203: Chapter 203 Blood Sea Demon Lord!

"What is the cultivation of your true body?"

"Hmm... Mahayana Stage Early Stage..."

Phoenix Nine Heavens spoke slowly.

Her original Mahayana Stage Late Stage cultivation had been mostly eroded during the process of resisting two strange types of Qi, leaving her with only Mahayana Stage Early Stage strength.

Even after spending a long time undergoing Nirvana through fire, she could not clear away the strange Qi; instead, it grew increasingly intense. With no other choice, she could only abandon her true body and escape.

"Tsk, not bad."

Su Mo curled his lips and said nonchalantly.

Phoenix Nine Heavens was so angered by his attitude that her Phoenix eyes blazed with fire:

"junior! We must leave here quickly; absolutely no one can resist that thing!"

"Heh, don't make sarcastic remarks about something you created yourself when you can't even handle it."

With a thought from Su Mo, Phoenix Nine Heavens found herself uncontrollably leaving.

Su Mo turned and entered the Body Tempering pool behind him. This was the essence he had concocted using all his Body Tempering Spirit Medicine; all the Body Tempering Spirit Medicine from the treasuries of the Beast Taming Sect, Qingqiu Fox Clan, and Golden Tiger Clan were inside.

Before Phoenix Nine Heavens' true body emerged, Su Mo needed to raise his cultivation as much as possible.

Because he already felt that after the Great Nirvana Buddha's will awakened, the first thing it would look for was him.

The " 卍" Buddhist seal on the ant's head was emitting faint fluctuations, which hadn't been there before.

"Mahayana Stage... Heh..."

Su Mo curled his lips and submerged his entire body into the Body Tempering liquid.

Meanwhile, in the outside world, not far from the Golden Tiger Clan, large swathes of the insect race were undergoing Lightning Tribulation. Those who survived the Lightning Tribulation began to Cultivate the Six Desires Cultivation Technique and comprehend the Law.

Even though the insect race's cultivation was low and comprehension was extremely difficult, as long as each insect could comprehend a faint trace, given their massive population, it would aggregate into a vast accumulation within Su Mo's body.

...

In the blink of an eye, five days passed.

Not far from the Body Tempering pool, Phoenix Nine Heavens was resting her eyes and recovering her cultivation.

Su Mo had restricted her range of movement; no matter where she ran, she would uncontrollably return on her own. After trying two or three times, she gave up the idea of escaping and began to focus on recovering her cultivation.

In front of that thing, every point of strength she recovered meant one more chance of survival.

Suddenly, Phoenix Nine Heavens stood up, looked in the direction she had come from, and her pupils contracted to the extreme.

"It's here..."

A beam of black and white light shot into the sky, dyeing the distant sky in two strange colors.

Screech!!

Two Phoenix cries rang out simultaneously, echoing through heaven and earth.

"What is that?!"

Fierce Tiger King arrived outside the Body Tempering pool, looking into the distance with a grave expression. He felt that the owner of that aura had terrifying strength; its mere pressure made his heart palpitate.

A few days had passed, and Fierce Tiger King's cultivation had actually risen from Soul Transformation Early Stage to Soul Transformation Middle Stage, and he had added a bit of the aura of a clan leader.

"That is... the Phoenix Ancestor!"

The Grand Elder beside Fierce Tiger King looked extremely excited.

"Phoenix Ancestor?"

Fierce Tiger King looked puzzled. He had left the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range since he was young and had never heard of this title.

The Grand Elder said excitedly:

"The Phoenix Ancestor is the sole co-ruler of all clans in the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range, the existence that forced the Human Race Cultivator to withdraw from the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range!"

Listening to the Grand Elder's extremely worshipful praise, Phoenix Nine Heavens' mouth couldn't help but twitch slightly.

"You guys should leave the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range quickly."

"Why?"

Hearing Phoenix Nine Heavens' words, the two finally realized that there was another person standing beside them.

"Because... that thing is not the Phoenix Ancestor..."

Before she could finish speaking, the Grand Elder retorted:

"Stop talking nonsense! How could you, a Human Race Cultivator, know the majesty of the Phoenix Ancestor! If you dare to spout nonsense again, even if you are a person beside Su Mo, I will not show any mercy!"

Hearing this, Phoenix Nine Heavens was not angry; instead, she smiled helplessly:

"That thing is not the Phoenix Ancestor, because... I am!"

Screech!

A cry even louder than the previous Phoenix cry left everyone stunned in place.

Nirvana Divine Fire ignited around Phoenix Nine Heavens, a flame rune flashed between her brows, and a massive Phoenix phantom that covered the sky unfolded behind her.

That majestic and sacred aura was even purer than the black and white light beam in the distance.

"Phoenix... Phoenix Ancestor..."

The Grand Elder couldn't believe it, muttering to himself.

In his childhood, he had seen the Phoenix Ancestor once; ever since then, that figure and aura had been deeply imprinted in his Divine Soul, and he would never recognize it wrongly.

"Welcome, Phoenix Ancestor! But how did you..."

Phoenix Nine Heavens sighed deeply:

"It's a long story; my true body has been subjected to Possession. You had better leave here as soon as possible..."

Just at this moment, the black and white light beam slowly dissipated, and was replaced by an even more terrifying pressure descending.

Seeing this, Fierce Tiger King didn't have time to think and hurriedly rushed towards the Body Tempering pool, intending to pull Su Mo out and leave the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range.

But he only saw Su Mo's figure appear before his eyes, smiling slightly:

"You guys stay further away, I'm about to start operating!"

As soon as his voice fell, the " 卍" Buddhist seal on the forehead of the ant beside Su Mo suddenly became blinding.

At the same time, a black and white Escape Light attacked from afar, obviously heading towards Su Mo.

Su Mo decisively self-destructed and swapped positions with an insect race member ten thousand miles away.

"Benefactor... long time no see, how have you been lately?"

In an instant, a familiar voice sounded in Su Mo's ear.

Su Mo looked up.

What came into view was a Phoenix with a huge body, its wings covering the sky, but it did not have a trace of a sacred appearance.

This Phoenix actually had two heads!

One head looked dignified, with buddhist light flowing between its brows.

The other head was full of Devilish Qi, its pupils full of hideousness.

But what was the same was that it could not be looked at directly!

As long as one saw the appearance of either head, a kind of will would appear in one's mind, constantly eroding everything.

"Bald Donkey! Your hypocritical appearance makes this Venerable truly disgusted!"

Before Su Mo could speak, the other demonic head sneered.

The Qi on both of them was constantly entangled, contending with each other, yet neither could do anything to the other.

Su Mo raised an eyebrow and asked the demonic head:

"Who are you?"

The demonic head didn't need to think to know that he was the other culprit who caused the Immortal Burial Battlefield and had intricate connections with the Blood Prison Sacred Land, but Su Mo did not know his identity.

Hearing this, the demonic head turned to look at Su Mo, his tone arrogant but one could hear the goodwill hidden within it:

"Little friend, this Venerable is the Blood Sea Demon Venerable!"

"Eh! Why does the aura on your body feel like I've seen it somewhere before?"

He pondered for a moment, and a flash of light appeared in his eyes:

"Oh, this Venerable remembers now, it was you who took away the Blood Prison Demon Bow, right."

"Forget it, taken is taken, it's just a mere Immortal Artifact... However..."

"Since you, little friend, have taken this Venerable's thing, you must do one thing for this Venerable: in the future, when you encounter this Bald Donkey's Incarnation, slaughter it directly!"

The Buddhist head was suddenly furious:

"Devil Head, how dare you!"

Two terrifying auras collided again.

"Benefactor, if you convert to my Buddha, later, this Venerable will help you Ascend again!"

The Great Nirvana Buddha had completely regarded Su Mo as a Reincarnation. After all, one who could contend against the power of the Law could not possibly be an ordinary Lower Realm Cultivator.
