Beneath the raging black sea of fire, it was as magnificent as the end of the world. This was the true power of the Death Flame Phoenix. If it hadn't been suppressed by Xue Qinghe, it would have been able to unleash such an attack long ago.
When the flames died down, nothing was left on the open ground, leading some to wonder if Qian Xunji and Xue Qinghe had been burned to ashes by the Death Flame flames.
But Qi Ling knew that these two people wouldn't die so easily. If people like them died so easily, it would save her a lot of trouble.
Sure enough, a spatial rift appeared in the open space, and Qian Xunji and Xue Qinghe reappeared there! After using the spatial rift to dodge the attack of the Death Flame Phoenix Death Flame Phoenix, the two launched a fierce counterattack against it.
Such heaven-defying abilities as resurrection are not without limitations and cannot be used indefinitely. In fact, the Death Flame Phoenix can no longer revive, which means that they only need to kill it once more to achieve victory.
This time, the two of them had no choice but to fight it head-on, even at the cost of the damage they would suffer. The battle had taken a heavy toll on them, and continuing to drag it out would be disadvantageous for them.
In the end, Qian Xunji and Xue Qinghe still won, but it was a rather humiliating victory! Not only were they both injured, but the excruciating Death Flame also caused them indelible damage.
Especially in the final scene where Qian Xunji wielded the Fallen Demonic Spear and faced off against the Death Flame Phoenix head-on, if he hadn't struck the Death Flame Phoenix first and used his special power to strip it of its will, the outcome would have been uncertain.
"Wow, Mr. Qi Ling, these monsters are so powerful! Are you confident you can defeat them?" Kurumi asked Qi Ling with a smile.
Qi Ling said helplessly, "Really, don't act like it has nothing to do with you. You have to do your part too!"
"Huh? So what level of magical beast are you planning to challenge?" Kurumi said. "Although I can see that you are stronger than them, this level of magical beast is already at the True God level. If you want to challenge something higher, you'd better be prepared."
"Don't worry, I never do anything I'm not sure I can handle," Qi Ling said. " Xiluo, I'm ready. Shall we begin our challenge?"
"Oh? Of course you can. Qi Ling, what kind of opponent would you like to choose?" Xiluo asked.
"I choose... a level 20 Devil Realm beast from the Demon Realm!" Qi Ling said confidently.
When Qi Ling said this, everyone was shocked, wondering if Qi Ling had misspoke and made a mistake in her choice.
" Qi Ling, think it over carefully. Why don't you reconsider your choice?" Xiluo couldn't help but say. "You should have understood what I just said, right? Every ten levels a monster gains brings a complete change; its strength will increase dramatically!"
"A level 20 magical beast? That requires at least the strength of Two-Ring True God to deal with! Are you really that confident in your abilities?"
Qi Ling smiled nonchalantly, "Since we're facing an unknown creature, we naturally have to challenge our limits. And don't worry, Xiluo, I can handle it."
Having just escaped death, Qian Xunji saw that the monster Qi Ling was challenging was ten levels higher in difficulty than himself. His face darkened, and he said viciously, "Damn it, this guy is far too arrogant! How dare he challenge such a being? He'll just have to face his defeat!"
After confirming several times, Xiluo said helplessly, "Alright, Qi Ling, since that's the case, I can only respect your choice. Then please face the level 20 Devil Realm beast from the Demon Realm, the king of the Death Swamp, the Abyssal Crocodile King!"
As Xiluo explained, the arena gates opened again, and a gigantic crocodile slowly crawled out, its emotionless eyes surveying its surroundings, seemingly calculating who its enemy was and how to kill it.
The Abyssal Crocodile King's shock to everyone was naturally even greater than that of the Death Flame Phoenix. The heavy and suffocating feeling made people aware of its terror even before the battle began.
Cold sweat beaded on Qian Xunji's forehead. He still had the courage to fight the Death Flame Phoenix, but now, facing the overwhelming pressure of the Abyssal Crocodile King, he simply couldn't muster the courage to fight it. Even just standing in front of it required immense courage.
As Qi Ling and Kurumi entered the battlefield, Qi Ling felt the immense pressure most directly. At the same time, since the Abyssal Crocodile King already knew who its enemy was, it released all its killing intent onto Qi Ling, trying to break Qi Ling down before the battle even began.
Kurumi looked at the Abyssal Crocodile King and couldn't help but say to Qi Ling, "A magical beast of this level... my attacks probably can't even break through its defenses. How am I supposed to fight it? Qi Ling, isn't your decision a bit too hasty?"
" Kurumi, I remember you said that one of your abilities is to help others heal, right?" Qi Ling said at this moment, "And it should be a complete, all-around healing, am I right?"
"Yes, that's right. To be precise, this isn't treatment, it's time reversal!" Kurumi said. "In other words, I can take you back to how you were a while ago, but only if you're still alive!"
"Moreover, this method will place an extremely heavy burden on your body and may even cause abnormal reactions! And it can only be used once within a certain period! What are you planning to do?"
"Nothing much, it's just that it's rare to encounter such an opponent, so naturally I want to give it a good sparring match!" Qi Ling laughed. "However, perhaps I won't be able to defeat it in one go! In that case, I'll leave it to you!"
With that, Qi Ling summoned his Dragon God Armor and Demon God Halberd. After getting ready, he charged towards the Abyssal Crocodile King, wielding the Demon God Halberd directly at its body.
However, the Abyssal Crocodile King seemed disdainful in the face of Qi Ling's powerful attack. It didn't even try to dodge, and simply used its body to meet Qi Ling's attack.
As expected, Qi Ling's attack struck the Abyssal Crocodile King, but instead of causing any damage, it made her hand feel weak. This guy's defensive capabilities were truly terrifying.
