Chapter 713: Heavy Sword Crushing
With his strength fully unleashed, Yun Che faced the incoming Phoenix Arrow and actually reached out his arm to grab it directly. With a low shout, the Phoenix Arrow coalescing extremely strong Phoenix Flame Force was violently torn apart by Yun Che's palm, transforming into two twisted remnants of flame that Yun Che flung behind him.
"Mm!!" Feng Tianyu's pupils dilated. Beneath his face full of shock, there was even a hint of faint terror.
"The one who will die is you!" Yun Che's Phoenix Blood burned throughout his body, and behind him, a clear Phoenix Shadow flickered into view. Instantly, the Phoenix Pressure superimposed with the Profound Force Aura, actually suppressing Feng Tianyu in terms of momentum.
Yun Che's arm blasted out. In an instant, the bursting Phoenix Flame filled the entire space, leaving only the purest red between heaven and earth. With the Evil God Fire Seed within him, his speed in mobilizing fire-based power was something even Feng Tianyu, who had cultivated Phoenix Flame Force for over six hundred years, could not match.
The flames that filled his vision in an instant caused Feng Tianyu's shock to intensify beyond measure. The approaching Phoenix Flame made his protective profound force tremble violently. He no longer dared to underestimate or be careless. He mobilized his profound force to eighty percent at the fastest speed, and a massive flame storm erupted from his entire body.
"Phoenix Flame Scorching Heaven!!"
Boom!!
Like a thousand-zhang boulder plunging into a calm ocean, the air within several dozen li was violently pushed aside, creating a ring of terrifying ripples that shocked the eyes. The entire sky completely changed color. Beneath the scorching red light, two masses of Phoenix Flame, enough to burn heaven and destroy earth, collided in the most violent manner, mutually incinerating, tearing, and devouring each other.
And this was only the beginning. The two explosive masses of Phoenix Flame, amidst their mutual bombardment and devouring, did not gradually extinguish and dissipate. Instead, they expanded at an astonishing rate, and the crimson color grew deeper and deeper. Within dozens of li, all vegetation burst into flames, and even the rocks wrapped in flames began to melt rapidly.
Boom boom boom boom boom……
In terms of pure profound force accumulation, Yun Che naturally could not match Feng Tianyu. But when using Phoenix Flame, Yun Che crushed Feng Tianyu in every aspect—profound art realm, law comprehension, and flame control—even though Feng Tianyu was the most powerful Emperor Lord!
Although Yun Che's suddenly surging profound force shocked Feng Tianyu, his subconscious still refused to believe that Yun Che had the power to contend with him. But in the simple flame bombardment, he had used a full eighty percent of his profound force, yet he still could not overpower Yun Che's Phoenix Flame. After a brief stalemate, he even began to feel an increasingly heavy pressure.
"Haah!!"
A massive Phoenix Shadow emerged behind Feng Tianyu, and he raised his profound force to ninety percent. The Phoenix Flame on his body erupted again, rolling up a huge flame whirlpool, forcibly suppressing Yun Che's Phoenix Flame.
"Break for me!!"
The Phoenix Flame exploded, tearing space apart. Countless spatial fragments shot out like steel needles, piercing the sky and the earth. Beneath the erupting flame storm, Yun Che and Feng Tianyu were separated by a great distance. Feng Tianyu's pupils contracted as he stared fixedly at Yun Che… In his sight, although Yun Che had been blasted further away, his expression was calm and not pale at all. Only his clothes were torn, but there was not a single trace of injury on his body.
Twenty-two years old… King Xuan Realm Level 3… yet in a simple collision of profound force, he had forced him to use ninety percent of his power. This was something he would never have dreamed of before.
"This child… must absolutely not be allowed to live!"
Having fought Yun Che, Feng Tianyu, who had initially not taken Yun Che seriously, now truly realized Yun Che's terrifying nature. At just twenty-two, he was already like this. Feng Tianyu couldn't even imagine how terrifying he would be at his own age. And this person was also a mortal enemy of the Phoenix God Sect…
No matter what, at any cost, he must die!!
"Who… is your master?" Feng Tianyu's entire body muscles and blood vessels bulged. Around his body, increasingly dense fire spirits began to appear. Realizing Yun Che's terror, he had decided to use all his strength against this junior, no matter the cost, to kill him in the shortest possible time. If he didn't die… he would definitely become a nightmare for the Phoenix God Sect.
Like everyone else, he wanted to know who on earth had trained a disciple so skilled that even he, an Emperor Lord, was shocked to the point of heart palpitations!
"You're not worthy of knowing." Yun Che said coldly.
"Then go die." Feng Tianyu didn't expect to get an answer from Yun Che anyway. He opened his arms, his hair standing straight up in the flames. The Phoenix Shadow behind him let out a piercing and ear-splitting phoenix cry.
No Phoenix Flame was released from his body, but the temperature of the air rose at a terrifying and unparalleled rate. Space twisted and rapidly turned red. The gravel and fine sand on the ground trembled, and even large amounts floated up.
"Phoenix Domain!!" With a sharp flash in Feng Tianyu's eyes, the surrounding dozen li area transformed into a vast sea of flames in an instant. Within the sea of fire, countless Phoenix Flame Shadows danced and cried out freely, releasing a destructive force capable of burning everything.
In this vast flame domain, Feng Tianyu and Yun Che were at its very center. Feng Tianyu raised his hands. In his domain, he was naturally the master. He could freely change the domain and mobilize the power of every corner. Everything within the domain would become a factor favorable to him: "Yellow-haired brat, before you die, use your life to properly experience what a Lord Emperor-level domain is! In this Phoenix Domain, even if you use all your strength to defend, you will be turned to ashes within ten breaths!"
A Lord Emperor-level domain was indeed incomparably powerful. It could be said to be the highest level of power on the Tian Xuan Continent.
But, Feng Tianyu could never have dreamed that pure flame power, even ten times stronger, could not cause the slightest damage to Yun Che, who possessed the Fire Spirit Evil Body.
Standing at the center of this destructive domain, Yun Che glanced around indifferently. His face showed not panic or fear, but a cold smile that Feng Tianyu could not understand: "If you hadn't used this Phoenix Domain, you might have died a little slower."
"Hong'er, come out and work!"
"Ah… oh!"
A flash of crimson light, and the Heaven-Defying Demon-Slaying Sword was already in Yun Che's hand. At that moment, all the blazing flames in the entire Phoenix Domain seemed to pause, and Feng Tianyu's pupils constricted violently, as if stabbed by a steel needle.
In his several hundred years of life, Feng Tianyu was seeing such a massive sword for the first time. From this giant sword, he could hardly feel any aura at all. But, just the sight of it made his heart and soul twitch uncontrollably in fear.
Whoosh!!
Yun Che swung his arm, and the Heaven-Defying Sword traced a crimson arc. But it was just a simple swing, yet it brought a tearing sound like a thunderclap… His most powerful force, this Lord Emperor-level Phoenix Domain, was torn open by a slash over four zhang long and half a chi wide in front of the giant sword's trajectory.
Despite the surrounding Phoenix Flame raging and Phoenix Shadows dancing, this crack remained unhealed for a long time.
"What… sword is that?" Feng Tianyu's voice trembled.
Yun Che did not answer. His entire skeleton exploded in a series of cracks… After marrying the Little Demon Queen, he had received a large number of peerless famous swords. With Hong'er devouring them daily, the power contained within the Heaven-Defying Sword grew more and more terrifying. Its mere weight had already reached over six hundred thousand jin.
For Yun Che when he first arrived at the Illusion Demon Realm, it would have been almost impossible to wield. But for Yun Che now, handling it was as easy as controlling his own body!
Seeing Feng Tianyu's Phoenix Domain, Yun Che also saw the limit of Feng Tianyu's strength, confirming that he not only had no reason to lose to Feng Tianyu, but also had over a seventy percent chance of killing him today!
Yun Che leaped up, directly piercing through the Phoenix Domain, and swept the Heaven-Defying Demon-Slaying Sword towards Feng Tianyu.
Wherever the Heaven-Defying Sword passed, the Phoenix Domain cracked layer by layer. The violent Phoenix Flame was suppressed and completely extinguished. In the blink of an eye, it carved a hundred-zhang-long gully within this dozen-li domain. Feng Tianyu's face twisted, the Phoenix Shadow behind him struggled, and the protective profound force around his body screeched as if being pierced by thousands of steel needles. He grabbed a flame halberd, concentrating all the flames within a hundred zhang space onto the halberd, transforming it into a giant flame python that blasted towards Yun Che.
Boom!!
The flames exploded, and the sky changed color again. Under the power storm of the Heaven-Defying Sword, Feng Tianyu's flame python barely lasted half a breath before being torn to pieces. Feng Tianyu's vision went white. He felt as if a mountain had struck his chest. His flesh was instantly destroyed into a mess, barely stopped by his ribs and the protective profound force that surged back up.
The wind whistled past his ears. Feng Tianyu flew backward in a straight line for five or six li before finally stopping. His entire body's blood and energy roiled, and blood gushed from his abdomen like a fountain. He stretched out his arms, only to find several long cracks torn open on both arms.
The surrounding flames dissipated, and the temperature dropped rapidly. Having lost its power source, the Phoenix Domain directly collapsed.
He had just shouted that Yun Che would be incinerated within ten breaths under the Phoenix Domain. Yet ten breaths passed… and the result was the tragic collapse of the Phoenix Domain itself.
"Impossible…" Feng Tianyu covered his abdomen with his hand but forgot to suppress his relatively minor injury. He stared at Yun Che straight ahead, his twisted expression as if he was having a terrible nightmare: "Impossible… how could this happen…"
He had used one hundred percent of his profound force, yet he was injured by a single strike from the opponent… The domain coalescing his highest level of power had collapsed in just ten breaths.
The power that had just struck him… how could it possibly come from the hands of this person who was only in his twenties!!
"I already said, if you hadn't used the domain and saved some strength, you might have died a little slower!" A cold killing intent flashed in Yun Che's eyes. He gave Feng Tianyu no chance to catch his breath and blasted the Heaven-Defying Sword out again. The space several dozen zhang ahead was heavily dented under the domineering power of the heavy sword to an extreme degree.
The power he had just endured was as terrifying as a nightmare. How could Feng Tianyu dare to block it head-on? His pupils contracted, and his body flickered into a flame afterimage, quickly retreating several dozen zhang… But the range of the heavy sword's strike was far beyond that of ordinary weapons. Even though Feng Tianyu retreated a great distance at extreme speed, he was still swept by the residual force of the Heaven-Defying Sword. Even though it was just the residual force, it sent his whole body tumbling violently, nearly causing him to fall.
Feng Tianyu was both shocked and furious. He thrust out both claws, and two beams of Phoenix Flame several zhang thick blasted out violently, merging into one and shooting straight at Yun Che.
Boom!!
With a loud bang, the Phoenix Flame that Feng Tianyu had fully unleashed was shattered by a single sword strike from the Heaven-Defying Sword. Behind the dissipating flames, the giant sword blade approached rapidly. Feng Tianyu was greatly alarmed and retreated with all his strength, his entire profound force desperately guarding in front of him. In his terror, he no longer dared to counterattack.
——————
Within Phoenix City, the flashes of red light in the southeastern sky were clearly visible. The booming sounds, though extremely far away, were still somewhat deafening.
"Heh, there's no way that Yun Che can escape the Supreme Elder's grasp." Feng Ximing sneered coldly: "For the Supreme Elder to personally make a move… is far too generous to him!"
"It's been a while since the Supreme Elder took action, yet it still hasn't ended… Could it be that the Supreme Elder is playing a game of cat and mouse?" Feng Feilie said with a light smile. None of them had the slightest doubt that Feng Tianyu killing Yun Che would be as easy as turning his hand.
Feng Tianqing's expression was initially very calm. But as the light in the southeastern sky grew more intense and the sounds grew heavier, his brow gradually sank.
Noticing his change in expression, Feng Hengkong asked: "Supreme Elder, is there some change with Elder Tianyu?"
Feng Tianqing said in a low voice: "Tianyu initially used half of his profound force… then eighty percent… and now, he has actually raised it to one hundred percent! What's going on? Even if Yun Che's strength is exaggerated, there's no way he could force Elder Tianyu to use his full power… Could it be that someone else has appeared? Or some powerful helper traveling with Yun Che?"
At this moment, Feng Tianyu's urgent and panicked Phoenix Soul transmission suddenly sounded in Feng Tianqing's ears:
"Come… I am no match for him!!"
Feng Tianqing's expression changed drastically. He simply could not believe what he had just heard. He looked up at the southeastern sky, took a deep breath, and without explaining to Feng Hengkong and the others, he leaped up and rushed off at his fastest speed.
