As the phoenix made a full force move, the old bear quickly pulled back and stepped away. In his sight, there were flames all around, but he felt as if he was amidst a bamboo sea. Beside his ear, it seemed as if heavy snow was bending the bamboos and the sound of them breaking echoed continuously.
He knew that his perception was wrong and limited, but he could only interpret this sword using his own understanding. Little did he know that the broken bamboo was not the bamboo around the divine being, but all the spaces he could avoid. As soon as a sword was struck out, the space was cut, and the space fragments resembled snowflakes, along with the previous chain of space, fell heavily on the divine being's body.
This was just the moment when the sword came out of its sheath. In the next instant, the true light of Chakushou Swords pierced through the fiery clouds, falling from the sky.
The original space rupture could be likened to snow. As the Chakushou Sword sliced through the heavens, the space fragments were burning fiercely. Externally, this was manifested as a large amount of steam erupting from the divine being's body, and his ten-meter-tall stature visibly shrank by a circle.
The divine being with the appearance of a jellyfish, known as Zhu Man, roared continuously. Its figure was twisting and turning within a small range, but it could never free itself from the lock-on of this sword.
The Chakushou Sword had no unnecessary flourishes. A trace of brilliance flickered for an instant, and even an old warrior like the old bear, who had been fighting in battle for half a lifetime, didn't notice the hidden danger within.
The starlight scattered from thePurple Micro Star gathered with the starlight from the celestial sphere, forming a cluster of stars. Tens of thousands of beams of starlight converged into a single point, and then the tip of the Chakushou Sword pierced through this point, emerging from behind.
In the central position of the demigod's head, a blood hole appeared. This thing kept growling, and the phoenix could understand a little bit of what it meant. It seemed to be resisting death. Could this thing still have ways to counter the path of life and death?
The divine being with the appearance of a jellyfish did not immediately perish but instead spat out a substance resembling thick, viscous plasma from its mouth.
Seeing that one slash had not completely killed the quasi-demon god, the Phoenix drew back and retreated. She flipped her palm, and the quasi-demon god was trapped in a space about the size of a basketball court. The other party kept spitting out dark red plasma. One layer after another of space barriers were burnt through. The formless space was stained with gray spots of various sizes. The blurred image had begun to show some signs.
The Phoenix's attention was not entirely focused on this quasi-demon god; in her spare time, she cast a glance towards the Sun Star.
This glance indeed revealed the problem.
It seems that it has realized that its subordinates have fallen into a trap. The Decaying Demon God is preparing to use the dark chaos channel in front of him to forcibly enter the Hongwu World.
The phoenix traced a circle counterclockwise with her fingers, transforming the space from containment to absorption. She continuously absorbed and stored the quasi-demon god's plasma, accumulating it until it reached its peak, then sent it all at once towards the dark chaos channel of the Sun Star.
There is a difference between corruption and further corruption.
The Decaying Demon God is the corruption of all things, theoretically speaking, even time and space, all the laws of the Dao are within this decay.
The Decaying Demon God embodies the corruption of all things, including time, space, and all the laws of the Dao. In contrast, the quasi-demon god under its command is experiencing corruption of its fleshly body, with a large amount of plasma appearing out of nowhere. The situation was too sudden; all the plasma fell onto the true body of the Decaying Demon God. A full-force attack from the quasi-demon god is not easily intercepted. Worrying about there being even bigger traps, weighing the pros and cons, the usually cautious Decaying Demon God abandoned its plan to enter the Hongwu World.
To successfully escape, this giant demon god transferred all the plasma to one of its fingers. After that, it decidedly discarded this finger.
"A next time, I will definitely twist off your head!" A malevolent thought appeared out of thin air beside the phoenix's ear.
She coldly laughed, "Next time? Who knows who will die next time!"
The Decaying Demon God retreated, and the quasi-demon god became a disposable piece.
This thing's vitality is truly formidable. It relies on its own characteristics to resist many of the great laws of the Hongwu World. The phoenix had to stab it with three consecutive blades before connecting it to the path of life and death in the Hongwu World, truly teaching it what the word 'death' means.
The phoenix had the head of the quasi-demon god cut off and hung it on the door of the Chakushou Palace, showcasing her strength.
The entertainment continues, celebrating as usual
The Emperor of Heaven responds to those who have rendered meritorious service with mere "hm," never uttering words like "good," "very good," and the like.
Achieving merit? Achieving merit is right.
As an imminent Saint, what enemy can I not solve? This is your chance to establish merit. Once you've established your merit, I'll promote you. It's a gift of grace.
The Phoenix does not share the Emperor of Heaven's desire to charge for employment.
She is generous, rewarding those who have rendered merit on the Sun Star handsomely, doubling for the injured, and sending compensation to the families of those who died in battle.
She added a set of alchemical techniques to invert Chaos Beasts into Hongwu treasures in the exchange list. For just one point, anyone can redeem it.
The spiritual materials refined through this reversal technique are undoubtedly not as high in quality as the original Hongwu spiritual materials, but they are obtained for free! Freebooting can bring about a genuine joy from the bottom of one's heart. As cultivation becomes increasingly difficult, lower-level immortals have transitioned from a lavish approach to cultivation to a patch-and-mend stage.
Such a zero-cost transaction is something that almost no immortals can resist.
Find a Chaos Beast, kill it, and then throw it into the furnace to refine. How simple is that?
The incantation is simple, and the exchange process is easy as well. The only catch is that the furnace for refining Chaos Beasts must be specially made. The furnace contains a small magical array, which requires an extremely profound understanding of the five elements and yin-yang principles. It also incorporates part of the understanding of the yin-yang path by the ancestors of yin-yang.
The Phoenix doesn't prospect for gold, she sells jeans.
She has her Dragon Maiden sell this stuff exclusively. If you can't afford it, I'll provide loans here.
The slogan she came up with is "One-time purchase, lifetime benefit," "One pot for three generations," and "Loan after loan." In less than a month, not only did she recoup the expenses of the celebration, but she also made a small profit.
She took a portion of the income to compensate the Jade Tower True Man of the Sun Star. This time, it was indeed her fault, causing a great calamity to befall the Sun Star.
The heavenly soldiers and heavenly court officers under the jurisdiction of the Jade Tower True Man were nearly wiped out. She has made a call to the King Yama and other kings of hell, requesting to meet their requirements for rebirth as much as possible.
Of course, you can't be too overbearing. If you say that I have established great merits this time and want to be the supreme deity in my next life, that's absolutely impossible. However, if I am reborn as a heavenly person and then follow the path of heavenly soldiers and generals, there should be no problem.
Due to the constraints of his own cultivation method, the Jade Tower True Man was unable to leave the Sun Star and therefore sent the Yellow Dragon True Man and Yang Jian to express his gratitude, subtly showing a sign of submission.
Huanglong and Yang Jian have now become accustomed to the person constantly switching between the positions of Grand Master and Emperor. When you are in the Qilin Mountain, we call you Grand Master, when you are in the Heavenly Court, we call you Emperor, and when you are in the Ling Mountain, we call you Buddha. There is always a suitable title for you.
The Phoenix knew they were injured, but she didn't say much. She sent each one a gourd of immortality pills, including those that could detoxify the body, stabilize their foundation, and enhance their magical powers. Just take them and don't be shy!
