129: True Spirit - Golden Phoenix Resurrection

A Phoenix cry, though faint, was incredibly clear, filled with endless sorrow, towering rage, and indomitable Battle Intent. It seemed to pierce through time from eons ago, yet also echoed suddenly from the deepest part of everyone's Soul!

The moment that Phoenix cry rang out!

Time seemed to freeze across the entire altar square!

Great Master Ku Zhu: "!!!"

Garuda Remnant Soul: "What?! This sound?! Impossible!!! It's been dead for ages!!!"

Lin Feng suddenly opened his eyes!

It worked?! He really could communicate?!

"Screech— — — — — — — —!!!"

That Phoenix cry, piercing through eternity and imbued with endless sorrow and unyielding Battle Intent, didn't spread through the air but directly resonated in the deepest part of every living being's Soul on the square! It was like an invisible giant hammer, fiercely smashing open the frozen time and atmosphere of despair!

All Cultivators, including Great Master Ku Zhu and Garuda Remnant Soul who were fighting desperately, paused for a moment!

Great Master Ku Zhu's Bright King Dharma Appearance, propelled by his burning Buddhist blood, suddenly halted its resolute charge towards the demonic heart. The dazzling Buddhist light seemed to be drawn by this cry, flickering slightly. His gaunt face was filled with extreme shock and disbelief as he abruptly turned his head towards Lin Feng, his eyes bursting with unprecedented brilliance! 'He... he actually... did it?!'

And on that pulsating, dark demonic heart, Garuda's distorted face instantly twisted to the extreme, letting out a shriek of terror and despair, like a beast whose tail had been stepped on: "No! Impossible! This sound... is that dead Phoenix?! Its body and Soul were destroyed long ago! How could there still be a remnant thought?! An illusion! It must be an illusion!"

However, what happened next completely shattered his delusion!

Buzz—!!!

Centered on Lin Feng, the cold black stone slab beneath his feet suddenly became scorching hot! Tiny, yet incredibly pure, streaks of colorful light, like awakenedVeins, seeped out from the cracks in the stone slab, rapidly converging beneath his feet!

Immediately after, the entire altar square began to shake violently! This was not the destructive tremor caused by the previous battle, but a deeper resonance, as if the heart of the entire Secret Realm was beating anew!

At the edge of the square, the strange runes inscribed there, which originally flowed with dark Devilish Qi, now seemed to be forcibly purified by some power. The Devilish Qi hissed and dissipated as if encountering its nemesis, while the runes themselves glowed with a faint, warm golden-red luster! It was as if ancient imprints, dormant for countless years, were finally awakened by their true owner!

"Crack... crunch..."

The eight Vicious Beast demonic shadows that were besieging the Bright King Dharma Appearance let out pained wails as if being scorched by invisible flames. Their movements instantly became stiff and sluggish, their Devilish Qi rapidly evaporating, even revealing parts of the original dark red material of the statues! They seemed to have encountered a natural nemesis, an absolute suppression from the very Origin of life and power!

And high above, the swirling, ominous dark red mist now boiled like water, rapidly tinged with a dazzling golden and colorful light! It was as if an invisible sun was slowly rising behind the haze!

"Screech—!"

Another Phoenix cry, even clearer, more resonant, and imbued with endless majesty and wrath, rang out!

This time, the sound had a source!

In the sky, now colored by the colorful and golden light, endless rays of light converged like rivers returning to the sea, finally forming a colossal, breathtakingly elegant and beautiful Golden Phoenix phantom!

This phantom was not a physical entity, even more ethereal than Great Master Ku Zhu's Bright King Dharma Appearance, but the supreme, transcendent spiritual majesty it radiated genuinely weighed upon everyone's hearts! It was as if facing an ancient deity!

The Phoenix phantom's wings covered the sky, flowing with colorful light, each feather seemingly condensed from the purest fire and light, its long tail feathers trailing like a river woven from rainbows. Its eyes were two burning Nirvana fires, coldly and with deep-seated hatred, locked onto the pulsating, dark demonic heart below!

The Golden Phoenix's remnant will manifested!

Although it was only a tiny manifestation of a surviving will, its status was so high, and its restraint over Devilish Qi so strong, that it far surpassed Great Master Ku Zhu's Bright King Dharma Appearance!

"No! Fake! It's all fake!" Garuda Remnant Soul let out a hysterical roar, the demonic heart pulsating even more frantically, spewing out monstrous Devilish Qi in an attempt to resist the true spiritual pressure, but as that Devilish Qi approached the Golden Phoenix phantom, it rapidly melted away like ice and snow encountering the scorching sun!

"Ga! Ru! Da!"

A cold, majestic, yet infinitely hateful female voice, as if coming from the Nine Heavens, and as if echoing from eons ago to the present, clearly resounded between heaven and earth!

A cold, majestic, yet infinitely hateful female voice, as if coming from the Nine Heavens, and as if echoing from eons ago to the present, clearly resounded between heaven and earth!

"You traitor of the Spirit Realm! Lackey of the Heavenly Demons! Having clung to life until now, you still dare to attempt to break free and poison all living beings!"

The Golden Phoenix phantom suddenly spread its wings!

Whoosh—!!!

Endless golden light poured down like a tsunami, not a simple energyImpact, but a Law of light imbued with purification and judgment!

Wherever the light passed, the pervasive Devilish Qi dissipated as if purified. The Eight Vicious Beasts Devouring Spirit Altar let out an unbearable groan, its surface's dark runes flickering wildly, as if about to shatter at any moment!

The Golden Phoenix phantom suddenly flapped its right wing!

Whoosh—!!!

No longer a simple downpour of light, but like a heavenly river bursting its banks! Endless colorful light transformed into a tangible torrent of light, surging and roaring as it washed down! Within this torrent, resided the wrath of the Secret Realm's Origin, and the Law of purification from the Golden Phoenix's surviving will!

Wherever the colorful light passed, space was purified inch by inch! The pervasive, foul Devilish Qi, as if encountering the nemesis of all nemeses, dissolved and evaporated instantly, turning into the most fundamental particles and dissipating, without even having time to wail! Even the energy residue left over from the previous battle was completely purified!

The Eight Vicious Beasts Devouring Spirit Altar, bearing the brunt of the attack, let out an incredibly mournful groan! Countless dark runes on its surface flickered madly, attempting to resist, but under the onslaught of the colorful light torrent, they rapidly melted and disintegrated like snow under sunlight! The altar's cold black stone slab even began to warm, faintly revealing a hint of its original jade-white luster!

"Ah—! My Formation!"

Garuda Remnant Soul let out a heartbroken roar, the demonic heart frantically spewing Devilish Qi, attempting to reinforce the altar, but the Devilish Qi it ejected was instantly swallowed and purified by the colorful light torrent!

The Golden Phoenix phantom's left wing then lifted!

In its Phoenix eyes, burning with cold Nirvana fire, the flames suddenly blazed fiercely!

Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh—!!!
