As Xiao Yan’s loud laughter echoed across the sky, a three-colored fire lotus the size of a basin in his palm transformed into a fiery beam, rushing towards Feng Qing-er in the sky! The space around the fiery lotus rippled violently, and a dark spatial rift appeared as if ink was splashed onto the void, creating an endless, deep darkness that sent shivers down one’s spine.
The moment the fiery lotus flew out, it seemed to stir the energy of the world. A fierce wind arose, and the energy between heaven and earth became chaotic. This phenomenon left countless onlookers astounded. Such terrifying power was something even those who had entered the Battle Sect realm for many years would find hard to achieve.
In the sky, Feng Qing-er looked at the fiery lotus that had turned into a blazing streak, her cold expression finally shifting. Within that fire lotus, she truly felt a destructive aura. Under such a presence, even someone with her status couldn’t help but feel a wave of shock. At this point, she finally realized that she might have underestimated this young man whose age was not much different from hers.
She had always believed that Xiao Yan accomplished his shocking feats through external assistance. However, today, when this terrifying three-colored fire lotus appeared, no matter how unwilling she was, she had to quickly increase her evaluation of him. Otherwise, the one suffering in the end would likely be herself.
Her beautiful eyes fixed on the fiery lotus slicing through the air, trailing immense energy surges and spatial rifts, her face grew serious. With a wave of her jade-like hand, the black light sweeping across the horizon also flew back like lightning. Then, under the watchful eyes of many, it once again entered the large, illusory Black Phoenix behind her.
As the strange black light merged, the massive illusory Black Phoenix instantly became more substantial. The dreadful pressure that oozed from it also intensified rapidly.
“Saint Image Demon Phoenix Seal!” Feng Qing-er’s hands flashed, forming a dizzying array of symbols. Then, from her lips, a chilling shout emerged.
As her words fell, the massive illusory Black Phoenix behind her seemed to come back to life, emitting a sharp phoenix cry. The black bird light suddenly flared up, enveloping Feng Qing-er’s body within it.
Once her body was enveloped, the thick black light began to move, and in a moment, it condensed into a huge, ten-zhang-tall, jet-black bell!
This colossal bell was entirely black, with its surface engraved with a black phoenix soaring high, emanating a continuous stream of strange black flames. Though it was made of energy, it appeared even more real than a tangible object, and the black light flowing over it was identical to that of a real object.
The sudden appearance of the enormous black bell naturally caused a wave of surprised exclamations. From a distance, it exuded an indestructible, terrifying aura. One could imagine how incredibly sturdy it must be; even some Battle Sect level powerhouses’ full-strength attacks would struggle to break it.
“Demon Phoenix Bell…”
On the seats, the four Reverends gazed at the giant black bell, their expressions slightly grave. In the circles of eligible powerhouses, this item had a very strong reputation.
“Legend has it that the Demon Phoenix Bell is an ancient Dou skill passed down by the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan, created by a senior Heaven Demon Phoenix with Dou Sage-level strength. Its defensive power is extremely formidable, and it can also be used to unleash extremely devastating sound wave attacks. It is both offensive and defensive, making it extremely difficult to handle. It is a specialty of the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan, and few of the same rank can break it… But this girl has only cultivated the basics. If the old fossils of the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan were to use it, perhaps the entire hundred miles would be covered, and with a single sound, all life within would be destroyed…”
Sword Reverend whistled in admiration, stroking his beard.
“However, it’s a pity that the Saint Image Demon Phoenix Bell requires the bloodline of the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan to activate.”
Yellow Springs Reverend’s gaze revealed a hint of ardor, followed by a wistful sigh. At their level, very few things still attracted them, but the Saint Image Demon Phoenix Bell was one. With his strength, if he were to use the Demon Phoenix Bell, he might even be able to stand up to two Dou Zun powerhouses of the same rank.
“Yellow Springs Reverend, don’t lose your head. The Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan’s things are best left untouched. Those guys won’t let anyone touch their clansmen’s bodies, let alone such a precious Dou skill,” Thunder Reverend said with a faint smile.
Hearing this, Yellow Springs Reverend’s expression changed slightly before he chuckled, “Just joking. I’m not that foolish.”
The Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan’s status in the Beast World was akin to the Central Plains’ Pill Tower and Soul Temple, a towering presence. Their strength was extraordinarily frightening, and although the Yellow Springs Pavilion was not weak, it still fell short in comparison.
“The Demon Phoenix Bell is indeed powerful, but the basics aren’t enough to make a difference,” Wind Reverend said with a faint smile, looking at the gigantic Demon Phoenix Bell.
No one contradicted him. Feng Qing-er’s Demon Phoenix Bell was indeed formidable, but the strange three-colored fire lotus was also extremely terrifying, especially the trace of destructive power it contained, which even a powerhouse like Thunder Reverend found deeply unsettling.
With their keen eyes, they knew that this confrontation would determine the victor. But as of now, they could not predict the outcome.
As soon as the enormous black bell solidified, the fiery glow of the fire lotus sliced through the sky, appearing minuscule compared to the former’s size. Yet, despite its small size, the terrifying power it contained was not to be underestimated.
Under the watchful eyes of countless people, the fiery glow, like tiny sand grains, resolutely crashed into the giant bell!
*DONG!*
At the moment of impact, a thunderous bell sound echoed, and a massive sound wave spread out from the bell’s surface, churning the clouds in the sky.
Immediately after the bell sound, a low, resonant noise followed. At that instant, the basin-sized three-colored fire lotus quietly exploded!
Though the explosion wasn’t loud, the sudden burst of three-colored flame waves rose like a giant tsunami, turning the entire sky into a sea of flames!
The temperature skyrocketed, and in the distant Wind and Thunder Mountains, some areas were directly set ablaze, with plumes of smoke rising to the sky.
The overwhelming wave of fire, like a sky-shrouding veil, vaporized the thick black clouds above Lei Mountain. The lightning within them, now like terrified mice before a cat, fled in panic under the onslaught of the three-colored flames, dissipating…
At the moment of the three-colored fire lotus’ explosion, Lei Mountain descended into chaos!
On Lei Mountain, countless people were drenched in sweat, unable to completely isolate themselves from the intense heat. Everyone watched the endless sea of three-colored fire in the sky, their hearts trembling. If the fire had descended just a bit further, the entire Lei Mountain might have been utterly destroyed!
On the seats, the expressions of the four Reverends also shifted. They never expected Xiao Yan to display such a terrifying Dou skill. Even some six-star Battle Sect powerhouses would find it challenging to match this level of destruction. Now, it was being displayed by a one-star Battle Sect!
With their keen judgment, they knew that Xiao Yan was using his own strength, with no external assistance. And because of this, their sense of shock was even more profound.
Beside Thunder Reverend, Fei Tian was also staring in astonishment. The three-colored flames spreading across the sky highlighted his face in a comical fashion. Under the blast of the three-colored fire lotus, even he felt a bone-deep sense of danger. If he faced such an attack, he might survive with his own strength, but the price would be high.
“This young man is truly dangerous…”
Taking a deep breath, Fei Tian’s face turned serious. The weight of Xiao Yan in his heart climbed rapidly.
Innumerable gazes stared in awe at the sea of flames in the sky. At its center, the black bell stood steady, but its surface, under the impact of the three-colored flame waves, started to ripple with energy.
Seeing the black bell unchanged by the three-colored flame waves, Thunder Reverend let out a small sigh of relief. As long as Feng Qing-er could hold on under this attack, the match would undoubtedly end with her victory!
*Crack!*
But just as Thunder Reverend exhaled, a clear, faint sound rang out in the silent sky.
Though the sound was soft, it did not escape Thunder Reverend’s ears. His hand tightened, and he slowly lifted his head, his eyes narrowing as he saw tiny cracks spreading across the surface of the black bell.
