217: Chapter 217 Fallen Blood Phoenix

The True Phoenix, an Incarnation of crimson flames, suddenly rioted!

Firelight soared into the sky!

That tiny cluster of flames instantly transformed into a majestic True Phoenix radiating Divine Might!

It spread its wings, which blotted out the sun, each feather burning with a terrifying divine flame capable of incinerating eternity.

A pair of majestic Phoenix eyes suddenly snapped open, shooting out two beams of physical firelight that pierced through the Void Realm.

"Luan—!"

A clear, high-pitched cry, powerful enough to shatter the Divine Soul, resounded through heaven and earth!

A visible ripple of fire surged outward in its wake.

"Pfft!"

Chang Xiyue, who was standing closest, saw her pretty face instantly turn pale.

She felt as if her Divine Soul had been ruthlessly pierced by a red-hot steel needle; under the intense pain, her vision went black, and she nearly fainted on the spot.

Su Xuanchen let out a muffled groan.

Although he had protected his Divine Soul with the Nine Tribulations Secret Codex, what had descended here was, after all, only a wisp of his Divine Sense.

Facing this wrathful strike from a True Spirit nearly at the Quasi-Immortal King realm, his Divine Sense also vibrated violently, as if it might dissipate at any moment.

Having succeeded with its first strike, the True Phoenix violently flapped its wings.

A boundless sea of fire kicked up waves ten thousand feet high!

The terrifying divine flame, capable of incinerating a True Immortal, transformed into a world-ending tsunami and crashed down toward the three of them!

"Go!"

Su Xuanchen made a prompt decision.

He took a step forward, his figure instantly appearing beside Chang Xiyue, and grabbed her slender, willow-like waist.

A flash of golden light erupted.

Enveloping the two women, his figure instantly vanished from the spot, retreating from that terrifying world of fire.

"Huff... huff..."

Outside, Chang Xiyue leaned into Su Xuanchen's embrace, gasping for breath, her cold and beautiful face filled with the shock of a narrow escape.

"Husband, what... what exactly was 그 thing?"

Her voice was trembling slightly.

"It had an aura nearly at the Quasi-Immortal King realm; it's too terrifying!"

"I feel like it's several times stronger than an ordinary Phoenix True Spirit, almost as if it has mutated!"

In Su Xuanchen's eyes, however, a towering Battle Intent and fervor ignited.

He looked at the branches of the wutong sacred tree where the firelight soared, the corners of his mouth curling into a playful arc.

"Yue'er, you guessed wrong."

He shook his head, his voice calm yet carrying an unquestionable confidence.

"That is not a real True Spirit Phoenix."

Su Xuanchen paused, revealing a shocking secret.

"That is a Fallen Blood Phoenix from the Dark Great Realm, suppressed here for some unknown reason."

In its Origin, it contains a trace of immortal dark matter, which is why its power far exceeds those of the same rank."

"However..."

He changed the subject, his gaze falling on Ji Luanxi, who was equally shocked, a flash of brilliance crossing his eyes.

"For your Nine Phoenix Sacred Body, Luanxi, this is a massive Opportunity!"

Ji Luanxi's delicate body trembled.

She was exceptionally clever and instantly understood the deep meaning behind her husband's words!

A Fallen Blood Phoenix!

That was also a supreme Bloodline of the Phoenix clan!

If she could refine its Origin, her Nine Phoenix Sacred Body would surely undergo an earth-shattering transformation!

She might even Breakthrough her shackles in one go and advance into the legendary... Immortal Phoenix Physique!

At that time, her strength would skyrocket, and she would no longer need to rely solely on Su Xuanchen, becoming a mere 'vase' by his side who could only cheer from the sidelines!

Once this thought emerged, it was like a prairie fire that could no longer be contained.

Ji Luanxi's breathing instantly became hurried.

In her eyes, clear as water, a flame called 'desire' ignited.

The next moment.

She made a move that left even Chang Xiyue dumbfounded.

"Husband~"

Ji Luanxi's voice instantly became incredibly soft and sweet, carrying a perfect touch of acting spoiled and aggrieved.

She took light steps, proactively pressing close to Su Xuanchen, her soft and voluptuous body almost entirely hanging off of him.

A pair of jade-like arms, soft as if they had no bones, tightly encircled Su Xuanchen's arm, gently shaking it.

"My strength isn't enough..."

She raised her beautiful face, which was enough to drive any man wild, and looked at Su Xuanchen pitifully with her watery eyes.

"The Restriction on that wutong sacred tree is too strong; I can't break it at all."

"Husband, help me, okay?"

That soul-stirringly seductive appearance and that cloyingly sweet voice.

Even though Su Xuanchen was long battle-hardened, his heart couldn't help but sway at this moment.

He knew this little vixen was acting, but he happened to fall for this exact tactic.

"Alright, alright, alright."

Su Xuanchen nodded repeatedly, fearing that if she kept shaking him, he would lose his composure on the spot.

"I will take action."

Beside them, Chang Xiyue looked at Ji Luanxi's smug expression at having gotten her way, then at her husband's 'enjoying' face, and couldn't help but burst out laughing with a 'pfft'.

That crisp laughter was as pleasant as a silver bell.

However.

The next moment.

Her laughter stopped abruptly.

Smack!

A crisp sound rang out unexpectedly.

Chang Xiyue froze entirely.

On her cold and beautiful face, two charming blushes instantly appeared, and the mirth in her eyes was replaced by endless shame, anger, and bewilderment.

He... he actually dared to...

A strange tingling sensation, accompanied by a burning heat, spread like lightning from the place that had been slapped through her entire body.

Her heart began to pound uncontrollably.

「This... what is this feeling?」

Chang Xiyue was humiliated and furious, yet her heart uncontrollably gave birth to a wonderful feeling she had never experienced before.

Seeing this, Ji Luanxi playfully stuck out her tongue, her eyes filled with triumphant light.

She knew that the Opportunity of the Fallen Blood Phoenix was secured!

With her husband's strength, taking this thing down would be as easy as turning over his hand!

Su Xuanchen gave a light cough to hide his embarrassment.

He let go of the two women and stepped toward that branch of the wutong sacred tree, which was as massive as a mountain range.

Even if it was just a section of a branch, having endured ten thousand years, it remained immortal and indestructible.

On the trunk, luster flowed and divine light flickered, emitting an ancient and weathered aura.

Su Xuanchen pondered for a moment, then raised his hand, pressing his fingers together like a sword.

Ssh!

A sharp Sword Qi shot out from his fingertips, ruthlessly slashing against that black iron-like trunk.

However.

The Sword Qi, which could easily slay a Saint, only left an insignificant, tiny mark on the trunk.

What was even more shocking.

That mark was actually healing at a speed visible to the naked eye!

"Hmm?"

For the first time, a look of surprise appeared on Su Xuanchen's face.

He became increasingly curious about just how terrifying this wutong sacred tree had been in its prime.

"Interesting."

The corners of his mouth curled into a playful arc.

The next moment.

He flipped his wrist.

Clang!

A crisp sword hum resounded through heaven and earth!

The daluo immortal sword was in his hand!

As soon as the Immortal Sword appeared, the Void Realm vibrated!

A terrifying Sword Qi, capable of tearing through eternity, erupted from the translucent blade!

Su Xuanchen held the sword with both hands.

He looked at the indestructible branch of the sacred tree before him, and in his deep eyes, a towering Battle Intent ignited.

Filled with confidence, he raised the Immortal Sword high in his hand.

Then.

He ruthlessly slashed down at the wutong sacred tree!
