The surrounding rocks were boiling hot, and the distortion in the air was becoming more obvious. Waves of heat continued to spread from the center of the volcano.
Feng Xu said, "Those five golden phoenixes are seals left behind by our ancestors. When we inject our Nine Leave battle qi into them, we can activate their sealing power and restrain the volcano. Yan 'er, when the ceremony starts, we will each control two seals, and Feng Nu will control one. Nian Bing, you will do as you please. Just remember to keep the eruption within the volcano and not let it out. The volcano's eruption is the fiercest in its initial stages. As long as we can hold on for a while, it will be easier to deal with. However, today's transformation may be different. "
Nian Bing nodded, "I understand. Elder, don't worry, we will do our best. Brother Halogen, you protect Ling 'er, and I will protect Chenchen. "
Yu Ruyan said, "Elder Feng Xu, you only need to control one seal. Feng Nu and I will each control two." Five seals should be controlled by five elders.
Feng Xu was stunned, "How can that be? In the past few years, my Nine Phoenix Transformations finally made a breakthrough and reached the fourth transformation. Although controlling two seals is a bit difficult, it should be possible. "
Feng Nu said, "Elder, as Mother said, let me control two seals. Don't worry, I am confident I can do it. I have already reached the sixth of the Nine Phoenix Transformations, Phoenix Transformation. "
"What?" Feng Xu was stunned. He couldn't believe his ears. When Feng Nu left the Feng people, the Feng people hadn't discovered the special cultivation method of the first two transformations. At that time, Feng Nu could barely use the second transformation, Royal Feather. But now, she was telling him that she could already use the sixth transformation. How was this possible? In the history of the Feng people, no one had improved so quickly. Of course, he didn't know. Under the effects of the Angel's Tear that Nian Bing had sacrificed his life to cast, the Phoenix Girl had undergone a complete transformation. Furthermore, her Tian Yan Acupoint had been opened. This allowed her cultivation speed to reach a whole new level. In a year and a half, her strength had made a qualitative leap. Even Yu Ruyan was no match for Feng Nu, who had the Tian Yan Acupoint. Among the three Feng people present, Feng Nu was the strongest. Among the seven people present, Feng Xu was the weakest. Even Long Ling had reached the level of an Ice Archmage. Moreover. With her Tian Yan acupoint, she was definitely stronger than Feng Xu.
Feng Xu looked at Feng Nu doubtfully and said, "Okay, let's start now." He also wanted to see if Feng Nu's sixth transformation was real or fake. If Feng Nu really did reach the sixth transformation. Then, even though there were only three of them here today, the strength of their Nine Abandonment Battle Aura was probably stronger than that of the five elders who had reached the third transformation.
Feng Xu's expression became abnormally serious as he felt the heat and vibrations from the Phoenix Volcano grow stronger and stronger. He bit his right middle finger, and with the golden Nine Leave Battle Energy wrapped around it, he flew out like lightning toward the golden phoenix symbol closest to him. At the same time, Yu Ruyan and Phoenix Girl bit their own middle fingers at the same time. They each shot out two drops of blood towards the other four phoenix symbols. They were once the hope of the Feng people. Naturally, they knew what to do at the Phoenix Nirvana Ceremony. Five drops of blood landed on the five phoenix symbols almost at the same time.
A strange scene appeared. Under the stimulation of the Phoenix Royal Bloodline, the five golden phoenix symbols seemed to come alive. In a flash of golden light, the five phoenixes turned into countless golden figures and soared into the sky. More than half of the heat in the air was absorbed by the five golden phoenixes, causing the air to become cooler. However, just as everyone felt the seal left behind by the Feng people begin to take effect, the Phoenix Volcano under their feet shook violently, and a surge of fire energy surged out. With a loud boom, accompanied by countless rocks and dust, a fiery red light shot up from the center of the Phoenix Volcano. In the blink of an eye, it rose to a height of more than a hundred feet. The surrounding air became completely distorted, and the scorching heat rose to the extreme. Even with the protection of the Morning Dew Dagger, Long Ling's face turned pale. Only with the protection of Halogen's black Battle Aura did she stabilize her body. Nian Bing opened her Heavenly Eye Domain, enveloping herself and Lan Chen. The power of the domain was extremely useful, and it greatly weakened the expansion of the fire element.
The five Golden Phoenixes that had just ascended were immediately scattered to the sides by the sudden eruption of the volcano. At this time, the five Golden Phoenixes also began to play their role. Golden flames spread out in all directions, condensing into a huge light shield, completely enveloping the erupting lava, gravel and dust, preventing it from spreading outwards.
"Royal Bloodline Feather!" Feng Xu shouted, and a pair of fiery red wings floated out from his back, carrying him into the sky. Two surging golden flames were injected into the golden light pillar in the center, merging with the golden phoenixes that he had activated with his royal bloodline. At the same time, Feng Nu and Yu Ruyan did the same, but the flames from each of their hands merged into a golden phoenix. The five golden phoenixes that were shaken by the eruption of the volcano regained their luster under the combined efforts of the three. They forcefully prevented the eruption of the volcano from spreading outwards. The volcano trembled even more violently, each eruption stronger than the last. Feng Nu and the other two also entered the third transformation from Royal Bloodline Feather to Illusory Phoenix Demon Body.
The three illusory golden-red figures flapped the wings on their backs to control their bodies. It was obvious how much pressure they were under from the constant changes in their figures.
Feng Nu and her mother looked at each other, and their minds were connected. The three Feng people who had reached Illusory Phoenix Demon Body weren't enough to control the five golden phoenixes to the best effect, so they chose to continue transforming without hesitation. Six illusory figures appeared out of thin air, and as they materialized, the phoenix flames injected into the golden phoenixes suddenly became several times stronger. The surging golden light completely suppressed the eruption of the volcano, and the five golden phoenixes circled in the air as if they were alive, preventing the scorching airflow in the air from leaking out. The Phoenix Nirvana Ceremony truly began at this moment.
Two of the four transformations, one of the three transformations, fully unleashed the power of the phoenix seal. Feng Xu only felt the pressure on him decrease greatly. The three of them all secretly heaved a sigh of relief as they continued to increase the seal's power.
Nian Bing and the other three stood at the edge of the volcano and watched. After the seal was fully activated, the heat in the air decreased significantly. Although the eruption of the volcano continued to increase in power, it clearly wasn't easy to break through the seal. Nian Bing focused her spiritual power and prepared to be ready to fight. On the other side, Long Ling had already started chanting an incantation, and Halogen had also taken out his God Slaying Battle Axe.
If this was the previous Phoenix Submarine Ceremony, Feng Nu and the other two would only need to hold on like this. When the eruption of the volcano gradually stopped, it would be completed successfully. However, the eruption this time was indeed different from the past. The Feng people's records weren't wrong. Just as they took control of the situation, Lan Chen, who was standing beside Nian Bing, began to change.
Lan Chen could clearly feel her body becoming abnormally hot. This heat wasn't caused by the heat from the outside world. Instead, it was constantly being emitted from inside her body. The ice magic in her body didn't decrease. Instead, it seemed to be increasing in power. However, the burning sensation became more and more intense, as if it was going to burn her entire body. She gritted her teeth and endured the pain, but the heat in her body had already begun to spread outwards. Nian Bing had been holding Lan Chen's hand all this time. The change in Lan Chen's body immediately attracted his attention. Originally, Lan Chen's little hand was always ice-cold, but he was surprised to find that her little hand, which should have been ice-cold, was now boiling hot. Shocked, he turned his head to look at Lan Chen. Just as he was about to ask, he saw Lan Chen's painful expression. Then, blue wings spread out from Lan Chen's back. She let out a scream of pain, and her body involuntarily soared into the sky.
Nian Bing jumped in fright. He hurriedly cast a wind magic spell on himself and chased after Lan Chen. However, at that moment, Lan Chen's body underwent three changes in succession. All three changes were completed in an instant. Each change strengthened her phoenix form, evolving from Royal Feather to Phoenix Flapping Wings of Five Colors. The three blue figures all turned into five colors at the same time. Lan Chen let out another scream of pain, and the three figures flew in three different directions. The wildly surging five-colored light moved rapidly. Each time it moved, it brought with it a powerful aura.
Feng Xu, who was flying in the air, was still trying his best to control the golden phoenix seal. He couldn't stop Lan Chen at all. However, when he saw Lan Chen go through the three parts of the phoenix shadow and the five colors of the phoenix flapping its wings, he felt a strong sense of unease. He yelled, "Quick, stop her!"
Without needing Feng Xu's order, Nian Bing reacted quickly. He pounced at Lan Chen, who was in the center. At the same time, four shadow Puppets appeared from his body. The wind Shadow Puppet and the black Shadow Puppet went after Lan Chen on the left, while the space Shadow Puppet and the light Shadow Puppet went after Lan Chen on the right. At this critical moment, Nian Bing fully activated his Heaven's Eye Domain. He and the four shadow Puppets all reached the limit of their speed.
However, Lan Chen, who had entered the Fifth Phoenix Transformation, also reached the limit of her speed. After the three figures split up, she instantly pounced at the golden phoenix seal in the center. She seemed to be struggling, but it seemed like she couldn't control herself. There was only a short distance from the edge of the volcano to the center. Just as she was about to charge into the golden seal, Nian Bing and the four shadow Puppets finally arrived in time and blocked Lan Chen's path. Seeing Lan Chen's current state, Nian Bing couldn't help but jump in fright. Lan Chen's eyes had turned completely ice blue. They were filled with pain. Seeing that Nian Bing was blocking her, she actually raised her hands and released a wave of five-colored light towards Nian Bing and the four shadow Puppets.
Nian Bing knew that only one of the three Lan Chen's was real. However, under the effect of the Phoenix Shadow's Three Parts, he simply couldn't distinguish which one was real and which one was fake. Nian Bing's rich combat experience was of great help to him. Without any hesitation, he and the four shadow Puppets immediately pounced forward. The first ones to display their effects were the Space Shadow Puppet and the Light Shadow Puppet. Under the effect of Nian Bing's enormous spiritual power, he divided his will into five parts, separately controlling his own body and the four shadow Puppets. Pure and holy light essence surged out, enveloping Lan Chen's body. That was completely a high-level healing technique, removing the five-colored light emitted by Lan Chen. Just as Lan Chen's charging figure slowed down slightly, the Space Shadow Puppet's whole body emitted a bright silver light. With a spatial transmission, it had already sent Lan Chen to the edge of the volcano. At this time, the power of this Lan Chen's attack was completely displayed. However, she was already far away from the central sealing volcano's light pillar.
And Nian Bing himself and the two shadow Puppets, Wind and Earth, didn't stay idle either. Nian Bing's method was very simple. He ignored the high temperature of the five-colored light flame and directly pounced forward, embracing Lan Chen in front of him. Of course, he definitely didn't act rashly. Although the Sky's Eye Domain didn't have any offensive effects, it was extremely powerful in terms of defense, amplification, and weakening. Especially after Nian Bing's Sky's Eye Acupoint reached the ultimate realm, his Sky's Eye Domain had already reached a whole new level. Twenty days ago, it was precisely because of the Sky's Eye Domain that he was able to first greatly weaken the attack of the Phoenix Spreading Wings Formation, and then through amplification, complete the thirteen level Seven Forbidden Seven Seals Curse. Under the effect of the Sky's Eye Domain, when Nian Bing hugged Lan Chen's body, her attack was also imprinted on Nian Bing's chest. Nian Bing let out a muffled groan. The seven-colored radiance of the Sky's Eye Domain moved at the same time, reducing the fire element attached to the attack to a minimum when it was attacked. Lan Chen wasn't a warrior, but a magician. Her two palms naturally wouldn't cause any harm to Nian Bing. Carrying her body, Nian Bing suddenly accelerated, following closely behind the Space Shadow Puppet and the Light Shadow Puppet back to the edge of the volcano.
The Earth and Black Shadow Puppets were also very direct. As the strongest of the Shadow Puppets, Emperor Kurobutsu's mind was already connected to Nian Bing's. Although Lan Chen had already used the fifth transformation of the Nine Phoenix Transformations, how could she be a match for Emperor Kurobutsu?
The Demon-Devouring Blade drew an arc in the air, instantly creating a black hole that swallowed the surging five-colored flames. In the next moment, the Wind Shadow Puppet had already created a green tornado that swept Lan Chen's body and sent her flying in the direction of Nian Bing.
Although all of this happened in a short moment, Nian Bing had already used all of her strength and all of the Shadow Puppets unleashed their strongest abilities to stop the Five Transformations Lan Chen. At this moment, he only had one thought, and that was to listen to Feng Xu and stop the three figures of Lan Chen from approaching the seal in the center before the Phoenix Nirvana Ceremony was completed.
But would it really go so smoothly? The three figures of Lan Chen that were brought back to the edge of the volcano by Nian Bing and the Shadow Puppets all paused at the same time. However, the three figures suddenly became more illusory, and only the three pairs of blue eyes remained as real as ever. Loud phoenix cries sounded from the three figures at the same time, and light instantly shone brightly. Nian Bing only felt the figure in her arms disappear, and Lan Chen turned into a blue light and rose into the air. She watched as the three figures merged into one.
The multicolored light instantly shone brightly, forming a huge phoenix that rose into the air. The phoenix's eyes were ice blue, and its huge wings spanned a space of ten zhang. The multicolored body on the cushion of air instantly increased in size. The multicolored light emitted by the multicolored flames was actually not any weaker than the seal formed by the five golden phoenixes.
Feng Nu and Yu Ruyan were shocked to see Lan Chen break through the bottleneck and reach the sixth transformation. Their faces immediately turned pale with fright. An increase in one's strength was a good thing, but in this situation, it seemed that Lan Chen's body had a big problem. Her increase in strength would only increase the problem. Without any hesitation, Feng Nu and Yu Ruyan moved at the same time. The three figures of Yu Ruyan lit up with five-colored light at the same time, and instantly climbed to the fifth transformation of the Phoenix Nine Transformations. The three figures of Feng Nu instantly merged together and directly skipped the fifth transformation. Relying on the control of her Tian Yan acupoint, another huge phoenix appeared in the air. However, the phoenix that Feng Nu transformed into had completely red eyes that were as clear as rubies.
Next was Feng Nu's transformation. After the fifth transformation, Yu Ruyan's three figures also merged together and entered the sixth transformation. Another huge phoenix appeared in the air, this time formed by Yu Ruyan. Its eyes were emerald green, and the three huge phoenixes floated in the air. Because they had entered the sixth transformation, Feng Nu and Yu Ruyan's strength instantly increased greatly. However, Yu Ruyan herself was the only one who was able to control the seal. He easily cooperated with Elder Feng Xu to control the seal that resisted the volcanic eruption. Phoenix Girl circled in the air and faced Lan Chen from below.
Nian Bing also rose into the air at this moment, and the shadow puppets were completely retracted. A grey light condensed below him, and Oscar's huge body appeared out of thin air. He spread his dragon wings and brought Nian Bing one step ahead of Feng Nu to block in front of Lan Chen. Although they were both in the sixth transformation, the five-colored phoenix that Lan Chen transformed into was twice the size of Feng Nu and Yu Ruyan. His huge body was even larger than Oscar's, and he floated in the air. He didn't rush directly into the light pillar from the eruption as everyone was worried about. Instead, he floated there in Silence. The five-colored halo on his body fluctuated in waves, and his blue eyes flickered with a struggling light. However, Lan Chen still couldn't control his body. Feng Nu flew to Nian Bing's side, and they didn't move either. With every minute that passed, they were more confident that they could complete the Phoenix Nirvana Ceremony. At this moment, the eruption of the volcano was starting to weaken.
At this moment, a blue light barrier covered Lan Chen's body from behind. That was clearly the aura of ice. Although the light barrier wasn't strong, it still caused the flames around Lan Chen's body to shrink. That was a magic from Long Ling. Long Ling was afraid of hurting Lan Chen, so when she used the Sigh of the Snow Goddess as her magic staff to activate this magic, she used an ice element sealing technique.
But just as Long Ling's magic was about to take effect, a strange scene occurred. The flames that were clearly burning around Lan Chen's body actually swallowed up the ice element sealing technique in an instant, and an enormous and scorching energy continued to rise. However, that scorching heat wasn't the same as ordinary flames. It seemed to be an ice-cold heat. The two completely opposite feelings made Feng Nu and Nian Bing feel that something was wrong. At this moment, the five-colored flames around Lan Chen's body started to change, and the five-colored radiance started to develop into a pure color. The ground below Lan Chen suddenly split open without any warning, and a surge of magma soared into the sky, merging with Lan Chen's body from below. Immediately after, the five-colored flames around Lan Chen's body changed in a flash, turning into a blue color like her eyes. The magma was completely absorbed by her body, and the blue flames gently drifted. The blue phoenix suddenly appeared very moving.
Feng Nu cried out involuntarily, "The seventh transformation of the Phoenix's Nine Transformations, True Phoenix Body. Ah! No, this is Yin Fire. "
Before Feng Nu and Nian Bing could come over, Lan Chen had already spat out a mouthful of blue flames. The flames didn't come from Nianbing and Feng Nu, but directly onto the ground. Nian Bing quickly understood the meaning of this Yin Fire. On the surface, there wasn't any scorching aura, nor was there any loud noise, but the rocks on the ground instantly disintegrated. The moment the vaporized rocks disappeared, another surge of magma erupted. Perhaps it was because of the Yin flames, but the entire Phoenix Volcano started to shake violently. The eruption of the volcano that Yu Ruyan and Feng Xu had been suppressing suddenly increased tenfold. The mouth of the volcano suddenly expanded outward, and fiery red lava continued to spread. The five golden phoenixes disappeared under the violent impact. Yu Ruyan's five-colored phoenix form flashed in the air and caught Feng Xu, instantly leaving the volcano's crater. At this point, the volcano's eruption was no longer under their control.
Immediately afterward, in the cone-shaped crater of the volcano, magma erupted one after another. The holes gradually connected together, and in just a few breaths of time, the entire volcano had completely erupted. The huge pillar of fire spewed scorching flames into the sky hundreds of times larger than before. The entire sky was dyed red because of the scorching flames.
Halogen immediately brought Long Ling down the mountain. In such an intense heat, there were no other elements in the air besides the fire element. Thus, Long Ling couldn't fly and could only retreat under Halogen's lead. The magma spewing out of the volcano was speckled with golden light. Even Nian Bing and Oscar couldn't withstand the immense heat. Although the Eye of the Sky was powerful, they could only retreat in the face of such a violent roar of nature. Oscar spread his wings and brought Nian Bing out of the volcano's range in an instant.
Feng Nu and Yu Ruyan left one after the other. However, when everyone left the crater, they were shocked to find that Lan Chen's body had been swallowed by the magma.
Yu Ruyan and Nian Bing cried out at the same time. Nian Bing leaped up and wanted to jump into the volcano, but found that there was no wind or ice element in the air that could allow her to fly. Oscar caught her again. No matter what Nian Bing said, he refused to take her into the erupting magma. He wasn't doing this for himself. At the same time, he was doing this to protect Nian Bing! Nian Bing kept hearing Oscar's comforting words in her heart, but how could she listen at this moment? Lan Chen had been completely swallowed by the magma. It was as if it had swallowed his heart, causing him to fall into an abyss of pain. He screamed crazily, wanting to summon his shadow puppets to take him into the scorching magma. However, at this moment, all the shadow puppets rejected his request. As the soul of a supra-divine weapon, they all had their own consciousness. How could they watch their master die in vain?
Nian Bing's heart shattered. His heart shattered amidst the agitation. However … He couldn't move, but that didn't mean that Feng Nu and Yu Ruyan couldn't move. A strange scene happened. Feng Nu and Yu Ruyan's phoenixes turned from five colors to a pure red. If it was any other time, perhaps they would be very excited to find out that they had entered the seventh transformation of the Phoenix Nine Transformations. However, at this time, they no longer cared about their own strength. Although the Feng people were of the fire attribute, even their bodies couldn't withstand the high temperature of the magma! Yu Ruyan rushed out first, heading straight for the magma, but Feng Nu rushed to the vicinity of the volcano before Yu Ruyan. She suddenly turned around, and a scorching red stream of air gushed out, forcibly stopping Yu Ruyan's attack. "Mom, let me go." Without waiting for Yu Ruyan to react, the fiery red phoenix that Feng Nu had transformed into had already rushed into the crazily surging magma.
Yu Ruyan's body was forcefully jolted back. When she wanted to rush forward again, a gray barrier blocked her way. Although Oscar brought Nian Bing and flew at their fastest speed, they could only stop Yu Ruyan. At this time, Feng Nu had already disappeared. Tears flowed down Nian Bing's face. "Mom, don't." His heart seemed to shatter in an instant. Both of his wives had rushed into the hellish sea of fire. In fact, how could he not want to rush in? But at this moment, he had no choice but to stop the impulsive Yu Ruyan first. Nian Bing regretted. She regretted promising Feng Nu to come back. Why did she bring Lan Chen all the way back to the Feng people? If she didn't come to the Feng people, how could she face such a sudden change? Nian Bing realized that she was actually so powerless in the face of the roar of nature. The volcano in front of her had completely erupted, causing all the magic elements in the vicinity to disappear except for the fire element, forming a magic vacuum. No matter how strong her spiritual power was, without the magic elements that she could control, how could she rush in? The golden flames were filled with an abnormally hot air current. Could this be the so-called True Phoenix Fire? At the same time, Nian Bing also knew that Oscar and the shadow puppets were right. Although she also had fire magic and a strong body, once she rushed into the surging lava, there was no way she could survive. That was why she wanted to leave Oscar and rush into the mouth of the volcano alone.
At this moment, Feng Xu was Silent as he watched the volcano erupt a thousand feet away. A strange light flashed in his eyes as he muttered, "Strange, so strange!" His body was already emitting a multicolored light, and the illusory figure turned from one to three. In the short moment when the volcano completely erupted, he clearly felt that the Nine Leave Dou Qi in his body seemed to have been ignited, and instantly reached an unprecedented adjustment. It actually directly jumped two levels, from the third transformation directly to the fifth transformation. This was something he didn't even dare to think about before!
Yu Ruyan said sternly, "Nian Bing, get out of the way. I want to go in and save my daughters. Don't worry about me. If anything happens to them, what's the point of me living? "
Nian Bing stared blankly at Yu Ruyan. Suddenly, his gaze became determined. He nodded and said, "Okay, Mom. Then bring me in." Although he knew that he was going to die, he definitely wouldn't back down when his two wives were in danger. Oscar didn't want to go in with him. His energy body could actually be maintained outside, but he couldn't form a corpse, just like an undead. However, his soul had already merged with this energy body. As long as he continued to cultivate, when the Dragon God's Heart Sutra reached a certain level, he might be able to form a physical body again. It was just that cultivating on his own would be slower than cultivating in his own body. At this point, he couldn't care so much anymore. If they couldn't live together, they could die together. This was Nian Bing's only thought. Thinking of this, he didn't hesitate anymore.
Hearing Nian Bing's words, Yu Ruyan was also stunned. Just as she didn't know what to do, Feng Xu's voice suddenly sounded. "Wait, don't be rash." Three Feng Xus flew in front of Nian Bing and Yu Ruyan. The three figures merged into one, becoming the chief elder of the Feng people. Feng Xu said, "Don't be rash. Listen to me first. Feng Nu and Lan Chen might not be in danger. Maybe it's not a bad thing for them to be in the lava. Instead, it might be a good thing. "
Yu Ruyan asked anxiously, "Elder, tell us quickly. Is there any record of this in our Feng people's records?"
Feng Xu shook his head. "No, there's no record of this in our records. However, didn't you notice the problem? Feel it. This is the first time such a strong eruption has occurred. We're very close to the crater, but the temperature isn't much higher than before. Also, didn't you notice that the lava isn't flowing out of the volcano, nor is it falling from the sky? "
