The battle is still ongoing.
Chen Yun manifests a golden demon god form and immediately seizes the Phoenix offspring. Purple and gold flames erupt from his body and spread along his arm, igniting the Phoenix offspring's entire body!
Hura!
Terrifying flames suddenly surged upwards!
A massive, over a thousand zhang in diameter, purple and gold fireball suddenly ignited into existence, enveloping the Phoenix offspring completely.
When manifesting the golden demon god form, Chen Yun's strength has reached an equivalent level to the mid-stage of the Earthly Realm.
In reality, he is still a notch below the Phoenix offspring, who is on the brink of reaching the late stage of the Earthly Realm.
The reason he was able to suppress the weaker and seize the Phoenix offspring with one sweep was entirely due to the tremendous impact of his manifestation of the golden demon god form. Coupled with the awe-inspiring authority of the Tao, it caused confusion in the Phoenix offspring. They charged at him with their fleshly bodies, giving Chen Yun the opportunity to catch them off guard. As he was sent flying, he stretched out his arm, mobilizing the power of Tao Qi, and captured them in his palm.
If the Phoenix offspring had not lost their composure, Chen Yun would not have been able to capture them so easily.
This is what's known as battle experience!
Chen Yun, since his first departure from the Propagation of Tao Temple into the mortal world to accumulate meritorious deeds, has experienced countless battles large and small. His battle experience is naturally unparalleled, far beyond what the Phoenix offspring, who has been growing up in the Sun and Moon Spring cave heaven, can compare to.
Therefore, he was able to seize this tiny opportunity, allowing him to gain the upper hand.
Taking the upper hand is one thing.
Whether or not he can completely annihilate the Phoenix offspring is another matter entirely.
Chen Yun dares not waste this opportunity that has been hard-won.
He gathered purplish-golden flames all over the Phoenix offspring's body and exploded, while his other hand, holding the Seven-Treasure Wondrous Tree once again, raised it up with the strength of the Tao form. He brushed out a beam of light that was only as thick as a thumb and mingled with thousands of tiny lotus flowers.
He intends to take this opportunity to kill the Phoenix offspring in one fell swoop!
The lotus beam, its power concentrated into a single point, struck the huge fireball at once!
Swoosh!
The beam cut through the flames!
A fiery, blood-red liquid spurted and shot out!
The Phoenix offspring's screams grew more intense, as if they had sustained a severe injury.
However, Chen Yun's expression suddenly changed drastically, and he hurriedly released the hand that was holding the Phoenix offspring.
As expected, the Phoenix offspring, who was bleeding profusely all over, went into a rampage and unleashed torrential Phoenix flames from its body. It transformed into eight colossal dragons with a length of over ten thousand zhang, rushing towards Chen Yun and Yan Feng to kill them.
The attack of these eight ten-thousand-zhang fire dragons was extraordinary. It was not a brute-force charge but rather an encircling assault from all directions, resembling immense nooses that sought to utterly strangle Chen Yun and Yan Feng within the boundless flames!
Chen Yun was about to unleash another powerful attack.
Suddenly, Yan Feng roared loudly from behind, and a massive force surged up.
Following this, a column of clear light shot up into the sky, standing in the void.
"Sword Intent. Annihilation Style!"
Yan Feng's cold voice rang out.
A terrifying sense of killing intent spread, almost enveloping the entire void.
In the next second, the massive column of clear light resembled the collapse of Buzhou Mountain, roaring "boom" as it swept across in all directions!
Heaven collapsed and the earth split, the sun and moon lost their brightness.
The eight dragon ropes formed by the fire dragons were swept away by the clear light sword qi!
After obliterating the eight fire dragons, the power of the clear light sword qi remained undiminished and continued to sweep over the Phoenix offspring.
Chen Yun was rather surprised and turned his head to look at Yan Feng, who had his hair standing on end.
He never expected that with Yan Feng using the secret technique, his strength had indeed advanced to the early stage of the Earthly Realm. Yet, he could unleash a power equivalent to that of a full-blown mid-stage attack in the Earthly Realm!
He immediately realized that Yan Feng's divine sword must be an extremely powerful super treasure.
Otherwise, it would not be possible for his strength to be at the early stage of the Earthly Realm and yet unleash such terrifying destructive power.
The clear light sword qi, resembling a column of light, was continuously pulsating and sweeping across the void.
Wherever it passed, space itself was shattered layer by layer.
The overwhelming power was fully displayed.
If it was merely this, it wouldn't be enough to shock Chen Yun so deeply.
It was not just the power that impressed him. He felt a great resistive force in the world as the clear light sword qi swept through.
The void here has indeed been sealed by an endless and boundless sword intent spirit.
The sky and earth around were misty, and the firelight was nowhere to be seen as if it had been swept away and extinguished.
Chen Yun finally understood why Yan Feng, being only at the late stage of the Human Realm, dared to provoke a super spirit beast of the Earthly Realm.
It seems that his sword intent spirit has been condensed into a tangible form. In addition to the secret technique and the enhancement of the divine sword, the strength he has unleashed is simply too terrifying.
The Phoenix offspring was continuously dodging the clear light sword qi.
Although it is a spirit beast, it is not without intelligence.
It is naturally able to sense the terrifying nature of this power.
Yan Feng's entire body was surging with divine qi, which seemed to overflow from his body. He appeared to have transformed into a ball of divine qi.
His voice also became extremely cold, "Sword Intent. Annihilation Style, has been the result of my cultivation for over a thousand years. I have integrated the sword intent and made it into a powerful technique. You, this beast, how can you possibly evade my terrible sword intent? If you had the strength of a spirit beast in the late stage of the Earthly Realm, perhaps you could shatter my sword intent with your powerful force. However, alas, your strength is only in the mid-stage of the Earthly Realm. You are no match for me!"
Yan Feng's words poured out in a rapid stream, and the clear light sword qi continued to compress the space where the Phoenix offspring was fleeing.
The boundless sword intent surged from all sides.
As the clear light sword qi swept across, countless smaller sword intents also sprouted out from it, forming into tiny flowers no larger than thumb nails.
These flowers constantly rotated, emitting a fierce killing intent and a howling sound that pierced through the void. They attacked the Phoenix offspring from all directions, encircling them from the eight directions and six heavens.
At this moment, Chen Yun finally understood what Yan Feng meant when he said that the "Sword Intent. Annihilation Style" was like a grand formation.
It seems that what Yan Feng was performing wasn't just a sword technique, but a "Sword Array!"
This is a sword art that integrates extremely profound "array techniques." Even as the Phoenix offspring's strength approached that of a late-stage Earthly Realm, it was still powerless against this sword art, where the sword intent has been condensed into a tangible form. The Phoenix offspring could only be compressed into an extremely small range by the countless, uncountable sword qi flowers.
It seemed as if the next moment, the Phoenix offspring would be struck by the endless sea of sword qi flowers, and it would be swept away and obliterated by the clear light sword qi that was like a gamma ray!
Chen Yun knew that this was a critical moment, and he couldn't afford to falter.
He didn't hesitate to stir the Dao qi within his body, causing the flames to surge even more violently.
Tides of flames erupted from his body, converging into the arm that held the Seven-Treasure Wondrous Tree.
The Seven-Treasure Wondrous Tree suddenly flashed with brilliant colors.
Chen Yun lifted the Seven-Treasure Wondrous Tree, as if it had traversed thousands of miles of distance, bringing its actual body down to the head of the Phoenix offspring, and then savagely hammered it down.
Yan Feng was very cooperative with Chen Yun, abruptly gathering the sword qi flowers and the clear light sword qi together.
Bang!
The sword qi flowers, clear light sword qi, and Seven-Treasure Wondrous Tree struck the Phoenix offspring almost simultaneously.
"Chiu!"
The Phoenix offspring let out a painful scream.
The next moment, the super spirit beast was engulfed in the terrifying burst of power!
Chen Yun succeeded with his strike and immediately retrieved the Seven-Treasure Wondrous Tree.
The sword qi flowers in front seemed like a fierce gale and continued to bombard the location of the Phoenix offspring.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
The resounding explosion echoed through the void.
The immense clear light sword qi was rolling like Sun Wukong's magical staff hitting the sea, constantly causing turmoil in the waters!
Chen Yun turned his head and looked at Yan Feng again, but couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Yan Feng's display of power this time was indeed formidable, even causing a bit of fear in Chen Yun.
Unfortunately, Chen Yun could see that Yan Feng had not yet reached the peak of his power manipulation.
Otherwise, such a large number of sword qi flowers and clear light sword qi would not have produced such a severe explosion.
This explosion seemed harmless, but in reality, it wasted a great deal of its own power.
Like Chen Yun's use of the Seven-Treasure Wondrous Tree to strike the Phoenix offspring from afar, across thousands upon thousands of miles.
This move may seem ordinary, but it collects all the power of his Dao body.
The power is fully concentrated, not wasting a single bit.
So to speak, although Chen Yun had only made one attack, in terms of effect, it was not much worse than Yan Feng's.
The terrifying explosion continued on.
The situation lasted for about one minute.
Finally, the power of the sword qi flowers and the clear light sword qi was completely exhausted.
Yan Feng standing nearby seemed to have exhausted all his strength, standing with one hand holding the sword, sweating profusely and panting heavily.
Chen Yun knew that Yan Feng had exhausted his strength, but his attention was not on Yan Feng but on the light dimming in the distance.
He immediately understood the situation.
The Phoenix offspring was now filled with thousands upon thousands of wounds, and blood was spurting out from its body. Its eyes had lost their luster, and its body swayed slightly before falling to the ground below.
With the combined efforts of Chen Yun and Yan Feng, they had finally inflicted a mortal wound on the super spirit beast of the Phoenix offspring!
Chen Yun couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. So far, despite having manifested a golden divine body, he had still not pulled out his true trump card.
Therefore, even if Long Zhan Tian suddenly launched a surprise attack at this moment, Chen Yun would not be afraid at all.
Instead, Yan Feng's frail voice came from behind, "Chen... True Master, I... I have exhausted my divine qi. I... I probably need three to five days of rest to recover fully. Let's take a few days off, and then... then I will join forces with you again to defeat the offspring of the phoenix..."
His words were not finished.
Chen Yun's gaze turned towards the west in the void, and he spoke softly, "It's too late."
Yan Feng seemed taken aback, "Too late? What do you mean?"
Chen Yun waved his hand, transferring Yan Feng outside of the void and still gazing towards the location in the west.
Suddenly, there was a burst of light over there.
Following the flash of light, a divine bird emerged, towering at the height of a person, with a shape resembling a chicken, its entire body fiery red, and each eye housing two eyes. It soared down in an attack as loud and melodious as a phoenix's call!
It was the offspring of the Chao Ming Bird!
Chen Yun hadn't expected that after he and Yan Feng teamed up and barely managed to defeat the offspring of the Phoenix, there would be no time for any respite before the offspring of the Chao Ming Bird arrived.
To be honest, although he hadn't exerted himself to the fullest just now, the continuous use of the 72 Skills of Earthly Demons, coupled with manifesting the golden divine body of the demon god, still cost quite a bit of energy.
This is thanks to his integration of the "Inner Dan Scripture of Master Chen" with the "Pangu True Body Scripture," greatly enhancing his self-healing capabilities.
Otherwise, just those few blows would have been enough to exhaust the divine qi of an average Early Earth Realm cultivator.
Even so, the remaining energy in his body is only at 50%.
If the offspring of the Chao Ming Bird's strength were comparable to that of the Phoenix offspring, five percent power should be sufficient.
The problem is that there's also a potentially even more terrifying Long Zhan Tian lurking nearby, eyeing them with suspicion.
Chen Yun's face was filled with alternating expressions, and he felt quite at a loss for a moment.
If he didn't pull out his trump card now, the remaining five percent of his strength, which was already barely enough to defeat the offspring of the Chao Ming Bird, would not give him a high chance of winning. Even if he used good tactics, ultimately defeating the offspring of the Chao Ming Bird, he would have no strength left to deal with Long Zhan Tian, the ruthless man!
"It seems I must pull out my trump card."
Chen Yun felt very helpless.
Originally, he wanted to keep his trump card hidden and wait until Long Zhan Tian made his move, delivering a fierce blow to the opponent.
Now, however, because the offspring of the Chao Ming Bird came to attack first, he had no choice but to use it prematurely.
Thinking of this, Chen Yun took a deep breath, watching the Chao Ming Bird offspring that was about to attack him, while his eyes flashed with an odd, dark red light.
The next second, a mysterious flow of air erupted from above Chen Yun's head.
This flow of air, upon appearing, instantly swelled and expanded, transforming into a jubilant cloud of a few mu in size. It contained thousands of golden flowers and ten thousand blue lotuses, with ornaments hanging from them like pearls, forming an endless stream.
Amongst the Jubilant Cloud, there was a small, vivid, and about three inches tall, divine spirit that looked like an infant.
The offspring of the Chao Ming Bird had just attacked in front of Chen Yun when the infant-like divine spirit seated in the Jubilant Cloud extended its finger.
A mysterious force erupted from the tip of its finger.
One by one, the golden flowers and the blue lotuses were activated, forming a force, and were violently pulled.
The offspring of the Chao Ming Bird came too quickly, and there was no time to dodge or avoid it.
It was instantly struck by that force, and its feathers scattered everywhere.
A wound several inches long appeared on its body, and blood was gushing out!
It was not over. After Chen Yun manifested the Celestial Cloud with his divine spirit, he released endless streams of multicolored lights.
These streams of multicolored lights shot out from all sides of the Celestial Cloud, rotating like laser beams that were as thick as bamboo strips.
Soar! Soar! Soar! Soar!
The piercing sound of breaking through the void resounded continuously.
The sweeping attack of the "laser" from the Celestial Cloud kept pounding on the Chao Ming Bird offspring that had just arrived and had not yet had time to unleash any power.
Every "laser" left deep, visible wounds on the Chao Ming Bird offspring.
As if, as long as the Celestial Cloud rotated to attack, the offspring of the Chao Ming Bird would die instantly!
