418: Legendary creature, the Ice and Fire Phoenix.

"Quick!"

"There's not much time left!"

"We must forge a Red-grade equipment for the Supreme Divine Emperor before the Ascension Ceremony!"

Jingming City, Dragon Heart Furnace.

Scalding magma, like blood, surged from the volcano's crater.

The former Kyushu Equipment Forging Park was destroyed in an instant.

Fortunately, the flowing magma was blocked by clumps of flesh, preventing it from entering the city.

Even so, Jingming City's millions of residents were urgently evacuated and moved to a safe zone.

They gathered on high ground, watching from afar as volcanic ash soared into the sky, witnessing their homes being swallowed by it.

But there was no look of loss in their eyes; instead, they cheered towards the direction of the volcanic eruption.

The eruption of the Dragon Heart Furnace was not a natural disaster, but a man-made one.

At this moment, the most powerful blacksmiths in Shenzhou were gathered at the volcano's crater.

They were forging new Imperial Robes for the Supreme Divine Emperor to wear during his ascension.

Those were three sets of Red-grade equipment.

Equipment of this grade was already the ceiling on the market.

As for the Black-grade above it, it might exist, but there was no possibility of it circulating.

It was said that the Nine War Gods, who transcended long ago, were bestowed with Black-grade equipment by the gods.

And above Black-grade, the Gold-grade and Rainbow-grade were theoretical existences, without even specific legends.

Logically, one piece of Red-grade equipment would not cause the Dragon Heart Furnace to erupt.

But this time, the most powerful blacksmiths in Shenzhou were to forge three sets of Red-grade equipment consecutively.

This required a massive amount of energy support; even the Dragon Heart Furnace, with its Dragon heart, would be instantly drained.

So... the Supreme Divine Emperor's guards killed two more Ancient Dragons, adding two new engines to the Dragon Heart Furnace.

At this time, there were already three hearts of Ancient Dragons in the volcano; how could it not boil?

Fortunately, the Supreme Divine Emperor arrived with his mobile palace, using his Divine Ability to block the magma and prevent the city from being completely damaged.

At the same time, the blacksmiths worked day and night, having just completed one set of equipment.

It was a battle robe of red and black, and an eight-sided longsword.

The battle robe and longsword floated in the air, shining with the red essence of heaven and earth.

The blacksmiths, seeing the battle robe as if seeing the Supreme Divine Emperor, all looked on with reverence.

On either side of the finished battle robe were two gray-white battle robes and two dull sword blanks.

Those two sets of equipment could not be formed due to the lack of core Materials.

All the blacksmiths could do at this moment was wait.

Waiting for the Supreme Divine Emperor's Imperial Guards, who could go anywhere and do anything, to deliver the Materials... Snowy Northern Kingdom.

Black lightning raged in the snowstorm.

Continuously striking the stern ice mountain.

The black lightning, condensed from the power of annihilation, could destroy all matter.

The ice mountain, which had not melted for ten thousand years, instantly collapsed and disintegrated, from which a scorching pillar of fire surged.

"The Icefire Phoenix truly exists!"

Gun Emperor Zheng Yunfei, holding a long spear, floated in the air, his eyes filled with excitement.

From within the cracked ice mountain, firelight soared into the sky.

Vaguely, a gigantic figure appeared.

It was a bird-like demonic creature, with a wingspan of about one kilometer.

One wing was ice, and the other was fire.

Its massive body was composed of sparkling crystal.

The moment it flew out of the ruins of the ice mountain, the entire world trembled.

This was the legendary demonic creature, the Icefire Phoenix, only recorded in ancient texts.

Legend has it that one of the Nine War Gods from back then rode an Icefire Phoenix.

After transcending to the heavens, he sealed this demonic creature within the ice mountain to protect the vast snowy plains.

Such a legendary demonic creature, guarding the mountains and rivers, had now become prey.

"This Zhang Lingxiao fellow has some skill."

"He was actually able to deduce the Seal location of the Icefire Phoenix."

"It's estimated that even the Snow Queen doesn't know the location of this guardian Divine Beast."

Zheng Yunfei held his long spear, floating in the air, surveying the vast snowy plains.

At this moment, he had already ventured deep into the Snowy Northern Kingdom's heartland and caused such a huge commotion.

It wouldn't be long before the Emperor Tier experts of the Snowy Territory would come out in full force to kill him.

"The hunt must be swift."

Zheng Yunfei narrowed his eyes at the Icefire Phoenix, and its attributes immediately appeared before him.

[Name]: Icefire Phoenix.

[Race]: Legendary Creature.

[Rank]: Level 180.

[Strength]: 105000.

[Agility]: 165000.

[Physique]: 105000.

[Spirit]: 165000.

"5-star potential!"

"As expected of a guardian Divine Beast, a mount of a Transcendent Tier powerhouse."

After seeing the Icefire Phoenix's attributes.

Even the Gun Emperor, who could break through anything, took a deep breath.

Emperor Rank, 5-star potential.

These attributes far surpassed Zheng Yunfei's.

"Human, why disturb my slumber?"

An ethereal voice rang out.

The Icefire Phoenix actually spoke human words, questioning Zheng Yunfei with majesty.

In its gem-like eyes, there was only indifference, as if it were looking at an ant.

This was reasonable.

The Icefire Phoenix had participated in the Divine War 500 years ago.

It had followed one of the most powerful Nine War Gods.

Its strength was almost invincible in the Human Realm.

How could it put this unknown Emperor Rank human in its eyes?

However, the tiny human also did not take this legendary creature to heart.

"I am Zheng Yunfei, one of the Four Emperors of the Shenzhou Empire."

"I have come this time to take your heart."

Zheng Yunfei raised his spear and pointed it at the legendary creature, like an ant opening its jaw to a giant beast.

"Shenzhou Empire?"

"I haven't heard of it."

"If you think you have the ability to take my heart, then come."

The Icefire Phoenix's tone was relaxed, as if joking with a child.

But the next moment, its voice turned cold, and it said with overwhelming pressure: "But if you fail, I will not only kill you, but also destroy your so-called Shenzhou Empire."

"Such powerful pressure..."

Zheng Yunfei barely managed to maintain his floating state.

The other party merely released a bit of pressure, and it almost crushed him.

Indeed.

Humans without potential are still at a great disadvantage when facing powerful demonic creatures!

"As expected of a legendary creature, if I came alone, I would definitely be killed, right?"

Zheng Yunfei said with a bitter smile.

The Icefire Phoenix said with interest: "Oh? You have helpers?"

Zheng Yunfei nodded: "In fact, I am not qualified to fight you yet; I just came to break your Seal."

Saying this, he hoisted his long spear and pointed his thumb backward: "Your opponents are them."

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

As soon as Zheng Yunfei finished speaking.

30 figures flashed out of the air.

They were swordsmen wearing flying fish robes, flying saucer helmets, and dragon scale masks.

Their equipment, attire, and weapons were all identical, even their Physiques were the same.

Those who didn't know might think they were NPC grunts.

After all, the demonic creatures in the Secret Realm also looked similar.

But in fact, each of these NPC grunts had the strength of the Emperor Tier!

They also had a unified name, like NPC grunts: Imperial Guards.

Seeing the 30 Imperial Guards appear in the air,

A solemn expression appeared in the eyes of the legendary creature, the Icefire Phoenix.

Killing one Emperor Tier was no problem, but killing 30 was a bit difficult!

"It seems that humans have developed very quickly in these 500 years."

"One country can possess so many Emperor Rank powerhouses."

"I admit, 30 Emperors will cause me some trouble."

The Icefire Phoenix's tone was no longer relaxed, but it wasn't fear either.

After all, it had the strength of the Transcendent Tier, and dealing with 30 Emperor Tier experts, it still had a chance to retreat unscathed.

However, Zheng Yunfei shook his head.

"Not just them, they're not even the main attackers yet."

Then, he pointed upwards, "He is."

Da da da!

Then, the sound of horse hooves rolled in.

The Icefire Phoenix looked up into the sky and was immediately stunned.

A "red cloud" was surging towards it from the horizon.

A clear voice rang out: "You foreign bandit leader! Do you recognize your Grandpa Huo!?"

Icefire Phoenix: "No, you all..."
