…
The Phoenix Emperor stood in the air.
"Your Majesty." The Demon Saints bowed.
The Phoenix Emperor nodded and looked at Emperor Roc. "Brother Roc, what do you think of the battle just now?"
Emperor Roc said lightly, "There's nothing special about it. Your Majesty has your own plans. I only need to follow."
The Phoenix Emperor held his hands behind his back and said in an even calmer tone, "Brother Roc held back a lot just now. There's indeed no need to think about it."
Emperor Roc chuckled. "Why can't I understand Your Majesty's words?"
The Phoenix Emperor paced in the air and said indifferently, "I wonder if Brother Roc has any objections to the orders of the two sovereigns, Fox Emperor and Cat Ancestor?"
Emperor Roc's expression suddenly changed, and his tone returned to indifference. "I still have my original attitude. Nothing else matters! However, Brother Fox and Brother Cat can't! "
The Phoenix Emperor said coldly, "If the rebellion fails, are you going to sacrifice your brothers on the same side? I know that you are friends with the fox and the cat, but why are you so stubborn when it comes to such a big issue? "
Emperor Roc's expression was calm as he said word by word, "Firstly, they are my brothers. Secondly, Your Majesty, you know very well why Cat and Fox are like this. Don't you have a guilty conscience when you say the word 'rebellion'? "
"There's a cause and effect for everything! The culprit has never been Fox, much less Cat! "
The Phoenix Emperor said coldly, "But the others didn't betray us. Fox and the rest are now on different sides from us. This is already a fact!"
Emperor Roc sneered. "So I'm just luckier than them. We're very lucky that we weren't forced to this stage! If I were to encounter such a thing, I believe I would rebel faster than the two of them. Isn't that right? "
The Phoenix Emperor said, "So when Yun Yang broke out of the encirclement, you only watched by the side and deliberately let Yun Yang and the other two go?"
Emperor Roc mocked, "Do you think we can keep Yun Yang and the other two here if we use our full strength? Brother Phoenix, you … can't see clearly? Yun Yang is far from using his full strength. How many demons do you think will die here today if Yun Yang uses his full strength? "
The Phoenix Sovereign was silent for a moment before she said, "But today is already the first time that we have great hope. When Yun Yang broke out of the encirclement, I was helpless against the recoil, but Brother Peng's speed is the fastest in the entire demonic race. If Brother Peng had made a move, even if he couldn't keep Yun Yang, he could have kept the two ladies. With Yun Yang's attitude towards them, if they hadn't escaped, Yun Yang wouldn't have escaped alone. "
Emperor Roc calmly said, "Yes, but the price is that I have to pay is at least severely injured and on the verge of death. Furthermore, the chance of success is less than 50%. But if I were to be heavily injured, then the Fox Emperor and Cat Ancestor would lose this life-saving straw that I am. How would they be able to escape this calamity? "
The Phoenix Emperor's gaze was cold.
The Roc Emperor looked up and met the Phoenix Emperor's eyes without giving in at all. He enunciated each word clearly, "If it were a fair life-and-death battle, I would have nothing to say if they died. But now, gathering the sea to form a tide and devouring all the people of the Fox Clan, forcing the two of them to fall into a trap, struggling at death's door, and even using someone else to kill them, I will never do such a thing. I won't watch you do it either. "
"If Brother Phoenix really wants to sacrifice the Fox Emperor and Cat Ancestor, then I, along with the eagle, tiger, leopard, and condor … might have to immediately rebel against the Demon Court and fight alongside the fox and the others. If we watch them die, what awaits us will only be a similar outcome!"
He sneered coldly. "Do you think … the fox won't think of what Yun Yang is doing now? Can't he move a few mountains? Why didn't he do it? "
"He's only worried about the Demon Race's hundreds of thousands of years of wish!"
"He doesn't want to go to the extreme and would rather suffer. Now, are you the ones who want to go to the extreme?!"
Emperor Roc said coldly, "Brother Phoenix, that's all I have to say!"
Before he could finish his sentence, a whistling sound rang out. Emperor Roc soared into the sky, along with all the roc saints. They flapped their wings and flew high, instantly covering the entire sky. In the next moment, they disappeared.
Looking in the direction where Emperor Roc had left, the Phoenix Emperor stood for a long time with a complicated gaze.
After a long time …
The Phoenix Emperor stood alone in the air, his expression heavy and complicated.
After a while, the Phoenix Emperor walked slowly with his hands behind his back. He moved gently in the air, his expression returning to its calm state. However, his gaze suddenly turned cold …
Somewhere tens of thousands of feet away from the Phoenix Emperor, a demon expert flew past. There seemed to be a spatial fluctuation …
Fluctuation?
The Phoenix Emperor roared and swung his hand. With a loud bang, a black hole appeared tens of thousands of feet away, but nothing strange appeared in that spot.
The Phoenix Emperor did not relax. He teleported over and looked over with rapt attention. His left and right hands attacked at the same time, and balls of Nirvanic Flames scattered across the sky for thousands of miles!
In an instant, the entire sky was occupied by the Nirvanic Flames that could burn everything!
The Phoenix Emperor's figure was like a phantom that flashed at an extremely fast speed, constantly appearing everywhere in the sky. Wherever he passed, the surroundings would be enveloped in a sea of fire.
In the blink of an eye, the sky above the sea, tens of thousands of miles in circumference, was already filled with blazing flames that engulfed heaven and earth!
The Phoenix Emperor stood on the towering flames, his eyes still searching around. Suddenly, he smiled faintly and said, "Yun Yang, how does this Nirvanic Flames taste? What's the point of enduring it? Why don't you show yourself for a while? "
The air was silent, as if the Phoenix Emperor was merely speaking without thinking.
The Phoenix Empress moved again. Her entire body rose higher and higher as if she was ascending a heavenly ladder. Immense mental energy descended like a dome. The Nirvanic Heavenly Flames enveloped the entire area within a radius of tens of thousands of kilometers!
The flames were still burning, burning the sky, the earth, and the space. There was nothing that they could not burn.
Everything in this area was burned into black holes bit by bit. The soft sound of space shattering could be heard continuously. The Demon Race and Sea Race that were still within were burned into nothingness without exception!
This was an indiscriminate attack that covered a large area!
The unlucky Demon Race experts and Sea Race warriors who were struck by the Nirvanic Flames did not even have the time to scream before they perished.
After a while, the Nirvana Heavenly Flames had already burned everything in the area. The instant the Heavenly Flames could no longer burn anything, the vast amount of spiritual energy outside the area rushed in like a tsunami to fill the vacuum. The Phoenix Emperor's Spiritual Energy was like a hurricane, and as the vast amount of spiritual energy surged in, it blew over, and then blew back, going back and forth endlessly.
After a long time, the Phoenix Emperor finally snorted coldly and stopped moving, sensing it quietly.
Then, he smiled faintly and said, "You escaped quickly!"
With a flash, he went to the peak of one of the mountains that was being moved.
Hundreds of Demon Race experts bowed at the same time. "Your Majesty!"
The Phoenix Emperor said faintly, "Don't worry, it's fine now."
"Yes."
The Demon Race experts were relieved. The experts guarding this area had been killed by Yun Yang previously, so they were truly afraid. Now that they had the Phoenix Emperor's guarantee, they were naturally at ease and had no more doubts.
The Phoenix Emperor pondered for a moment and decided to leave seven to eight Saint-level experts behind, just in case.
"If Yun Yang comes again, there's no need to fight him to the death. Just keep him occupied and report back. Don't ask for merit, just don't make any mistakes. Remember, Yun Yang's ability is already above all of you. Avoiding battle is wisdom, not cowardice."
"Yes."
The Phoenix Emperor disappeared in a flash.
…
Yun Yang was worried about Ji Lingxi's injuries, so he did not stay any longer and returned to the Fox Palace.
Although this battle had not lasted for a long time, it had temporarily alleviated the plight of the Fox Clan. At least, the flood outside the Fox Palace had been reduced by a lot, and the water had sunk by at least a hundred feet. The lucky survivors of the Fox Clan cheered.
The Fox Emperor and the Cat Ancestor were shocked to see Yun Yang, Shangguan Lingxiu, and Shangguan Lingxiu's condition.
The three of them had been fine when they left, but when they returned, Ji Lingxi was severely injured while Yun Yang was covered in smoke and fire, with many blisters on his body. Even his hair had been singed. At the very least, he looked like he had been severely injured. Only Shangguan Lingxiu seemed to be in good condition.
"How did you end up in such a sorry state?" The Fox Emperor and the Cat Ancestor welcomed the three of them into the hall and quickly retrieved healing medicine.
"There's no need. We've consumed the healing medicine when we came back. We'll be fine after some rest …" Yun Yang exclaimed, "The Phoenix Emperor's Nirvana Flame is powerful indeed. It's beyond imagination!"
He had never expected the Phoenix Emperor to resort to such an extreme method, to destroy himself along with them.
When he left for the first time, he had relied on his wind cloud manifestation to be undetectable. It looked like he had left without a trace, but he had actually snuck back again.
What he did not expect was that his wind cloud manifestation, which rarely failed, would actually fail as well. He had almost suffered a great loss and almost could not return.
As the saying went, 'The more one ascends the mountain, the more one encounters the tiger; the more one travels the shore, the more one's shoes will be wet'!
Using the wind cloud manifestation, Yun Yang seemed to have turned into nothingness, eavesdropping nearby to spy on the Demon Race's situation. If he could aim at the Phoenix Emperor's blind spot, he would not mind giving him a vicious blow.
Yun Yang estimated that if he were to use Saber Truth: Destiny Blade and Massacre the World, Saber and Sword Union on the Phoenix Emperor alone, he could definitely injure her severely or even destroy her physical body, creating the time difference between the destruction and repetition of a saint's physical body. Combining the power of his and Emmie's deific consciousness, there was a high chance that he could further damage the Phoenix Emperor's soul.
The Phoenix Emperor had severely injured Ji Lingxi right under his nose. How could Yun Yang not be resentful? It was a great opportunity for the Phoenix Emperor to be alone, how could he not seize it?
Yun Yang's plan was well-executed, but what was unexpected was that a demon's divine sense coincidentally crossed paths with Yun Yang's when he was flying. If he did not avoid it, both of them would definitely come into contact.
At that moment, Yun Yang's state of mind crumbled.
'How can you f * cking charge straight at me in such a wide space?
Or could it be that you've seen something? '
If both of them were to come into contact, Yun Yang would still produce a certain degree of fluctuation when he was collided with such an expert, even though he was in the shapeless form of wind and cloud. Even though the fluctuation was not huge, it was like a thunderclap in the ears of a top-notch expert like the Phoenix Emperor.
Yun Yang was helpless. Choosing the lesser of two evils, he flashed away. There was only a slight fluctuation, and there were very few traces.
In spite of this, the slight trace of fluctuation was still noticed by the Phoenix Emperor. Even though Yun Yang had shifted his position immediately, how could the Phoenix Emperor allow Yun Yang to leave so easily since he had already caught hold of the fluctuation?
In particular, the Phoenix Emperor's counterattack mode greatly exceeded Yun Yang's expectations as well. It was a large area of nirvanic flame.
Then, the Phoenix Emperor chased after the fluctuation, chasing after Yun Yang's tail. Yun Yang sped all the way and finally escaped the Phoenix Emperor's deific consciousness after a few twists and turns. However, this Phoenix Emperor, who was either wise or mad, had actually launched an even larger area of indiscriminate attack!
It was an indiscriminate attack that covered tens of thousands of miles of the sky – everywhere was covered in nirvanic flame by the Phoenix Emperor!
No matter how fast Yun Yang moved, he still could not leave the area in time. Naturally, he was caught up by the flame and was engulfed in it.
It was also then that Yun Yang truly experienced the terror of the Phoenix Emperor's famous nirvanic flame. He was proficient in the art of fire and had thought that he could control the flames with fire, avoiding the flames to a large extent. He did not expect the nirvanic flame to be so omnipotent that even the fiery spark that he controlled was incinerated. However, the technique of the Nine Supremes' fiery spark was extraordinary after all. It allowed Yun Yang to forcefully resist the nirvanic flame all the way out. When he finally broke out, he was already burned like a toad.
Yun Yang heaved a sigh of relief. He had kept Shangguan Lingxiu into his deific consciousness space when he saw that the situation was not looking good. Otherwise, he did not know how Shangguan Lingxiu would be. The Phoenix Emperor had previously injured Ji Lingxi and the nirvanic flame was so formidable. Yun Yang could not be sure that the ladies' defensive mystical light could withstand the nirvanic flame.
Did they not see that his fiery spark had been incinerated? He had been roasted into … what was he supposed to do?
If his wife's beauty was ruined by this fire, how could he live …?
"Looking at your injuries, could you have met the Phoenix Emperor?"
The Fox Emperor frowned. "Why would the Phoenix Emperor be here? His nirvanic flame can burn anything … This is troublesome."
"It's alright, I have a countermeasure. I can handle it. It won't be as difficult as the Heaven Sealing Spell from before." Yun Yang could feel his face beginning to blister as well. He dared not delay any longer and said hurriedly, "I'll make this short. Let's finish up quickly. I still have to heal myself."
Since their return, Ji Lingxi's injuries had improved significantly. Yun Yang, on the other hand, was showing signs of worsening due to being burned by the nirvanic flame for a long period of time.
His skin, which was originally fine, actually showed a trend of being burned and blistered.
The fire elemental damage of the nirvanic flame was extraordinary indeed. It was like maggots in one's bones, lingering endlessly. It was indeed the Phoenix Emperor's natal flame. Even with Yun Yang's profound cultivation base and the mystical mystical skill like the Endless Divine Art to protect himself, he could not handle it on his own.
"I've eavesdropped on the conversation between the Phoenix Emperor and the others." Yun Yang's voice was urgent. "The general direction of the Phoenix Emperor's plan seems to be to lead the sea into a tidal wave, accumulating the force of water to the maximum. Then, another plan will be detonated. The Phoenix Emperor has mentioned solemnly that he wants the Sea Emperor to prepare the lives of billions of sea clan warriors. This should be the catalyst … "
Just as he spoke, the Fox Emperor and the Cat Ancestor's faces paled. Their faces were drained of color, and they looked unusually bleak.
…
"The update time is not stable anymore. Everyone should have guessed that I'm back …"
