"Fellow, let me give you another piece of advice. You killed and devoured the Winged Human King. The Winged Human King will never forget today's enmity. You are raising a tiger and inviting calamity! Wanting to be some Winged Human King is wishful thinking. "
The Shadow Cloud Crane King's words were both to sow discord and the real situation.
Li Fengyuan's eyes turned. As expected, the Winged Human powerhouses all had unconcealable hostility on their faces. Bai Chen's position in the hearts of the Winged Human King was unimaginable to outsiders.
Between the tall white towers in the City Amongst the Clouds, the Winged Human looked up in fear. The gorgeous phoenix wings were like a burning cloud, reflecting a magnificent luster.
"Mother!" A Winged Human child's face was full of fear.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid!" Mother hugged her tightly. When she looked up, her worried eyes met that pair of phoenix eyes.
Their names and even their experiences appeared in Li Fengyuan's mind. Right now, he felt a kind of closeness to all the Winged Human, as if they were his clansmen. He understood that this was the influence of Bai Chen's spiritual memories. He thought to himself, Do you want me to have more feelings for them?
He could not help but sigh. Bai Chen chose to give up everything at the last moment. Was it a great sacrifice touched by Bai Jie, or was it a helpless action after seeing that he had no hope of survival? Perhaps it was both.
Humans were not plants, how could they be emotionless?
They lived because of feelings, and they died because of feelings.
However, compared to this small 'emotional burden', the benefits Li Fengyuan obtained were incalculable. Since Bai Chen did not resist at all and allowed him to devour and melt, he practically obtained a complete spiritual inheritance. Among them were Bai Chen's seven thousand years of cultivation, as well as all his power.
This power and inheritance was so enormous that it was impossible to digest in a short time.
And if they fought to the end, even if he defeated Bai Chen by a fluke, and was lucky enough not to be struck to death by the heavenly lightning, he would only be in a state where he had just passed the third heavenly tribulation. Moreover, he would be very weak, not to mention the spiritual inheritance.
It was like two armies facing each other. The results were completely different between surrendering and fighting to the last soldier.
Seeing Li Fengyuan fall silent. He fell into deep thought.
East Lu King smiled slightly. A wise man submits to circumstances, not to mention the divine bird phoenix. And with his army pressing down, how could he allow anyone to stop him?
The White Dragon King was at the back, and the High Officials were at the front. East Lu King and Shadow Cloud Crane King. They were ready to launch a thunderous strike at any time. This was already a Nation War, not a battle of magical powers.
Li Fengyuan said, "I know how much they like Bai Chen and how much they hate me …"
"It's good that you understand."
The Shadowed Cloud Crane King heaved a sigh of relief. Unless it was absolutely necessary, he didn't want to make an enemy of the phoenix. Perhaps this was the instinct of all feathered creatures.
However, Li Fengyuan changed the topic, "But what does that have to do with me? I'm just doing what I want to do. How can I change because of other people's likes and dislikes? "
"Alright, I don't want to be your enemy, but since it has come to this, we can only fight!"
"All winged people, retreat to the city!"
Hearing Li Fengyuan's order, the Winged Men powerhouses looked at each other in dismay. Not to mention that they were unwilling to listen to the enemy's orders, there was no one to control the Cloud City's great formation. Wouldn't returning to the city be equivalent to waiting for death?
Li Fengyuan did not say much either. He was confident that he could contend against the entire Cloud Region here, and he was not just relying on his own power. Otherwise, a Shadow Cloud Crane King alone would be able to keep him busy, so how could he protect the City Amongst the Clouds?
Bai Chen had also left him a great gift, and that was the "City Amongst the Clouds".
Suddenly, the City Amongst the Clouds surged with white light. It flowed through every street like a river and gathered at the royal palace in the center of the city. A pillar of light soared into the sky and merged into Li Fengyuan's body, dyeing every one of his wings pure white as if he had turned into a white phoenix.
Bai Chen had handed over the control of the entire City Amongst the Clouds' great formation to him. Just Now, he was stalling for time in order to completely control it.
The Winged Men powerhouses looked at each other in dismay. This was an authority that only the Winged Men Kings of each generation could possess, and once they controlled the entire City Amongst the Clouds, they would practically become the Winged Men King.
They transmitted their thoughts, "What do we do now?"
"If we continue to fight, we will all die here. Or should we retreat somewhere else?"
"Shut up! As long as the city lives, we live. If the city dies, we die! If anyone dares to abandon the city and flee, he will be a traitor of the Winged Men Race, and will be punished by heaven and earth, abandoned by both humans and gods! "
"Then we can only return to the city first. This is for the sake of the Winged Men Race!"
Light flashed continuously, and more than ten rays of light flew back to the City Amongst the Clouds. The speed of the Winged Men's escape light was rarely seen, and no one could stop them in time.
"Oh no!" The East Lu King's expression changed drastically. He had originally wanted to use the City Amongst the Clouds to delay these Winged Men powerhouses, and then finally capture them all in one fell swoop. However, he did not expect the cooked duck to fly away. He shouted loudly, "Listen to me, attack the city with all your might!"
He activated the Cloud State Cauldron, the East Lu King's Golden Seal, and even the colorful clouds in the sky, pressing down on the City Amongst the Clouds.
The Cloud Shadow Crane King's crane cry reached the nine heavens, and the White Dragon King roared angrily. All the great practitioners took out their trump cards, and a torrent of power surged violently. For a moment, it seemed as if it could shake the heavens and the earth.
The light barrier of the City Amongst the Clouds was already extremely thin, and there was no way it could withstand the attack.
Li Fengyuan had already expected this. He landed in the City Amongst the Clouds and transformed into a handsome youth. He said loudly, "Success or failure depends on this. Give me your power!"
While the other Winged Men were still hesitating, the body of the mother who was carrying her child was the first to light up. Compared to hatred, she wanted to protect her child.
Specks of light lit up in the city, and the bodies of all the Winged Men — regardless of whether they were strong or weak — glowed with white light. They merged into the whistling river of light and gathered in the main hall of the royal palace.
Boom!
The City Amongst the Clouds shook violently, as if it was a lonely boat that had fallen into a surging torrent. The tall towers and palaces collapsed one after another.
Li Fengyuan stood above the royal palace and felt an unprecedented power converging on his body. This was the condensation of the Winged Men's power and spirit. He looked at the horizon with a grave expression. Could he actually block it?
The Winged Men were also looking at him. The surging white light was like a pair of pure white wings that had spread out. It was as if they could see Bai Chen's figure again.
Time became extremely slow. Every second was stretched out, and it became a kind of torture.
If the great formation was broken, everything would be over.
However, that thin layer of light barrier was on the verge of collapse. Although it was on the verge of collapse, it did not shatter. Its toughness was beyond everyone's expectations.
A smile appeared on Li Fengyuan's face. With another wave of his hand, the cloud pillars erected around the City Amongst the Clouds and in front of the main hall lit up one after another. The bird-headed, human-bodied statues that were squatting on them suddenly came to life. They flapped their wings and welcomed the army of the King of East Lu. There were close to a hundred of them. Every one of them was equivalent to a puppet king.
As soon as the statues left the City Amongst the Clouds, a few of them were crushed by the torrent of power. However, they managed to block the majority of the attack.
The light barrier stabilized and gradually became thicker.
Li Fengyuan commanded the statues and changed the formation. He fought with the army of the King of East Lu. At the same time, he ordered the Winged Men, "The few of you, don't just stand there. All of you, counterattack! "
Although the Winged Men were not willing to listen to his orders, they could only help each other at this time. They were not good at close combat in the first place. Now that they were standing in the City Amongst the Clouds, they could launch an attack to their heart's content.
Light whistled through the air, streaking across the horizon like thunder. They cooperated with the statues in their counterattack against the King of East Lu.
Li Fengyuan looked up at the vault of heaven. The dark clouds of tribulation were slowly dispersing. The sun shone down brightly, speeding up the recovery of the light barrier. This was the true source of power for the great formation of the City Amongst the Clouds. The longer the battle dragged on, the stronger the formation would become.
The shadow of a cloud suddenly covered the sky. The Shadow Cloud Crane King looked down and met Li Fengyuan's eyes. Sparks flew.
"Give up, Phoenix!"
"City Amongst the Clouds, rise!"
Li Fengyuan raised his hand. The City Amongst the Clouds rose to the horizon and crashed towards the Shadow Cloud Crane King.
The Shadow Cloud Crane King stretched out a crane leg and lightly stepped on the City Amongst the Clouds. It stopped the City Amongst the Clouds from rising. Its huge crane wings still covered the sky.
With a cry of a phoenix, Li Fengyuan shot up into the sky. Separated by the light barrier, he slapped the crane leg with his palm.
"Even if you are the Divine Bird of Phoenix, you have only just passed the third Heavenly Tribulation. How can you possibly …"
The Shadow Cloud Crane King suddenly felt an uncontrollable, enormous power surging up from its leg. It could not suppress it. Glancing sideways at the city, it immediately understood that it had gathered the power of all the Feather People. This was something that only the King of Feather People could do.
Layers of ripples appeared on the barrier. The two powers collided violently. The City Amongst the Clouds stubbornly rose up, straight into the astral wind layer.
The higher it rose, the stronger the astral wind became. It whistled and slashed on the light barrier. Immediately, it became dimmer. However, the heavy attacks from the King of East Lu were also baptized by the astral wind. Their power was greatly reduced.
Through Bai Chen's memories, Li Fengyuan understood that this was the most normal way of operating the City Amongst the Clouds.
The great formation of the City Amongst the Clouds had the power to resist the astral wind. If an enemy invaded, it could raise the City Amongst the Clouds into the astral wind layer, making it difficult for the enemy to launch an attack.
Although the great formation's endurance was limited and could not be raised too high, it was enough to ensure that no enemy could be higher than the City Amongst the Clouds. Otherwise, it would be a joke if the source of its power was easily blocked by others.
"No wonder the Great Xia Dynasty can't do anything to the Feather People. This City Amongst the Clouds is simply a divine weapon of war. It is not something that the White Dragon King or the Red Dragon King can compare to. It is a pity that it was greatly weakened by the Heavenly Tribulation at the beginning. It is difficult to use all kinds of attack methods. Otherwise, it would not be afraid of a mere King of East Lu!"
A few crane feathers fell. They did not drift for long before they were cut into pieces by the astral wind. Even the Ten Demon Kings could not stay in the astral wind layer at such a high level for long. The Shadow Cloud Crane King had no choice but to step aside.
Before the sunlight could shine down, there was a loud bang. The Cloud State Cauldron heavily pressed down on the City Amongst the Clouds.
Seeing that the cooked duck was about to fly away, the King of East Lu could not hold back and drove the Cloud State Cauldron with all his might.
The cauldron, which gathered the power of the mountains and rivers of Cloud State, was extremely heavy. The City Amongst the Clouds began to fall again. The astral wind cut marks on the body of the cauldron, but it was difficult to damage it for a while.
At this rate, before the Cloud State Cauldron was damaged, the City Amongst the Clouds would fall to the ground.
Li Fengyuan made up his mind and opened the Light Barrier. The Cloud State Cauldron fell with the astral wind.
Li Fengyuan was the first to bear the brunt.
Boom!
The palace hall was reduced to ruins. Li Fengyuan's figure also disappeared from it.
The Feather People were shocked. Unknowingly, he had become the backbone of the Feather People. If even he was defeated, the Feather People would be in danger of being exterminated.
The Cloud State Cauldron continued to fall with the City Amongst the Clouds. But from the ruins, a loud shout came from under the three-legged cauldron, "Close!"
The Light Barrier closed again and swallowed the Cloud State Cauldron.
Li Fengyuan held the cauldron with both hands. Blood flowed down his face and turned into burning flames. He shouted, "You don't want it anymore? Then give it to me! "
