The 12 swords hovered in the air, forming a shocking sword formation. Waves of mysterious Daoist rhymes descended from the sky, enveloping an area of a few miles and trapping Daoist Withered Cloud.
The second stage of the Four Seasons Sword Formation, the Twelve Moons Sword Formation!
"This is a sword formation!"
"Brat, I didn't expect you to have so many tricks up your sleeves. But, you're just a Combat King warrior. Even if you have a sword formation, what can you possibly do to me?"
"Break!"
Daoist Withered Cloud growled. Then, he raised his hand and a gloomy and overbearing Daoist Rhyme erupted. Black flames surged in all directions.
However, the Daoist Rhymes of the sword array circulated, and a piercingly cold Sword Qi whizzed out like a cold wind in the cold winter.
Under this Sword Qi, the black flames were continuously disintegrating.
"Playing with fire, huh?" Chu Kuangren chuckled.
The Daoist Rhyme in the sword formation changed, and a huge sun suddenly rose up. As the light shone, rays of sword qi intertwined to form a sea of fire that surged out, burning Old Man Ku Yun's face.
"What sword array is this?! It's actually so powerful! " Old Man Ku Yun was frightened. He had seen his fair share of formations, but he had never seen a sword formation controlled by a Battle King warrior force him to such a degree.
Just like the doppelganger technique, this sword formation shocked him.
All of these abilities were beyond his comprehension.
"How could a Combat King possess such abilities? Who exactly are you?!" Elder Ku Yun stared at Chu Kuangren outside the sword formation and questioned him loudly. His eyes were filled with hatred and confusion.
"Take a guess." Chu Kuangren chuckled.
With a thought, Daoist Rhymes circulated in the sword array. Countless sword qi interweaved to form the scene of the four seasons, which kept blasting at Old Man Ku Yun.
Sometimes, it was like the spring rain, soundless and impossible to guard against. Sometimes, it was like the explosion of spring thunder, peerlessly tyrannical. Sometimes, it was like the scorching heat, raging flames burning the sky.
Sometimes, it was like the bleak autumn wind, and the Sword Qi contained a sense of melancholy. Sometimes, it was as cold and ruthless as the cold wind …
The four seasons changed, and the scenery of nature was contained within this season.
Even though Daoist Withered Cloud was a Quasi-Saint, he was still in a sorry state under the continuous attacks of the sword array and his injuries were worsening.
"I will die?"
"I, I will die at the hands of a Battle King?"
Daoist Withered Cloud was terrified at the thought of this.
He stared at Chu Kuangren, not expecting a young Battle Monarch to possess the combat strength to kill a Boundary Sage!
This was simply inconceivable!
"Who is this person?!"
Master Daoist Withered Cloud stared at the peerless white-robed Chu Kuangren. Suddenly, a thought flashed across his mind. "You're Chu Kuangren!"
"Oh, you guessed it. You're not too stupid."
Chu Kuangren chuckled.
"I should have guessed it a long time ago. With such combat strength, proficiency in swordsmanship, extraordinary looks, and that sword you have on you that looks like white jade and has an extraordinary aura, you must be Chu Kuangren!"
Daoist Withered Cloud gnashed his teeth and said.
"Now that you've figured it out, you may die in peace," Chu Kuangren said calmly. With a single thought, the sword formation's transformations reached its peak.
A surge of Sword-based Daoist Rhyme circulated and formed a colorful sword shadow within the sword formation. It contained the power of the four seasons and nature itself, and it slashed down on Master Daoist Withered Cloud.
Under this attack, Master Daoist Withered Cloud, who was already riddled with injuries, could not resist at all. All he could do was let out a cry of agony before his entire body was torn apart by the sword qi and shattered into pieces!
Even a Boundary Sage's body could not withstand such an unparalleled power!
"Return!"
Chu Kuangren patted the sword case, and the twelve treasured swords returned to him.
The power of the Four Seasons Sword Formation was stronger than he had imagined, and this was only the second stage. There were still the twenty-four solar terms and three hundred and sixty-five days. How powerful would it be once it was completed?
He walked to Master Daoist Withered Cloud's corpse and picked up the Yin and Yang Ring on the ground. After sensing it for a while, he tossed it into the Yin and Yang Ring.
"What kind of force is the Sacred Palace of Death? Why have I never heard of it in the Azure Dragon Domain? "
Chu Kuangren murmured.
Then, he remembered what Black Heaven's Third Forefather had told him a few days ago. "Unknown things, unknown lands … Could this Sacred Palace of Death be one of those unknown lands?"
Since it was an unknown land, ordinary cultivators would not know about it, so it was only natural that he had not heard of it before.
Chu Kuangren raised his hand and used the Gluttonous Devouring Technique to refine the corpse. He would not let go of the corpse even if it was dead.
Even turning one's bones into ashes would not be as ruthless as him.
The Immortal Godly Phoenix came to Chu Kuangren's side and suddenly said, "Mother, mother, you're so powerful."
"That's … What did you call me?"
The Immortal Godly Phoenix tilted her head. "Mother."
Her voice was like a seven or eight-year-old girl's. It sounded crisp and sweet, but Chu Kuangren was speechless.
"Don't call me mother."
"Ah, mother, do you not want me anymore?"
The Immortal Godly Phoenix sounded like she was about to cry. In her inherited memories, the one who hatched her was her mother.
Since Chu Kuangren hatched her, who else could it be but her mother?
"It's not that I don't want you anymore, but you can't call me mother. Call me brother. Yes, just call me brother," Chu Kuangren said.
"Brother?"
"Yes."
"Alright then, Brother Mother."
"Call me brother, don't call me mother!" After some persuasion, Chu Kuangren finally corrected the Immortal Godly Phoenix's way of addressing him.
"Alright, let's go back to the Black Heaven Sect."
"Where's the Black Heaven Sect?"
"Just follow me."
Suddenly, Chu Kuangren looked at the Godly Phoenix with a hint of hope in his eyes. "Um, Godly Phoenix, can we make a deal?"
"Go ahead, brother."
"Can I ride on you for a while?"
Chu Kuangren suddenly remembered that some experts in the cultivation world often had mounts, such as cranes, tigers, lions, and so on.
He might as well get himself a mount and try it out.
What kind of mount could be more eye-catching than the Godly Phoenix?
"Of course."
The Godly Phoenix lowered its body and gestured for Chu Kuangren to get on.
Divine beasts were born with noble horoscopes, and most of them were rebellious. Even the Emperors of Old would find it difficult to capture a divine beast as a mount.
However, to the Godly Phoenix, Chu Kuangren was different.
Although she called him brother, she treated him as her mother. It was a piece of cake for her mother to ride her.
Chu Kuangren excitedly jumped onto the Godly Phoenix's back. It was furry, warm, and more comfortable than sitting on an electric blanket in winter.
"Hold on tight, brother."
The Godly Phoenix said before it flapped its wings and flew into the sky.
…
Inside the Black Heaven Sect, various forces had arrived. They were all invited by Honorable Xuan Qi to attend the ceremony.
Among them were the various sage orthodoxies and Honorable Orthodoxies of the Azure Dragon Domain. All of them were reputable figures.
Before the ceremony, the Godly Phoenix's birth and the Myriad Bird Worship Phenomenon had shocked many people at the scene.
For a moment, everyone was discussing this matter.
However, compared to that, Honorable Xuan Qi's expression was not so good as he cursed at the communication compass.
"Kuangren, today is the day you take over. Everyone from the sage orthodoxies is here, so where have you been? Hurry up and come back."
"Honorable Teacher, I'm in a hurry to attend to something urgent. Can you hold on for a while?" Chu Kuangren said.
Honorable Xuan Qi turned off the communication compass and muttered, "This b * stard is getting more and more troublesome."
