Chapter 479 - The Godly Phoenix Undergoes Nirvana, Suppressing The Boundary Emperor Bai Liyin
The Godly Phoenix stood proudly in the air with divine splendor surging from her body.
The ninth tribulation lightning of the Nine Colored Heavenly Tribulation immediately struck down, forming a pillar of lightning that enveloped the Godly Phoenix.
The boundless lightning energy wreaked havoc on her body and continuously caused damage to it.
Large amounts of flames burned on her body, resisting the thunder.
The Godly Phoenix’s blood flowed out as her body continued to sustain injuries.
However, she held on. Determination flashed in her golden eyes while the spiritual power within her body surged against the tribulation lightning.
Eventually, the tribulation lightning dispersed.
The Godly Phoenix fell to the ground. Her body was scorched black, losing the noble and dignified look it had earlier. It was already on the brink of death.
Chu Kuangren breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the Godly Phoenix was alive, he could heal her using his Spring Breeze Healing Technique.
Just as he wanted to go up to her, the Godly Phoenix signaled him to stop with her gaze.
Following that, the Godly Phoenix’s head tilted as she severed her life force and fell onto the ground. There was no sign of life or energy in her.
“It’s dead?”
“Is the Godly Phoenix really dead? Are you kidding me?!”
“Sigh. I guess even a divine beast is still no match for such a terrifying Nine Colored Heavenly Tribulation. What a shame. After all, that was a divine beast.”
Everyone looked at the Godly Phoenix sadly as they discussed.
Meanwhile, some looked at the Godly Phoenix’s corpse with desire burning in their eyes. Although it was dead, it was still a Godly Phoenix, so the energy contained within its corpse would undoubtedly be a great treasure to any cultivator.
The phoenix’s marrow, blood, and guts were all priceless items.
“Sect Leader…”
The White-Robed General walked up to Chu Kuangen, intending to offer a few words of comfort.
However, he realized that Chu Kuangren was still standing indifferently on the spot. The White-Robed General could not help but feel surprised when he noticed that Chu Kuangren was not as sad as he imagined.
Was Chu Kuangren not as close to the Godly Phoenix as he thought?
“Subject is currently in a state of Nirvana, overall progress – close to fifty-one percent…”
A large number of runes swirled within Chu Kuangren’s eyes.
The information that the Eye of Revelation had provided was before him, and it was the reason why he was not sad at all.
The Godly Phoenix was not dead yet!
She was still… undergoing a rebirth through Nirvana!
Boom!
At that time, something loud echoed through the skies.
A gigantic black hand suddenly crashed down and reached towards the Godly Phoenix.
The domineering aura contained in that gigantic hand was so terrifying that it set off a storm that forced the White-Robed General, who was beside Chu Kuangren, back by a hundred meters.
The surrounding cultivators, including the Nine Heavens sky-prides, could not help but fall back as well. When they saw the incoming giant hand, their expressions changed.
“This is a Boundary Emperor’s aura!”
“A Boundary Emperor has taken action! He is attempting to snatch the Godly Phoenix’s corpse!”
Everyone was shocked.
They did not expect that the Godly Phoenix’s death would gain the attention of a Boundary Emperor.
Just as the aura of that giant hand forced everyone back.
“Hmph!”
A cold grunt was suddenly heard.
Chu Kuangren remained as upright as a sword and as still as a mountain!
He gently and effortlessly lifted his hand. However, the moment he unleashed a palm attack, horrifying cyclones swept throughout the whole area, causing the volcano entrance to rumble.
A majestic golden palm sign manifested and launched towards the incoming gigantic black hand.
The moment the two energies clashed, the shockwaves split the volcano apart and caused everything within a thousand-kilometer radius to tremble.
A muffled grunt rang from the void.
An elderly man in black robes was shaken out of the void.
Chu Kuangren activated his Eye of Revelation.
“Bai Liyin, cultivation level – Boundary Emperor, cultivates the Heavenly Dark Ember Devouring Art, a technique which enables the user to absorb fire-attributed treasures to increase their own strength…”
Absorb fire-attributed treasures to increase their own strength?
No wonder he decided to act against the Godly Phoenix.
If someone were to ask which item was the most valuable fire-attributed treasure in this world, the answer would be nothing else but a Godly Phoenix’s corpse.
“The Supreme Sage’s strength is indeed formidable.”
Boundary Emperor Bai Liyin looked at Chu Kuangren with awe-filled eyes. After all, the Supreme Sage had only ever existed in ancient legends.
Now that one has appeared in this world, the level of strength he displayed was extremely terrifying.
Although his cultivation level was considered above average for a Boundary Emperor, he still suffered a loss from facing Chu Kuangren head-on.
“Coveting the Godly Phoenix, I see. How do you want to die?”
Chu Kuangren asked.
The Descendant Self Sword at his waist unsheathed and revealed half of its sword body. A chilling Sword-based Daoist Rhyme swept across the land and enveloped Bai Liyin within it as well.
“Sect Leader Chu, there’s no need for you to be angry. This Godly Phoenix is already dead. I’m willing to trade a few valuable treasures with you for it. How about that?”
Bai Liyin offered.
He had just awakened from the Forbidden Area not long ago. Upon sensing the Opportunities of Fortune from this volcano, he decided to come and check it out, only to find that a Godly Phoenix was undergoing an ascension trial there instead. This Godly Phoenix’s corpse was just too valuable and beneficial to him.
If he could refine it, his potential for great strength would increase a great deal.
He might even become the strongest person below the level of an Emperor in this world.
Hence, how could he possibly let such an Opportunity of Fortune slip away?
“I won’t allow you to take a single feather from the Godly Phoenix even if you trade ten of your lives with me.”
Chu Kuangren replied coldly.
The Descendant Self Sword at his waist unsheathed and unleashed a streak of purple sword ray. An incomparably razor-sharp Daoist Rhyme immediately locked onto Bai Liyin.
Bai Liyin did not expect Chu Kuangren to attack without saying another word.
With that, he hurriedly blocked that attack.
The surrounding spiritual qi started to surge. Since they were at a volcano and everywhere was filled with dense Fire-based qi, this made it the best environment for Bai Liyin to fight in.
As soon as he unleashed a palm attack, countless flame currents turned into a devastating storm.
The sword ray and palm attack collided.
As a consequence, both of them were forced back.
Although they both got the brunt of the impact, the escaped energy had sent countless other cultivators flying as well.
Bai Liyin’s body trembled upon withstanding the impact. Even a Boundary Emperor like him could feel tightness and shortness of breath in his chest, so he was stunned to see Chu Kuangren unaffected.
‘This guy’s Sage body is so strong?!’
“Heavenly Dark Ember Devouring!”
Bai Liyin lifted his hand and started to absorb the Fire-based spiritual power from heaven and earth. As multiple black flame currents formed in the void, he condensed them into a monstrous bundle of flames that emanated with an overpowering Daoist Rhyme and hurled it towards Chu Kuangren.
“Heaven-Slaying Sword Drawing Technique”
Chu Kuangren raised his sword and attacked.
That sword attack contained an even stronger and terrifying aura as it was mixed with a surge of overbearing Heavenly Punishment Daoist Rhyme!
With the help of the Heavenly Punishment Daoist Rhyme, the might of Chu Kuangren’s sword attack rose to a terrifying level.
The sword qi instantly tore through the terrifying black flame current, shocking Bai Liyin. However, he stretched out both of his palms and struck out an attack. Although he had managed to block that sword ray with great difficulty, his palms were cut.
“What a powerful sword ray, and what the hell was that surge of Daoist Rhyme? It has suppressed my Daoist Rhyme!”
“Just like an incoming… Heavenly Might?!”
“How strong is this guy?”
Tonnes of questions popped up in Bai Liyin’s mind.
However, a surge of sword qi immediately hit him, not allowing Bai Liyin any time to think. Since his Daoist Rhyme was suppressed by the Heavenly Punishment Daoist Rhyme, and his foundation level could not overpower Chu Kuangren, Bai Liyin soon found himself gradually losing ground.
“D*mn it!”
“It’ll be bad news for me if this goes on.”
Bai Liyin thought to himself.
Although he felt embarrassed for being defeated by a Sage, his life was still more important than his reputation.
His figure flashed and turned into a ray of light before he darted into the distance.
It was clear he knew he was no match for Chu Kuangren, so he fled.
“Leaving so soon?”
Chu Kuangren let out a low grunt as his spiritual thoughts surged and drew a huge silver-white rune in the void. It was the Spatial Cessation Rune!!
