Chapter 446: True · Phoenix Wing Firmament
Feng Hengkong's voice heavily struck the hearts of the nine Phoenix disciples. They instantly understood Feng Hengkong's meaning, and in that moment, nine vicious glints flashed across their eyes. Their bodies simultaneously blazed with a piercing red fiery light.
Phoenix Domain!!
The nine of them all possessed the Phoenix bloodline and cultivated the Phoenix Ode Scripture, allowing them to clearly sense each other's aura and profound art changes. Thus, their domains could be released at precisely the same instant and perfectly stacked together!
The first four realms of the Phoenix Ode Scripture did not come with domain techniques. The "Phoenix Domain" was a flame annihilation domain developed, evolved, and perfected by the Fenghuang God Sect over five thousand years using the Phoenix bloodline and Phoenix Ode Scripture. When the domain was activated, the Phoenix blood would be fully ignited, instantly turning the surrounding space into a terrifying flame purgatory. The consumption of the Phoenix Domain was far greater than other domains of the same level, but its power was equally immense.
The power of a single Phoenix Domain was already terrifying. Nine Phoenix Domains released simultaneously and then instantly stacked... Even the Phoenix disciples themselves had never witnessed such a scene.
Boom!!!!!!!!
Before anyone could react, a massive sea of blood-red flame madly spread across the center of the arena, instantly forming a vast inferno... In that instant, it was as if a crimson sun had suddenly appeared and then violently exploded.
Every person's eyes were reflected in the color of blood. The entire world before them turned completely red in an instant—the heat, the violence, the terror of the flame waves completely surpassing the towering sea of fire created by Yun Che and Feng Xiluo's final clash.
And Yun Che, at the very center of this horrifying hellfire, was completely engulfed.
"AHHHHHHH!!"
After a brief dead silence, the entire venue erupted in panicked screams. What they witnessed was no different from a calm sea suddenly erupting into a volcanic explosion. Many profound practitioners among the crowd immediately recognized it as the Fenghuang God Sect's strongest technique—the Phoenix Domain! The power of a single Phoenix Domain already far exceeded ordinary domains, and with nine domains released and stacked simultaneously, no one doubted that even a true Overlord Emperor would be severely burned if caught off guard!
The Fenghuang God Sect... clearly intended to instantly kill Yun Che, giving no one a chance to react!
Feng Hengkong's lips twitched slightly, and a cold smile flashed across Feng Feiyan's face. They clearly saw Yun Che being engulfed by the ninefold Phoenix Domain. This sudden, unpredictable, and terrifying method gave no one a chance to react, nor did it give Yun Che a chance to surrender. Under the ninefold Phoenix Domain, even if Yun Che were at full strength—let alone with his profound energy greatly depleted—he would be completely burned to ashes within a few breaths.
In their eyes, Yun Che was undoubtedly dead, with no chance of survival. Even if Gu Cang True Person were to act, he simply wouldn't be fast enough.
"Brother-in-law!!"
At that moment, Xia Yuanba had just stood beside Gu Cang True Person and hadn't even had a chance to speak a single word when the sky-covering sea of fire exploded. The scorching heat was so intense that even his body, tougher than black iron, felt a faint sting. His face changed drastically, and with a roar, he charged forward...
"Wait!!" Gu Cang True Person reached out and grabbed him firmly. Staring at the Phoenix fire before him, a strange light flickered in his eyes.
Chirp~~~~~
From the flame-filled arena, a piercingly loud phoenix cry suddenly rang out. Amidst the cry, the terrifying annihilation domain formed by the nine stacked Phoenix Domains was abruptly torn open by a huge gap. A phoenix flame shadow shot up from the gap, soaring into the sky.
It was a complete phoenix shadow—its head held high, its entire body crimson, with a pair of phoenix flame wings over ten zhang long. And at the center of the phoenix shadow... was none other than Yun Che's figure!!
"Wh... what?!" Feng Hengkong shot to his feet, his voice lost in shock.
The phoenix shadow broke through the air, reaching hundreds of zhang into the sky. Yun Che's ear-splitting roar then came from above: "You people of the Fenghuang God Sect... open your eyes wide and see what a TRUE... Phoenix Ode Scripture looks like!!!"
"Ughhhhhh..."
The Phoenix flame power on Yun Che's body erupted wildly. Amidst his deep roar, the phoenix shadow on him grew even larger and more profound, like a true phoenix soaring across the sky. Its pair of flame wings fully unfurled, covering dozens of zhang of space. Then, a phoenix cry tore through the heavens, and the enormous phoenix shadow, carrying sky-burning flames and an incredibly vast aura, suddenly plunged downward like a burning meteor...
Everyone's eyes were wide open... because they saw a phoenix! Although it was merely a projection of power, it was a complete, almost tangible phoenix shadow!! Even the Phoenix disciples had never seen such a complete phoenix shadow before!!
Space completely twisted. As the phoenix shadow fell, the space at the center of the arena was viciously split apart. Wherever the phoenix wings struck, they left behind lingering flames that refused to die. The ground below rapidly sank, and the sheer force of the impact caused even the Overlord Emperors present to suddenly change color.
And an indescribable pressure heavily crushed the hearts of all the Fenghuang God Sect members, making their souls—and even their Phoenix blood—tremble...
This was not only a suppression of realm but also a suppression of bloodline!
"Phoenix Wing... Firmament Dance!" Feng Xue'er, who was beside Feng Hengkong, exclaimed in shock.
"What?!" Feng Xue'er's voice made Feng Hengkong's entire body jolt, his pupils sharply contracting. Phoenix Wing Firmament Dance... That was the fifth realm of the Phoenix Ode Scripture, which Lord Phoenix God had said had long vanished from Cang Feng!!
Correct! What Yun Che had unleashed was exactly the Phoenix flame technique attached to the fifth realm of the Phoenix Ode Scripture—Phoenix Wing Firmament Dance. But this Phoenix Wing Firmament Dance was completely different from what he had used before. Because before truly cultivating the Phoenix Ode Scripture, the Phoenix Wing Firmament Dance he had used was an interference with the laws of Phoenix flames using the Evil God Fire Seed, forcibly driven by Phoenix fire—having the form but lacking the spirit. And a powerful profound technique belonging to the Phoenix God would never have such limited power.
At this moment, what Yun Che displayed was a COMPLETE Phoenix Wing Firmament Dance!! It was a powerful divine profound technique from the Phoenix God himself, capable of instantly destroying a planet!
"Get out of the way!!" The overwhelming pressure descending from the sky made Feng Feiyan's face fill with alarm, and he roared at the nine Phoenix disciples directly below.
The nine Phoenix disciples, who had thought they had already incinerated Yun Che with the ninefold Phoenix Domain, were now pale and trembling. They could hear Feng Feiyan's voice, but none of them could move. Because the aura crashing down upon them was like a ten-thousand-zhang mountain crushing their bodies, making them feel like they would be ground into meat paste at any moment.
Not only their bodies, but their hearts, souls, power, and even their consciousness were completely suppressed. Only endless fear and despair filled their bodies and souls...
Boom!!!!!!!!!!!!
The phoenix shadow slammed down. The entire Phoenix Realm trembled violently, and the earth-shattering roar spread almost throughout the entire Shenhuang City.
The Phoenix Domain exploded, scattering sky-covering Phoenix flames. Amidst miserable screams, the nine Phoenix disciples were drenched in blood and sent flying like nine broken blood bags. And where the Phoenix Platform had originally stood, the ground had completely vanished, replaced by a pitch-black pit of unknown depth!
The Phoenix Wing Firmament Dance was a concentrated, violent impact of power, not a widespread area of destruction. Thus, the area outside the center was unaffected. Watching the nine Phoenix disciples being heavily injured and sent flying, several grand elders of the Fenghuang God Sect panicked and quickly flew up, attempting to protect them midair.
But at that moment, from within that bottomless pit, a sky-covering flame erupted. The scorching Phoenix flames transformed into a series of enchanting, gorgeous petals, furiously blooming into an enormous fire lotus. In an instant, it covered a hundred zhang area, swallowing all nine flying Phoenix disciples.
"Burn... It's the Burning Star Demon Lotus!" Feng Xue'er cried out again.
Feng Hengkong: "!!!!"
A hundred-zhang fire lotus, magnificently blooming at the center of this arena, was so beautiful it made one hold their breath. But the annihilating aura released by every petal was so terrifying it made people suffocate. Everyone stared blankly, as if they had lost their seven souls and six spirits.
The Phoenix elders who had come to rescue the nine talented Phoenix disciples all halted midair, eyes wide, staring at the enormous lotus so close they didn't dare take another step forward. These elders were all genuine Overlord Emperors. Although the Phoenix fire lotus before them had a powerful annihilating aura, it shouldn't have been able to harm them as Overlord Emperors. Yet, facing this Phoenix fire lotus, an intense palpitation arose in their hearts. They didn't dare to touch it, not even approach it... The bloodline and realm suppression, formless as it was, made them feel like commoners suddenly encountering a legendary emperor.
The Burning Star Demon Lotus, and it was a COMPLETE Burning Star Demon Lotus.
The Burning Star Demon Lotus of the past could at most bloom thirty-six layers of petals.
But this one had bloomed a full one hundred and eight layers, and each petal was far deeper than ever before.
Everyone was dumbfounded. The entire arena, with three million people, was utterly silent except for the sound of the burning flames... Not even the sound of breathing could be heard. The people of the Four Sacred Grounds had all risen to their feet. Xia Yuanba's mouth was wide open, his jaw nearly hitting the floor.
Feng Feiyan, closest to the center of the arena, had eyes bulging and hands trembling. Feng Hengkong's lips, eyebrows, and chin twitched spasmodically... To those outside the Fenghuang God Sect, what struck them was only the world-ending annihilating aura and unparalleled magnificence. But to them, it was a spiritual shock no less than a world-shattering upheaval.
Because the two Phoenix flame techniques Yun Che had unleashed had characteristics identical to the descriptions of two legendary powerful Phoenix flame techniques! And if it were only the same characteristics, that would be one thing. But their momentum, power, and intimidation far surpassed the Phoenix fourth realm's Phoenix Fire Scorching Sky! They were powers completely transcending the fourth realm of the Phoenix Ode Scripture!
Phoenix Wing Firmament Dance, Burning Star Demon Lotus...
Those were powers that existed only in legend and in the words of Lord Phoenix God—powers from the fifth and sixth realms of the Phoenix Ode Scripture, which had vanished over five thousand years ago!
