55: Entrust it to your teacher
“This is... the pure true meaning of the primordial Phoenix?!”
“Someone is condensing a Phoenix Life Soul?”
“The direction is... the Bone-Eroding Fire Forest on the periphery? How is that possible!”
“Such a Bloodline, if it could be devoured, it would be worth ten thousand years of bitter cultivation!”
“Seize it! It must be seized!”
For a time, in the depths of the Demon Domain, some ancient existences that had been sleeping for who knows how many years, or were in seclusion, were awakened one after another by this aura.
Streaks of incomparably tyrannical Divine Thought tore through the sky like lightning, instantly locking onto the direction of the Bone-Eroding Fire Forest!
The next moment, the sky above the Bone-Eroding Fire Forest began to twist and change violently!
Boom!
The first figure tore through the Void Realm and descended!
It was a giant bird covered in dark blue ice crystals, burning with ghostly blue flames.
Its wings spread out, blotting out the sky and sun.
Its aura had reached the Nirvana Realm First Level!
It was a descendant of the “Profound Underworld Ice Phoenix”, though it carried the name of Phoenix, its Bloodline was no longer pure.
Sensing this pure Phoenix aura, it was the first one who couldn't sit still!
Immediately after—
Hum!
Space was pulled open like a curtain.
A middle-aged beautiful woman wearing gorgeous feather robes with an enchanting appearance stepped out.
Her eyes were as sharp as knives, and she was surrounded by five-colored rosy clouds.
Her aura was actually at the Nirvana Realm Second Level!
She was a powerhouse of the “Five-Colored Peacock” race!
Rumble!
The earth trembled.
A giant beast the size of a mountain, resembling a lizard with countless flame spikes on its back, trampled through the Void Realm and arrived.
It was of the “Molten Ancient Dragon” Bloodline.
Nirvana Realm First Level Peak!
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Several more figures emitting terrifying Demonic Qi appeared one after another.
There was a Thunder Hawk that commanded lightning.
There was a Nine-Headed Bird that controlled ghostly Soul fire...
The weakest among them was at the Peak of the Heavenly Soul Realm.
Among them, there were four existences at the Nirvana Realm!
These Yao Race powerhouses, who were rarely seen and dominated their own regions, were now gathered here because of the supreme aura emitted by Phoenix Spirit as she condensed her Phoenix Life Soul!
Their gazes, without exception, were fixed firmly on Phoenix Spirit, who was in the midst of her Breakthrough below.
They were filled with greed, fervor, and determination to obtain it!
That pure Phoenix Origin was a supreme treasure to them!
“Hahaha! Heaven helps me!”
“To actually encounter a Phoenix Life Soul about to take form in this place!”
“Devour her, and this King's Bloodline will surely undergo ancestral reversion!”
The beast that resembled a Molten Ancient Dragon let out a deafening roar, unable to hold back any longer.
A giant claw burning with dark red flames directly tore through space and reached towards Phoenix Spirit!
It wanted to interrupt her Breakthrough and directly plunder her Origin!
Seeing this, the other Yao Race powerhouses also attacked one after another, fearing they would be a step too late!
The Profound Underworld Ice Phoenix spat out ghostly blue ice flames that froze the Soul!
The Five-Colored Peacock unleashed five-colored divine light capable of knocking down Magic Treasure and annihilating the Divine Soul!
The Thunder Hawk summoned divine lightning from the Nine Heavens, turning it into a thunder prison that shrouded everything from above!
...
For a moment, all kinds of terrifying attacks from multiple Nirvana Realm and Peak Heavenly Soul Realm Yao Race powerhouses, like a cataclysmic torrent, surged simultaneously towards Phoenix Spirit, who was at a critical moment and had no ability to defend herself!
Just as Phoenix Spirit was about to perish under this terrifying concentrated fire, and the unformed Phoenix Life Soul was to be divided up along with her...
“Hmph.”
A cold snort, colder and more majestic than before, as if containing the wrath of heaven and earth, suddenly resounded in the deepest part of the Divine Soul of every Yao Race powerhouse who had attacked!
Hum!!!
A pressure indescribable in its vastness and terror, like the great explosion of the beginning of the Universe, erupted centered on Phoenix Spirit, sweeping across the world!
Under this pressure, the terrifying attacks that had come from the sky, capable of destroying cities and nations—whether it was ice flames, divine light, thunder, or giant claws—seemed as if a pause button had been pressed, all freezing in mid-air!
Immediately after, a figure in green robes stepped through space and appeared beside Phoenix Spirit.
It was none other than Lin Dao!
The aura flowing around him made all the descending Yao Race powerhouses, including the four Nirvana Realm existences, tremble in their Souls!
That was merely the cultivation level of the Nirvana Realm Fifth Level.
But the pressure they felt was as if they were facing a Peak Nirvana Realm, or even... a supreme existence that had touched the edge of the Samsara Realm!
It was an absolute gap in essence, in the level of life!
He stood there, and the surrounding Law bowed to him, with Chaos Qi appearing and disappearing.
It was as if he were the Dao itself!
“My Disciple is breaking through here, who dares to disturb?”
Lin Dao's gaze calmly swept over the stiff figures in the air.
His voice was not loud, but it was like a decree of the Heavenly Dao, carrying an unquestionable dominance and majesty, clearly entering the ears of every Yao Race powerhouse.
It shook their Divine Soul, causing their blood and Qi to surge!
All the Yao Race powerhouses, including the four at the Nirvana Realm, were shocked.
They hadn't even noticed this person's existence before!
And the aura he was emitting now was actually so terrifying!
Clearly, he was only at the Nirvana Realm Fifth Level, so why did he give them a sense of oppression as if facing a Yao Race Emperor?!
The Molten Ancient Dragon beast that had attacked the fastest bore the brunt of it, feeling as if its Yao Soul was about to freeze under this gaze!
Lin Dao ignored their shock.
He turned his head slightly and said to Phoenix Spirit, who was still condensing her Life Soul behind him but had a vague perception of everything happening around her, in a peaceful yet powerful voice:
“Ling'er, break through with peace of mind and condense your Phoenix Life Soul.”
“The rest...”
His gaze turned back to the patch of stiff Yao Race powerhouses in the air.
His eyes instantly became as cold as bone, like an eternal cold abyss.
“Leave it to your Master.”
...
The moment Lin Dao's words “Leave it to your Master” fell, the atmosphere above the Bone-Eroding Fire Forest froze to the extreme.
The Yao Race powerhouses who had been shocked by Lin Dao's terrifying aura recovered from their initial shock, replaced by the rage of being slighted and the frustration of their dignity as powerhouses being wounded!
Which of them was not an existence that dominated a region and founded a sect?
How could they be scared away by a single word from a Cultivator of the same rank?
“Arrogant! Even if your aura is strange, you are only at the Nirvana Realm Fifth Level! Do you think we, the four of us combined, are afraid of you!”
The beast resembling the Molten Ancient Dragon roared first. It had the most violent temperament. Having been intimidated by Lin Dao's gaze, it now felt it had lost face. Dark red flames surged from its body like a volcanic eruption, and its huge tail, carrying the power to shatter mountains, slammed towards Lin Dao!
At the same time, it opened its mouth and spat out a dark red pillar of fire condensed to the extreme, striking first to reach Lin Dao's face!
“Attack together! Kill this person first, then divide that Phoenix Bloodline!”
The beautiful woman of the Five-Colored Peacock race shrieked, a fierce look flashing in her eyes.
Five-colored divine light soared into the sky behind her, turning into five substantial light wheels, rotating and cutting. Wherever they passed, space was torn with pitch-black cracks, brushing towards Lin Dao from five tricky angles, not only to break his defense but to brush away his Divine Soul!
The Profound Underworld Ice Phoenix let out a clear yet cold cry, its wings flapped, and endless ghostly blue ice flames spread like a tide. Wherever it passed, even space was frozen, forming an absolute ice flame dead zone, intending to freeze and incinerate the Soul of Lin Dao along with Phoenix Spirit behind him!
The Thunder Hawk was even more direct, its wings summoning divine lightning from the Nine Heavens, turning into a giant thunder spear that spanned the heavens and earth, carrying the aura of judgment and destruction, crashing down!
