Chapter 570: The True Strength of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan! Retreat!

Just then, Gu He’s brow suddenly furrowed. His eyes shifted warily toward a section of distorted space near Phoenix.

That space warped and twisted—and in the next instant, two female figures descended from within it.

The two women looked nearly identical in appearance, both around the same age as Phoenix—roughly in their thirties. The only difference was their attire: one wore a crimson dress, the other a yellow gown.

What made Gu He frown wasn’t their appearance, but the aura radiating from their bodies.

Both of these beautiful women had reached the level of four-star Dou Saint. Compared to the Three Dragon Kings of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan, they were significantly more powerful.

“The Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan actually had two more hidden powerhouses like you?” Gu He stopped and spoke in mild astonishment.

As his words fell, the crimson-dressed woman smiled faintly and said,

“Oh? Judging from your tone, you seem to know quite a lot about our Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan.”

“I know a bit,” Gu He admitted honestly.

“I originally thought that apart from the Three Heavenly Phoenixes, only your clan leader, Huang Tian, stood at the peak. I never imagined your clan also had two hidden four-star Dou Saints.

With this kind of lineup, unless the ancient imperial clans return, your Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan is undoubtedly the hegemon of Central Plains. Even compared to the Hall of Souls with Hun Miesheng or the Pill Tower with its six-star Dou Saint ancestor, you’re still on another level.”

“Hehe… since you know this much, then there’s no reason to let you live.”

The yellow-robed woman let out a soft, charming laugh, but the killing intent in her voice was unmistakable.

Upon hearing this, Phoenix—the one who had clashed with Gu He earlier—showed a confident smile. Her eyes now looked at Gu He like he was already a dead man.

“Crimson Aunt, Gold Aunt, though this man is only at mid two-star Dou Saint level, he’s extremely troublesome. If you two hadn’t exited seclusion today, I might not have been able to stop him. But now that you're here, taking him down will be effortless.”

Phoenix respectfully addressed the two women.

“Mm. Phoenix, step aside. I’ll handle this.”

The crimson-robed woman nodded gently, then slowly raised her pale, slender hands from beneath her sleeves and suddenly clenched toward Gu He's direction.

With that motion, the space surrounding Gu He collapsed inch by inch. A violent surge of energy howled through the air toward him.

Boom! Boom!

Faced with this attack, Gu He couldn’t afford to be as nonchalant as before. His palms surged with energy as massive torrents of Dou Qi shot forth, crushing the incoming force wave one after another.

“Hmm?”

Seeing Gu He resist her attack, the crimson-robed woman raised an eyebrow in surprise.

That blow, though casually thrown, should’ve been enough to threaten a low-level four-star Dou Saint. Yet Gu He, only at mid two-star level, had managed to block it?

This was completely beyond her expectations.

Witnessing Gu He’s bizarre resilience, Phoenix stood by with wide eyes full of disbelief.

Meanwhile, the yellow-robed woman beside the crimson one wore a faintly amused smile. Then, she brought her hands together, forming a series of seals.

As her hand seals fell into place, a colossal golden demon phoenix, hundreds of meters tall, manifested in the sky above her.

Its massive blood-red eyes locked onto Gu He. With a thunderous cry, it flapped its immense wings and charged straight toward him with overwhelming force.

Sensing the immense energy contained in that towering golden demon phoenix, Gu He’s expression grew significantly more serious.

The yellow-robed woman’s strength was clearly greater than that of the crimson-robed one—faintly approaching the five-star Dou Saint threshold.

Her combat prowess was definitely among the highest within the four-star Dou Saint realm.

As soon as the yellow-robed woman unleashed the massive golden demon phoenix, Gu He knew he could no longer hold back.

With his current cultivation, it would be impossible to contend with a peak four-star Dou Saint without summoning his natal divine flame.

The moment the enormous golden phoenix charged toward him, a vast surge of purple flames erupted from Gu He’s body.

In an instant, it expanded into a purple sea of fire stretching over a thousand meters, completely blocking the phoenix’s path forward.

“Zzzz!!”

The golden phoenix dove straight into the purple sea of fire, and at once, that terrifying and intense flame began to howl and burn across its body.

“This is… a Heavenly Flame?!”

All three of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix women were stunned as they saw the flame Gu He had summoned.

“What kind of flame is that? I don’t think it’s listed on the Heavenly Flame Ranking.”

“Judging by its power, it should at least rank in the top five!”

“More than that. It was able to stop my Phoenix Remnant Shadow… this flame’s power must rank in the top four at least!”

At that moment, all three of them began discussing Gu He’s Heavenly Flame, their expressions becoming increasingly serious.

“This man is a mid two-star Dou Saint and wields such a powerful Heavenly Flame. There’s no way he’s some nameless character,” said the yellow-robed woman coldly.

“He’s clearly come with a purpose—to spy on our Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan. He absolutely cannot be allowed to leave alive!”

As her voice fell, the crimson-robed woman beside her let out a piercing screech.

Then—whoosh!—she transformed into a massive crimson phoenix, a full thousand meters in size.

Her body was ablaze with fire-red feathers, her beak shaped like a rooster’s, neck long like a snake’s, body resembling a qilin, and tail like a fish’s. Her colossal form blotted out the sky.

Every flap of her wings sent gales tearing through the forest, snapping trees like twigs with a thunderous crack!

In the next moment, the crimson phoenix opened her massive beak and fired a hundred-meter-wide beam of crimson light directly at Gu He.

This beam carried an aura of sheer annihilation, blasting into the purple fire sea and tearing it open in one go.

Gu He’s expression changed.

He quickly formed hand seals, condensing a massive purple fire shield in front of the beam to stop it in its tracks.

Though he managed to block the crimson phoenix’s attack, the effort drained him considerably.

These two women—without a doubt—were the strongest opponents Gu He had ever faced. Together, their combined strength was enough to contend with an ordinary five-star Dou Saint.

After weighing his options, Gu He made a decision: he had to leave as soon as possible.

The moment he wiped out the phoenix shadow still trapped in his purple fire sea, he withdrew his natal divine flame completely back into his body.
