60,000-Year Sky-Rending Xun Wind Phoenix, Azure Sky Cloud Sea Sound and Dust Severed

At this moment, Ye Chen's sweat had already soaked his back.

It was not only the absorption of the Soul Ring. The fusion of the External Soul Bone also brought him tearing pain that ordinary people could hardly endure.

A pair of phantom azure-gold wings was being branded into his shoulder blades, undergoing the deepest level of fusion!

This was an incomparably dangerous process. The slightest mistake could cause him to be blown apart by the Soul Ring and Soul Bone energy, or leave him severely injured if the fusion failed.

"Cry!"

At that critical moment, a clear cry that seemed capable of tearing apart the heavens exploded from the deepest part of the valley!

The sound was not shrill, yet it carried a piercing force that reached straight into the soul.

It was like the convergence of ten thousand howling winds!

Wherever the sound waves passed, the air buzzed.

Within Phoenix Valley, every crystal containing wind-attribute energy instantly shone brilliantly.

The wind elements throughout the entire valley transformed in an instant from lively and pure into a terrifying state of savagery and sharpness, as though they wished to tear everything apart!

"Damn it!"

Qing Luan Douluo's expression shifted slightly. He abruptly turned his head, his gaze shooting toward the source of the sound like two tangible bolts of azure lightning.

There, in the depths of the valley, an enormous blue-black figure was approaching at supersonic speed!

Its feathers were blue-black, but dazzling silver-white light flowed along their edges. It was nearly ten times larger than the Green Flame Wind Phoenix.

With its wings spread, it blotted out the sky.

Every flap stirred up visible torrents of fierce wind!

Most chilling of all were its pair of eyes, entirely silver-white—cold, savage, and devoid of the slightest warmth.

"A Sky-Rending Xun Wind Phoenix over 60,000 Years old..."

Qing Luan Douluo enunciated the name of this terrifying creature word by word.

Among wind-attribute phoenix species, it was a top-tier predator renowned for its ultimate attack power and speed!

Its bloodline was ancient and pure, and it controlled the most violent Sky-Rending Xun Wind. This wind possessed unparalleled cutting power and could even affect space to a certain extent.

Its cultivation had reached 60,000 Years. It was the undisputed overlord of Phoenix Valley!

An ordinary Soul Douluo would have almost no chance of survival before it.

Even a powerhouse who had just entered the Titled Douluo realm would find its extreme speed and attacks troublesome!

Qing Luan Douluo's peripheral vision swept over Ye Chen, who was at the most critical stage of fusion.

Then he looked toward the Sky-Rending Xun Wind Phoenix charging directly at them with world-destroying momentum, and a fierce glint flashed through his eyes.

"Insolence!"

With a sharp shout, Qing Luan Douluo no longer held anything back. The Soul Power of a Level 97 Peak Douluo erupted in full!

Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black!

Nine Soul Rings descended with a boom. The terrifying might of a Level 97 Peak Douluo caused time throughout Phoenix Valley to freeze for an instant!

An even more overwhelming pressure crushed back toward the Sky-Rending Xun Wind Phoenix.

The blue-black torrents of fierce wind sweeping toward them abruptly stalled, even showing faint signs of rolling backward!

"Cry—!!!"

The Sky-Rending Xun Wind Phoenix released a shriek mixed with shock, fury, and even greater savagery.

Qing Luan Douluo's pressure made it sense a lethal threat.

Yet it had roamed the Star Dou Great Forest for so long. Its pride as a top-tier predator allowed its ferocity to overwhelm that sliver of instinctive fear.

Its silver-white eyes locked tightly onto Ye Chen behind Qing Luan Douluo. It clearly understood that he was this terrifying human's "weakness."

With a beat of its wings!

The next moment, countless deep-black wind blades formed out of thin air.

They swept in from every direction without a single blind spot, covering Qing Luan Douluo and Ye Chen behind him as they cut toward them!

This was the Sky-Rending Xun Wind Phoenix's innate ability. It compressed the power of Xun Wind to the extreme, enough to threaten a Titled Douluo.

"You're courting death!"

A cold gleam flared in Qing Luan Douluo's eyes.

Seeing that the Sky-Rending Xun Wind Phoenix possessed such rare and powerful bloodline, and that its attribute perfectly suited Ye Chen, he had originally intended to frighten it away and leave it for the future as an excellent choice of Soul Ring.

But this beast not only refused to retreat, it even dared to attack. It needed to be taught a lesson!

Faced with the silent black spatial wind blades filling the sky, Qing Luan Douluo advanced instead of retreating, taking a step forward.

He did not release his Martial Soul Avatar. He merely raised his right arm and clenched his palm through the air.

"Sixth Soul Skill, Qing Luan's Protection!"

A phantom Azure Luan spread its wings into a wall, blocking every wind blade and protecting Ye Chen, who was absorbing the Soul Ring and Soul Bone, while cutting off all sound.

Immediately afterward, the eighth Black Soul Ring around him suddenly lit up.

"Eighth Soul Skill: Azure Sky Cloud Sea Sound and Dust Severed!"

Buzz—

There was no earth-shattering explosion. Instead, a strange sense of stillness, as though the world had been stripped away, instantly spread outward.

Boundless azure clouds surged into existence around Qing Luan Douluo.

Like an inverted celestial river, they completely enveloped the sky within a thousand-meter radius in an instant!

These azure clouds appeared soft and ethereal, yet they contained immensely powerful wind attributes. They were highly compressed and condensed azure-sky wind essence!

Within the cloud sea, the light became hazy and distorted, while every form of perception was severely disrupted.

Most terrifying of all—

The cloud sea rapidly drew away the air within its range, forming a massive and continuously expanding "vacuum domain"!

Within it, breathing became difficult, and even the circulation of Soul Power became exceptionally sluggish.

This was the true meaning of "Sound and Dust Severed"—

Sever perception, imprison energy!

The Sky-Rending Xun Wind Phoenix's incomparably swift figure visibly slowed the instant it rushed into the Azure Sky Cloud Sea!

The violent Sky-Rending Xun Wind around its body was greatly weakened in the vacuum.

The Sky-Rending Xun Wind Phoenix was both shocked and enraged. Its silver-white wind eyes flickered madly as it tried to lock onto the locations of Qing Luan Douluo and Ye Chen.

"Here."

Qing Luan Douluo's cold voice was like Gui Mei, everywhere within the cloud sea.

The Sky-Rending Xun Wind Phoenix suddenly swung a fierce wind claw capable of tearing apart mountains in one direction, only to disperse a patch of azure cloud.

At the same time, the clouds at another point beside it abruptly collapsed, forming an invisible wind-pressure cannon as heavy as ten thousand tons that viciously blasted the base of its wing!

"Cry!"

The Sky-Rending Xun Wind Phoenix cried out in pain. Its body staggered, and blue-black feathers scattered through the air.

The Azure Sky Cloud Sea had not only trapped and weakened it—it had also become Qing Luan Douluo's home ground.

Though the Sky-Rending Xun Wind Phoenix possessed 60,000 Years of cultivation and a powerful body, it was toyed with at Qing Luan Douluo's mercy within the domain, powerless to resist.

Several wounds soon appeared across its body, and silver-white blood swirling like wind spilled into the cloud sea.

"The game should end now."

Qing Luan Douluo's voice rang out again, utterly emotionless. "I'll spare your life, so you can become my grandson's Soul Ring in the future!"

Before his words had faded, the entire Azure Sky Cloud Sea abruptly contracted inward.

All the scattered azure clouds frantically converged upon the Sky-Rending Xun Wind Phoenix at unprecedented speed, compressing around it!

The Sky-Rending Xun Wind Phoenix sensed fatal danger and let out a cry as it tried to break free and flee.

But it was already too late.

"Sever!"

Qing Luan Douluo spat out a single icy word.

The azure cloud cocoon compressed to the extreme, along with the vacuum within it that had been compressed to its limit, suddenly collapsed inward and exploded!

Bang—!!!

The azure cloud sea instantly dispersed, revealing the scene within.

The Sky-Rending Xun Wind Phoenix's enormous body was in a miserable state. Large patches of its gorgeous blue-black feathers had been stripped away, exposing the mangled Flesh and Blood beneath.

The enormous depression in its chest and abdomen was especially horrifying.

Its aura had weakened to the extreme. Its silver-white eyes had dimmed completely, filled with pain and fear.

"Screech—!"

With a weak yet unwilling cry, the Sky-Rending Xun Wind Phoenix transformed into a twisted, dim blue-black streak and fled for its life.

"Heh, even if you fly to the ends of the earth, you won't escape my grasp."

Qing Luan Douluo shook his head with a soft laugh.

He had tampered with the Sky-Rending Xun Wind Phoenix and could easily find it.

Once Ye Chen's cultivation was sufficient, they could locate this powerful 60,000-Year Sky-Rending Xun Wind Phoenix and hunt its Soul Ring!
