Douluo Dalu 5: Rebirth Of Tang San

Both the queen consort and Wang Han looked pale at this moment. They had always thought that the biggest obstacle today would be the Peacock Great Demon King. They had been trying to find ways to restrain him using the internal laws of the clan and whatnot. But they had never expected that Mei Gongzi's strength would have reached such a level. First, her powerful divine consciousness completely surpassed their understanding of what a Demon King was like. Second, and more importantly, when she used her abilities, even they—Great Demon Kings, and strong ones for that matter—could feel that space was drawn to her!

It wasn’t that she controlled it by force; all of them could do that. Instead, she seemed to have merged with the space element, becoming one with it. She was not a manipulator of space, but a part of it. It was more like she didn’t have an affinity for the space element, but the space element had an affinity for her. This was something none of the Peacock Demon clan members present had ever felt.

This seemingly simple battle was in fact incredibly shocking.

Wang Ling was not the strongest among all the Demon Kings in the Peacock Demon clan; there were older ones who were stronger. However, he was definitely not the weakest. Yet in front of Mei Gongzi, Wang Ling couldn't even use his abilities; it wasn’t that she forcefully took him down, but that space energy left him of its own accord. Who in the Peacock Demon clan could compete with her? Even a Great Demon King couldn't surpass her control over space. Moreover, she hadn't even used the Celestial Plume!

If Tang San were here, he would instantly notice that Mei Gongzi's control over the space element had reached the absolute peak of this plane. She was now the one being most attuned to the space element in the entire plane—even the planar ruler itself could not do any better.

The Six Directions Eight Desolations Golden Fiend Tribulation was indeed incredibly powerful and terrifying, something Mei Gongzi couldn't have passed with her original cultivation. But now that she had successfully passed it, the plane itself acknowledged her, and this meant the space element was under her absolute control.

This was no longer just about the Peacock Demon clan's bloodline. After all, there were other clans with a space-attribute bloodline. But after successfully passing the tribulation with her human bloodline at the fore, she awakened a hint of divinity not from this plane but brought by the Asura Sword. In other words, she possessed some divine intent from her past life in addition to the one gained in this life. As a result, no one with space-related abilities in this entire world was closer to the space element than she was.

Wang Ling's strength was, of course, not something to scoff at. If he had abilities of another attribute, then even though Mei Gongzi would have inevitably won, it would have still taken her a while. But since they both had space-related abilities, and moreover both were from the Peacock Demon clan, the absolute attribute suppression made it impossible for him to exert even the strength needed to blink, let alone the strength to fight.

Such was the might of a true master of space.

Mei Gongzi silently felt the space energy whirling around her, as if rejoicing. She had gained new insights into this power after her breakthrough. She was yet to fully comprehend and internalize the benefits brought by the tribulation, but with these new realizations, the process seemed to speed up.

As she slowly descended back to the high platform, returning to the position where the Peacock Great Demon King had stood before, the Peacock Demon clan was silent.

Although all the Peacock Demon clan members couldn't believe the incredible scene, the facts were right in front of them.

The Peacock Great Demon King turned to the queen consort and the elders, saying indifferently, "Do you want to continue? Should we let a Great Demon King try?"

In the face of absolute control of space, how much power could a Great Demon King exert?

As the saying goes, those playing the game may not see things clearly, but spectators do. The day Mei Gongzi successfully passed her tribulation, the Peacock Great Demon King, while bringing her and Tang San back, could clearly feel that the space energy in the air was constantly nourishing Mei Gongzi's body, as if protecting its master. He was by far the most adept space user around, and yet the space energy was actually avoiding him because of Mei Gongzi's presence!

There were people with pure elemental physiques, but she had likely become something of an even higher level—an elemental avatar, the Avatar of Space!

There could be multiple people with a pure elemental physique, but there could only be one elemental avatar at one time for any given element. Any being with the same attribute would find it impossible to control that element in the presence of an elemental avatar.

Although Mei Gongzi was only a Demon King, she had control of space at the level of a Demon Emperor, maybe even greater. What chance did her clansmen have against her? Even the Peacock Great Demon King himself didn't believe he could defeat Mei Gongzi now. After all, how could one fight if they couldn't smoothly manipulate their fundamental attribute? Therefore, he had never worried about the clan's internal strife, not for a single moment. Postponing the ceremony by five days was just to let his daughter rest and recover.

What did the clan's doubts matter? In the presence of an Avatar of Space, any plans they had were in vain.

Not even an Emperor was guaranteed to become the avatar of their element—for instance, the Eternal Inferno Undying Demon Emperor, in spite of being arguably the most powerful fire element user in the entire plane, was not the Avatar of Fire. With that, it was clear how high Mei Gongzi's status was now and how fragile the Peacock Demon clan was in front of her. But conversely, if the Peacock Demon clan united under her leadership, their overall improvement would be orders of magnitude faster.

With this knowledge, the Peacock Great Demon King wasn't concerned about today's internal strife at all. At this moment, he still held the queen consort's hand, yet he was not restraining her but supporting her, preventing her from being overwhelmed by the events unfolding in front of her.

Meanwhile, Mei Gongzi stood on the high platform, overlooking the Peacock Demon clan members.

"Next, please."

Next? Wang Ling was defeated in one move, who the hell do you think is next?!

The queen consort's face was pale and almost on the verge of collapsing. Although she didn't know about Mei Gongzi being the Avatar of Space—since not even Mei Gongzi herself was aware—as the descendant of an Emperor, she knew a lot more than the average person. If her husband said that not even a Great Demon King could defeat Mei Gongzi, then that was the truth. How could they continue? At this point, Hundred Birds Greet the Sun had become a joke.

At this moment, a voice with a hint of coldness reverberated in the air. "Since outsiders are allowed, why don't I give it a try?"

Immediately, a figure shot out from among the spectators. As he appeared, the temperature in the air dropped significantly. A pair of dazzling blue wings spread open, and with just one flap, he was already on the high platform.

He was a young-looking man, and as he ascended the platform, his gaze at Mei Gongzi carried a strange brilliance.

The third elder of the Peacock Demon clan saw him and couldn't help but narrow his eyes, instinctively saying, "Ice Phoenix clan…."

Those ice-blue wings were unique to their clan.

The young man chuckled. "How can the phoenix race, the Kings of Birds, be absent from Hundred Birds Greet the Sun? I am Hu Mengyu of the Ice Phoenix Clan, here to challenge the heir of the Peacock Demon clan."

Mei Gongzi's gaze instantly turned cold, but at that moment, she heard the voice of the Peacock Great Demon King in her ear: "Do not kill."

Mei Gongzi was slightly taken aback. Indeed, at that instant, she had already felt a surge of killing intent.

Hu Mengyu looked down at the Peacock Great Demon King with a smile on his face and said, "Your Majesty, may I challenge her?"

The Peacock Great Demon King replied indifferently, "You may."
