The Final Battle (1)

Nine Phoenix Imperial City.

The Wutong Tree tall and reaches into the Yunxiao, its dense branches swaying and undulating amidst the fiery clouds.

The swirling clouds transformed into magnificent Nine-Phoenix, their Phoenix Cries echoing through the heavens.

Suddenly, a storm brewed.

A Spiritual Qi Torrent, like a vast ocean, swept in from all directions, forming an enormous, fiery red vortex.

Strands of Phoenix True Fire boiled in the vortex, eventually condensing into dense flame Spirit Mark.

These flame Spirit Mark, arranged in some mysterious and unpredictable pattern, suddenly burst open the space, shattered the barrier of heaven and earth, and disappeared into the Unseen.

After a cup of tea.

A deafening, resounding Phoenix Cry echoed from the Spatial Passage.

Immediately afterwards, a Nine-Headed Divine Phoenix spread its wings and glided out from it.

Each exquisitely crafted feather was covered with mysterious and unpredictable flame runes.

If one's cultivation level is insufficient, directly looking at these runes may cause them to spontaneously combust and turn to ashes.

At this very moment, on the altar directly in front of the Nine Phoenix Imperial City, the Nine Phoenix Emperor, Prince Wu Feng, and other powerful members of the Nine-Phoenix Clan respectfully bowed to the Nine-Headed Divine Phoenix, their eyes flashing with fervor and reverence.

"Greetings, Old Ancestor!!"

Deep within the void of the Nine Phoenix Realm, countless spatial turbulences raged, creating all sorts of spatial disasters.

Spatial Storms, Void fires, void blades... any kind of spatial calamity would result in a 90% chance of an ordinary cultivator at the Manifestation Sage Manifestation perishing on the spot if they encountered just one of them.

However, right now, dozens of spatial disasters are actually distributed in this dark void, making it arguably the most perilous place in the Middle Thousand Realms.

However, right in the very center of this desolate place, there stands a magnificent Palace shrouded in colorful gauze, unmoving and majestic, like a reef in Ocean Storm.

"Cracking!!"

The Phoenix Cry echoed endlessly, following the omnipresent Spiritual Qi in the void.

A long, slender phoenix claw, wreathed in Phoenix True Fire, reached down from above.

Wherever the phoenix claw passed, various spatial disasters were annihilated into Void by the terrifying dark red flames, and the void twisted, revealing clearly visible folds.

Tear!!

The phoenix claws sliced through like Heavenly Swords, cleaving the magnificent, indestructible Palace in two.

Several screams followed, the sound of Devil Cultivators dying miserably under the claw of the First-Generation Imperial Lord.

Chant!!

The Sword Cry was like Dragon Roar, long and drawn out, yet carrying a sharp and compelling sense of its power.

Faster than the sound came a barely perceptible, jet-black sword mark.

The sword mark was like a black line dividing heaven and earth, containing Sword Qi compressed to its extreme.

This sword strike is comparable to the full-force attack of a Mid-Stage Void Refinement cultivator. Even in the Nine Phoenix Realm, only a handful of people could withstand it.

However, for the First-Generation Imperial Lord of the Nine-Phoenix Clan, whose clone projected down to the mortal realm, an attack that didn't even touch the Power of Principle was like a house built of sand—it looked magnificent and grand, but in reality, it would collapse with a single push.

A hint of disdain flashed in all eighteen fiery phoenix eyes.

Immediately afterwards, streaks of rainbow light burst forth, and crimson flames filled the sky.

In an instant, the Sword-Ray was shattered.

The remaining rainbow light, undiminished in its momentum, enveloped a vast expanse of dark void like a falling star.

Boom!!

Flames erupted, fueled by the omnipresent Spiritual Qi of the void, transforming an area spanning tens of thousands of miles into a Purgatory inferno.

The First-Generation Imperial Lord spread his wings and roamed freely in the sea of fire.

Every now and then, it would extend its sharp claws and kill a Devil Cultivator with ease and grace.

In the Nine Phoenix Imperial City, the Nine Phoenix Emperor and other powerful figures, who were observing the battle situation with special Law Treasure, all revealed a proud smile.

These are their Old Ancestors, living Immortals and Gods.

Even if his clone descends to the mortal realm and his strength is reduced to a fraction of its former value, it would still be enough to annihilate these troublesome Devil Cultivators who have been causing the Nine Phoenix Realm so much headache.

Behind the powerful Nine-Phoenix Clan members, the Giant Spirit Sage, the Fire-Bathing Tribe Chief, and other racial leaders all wore expressions of appropriate awe.

Even the Eastern King Sect's Daoist Taiyi, who also possessed Immortal Old Ancestor, was no exception.

These powerful individuals weren't faking it; they were genuinely showing their respect and reverence for their seniors.

However, this awe did not last long before it was replaced by an undisguised astonishment.

Following their gaze, they saw a ten-thousand-foot-tall demonic figure suddenly rise from the Purgatory sea of fire. Dark voids emerged from behind the demonic figure, and a massive amount of Devil Qi emanated from it, like the Xuanming Water, extinguishing part of the sea of fire.

The next moment, an Escape Light flew away, breaking through the seal of the Purgatory sea of fire in an instant, and disappearing into the deeper part of the void.

"Cracking!!"

A phoenix's Phoenix Cry, filled with rage and almost shame, echoed through the dark void.

For the First-Generation Imperial Lord, failing to capture all of these little devils despite personally taking action was clearly a loss of face.

So without saying a word, he flapped his wings and traversed tens of thousands of miles of space, chasing after the black Escape Light, leaving behind the Nine Phoenix Emperor and other powerful figures in front of the light screen, their expressions changing.

One day later.

In the main hall of the imperial city, the powerful figures of the Nine Phoenix Realm sat in their respective positions, their gazes all focused on the Nine Phoenix Emperor.

The latter, his expression calm yet tinged with agitation, said, "Our Old Ancestor pursued the Devil Cultivators of the Lu Wu Realm into the deepest part of the void, but due to the pull of the Immortal Realm Laws, he had to return."

However, after this battle, the Devil Cultivators are no longer a threat.

Several powerful figures Demon Dao Void Refinement Realm, including the Heavenly Corpse Old Ancestor and the Six Desires Demoness, perished.

The Celestial Person Sword Immortal was also burned to ashes by the Old Ancestor 'Phoenix True Fire, leaving only a wisp of his soul.

The Red Dust Demon Venerable was severely injured, his strength plummeting to the level of Sage Manifestation. If it weren't for his unknown treasure, he would have been annihilated by the spatial disaster long ago.

Even if he were to emerge and cause trouble again, that would be decades or even centuries from now.

During this time, without any worries, we can focus all our efforts on dealing with the Lu Wu Realm.

Once we conquer it, and then turn around and take over Qiongqi Realm, the overall situation will be completely settled!

Upon hearing the words of the Nine Phoenix Emperor, all the powerful figures present breathed a sigh of relief.

Over the years, the elusive and mysterious Demon Dao sect of the Lu Wu Realm has caused them considerable trouble.

It's not that we can't beat them, it's that we simply can't find their exact location.

Only the First-Generation Imperial Lord, an Immortals and Gods descended to earth, could accurately pinpoint the location of the Devil Cultivator by relying on his profound understanding of heaven and earth, as well as the assistance of the Will of Heaven and Earth in the Nine Phoenix Realm.

Then, Secret Method is used to obscure the opponent's ability to sense celestial secrets, thus enabling a successful sneak attack.

With the threat of Demon Dao gone, the seven races of the Nine Phoenix Realm naturally ceased their previous disputes and agreed to launch a major attack on the Lu Wu Realm after the Realm Gate was fully opened. They also began intensive troop deployment once again.
