Phoenixes were probably the rarest super magical beast in the entire world.
Their legends were spread throughout the entire world. However, there were very few actual witnesses. Phoenixes were often doubted as to whether or not they really existed, but they also became the symbol of luck.
In many myths and legends, phoenixes represented the ultimate natural phenomenon. In a way, phoenixes had a status even higher than Dragons.
The most common legend was that phoenixes were the symbol of "undying." They were the most perfect undying, with incredibly powerful regenerative abilities and elemental affinity. Phoenixes were able to revive from fire and thunder. This was a characteristic of their species that had been witnessed many times.
And in terms of research and understanding of phoenixes, it was likely that no one could compare to Marguerite.
Back in the day, in order to obtain the strongest "undying" bloodline for Adam, we hunted down a fire phoenix. That was probably the most difficult battle I had ever fought in my life. Even though I had long since prepared for it and set a trap, I still paid a terrible price.
It was precisely because of this that we were the existences that understood the phoenixes the best. After all, only enemies would dig up all information about you and completely understand your weaknesses and strengths.
"Phoenixes are actually the fluctuations of the Elemental Tide. Rather than calling them a creature, it's more accurate to call them a natural phenomenon caused by the Elemental Tide. Yes, phoenixes are a natural phenomenon. "
Perhaps this explanation was quite similar to elemental creatures, but it was foundationally different.
The gathering of fire would create fire elemental creatures. Fire elemental creatures' bodies would be formed from the gathering of countless fire elements. The rise and fall of the Elemental Tide would affect the entire world. This powerful fluctuation created elemental phoenixes.
Phoenixes were the shadow of the Elemental Tide. They were the result of the Elemental Tide's fluctuations. They didn't have a physical body. Although they were similar to elemental creatures, they surpassed elemental creatures. Phoenixes were closer to a Concept than elemental creatures. They were capable of choosing elemental creatures' powerful traits. They were so difficult to deal with in actual combat that it was disgusting.
Phoenixes were incredibly rare in number because they would only be born during the Elemental Tide's intense fluctuations. More than 70% of all phoenixes would be born during the Holy War, while 30% would be born during special times.
Waves could interfere and fuse with each other. If two elemental phoenixes of the same species were together, they would fuse and evolve. Or perhaps it should be said that they would exchange information about each other, becoming even more unified.
It could be said that there were only four phoenixes that represented the four elements in this world, but it could also be said that there were hundreds of phoenixes in this world. Each phoenix was a part of a "phenomenon". It existed when you observed it, and it could merge at any time, or it could disappear at any time.
The Fire Phoenix that we killed was just a small part of it, just an individual. Most likely, not even Main Gods would be able to completely kill a true Primordial Elemental Phoenix.
In the Great Snow Mountain Demon Realm, there was one of the most ancient elemental phoenixes. They were the rulers of ice and snow. They were born from the water element and could be said to be the most ancient ice elemental creature.
It's not that I don't know how powerful it is, but it's definitely not weaker than any Elemental Plane Master.
The Lord of Lightning before him was also a phoenix, but it wasn't the original Four Elemental Phoenix. Instead, it represented the natural phenomenon of wind giving birth to light, and it was also the most ancient light elemental lifeform.
Alright, considering Light's history, compared to the old matriarch of the Great Snow Mountain Demonic Realm, he was still a young lad.
The Lord of Lightning's very existence was the natural phenomenon of the birth of "light". However, some people viewed it as the result of fear and taboo.
Very few people would think deeply about what elements the supreme Light and Holy Light were made of since the entire world was constructed from the four elements.
Perhaps some people had truly thought about it before, but the result was either the God of Holy Light being burned at a stake or being secretly executed.
After all, the unknown was the best background for the venerated. If something could be studied under a magnifying glass, then it wouldn't be worthy of respect or belief.
However, there was actually nothing mysterious about the origin of light. Just like how the wind element gave birth to lightning, the light element was also a derivative of the wind element. Holy Light was also a variant of light. It was only natural that Holy Light would have other elements mixed in as well. After all, all matter was created from the four elements. This was the same for all composite elements.
The birth of the Lord of Lightning was proof of this fact.
The Lord of Lightning was born in the upper planes. He was born with the perfect control of light and wind. However, just his existence alone was something that the entire Holy Light Faction felt uncomfortable about.
"Light is a low-level element of the wind element? Then, in the eyes of fools, isn't light even lower than wind? "
Actually, there wasn't a direct relationship between the higher-level and lower-level elements. The so-called "upper" and "lower" were simply an extension of the order in which they were born. In fact, in most situations, the lower-level elements would be more dominant. For example, ice mages would often be able to easily defeat water mages. But sometimes, just their name alone would attract hatred and dissatisfaction.
And in the upper planes, the Holy Light Faction, which was the mainstay of the Holy Light Faction …
What happened next was quite natural. Even though the Lord of Lightning was a top-level light elemental creature, a newborn phoenix was still incredibly weak. In order to protect itself from being sealed away, the Lord of Lightning quite naturally chose to embrace Chaos.
Perhaps this would make people confused, but darkness and Chaos weren't necessarily related at all. Just like how Holy Light had chosen the Order Faction simply because it had chosen the Order Faction.
Meanwhile, the Lord of Lightning was a natural phenomenon of light that didn't have much to do with Holy Light itself. Instead, it was closer to natural phenomena such as lightning and light. It was completely possible for light to choose Chaos over Chaos.
And so, the Lord of Lightning naturally became the most wanted criminal in the entire Holy Light world. Only the lower planes would be able to protect him.
But as a light-type creature, the Lord of Lightning underestimated how chaotic the demon world was. This greatly contradicted his nature. In the end, the Lord of Lightning betrayed him and joined the devils, who were closer to Order.
Doubtlessly, even though the Lord of Lightning wasn't even 2,000 years old yet, he was still the strongest devil of the new generation. It was only natural that he would become the Devil Lord.
And since he was simultaneously despised by the demons and the upper planes, he naturally became a staunch supporter of the devils. That was because he had nowhere else to go.
It would be a bit of a stretch to say that the Lord of Lightning was arrogant. His element of light had a natural suppressive effect against other devils and demons. They weren't the same type of person. Calling him arrogant would be a bit of a stretch, but calling him arrogant would be a bit too much for a mortal to do. After all, although the Lord of Lightning had fallen to become a demon and a devil, he actually hadn't done any shocking evil deeds.
As a phoenix, he didn't need anything from the outside world. He didn't need to do anything to become stronger.
But after so many years, the Lord of Lightning was now tied to the devils' faction. When the devils were panicking, the Lord of Lightning unhesitatingly stood up for them.
In the eyes of the chaotic devils, the lightning that used to be so blinding and blinding now seemed so familiar. At the very least, the Lord of Lightning was still on the battlefield and ruling over this area.
With the Lord of Lightning as the core, a new defensive line was gradually established. Not only were the human allied armies unable to easily deal with the Lord of Lightning's multiple attacks, the only thing that remained after the lightning flashed was the Lord of Lightning's scorched black figure.
The Lord of Lightning circled in midair as blinding lightning kept flashing. His lightning punishment was currently lashing out at the entire land, forcing the human allied armies to retreat.
"Crispy chicken, face me!"
Certain existences would be incredibly sensitive to certain words. It was said that the Lord of Lightning was especially sensitive to words such as "chicken" and "hen". This time, the fairies weren't lying to me.
I instantly felt like the Lord of Lightning had locked onto me. I felt a fatal sense of danger and broke out in a cold sweat. I hurriedly flew up, but the Lord of Lightning was actually still able to chase after me even as he jumped in place.
Just a single angry glare from the Lord of Lightning created a cage of lightning in front of me. The next instant, lightning gathered on my body.
Endless amounts of lightning danced like lightning snakes. Lightning was so fast that it was impossible for me to react.
But soon, the lightning dissipated. I was still smiling as I looked at the Lord of Lightning. Just this level of lightning alone wouldn't even be able to injure me.
My mockery caused the incredibly prideful Lord of Lightning to go on a rampage.
He unhesitatingly gave up on the prey in front of him and chased after me. I had no intention of dodging the Lord of Lightning's lightning at all.
Perhaps in the eyes of others, phoenixes were indestructible. The Lord of Lightning had shown his indestructibility several times in the past. But for me, who had successfully killed the Lord of Lightning, his indestructibility was full of flaws.
"First, let's fight somewhere else."
The Lord of Lightning was already in front of me. As I stomped my feet, the entire world was replaced.
The more trump cards were used, the more they would be exposed. Previously, I had used a bug-like world to hide the elves, which could be explained as a special magical barrier. However, assassinating the Lord of Tyranny and Shupnus had doubtlessly exposed my true strength in this world. The Lord of Lightning would likely be on guard against me.
But sometimes, being able to restrict the battlefield would be an obvious advantage for existences like us.
The Lord of Lightning unhesitatingly flew higher as the entire world changed. With his rich combat experience, he immediately chose to retreat when faced with an unknown world.
"As expected, it won't be so simple …"
I could bring others into this bug-like world, but under normal circumstances, others would be able to walk to the edge and leave by themselves. With the Lord of Lightning's speed, he would probably be able to find out everything in just a few seconds.
"Stop him, Yongye City."
The black Cloud City revealed its own shadow from the dark clouds. Light gathered on the shadowy mage tower and transformed into beams of light that shot directly at the Lord of Lightning.
"Foolish mortal, you dare to challenge me with Holy Light! Lord of Lightning, the pinnacle of light! "
In response to his howl, more light cannons were fired.
The beams of light formed a net that gradually contracted and restricted the Lord of Lightning's movements. Finally, the Lord of Lightning began to carefully dodge these beams of light that weren't very powerful.
If it was anyone else, they would likely be fooled by his words. However, I had a deep understanding of phoenixes in the past, so how could I possibly be fooled by his words?
That's right, light was the phoenix's foundational magic. Normally speaking, the phoenix should have used death magic or dark magic to counter the phoenix. However, the phoenix wasn't an elemental creature. It was a phenomenon, a wave, and a shadow.
In that case, the most practical method to shatter a shadow and stop a wave wasn't to attack it with something else. That would be meaningless. It would be to use an even larger wave to "neutralize" the phoenix, and an even larger shadow to "cover" it. That was the true method we had discovered to deal with the phoenix back in the day.
This was also why I had chosen to use Holy Light to trap the Lord of Lightning.
"You cowardly chicken, if you're a rooster, come down and face me!"
If I won this time, I would really have to thank the fairies who gave me the information. I taunted the Lord of Lightning, who had clearly reached the edge of the battlefield, yet he unhesitatingly returned.
