Chapter 718: Yellow Springs Ashes
Scorching light poured down from the sky, dyeing every corner of Phoenix City in a blazing golden hue. The source of the light was slowly descending, like a fiery abyss devouring the firmament, its vastness enough to shroud one-third of Phoenix City... and it was still expanding.
All the Xuan adepts of the Fenghuang God Sect stopped what they were doing, staring blankly at the sky, utterly speechless with shock.
"What... is that?!"
It wasn't just Phoenix City—in Shenhuang City... even on the outskirts of Shenhuang City, almost everyone had stepped out of their dwellings or cultivation grounds, staring in shock at a blood-red sun that was descending from the sky toward Phoenix City.
Feng Hengkong's face and both pupils were illuminated into a blazing gold. Accompanying the blazing golden flames was a terrifyingly rapid rise in temperature. But even more frightening than the heat was a pressure so intense he could hardly believe it...
A pressure like the coming of the apocalypse... far more terrifying than when Yun Che had unleashed his full power earlier, and even from his father Feng Tianwei, he had never sensed such a horrifying pressure... Under this pressure, his heart pounded at an absurdly high frequency, and every cell, every nerve in his body trembled violently.
"What is going on?" a Phoenix elder asked in shock.
"Grandfather went after Yun Che... how could Yun Che appear here? Where is Grandfather?" Feng Ximing simply couldn't believe what he was seeing. Less than a quarter of an hour ago, Yun Che had been forced back by two strikes from Feng Tianwei... Feng Tianwei's attacks had all landed solidly on Yun Che. That he didn't die and still had the strength to flee could already be considered a miracle; at the very least, he should have been gravely wounded. There was no reason he could have escaped Feng Tianwei's grasp.
But now Yun Che appears here, and Feng Tianwei is nowhere to be seen.
"Immediately send a sound transmission to your grandfather!" Feng Hengkong looked up at the sky and said through gritted teeth: "Yun Che is full of tricks. He must have used some special method to shake off your grandfather's pursuit... Perhaps he even deliberately lured your grandfather away!"
"Tell your grandfather to hurry back!" The soul-shaking, heart-chilling aura had already made Feng Hengkong sense a great crisis.
"Yes, Imperial Father!" Feng Ximing quickly took out a sound transmission jade inscribed with the Phoenix Flame mark.
"Yun Che... what are you trying to do?!" Feng Hengkong growled in a low voice.
Every member of the Fenghuang God Sect possessed Phoenix bloodline and Phoenix profound force, granting them far greater resistance to high temperatures than ordinary people. But at this moment, the air temperature was already as scorching as flames. Even someone as strong as Feng Hengkong was beginning to feel a wave of heat, while lower-level disciples with weaker profound force had already started circulating their profound force to defend against it.
Increasingly thick steam began to rise from all directions, and the air and visibility were visibly distorting.
And as the fire prison in the sky continued to expand, the air temperature kept rising.
Yun Che's body halted three hundred zhang in the air, no longer descending. His complexion was slightly pale... because this "Yellow Springs Ashes Domain" had poured in all of his profound force, almost without any reservation.
It was several times stronger than the "Yellow Springs Ashes Domain" that had once incinerated the 700,000-strong Shenhuang army!
"Feng Hengkong, watch carefully. Soon, this place that once carried the will of the gods but has become utterly filthy and sinful will be reduced to ashes forever!" Yun Che sneered, his voice as sinister as a devil's whisper.
In the Huan Yao Realm, the Huan Yao imperial clan, relying on the four layers of the "Golden Crow World-Incinerating Record", had made all beings of Huan Yao submit for ten thousand years; on the Tian Xuan Continent, the Fenghuang God Sect, relying on the four layers of the "Phoenix Ode Scripture", dominated seven nations and, with a mere five thousand years of development, rivaled the ten-thousand-year-old sacred grounds.
In the Huan Yao Realm, the most powerful profound art was unquestionably the Golden Crow World-Incinerating Record. On the Tian Xuan Continent, the most powerful profound art was also widely acknowledged to be the Phoenix Ode Scripture.
And Yun Che, who possessed a Golden Crow bloodline of even higher purity than the Little Demon Empress and all previous Demon Emperors, was now executing the "Yellow Springs Ashes Domain"—a power from the seventh level of the "Golden Crow World-Incinerating Record"!
In terms of profound force, Yun Che was certainly not the strongest in the current world, but the pressure he was exuding made it several times clearer in Feng Hengkong's mind, like a devil's mark embedded in his soul, causing chills to run through his body: "Yun Che... what exactly are you trying to do?!"
"What do I want to do? Haven't I already made it very clear?" Yun Che's face darkened as he sneered. The Golden Crow domain in the sky was still expanding, and now it was almost enough to cover half of Phoenix City. "When this flame domain falls... this Phoenix City will vanish from this world forever!"
"You dare!!" Feng Hengkong's eyes were as red as blood, his tone completely changed. "If you dare to harm even a single part of Phoenix City, I... I swear I will raze the Cang Feng Kingdom to the ground, leaving not a blade of grass!"
"Hahahaha!" Yun Che laughed loudly. "Feng Hengkong, you really refuse to shed tears even when you see the coffin. I kill your sons as easily as killing a chicken, without even a frown... And you ask if I dare?!"
