Chapter 3340: Chapter 1261: Demon Phoenix
At the same time.
Inside the main hall of the Pill Saint Hall Master.
From within that enormous Pill Furnace came the sound of surging waves.
The chains on the Coiled Dragon Pillar that locked the Pill Furnace trembled furiously, faintly showing signs of snapping.
“It’s not going to hold!”
“The Earth Qi is out of balance, the Earth Dragon Pillar can’t lock down the Heaven and Earth Copper Furnace, the Holy Demon Essence Liquid is about to be ruined.”
“No, this pill is still in the Formation Stage, we absolutely cannot let all our efforts go to waste.”
“Hurry and send someone to inform the Alchemy Saint Lord, have her come preside over the situation!”
“We’ve already informed her, but the Side Hall’s doors are tightly shut, and there’s a powerful Array sealing the inside and outside, we can’t get in at all.”
“Damn it, you all quickly ignite your Qi Power, you must stabilize the Heaven and Earth Copper Furnace. If the Holy Demon Essence Liquid is destroyed by our hands, we will all be sinners of the Tianyuan Daoist Sect!”
…
The commotion next door did not affect the Pill Refinement process in the Side Hall in the slightest.
But Luo Chen, who was in charge of swallowing and exhaling the Vermilion Bird Divine Fire, was in an odd state at this moment.
He sat there cross-legged, his incomparably handsome face tightened to the extreme, even showing a ferocious expression.
And the Vermilion Bird Divine Fire he was spewing became increasingly violent and fierce.
Chu Yan saw this and grew anxious.
“Luo Chen, what’s wrong with you?”
Luo Chen did not speak.
But the blood-colored cloth robe on his body manifested on its own, and an extreme Consciousness was slowly spreading outward.
That Consciousness was so strong that even Chu Yan’s Refining Void Divine Thought, face-to-face, felt tremendous pressure.
As if she were facing a Great Venerable of the Integration Realm.
Is this the hidden strength of Luo Chen?
It is not his Immortal Dao Cultivation Level, but that terrifying Physical body bound beneath the blood-colored cloth robe!
At any other time, she would have been shocked, then appreciative.
But at this critical moment when the God Stabilizing Pill was about to emerge, she absolutely would not allow the pill to fail because of Luo Chen’s accident.
“Hah!”
The woman let out a crisp shout; an unstoppable surge of Qi Power burst forth, forcing Luo Chen’s body slightly back.
Then her eyes focused; above her head suddenly appeared a gigantic Dharma Image similar to her true body.
She released her Primordial Spirit Dharma Form.
And in that hair’s-breadth instant, she took over control of the Sun and Moon Bottle.
The Dan Dao Law was imposed upon the Sun and Moon Bottle, beginning to speed up the formation of the God Stabilizing Pill.
During this process, she no longer had any attention to spare for Luo Chen’s situation.
But in her ears she could faintly hear his low mutterings.
Like gentle whispers, yet also like teeth-gnashing hatred.
Vaguely, she only caught two words.
“Demon Phoenix!”
…
The white Jade Jar shrouded heaven and earth!
Black and white threads crisscrossed back and forth, cutting all things.
Yet outside that black and white, azure light and golden flames bombarded without pause.
The entire stretch of void quaked and roiled.
The Four Generals of Tianyuan remained outside, faces full of anxiety as they watched within.
They simply could not enter.
This white Jade Jar was not a common Magic Item, but a Spiritual Treasure long inherited by the Tianyuan Daoist Sect, named the Square and Round Jar.
Taking the meaning of heaven round, earth square.
The Chess Dao Rules swirling upon it formed their own laws; without reaching the Integration Realm, one could not enter at all.
They could not even clearly observe the battle within.
But from the cracks constantly fracturing across the Jade Jar’s surface, they knew the Venerable Tianyuan was not in an advantageous position.
In the end, that Yan Emperor had made his name long ago; he was a solid late-stage Integration existence. Across the entire Youxuan Continent, as long as those Mahayana Period old monsters did not make a move, few could contend with him.
Though the Venerable Tianyuan was a peerless prodigy, breaking through to late-stage Integration at a speed unimaginable to ordinary people, he still lacked some foundation compared to the Yan Emperor.
Especially since now it was two against one.
Even if he occupied every advantage of the terrain, what of it?
When a crack stretching a thousand zhang appeared upon the Jade Jar, everyone’s eyes went wide.
“Prepare to meet the enemy!”
The next instant.
Boom!
With a tremendous detonation, the Jade Jar shrouding heaven and earth suddenly exploded.
The terrifying shockwave pressed the entire Yao Mountain down into the depths of the earth.
A figure was blown out, black-and-white Daoist Robe flecked with drops of Blood flower.
It was precisely the Venerable Tianyuan!
The Yan Emperor followed close behind, holding a green Feather Fan, his gaze cold to the extreme.
“You cannot escape!”
“You ambushed Phoenix Girl, and killed the prodigies of my clan. Old and new hatred alike—today I must take your life and sever your Dao!”
As he spoke, a Windstorm swept up beside him. He stepped out once, crossing a hundred miles, Feather Fan closing, and the fan’s handle slammed fiercely onto the Venerable Tianyuan.
Chss!
Even though black-and-white threads wove into a great net, under this strike the Venerable Tianyuan still spit out blood.
His expression was incomparably terrified, no longer showing his former calm demeanor.
As he fled away from Yao Mountain, he continuously unleashed various methods.
Thunderbolts descended from the heavens, seeking to annihilate all; Demon Puppets awakened from the earth and charged toward the Yan Emperor to kill him; countless Sect Protection Killing Arrays flared to life at the movement of his thoughts.
The Yan Emperor paid no heed, merely waving his Feather Fan again and again, madly pursuing the Venerable Tianyuan.
When the two figures had fled far from Yao Mountain, with the void fluctuating, the figure of Qi Xia Emperor appeared once more.
Her Breath was slightly withered, her Golden Robe sprinkled with many Blood flowers.
Clearly, in the earlier battle within the Square and Round Jar, she too had been grievously wounded.
“Demon, surrender your life!”
A strand of Sword Qi surged to the sky, shooting straight toward the Golden-Robed woman.
“Nine Yang, retreat at once!” someone urged, but it was already too late.
Qi Xia Emperor did not even look at the Nine Yang Sword Lord; she merely let out a cold snort.
The next instant, it was as if the grand momentum of heaven and earth pressed down.
That Sword Qi vanished for no reason.
Then a wisp of golden Flames rose from within the Nine Yang Sword Lord’s body; under his terrified gaze, it began to coil around his Primordial Spirit.
The Nirvana Sacred Fire burns the Physical body and sears the Divine Soul!
Just as Qi Xia Emperor was about to go pursue and kill the Venerable Tianyuan, four figures closed in.
Looking at the four Holy Spirit illusions, Qi Xia Emperor’s gaze paused for an instant upon the Vermilion Bird Saint Spirit.
“You think you can stop this palace?”
Qi Xia Emperor gave a cold laugh, her gaze suddenly locking onto the Vermilion Bird Saint Spirit.
“If you all were at your Peak, perhaps you could delay this palace for a breath. But this Array already has a flaw.”
“And that flaw lies on you, Vermilion Bird!”
“You took part in that battle back then as well!”
As she spoke, she struck out with a palm; a Phoenix Illusion dove forth, heading straight for that Vermilion Bird Saint Spirit.
In an instant, the two Divine Beast illusions, Phoenix and Vermilion Bird, collided.
With just one clash, the Vermilion Bird turned into scattered sparks, dissipating within the void.
The Four Saints Spiritual Transformation Array was broken in the blink of an eye.
The Vermilion Bird spat blood and fell to the earth, her face full of unwillingness.
If she had not suffered heavy injuries in the Dark Demon Cave and failed to recover in time, how could she be unable to block even a single move from Qi Xia Emperor?
With the Big Formation broken, the other three were also bitten back; for the moment they could not stop Qi Xia Emperor at all.
Just as Qi Xia Emperor was about to shake the few off and go pursue and kill the Venerable Tianyuan—
Between heaven and earth, a furious roar suddenly rang out.
“Demon Phoenix!!!”
