475: Small worlds merge, two venerables join forces

Flames burned on Black Phoenix Demon Lord’s body, and an extremely evil aura coiled around him—the Fiendish Fire-Bathed Demonic Phoenix.

His aura began to rise.

His divine body began to swell, instantly transforming from its originally slender form into something monstrously hideous.

His eyes gleamed with an evil light, as if ready to devour anyone.

Black Phoenix Demon Lord rarely revealed his signature move, because it was too inelegant.

Creatures like the Phoenix and Demonic Phoenix loved beautiful things and adhered to the path of elegance.

However, Black Phoenix Demon Lord’s talent lay in his physical body, and this signature move was extremely inelegant, so he rarely used it.

Now, he was truly pushed to his limit.

Lin Ye, however, was not surprised.

Having just brutally beaten Black Phoenix Demon Lord, he naturally understood the opponent’s physical strength.

After being strengthened, Black Phoenix’s every move contained endless power; her tearing Phoenix Claws, her wings that could sever all things, and her Phoenix Beak that could penetrate any defense, all posed extreme threats.

For a time, she actually suppressed Lin Ye.

Time began to flow.

The originally swift Black Phoenix was slowed, while Lin Ye’s speed was astonishing.

This was merely a simple application of time; some more advanced uses made Black Phoenix Demon Lord despair even more.

He unleashed his full power to pierce through Lin Ye’s Chaos Star God, only for it to be restored by Time Reversal.

“How many tricks does this kid have? What kind of Master would cultivate so many tricks, and each one so powerful?” Black Phoenix Demon Lord was exasperated.

Everyone knew that cultivating multiple techniques was powerful, but few managed to master them.

The time spent cultivating multiple techniques was enough to perfect one to its extreme.

Moreover, each path was vast and profound; let alone mastering it, even just getting a glimpse required a long time.

But today, he encountered a freak.

Lin Ye had too many tricks.

Under these multiple techniques, Lin Ye’s combat power was far beyond what existing ranks could describe.

Heavenly Fire Divine King grew more and more delighted the more he watched; this Lin Ye could actually withstand a fully unleashed Black Phoenix.

“Black Phoenix, I’ll join in too.”

Heavenly Fire Divine King transformed into a Flame Giant, his divine body reaching ten million meters.

Although not as large as Lin Ye’s, he was still considerably stronger than Black Phoenix Demon Lord.

He summoned rings of flame halos, scorching everything, even space, which he twisted.

The power of time acted upon him, clashing fiercely with the Law of Flame, and for a moment, it had no effect.

Those halos seemed to have the effect of isolating power, preventing Lin Ye from affecting Heavenly Fire Divine King.

“Unfortunately, this place is ultimately not quite suitable for me.”

Heavenly Fire Divine King looked up at the Thunder Pool Sky Territory above, and said regretfully.

“I can only make do for now.”

A scorching sun appeared.

Heavenly Fire Divine King’s Small World power erupted.

His Small World and Black Phoenix Demon Lord’s Small World seemed to have an extremely high degree of compatibility; they showed no repulsion whatsoever and gradually merged together.

“What? Small Worlds can even merge?” Lin Ye was suddenly shocked.

What’s going on?

Small Worlds can merge?

Let alone Small Worlds, even Divine Kingdoms require an extremely high degree of compatibility to merge.

At any rate, Lin Ye had never seen an example of Divine Kingdoms merging.

He had heard of it, though.

“Black Phoenix and I are sworn brothers.”

Heavenly Fire smiled.

Otherwise, how could two people from different factions be so inseparable?

The merged Small World’s power surged, actually dispelling Lin Ye’s Divine Kingdom projection.

The Small World began to suppress Lin Ye, weakening his strength.

With his Divine Kingdom unable to project outwards, Lin Ye’s Law application, power recovery, Divine Kingdom amplification, and other aspects were all affected, reducing his strength to less than three-tenths.

Meanwhile, the opponent’s strength surged due to the merged Small World.

Coupled with Heavenly Fire Divine King’s entry, the situation was reversed in an instant.

Flames soared to the sky, incinerating everything, and this commotion attracted the attention of the other Venerables.

The Battlefield of the Gods was not small, but it was not large either; at least for Venerables, especially the strong among them, perceiving major movements was not an issue.

Heavenly Fire Divine King had been somewhat hidden earlier, so they hadn’t noticed, but now that he personally entered the fray, everything was exposed before the Venerables’ eyes.

The Venerables’ Soul powers probed in.

“It’s actually Heavenly Fire and Black Phoenix, those two idlers.”

“Hmm, let me see what they’re doing? Oh my, they’re actually teaming up against that recently famous Blood Demon. What? Is this how they bully people?”

“It’s truly a disgrace to us Venerable-level beings, having to team up to deal with a junior.”

Heavenly Fire and Black Phoenix both had some fame among the Venerables.

They were very strong; their unique ability to merge Small Worlds was something that even the Venerables marvelled at, so they naturally remembered it clearly.

But what they were most famous for was their ‘loitering’ attribute; among Venerables, it was rare to see those who liked to wander around so much.

Generally, Venerables, after hitting a bottleneck, would also try to travel around to find opportunities for breakthroughs.

But most would give up after a period of time; after all, once accustomed to traveling, without the stimulation of novelty, the meaning of traveling would be lost.

But these two were true loiterers; they would run around everywhere for no reason, going wherever there was excitement.

Yet, their strength was quite good, and they never got into trouble from their wandering.

What did they see now? These two loiterers were actually teaming up to bully a Master.

In their case, it seemed not so surprising after all.

Heavenly Fire and Black Phoenix were very annoyed by the various Soul powers scanning them, but they wouldn’t go so far as to warn those Venerables because of it; after all, too many had come, and they didn’t dare offend them all.

“We’ve lost all face.”

“Heavenly Fire, it’s all your fault. Why did we have to merge Small Worlds? Wouldn’t it have been better to sneak away?”

Black Phoenix Demon Lord was starting to lose his composure.

Although this wasn’t the first time he had been ‘socially dead’ in the Venerable circle, it used to be due to his personality, and now it was because he was too weak.

“Since we’re here, we can’t just slink away, can we?” Heavenly Fire Divine King finished speaking, and his transformed Flame Giant moved.

A gigantic Flame Greatsword, half his height, condensed.

Heavenly Fire Divine King roared and slashed towards Lin Ye.

Lin Ye, however, was suppressed and unable to move.

At this moment, the trump card he still held could no longer be hidden.

The Fusion of Time and Space formed an Absolute Domain; within this space-time, Lin Ye became the absolute controller.

Heavenly Fire Divine King’s Small World power was also insufficient to counteract the Fusion technique, and his movements were slowed.

But Black Phoenix Demon Lord, behind him, let out a long cry, and the spatial restraints were actually disrupted.

Black Phoenix Venerable was also an expert in Space Control; at this moment, relying on his advantage, he forcefully seized control of space.

But since Lin Ye took action, he naturally considered Black Phoenix Demon Lord’s Space Control.

Black Hole Evolution also merged and joined in.

Immediately, Lin Ye became like an enormous Black Hole, devouring everything; the Black Hole’s powerful gravitational pull and Space-Time Control continuously devoured the surrounding flames.

Even when Heavenly Fire Divine King’s greatsword slashed down, it only left a sword mark on the Black Hole; Heavenly Fire Divine King wanted to retrieve the greatsword, but it was seized by a Dragon Claw.

That Dragon Claw was even larger than Heavenly Fire Divine King’s greatsword; when it gripped it, it was like an adult holding a child’s toy.
