Phoenix Evil Fire VS Amaterasu

At this moment, within Huo Yuhao's mind, a bead as transparent as glass emitted a crisp "crack."

It shattered completely into two halves.

As it fractured, a thick, ink-like black mist escaped from within; this was the incredibly dense negative emotion that had been buried deep in Huo Yuhao's Spirit Sea for years.

That was not all. The intense negative emotions belonging to Uchiha Sasuke's memories, which Huo Yuhao had absorbed during the fusion of the Uchiha Sasuke template, were also contained within.

The direction this black mist flowed was toward Huo Yuhao's eyes!

Outside.

In front of Huo Yuhao, a purple-red flame phoenix shrieked as it charged toward him. This phoenix was highly unique, its entire body composed of viscous flame Soul Power.

Every feather on this phoenix radiated a breathtaking beauty; occasionally, a feather would fall, and any plant it touched would instantly melt into nothingness without exception.

Huo Yuhao watched the terrifying phoenix calmly, without a trace of panic.

The next second, a massive surge of spiritual energy was instantly injected into his Sharingan.

This spiritual energy was evil, cold, and filled with hatred and killing intent.

Yet, Huo Yuhao was not affected. He could feel his Sharingan undergoing incredible changes under the propulsion of this energy!

Within his scarlet left pupil, a black tomoe suddenly sprouted, forming a horn-like formation with the other two tomoe, spinning incessantly.

But it didn't end there. The next moment, the tomoe spinning in Huo Yuhao's left eye all faded away, and the scarlet pupil shifted back into a bright black.

Immediately following, a bewitching flower seemed to bloom in the center of the black pupil, but upon closer inspection, it was a bright red hexagram.

The hexagram bloomed in the center of the pupil, bestowing a uniquely exotic beauty.

Anyone who had never seen it before would surely be deeply captivated the moment they locked eyes with it.

With the help of the negative spiritual energy from the Soul Bead left behind by Elder Yi, Huo Yuhao bypassed the Three-Tomoe Sharingan state and briefly unlocked the strongest form of the standard Sharingan.

Mangekyō Sharingan!

However, only the left eye was opened; Huo Yuhao's right eye was now tightly shut.

He subconsciously focused all his spiritual power onto his left eye.

Before falling into a deep slumber, Electrolux had said that when he helped Huo Yuhao condense this Soul Bead, the spiritual energy within could be used to briefly unleash the latent power of the Sharingan without suffering any backlash.

But now, Huo Yuhao felt as if every cell in his body was being pricked by needles—the pain was excruciating!

Elder Yi had still underestimated the pressure Huo Yuhao's body had to endure to activate the Mangekyō Sharingan.

He had underestimated the immense power inherent to the Mangekyō Sharingan!

With Huo Yuhao's current frail body, possessing only 17th-rank Soul Power, he could not withstand the impact of this power at all.

But Huo Yuhao had no time to process the tearing sensation radiating throughout his body, for the violent, maddened fire phoenix had already reached him, opening its blood-red maw to swallow him whole.

"Mere firefly!" Huo Yuhao roared, and at the same time, two shocking trails of blood tears streamed from his eyes.

"Amaterasu!"

The next second, a terrifying black flame erupted abruptly from the body of the purple-red phoenix.

"Skree!" A shrill, mournful wail erupted from the phoenix's throat.

The phoenix's originally magnificent feathers were all scorched charred black by the black flame.

In just a few seconds, the once majestic fire phoenix had turned into a soot-black barnyard chicken.

Yet, the black flame showed no signs of stopping, instead invading every part of the chicken even more frantically.

Terror flickered in the chicken's eyes, and shrill screams echoed from its throat from time to time.

Finally, half a minute later, the chicken turned into nothingness and vanished completely.

Ma Xiaotao stood where she was, staring at the scene before her in a daze.

Even the intense, maddening desire in her eyes had been completely replaced by terror.

That was her Phoenix Evil Fire, the one she had always taken such pride in! How could it be burned away so easily by this black flame?

Her Phoenix Evil Fire was only a step away from reaching the level of Ultimate Fire.

This black flame possessed an absolute suppression ability over the Phoenix Evil Fire; could it be...

A possibility crossed Ma Xiaotao's mind.

But just then, the black flame, having finished consuming the chicken, seemed unsatisfied and began to spread toward Ma Xiaotao.

It acted as if it would not rest until everything was incinerated.

The evil fire within Ma Xiaotao's body had been completely burned away, and a glimmer of clarity had returned to her eyes.

Seeing such a terrifying entity spreading toward her, her face was instantly filled with panic.

She spread her wings and turned to flee, but it was already too late.

The black flame spread to her side at an incredible speed, and a few wisps of the black flame climbed onto her Martial Soul wings at the same time.

"Ah!" Ma Xiaotao shrieked as she plummeted from the sky.

She felt the terrifying, destructive power of this black flame almost instantly!

Ma Xiaotao writhed on the ground in agony, driving her Soul Power to its limit in a desperate attempt to extinguish the few wisps of Black Flame.

But what filled her with even greater despair was the realization that no matter what methods she employed, the Black Flame clung to her like maggots on bone, impossible to snuff out.

On the other side, Huo Yuhao's left eye had long since returned to its original black pupil after unleashing Amaterasu.

Only two trails of blood-stained tears remained on his face.

He felt excruciating pain throughout his entire body, as if every one of his billions of cells were shriveling up in a frenzy.

Pain! It was too painful!

He curled his body into a ball, nearly losing consciousness.

"Who is it! Who dares to touch Brother's person!" A familiar voice rang out in Huo Yuhao's Spirit Sea.

An extreme chill suddenly radiated from Huo Yuhao's body.

"To touch Yuhao is to touch me. Go to hell." The voice of the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was laced with a bone-chilling frost.

"Stop shouting, Brother Sky Dream. You only show up after the fight is over; I'm truly speechless," Huo Yuhao said, enduring the intense pain with a sense of helpless resignation.

"Ah?" Tian Meng finally took in the situation on the field, discovering that it was the human woman on the opposite side who was lying on the ground, wailing incessantly.

"This—holy crap, Yuhao, how are you so badly hurt? Let Brother help you." Tian Meng, initially somewhat embarrassed, hurriedly spoke up the next second after noticing the distress in Huo Yuhao's body.

Inside Huo Yuhao's Spirit Sea, the first of the ten white spheres of Sky Dream's Origin Essence began to emit a glow, continuously merging into Huo Yuhao's body.

Huo Yuhao felt waves of coolness alleviate some of the agony, finally pulling him back from the brink of that living hell.

"Yuhao, I didn't expect that using this Soul Bead would require such a heavy price. This old man underestimated the power of your eye."

Another aged and familiar voice resonated.

Hearing this, Huo Yuhao looked up in pleasant surprise: "Teacher, you've awakened?!"

Thanks to Naiheli for the 500-point tip. Just a quick note: the tone of this book is anti-Tang San and anti-Shrek. Please don't misunderstand, fellow readers. The early plot takes place at Shrek, but he won't be joining any factions, as the protagonist will create his own later on. Won't say too much more—goodnight, everyone.
