The Undying Heavenly Emperor became an eternal blazing sun, hanging above the heavens and shining upon all living things. He plundered vast power of faith, burning it fiercely to hasten his ascension.
As the first "immortal" to appear before the world since the Mythological Era, he naturally received immense power of faith.
"Azure Emperor!"
"You cannot hurt me!" The Fallen Blood Phoenix watched the approaching Azure Emperor with perfect composure, concentrating entirely on maintaining his ascension. Crossing the divide between mortal and immortal was no one-click upgrade.
It was a leap in the origin of life, a sublimation of cultivation, and required a certain amount of time.
Had Wushi come bearing his bell, he would have yielded somewhat to avoid disrupting his ascension.
But the Azure Emperor? A Human Dao Heavenly Emperor who had transformed through two lives? There was absolutely no need to evade him! The Fallen Blood Phoenix simply planted his hands on his hips and stood tall before the Azure Emperor, letting him strike.
With a treasured body approaching that of an Immortal King, the Fallen Blood Phoenix felt certain that even a complete sequence of the Demon Emperor's Nine Slashes would leave him entirely unscathed.
Or rather, any damage would come slower than his health could recover.
Seeing this, the Azure Emperor instantly understood the Undying Heavenly Emperor's intentions.
A smile touched his lips. You asked for this.
Boom!
A fist pierced heaven and earth, shattering the blood phoenix treasured body as well. Clarity returned to the Fallen Blood Phoenix's eyes as he went from phoenix to tiger.
A white tiger, Mou Baiwan.
Watching this, Qin Tian's eyes brimmed with envy. "I want to show off too! I want to display my might before everyone!"
"But... for the bigger picture!" Qin Tian consoled himself inwardly.
