173: Divine Phoenix Nirvana

"Ahahaha! This Human Race female Cultivator is really stupid; she actually believed it!"

"How laughable. Such a person is truly too weak-hearted. To abandon all her companions for her own principles and choose to be a traitor."

As mocking voices came from the attractive mouths around them, one lizardman after another leaped down from the trees, completely surrounding the group.

The remaining six people were tightly encircled. The Junior Sister was still struggling ceaselessly before her death, seemingly trying to crawl towards the tent.

Meanwhile, her Dao Companion's head slowly lowered, then rolled to the ground with a thud. It was clearly a severed head.

The last glimmer of light in the Junior Sister's life gradually faded, and then, filled with deep despair and regret, she died in the cold jungle.

"Fool! Traitor! Next time we recruit new members, we absolutely cannot recruit Dao Companions!"

Su Yao angrily gritted her teeth, pulled out the handkerchief from her pocket, and slammed it onto the ground.

At this moment, the other lizardmen began to slowly approach, preparing to encircle them.

This encirclement could be said to be very formidable, as a large number of the Powerhouses within it were at least at the Celestial Realm.

And there were a hundred of them.

Leading them was a Quasi-Emperor Expert and three Heavenly Monarchs.

If Su Yao were at her peak, she could indeed lead everyone to break through the encirclement, but now she no longer had such confidence, and her face showed resolute indignation.

"I'll carve a bloody path; you all go first, I'll follow right after!"

Su Yao spoke softly, then slowly stepped forward. Flames instantly surged around her. The Divine Phoenix Exquisite Body at this moment was like a Phoenix reborn from fire, emitting endless radiance from her!

Then, accompanied by a sharp Phoenix cry, a figure swiftly charged towards the weakest point ahead. Su Yao directly gave her all in one strike, forcefully tearing open a huge gap, even scorching a large portion of the mountain range in front of her with the flames she spat out.

The five people behind her did not hesitate, quickly rushing towards the opening, while Su Yao swayed as she stood upright, barely swallowing a few Medicinal Pills to recover some spiritual power, her eyes fiercely glaring at the group of alien races surrounding them.

"The person I've wronged most in this life is probably Revered Master. I haven't lived up to Revered Master's expectations and have even sacrificed my own life here, but I will absolutely not bring shame to Revered Master. Even if I die, I will definitely drag you down with me!"

Su Yao's face showed an extremely cruel and ferocious smile, as she glared fiercely at the Quasi-Emperor Expert standing at the very front.

This person felt as if he had been targeted by some fierce beast, and goosebumps instantly appeared all over his body. That feeling was like a lion trapped in a desperate situation, ready to fight to the death with the mindset of taking its opponent down with it.

Ghost Three frowned deeply in the Void Realm. He had received orders not to act. Su Yao's current physique could not yet be considered complete. The Divine Phoenix Exquisite Body still needed a transformation to be fully activated.

Only then could the full potential of the Divine Phoenix Exquisite Body be completely unleashed!

Su Yao brandished her long whip, charging towards the enemy like a madwoman.

Less than 40% of her spiritual power remained, but she still managed to block a large number of pursuers with her own strength and the long whip in her hand.

Ultimately, all the lizardmen redirected their target towards her. Originally, these lizardmen's target was Su Yao; the other Cultivators were just incidental, and it didn't matter if they ran.

As long as they could keep this peerless Prodigy, the Human Race's Luck would diminish by a point.

Their goal was to eliminate all the top Powerhouses cultivated by the new generation of the Human Race. Once all the top Powerhouses were annihilated, there would be no one among the Human Race's next generation of elder Powerhouses who could contend with their alien Powerhouses.

By then, the alien races would launch a full-scale invasion of the Human Race!

Forty percent of her spiritual power, coupled with powerful Magic Treasures, allowed Su Yao to endure battle for a day and a night.

Su Yao, who was only at the Middle Stage of the Celestial Realm, eventually couldn't hold on any longer. She slowly knelt on the ground, her spiritual power completely depleted.

"Haha, can't you go on? Didn't you say you wanted to trade your life for mine? Come on, I'm right here, what can you do to me?"

The lizardman laughed loudly, then brandished his steel fork and slowly walked forward, intending to deliver the final blow to the young girl before him.

Su Yao tightly closed her eyes, remaining silent, biting her lips hard. She was waiting for her death to come; there was no way out of this situation.

All the life-saving items she had previously were almost used up during this period of battle. Revered Master had indeed given her many things, and she had also prepared a lot herself, but the number of battles was simply too great.

Now, apart from these Magic Treasures, she basically had no other trump cards.

The steel fork instantly pierced Su Yao's chest, and a large amount of red blood spurted out. The hot blood falling onto the steel fork actually produced wisps of white smoke.

As the steel fork was pulled out, Su Yao's life completely ended.

Her aura also began to gradually dissipate, and her eyes became unfocused and dim.

"Mission accomplished! Let's go back and claim our reward. Killing such a Human Race Prodigy will surely bring generous rewards!"

The lizardman brandished the steel fork in his hand, and the subordinates around him immediately burst into cheers.

But just as they turned to leave, they suddenly felt an intense burning sensation behind them. Turning back, they saw Su Yao, who had just been a corpse, slowly standing up.

Su Yao incredulously examined her hands and her chest, which was completely without a single wound. At this moment, her body was filled with immense power, and it seemed even more terrifying than before.

Even the storage capacity of her Dantian had more than doubled. Behind the flames surging around Su Yao, a Phoenix slowly stretched its body.

For the Divine Phoenix Exquisite Body to truly become powerful, one must fall into a desperate situation, without any help, and truly believe oneself to be dead to gain the Opportunity for Nirvana Rebirth.

Moreover, one can only undergo Nirvana once in a lifetime. Once Nirvana is achieved, all physical stats and indicators will increase by more than double.

In the past, many members of the Phoenix Race, upon learning about Nirvana, actively sought death. However, none of them successfully achieved Nirvana Rebirth. Only a Phoenix truly in a desperate situation, fighting until the last moment, has the chance to find this sliver of Opportunity.

This is also when the Divine Phoenix Exquisite Body completely undergoes Awakening!

Previously, Su Yao might have controlled 99% of the Divine Phoenix Exquisite Body; the last one percent was now.

"Boom!"

A terrifying aura emanated from Su Yao. Her Realm actually leaped an entire major Realm at this moment, breaking through from Celestial to Immortal Platform!

The group of lizardmen felt their scalps tingle, retreating continuously, frantically moving their legs to escape, but it was all in vain. The terrifying heat wave instantly engulfed them!
