What Is Your Relationship with Lord Saint Demon?

As they were returning toward the edge of the Battlefield of the Gods, they passed through a certain place when the Dragon Horn Golden Ox suddenly sniffed at the surrounding space and said in surprise, "What pure Phoenix Flame!"

Though it was invisible to the naked eye, it still sensed the pure Phoenix Flame permeating the void.

"Undying Golden Phoenix?!" the Dragon Horn Golden Ox said uncertainly.

"Yes, it is the flame of an Undying Golden Phoenix," Lu Yiping said.

"So there's an Undying Golden Phoenix nearby!" The Dragon Horn Golden Ox was delighted.

An Undying Golden Phoenix was an existence on par with a Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon.

Lu Yiping swept his gaze around, then brought the Dragon Horn Golden Ox and the others to a point in the high sky ahead and stopped.

Understanding his intent, Zhang Jin threw a punch.

At once, space trembled, and an entrance to an Otherspace appeared.

The moment they entered the space, astonishing flames rushed toward them.

Looking ahead, they saw faint golden flames spreading everywhere throughout the space.

"It really is Undying Golden Flame!" said the Dragon Horn Golden Ox.

Undying Golden Flame was a kind of phoenix flame, and also one of the strongest flames between heaven and earth.

Though the Undying Golden Flame filling this space appeared faint, even a Great Emperor would not dare approach or touch it.

Zhang Jin, Zhao Wen, and the other two opened the way ahead. Their divine power surged forth, forcing the Undying Golden Flame aside.

Before long.

They saw a towering giant tree.

A divine tree wreathed entirely in flames.

Mountains encircled the divine tree, and the flames of the tree had dyed all the surrounding peaks a blazing red.

"What a thing!"

"A Phoenix Divine Tree!"

The Dragon Horn Golden Ox exclaimed in amazement.

Like primordial beasts, divine trees also had rare variants born of heaven and earth.

And the Phoenix Divine Tree was undoubtedly the most powerful among divine trees.

The Phoenix Divine Tree was born with Phoenix Flame and was known as the ancestral tree of the phoenix race. Legend had it that the first phoenix in heaven and earth had been born from within a Phoenix Divine Tree.

The Phoenix Divine Tree was even rarer than an Undying Golden Phoenix.

Just as the Dragon Horn Golden Ox marveled, a phoenix cry suddenly rang out, resounding through heaven and earth.

Then they saw a phoenix covered in golden flames rise from the Phoenix Divine Tree, its body blotting out the sky.

As the Golden Flame Phoenix spread its wings, each wing was as large as a mountain.

"True God Late Stage Peak?" The Dragon Horn Golden Ox was taken aback.

Lu Yiping was also surprised.

Among the ten strongest experts in the Hengyuan Plane today, some had only reached True God Late Stage Peak.

Yet within this Battlefield of the Gods, there was actually an Undying Golden Phoenix at True God Late Stage Peak hiding here.

At that moment, the Undying Golden Phoenix opened its mouth, and endless Undying Golden Flame poured down from the sky like a torrential rain.

Watching the Undying Golden Flame cascade down from the heavens, Zhang Jin, Zhao Wen, Wei Bing, and Chen Yongyuan flew up and simultaneously threw out both fists.

Four True Gods attacked at once.

It was like gigantic thunder exploding.

The Undying Golden Flame filling the sky was blasted apart one after another.

Though the Undying Golden Phoenix was at True God Late Stage Peak, Zhang Jin, Zhao Wen, and the other two barely managed to block its fierce strike through their combined strength.

"Hm!"

The Undying Golden Phoenix cried out in surprise.

"Four True Gods?!"

At that moment, Zhang Jin, Zhao Wen, and the other two rose through the air again. Each took a position, then attacked once more. Behind each of them, a gigantic elephant condensed.

These gigantic elephants differed from ordinary divine elephants. Their feet resembled pillars holding up the heavens, and their entire bodies radiated dark light.

"Heavenly Elephant Divine Prison Fist!" Seeing the giant elephants behind them, the Undying Golden Phoenix's expression changed drastically. It cried out, "Who are you? What is your relationship with Lord Saint Demon?!"

No wonder its expression changed so greatly, for the origins of the Heavenly Elephant Divine Prison Fist were simply too terrifying.

Back then, a supreme existence had relied on the Heavenly Elephant Divine Prison Fist to sweep across the Hengyuan Plane, remaining invincible for three whole eras! He had suppressed the plane for three eras!

During those three eras, no matter how monstrous an existence one was, no matter how powerful one was, all would pale into insignificance before that supreme existence.

The world revered that supreme existence as Saint Demon!

A saint among demons!

A demon among saints!

Naturally, Lu Yiping had taught the Heavenly Elephant Divine Prison Fist to the four of them.

Of course, that supreme existence revered by the world as Saint Demon had also stayed within the Sacred Forest back then, and Lu Yiping had taught him the Heavenly Elephant Divine Prison Fist as well.

Sword God Yang Dong was not qualified to become Lu Yiping's nominal disciple, but Saint Demon could be considered one of Lu Yiping's nominal disciples.

Zhang Jin, Zhao Wen, and the other two ignored the Undying Golden Phoenix's shock and continued attacking. Four mountain-sized fist imprints tore through the air.

All four fist imprints radiated astonishing dark light and flames.

Seeing the Heavenly Elephant Divine Prison Fists crashing toward it, the Undying Golden Phoenix was alarmed. It spread its sky-covering wings, and layers upon layers of phoenix power burst forth, forming a golden phoenix barrier.

The four Heavenly Elephant Divine Prison Fist imprints slammed into the phoenix barrier.

The phoenix barrier exploded apart.

The Undying Golden Phoenix was sent staggering backward.

Zhang Jin, Zhao Wen, and the other two were already no weaker than the Undying Golden Phoenix when they joined forces. Now that they had simultaneously unleashed the Heavenly Elephant Divine Prison Fist, their combat strength soared again. Caught off guard, how could the Undying Golden Phoenix withstand it? Its divine essence immediately churned violently within its body.

Wei Bing and Chen Yongyuan had yet to form Divine Sparks. Otherwise, with the four of them joining forces to use the Heavenly Elephant Divine Prison Fist just now, the Undying Golden Phoenix would not merely have been forced back.

After being sent flying back, the Undying Golden Phoenix was not far from the Dragon Horn Golden Ox and Lu Yiping. Seeing the two watching the battle from the side, it could not help but rage. With a sweep of its wings, a ten-thousand-zhang golden blade aura slashed toward the War Chariot.

The Dragon Horn Golden Ox grinned. Raising one of its legs, it likewise unleashed a Heavenly Elephant Divine Prison Fist.

A Heavenly Elephant Divine Prison Fist imprint even larger than the combined imprints of Zhang Jin, Zhao Wen, and the other two shot through the air.

At once, the Undying Golden Phoenix was hurled away and crashed onto a mountain peak amid the endless mountain range.

Mountains collapsed and the earth split apart.

Only after a long while did the Undying Golden Phoenix barely rise to its feet. The golden feathers covering its body had become dull and lusterless, and feathers as large as trees littered the ground.

"What is your relationship with Lord Saint Demon!" The Undying Golden Phoenix spat blood, its voice hoarse as it looked at the Dragon Horn Golden Ox with terror filling its eyes.

The Dragon Horn Golden Ox grinned. "You mean that kid Saint Demon? That kid can barely be considered my master's nominal disciple."

"Your master's nominal disciple!" The Undying Golden Phoenix's eyes widened to their limits, then it looked toward the blue-robed youth seated atop the War Chariot.

This young man?

There were countless legends about Saint Demon in the Hengyuan Plane, but who Saint Demon's master was had always been a mystery. Yet now, this ox was saying that the blue-robed youth before it was his master?

And Saint Demon was merely his nominal disciple?

It was filled with doubt and shock.

It was simply too hard to believe.

At that moment, it saw Lu Yiping raise one hand casually. The Phoenix Divine Tree, which had been rooted in the earth for who knew how many years and fused as one with the entire space, rumbled as it shook away the surrounding towering peaks and slowly rose into the air.

It could not move this Phoenix Divine Tree in the slightest, yet now, it was directly flying up!
