As the Phoenix Emperor reverted to its original form and attacked with the power to burn the world, a boundless pressure came crashing down from the sky.
Yun Yang was at the center of the target and felt the immense pressure. He felt as if the entire world was leaving him with a swoosh. He was the only one left between heaven and earth, fighting against this boundless force!
A feeling of "absolutely irresistible" rose from his heart.
Of course, Yun Yang would not resign himself to his fate. With an angry roar, the purple jade flute was the first to strike, forcefully countering the Phoenix Emperor's attack. Both sides had only made slight contact, but the purple jade flute was almost completely ineffective. With a loud bang, it was sent flying back. Yun Yang was not discouraged. The Divine Edge had turned his saber into a sword. So what if he slaughtered the entire world?
The technique of slaughtering the entire world was unparalleled and its effect was obvious. As the sword light traveled, it pierced through the Phoenix Emperor's massive body like a rainbow shooting through the sun, creating a large, transparent hole that was dozens of feet wide.
However, the transparent hole only lasted for an instant before the Phoenix Emperor's body recovered.
With a loud bang, the Blade of Heaven's Will was sent flying back.
The purple jade flute's power and the Divine Edge were both defeated!
Faced with the Phoenix Emperor's flawless divine body, it could not be damaged at all!
This was out of Yun Yang's expectation as well.
The Phoenix Emperor's laughter rang through heaven and earth. "Supreme Cloud, there's a difference in power levels between you and me, like heaven and earth. Even if it's a marvelous technique that can damage my physical body, it can't shake my foundation. Use the Oceanic Suppressing Staff. Only with this staff is your last chance! "
"As you wish!"
Yun Yang did not hesitate. With a shout, he soared into the sky with the Oceanic Suppressing Staff.
As the Phoenix Emperor had said, the Phoenix Emperor's current cultivation base had already surpassed the pinnacle of this world. The difference between it and Yun Yang was an entire realm, like the difference between a Saint and a Half Saint.
A half-Saint's attack was enough to damage a Saint's physical body, but the Saint could heal it in the blink of an eye, rendering the half-Saint's efforts futile. It was similar to Yun Yang's situation when he faced the Phoenix Emperor!
As for Yun Yang, who was wielding the Ocean Suppressing Divine Staff against the Phoenix Monarch, it was just like how Yun Yang had used the purple jade flute to face off against the Supreme Saint and Half Saint experts of the three heavenly palaces. Using the immense power of the divine weapon to boost his side's lethality, he was able to fight against those of a higher level!
In spite of this, the Divine Staff of Ocean Suppressing Staff could not be as invincible as the purple jade flute had been. Firstly, the staff did not belong to Yun Yang, so it was difficult to wield it freely. Secondly, the Phoenix Sovereign was confident that as long as the staff did not hit her directly, it would not be of much use!
The Divine Staff of Ocean Suppressing Staff glowed with a misty yellow light as Yun Yang waved it.
At this moment, Dongfang Haoran and the others all forgot about the battle below. They all couldn't help looking up at the incomparable battle in the sky, the battle of the century.
He could not take his eyes off her.
Indeed, the outcome of this battle between these two people was too important!
Although they knew that Yun Yang's chances of winning were slim, they still harbored a sliver of hope.
Because there was no other way!
Moreover, the Phoenix Emperor had no other opponent in this world.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Yun Yang soared into the sky with the Divine Staff of Ocean Suppressing Staff in a heroic manner, as if he wanted to finish the battle in one fell swoop!
On the contrary, the Phoenix Emperor who was swooping down from the sky was rather wary. Not only was his movement not as aggressive as it was initially, it was a little more sluggish. There was even a lack of decisiveness in his response.
Those who were watching the battle were the pinnacle experts of this world. Naturally, they had sharp eyes, so how could they not see that the Phoenix Emperor was holding back? Once Yun Yang's Divine Staff of Ocean Suppressing Staff retaliated, the Phoenix Emperor would evade immediately and not face the attack head-on.
In the next moment, however, Yun Yang swung his arm to attack …
The Phoenix Emperor instinctively wanted to tear the space apart to evade, but he realized that while the Divine Staff of Ocean Suppressing Staff was in Yun Yang's hand, it was only in his hand. Yun Yang's wave was a bluff; there was no actual movement.
"Supreme Cloud!" The Phoenix Emperor guffawed. "You're exhausted. How dare you expose your weakness! How sad!"
Yun Yang snorted coldly and waved his arm again, as if he was about to attack.
However, the Phoenix Emperor did not move this time, his gaze fixed on the Divine Staff of Ocean Suppressing Staff.
If the Divine Staff of Ocean Suppressing Staff did not move, he would not move either!
As expected, Yun Yang still did not attack with the Divine Staff of Ocean Suppressing Staff. It was still a bluff.
The Phoenix Emperor felt relieved that he had seen through Yun Yang's capabilities. Just as he was about to taunt him, something unexpected happened …
Yun Yang waved his arm again.
A palace suddenly and inexplicably fell from the sky!
In an instant, the sight was filled with gold and jade, illuminating the endless mountains and rivers!
The palace appeared almost out of thin air, enveloping the Phoenix Emperor entirely within it!
With a loud bang, the palace expanded rapidly and landed on the ground like a falling meteor.
It trapped the Phoenix Emperor firmly within it.
At this moment, even Dongfang Haoran and the other pinnacle experts were sent flying from the ground.
At such a time, Yun Yang only wanted to succeed with a single strike. How could he care about the severity of his attack?
Before the people who were sent flying could be surprised, they were already shocked by an even greater shock!
The glorious palace that had enveloped the Phoenix Emperor had expanded to dozens of miles in size. There was a huge plaque on the palace's entrance, with three words written on it – Residence of Nine Supremes!
There was no need to explain. This palace must be Yun Yang's natal artifact!
It was just that it had never made a move before, not even appearing in front of anyone!
Perhaps, only Dongfang Haoran and the other three rulers had seen the Residence of Nine Supremes' palace. When the Residence of Nine Supremes was promoted to an upper-class Celestial Luck Banner, they had seen the form of a small house and had speculated about its power. Now that their speculation was confirmed, they could not help but be overjoyed.
Yun Yang still had a trump card!
The rest of the human experts were struck with the same realization. "So … this is the real reason why Yun Yang named his sect the Residence of Nine Supremes!"
Yun Yang had always had the Residence of Nine Supremes.
This was … the real Residence of Nine Supremes!
…
The Residence of Nine Supremes enveloped the Phoenix Emperor!
Within the Residence of Nine Supremes, the Phoenix Emperor's incessant roars of rage could be heard!
When the Residence of Nine Supremes landed on the ground, the massive Residence of Nine Supremes was shaking violently at all times. It was even moving and leaping, causing the ground to rumble incessantly as countless cracks spread far and wide on the ground.
Obviously, the Residence of Nine Supremes could not completely trap the Phoenix Emperor.
This was something that everyone could see.
After the Residence of Nine Supremes made its move, Yun Yang immediately kept the Ocean Suppressing Divine Staff away. Like a flash of lightning, he descended from the nine heavens. The Divine Edge in his hand moved rapidly, turning into a giant saber thousands of feet long. He charged into the demonic army and began a massacre!
The saber light shimmered, shrouding thousands of feet in its radiance!
How could Yun Yang not know that although the Residence of Nine Supremes' power was extraordinary, more powerful than the purple jade flute and even the Divine Edge, it was still not enough to trap the Phoenix Emperor. At most, it could only trap her for a moment before she broke free.
The Phoenix Emperor's current level was too high!
To be honest, if he had not run out of tricks, Yun Yang would never have used this last trump card. The Residence of Nine Supremes was the memory of him and his brothers' reunion. In Yun Yang's heart, its symbolic meaning was greater than its practical value. Using it to trap the enemy, especially against an expert like the Phoenix Emperor, might cause the Residence of Nine Supremes to be permanently damaged. This was not what Yun Yang wished to see!
However, he had no other choice.
What Yun Yang needed now was only time!
The only thing he needed was time!
As long as he gathered enough karmic Qi, he would be able to fight at the very least!
Unlike now, he was only a lamb waiting to be slaughtered!
Time!
Only time!
Even if it was a single breath, a single inch!
At this moment, the Endless Divine Art was sufficient for a breakthrough, but the karmic Qi was still slightly lacking!
The third echelon of the demonic race had opened up a path for Yun Yang, giving him another chance, or rather, a turning point!
Yun Yang moved like a bolt of lightning, landing at the densest point of the Demonic Race's army. His saber turned into a blinding radiance, and in the blink of an eye, tens of thousands of saber energy surged out in three different directions!
As the saber light passed by, countless heads leaped up and hung high in the air, not falling for a moment. Yun Yang, however, did not seem to see it. Still holding his saber, he continued to move forward like a god of death, covering tens of thousands of feet with each move.
Swinging his saber, the first seven styles of Saber Truth: Destiny Blade were unleashed like bolts of lightning. Wherever Yun Yang went, it was as if the sun had exploded and a meteor had exploded!
Bursts of ghostly wails and howls rang out one after another. The Yellow Spring Path spread out abruptly, and the Gate of Yin and Yang opened abruptly. The sea of blood was boundless, and the mountain of bones towered above!
Yun Xiuxin and the others stared in shock at the mountain of corpses and blood in front of them. The enemies whom they had fought desperately but failed to kill just now were annihilated by Yun Yang's saber as easily as crushing dry weeds and smashing rotten wood. Moreover, it was a large number of them!
What kind of power was this? What kind of cultivation base was this?
Behind Yun Yang and to his left and right were scenes that looked like hell, but he did not stop. Moving at lightning speed, he was already hundreds of thousands of feet away in the blink of an eye. Everywhere it passed, heads flew into the sky everywhere it passed, and it seemed like an endless wave that rose and fell.
For a moment, broken limbs flew in the air, and before the blood could sink into the ground burned by the Phoenix Emperor just now, it had already gathered into a river!
In less than a hundred breaths' time, Yun Yang had rushed all the way and covered a distance of seventy thousand feet!
The number of souls killed by his saber had suddenly increased by more than a million.
It was at this moment that an unprecedentedly loud bang rang out behind him. With a loud boom, the entire continent seemed to be shaking.
Yun Yang felt a jolt in his heart. He hurriedly swung his saber for the last time, tearing the space apart and returning to his original position!
The moment he broke out of the spatial rift, he didn't even look back. The Divine Will Blade turned into a gale and lightning again, like a torrential torrent of saber light, rushing toward the Phoenix Emperor who had just broken out of the spatial rift. He laughed loudly, "Phoenix Emperor, this saber is to welcome your escape!"
The Residence of Nine Supremes, which had turned into countless fragments, converged in the air, turned into a stream of light, and re-entered Yun Yang's deific consciousness space.
The Residence of Nine Supremes was the magical artifact that Yun Yang had placed his mind on, and it was connected to his life. Although its power was limited by Yun Yang's cultivation base, as long as Yun Yang's origin was not exhausted, there was room for it to be rebuilt. Just like now, when it was violently blown up by the Phoenix Emperor, it seemed to be broken and completely destroyed, but it was only severely injured. It returned to Yun Yang's deific consciousness space, but it needed a long time to recuperate and could not be used again in a short time.
Although the Residence of Nine Supremes was blown up by the Phoenix Emperor, it had bought Yun Yang more than a hundred breaths' time, which was very precious and important!
When the Residence of Nine Supremes returned to Yun Yang's deific consciousness, a furious Phoenix Emperor was left behind!
"You're courting death!"
The Phoenix Emperor had just broken free, and what welcomed him was a torrent of saber light. Without thinking, he raised his hand and swung his sword!
The sword in the Phoenix Emperor's hand was condensed from the Fire of Nirvana, and it was this weapon that had blown up the Residence of Nine Supremes just now!
Now, it clashed with Yun Yang's saber light once again!
Another loud explosion rang out, and the Phoenix Emperor staggered backwards. Every step she took created a large hole in the ground, and then countless cracks spread out in all directions along this large hole!
Yun Yang's condition was even worse. With a loud cry, he spat a mouthful of blood and tumbled upwards, rolling endlessly towards the sky.
A gust of wind and cloud seemed to respond to his summons, shrouding Yun Yang within it.
The dense karmic energy of killing over a million Demon Clan creatures within a hundred breaths formed a faint gray stream of air that could almost be seen by ordinary people, disappearing into the sky at an extremely fast speed.
The Phoenix Emperor howled and soared into the sky, tearing the wind and clouds apart. He stood tall in the sky, but he could not see Yun Yang's current location or any traces of his whereabouts. He could not help shouting angrily, "Supreme Cloud! Come out! "
With a glance, he could see the entire situation. How could he not see the tragic sight of the demon army?
It was a hellish sea of blood and mountains of corpses, hundreds of thousands of feet in circumference!
The neatly arranged saber marks were like the result of a single move. The Phoenix Emperor was instantly enraged. He had only been sealed for a hundred breaths' time at most, but Yun Yang had actually created such a tragic massacre!
Tens of millions of lives were lost in an instant!
"Supreme Cloud!"
The Phoenix Emperor laughed angrily. "Your concealment technique is impressive. I couldn't find you in my haste. So what if you're good at it? You can kill the demon race, can't I slaughter the human race?"
Before his words echoed in the air, the Phoenix Emperor stopped searching for Yun Yang in the sky. Instead, he turned around and charged towards the human race with the Nirvana Flame that could burn heaven and earth.
It had to be said that the Phoenix Emperor's action had caused the current situation to take a sharp turn. The Phoenix Emperor's ability was terrifying, far above Yun Yang's, but Yun Yang had Emmie, deific consciousness space, and manifestation powers. He could not face the Phoenix Emperor head-on, and he had many trump cards that could save his life.
It was impossible for the Phoenix Emperor to kill Yun Yang completely.
The Residence of Nine Supremes' mystical treasure earlier was proof, but what truly terrified Yun Yang was that the Phoenix Emperor had abandoned him and charged towards the human race's defense line. It was almost foreseeable that once both sides came into contact, even if the human race's defense line still had four rulers, Ji Lingxi, Shangguan Lingxiu, and the elites from the Nine Supremes Palace, it would all be useless. The human race would collapse instantly with heavy casualties!
This was something that Yun Yang absolutely did not want to see and had to avoid. Just now, Yun Yang had used the Residence of Nine Supremes to trap the Phoenix Emperor for a hundred breaths' time because he felt that he had no better way to deal with the Phoenix Emperor. The advancement of the Endless Divine Art was imminent, and it had coincided with the arrival of the third echelon of the demon race's army. That was why he had decided to take the risk and attack the demon race's army. Unfortunately, things did not go according to plan. The Endless Divine Art had not been successfully upgraded. Instead, it had made the Phoenix Emperor realize that attacking the human race's defense line was the best strategy at the moment!
At this moment, even if Yun Yang had appeared to intercept it, the Phoenix Emperor would not have changed his course of action. After all, being entangled by Yun Yang was not as worthwhile as Yun Yang taking the initiative to intercept it. He could even eliminate a large number of human elites, so why not?
Seeing that the situation had taken a turn for the worse, Dongfang Haoran and the others had decided to step forward and stop the Phoenix Emperor with their lives. Just as they were about to self-detonate and die, something unexpected happened again.
Yun Yang roared.
"Hold him back!"
"Jiji!"
With a sharp chirp, a tiny fiery-red figure appeared from thin air. With a speed faster than lightning, it charged towards the Phoenix Emperor, who was engulfed in the raging flames of nirvana, before Dongfang Haoran and the others could.
In an instant, the fiery-red Jiji charged into the flames of nirvana.
Then, it burst into flames.
Ji Lingxi gasped in shock, her eyes wide and round.
This tiny thing that had followed Yun Yang since he was in Tianxuan Continent had dived into the flames of nirvana like a moth to a flame, burning along with the flames.
This was not surprising at all. The flames of nirvana were said to be invincible. Otherwise, it would not be a big deal for Jiji to burn itself.
What made everyone's eyes widen was …
In the flames of nirvana that claimed to be able to burn anything, Jiji's tiny body did not burn into nothingness. Instead, it grew bigger and bigger.
The terrifying flames of nirvana were like the best nutrients for its growth.
It was obviously absorbing the flames of nirvana into its body as it burned, making it part of itself.
The tiny body grew bigger as it absorbed the flames of nirvana.
The Phoenix Emperor was shocked by the change as well.
He had long known of the existence of this strange bird and had interacted with it before. He had even thought of devouring it when the opportunity presented itself.
But the situation in front of him was still far beyond his expectations!
The Phoenix Sovereign's Flame of Nirvana now was different from what it used to be. It was the Flame of Nirvana that had been enhanced by the boundless power of the Apocalypse Tome. The Phoenix Sovereign had endured the Demonic Sovereigns' self-detonation attack previously and its shattered body had mostly relied on the enhanced Flame of Nirvana. Even the instantaneous recovery of the Phoenix Sovereign's injuries when it fought Yun Yang just now was partly due to the Flame of Nirvana!
However, the flames of nirvana did not burn a single bird to death. Instead, it had become nutrients for its growth. It was unbelievable!
The Phoenix Emperor was puzzled and could not help but focus more attention on Jiji. As the two of them were closer to each other, the Phoenix Emperor unconsciously noticed something that no one else had noticed.
As it absorbed the flames of nirvana, Jiji's appearance gradually changed. Its ugly body, which did not have many strands of hair on its body, gradually became plump. A chicken's head, a swallow's jaw, a snake's neck, a turtle's back, and a fish's tail gradually appeared …
The feathers all over his body grew out bit by bit like rising flames. On his head, the first three feathers that grew out turned into a fluffy crown, like a crown, emitting a strange red luster.
The long feathers that grew on its tail and wings naturally formed strange patterns. As they swayed in the wind, they looked like rising flames that danced in the air …
Logically, Jiji absorbing so much nirvana's flames was not only illogical, it was also harmful to the Phoenix Emperor. The Phoenix Emperor should have kept the flames of nirvana long ago and not give Jiji the chance to absorb them. He should have continued attacking the human race's defense line!
However, what was strange was that the Phoenix Emperor had no intention of keeping the flames of nirvana. It was stunned for a moment before it allowed the flames of nirvana to be consumed. It did not do anything else.
She only stared at Ji Ji without blinking for a moment.
It stared at Jiji, who was dancing gracefully in the nirvana's flames without blinking. The expression on its face gradually became dull!
Slowly, the color of Jiji's body changed from a fiery red to a riot of colors that reflected off each other!
Originally, everyone felt that the true form of the phoenix was the most beautiful bird in the world.
Colorful lights shone brilliantly, looking magnificent and magnificent.
However, everyone who saw the colorful feathers on Jiji's body came to the same conclusion: Compared to the colorful radiance of the Phoenix Emperor, Jiji's riot of colors was even more beautiful and gorgeous.
Although the feathers of the Phoenix Clan were colorful and beautiful, that was under the situation where there was no comparison. Now, with Ji Ji's natural feathers, the colorful feathers of the Phoenix Clan were even more messy, and the difference between them was clear!
Just by standing in the air, Jiji was already filled with the aura of a king, as if it was the best!
That kind of indescribable elegance and grace made one dazzled and dazzled, and an impulse to worship him arose in one's heart!
Although Jiji had yet to fully take shape, its splendor was already on display.
How … how was it ugly?
It was the most beautiful bird in the world!
As Jiji grew larger, the speed at which it absorbed the nirvana's flames became faster and more ferocious. The Phoenix Emperor, who had been watching Jiji's changes, looked more and more fanatical, more and more infatuated.
The way he looked at Jiji was like he was looking at a peerless treasure. Nothing else in this world could enter his eyes!
The Phoenix Emperor was not the only one who fell into such a state. Countless experts of the phoenix clan stared at Jiji in the air with infatuation in their eyes, their faces filled with fascination and yearning …
Finally …
The Phoenix Emperor's mind cleared and he blurted out, "Phoenix? This is a real phoenix?! "
He looked at Jiji with his mouth agape and roared in disbelief, "How did a real phoenix become Supreme Cloud's pet?!"
Everyone who heard this felt a roar in their heads, and a feeling of dizziness filled all their senses.
Phoenix?
This ugly little bird that had always been by Yun Yang's side was actually a real phoenix?
The Phoenix Emperor had spent so much effort to activate the Strategy of Annihilation and planned this shocking plan for forty thousand years. His ultimate goal was to return to his origin and transform into a pure-blooded phoenix!
Looking at the little fellow that was happily and comfortably swimming in the sea of fire, everyone felt that their brains were not enough to process what was going on.
The Phoenix Emperor only felt that at this moment, her mind was completely blank!
How could it be a phoenix? How could it be a real phoenix?
"Then … you … what is that …" The Phoenix Emperor did not know how to address the phoenix. He stammered and suddenly asked loudly, "Then … Phoenix, why are you in this world?"
Jiji lifted its head and glanced at him in an unusually arrogant manner. It then lowered its head to tidy the beautiful feathers that had just sprouted on its body.
'I can't be bothered with you!
I'd better absorb this pure energy quickly. '
'It's rare that there's such an idiot here. I'm absorbing his energy with all my might, but he doesn't retract the Flames of Nirvana, allowing me to absorb it instead … He's so stupid, such an idiot!'
'Besides, how would I know what he's asking?'
'How would I know why I'm in this world?
It was master who brought me here! '
The Phoenix Emperor said angrily, "Why aren't you talking? Answer me! "
Jiji lifted its head elegantly and looked at the Phoenix Emperor. It opened its mouth and called out, "Jiji …"
The Phoenix Emperor almost tumbled down from the sky.
This ancient divine beast actually didn't know how to speak?
How did it say that?
Vaguely, the Phoenix Monarch suddenly recalled that as a top-notch Divine Beast, the purer a being was, the more difficult it was for the Phoenix Monarch to grow up. This was especially so when they were still in their infancy stage. They didn't have the ability to speak, and even their basic battle prowess was mediocre. They weren't much different from a newborn chick. In fact, they weren't even as adorable as a newborn chick!
Recalling Jiji's previous appearance, it was like a "feathered phoenix was not as good as a chicken"!
Then, this little phoenix in front of it was still in its infancy?!
The Phoenix Emperor stared at Jiji, its eyes suddenly shooting out a look of greed.
In this world, there was no true top divine beast, the Phoenix race. The so-called Phoenix race were all those with impure bloodlines!
Which meant … in this world, there was only this little fellow, the only pure-blooded phoenix bloodline!
Although the bloodline in its body was pure, its abilities were low. At least, it was something that it could touch!
If it swallowed it … and absorbed its bloodline for its own use … then wouldn't that be …
A wish of ten thousand years would come true in a day!
The more it thought about it, the hotter it felt.
The covetous light in his eyes could no longer be concealed.
Jiji had been paying attention to the Phoenix Emperor's movements, so it naturally sensed the Phoenix Emperor's sudden evil intentions. However, it was not surprised. After all, they were originally enemies. It was already very stupid and kind for the Phoenix Emperor to only feel enmity and malice towards it now. It flew up in the Flames of Nirvana and turned its head to look at the Phoenix Emperor. A strong aura emanated from its body!
It was an innate aura that belonged to a superior divine beast!
The Phoenix Emperor felt a sense of weariness that came from the bottom of its heart. It instinctively wanted to kneel down and submit!
It was as if its soul had been intimidated and suppressed.
However, he immediately flew into a rage. If it was an adult Divine Beast in front of me, I would have accepted it. However, you're just a young Phoenix that relied on my Nirvana's Flame to become strong, and now you actually want to turn around and threaten me?
The Phoenix Emperor howled at the sky in rage, its aura increasing abruptly.
Then, with a swift movement, it grabbed at Jiji.
With a flash of fire, Jiji was already thousands of miles away.
Jiji's combat power was not easy to judge, but its speed was second to none among Yun Yang's pets. Even Yun Yang himself could not match up to it. Sensing the Phoenix Emperor's evil intentions, it was already ready to strike. Now that it was a pure-blooded phoenix fledgling, its speed had naturally increased. Even if the Phoenix Emperor launched a surprise attack, it would still be futile.
"Jiji …"
Jiji's cries were filled with rage.
The knowledge that came from the script source told him that the silly girl in front of him was an exiled, abandoned fellow with an impure bloodline. Yet, such a fellow actually dared to attack the noble Phoenix Emperor? This was a great humiliation!
This was a crime of great disrespect!
I'll punish you!
The Phoenix Emperor pursued relentlessly, arriving in front of Jiji in an instant. Its murderous intent did not diminish but increased instead.
Jiji extended its wings angrily and rebuked, "How dare you attack me?!"
The Phoenix Emperor ignored it, its large palm locking the space between heaven and earth. With a swoosh, it grabbed over and pecked at the Phoenix Emperor with a furious cry.
Poof!
The Phoenix Emperor grunted as a small hole was pecked into its large palm.
A piercing pain shot through the Phoenix Emperor. It looked over in shock. This hand that could even block Yun Yang's Divine Edge could not withstand a peck from Jiji's tiny beak?
Moreover, its Fire of Nirvana could not heal this little bit of damage. Was this the damage that originated from the pure bloodline of its own race?
The Phoenix Emperor was inexplicably shocked, but the injury it had suffered was extremely light. Even though it was difficult to heal instantly, it was not a serious problem. Instead, Jiji's peck made it dizzy from the recoil of the giant palm.
It cried out, "Jiji …"
I can't beat it!
I can't punish it!
I have to run quickly!
With a swoosh, a red line traveled thousands of miles away, circling the entire battlefield at an indescribable speed.
The Phoenix Emperor pursued relentlessly, its speed increasing and its aura growing more terrifying.
Jiji cried out in panic.
Master!
Master, where are you?
You asked me to come out and stop it, but I've already stopped this fellow a few times. Why aren't you coming out yet?
I'm about to be caught …
This despicable bird!
You actually want to eat me, Jiji? Dream on!
…
Jiji did not know that Yun Yang had already entered a mystical state and did not have the time to care about it.
Yun Yang, who had no time to care about anything else, was at the delicate moment of his cultivation base advancement. The eighth stage of the Endless Divine Art that he had been looking forward to was finally completed under the watering of the sea of karmic qi that surged in like a tidal wave …
It had broken through!
Emmie's eighth leaf grew from a sharp sprout in one go. As it grew, it turned into a gigantic lotus leaf in the blink of an eye.
Emmie, which had been crying out anxiously earlier, had stopped now, returning to silence. It stood quietly, scurrying upwards with all its might …
What was it doing?
Leaping up …
Emmie's entire plant was trembling.
Finally, finally, the eighth leaf of the Lotus of Endless Fate bloomed perfectly. From a tender green, it quickly turned into a dark green. The thick leaf fluttered like a huge umbrella.
And at the center of the leaf, a tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny, tender tip appeared again just like before …
It was the embryonic form of the ninth leaf.
A large amount of Karmic Energy was still surging into the ninth leaf, but it was obvious that no matter how much Karmic Energy surged into the ninth leaf, the ninth leaf wouldn't react quickly. After all, the Karmic Energy required for the ninth leaf to grow was 10 times that of the eighth leaf!
In other words, if the final war between humans and demons were to be launched another ten to twenty times, with billions of lives being slaughtered each time and Yun Yang having to do it himself, only then could the ninth leaf bloom!
That was only a possibility. After all, the demon sovereigns were the pinnacle experts of this world who had grown up after tens of thousands of years. Without them, no matter how great the final war between humans and demons was, the quality would be greatly reduced. Be it in terms of scale, quantity, or quality, the karmic qi would be greatly reduced …
Fortunately, the eighth leaf that had bloomed now was enough to deal with the current crisis. As for when the ninth leaf would bloom, that was something to be discussed in the future!
On the leaf.
A thick aura quietly left and circled once in the air before it flew back into Yun Yang's deific consciousness like a tired bird returning to its nest.
Yun Yang only felt a wave of dizziness before a lot of things were added to his mind …
At the same time, an endless amount of spiritual energy poured into his meridians in a way that resembled the Milky Way pouring down in torrents.
The previous round of killing and the exchange of blows with the Phoenix Sovereign had depleted his mystical Qi that had recovered to less than forty percent. His meridians and dantian, which were almost depleted, were instantly filled to the brim by the influx of spiritual Qi.
The series of twinkling stars in his meridians dimmed before they began to twinkle and expand rapidly …
Then, Yun Yang felt his meridians shatter.
The shattering could be considered a shattering of cognition, but it was not as if they had truly ceased to exist. They had transformed into another form of existence.
The tiny stars swam in his body, following the circulation route of the Endless Divine Art. Each time they swam, they would digest and absorb an endless amount of energy before they were filled up again. The cycle repeated itself.
A few lines of incantations appeared clearly in his mind.
Endless life, the secret of primordial chaos; Yin and Yang, life and death, the meaning of creation; heaven as heaven, earth as earth; the three thousand ways of Dao, from today onwards …
Waves of enlightenment rose in Yun Yang's heart.
Following his epiphany, he entered a state where he forgot himself and everything else, transcending heaven and earth.
He had no idea that his meridians were shattering and reforming over and over again. He didn't even know that at this moment, what was rushing into his meridians was the eternal Creation Qi that countless cultivators had dreamed of since ancient times!
His meridians were occupied by the stars, circulating ceaselessly.
His entire body was like a miniature universe at this moment. Countless stars, rising and falling as the sun rose and the moon set or shifted, floated within him. Each star was filled with exuberant vitality …
Mountains, rivers, mountains, suns, moons, stars, all sorts of heaven and earth treasures, spiritual herbs, and treasures appeared in his deific consciousness space … The entire space of his deific consciousness gradually extended as if there was no end to it …
Endless Qi of creation, congenital Qi, primordial Qi … surged into the space of his deific consciousness like a tsunami.
Slowly, the air cleared up; the sky grew higher while the ground grew thicker …
The shape of a small world was taking shape bit by bit, and in an extremely short period of time, it was approaching perfection …
During this period of time, Yun Yang understood many things, or rather, he understood too much.
Why did humans have to live and die?
Why did they have to have emotions?
Why did they have to have a world? Why did they have to have everything in heaven and earth?
Why did they have to have the sun, the moon, and the stars?
Why, why?
He had found the answer to all these questions. Or rather, he had obtained the answer during this process of ascension.
He had floated in the river of time. He seemed to have witnessed too much and experienced too much …
In just a short moment, he seemed to have experienced the entire process from the beginning of heaven and earth to the end of time …
"So, this is the path of martial arts!"
"So, this is my world, the world that I'm about to create!"
Thoughts after thoughts rose in Yun Yang's mind.
"So, this is the truth behind the so-called 'one flower, one world' … So, there's a complete universe in everyone's body … a complete world!"
"Everyone's body is a unique treasure. It all depends on whether you can dig this treasure out and develop it …"
"This is the Dao!"
"The beginning of man, the beginning of Dao. The Dao is with me, I am the Dao!"
Following the breakthrough of his cultivation method and understanding of the path of cultivation, Yun Yang's cultivation base grew rapidly in a terrifying manner. Every moment, it grew exponentially, but he did not feel uncomfortable at all.
It felt like everything was going according to plan, as if everything had been prepared for a long time.
All he had to do was wait for the final step, and everything would be a smooth sailing!
With the breakthrough of the Endless Divine Art to the eighth stage, the eight leaves appeared in their most complete form, in an extremely perfect state. Yun Yang's Divine Edge underwent a fundamental change as well.
A greyish glow melted into the Divine Edge in an almost mystical way.
As the Divine Edge absorbed the greyish glow bit by bit, it kept changing its color.
It flickered hundreds, thousands of times in an instant …
However, it soon returned to its original state.
When the Divine Edge's transformation was over, no matter how carefully one observed, one could not see any change in the Divine Edge or any difference from before. But once he started using it, he would immediately know that the sharpness of the Blade of Heaven's Will had reached an extremely terrifying level!
Compared to before, it was at least a world higher!
It was a difference that was even greater than the distance between heaven and earth!
…
Yun Yang heaved a long sigh of relief as the thing he had been anticipating and waiting for the most had finally arrived.
The Divine Edge, the eighth form.
It was still the same style and two styles – Boundless Dao; Saber Cleaves Primordial Chaos!
It was finally here!
In his mind, a person wielding a long saber danced with it.
Streaks of cold lightning seemed to point to a never-ending path of Dao. As for the other saber strike, it sliced a chaotic world in half.
Above was the sky, and below was the earth!
Although it was only a moment, Yun Yang felt that he had been cultivating these two saber forms for hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of years in this mysterious atmosphere!
He slowly opened his eyes, yet to his astonishment, he noticed that he was still in the state of a cool breeze. Hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of years had passed, and he was still at the core position of the final battle between the human and demon races, and he was at a position not too far away from the Phoenix Emperor!
Yun Yang reverted to his true form with a shake of his body and looked down with his eyes wide open.
The first thing that came into view was Ji, who was fleeing frantically, and the Phoenix Emperor, who was pursuing it relentlessly. The distance between the two was shrinking bit by bit, gradually closing.
Ji changed its direction constantly, but as the chase went on, its trajectory was gradually grasped by the Phoenix Emperor. Not only was it unable to widen the distance between them, but the slight pause every time it changed its direction caused the distance to shorten even more.
Ji cried out in agony, its voice heart-wrenching.
Help me …
Yun Yang frowned.
This was because he noticed that the Phoenix Emperor's terrifying speed and terrifying strength were actually … mediocre in his eyes? Could it be that he had improved too much?
He appeared in the air and stood tall. With a single thought, he was already behind Ji Ji and in front of the Phoenix Emperor.
Seeing that its savior had appeared, Ji Ji stopped running. With a long cry, it turned into a ray of red light and landed on Yun Yang's shoulder. One of its wings stretched out, pointing at the Phoenix Emperor like a finger as it chirped at Yun Yang.
It was obviously complaining.
Ji Ji meant that it was furious!
Master, this despicable lowly creature actually dares to chase after me! This is treason, he deserves to die! Teach him a lesson for me quickly!
Yun Yang could not help but chuckle.
Ji Ji was still chirping like a bird, but Yun Yang could already understand what it was saying.
He held Ji Ji in his palm and chuckled. "I didn't know that you were born so pretty. To think that you've always been so ugly … There were a few times when I wanted to throw you away!"
Ji Ji proudly chirped, "Ji Ji …"
I am a phoenix! A real phoenix! A pure-blooded Phoenix Emperor? How could it be ugly? How am I ugly?
So what if you're my master? It's your eyes that have a problem!
Throw me away?
Try throwing me away!
I'll hit you with my butt!
"Phoenix? You're actually a phoenix? "Yun Yang was stunned.
"You're a phoenix, a pure-blooded phoenix. How did you end up in Tianxuan Continent?"
Yun Yang did not understand.
That fellow Dong Tianleng had actually given him a phoenix back then?
Furthermore, it was such an ugly phoenix?
Recalling how this fellow had looked like a bald chick in boiling water, Yun Yang's mind was a mess.
There was a reason why a featherless phoenix was inferior to a chicken!
Recalling how Jiji had behaved back then, Yun Yang felt as if he had just been enlightened.
It was truly inferior to a chicken!
