Chapter 1602 - No Humiliation!
Translator: Legge
“Frost Barrier!”
Matriarch Yue Luo released a greater divine power right away and a chilling frost barrier was formed around her instantly!
The entire frost barrier was formed like a gigantic ice crystal with defined edges!
Shing!
‘When the scarlet lava splashed onto the frost barrier, the two powers of ice and fire collided and green smoke billowed instantly with an ear-piercing sound!
The lava slid down the frost barrier and engulfed Matriarch Yue Luo completely.
The light of the frost barrier flickered as well.
The edges of the ice crystals had already been melted by the lava.
However, the scorching lava could not penetrate the ice crystals completely!
In this fight between two different powers, neither side yielded.
The Dragon Phoenix True Body had a cold expression and swooped down. He reached out with his gigantic, menacing Dragon Phoenix claws and dug into the gigantic ice crystals!
Crack! Crack! Crack!
Raging flames burned on the Dragon Phoenix claws as well. Like iron hooks that were burned red, the claws pierced the ice crystals instantly!
Matriarch Yue Luo’s expression changed starkly when she saw that!
If the frost barrier had no openings, it could hold out for a long time.
But now that the barrier was pierced by the Dragon Phoenix True Body, cracks appeared on the ice crystals and scorching lava began to seep in!
She could not hold on for long.
“Roar!”
Right then, the Dragon Phoenix True Body roared into the skies and flapped his wings. Flames surged as the Dragon Phoenix claws tore towards both sides!
Once the Taboo Dragon Phoenix released his full strength, given the sharpness of the Dragon Phoenix claws, he could even rip the massive body of the Kun race into two!
Snap!
The Dragon Phoenix True Body did not give Matriarch Yue Luo any time at all. He tore the frost barrier apart and countless ice shards fell to the ground.
“Slash!”
Matriarch Yue Luo channeled the Astral Sword in her hands and stabbed towards the Dragon Phoenix True Body.
The Dragon Phoenix True Body did not dodge or avoid. He reached out with his Dragon Phoenix claw and ignored the sharpness of the Astral Sword, grabbing it in his palm!
The other Dragon Phoenix claw descended and arrived above Matriarch Yue Luo’s head in the blink of an eye; the nails of the claw were sharp and cold.
As long as he exerted strength, he could pierce Matriarch Yue Luo’s head!
Victory was decided.
Under the envelopment of the Dragon Phoenix claw, Matriarch Yue Luo could not even send her Essence Spirit out of her body—she did not dare to act rashly!
The Dragon Phoenix True Body reverted to his human form and carried the white cat Beiming Xue had transformed into with his left hand. He pushed down Matriarch Yue Luo’s head with his right hand with a cold expression.
Having cultivated to this point, Matriarch Yue Luo did not wish to die.
Although the Dragon Phoenix True Body was decisive to kill, he did not kill her immediately—that gave her a sliver of hope.
“Desolate Martial, I was wrong in this matter,”
Matriarch Yue Luo gulped and forced a smile. “However, I only used a divine power on Beiming Xue but I did not kill her. Please show mercy and give me a chance.”
Many cultivators were emotional when they saw that.
That was a Mahayana Matriarch, a perfected one at that!
If Matriarch Yue Luo had not humiliated Beiming Xue and offended the Dragon Phoenix True Body, she might even have the chance to tide through the Tribulation Transcendence and ascend to the upper world!
However, at that moment, in order to survive, Matriarch Yue Luo couldn’t care less about her dignity and begged in front of the Dragon Phoenix True Body.
‘The Dragon Phoenix True Body was expressionless as he asked, “If I give you a chance, who is going to give Beiming a chance?”
“S-She can still recover!”
Matriarch Yue Luo said hurriedly, “As long as there’s a Patriarch who comprehended the Human Dao greater divine power, he can transform her back! I know that there’s an accomplished monk like that in the Buddhist monasteries!”
“Is that so?”
The Dragon Phoenix True Body let go gently and placed Beiming Xue on the ground. He looked at Matriarch Yue Luo. “Since you made a mistake, you have to be accountable.”
When she heard that, Matriarch Yue Luo felt uneasy.
“Kneel down and apologize to her!”
The Dragon Phoenix True Body pointed at the white cat on the ground and said coldly.
“What?!”
A furious look flashed through Matriarch Yue Luo’s eyes.
She was a Mahayana Matriarch.
The fact that she had to plead humbly in front of everyone’s watchful eyes was her bottom line.
But now, the Dragon Phoenix True Body wanted her to kneel down and apologize to a white cat, a beast!
“Desolate Martial!”
Matriarch Yue Luo frowned and said sternly with widened eyes, “As a Mahayana Matriarch, I have my dignity and pride. Even if I have to die here, I won’t kneel to a beast!”
She could speak humbly and even swallow her pride to plead for mercy.
However, if she were to kneel and apologize to a beast, even if she could survive, she would definitely become the laughing stock of the cultivation world!
Her Dao Heart could even collapse on the spot!
“In my hands, you don’t get to decide your own life and death!”
The Dragon Phoenix True Body sneered, “Even if you want to die, you have to kneel down!”
‘The Dragon Phoenix True Body extended his leg and tapped Matriarch Yue Luo on the knees gently, causing the sound of bones cracking to ring out!
Crack! Crack! Crack!
Matriarch Yue Luo’s knee was shattered by the Dragon Phoenix True Body and not a single bone was intact!
“ah!”
Matriarch Yue Luo cried in pain with a pale expression.
The Dragon Phoenix True Body exerted strength in his palm and pushed Matriarch Yue Luo down!
Thump!
Matriarch Yue Luo knelt on the ground and faced the white cat Beiming Xue transformed into!
“You!”
Matriarch Yue Luo’s face flushed red and she trembled in pain; she was grinding her teeth so badly they were about to shatter.
However, her Essence Spirit could not break free from the control of the Dragon Phoenix True Body!
“Since you refuse to apologize, I’ll help you!”
Under countless gazes, the Dragon Phoenix True Body pushed down Matriarch Yue Luo’s head and it landed heavily on the ground with a bang, kowtowing!
A Mahayana Matriarch was kneeling and kowtowing to a white cat!
“This Desolate Martial is truly savage. This is even more ruthless than killing Matriarch Yue Luo!”
“A scholar can be killed but not humiliated. Isn’t Desolate Martial’s actions a little overboard?”
“Overboard?”
Acultivator shook his head gently. “None of you can tell Desolate Martial’s intentions!”
“What?”
The surrounding cultivators asked.
“Even if Beiming Xue has a chance to become a human again in the future, her experience this time round will definitely leave an indestructible scar in her Dao Heart!”
The cultivator said, “No matter how strong she will be in the future, everyone will remember one thing—Beiming Xue was once reduced to a beast! There’s a high chance that this matter will become her mental demon.”
Many cultivators nodded.
The cultivator continued, “Right now, what Desolate Martial is doing is to erase the scar in Beiming Xue’s Dao Heart.”
“Furthermore, Desolate Martial wants everyone in the world to see that although Beiming Xue was once reduced to a beast, the Matriarch who dealt with her knelt and kowtowed in front of her!”
“Although Beiming Xue was once reduced to a beast, she sat on the back of a Taboo Dragon Phoenix and a Mahayana Matriarch knelt and kowtowed to her!”
“Who in the world has such an experience?”
“Not only will this not become Beiming Xue’s mental demon, it might even help her temper an even stronger Dao Heart!”
Many cultivators were in deep thought.
Another person said coldly, “That’s probably not Desolate Martial’s only intention,”
“Desolate Martial is also warning the living beings of the ten thousand races and all the experts of the world that his disciples can’t be bullied! Otherwise, that’s the outcome! Mahayana Patriarchs are no exception!”
