219: Chapter 219 This deal was a great bargain, wasn't it?

Boom!

Battle erupted suddenly, in an instant!

The massive, sky-obscuring body of the Fallen Blood Phoenix, like a burning Primordial Divine Mountain, crashed over!

Towering blood flames scorched the Void Realm into distortion, emitting cries of unbearable pain.

It flapped its wings.

Its two giant claws, sharp enough to tear apart stars, transformed into two Immortal King Treasure Artifacts, grabbing down at Su Xuanchen with a terrifying might capable of annihilating all creation!

Where the claw tips passed, the Void Realm was easily torn open like fragile paper, and billions of ancient and profound Dao runes appeared and vanished at the claw tips, evolving into various terrifying phenomena.

However.

Facing this world-destroying strike, Su Xuanchen didn't even lift an eyelid.

He simply, casually waved his hand.

Zheng!

A clear, resonant sword cry echoed through heaven and earth!

The daluo immortal sword appeared out of nowhere.

A seemingly ordinary, yet in reality containing terrifying sword light capable of severing star rivers, suddenly flared!

That sword light was overwhelming!

The moment it appeared, it split the towering blood flames, capable of boiling seas and burning mountains, into two!

The next moment.

Sword tip and sharp claw fiercely collided!

"Clang—!!!"

A deafening clang of metal rang out, exploding with a roar!

Terrifying energy shockwaves, like a world-ending tsunami, swept madly in all directions!

Ji Luanxi and Chang Xiyue's pretty faces turned pale. They desperately circulated the Divine Power within their bodies, but were still forced back repeatedly by the violent shockwaves, their Qi and blood churning.

In just a few breaths.

In the domineering Fallen Blood Phoenix's fierce eyes, an emotion called "dread" appeared for the first time.

It felt an irresistible, terrifying force erupting from that tiny sword tip!

That power was utterly tyrannical!

As if to completely crush its Divine Soul!

"Crack!"

A crisp sound.

A fine crack, without any warning, appeared on its sharp claw, which was comparable to an Immortal King Treasure Artifact!

Immediately after.

"Bang—!"

The Fallen Blood Phoenix's massive body, as if struck by a Primordial Divine Mountain, was fiercely sent flying by that terrifying sword force!

"Pfft!"

Golden Phoenix blood spewed from the broken claw tip, scattering into the Void Realm.

Every drop contained majestic vital essence, and when it fell onto the ground below, it instantly melted through hard rock, forming terrifying, bottomless pits.

Wisps of strange black mist emanated from the pits, exuding a chilling, fallen aura.

The Fallen Blood Phoenix tumbled several times in the air before barely stabilizing itself.

Its massive body crashed heavily to the ground, kicking up a sky full of dust.

It struggled to its feet, staring intently at the figure standing with hands behind his back, white robes whiter than snow. Its eyes, burning with towering rage, now only held endless fear and apprehension.

It had never imagined.

That it, a Quasi-Immortal King level existence, invincible below the Immortal King realm, would be severely wounded by a single strike from this seemingly ordinary man!

"Immortal King!"

"This person is definitely an Immortal King!"

A terrifying thought exploded in its mind!

Only a true Immortal King could possess such terrifying strength!

It knew that today, it had kicked an iron plate.

"Caw—!"

The Fallen Blood Phoenix let out an unwilling shriek.

Its towering crimson blood flames, at this moment, unexpectedly transformed into an eerie, inky black!

That black flame seemed to devour all light, emitting a chilling, terrifying aura.

Its massive body was completely enveloped by the black flame, its aura instantly receding, becoming profound and strange.

Immediately after.

Its sky-obscuring wings slowly folded, actually forming a giant black sphere.

The next moment.

Boom—!!!

The sphere exploded with a roar!

An indescribably terrifying energy wave swept in all directions!

When the dust settled.

The massive Fallen Blood Phoenix had vanished.

In its place was a peerlessly beautiful figure of extraordinary grace.

She wore a blood-red gown as enchanting as fresh blood, her bare feet treading the air, her body surrounded by faint black flames.

Those sky-obscuring wings still slowly flapped behind her, exuding a suffocating pressure.

Her exquisitely beautiful face, capable of dimming the heavens and earth, was utterly cold and aloof. Between her brows lay an innate aura of a superior, as if all things in the world were mere ants in her eyes.

"Hiss!"

Even women like Ji Luanxi and Chang Xiyue, who were accustomed to seeing peerless beauties, couldn't help but gasp, their eyes filled with admiration.

Su Xuanchen's eyes also lit up.

He looked at the cold and proud figure, a playful arc forming at the corner of his mouth.

He took a step, instantly appearing before the woman, a harmless smile on his face.

"Lady, why such a temper?"

Su Xuanchen's voice was gentle, yet held a hint of teasing.

"I did break the Restriction and helped you escape, so I can be considered your benefactor, right?"

"Treating your benefactor like this isn't very nice, you know."

Upon hearing this, the woman's willow-like brows instantly furrowed, and a hint of undisguised disgust flashed in her cold eyes.

She scrutinized Su Xuanchen from head to toe, a mocking arc forming at the corner of her mouth.

"A dignified Immortal King, yet your words are so frivolous."

Her voice was cold, devoid of any emotion.

"This sovereign knows your purpose in coming here."

"If this sovereign hadn't deliberately released my aura to lure the Nine Phoenix Sacred Body here, how would you have appeared in this place?"

"However, this sovereign didn't expect an Immortal King to be accompanying her."

She had already seen through everything.

Su Xuanchen, upon hearing this, was not angered.

The smile on his face grew even wider.

"Since the lady is a sensible person, this sovereign won't beat around the bush."

He spread his hands, saying with a matter-of-fact expression.

"This sovereign helped you escape. You only need to hand over a few drops of your True Blood and imprint your Innate Divine Ability as repayment."

"This deal, isn't it a bargain?"

The woman was stunned for a moment upon hearing this.

Then, she smiled.

A breathtaking smile bloomed on her exquisite face, beautiful enough to suffocate, yet carrying a bone-chilling killing intent capable of freezing one's Divine Soul.

"Hahahaha!"

She laughed up to the sky, her voice shaking the nine heavens.

"True Blood?"

"Innate Divine Ability?"

She looked at Su Xuanchen, her beautiful eyes filled with undisguised madness and resolve.

"Do you know that giving up my True Blood will damage my Origin and cause my cultivation to regress?"

"Do you know that Innate Divine Ability is a taboo of our Phoenix race, never to be revealed, even unto death?"

"Immortal King?"

She stared intently at Su Xuanchen, her voice icy cold and piercing, enunciating each word.

"Even if I die in battle here today, completely annihilated by you."

"This sovereign will absolutely not let you have your wish!"
