544: Chapter 544 Phoenix, Instantly Kills the Saint Venerable

The moment he stepped into the domain gate, the world shifted.

Before his eyes was first a stretch of Chaos, then light exploded, and a giant city rushed toward him.

Heavenly City.

It spanned across the vast land, its walls towering into the clouds, constructed entirely of pitch-black star stones, with countless traces of time carved upon them.

The walls were mottled, with dark red bloodstains remaining in some places—marks left by countless generations of Prodigies countless years ago, which had yet to fade.

On the walls, formation patterns flowed, ancient and obscure, emitting palpitations that chilled the heart.

The city gates were wide open, with a ten-thousand-foot-tall stone statue standing on each side, holding long halberds, their faces blurred.

The buildings inside the city were arranged in a scattered yet orderly fashion; some were magnificent and resplendent, others ancient and weathered, with styles so varied it seemed as if civilizations from countless worlds had converged here.

In the distance, the tolling of a bell drifted over, though it was unclear which ancient tower was ringing. The sound was desolate and distant, like an echo from the previous era.

Outside the city was a vast, boundless wasteland.

The ground was a dull reddish-brown, and not a blade of grass grew on the wasteland, save for scattered giant boulders. These boulders were covered in sword and blade marks, evidently formed after the explosion of stars.

"Rumble!"

One figure after another descended from the sky.

Some stepped on auspicious clouds, some were draped in rosy light, and others simply stepped out from the Void Realm, their Aura sharp and fierce.

"Boom!"

Another loud bang, and a burst of fire exploded in the sky.

A peacock flapped its wings and arrived, its tail feathers like a screen, blooming with five-colored divine light that dyed half the sky in color.

Its Aura was terrifying to the extreme; every single feather was like a divine sword, spitting out sharp sword energy.

With a shake of its wings, two pitch-black cracks were torn into the Void Realm.

"That is... the Peacock Old Ancestor of the Great Wilderness World!"

Some living beings exclaimed, their voices trembling.

"A terrifying existence who has lived for endless years. It is said he has been suppressing his cultivation, just waiting for the Emperors Path to open!"

The Peacock Old Ancestor's target was none other than a Phoenix.

That Phoenix was golden all over, its feathers as translucent as glazed glass, each one flowing with brilliant divine light.

It did not dodge or evade, hovering in the Void Realm, coldly watching the Peacock Old Ancestor rush toward it, its eyes filled with contempt.

"Old thing! You are courting death!"

"Boom!"

The Peacock Old Ancestor's five-colored divine light swept down, causing the heavens and earth to lose their color.

The Phoenix flapped its wings, and golden flames covered the sky and earth, colliding with the five-colored divine light.

In an instant, blinding light erupted in the Void Realm, the aftermath sweeping across the wilderness, overturning the earth for ten thousand miles.

"That is the Phoenix from the Immortal Domain!"

Some living beings recognized the Phoenix's identity, their voices hurried.

"A generation's Prodigy, that is one of the strongest in the Immortal Domain's younger generation! In the grand competition, she entered the top sixteen... Now she seems even stronger than before!"

"Is the Peacock Old Ancestor trying to slay the Phoenix and refine its Bloodline?"

"What a bold move! Just entering the Emperors Path and already starting a massacre!"

More and more living beings were watching the battle.

True Dragons, Great Ferocious Beasts, Demonic Tigers, Demonic Hou, Nine-Headed Lions, Golden Lions...

Prodigies from various races arrived from all directions, hovering in the Void Realm, watching this great battle from afar.

No one intervened, no one spoke; everyone was waiting for a result.

The Peacock Old Ancestor was an old monster who had lived for a long time and had entered the Quasi-Emperor Realm. As his five-colored divine light swept down, the heavens and earth trembled.

But that Phoenix was also terrifyingly strong.

Its speed was fast to the extreme; every flap of its wings seemed to cross the boundaries of space, and the Peacock Old Ancestor's five-colored divine light could not lock onto it at all.

"Too weak."

"I have refined the ancestral essence blood and awakened a trace of the Primordial Phoenix Bloodline!!!!"

"How could you possibly be my opponent!"

The Phoenix spoke again, a female voice, cold and overbearing, carrying undisguised contempt.

"Living a long time does not necessarily mean it's useful."

As the words fell, its figure disappeared from where it stood.

"Boom!"

The next moment, golden light exploded across the sky, and a giant Phoenix claw reached out from the Void Realm, directly tearing through the Peacock Old Ancestor's protective Holy Light and piercing its chest.

"Squish!"

"Screech!"

Blood gushed out, and the Peacock Old Ancestor let out a shrill scream, its five-colored divine light instantly dimming.

The Phoenix folded its wings, and golden flames enveloped the Peacock Old Ancestor's body, burning it into a charred mass in an instant.

"No... how could this be... This old man is not reconciled!!!"

An ancient Peacock expert, a powerhouse who had lived for a long time, was torn to pieces just like that.

The entire scene was deathly silent.

"Who else wants to refine my Primordial Phoenix Bloodline?"

The Phoenix hovered in the Void Realm, coldly scanning the surroundings; wherever its gaze passed, no one dared to meet its eyes.

Just then, a figure stepped through the air from the distance.

It was not a light of escape, nor a divine rainbow; he was simply walking step by step.

Before the person arrived, his Qi and blood soared to the clouds.

All living beings looked over, all feeling shocked.

"This Aura... A Prodigy! A supreme Prodigy!"

"The person hasn't arrived! But his Qi and blood are already covering the sky! Could it be that guy?"

"In the Immortal Domain calamity, did he escape as well?"

They watched, whispering, as the figure came into view.

The leader, in white clothes and a white robe, black hair flying, had not a shred of Aura leaking from his body, yet it made everyone's heart shudder.

Qin Wushang.

"It really is him..."

Some living beings whispered, their voices carrying a complex and inexplicable meaning.

The Immortal Domain grand competition is approaching; he is the ruthless man who killed an Immortal King descendant, an existence even the guiding envoy had to warn about.

He had arrived.

The Phoenix's gaze also turned over.

Her golden pupils constricted slightly, staring at the figure approaching from afar, a look of wariness flashing in the depths of her eyes.

"He actually came here too!"

Although she did not face Qin Wushang in the grand competition, she knew of Qin Wushang's terror.

Qin Wushang did not look at her, or even anyone else.

His gaze was calm, his footsteps did not stop, he passed through the still-burning blood mist, taking a few women with him, and walked toward the Heavenly City without looking back.

"Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo... Human Race... In this generation, such a figure has actually appeared!"

"Kid! You really have the capital to be arrogant! I just don't know how much you are actually worth!"

Suddenly, a voice came from the distance.

It was a young man, but not a Human Race youth.

He had two horns on his head, his whole body wreathed in Holy Light, and faintly radiated a Dragon's might.

A True Dragon, a figure with prominent horns.

However, as soon as his words came out, Qin Wushang and his group didn't even have the intention to turn back.

"You actually dare to ignore this Saint!"

The youth roared, incomparably angry.

"Do you have an opinion?"

Suddenly, Qin Wushang paused, turned his head slightly, and glanced at him.

Supreme!

But he was not worthy of his attention!

"I am Long Ao of the Desolate Realm, it is rumored that the Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo is the Human Race's number one Physical Body, dare you compare Physical Bodies?"

"Hmph!"

A beam of pupil light flashed, shooting over instantly; by the time Long Ao saw it, he could no longer feel pain.

His head exploded!

He didn't even have the chance to scream, and the Soul in his Sea of Consciousness was extinguished along with it.

"Bang!"

His body fell to the ground; the Prodigies watching this scene all changed color.

One-hit kill!

A Supreme powerhouse, in front of this guy, was killed in one hit.

"Long Ao... he... he was the number one Prodigy of our Desolate Realm Dragon Clan, an existence capable of fighting a Quasi-Emperor! His Bloodline had already returned to the ancestors... and he... he just died like this!"

In the distance, a woman who also had two horns on her head said, trembling.

"Supreme Double Pupils!!!!"

"Which world did this supreme existence walk out of! And he even has the Supreme Double Pupils!"

Those who did not recognize Qin Wushang were all shocked beyond measure.

"Stupid! To actually dare to provoke this guy!"

"Thankfully he once entered the Immortal Domain... It looks like he is even stronger than before! He should have already entered the ranks of the Quasi-Emperor Realm!"

The Phoenix whispered, a wave of lingering fear.

And Qin Wushang had already stepped into the Heavenly City.

To him, these were all ants not worth mentioning, not worthy of being called opponents.
