Yuan Feng's Tyranny, the Fire Phoenix King's Tragedy

"System, can you be any more of a bastard?"

Hearing the mission issued by the system, Ling Tian couldn't help raising his middle finger.

Ling Tian became even more certain that his system was definitely not serious.

As for the two choices the system had presented this time, Ling Tian had nothing to hesitate over and directly chose the second.

What a joke.

What right did that old bird, Fire Phoenix King, have to be his bargain-bin father?

What was more, the reward for the second choice revealed a few clues.

There was definitely some unspeakable, inexplicable connection between Fire Phoenix King and Demon Ancestor Luohu.

Once Ling Tian was born, the first thing he would do was crush Fire Phoenix King to death.

And eliminate this hidden danger for the Phoenix Clan!

"Hmph!"

Ling Tian snorted coldly. Immortal Power gathered above his head and shot into the heavens.

Within the Fetal Membrane World, a familiar scene unfolded...

Yuan Feng's Cave Mansion.

When Yuan Feng heard Fire Phoenix King's declaration of love, a flash of killing intent abruptly rose in her phoenix eyes.

Just as Yuan Feng was about to leave the cave mansion, Thump! Thump! Thump!

The familiar sounds of fetal movement rang out...

Yuan Feng couldn't help grinning.

"Don't worry, kid. How could your mom possibly fancy an old bird like Fire Phoenix King?"

"Just watch how your mom beats the hell out of him!"

The next moment, violent spiritual energy surged.

Yuan Feng vanished from where she stood.

Outside Southern Ming Undying Volcano.

After Fire Phoenix King finished speaking, he waited eagerly for Yuan Feng's response.

All along, Fire Phoenix King had coveted Yuan Feng intensely.

When the clan had nominated him to become Yuan Feng's Dao Companion last time, Fire Phoenix King had thought his chance had finally come.

Yet in the end, Yuan Feng rejected him outright.

What enraged Fire Phoenix King most was...

only a few days later, Yuan Feng had actually become pregnant.

It was a downright slap in the face!

Over the years, Fire Phoenix King had always harbored resentment toward Yuan Feng and Ling Tian.

Especially Ling Tian.

Just when Fire Phoenix King thought he had completely lost all hope, that "Heavenly Mandate Daoist" came.

Although Heavenly Mandate Daoist had ultimately failed to persuade Yuan Feng, he had persuaded him!

Over the years, Fire Phoenix King had constantly received gifts from Heavenly Mandate Daoist.

Beneath the piled-up resources of countless heavenly treasures, Fire Phoenix King had made a breakthrough.

At last, his opportunity had come.

If he could become Dao Companions with Yuan Feng, he would be able to control the Phoenix Clan.

Then, together with the Heavenly Mandate Daoist, he would secretly cultivate their power.

When the right moment came, they would rise with the tide and unite the primordial world.

By then, he, the Fire Phoenix King, would no longer be merely an elder of the Phoenix Clan.

He would be the common sovereign of the primordial world!

Such a grand ambition and mighty undertaking—

just thinking about it made the Fire Phoenix King tremble with excitement.

And all of it

had to begin with becoming Dao Companions with Yuan Feng.

This made the Fire Phoenix King look forward to it even more...

Unlike last time, the Fire Phoenix King was brimming with confidence this time.

He, the Fire Phoenix King, would surely succeed in one stroke and shake the primordial world with his name!

Just then, the Fire Phoenix King's eyes lit up as he spotted the Yuan Feng he had been yearning for walking slowly toward him.

"Yuan Feng, you're here!"

the Fire Phoenix King said with a smile, already changing the form of address from Clan Chief to Yuan Feng.

As he spoke, the Fire Phoenix King dismissed his true form and assumed the appearance of an Innate Dao Body.

Elsewhere.

"Heh!"

Hearing this, Yuan Feng could not help but sneer.

However, to the Fire Phoenix King, that sneer sounded like Yuan Feng's response to him.

The smile on the Fire Phoenix King's face spread, until his entire face bloomed like a chrysanthemum.

"What a fucking punchable face!"

Seeing that punchable face of the Fire Phoenix King's, Yuan Feng and Ling Tian cursed inwardly at the same time.

Yuan Feng, who had been in her Innate Dao Body form, suddenly transformed and revealed her true form.

Before the stunned gazes of the Fire Phoenix King and countless Primordial Beings, Yuan Feng fiercely spat a thick gob of saliva at the Fire Phoenix King...

Uh, it was a flame!

Yuan Feng cultivated far more than merely the Law of Fire.

Like Ling Tian, she possessed all five elements!

This flame of Yuan Feng's

was the ultimate fire born from the evolution of the five elements—Nirvana True Fire!

"AAARGH!"

Caught completely off guard, the Fire Phoenix King was struck directly by the Nirvana True Fire.

At once, he let out a shrill, miserable scream.

Fortunately, the Fire Phoenix King was, after all, a Primordial Golden Immortal.

He immediately revealed his true form.

With the Fire Phoenix King exerting his full strength, a pure power of flame surged forth from within him.

Though it still could not extinguish the Nirvana True Fire, it could barely keep the Nirvana True Fire at bay.

Only then

did the Fire Phoenix King have the chance to look at Yuan Feng, his eyes filled with fury and confusion.

"Yuan Feng, why are you treating me like this?"

"Am I still not worthy of you now?"

The Fire Phoenix King's unwilling roar echoed between heaven and earth.

Yet.

Yuan Feng did not spare the Fire Phoenix King so much as a glance.

An even denser mass of Nirvana True Fire had already condensed, crashing down upon the Fire Phoenix King's head.

"Sizzle!"

Pitch-black spatial rifts appeared all around that mass of Nirvana True Fire.

Terrifying heat waves swept in every direction.

The spiritual energy in the void became incomparably violent.

"Gasp!"

Some of the weaker Great Experts of Hong Huang felt a stabbing pain in their Primordial Spirits and could not help crying out in agony.

This showed just how terrifying Yuan Feng's attack was.

Elsewhere.

Upon seeing this, the Fire Phoenix King no longer had the leisure to curse.

He only felt catastrophe bearing down on him. Desperately, he activated the Law of Fire, transforming it into countless fiery-red defensive barriers in an attempt to withstand this berserk strike.

"Boom!"

A terrifying roar rang out.

Yuan Feng's Nirvana True Fire slammed viciously into the defensive barriers laid down by the Fire Phoenix King.

A flicker of joy immediately appeared on the Fire Phoenix King's face.

He could clearly sense that his defensive barriers had only been depleted by a small amount.

"Hahahaha!"

The Fire Phoenix King could not help bursting into wild laughter.

"Yuan Feng, do you think I'm still the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal I once was?"

"I'm a Chaos Golden Immortal now too!"

"You're only one minor realm stronger than me."

"It won't be so easy for you to subdue me!"

"I advise you..."

Yet.

The Fire Phoenix King had barely gotten halfway through his words.

When his face suddenly froze...

He could clearly sense Yuan Feng's mass of Nirvana True Fire abruptly swelling by a full circle.

Then.

The defensive barriers he had laid down began rapidly dissipating at an astonishing speed.

Most bizarre of all...

The Fire Phoenix King felt that, to that mass of Nirvana True Fire.

His defensive barriers were not obstacles at all.

They were more like food.

Continuously devoured by the Nirvana True Fire.

As his defensive barriers kept dwindling.

That mass of Nirvana True Fire visibly grew several times larger.

It even let out a human-like burp.

"How can this be?"

The Fire Phoenix King had finally realized the terror of Nirvana True Fire, yet he could not understand it no matter how he tried.

What the Fire Phoenix King did not know was...

Nirvana True Fire was formed from the Five Elements. The Five Elements circulated endlessly, giving rise to one another without cease.

His source true fire, however, was merely the manifestation of a single Law of Fire.

The two were not on the same level at all.

Nirvana True Fire could even directly devour source true fire.

After only a few breaths.

The defensive net laid down by the Fire Phoenix King completely dissipated.

"No!"

Engulfed by Nirvana True Fire once more, the Fire Phoenix King could not help letting out a despairing scream!
