In the sky, a phoenix emerged from the blazing fire, accompanied by a clear and resonant phoenix cry.
Following that, a fire phoenix of immense size, reaching a length of one hundred meters and entwined with raging flames, plummeted straight down like a shooting star piercing the night sky.
Seeing this, Lina's expression shifted instantly. Looking at the giant fire phoenix tearing through the night sky, she, who had originally intended to continue her attack on Mu Tianchen, retreated dozens of steps directly backward.
However, the fire phoenix paid no heed, plunging like a shooting star and charging rapidly toward Lina's direction, as if it wanted to tear Lina completely to pieces.
This fire phoenix possessed terrifying offensive power, and the moment it appeared in this spatial domain, it began scorching the space itself.
Furthermore, under the scorching heat of the fire phoenix, this space filled with dark aura actually showed faint signs of being unable to hold up.
"Spirit Pagoda vice head, Sky Phoenix Douluo Leng Yaozhu?"
Looking at the fire phoenix, Lina bit her lower lip and spoke with a rather gloomy expression.
Although their Holy Spirit Cult had lived in seclusion for many years, they were not entirely ignorant of the outside world.
Every year, their Holy Spirit Cult gathered information on the peak powerhouses of Douluo Continent in order to better grasp the situation of the continent's top experts and carry out their next steps accordingly.
As the vice pavilion master of the Spirit Pagoda, Leng Yaozhu was naturally among those they collected information on.
As a fellow female Title Douluo powerhouse, she was not unfamiliar with Leng Yaozhu either; therefore, the moment that aura erupted, she sensed that the person behind it was actually Leng Yaozhu.
The appearance of Leng Yaozhu's aura had already disrupted her plans. With Leng Yaozhu present, it would truly be difficult for her to drag this brat back.
That brat turns out to be her disciple.
At that moment, Lina glanced at Mu Tianchen, a flash of surprise crossing her eyes. What had she just heard? This little fellow was the disciple of that dead thing Leng Yaozhu?
At this moment, a huge projection appeared in the sky. Could this giant figure, completely enveloped in blazing fire and covered from head to toe in fiery red wings, be none other than Mu Tianchen's teacher, Leng Yaozhu?
"Such dense dark aura. Are you a member of the Holy Spirit Cult?"
Right then, high in midair, Leng Yaozhu's projection looked at Lina with an icy gaze, her pupils covered in Phoenix True Fire and brimming with a sacred sense.
As a ninety-eighth-rank Super Douluo, Leng Yaozhu's perceptive power was far beyond what Mu Tianchen could match.
Mu Tianchen could not sense the dense dark aura on her opponent, but Leng Yaozhu, a ninety-eighth-rank Super Douluo, could sense it quite intuitively.
"Hmph! You aren't qualified to know who I am."
Lina wore a disdainful expression. Even if it was Sky Phoenix Douluo Leng Yaozhu, so what? Ever since she joined the Holy Spirit Cult, she had viewed all the heroes under heaven as dust.
In her world, only the Holy Spirit Cult's Two Emperors and One King were worthy of her respect; what could a mere Sky Phoenix Douluo who had yet to reach Limit Douluo possibly count for?
At that moment, her previous youthful, beautiful-maiden appearance vanished completely. At some unknown point, a powerful burst of dark energy had condensed within her hands.
Lina pointed a finger, and in an instant, heaven and earth shattered as a booming sound echoed across the sky. Following that, a gigantic black finger remarkably materialized out of thin air.
Intense energy raged wildly.
Under Lina's control, that giant black finger instantly erupted into a fierce battle with Leng Yaozhu's fire phoenix.
Two powerful streams of energy constantly collided in the sky, and an extremely terrifying aura burst forth within this space.
Rumble— The intense energy generated by their collision scattered in all directions, immediately engulfing Mu Tianchen not far away.
When Leng Yaozhu descended, she had already layered a protective barrier over Mu Tianchen; no matter how powerful the aftermath of their battle was, it could not breach this barrier.
Consequently, Mu Tianchen was able to observe his surroundings amidst the intense energy aftermath.
At this moment, watching this earth-shattering attack, Mu Tianchen's breathing instantly grew rapid, his gaze staring dully at the terrifying giants stretching dozens of meters in the sky.
He felt deeply shocked in his heart. Was this the terrifying combat power of a Super Douluo?
He turned his hands from palms into fists and took a deep breath. If he remembered correctly, Leng Yaozhu and the person before him—Dark Bell Na Nali, one of the Four Dark Heavenly Kings—were both at this moment cultivation-wise ninety-eighth-rank Super Douluos, both just a step away from breaking through to the ninety-ninth-rank Limit Douluo realm.
However, in terms of talent, Leng Yaozhu was ultimately a cut above.
Not only was Leng Yaozhu a Four-Word Battle Armor master herself, but in the near future, Leng Yaozhu would also break through to the ninety-ninth-rank Limit Douluo, becoming a supreme powerhouse truly standing at the very pinnacle of the mortal world.
Compared to Leng Yaozhu, this Dark Bell, one of the Four Dark Heavenly Kings, fell slightly short.
By the grand finale, she would only be a ninety-eighth-rank Super Douluo, ultimately beaten to death raw by Tang Wulin's Senior Brother A Ruheng during the war between humanity and the abyss.
Just as Mu Tianchen was watching the battle between the two top powerhouses, a voice rang in Mu Tianchen's ear.
"Tianchen, watch carefully. This will benefit your future cultivation."
Hearing this, Mu Tianchen's body trembled. He recognized that voice—was it not his teacher, Sky Phoenix Douluo Leng Yaozhu?
Was she having him watch her battle with Dark Bell to let him quickly experience what a showdown between peak powerhouses looked like?
Mu Tianchen raised his head abruptly and looked toward the sky.
At some unknown point, Leng Yaozhu's figure had already appeared within this spatial domain, engaging in a fierce battle with Dark Bell.
Dark Bell's martial soul was the Fear Bell, which possessed powerful mental attacks capable of arousing a person's fear from the depths of their heart and drastically weakening their combat power.
Furthermore, the Fear Bell endowed her with numerous powerful control abilities; therefore, Dark Bell believed that she had nothing to fear from Leng Yaozhu.
Leng Yaozhu's martial soul was the Heavenly Phoenix, a powerful phoenix martial soul whose strength was formidable even among all beast martial souls.
Her Phoenix True Fire naturally possessed an exceptionally powerful restraining effect against Evil Soul Masters; hence, when she unleashed a stream of phoenix fire toward Dark Bell, it directly blasted Dark Bell back.
"As expected of Sky Phoenix Douluo, your strength is indeed formidable."
Enduring the powerful attack, Lina's breathing grew rapid and her aura began to fluctuate unevenly. Clearly, Leng Yaozhu's previous attack had inflicted no small injury upon her.
High in midair, Leng Yaozhu furrowed her brows and said, "A Super Douluo? To think such a powerful Evil Soul Master still exists in the world today."
"I have heard that the Holy Spirit Cult has one king, two emperors, and four heavenly kings. You must be either the one king, one of the two emperors, or one of the four heavenly kings of the Holy Spirit Cult."
"The Holy Spirit Cult commits countless evils. Over these past ten thousand years, people from the Holy Spirit Cult have caused countless tragic families to be torn apart."
"Today, I, Sky Phoenix Leng Yaozhu, shall act on behalf of the heavens and execute you, this remnant of the Holy Spirit Cult. Go to hell!"
Leng Yaozhu brought her hands together, and terrifying flame power surged in midair as a Holy Flame Sword, burning entirely with blazing fire, materialized out of thin air right there.
Catching the Holy Flame Sword, Leng Yaozhu immediately launched an attack on Lina.
On Douluo Continent, for the vast majority of people, the Holy Spirit Cult had vanished many years ago and had not appeared for over several hundred years.
Yet Leng Yaozhu had always known that the Holy Spirit Cult still existed and had not perished under the joint annihilation efforts of the Federation and major factions.
They had shifted from online to offline, carrying out small-scale operations in various parts of the Federation over all these years.
It was only because there were moles among them within the Federation that they had never been completely exposed to the public eye.
Lina was provoked into a laugh by Leng Yaozhu's words, and she said in an icy tone, "Then let me see how you plan to take me down!"
