Azure Peng King

* Human Form
* Azure Peng

The **Azure Peng King** is one of the four heavenly kings, the *Heavenly King of Azure Brilliance*, of the Central region of the Loneheaven Plane. He rules over the Azure Brilliance Mountain. He is a recurring antagonist that almost ended Jian Chen's life in several occasions.

## Overview

**The Heavenly King of Azure Brilliance** was a peak expert who had reached mid Grand Prime. Moreover, the noble, powerful blood of a divine beast flowed through his veins. Not only was his speed almost unmatched, but even his battle prowess could be described as impressive.

He's widely known over the Saint Realm as a hard-to-deal-with character since he holds long-standing grudges for everything. Azure Peng King has had a long-standing enmity with Celestial Sword Saint and has been unable to enter the Desolate Plane ever since.

## Personality

**The Heavenly King of Azure Brilliance** was infamous throughout the Saints' World. He was unruly, ruthless, cold-blooded, and merciless. He was known for being a dangerous figure in the entire world. Even though he was not one of the most powerful experts, he was one of the worst people to provoke.

Moreover, he was a person who held onto grudges very much, someone with a very vengeful nature. As a result, the various experts of the Saints’ World would try their best to not provoke him, enduring him as much as they could. Having done all means just to kill Jian Chen over a disciple that he holds not much compassion for. Though, that part is still in need of speculation.

Once someone wronged him, he would never miss a single chance to kill them unless they were powerful to the point where he could do nothing to them like the Celestial Sword Saint. Even towards the sword saint, he harbored bitter resentment. If there was a day where he was more powerful than the former, or if the opportunity ever presented itself, he would attack the Celestial Sword Saint without any hesitation.

As a result, none of the experts who had organizations attached to them really wanted to provoke the Heavenly King of Azure Brilliance.

But even though he thinks highly of himself, the Azure Peng King is quite timid and fearful of beings that are beyond his strength. This has been shown in some situations wherein he failed to kill certain people due to powerhouses and influences the Azure Peng deems as a threat to him. Such as with Ming Dong who was protected by Yixin and Jian Chen having the protection of Heartless Child.

## Description

He appeared to be a gigantic azure peng that had wings that could shroud the skies and flickered with dazzling azure. Even the majestic Neptunean Divine Palace was not a tenth of the Azure Peng King’s size. However, even at that size he moved at an unbelievable speed as if the concept of distance did not exist before him.

In human form, he appeared to be a middle-aged man in azure robes. His gaze was sharp, and his sculpted facial features were filled with a sense of supremacy.

## Cultivation

Although the Heavenly King of Azure Brilliance is at the Fourth Heavenly Layer, his bloodline as a divine beast is so powerful that he can even kill some regular Fifth Heavenly Layer Grand Primes.

### **Laws of Space**

As the king of the azure peng, the Heavenly King of Azure Brilliance possessed great speed, enough for him to cross worlds. He could travel millions of kilometres in a split second. There were only a handful of experts across the entire Saints’ World that could match his speed.

### **Lifebound Plume**

This was a feather condensed using his vital energies and then nurtured it within him for every year. Every single Lifebound Plume possesses devastating power, equivalent to a full-strength attack from the Azure Peng King. Over all these years, he has only nurtured three Lifebound Plumes. Every single one of them are extremely precious, even something his direct disciples won’t receive.

## Plot

After his disciple Mo Cheng was killed by Ming Dong in the Neptunean Divine Palace, he confronted him for the death of his disciple. However, this grudge was swiftly dismissed after he was injured by Yi Xin of the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng.

Since he was unable to kill the culprit, he decided to kill the associate that lead to his disciple's death. As such, he blames Jian Chen and thereafter chases him down all over the Saints' World using his chaos blood as his guide. The wild chase inevitably leads to Jian Chen and Kai Ya's escape, causing Azure Peng and the Solitary Sword Ancestor to go on a manhunt for Jian Chen.

It was when Jian Chen reached the Desolate Plane and Mo Tianyun retrieved his chaos blood did the hunt came to a halt. So, he then decided to destroy the Tian Yuan Clan, but was blocked by Ming Xie as a divine general. That was when Ming Dong's status as the Ninth Majesty was revealed to him, making him stop his advancements to Jian Chen and his clan.

However, when all was done, he then decided to aid the Tian Yao in his campaign against Jian Chen by giving him a Lifebound Plume. Even after learning Ming Dong’s identity and learnt that the Anatta Grand Exalt is still alive, yet he still did not give up on killing Jian Chen. As such, he wants to use the Tian Yao to kill Jian Chen. But all was turned to naught when the Heartless Child decided to intervene and foiled his plan.
