Ancient Sacred Artifacts Are Nothing Special, True Phoenix Sky Burning Art!

The Black Nether Abyss, once dense and oppressive, seemed shrouded by darkness.

Countless Spirit Devouring Insects blotted out the sky as they descended upon the experts of the Liu Region and Mu Region.

"Ah!!!"

"Run... He's... a demon..."

Buzz—

Buzz—

The deep droning was unbearably piercing at that moment, like Death's scythe mercilessly harvesting every life.

As the swarm of Spirit Devouring Insects descended upon the earth like a torrential downpour,

they directly engulfed every expert of the Liu Region. Faced with the insect swarm, they did not even have the courage to flee,

and even their faint screams were drowned out by the endless buzzing of wings...

"This is bad, run!"

Mu Feng's face filled with horror.

He turned, seized Mu Chen by the shoulder, and sprinted frantically toward the outskirts of the Black Nether Abyss.

Rumble—

Just as Mu Feng was about to rush toward the outskirts, the ground beneath his feet suddenly began to tremble.

Thud—

Thud, thud, thud—

Urgent, surging footsteps came from afar, drawing closer, as though some terrifying existence was approaching the Black Basin.

The next moment,

Mu Feng's pupils abruptly contracted. He saw a sight he had never imagined in his life.

Countless Spirit Beasts had gathered into a terrifying beast tide, charging madly toward the Black Basin.

The sound of the beast tide trampling the ground

made the earth beneath their feet tremble and split open with horrifying cracks.

Yet,

those Spirit Beasts seemed utterly unaware, as though drawn by something.

The Spirit Beasts behind trampled over the corpses of those in front, crazed and relentless as they charged straight at them...

"That is..."

"What exactly happened here?!"

Mu Feng stood there blankly.

Behind him was a sky-covering swarm of Spirit Devouring Insects; ahead was a terrifying beast tide formed from endless Spirit Beasts...

Buzz—

Just as Mu Feng fell into despair,

an incomparably profound and mysterious halo, seemingly from time immemorial, enveloped him and Mu Chen.

The halo gathered above the Black Basin, forming an enormous Mandala Flower.

As its petals swayed,

the sky-covering insect swarm and the frenzied beast tide seemed to have been paused in an instant.

"That is..."

Seeing the enormous Mandala Flower above the Black Basin,

Qing Luo could not help furrowing his brows.

His Double Pupils turned, and Qing Luo saw the page of Black Paper within Mu Chen's body, covered in Mandala patterns!

A Primordial Sacred Artifact—the Immemorial Catalogue!

It was the Primordial Sacred Artifact that recorded the Eternal Undying Body, possessing the power to destroy planes.

The Immemorial Catalogue within Mu Chen's body was merely a single page,

yet it still made Qing Luo feel troubled...

Mu Chen possessed two great life-saving measures!

Qing Yan Jing's Spirit Body and the Immemorial Catalogue!

Once Mu Chen cultivated the Great Pagoda Tower, the Spirit Body Qing Yan Jing had left within the Great Pagoda Art would activate.

In other words,

the current Mu Chen was simply incapable of activating Qing Yan Jing's Spirit Body within the Cultivation Method.

He had thought this would be something easily dealt with,

but an unexpected complication had still arisen...

Fortunately,

the Immemorial Catalogue within Mu Chen was only a sealing page. If it had been another immortal page, there might have been trouble.

Buzz—

The Mandala Flower trembled slightly.

An intangible yet substantial force washed out from its petals, containing the patterns of the Great Dao as it spread toward the outskirts of the Black Nether Abyss.

"Ancient Mandala Flower... a sealing page? Let me see what a Primordial Sacred Artifact can do!"

Under the gaze of Qing Luo's Double Pupils,

he could clearly see that the sealing patterns spreading outward were the route the Immemorial Catalogue was preparing to use to take Mu Chen away.

With Mu Chen's current strength, he could not possibly control the Immemorial Catalogue.

The Immemorial Catalogue had been passively triggered solely because Mu Chen was in danger, which had greatly weakened its power.

"Kirin Step!"

Qing Luo shouted sharply.

Vast Purple Qi spread beneath his feet, Dao Rhythm arising with every step, as though an ancient Divine King had descended into the world.

A Kirin Phantom accompanied Qing Luo at his side.

Boom—

Boom—

As Qing Luo unleashed the Kirin Treasure Technique, an invisible force spread toward Mu Chen.

After taking only a few steps,

the sealing patterns extending from the Mandala Flower twisted and fell into disorder under the crushing pressure.

Mu Chen, at the center of it all,

felt as though his internal organs had been struck by a heavy hammer, nearly rupturing...

Above the heavens,

as Qing Luo took step after step, a purple Kirin Phantom, like an Immortal King descending into the world, gradually solidified and looked down upon the Immemorial Catalogue within Mu Chen's body.

"A Primordial Sacred Artifact is nothing special!"

Brimming with confidence, Qing Luo took his final step.

The Purple Qi in the heavens surged instantly. Qing Luo's step seemed to contain the Great Dao of the Kirin, enough to kill the Son of the Plane on the spot.

Buzz—

Just as Qing Luo's foot was about to descend,

the page of Black Paper within Mu Chen's body manifested between heaven and earth, and the Mandala Flower patterns upon it grew increasingly bright.

Strands of sealing power

spread like creeping vines, flooding toward Qing Luo to bind him.

Even as domineering as the Kirin Treasure Technique was,

it was bound by the sealing power of the Immemorial Catalogue. Layer upon layer of sealing force left Qing Luo unable to move.

Immediately afterward,

the bodies of Mu Feng and Mu Chen gradually turned illusory as they departed along the sealing patterns.

As Mu Chen departed,

the patterns on the Immemorial Catalogue instantly dimmed. Just as it was about to vanish,

an indifferent, icy voice echoed through the air.

"Sky Mending Art!"

As Qing Luo unleashed the Sky Mending Art,

his body turned illusory in an instant. As though time had reversed, he appeared outside the sealing power of the Immemorial Catalogue.

He had returned to an instant earlier...

Qing Luo had only just mastered the Sky Mending Art.

He was not proficient in using this technique and could only forcibly control it through his Double Pupils' ability to break down the origin of Cultivation Methods.

However, this brief reversal of time gave Qing Luo an absolute advantage in this clash!

Bang—

Golden-red flames coiled around his Whole Body.

A pair of illusory True Phoenix wings, radiating Pressure and nobility, appeared behind Qing Luo.

Screech—

A phoenix cry swept through the heavens.

The True Phoenix wings trembled slightly.

Qing Luo vanished from where he stood and appeared before the Immemorial Catalogue as though teleporting.

"If the Kirin Treasure Technique won't work, then let's try the True Phoenix Treasure Art!"

"Flying Phoenix Hand!"

True Phoenix power suffused Qing Luo's right hand as he abruptly reached for the Immemorial Catalogue that was about to disappear.

Buzz—

The instant he touched the Immemorial Catalogue,

terrifying sealing power surged forth like raging waves, seeking to seal Qing Luo once more.

"True Phoenix Sky Burning Art!"

Qing Luo had anticipated this.

Scorching True Phoenix Sacred Flame rose from his palm, contending against the sealing power within the Immemorial Catalogue.

Qing Luo's strength was insufficient.

He could only wield one or two parts out of ten of the True Phoenix Treasure Art's power, but the Immemorial Catalogue before him was also ownerless.

Under the burning of the True Phoenix Sacred Flame,

the Immemorial Catalogue's sealing power gradually weakened, and the Mandala patterns upon it dispersed.

In their place

was a page of Mysterious Black Paper suffused with an ancient, primordial, supreme aura.

"This is the Immemorial Catalogue..."

"The sealing page within Mu Chen's body!"

Looking at the Mysterious Black Paper in his palm,

a flicker of excitement appeared in Qing Luo's eyes.

Although he had not dealt with Mu Chen this time, taking the Immemorial Catalogue from his body was no different from cutting off his future and destroying his foundation!

After all,

the Immemorial Catalogue had undoubtedly played a crucial role in Mu Chen's rise to become a Dominator.

Now that he had lost the Immemorial Catalogue, he had lost the qualifications to contend with Qing Luo.

From this point on,

Mu Chen posed no danger in Qing Luo's eyes. He was just some nobody by the roadside!
