What's Your Relationship with Lord Saint Demon?

As they headed back toward the edge of the Battlefield of the Gods, passing a certain area, the Dragon Horn Golden Ox suddenly sniffed the surrounding space and exclaimed in surprise, "Such pure phoenix fire!"

Though invisible to the naked eye, it could still sense the pure phoenix fire permeating the void.

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

"Mm, it's 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 on par with a Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon.

Lu Yiping swept his gaze around, then led the Dragon Horn Golden Ox and the others to a certain spot in the high sky ahead, where they stopped.

Zhang Jin understood the intent and punched out.

Instantly, space trembled, and an entrance to an Otherspace appeared.

No sooner had they entered the space than astonishing flames rushed toward them.

Looking ahead, they saw faint golden fire spreading everywhere through the space before them.

"Sure enough, it's the Undying Golden Flame!" said the Dragon Horn Golden Ox.

The Undying Golden Flame was a type of phoenix fire and also the strongest flame in heaven and earth.

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

Zhang Jin, Zhao Wen, and the other four took the lead, their divine power propping up to ward off the Undying Golden Flame.

Before long.

They spotted a towering giant tree.

A divine tree ablaze with flames.

The divine tree was surrounded by mountains, and the peaks all around were lit up in a fiery red by its blaze.

"What a specimen!"

"A Phoenix Divine Tree!"

The Dragon Horn Golden Ox marveled.

Divine trees, like ancient exotic beasts, also had their own heavenly anomalies.

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

The Phoenix Divine Tree, born with the Phoenix Flame, was known as the ancestral tree of the phoenix clan. Legend had it that the very first phoenix in heaven and earth was born from the Phoenix Divine Tree.

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

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

Then, they saw a sky-covering phoenix, its entire body wreathed in golden flames, rise from the Phoenix Divine Tree.

The Golden Flame Phoenix spread its wings, and each wing alone was as vast as a great mountain.

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

Lu Yiping was also surprised.

Even some of the current top ten experts of the Hengyuan Plane were only at True God Late Stage Peak.

And here, hidden within the Battlefield of the Gods, was an Undying Golden Phoenix at True God Late Stage Peak.

At that moment, the Undying Golden Phoenix opened its mouth, and a torrent of Undying Golden Flame poured down from the high sky like a rainstorm.

Watching the Undying Golden Flame cascade down, Zhang Jin, Zhao Wen, Wei Bing, and Chen Yongyuan soared up, all punching out simultaneously.

Four True Gods struck at once.

Like a thunderclap splitting the sky.

The endless Undying Golden Flame was scattered in all directions.

Though the Undying Golden Phoenix was at True God Late Stage Peak, the combined force of Zhang Jin, Zhao Wen, and the other four barely managed to block its overwhelming strike.

"Oh!"

The Undying Golden Phoenix exclaimed in surprise.

"Four True Gods?!"

At that moment, Zhang Jin, Zhao Wen, and the other four shot into the air again, each taking a position, and struck once more. Behind each of them, a giant elephant coalesced.

This elephant was different from ordinary divine elephants; its legs were like pillars holding up the sky, and its entire body radiated a dark light.

"Heavenly Elephant Divine Prison Fist!" The Undying Golden Phoenix's expression shifted as it stared at the giant elephants behind the four, and it cried out in shock, "Who are you? What relation do you have to Saint Demon?!"

No wonder its expression changed—the origin of the Heavenly Elephant Divine Prison Fist was utterly terrifying.

In ages past, a supreme being had relied on this Heavenly Elephant Divine Prison Fist to sweep across the Hengyuan Plane, remaining undefeated for three full eras! Suppressing all for three eras!

Throughout those three eras, no matter what monstrous prodigy appeared, no matter how formidable an existence, all paled before that supreme being.

That supreme being was honored by the world as Saint Demon!

The saint among demons!

Saint among demons!

This Heavenly Elephant Divine Prison Fist was naturally taught to the four by Lu Yiping.

Of course, the supreme existence revered by the world as the Saint Demon had also once stayed in the Sacred Forest back then, and his Heavenly Elephant Divine Prison Fist was likewise imparted by Lu Yiping.

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

Zhang Jin, Zhao Wen, and the other two paid no heed to the Undying Golden Phoenix's shock, their attacks unceasing as four fist seals, each as massive as a mountain, tore through the air.

All four fist seals radiated astonishing dark flames.

Watching the Heavenly Elephant Divine Prison Fist descend with overwhelming force, the Undying Golden Phoenix was startled. It spread its sky-covering wings wide, and layers of phoenix power burst forth, forming a golden phoenix barrier.

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

The phoenix barrier shattered with a thunderous roar.

The Undying Golden Phoenix was sent stumbling backward repeatedly.

Zhang Jin, Zhao Wen, and the other two, fighting together, were already not weaker than the Undying Golden Phoenix in combat power. Now, unleashing the Heavenly Elephant Divine Prison Fist in unison, their strength soared further. Caught off guard, the Undying Golden Phoenix could not withstand it, and its divine essence churned violently within.

If Wei Bing and Chen Yongyuan had possessed Divine Sparks, the combined Heavenly Elephant Divine Prison Fist from the four would have done far more than just knock the Undying Golden Phoenix back.

The Undying Golden Phoenix was forced back, landing not far from the Dragon Horn Golden Ox and Lu Yiping. Seeing them watching from the sidelines, it grew furious. With a flap of its wings, a ten-thousand-zhang golden blade qi slashed toward the War Chariot.

The Dragon Horn Golden Ox chuckled, raised its leg, and threw out a Heavenly Elephant Divine Prison Fist of its own.

A fist seal, even larger than those of Zhang Jin, Zhao Wen, and the other four combined, tore through the air.

In an instant, the Undying Golden Phoenix was sent flying, crashing into a mountain peak in the endless range.

Mountains crumbled, earth split apart.

After a long while, the Undying Golden Phoenix barely managed to stand. Its golden feathers had lost all luster, and feathers as large as trees lay scattered across the ground.

"What is your relationship with Lord Saint Demon!" the Undying Golden Phoenix spat blood, its voice hoarse, staring at the Dragon Horn Golden Ox in utter terror.

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

"Your master... nominal disciple!" The Undying Golden Phoenix's eyes widened to their limit, then it turned to look at the Blue-robed Youth seated on the War Chariot.

This young man?

The Hengyuan Plane was filled with countless legends about the Saint Demon, but who the Saint Demon's master was had always remained a mystery. Now, this ox was claiming that the Blue-robed Youth before them was that master?

And the Saint Demon was merely his nominal disciple?

It was stunned and doubtful.

This was truly hard to believe.

Then, it saw Lu Yiping raise a hand, casually lifting it upward. The Phoenix Divine Tree, rooted in the earth for countless years and fused with the very space around it, rumbled loudly, shaking the surrounding giant peaks as it slowly rose into the air.

This Phoenix Divine Tree—it could not budge it in the slightest—yet now, it was flying straight up!
