junior. Yet this junior was surprisingly arrogant and disrespectful, daring to provoke his authority. How could Jin Chixiao tolerate this?

"You bastard!" Ye Chen's words showed no respect, filled with arrogance and recklessness.

"Boom!"

In a fit of rage, Jin Chixiao struck, intent on killing Ye Chen to avenge Jin Pengzi and vent his anger.

A pair of golden wings manifested, covering the sky, slicing towards Ye Chen.

Wherever the golden wings passed, they obliterated the void and chaos, emanating a terrifying aura that made souls tremble.

This was the might of Jin Chixiao, this was the invincible saintly power!

"You think you can strike whenever you want? Do you think I don't exist?"

Just as Saint Jue Qing was about to intervene and block the golden wings, the silent Dragon Esteem erupted.

"Roar!"

A dragon's phantom appeared, emitting destructive power, crashing fiercely into the enormous wings covering the sky.

"Boom!"

The void boiled, and the heavens shattered.

The dragon's phantom obliterated the enormous wings, causing Jin Chixiao to suffer a heavy blow and retreat instantly.

"What!" Everyone was shocked.

Jin Chixiao is a dominant saint and the leader of the Golden-Winged Peng Clan. Yet, the powerful and invincible Jin Chixiao was forced to retreat by a single move from Dragon Esteem, shocking everyone's hearts.

"When I was glorious and invincible, you were still in your cradles." Dragon Esteem stood proudly in the void, overlooking the saints. "If you dare act viciously before me, don't blame me for slaughtering saints to establish my authority!"

Dragon Esteem has been the supreme saint since ancient times, exceedingly grand and invincible, dominating an entire era.

Although the saints were powerful, they were leagues behind Dragon Esteem!

Furthermore, Dragon Esteem's existence is extremely ancient, tracing back to ancient times. In his eyes, figures like Jin Chixiao, Tuoba Huangshan, and Xuanyang were mere children.

"Dragon Esteem, I honor you as an elder and respect your strength! But that doesn't mean I fear you!" Jin Chixiao revealed his true form, hovering high above, exuding a vast will, seemingly declaring war on Dragon Esteem.

"Jin Wushen is your elder. He and I are peers, so it's unfair for me to bully you," Dragon Esteem said. "But Ye Chen is my godson. Since you bully him, I have no choice but to bully you!"

Dragon Esteem's words echoed through the heavens, declaring Ye Chen's identity and expressing his resolve.

"Damn it, how could it be like this? How could Ye Chen be Dragon Esteem's godson?"

"With Dragon Esteem protecting Ye Chen, things have become difficult!"

"…"

Dragon Esteem's sudden show of power filled everyone with gloom, even Jin Chixiao fell silent.

"It's already overwhelming that Ye Chen's cultivation is invincible, and he also has invincible fortune, protected by Dragon Esteem… This young man's future is limitless, perhaps he could become Baihua Palace's protector. No matter what, I must retain him!"

Saint Jue Qing observed everything, fully understanding Ye Chen's monstrous qualities. With invincible cultivation and unmatched fortune, such a figure, once risen, would undoubtedly be invincible!

The ninth great catastrophe is imminent, and Baihua Palace needs to expand its power and strengthen its foundation.

Ye Chen's emergence seemed destined.

With Ye Chen's smooth growth, he could become the strongest protector of Baihua Palace in the chaotic times ahead!

Saint Jue Qing realized Ye Chen's potential and naturally would do everything possible to protect, cultivate, and retain him.

"Dragon Esteem, Ye Chen killed my clan's genius, it cannot end like this!" Jin Chixiao's fury swept across the heavens. "If you shield this young man, I will return to the clan and invite Wushen Sage, and we will fight the Dragon Clan to the death!"

Jin Pengzi was brutally killed by Ye Chen, and he himself was humiliated by Ye Chen. All of this made Jin Chixiao furious.

Jin Chixiao is an invincible saint, the leader of the Golden-Winged Peng Clan. When has he ever suffered such humiliation?

Ye Chen's arrogance and Dragon Esteem's dominance made Jin Chixiao unable to endure.

At this moment, Jin Chixiao was already mad, with a resolve to fight to the death.

"Very well!" Dragon Esteem said calmly. "Jin Wushen and I have an unresolved grudge. Hurry up and leave this place, bring Jin Wushen to me!"

Dragon Esteem is forever dominant and towering, impossible to resist, and invincible. Jin Chixiao is the Dapeng Clan leader, but in Dragon Esteem's eyes, he was treated like a mere errand boy.

"You!"

Jin Chixiao hovered high up, unable to bear Dragon Esteem's dominance, seemingly ready to strike at any moment.

"I'll give you three breaths to leave this place and bring Jin Wushen!" Dragon Esteem ignored Jin Chixiao's anger, speaking indifferently.

"Dragon Esteem, you fell behind in cultivation after being dormant for thousands of years, overtaken by many. Despite your ancient status, you are no longer the strongest. You are just a declining hero, do you really think I fear you?"

Jin Chixiao's roar disrupted the heavens and the earth. By this moment, he had torn off all pretenses, speaking irreverently to Dragon Esteem.

"..."

After Jin Chixiao roared, the world fell silent, and everyone held their breath, scared to their core.

Even Ye Chen was dumbfounded, staring blankly at Jin Chixiao. This gold-winged bird had guts, daring to say that Dragon Esteem's glory had faded?!

Dragon Esteem had fallen thousands of years ago. Even if his True Spirit hadn't perished, he had been wandering between life and death, hindering his cultivation severely.

Moreover, Dragon Esteem's current state was far from his peak years!

However, even if Dragon Esteem retained only a fraction of his power, it would still be terrifyingly immense, unmatched by anyone! Why? Simply because he is Dragon Esteem!

Dragon Esteem's demise had hindered his cultivation for millennia, a fact known to all.

Yet, despite knowing this, no one dared to speak it aloud.

But Jin Chixiao, in his fury, unveiled this truth and declared that Dragon Esteem's prime had indeed ended, alarming everyone... This gold-winged bird was courting trouble!

Jin Chixiao's words caused silence among everyone, as if time itself had stood still.

Everyone looked towards Dragon Esteem, this invincible overlord, uncertain of his reaction.

"I have wandered between life and death for thousands of years, and indeed my cultivation hasn't progressed, possibly even regressed."

"But even in such a state, you have no right to judge me!"

"Because I am stronger than you, much stronger!"

When Dragon Esteem spoke these words, they were devoid of any emotion, filled with a sense of calm.

Yet, everyone felt a chilling fury, a wrath that could burn the nine heavens, annihilate all beings, and consume everything!

Dragon Esteem, this ancient overlord, was enraged!

"Boom!"

Words were no longer needed. Dragon Esteem attacked without reservation, leaping directly towards the giant golden peng in his human form.

"Dragon Esteem, you're old, outdated!" Jin Chixiao went utterly mad, daring to battle Dragon Esteem. "It's time for your glory to vanish. Let me end it all!"

"Boom!"

A pair of golden wings obscured the sky, emanating violent, destructive energy. In an instant, Jin Chixiao attacked with full force, trying to suppress Dragon Esteem.

"Ha."

Jin Chixiao's rampant arrogance elicited a light laugh from Dragon Esteem.

Dragon Esteem radiated a sense of destruction. As the massive golden wings swept towards him, he didn't even dodge, but grabbed them directly with his hands.

"Boom!"

Terror exploded at that moment. Dragon Esteem's hands gripped the golden wings, light bursting from his arms, tearing them apart forcibly.

"Pch!"

With Dragon Esteem's yank, the giant peng's body shattered like a thin sheet of paper, easily torn in half.

"What!"

Witnessing Dragon Esteem's brutal onslaught, everyone trembled. An invincible saint was defeated just like that?!

Jin Chixiao was considered formidable among saints, otherwise, he wouldn't have dared to challenge Dragon Esteem. But the mightiest saint of the Dapeng Clan couldn't even withstand one move from Dragon Esteem and was directly killed in close combat!

Terrifying, too terrifying!

Everyone looked at Dragon Esteem's figure, their eyes filled with a hint of fear.

This was the unbeatable Dragon Esteem, the top saint through the ages, still terrifying after thousands of years without cultivation, and now far from his peak state!

"You haven't cultivated for thousands of years, how could you still be so strong!"

After being torn apart, Jin Chixiao transformed into a human. Saints are immortal, not easily perishable.

However, although Jin Chixiao didn't perish, his condition was dreadful, his aura fluctuating, clearly heavily injured.

"You're just a little sparrow. I could kill you with a mere hand stroke!" Dragon Esteem walked forward, transformed into a meteor, pressing towards Jin Chixiao.

"What, what do you want to do? I've already lost, do you really have to go this far?" Jin Chixiao felt Dragon Esteem's oppressive power, fear arising in his heart.

"I just enjoy slaughtering mercilessly!"

Dragon Esteem strode forward, punching Jin Chixiao in the face, sending him flying viciously, his tone willful.

"..."

"Jin Wushen is annoying, but you are even more so. I'll kill you first, then wipe out Jin Wushen, and then eradicate your entire bird clan!"

"Dare to say my glory has faded, and I'm outdated? You must be tired of living!"

Thinking of Jin Chixiao's words, boundless anger surged in Dragon Esteem's heart. His iron fists emitted a dark glow, transforming into light dots and hammering onto Jin Chixiao.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Dragon Esteem's fists were violently brutal, breaking Jin Chixiao's bones, crushing his organs, piercing his chest, turning him into a bloodied figure!

"Trash!"

In the end, Dragon Esteem spoke indifferently, delivering a straight punch that sent Jin Chixiao flying, causing everyone to tremble in fear.
