Nine Tribulations Phoenix Dance Step [Seeking Monthly Votes, Investment]

Just as Ji Haoyue and Jiang Ming clashed, their Dao and techniques colliding, Hua Yunfei took a step forward, his feet moving through the Nine Tribulations Phoenix Dance Step.

He had inherited the Nine Tribulations Phoenix Song, the Phoenix Tribulation Rebirth Art, and other legacies. In truth, they all belonged to a supreme ancient heavenly art known as the Phoenix Tribulation. In the original story, he had even used this heavenly art to return from the dead.

With every step he took, a streak of Divine Phoenix Tribulation Light blasted toward Jiang Ming.

He had originally been unwilling to join forces with Ji Haoyue, but Jiang Ming's strength had stirred his competitive spirit!

Facing the incoming Divine Phoenix Tribulation Light, Jiang Ming neither dodged nor evaded. A hazy Dao diagram naturally appeared around him, simplifying those forces into primordial essence and absorbing them into the diagram.

The Dragon-Phoenix Auspiciousness Diagram truly countered Hua Yunfei's ancient heavenly art completely.

"Whoosh!"

Above Hua Yunfei's head, a sea of stars emerged, then transformed into a nebula that protected him at its center. Endless stars surrounded him, their light brilliant, their galaxies boundless. Standing at the heart of that starry sky, Hua Yunfei resembled a celestial lord from myth who ruled over the stars, his blue robes fluttering as he seemed utterly detached from the mortal world.

"Boom!"

Bathed in starlight, Hua Yunfei waved his hand. One star after another across the sky erupted with towering radiance, transforming into meteors plunging toward the earth as they smashed toward Jiang Ming.

The scene was terrifying, like a meteor shower descending. Starlight blazed as wave after wave of stars surged and fell, converging like the Milky Way cascading down from the nine heavens.

While resisting Ji Haoyue's attacks, Jiang Ming remained utterly calm before Hua Yunfei's secret technique from Star Peak. He stretched out his left hand, once again using Demonic Domain in the Palm. Sorry, but he only knew ultimate moves. After all, one tried-and-true move could conquer the world.

A black giant hand emerged, demonic energy billowing as devil clouds rolled through the sky and blotted out the sun. He directly seized the river of stars in his hand and refined it into nothingness. The hand's power did not diminish in the slightest as it grabbed toward Hua Yunfei.

"Seven-Star Alignment!"

With a loud shout, Hua Yunfei used his body as a bow and borrowed the projected power of the Big Dipper, arranging its seven stars in a line. The Seven-Star Alignment became an arrow of stars containing destructive power that distorted space and time, shooting toward Jiang Ming.

Jiang Ming quickly withdrew his hand and used it as a shield, grabbing the stellar arrow formed by the Seven-Star Alignment and refining it into nothingness.

"Nine-Star Alignment, Star Spear!"

Hua Yunfei gave a soft cry. His black hair whipped wildly, while his gaze shone as brilliantly as the great sun. He took the initiative to attack, as if he had transformed into a celestial lord descending to the mortal realm to subdue demons and vanquish evil.

As he pointed a finger, two stars that were often overlooked appeared beside the Big Dipper: the Left Assistant Star and the Right Support Star.

Ancient records stated that the Big Dipper had nine stars. Beyond the seven stars of the Big Dipper, there were also the Left Assistant and Right Support Stars, thus making up the nine stars of the Big Dipper. In ancient times, the nine-star Big Dipper was considered the complete Big Dipper system, while the seven-star version was thought incomplete. Legend had it that the Left Assistant and Right Support Stars were located at the handle of the ladle. If one could see them, one could supposedly gain longevity.

Nine stars emerged, casting nine stellar phantoms. As Hua Yunfei's hands moved, they transformed into a spear that pierced through heaven and earth. It descended in a straight line, emanating terrifying pressure like the judgment of the Great Dao. It contained the traces of the Dao and a soul-shaking offensive force.

Impressive!

Jiang Ming had to admit that Hua Yunfei had developed Star Peak's inheritance to the utmost limit. No wonder he had been called the foremost of Star Peak's younger generation at the age of twelve, Star Peak's senior disciple, and Taixuan Sect's future sect master.

But it didn't matter!

Still Demonic Domain in the Palm!

The black demonic hand covered the heavens. With one slap, it shattered the Star Spear into dust!

Ten Directions Annihilation!

Hua Yunfei rapidly formed hand seals. Projections of stars above his head were summoned one after another and quickly arranged themselves as though deploying troops into formation. The boundless starfield transformed into a stellar Dao diagram, with one great star after another lighting up. In the end, they formed a massive cross. This method of attack reminded Jiang Ming of the master of the Demon Refining Pot in the Perfect World novel. His attacks had also taken the form of a cross. At that moment, Hua Yunfei directly drew upon the power of thirty-six stars. The great stars intersected and suppressed Jiang Ming once more.

At the same time!

Ji Haoyue's attack began anew as well. With a lift of his hand, a black heavenly stele condensed in his palm. It was the Void Sky Stele, a forbidden secret technique of the Void Emperor, who was known as the man who would fight for his life. It was also Ji Haoyue's favorite secret technique, now manifested by him.

As the Void Great Emperor's inheritor, a man determined to become invincible in the Eastern Wasteland, how could he lose to a bald man from the Western Desert while joining forces with another?

Space froze, and all techniques could be suppressed. The Void Sky Stele condensed, transforming into an ancient continent that pressed down upon Jiang Ming.

Ten Directions Annihilation carried the boundless power of stars. Its intersecting cross seemed to transform into ten stellar domains, intending to suppress Jiang Ming.

"Amitabha Buddha!"

Buzz!

The black demonic markings on Jiang Ming's brow gleamed faintly as he pushed them to their limit. The black demonic wheel behind his head flared with demonic light, expanding to cover a range of thirty miles.

With one hand pointing at heaven and the other at earth, his body instantly transformed into a Sixteen-Foot Demonic Body. Then, he swiftly unleashed two palm strikes.

"Boom!"

At that instant, even the void within the secret realm's small world was torn apart. The black demonic palms flowed with an indestructible will of heaven and earth, as though the Great Dao itself had descended. The cross formed by the ten stellar domains instantly shattered into pieces, while the Void Sky Stele was sent flying back without being broken apart.

A trace of blood finally seeped from Hua Yunfei's lips. He was definitely pretending to be weak. In this collision, he had clearly been at a disadvantage, and he did not dare use the Ruthless Emperor's techniques he possessed. Still, the clash should not have been enough to injure him.

Ji Haoyue, meanwhile, had not been injured thanks to his Divine Body and the Void Scripture. He still had the strength to continue fighting.

"Amitabha Buddha, this poor monk has expended too much strength and can fight no longer. I ask the two fellow Daoists to be understanding."

At that moment, Jiang Ming deliberately threw his aura into disorder and coughed several times, giving the two of them a way out.

They could not keep fighting. What, was he supposed to kill both of them if they continued?

If they kept going, even the spectators would grow tired of watching.

At the crucial moment just now, Jiang Ming had relied on his clever brain, peerless talent, and wisdom to once again borrow the Ancient Monk Lineage's secret technique mastered by the young ancient monk, the Sixteen-Foot Golden Body, and put on a perfect show.

"That was the Sixteen-Foot Golden Body."

"That's right. It's one of the Western Desert's supreme inherited secret techniques. No one but a Buddhist Son can cultivate it."

"Unbelievable. This Dharma Master Sanzang from the Western Desert must have an extraordinary background."

Only now did the old men and old women watching the battle begin discussing among themselves.

The three young geniuses all possessed heaven-shaking power and formidable secret techniques. Their futures were limitless.

Except for the honest student Ji Haoyue.

Both Jiang Ming and Hua Yunfei were acting.

The only difference was that Jiang Ming was simply being himself, while Hua Yunfei was performing at the level of a top Hengdian actor.

"Since that is the case, Brother Haoyue, Brother Sanzang, let today's contest end here. As it happens, my divine soul has also suffered some shock."

Hua Yunfei immediately said.

"I have no problem with that. Today's battle was exhilarating.

"When there is a chance, I would like to fight Brother Sanzang alone. What do you think?"

Ji Haoyue cut a heroic figure. Blunt as ever, he looked at Jiang Ming with fiery eyes.

"Let everything follow fate. As the Buddha says, it cannot be spoken of, it cannot be spoken of."

Jiang Ming hurriedly pushed everything onto Amitabha Buddha as he spoke.

Honest man, why fight? If they kept fighting, they would have to decide both life and death, and victory and defeat.
