A Phoenix Roosted in the Wutong Tree, a Phoenix Egg Appeared
The enormous Wutong Wood, about Hundred Zhang long, was like a towering mountain, burning with raging Flame —a terrifying Flame that no Cultivator could withstand. Yet, the Ninth Princess, Ying Wushuang, was able to move freely within those Flame.
With a wave of the Jade Banana Fan, the Samadhi Divine Wind transformed into a rotating Wind Pillar, blowing away all the Flame and forming a long cylindrical passage.
"Wow... so powerful... So that's the princess... As expected... the imperial family is beyond our reach."
Looking at the jade-green banana leaf fan in Ying Wushuang's hands, many Cultivators had a hint of greed and envy in their eyes. At least, they didn't have a treasure that could blow away Flame.
Thinking about the princess's situation, many Cultivator also looked at Ying Yan. Both of them came from the Imperial Clan, but Ying Wushuang could move freely in and out of the Flame, while Ying Yan could not. It was no wonder that everyone had strange thoughts about her.
The gazes of the surrounding Cultivator made Ying Yan's face extremely ugly, as if a ball of Flame was stuck in her chest, and she had to vent it.
As Prince of the Great Qin Empire, being watched like this, Ying Yan's face darkened, and just as he was about to lash out, a sudden change occurred.
"Hmm? Something's not right with the Flame..."
Zhuge Xiang's Divine Sense was the first to detect the anomaly. He stared at the Flame burning on the Bear Fire Parasol Tree and saw that the Flame were converging towards the top of the Wutong Wood at an extremely fast speed.
The Hundred Zhang -long Wutong Wood stood tall like a mountain peak. The Flame had initially enveloped the entire massive Wutong Wood, but as they converged towards Flame top, Flame slowly disappeared from bottom to top, revealing the Wutong Wood trunk itself, like a beautiful woman undressing.
"What's going on? What's wrong with these Flame?" Around the Wutong Wood, a hundred Cultivator craned their necks, discussing the strange change in the Flame. The sudden change Human Heart, but they were also filled with anticipation. As for what they were anticipating, that was self-evident.
"There it is!" Although the Flame had not yet fully contracted and converged, and only one-tenth of the Wutong Wood was exposed, everyone present immediately located the center of the Flame. Artifact Flight and looked closely. In the middle of the raging Flame, there was a black, oval-shaped stone.
The black stone was stuck in the Wutong Wood. It was inconspicuous, but under the raging Flame, cracks appeared on the black stone, and then stone chips flew off and transformed into a dark red egg, the size of a water vat, which bloomed with Profound Mysteries runes under the Flame.
"Could this be??" Looking at the dark red egg atop the Wutong Wood, the Cultivator' eyes widened, and their breathing became rapid. The impatient Cultivator couldn't resist and rushed towards the egg.
With a cultivation level of the seventh level of the Spell Control Stage, a deep blue bell emitted an extremely dense water vapor, which transformed into a light shield that enveloped the Cultivator's entire body. He then charged into the Flame at full speed.
While this defense wasn't enough to sustain him searching through the Flame, it should be sufficient to hold out for the time it took to locate the target and seize the Phoenix Egg —a round trip that would only take two or three breaths.
Rushing into the Flame, the Cultivator moved with incredible speed, instantly arriving beside the Phoenix Egg and snatching it into his robes.
Seeing that the deep blue bell-shaped Treasure Artifact had already developed cracks and the light screen formed by water vapor had dimmed in just a short time, the Cultivator dared not waste any more time and hurriedly turned around and flew out of the Wutong Wood.
"Leave the Phoenix Egg for me!"
Seeing that some unknown Cultivator had snatched the Phoenix Egg before her, Ying Wushuang pouted and said angrily, as she spoke, she swung the Jade Banana Fan in her hand fiercely at the Cultivator.
The Samadhi Divine Wind appeared, transforming into a rotating Wind Pillar that hurtled towards the Cultivator. Moreover, the sweeping wind also engulfed the Flame, with the wind fueling the fire and the fire amplifying the wind's power, creating a terrifying sight.
The Cultivator's expression changed drastically. How could the already dim and lifeless water vapor shield around him possibly withstand the pillar of wind and fire formed by the fusion of divine wind and Flame? It shattered with a bang.
Amidst screams, the Cultivator at the seventh level of the Spell Control Stage within the Flame was instantly engulfed by countless Flame. From the inside out, the flames surged and burned him to ashes in an instant.
Hiss...
Seeing this, some of the restless Cultivator gasped and stopped in their tracks, not daring to step forward.
Ying Wushuang's Lingbao, the Samadhi Divine Wind, was already terrifying, and with the addition of the condensed Wutong Wood, it was even more formidable. Even Cultivator at the seventh level of the Spell Control Stage was instantly burned to death. Who would dare to be presumptuous then?
"Hehe, do Phoenix Egg need to absorb heat to hatch? It'll be great to see what the baby Phoenix looks like when it hatches."
The Jade Banana Fan instantly killed a Cultivator at the seventh level of the Spell Control Stage. Ying Wushuang opened her fair hand and accurately grabbed the Phoenix Egg, her eyes filled with curiosity and anticipation.
Sure enough, the center of the Flame gathered on the Wutong Wood Phoenix Egg. The Phoenix Egg was like a black hole, sucking in countless Flame from the Wutong Wood. As the Flame grew more and more turbulent, even the Jade Banana Fan could hardly fan the increasingly dense Flame. Ying Wushuang simply placed the Phoenix Egg back on top of the Wutong Wood and watched it hatch. He held the Phoenix Egg leaf fan, standing ready to prevent anyone from fighting over it.
The Cultivator exchanged bewildered glances, their eyes filled with greed as they stared at the Phoenix Egg. However, Ying Wushuang killing tactics just now prevented them from acting recklessly. Whoever went up would be vulnerable to Ying Wushuang's attack; but if they didn't go up, would they simply watch the Phoenix Egg hatch and ultimately fall into Ying Wushuang's hands?
"Prepare to make a move..." Ying Yan said in a low voice, her eyes fixed on the Phoenix Egg. She was already being suppressed by Ten Princes and Princesses, and this Phoenix Egg was of great significance to her. In order to increase her strength, Ying Yan was willing to make enemies of anyone.
Ying Yan speaking, Lei Qianjun, Ming Ying, Gu Mei, and the others beside her nodded one after another, their eyes fixed on the Phoenix Egg, their greed equally evident. If they obtained the Phoenix Egg, it would hatch into a divine Phoenix bird, which would be of extraordinary significance.
Call out!
Finally, seeing that the Phoenix Egg was about to hatch, some Cultivator could no longer hold back. A dazzling arrow shot out, its target aimed directly at the Phoenix Egg.
With an arrow shot out, the Cultivator shouted even louder, "What are you waiting for? Everyone, why aren't you attacking? As long as we Knockback that Phoenix Egg away, we won't have to fear those terrifying Flame."
Although Ying Wushuang easily blocked the arrow, the Cultivator's words made the eyes of the greedy people light up, and they successively made their moves, vying to strike the Phoenix Egg with Sword Qi, palm force, and saber force.
"You bastards..." With the Phoenix Egg about to hatch, these Cultivator attacked simultaneously. Ying Wushuang gritted her teeth, her pretty face filled with murderous intent.
After all, one can't fight against many opponents, and these Cultivators are all quite strong. How could Ying Wushuang possibly withstand all their attacks alone?
Countless attacks surged directly into the dense Flame. The Phoenix Egg, which had been absorbing the rich power of the Flame, was struck by the barrage of attacks. As if kicked hard, it was sent flying and blasted out of the Flame.
Whether it was because the Flame it had absorbed were sufficient, or because the attacks had damaged the Phoenix Egg, a crack visibly appeared on the Phoenix Egg.
Without the Phoenix Egg to nourish it, the blazing Flame on the Wutong Wood slowly dissipated...
"My Phoenix Egg! You bastards!" Seeing the Phoenix Egg that was originally in her hands Knockback, Ying Wushuang face was filled with rage, and she fiercely waved the huge banana leaf fan in her hand at everyone.
The power of the Spirit Artifact, combined with the cultivation of the Tenth Layer of Spell Control Stage, created a howling hurricane that caused many Cultivators in the Divine Ability Stage to stagger and nearly be blown off their Artifact Flight.
Regardless of the effect of her fanning, Ying Wushuang turned around and flew at high speed toward the Phoenix Egg, reaching out her palm to grab it.
The Phoenix Egg, its light flickering, appeared extremely unstable. It was unclear whether the young Phoenix Egg inside had suffered severe Vital Energy or was already on the verge of hatching.
"Make your move!" Seeing the Phoenix Egg Knockback, Ying Yan shouted sharply.
With a wave of his hand, a small purple hammer covered in streaks of Lightning appeared in his hand. The violent Lightning power made him exude a terrifying aura. It was a Spirit Artifact Ying Yan's hand.
The thirteen Princes and Princesses were the geniuses of the Great Qin Empire's Imperial Clan, and each of them naturally needed to be carefully nurtured. According to the rules of the Great Qin Empire, once these Prince and Prince successfully ascended the throne, the emperor would personally bestow upon them a useful Spirit Artifact. Ying Wushuang received the Jade Banana Fan, while Ying Yan received this small and cute, yet incredibly powerful Thunder God Hammer!
"Go!" In terms of attack power, Spirit Artifact like the Thunder God Hammer naturally surpasses the Jade Banana Fan. Seeing that the Phoenix Egg had already broken free from the Flame, Ying Yan threw out the Thunder God Hammer, which transformed into a dazzling bolt of lightning and chased after the dark red Phoenix Egg.
Ming Ying drew his bow, and an incredibly dense light gathered on the bowstring, transforming into a beam of light that shot towards Ying Wushuang.
He didn't think he could hurt Ying Wushuang, but he only needed to hold her off for a moment. Although Ying Yan was not as strong as Ying Wushuang was just one person.
Despite being at the Tenth Layer of Spell Control Stage, Ying Wushuang dared not underestimate Ming Ying's attack. He hurriedly took out a palm-sized wooden mirror and shone it on the arrow. Visibly, the speed of the arrow suddenly decreased, becoming as slow as a tortoise.
"Phoenix Egg?" In the midst of the chaos, Zhuge Xiang, his eyes locked onto the shooting Phoenix Egg, also made his move, Flying Sword Immortal on his sword.
In the Pet Interface, I have three slots. Besides Xiao Yue occupying Pet Interface, the other two are currently empty. A Phoenix pet? Zhuge Xiang also needs one. Once the Phoenix grows up and Devourer's Treasure state, wouldn't I be able to temporarily borrow its Phoenix Innate Ability? (To be continued...)
