Chapter 1559 - Chapter 1559 Chapter 40 The Phoenix Descends upon Lin Chuan

Chapter 1559: Chapter 40: The Phoenix Descends upon Lin Chuan Chapter 1559: Chapter 40: The Phoenix Descends upon Lin Chuan At the borderlands of Lin Chuan Plain, the ground was cracked open, creating a desolate, fiery battlefield.

Transformed into the Nine Phoenixes, the Grandmaster bravely faced eight opponents, and to everyone’s surprise, still had the strength to counterattack.

The wings cloaked in the Eight Sins Karma Flame became the best weapon for the Phoenix King, as the fierce Heavenly Demons would scream and roll on the ground in agony if they were touched even slightly by the fire.

But the special Karma Flame could burn violently even if the robes were submerged in a pool of blood, causing tremendous suffering for the eight Heavenly Demons.

Luckily, with their profound original blood energy, the Heavenly Demons remained ferocious even when burned like torches, continuously invoking the Eight Sky Secret Techniques to attack the Phoenix King engulfed in flames.

However, Duan Fengjiu seemed to have a different plan in mind. Faced with the attack of the Mysterious Blood Killing Technique, he neither dodged nor used the Karma Flame to defend himself. Instead, he allowed the Blood Fiend to soak in and focused all his Spiritual Power on his offensive.

This led to a fierce battle that resembled a tragic tale of infatuated lovers harming each other. Every time the Phoenix King was pierced by a blood arrow and retaliated with a wave of fire, it seemed like a contest of who could endure the longest.

Clearly, Duan Fengjiu was unaware of the legend that the Eight Demons could resurrect indefinitely; otherwise, utilizing a strategy that exchanged injury for injury would have been unwise.

But old-school Grandmasters always have a sense of bewildering pride, perhaps overconfident in the Punishment Karma Fire.

Duan Fengjiu seemed not to care about the tales of resurrection, choosing instead to fight in such a manner.

Yet, being outnumbered and facing constant attacks from the eightfold Mysterious Blood Killing Technique, the Phoenix King was always at a disadvantage. Each wave of Karma Flame met with eight more powerful blood techniques.

The proud and powerful Nine Phoenixes soon became covered in wounds, their wing strikes growing weaker and even the surrounding Eight Sins Karma Fire flickering like a dying flame in the wind.

In contrast, the Eight Heavenly Demons, although plagued by the Karma Fire, clenched their teeth and summoned the forbidden curses sealed within the Asura Divine Artifact, continuously worsening the Phoenix King’s injuries.

Eventually, the weakened Phoenix King, unable to evade, was overwhelmed by the Blood River pouring from above. The Blood River shredded the phoenix’s wing feathers and devoured the fiery Spiritual Body. Even its cries were drowned out by the torrential river, and the Phoenix King was toppled to the ground.

“We’ve finally caught this beast!” Chadi, severely scarred by the flames, gnashed his teeth and roared, raising both hands and casting a vast amount of blood energy into the sky. Under the amplification of the red moon and the scarlet realm, the Asura Blood Blade, transformed from the Blood River’s spring, spewed even more corrupt blood, completely enveloping the scarcely visible Phoenix King.

Simultaneously, a massive malevolent spirit combined with a million others, the Mysterious Blood toxic arrows in a nine-star formation, and the crimson evil light shot from the Evil Eyes converged, relentlessly targeting the huddled mass beneath the ground.

Such ferocious attacks would have overwhelmed even the Void Grandmaster’s Void Spiritual Body, let alone the Nine Phoenixes’ Spiritual Body.

But to the eight Heavenly Demons’ surprise, the Nine Phoenixes, supposedly trapped and submerged by the Blood River, resurrected from a mere wisp of Karma Fire.

“Screeeech~~~~”

The cry of the Nine Phoenixes cleared the skies, causing the scarlet realm and red moon to wobble as if struck a mighty blow.

With the domineering aura of a phoenix soaring through the heavens, it was as if the attacks it had just suffered were mere illusions. Facing the resurgent towering Karma Fire, the eight Heavenly Demons and Nine Phoenix Grandmaster commenced the second round of battle.

“Look at that beast’s neck.”

Among the eight Heavenly Demons, the archer Disaster Pledge, who had the sharpest perception, raised his voice to his companions, “How can the Phoenix’s rebirth come without a cost? The Nine-headed Phoenix Bird now has only eight heads!”

All eyes followed where Disaster Pledge pointed, and indeed, beneath the original phoenix head were eight distinct human faces, but after rebirth, only seven remained on the Phoenix King’s neck.

This revelation boosted the confidence of the Heavenly Demons. A new wave of battle cries shook the heavens, and aside from the Blood Moon and scarlet realm, the six Heavenly Demons retracted their Blood Fiend weapons, ready for close-quarters combat with the Nine Phoenixes.

The belligerent Blood Rakshasa, once in battle spirit, disregarded the agony of being burned by the Karma Fire. Chadi, engulfed in purple flames, brandished his greatsword and laughed wildly, “Why is the beast faltering now? Just a moment ago, it was so fierce! How come, after losing a face, its speed and strength have diminished, and even this Karma Fire seems weaker, huh?”

During the fight, the Nine Phoenixes remained unusually silent, simply waving their blade-like wings continuously. Behind them, five tail feathers, whip-like, lashed out with Karma Fire at the encroaching foes.

Although the sacrifice of rebirth had reduced the Eight Sins Karma Fire to seven, it didn’t diminish its lethality, especially since the Heavenly Demons had chosen close combat, giving the Nine Phoenixes an even better chance to wound them.

After an exchange of attacks, Bu Ge, who had already been crippled by the Ziwei Starfire, was pierced and torn apart by the Nine Phoenixes’ feathers, his demonic body shredded.

Down to seven, the Linchuan Eight Demons’ ranks were diminished, weakened by the Karma Fire.

But this did not dampen the spirits of the remaining seven Blood Rakshasas. Proud to be reborn indefinitely in the sea of blood, they regarded death in battle as a glory.

…

When Qionghua Star Lord An Yushu and Yin-Yang Pavilion Master Wang You arrived at the Linchuan Borderlands, what they saw was the Nine Phoenix Grandmaster with only three faces left, engaged in a life-or-death struggle with three Heavenly Demons under the blood moon.

“How tragic… How lamentable!”

Yin-Yang Pavilion Master Wang You sighed while looking at Duan Fengjiu battling bloodily against the Heavenly Demons under the red lunar light, “If it weren’t for Grandmaster Fengjiu’s obsession with his techniques and wasting nearly a century in the mortal realm to refine the Punishment Karma Fire, his achievements would have surpassed mine. What a pity…”

“Why belittle yourself, Pavilion Master?”

An Yushu glanced down at the battlefield, disdainfully saying, “Duan Fengjiu, of the same age, attained Grandmaster status with us, but he failed to prioritize correctly, to discern the true nature of techniques. It was only after the fall of the Evil Immortal King that he realized the burden upon his shoulders, but a hundred years lost in the mortal realm, how could such a tremendous mistake be mended? Even if he managed to create the impressive secret technique of Punishment Karma Fire, it was undoubtedly a wicked path!”
