"What?! Suppressing the Volcano of Immortality? Taking on the karma of the Phoenix Tribe?!"
"No--!!!"...
"East Prince! You're insane! What right do you have to make decisions for us?!"
"I joined the Immortal Court to seek eternal life, not to become a prisoner in that molten hell!!"
"Bound by karma? Never to be free? Are you kidding me?!"
"I'm leaving! I must leave the Immortal Court immediately!!"
"East Prince! I will never share the same sky with you!!!"...
Angry roars, desperate screams, and frantic curses instantly replaced the previous joy, merging into a raging torrent of resentment!
Countless beings had bloodshot eyes, and their Magic Power erupted uncontrollably, threatening to unleash a terrifying riot against the East Prince!
The peaceful atmosphere of Penglai Immortal Island has vanished, replaced by apocalyptic panic and murderous intent!
Just as this overwhelming resentment was about to erupt completely, tearing the weakened East Prince to shreds—
Above the Nine Heavens, as if in response to that grand vow, a cold, majestic, and unquestionable Daoist Dao Sound, seemingly woven from countless laws, was clearly imprinted deep within the True Spirit of all living beings in the Primordial Wilderness:
?"allow!"?
A single, simple word, yet it contains the absolute power of the will and rules of Heavenly Dao!
The moment the word "accurate" was uttered, time seemed to freeze for a fraction of a second.
Then, an unimaginable scene unfolded:
The magnificent Penglai Immortal Island, this supreme Primordial Wilderness Blessed Land, suddenly erupted with dazzling and mysterious radiance!
The entire island, along with all its buildings, formations, and even the Immortal Court beings who couldn't escape, seemed to have been erased from existence by an invisible giant hand.
It was like ice blocks thrown into a boiling furnace, melting and decomposing at a speed visible to the naked eye, turning into countless huge streams of light that shimmered with Golden Light of Merit but were also wrapped with black threads of karma!
They came to Penglai Immortal Island to attend the grand celebration of the Immortal Court, but unexpectedly witnessed this scene. This is truly the most hilarious joke they've ever seen since they took Transformation.
"No--!!!"
"My Dao Body!!!"
"The primordial spirit... is being stripped away!!"
Countless shrill and desperate screams were cut short before they could even be uttered.
Those creatures that were just roaring in anger, regardless of their cultivation level, had their bodies and primordial spirits rapidly disintegrate and become ethereal in the light, transforming into part of that massive stream of light.
Only a few beings with profound cultivation or those on the verge of extinction and with extremely fast reflexes managed to escape before the island vanished, but they were all pale-faced, their cultivation levels had plummeted, and their bodies were shrouded in terrifying karmic black energy.
The figure of the East Prince, along with the core essence of Penglai Immortal Island, was locked, enveloped, and pulled by an irresistible force of heaven and earth within this disintegrating stream of light!
Before he could even utter a scream, his figure vanished completely from the spot, carried by the stream of light and Southern Pole Volcano of Immortality at a speed that transcends time and space!
Rumble!!!
Penglai Immortal Island has vanished completely!
All that remained was a void of Chaos Qi.
Almost at the same time, in the far south of the primordial Primordial Wilderness, the Southern Pole Volcano of Immortality!
Boom--!!
A deafening roar, shaking the very core of the earth, resounded throughout the universe! The entire Antarctic continent trembled!
The eternally surging sea of lava, exuding an aura of Destruction, seemed to be held down by an invisible, immense force!
The raging magma instantly became docile, the massive eruption of the volcano abruptly stopped, and the scorching lava rapidly sank and solidified like the receding tide!
A boundless vitality burst forth from the depths of the earth! The land, which was originally covered by volcanic ash and was a desolate, scorched wasteland, was covered with lush greenery at a visible speed!
Withered ancient trees sprout new branches and buds, and clear springs gush forth from dried-up riverbeds!
The Destruction aura that had suppressed Antarctica for billions of years was replaced by a vibrant life force!
A high-pitched, clear phoenix cry, filled with boundless joy and liberation, like the first celestial melody since the Heaven-Opening, resounded from the Volcano of Immortality, tearing apart the despair of the past!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Four dark red chains of heaven and earth, piercing through the void and imbued with the aura of Destruction and order, suddenly snapped and disintegrated from the depths of the volcano!
Instead, four phantom chains, shimmering with pale golden light of Merit yet exuding a heavy aura of confinement, instantly traversed endless space along invisible lines of Karma and effect and contract, firmly binding the primordial spirit and Dao body of the East Prince, who was sealed within the core of the volcano!
Above the crater, Yuanfeng's magnificent figure, obscuring the sun, soared into the sky!
The heavy, tangible karmic black light that had been emanating from her body melted away almost entirely, like ice and snow exposed to the blazing sun!
Although dark karmic imprints still linger like maggots in the bones, deep within the feathers and primordial spirit (a quarter of them remain), the overwhelming burden that crushed the Phoenix Clan has indeed been largely lifted!
An unprecedented sense of ease and power filled her entire body!
"Our people are free!!"
Yuanfeng's tearful and joyful shouts ignited the entire Phoenix Clan!
"Bah! Bah! Bah!..."
Tens of thousands of phoenixes, regardless of age or strength, could no longer suppress their pent-up emotions of millions of years and their overwhelming joy at this moment!
They broke free from the caves and lava where they were hiding, transforming into dazzling streaks of light that shot into the sky!
Crimson fire phoenix, emerald green azure luan, azure ice phoenix, multicolored jaguar, pure gold Zhuo Wu...
Countless magnificent wings spread out freely under the clear Antarctic sky, weaving together a grand and magnificent picture of a hundred birds paying homage to the Primordial Wilderness and rising from the ashes, a scene never before seen since the beginning of time!
Flame-shaped tail feathers traced dazzling trails in the air, while clear phoenix cries rose and fell, merging into a hymn to life.
The blazing Southern Bright Leaving Fire no longer represents Destruction, but transforms into a pure and auspicious light, warming this newly revived land.
The phoenixes circled, danced, and chased each other, expressing their joy of rebirth and proclaiming their freedom from confinement with the most primal and passionate gestures!
However, the phoenixes, caught up in their revelry, either failed to notice or selectively ignored it.
The vast stream of light formed from the fragmented beings of the Immortal Court sealed the East Prince into the core of the volcano, while also containing the complex Karma and effect and profound karma belonging to the entire Immortal Court.
Like a maggot clinging to a bone, it has transformed into an invisible black shackle (the Karma Lock), which has already silently wrapped around the primordial spirit of every surviving member who was once connected with the Luck the Immortal Court!
Whether they were those who had managed to escape before Penglai disappeared, or members of the Immortal Court who were far away but still on the roster, at this moment, they all felt their primordial spirit suddenly sink! It was as if they were carrying an invisible mountain on their backs.
