"Turn intangible admiration and reverence... into tangible substance..."
Divine Lord Lihuo murmured those words inside the Porcelain Bottle, his entire body trembling uncontrollably!
If the phenomena gathering from across the sky were the admiration and reverence described in the ancient texts...
Didn't that mean all the reverence of the countless top factions of the Star Sea, whom Divine Lord Lihuo had sent countless invitations and even built up advance publicity to summon, was now focused on that white-robed fiend?!
What kind of joke was this!!!
The spectacular stage he had painstakingly built to draw the world's attention, the tens of millions of elite spectators he had gone to such lengths to gather.
They had all been scared out of their wits by that earth-shattering battle!!
And this Divine Phoenix, born with mastery over the seven emotions, might not be entirely ignorant of the changes outside, even though it had only just hatched...
"No... no!!!"
Divine Lord Lihuo's spirits plummeted from heaven into hell, his despair deepening!
He watched the phoenix silhouette within the pillar of light grow ever more animated.
Divine Lord Lihuo could no longer keep his composure!
Having finally realized exactly what was wrong, he immediately began burning his True Spirit, frantically rousing the Wutong Divine Tree that Ye Li had cleaved until its radiance faded!
"Wake up! Wake up for me!!!"
Boom!
Under Divine Lord Lihuo's desperate urging, the ruined Wutong Divine Tree seemed to muster a final burst of life, its trunk suddenly erupting with dazzling golden light!
Although the power of that golden light fell far short of the nine-colored radiance soaring into the heavens.
It was still far beyond anything an ordinary Transcendence cultivator could produce!
A phoenix would perch on no tree but a wutong-this was a fundamental law of heaven and earth!
