Luo Yi's body shook. As he easily broke free of the golden chains, he hurled the Immortal Art: Tianyan Forty-Nine, already charged to its limit in his hand, straight at the Nirvana Crimson Phoenix's head without hesitation.
"You insolent wretch! Do you truly think I can do nothing to you today...?"
Seeing the young man determined to kill the Nirvana Crimson Phoenix, the figure seated on a Meditation Cushion in the central hall of the Landscape Scroll showed uncontrollable fury for the first time.
After all, the Landscape Scroll in the Pearl-Curtain Blessed Land was still only a projection. He had not come in person.
Yet the golden chains were genuine Spirit Weapons, used together with an Immortal Art. Even so, they had failed to stop Luo Yi or make him hesitate for an instant.
His fist, blazing with eight colors, streaked across the sky. Before the Nirvana Crimson Phoenix's disbelieving eyes, it sent a spray of scalding scarlet Demon Blood bursting forth.
Then his fist, trailing multicolored light, swept past. The phoenix's entire neck and the head atop it dissolved into a bloody mist that scattered on the wind through the Pearl-Curtain Blessed Land.
The headless, neckless body convulsed several times on instinct before crashing to the ground.
Congratulations, Host. You have slain the first-tribulation Heavenly Demon Nirvana Crimson Phoenix and gained fifty million Energy Points. Current total Energy Points: 170 million.
Two notifications appeared in succession on the System Panel. Once Luo Yi was certain the Nirvana Crimson Phoenix was dead beyond doubt, he nodded in satisfaction and calmly clasped his hands behind his back.
It was as though what he had just killed was not a first-tribulation Heavenly Demon that had survived a Heavenly Tribulation, but an ant one might find by the roadside.
