Under the big banyan tree.
The leaves rustled in the wind.
Little Ann's long hair fluttered in the wind. He suddenly meditated in silence, the light and shadow mottled on his white robe.
She suddenly opened her eyes and stood up, looking around blankly. She felt empty in her heart, as if she had lost something extremely important.
Without thinking too much, she whispered, "Qingshan?"
The only reply she got was the sound of water splashing.
…
"You!"
The Shadowed Cloud Crane King was shocked and furious at the same time. This was equivalent to slapping him in the face, treating him, a Great Daemon King, as if he was nothing.
The Feather People surrounded the Feather People King. They spread their wings and formed clouds that covered the sky. They stared at him coldly. Behind them was the majestic and beautiful City Amongst the Clouds.
Bai Jie said, "Does the Crane King want to break the thousand-year peace and start a war with the City Amongst the Clouds?"
The Shadow Cloud Crane King knew that although it had some prestige in the Cloud State, it preferred to live in seclusion. It was not the king of demons like the Banyan Tree King. It would be difficult for him to fight against the Winged Man Clan outside of the City Amongst the Clouds by himself. Moreover, he did not know the Divine Phoenix at all, so there was really no need for him to stand out. He could not help but say resentfully,
"The phoenix is a divine bird blessed by the heavens, born with the five virtues. You have committed so many unjust acts, you will definitely suffer the wrath of the heavens!"
"He is a divine bird, and we are also divine beings. It's a pity that phoenixes are already extinct. Otherwise, we would eat a few of them and extend our lifespans."
A male Winged Person said proudly, causing everyone to laugh in agreement.
The Shadowed Cloud Crane King's expression changed as a few phoenix feathers fell before his eyes. He caught them with a wave of his sleeve. On the neck of the Feather Human King, there was a white light wriggling, as if it was chewing and digesting, or like a phoenix struggling with all its might. He couldn't help but let out a long sigh. Unwilling to continue watching, he flicked his sleeves and left.
Bai Jie smiled faintly. This was the might of the Winged Human Race. Even the Ten Demon Kings of a province had to admit defeat in front of them. She then turned around and asked, "Your Majesty, are you alright?"
There was no answer, only the wriggling of the white light.
Li Fengyuan was swallowed by the white light, but in front of him was an unprecedented deep darkness. Deep pain engulfed him. It was as if thousands of needles had pierced deep into his body. The white light seemed to have substance as it squeezed and cut his feathers, flesh, and bones into pieces. They were then swallowed and digested.
He was born with a tenacious vitality. It was as if he wanted to experience this despair more clearly.
All the pride and tenacity had become weak. He could not help but ask for help.
"Eldest Father, it hurts. Save me!"
But there was no response. The pain grew deeper and deeper, coming from his heart.
"Big Old Father is no longer here. In order to save me!"
His spirit began to shatter, leaving behind only a remnant of his consciousness.
"Don't tell me … this is it?"
At the last moment, a loud voice boomed in his heart.
"No!"
That was not his voice, but the Phoenix's never-ending belief, Li Qingshan's will to fight without ceasing, his innate inheritance.
Therefore, the moment he was about to be killed, he burned up all of his vitality and entered death!
The Feather Man King's body no longer emitted spirit light. Devouring phoenixes was indeed very beneficial to his lifespan. He could clearly feel the blazing phoenix blood flowing through his body. It was filled with endless vitality, and it had gotten rid of the meaning of death. It gave him a great sense of pleasure.
Suddenly, all the vitality was extinguished, like the embers left behind by a flame.
"This …"
The white light condensed into a head again. It was still old and on the verge of death. It had lost the vitality brought by the phoenix blood, and there was a hint of fear on its face.
The thing he was most worried about had happened.
Phoenixes were not that easily digested. That was why he had chosen to suck blood slowly in the beginning. However, the situation was too urgent, and he had no other choice. He had planned to slowly eliminate the hidden danger in the future, but he did not expect this to happen.
Just as he was filled with anxiety, he realized that the spirit light was no longer dissipating. He was slightly relieved. "Looks like it worked after all. It extended my lifespan!"
However, he soon realized that something was wrong. Although the spirit light was no longer dissipating, it had started to condense in his body.
The pure, almost transparent white spirit light was like a round pearl. Suddenly, an orange flame was ignited in it.
"Rumble!"
A peal of thunder rumbled across the horizon. Suddenly, a strand of dark cloud appeared in the azure sky. It spiraled and grew, spreading rapidly.
"This is?" The Shadow Cloud Crane King suddenly turned around.
The Feather Men looked up. Bai Jie's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that the Shadow Cloud Crane King was right? Killing a phoenix would bring about divine punishment? She had never heard of such a thing.
"Your Majesty, are you alright?"
"Divine Tribulation?"
The Feather Man King looked at the sky with a hint of confusion on his face. He reacted quickly and used all his strength to extinguish the flame in his body. However, it was like trying to put out a fire. Pure white spirit light surged in wildly, fueling the rise of the flame.
The Tribulation Cloud spread rapidly in the sky. The thunder grew louder. The Feather Man King felt that his aura was locked. Although he was surrounded by the Feather Men, and the Shadow Cloud Crane King, one of the Ten Demon Kings, did not dare to offend him, he suddenly felt that he was alone in this world.
Divine Tribulation … could succeed or fail, but it could never be escaped. This was the Divine Tribulation!
The dark tribulation clouds shrouded the sky, and they were still expanding and spreading.
"Ascension Heavenly Tribulation! The Feather Man King is ascending now? No, no, it's three Heavenly Tribulations! "
The Shadow Cloud Crane King's heart skipped a beat. He thought that the Feather Man King was ascending. However, he soon realized that there were no ripples in the domain, and the color and quality of the Tribulation Lightning were not right. However, in terms of scale, the Ascension Heavenly Tribulation was probably nothing. The pressure it produced was so overwhelming that even he, who was far away, could feel the pressure.
He still did not understand. What was going on? It was not the Feather Man King who was ascending. Why was the aura locked on him, and with such great momentum? Could it be …
"Your Majesty, what is going on?" Bai Jie asked in shock.
The Feather Man King's face flushed and paled. He spat out two words with difficulty, "Nirvana!"
The Phoenix's Nirvana, rebirth from the ashes, was the prelude.
There was great terror in going from life to death. Nirvana was like extinction, even more horrifying than normal death. At the last moment, Li Fengyuan chose Nirvana, letting everything return to silence, and then igniting a new flame. It was called "rebirth".
This was naturally something that Bai Jie had never seen before.
"Nirvana!" The Shadow Cloud Crane King first exclaimed, then laughed loudly, "I told you there would be divine retribution. This is the cycle of karma and retribution!"
Actually, no one present would have guessed that the Phoenix's Nirvana was a legend in the Nine States.
The original Phoenix's Nirvana was not an Innate Magical Power, but an innate ability of the Phoenix.
Li Qingshan's Phoenix bloodline was not complete. Moreover, it was a mixture of multiple bloodlines, and it was not pure enough, which was why it became a Magical Power. It was repeated and superimposed. He sacrificed all other abilities to strengthen the Phoenix's most powerful ability to the extreme.
And at this moment, as the only Phoenix in this world, it was showing its true Nirvana.
"I did it?!"
In that bit of flame. His new consciousness was filled with surprise. This was his first Nirvana in his life. Comparing it with the knowledge of the Phoenix inheritance, he immediately realized that the current situation was a bit strange. He did not turn into a new Phoenix. Instead, he merged with the Feather Man King, like conjoined twins, neither could get rid of the other.
This was the result of the Feather Man King's all-out devouring, and also the special effect of the Phoenix's Nirvana. However, this was not a stable state. One of the two must completely devour the other.
Li Fengyuan's consciousness had just awakened from silence, and he was immediately suppressed by the Feather Man King, not daring to use his spiritual power. The two of them were basically one. Your power was my power, and they could only use divine thoughts to determine the winner.
Even so, the Feather Man King had an absolute advantage. Whether it was experience or power, there was no possibility of failure. Once he succeeded, he would have the Phoenix bloodline, and lifespan would no longer be a problem.
The sky suddenly lit up.
Boom!
A bolt of tribulation thunder struck the Feather Man King like a shocking dragon, and he only managed to stabilize himself after falling for almost a thousand feet.
"Such great power!" The Shadow Cloud Crane King was secretly shocked.
"Your Majesty!" The Feather Man King exclaimed in surprise, and stepped forward to help block it.
That bolt of lightning was like the first drop of rain before a storm, and it poured down violently.
"All of you, step back!" The Feather Man King only had time to say one sentence before he was drowned by the lightning.
The Feather Man King was also affected, and the lightning flickered and jumped on their bodies like chains.
They had all gone through three Heavenly Tribulations, and were not afraid of the bombardment of the tribulation thunder, let alone being affected. That was why they dared to stay here. However, the power of this Heavenly Tribulation was beyond imagination, and it made their bodies numb and difficult to bear.
And their auras made the tribulation clouds swell even more.
"Let's go!"
Seeing that the situation was not right, Bai Jie took the lead and retreated to the City Amongst the Clouds with a flash of lightning. The lightning was blocked by a translucent light screen, and the tribulation thunder only caused a few ripples on it, showing the powerful defense of the City Amongst the Clouds' great formation.
However, her expression suddenly changed. "Oh no, move the City Amongst the Clouds quickly!"
The tribulation clouds had already spread over, and their shadows covered the white palace. The Feather Men in the city woke up one after another, and they saw this scene, but they did not realize what had happened.
Arcs of lightning bounced and jumped on the white light screen, and the ripples became denser and denser.
The powerhouses of the Feather Men also reacted, and their expressions changed.
"It will be terrible if we are involved in the Heavenly Tribulation!"
"But only Your Majesty can move the City Amongst the Clouds."
"Let's push the city away!"
After making up their minds in a few words, they all flew down and pushed the City Amongst the Clouds against the lightning.
The City Amongst the Clouds moved slowly, and escaped the shroud of the tribulation clouds. Bai Jie heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, with their strength, they could even move a mountain away if they worked together. Otherwise, if the City Amongst the Clouds was involved in the Heavenly Tribulation, it would be really troublesome.
Bang!
The pure white palace shook, and the City Amongst the Clouds suddenly stopped moving.
"Something is blocking it!"
"Damn it, it's that old crane!"
On the other side of the City Amongst the Clouds, the Shadow Cloud Crane King waved his large sleeves, and raised one hand to block the City Amongst the Clouds. His crane cloak fluttered in the wind, and his eyes flashed with an ominous glint. As a dignified Monster King of the Ten Directions, how could he allow himself to be bullied so easily? Since he was so shameless, then he would turn against him!
"Use your full strength!" Bai Jie shouted, and the Feather Men exerted their strength together.
