Chapter 1560: Chapter 40: The Phoenix Falls in Lin Chuan_2 Chapter 1560: Chapter 40: The Phoenix Falls in Lin Chuan_2 “Please show mercy in your words, Star Lord.”

Wang You gave An Yushu a dissatisfied glance and said coldly, “Everyone is following their own path; until the end, who can truly tell which one is right and which is wrong.”

“I dare not make rash comments about the others, but Duan Fengjiu’s path is definitely a mistake!”

Perhaps the campaign against terror indeed needed the power of Wang You, allowing An Yushu to lower his stance and speak politely.

But when it comes to martial arts perspectives, why would Qionghua Star Lord, whose talent is unparalleled even in the Divine Court, change his judgment, especially regarding the person before him: “Ordinary secret techniques, even those of extraordinary power, merely consume decades of hard work.”

“But the Punishment Karma Fire is so arduous that even someone with the talent of Duan Fengjiu needs a hundred years of hard work to cultivate it. Even if later generations try to follow his lead based on his writings, it’s exceedingly difficult to accomplish.”

“To waste a hundred years of hard work and come up with such a pointless and useless secret technique.”

Thinking back to the numerous times Duan Fengjiu, who sought the trials of the mortal world to temper his heart, refused to turn back, An Yushu couldn’t help but clench the Void Divine Staff in his hand and said indifferently, “Such a path, is it not a heretical one?”

Noticing the unrest in Qionghua Star Lord’s tone, Wang You suddenly realized that the Nine Phoenix Grandmaster and Qionghua Star Lord might have had an unusual bond or entanglement in the past.

Perhaps compared to his current sense of pity, the other’s harsh words were merely a venting of resentment for not fighting back.

With this thought, Wang You suddenly suppressed his competitive zeal to argue the merits of martial arts with An Yushu, instead asking with a desolate tone, “The Nine Phoenix Grandmaster is now in a dire situation. Aren’t you going to lend a hand, Star Lord?”

Glancing towards the remaining three heads of the phoenix from afar, An Yushu said coldly, “Instead of closing off to seek a breakthrough as his lifespan nears its end, he swaggered onto the Lin Chuan Plain. He acts as if Xiehe would be destroyed by the Heavenly Demons without him. What’s the point in helping such a senseless person?”

Wang You shook his head with a wry smile, also losing the desire to assist.

After all, from the current scene, the fully intact Nine Phoenix Grandmaster had an absolute advantage. The three Heavenly Demons, despite their earth-shaking battle cries, were already not much of a threat with flames all over their bodies.

If a martial artist’s life needed a finale, what could be more splendid than a focused and unyielding battle?

Today in Xiehe, Tang Luo is widely acclaimed as the number one grandmaster, but to a traditionalist like Wang You, all such flattery is nonsense.

All novel martial techniques appear mighty because their weaknesses haven’t been found yet.

Those who can transform existing techniques from decay into wonder are the truly powerful.

Judging from the lingering Evil Qi in the air and the mottled earth, the Nine Phoenix Grandmaster’s rivals were definitely more than just three Heavenly Demons.

Considering that the Heavenly Demons grow stronger with each rebirth, Duan Fengjiu’s challenge this time far surpassed Tang Luo’s encounter.

Although Qionghua Star Lord repeatedly expressed disdain, his restraint from acting was due to a kindness that didn’t want to overshadow the glory of an old friend.

Perhaps this is the bond between close friends and kin, Wang You silently sighed.

To be fair, if he were to regress to the grandmaster realm facing eight Heavenly Demons, he would find it difficult to do any better.

Punishment Karma Fire is indeed a top-tier secret technique of the Fierce Realm. Who knows, after Duan Fengjiu, if there will ever be anyone else capable of wielding this sublime skill.

Although the two apex figures of Xiehe were spectators to the battle, their thoughts had long drifted elsewhere. As old-timers nearly three hundred years into their martial journey, no battles could stir their hearts anymore, let alone a sure-win one.

They had firm and blind faith in Duan Fengjiu, a strong contemporary of theirs.

Unfortunately, the laws governing the turning of events never adhere to one’s wishes, even if the wisher is the Human King of Xiehe.

The change in the battle began with the lament of the Nine Phoenixes. The divine bird, who had just been hammering the three Heavenly Demons with three Punishment Karma Fires, suddenly stopped, cried mournfully toward the southeast, and began to dim.

It was like dandelion seeds scattered by a strong wind. The immense Spiritual Power, which was constrained within the spiritual body by the meridians and Sea of Qi, began leaking into the Great Thousand World from the gaps in the divine body.

The aura of the Nine Phoenix Grandmaster suddenly waned, and the punitive flames on the bird’s neck extinguished without any warning.

The unwilling divine bird beat its wings, cried out in aggrievement. Its cry was no longer clear but instead filled with longing, sorrow, and grievances.

There was regret, unwillingness, and mostly, remorse.

After dominating a lifetime, to look back and realize that nothing had been done well.

‘If only there was a little more time…’

The phoenix folded its wings around itself, buried its head within, and as the Punishment Karma Fire blazed, enveloping the divine bird, what rose was not smoke, but a three-hundred-year-old legend.

This shift occurred in an instant, seemingly absurd, leaving the two Human Kings only able to stare blankly.

As one ages, nostalgia ensues, for seeing an old friend can revive the unruly youth within.

Just like An Yushu, now esteemed as the Star Lord, who remembers his wild and young days of rivalries among the proud elites whenever he sees Duan Fengjiu.

A time of heedless gains and losses, disregarding cause and effect, following one’s sense of justice to do whatever the heart desired with freedom.

But as years accumulate, many familiar waypoints from the past fade, especially at the ages of An Yushu and Wang You.

There are fewer and fewer vibrant symbols in memory, so seeing Duan Fengjiu perish in the midst of giving his all evokes a complex mix of emotions that are hard to articulate.

It’s as if a silent promise was broken, a pact to never part until the end unfulfilled by a companion’s disappearance.

An Yushu, who promised not to intervene, still took action; his hand wielding the Void Divine Staff like iron and wood, divine punishment descending from the ninth heaven, erasing three orange-red streaks.

“Star Lord, please accept my condolences.”

Wang You sighed, “Perhaps knowing his time was short, he sought a grand battle to remain undistracted; it was the choice of Grandmaster Fengjiu. We have other matters to attend to.”

“What trash, unable to deal even with a few Heavenly Demons, deserved to die!”

An Yushu’s grip on the Divine Staff tightened, feigning composure, but his disdainful tone wavered slightly.

Wang You, no longer pressing the stubborn Qionghua Star Lord, sighed, “The Rakshasa Demon Body was annihilated by the Divine Light, but the three True Spirits fled towards the central plains. Perhaps this is the secret to the rebirth of the Heavenly Demon. If we trace the True Spirits, we will surely find the force behind the Heavenly Demon.”

“Had it not been for Pavilion Master’s assistance, Yushu would have nearly jeopardized the greater plan.”

Qionghua Star Lord earnestly said, “Please, Pavilion Master, lead the way to where the True Spirits of the Heavenly Demon were extinguished.”

“It is only right.”

“Please wait, Pavilion Master.”

Just as Wang You was about to lead the way, he was stopped. Qionghua Star Lord grasped her Divine Staff, and several streaks of sublime light from the heavens captured several onlooking Wind Media spies in the distance.

With the divine authority of a prison warden, Qionghua Star Lord, looked down on these Wind Media spies who didn’t dare to even breathe heavily, and issued the decree: “Duan Fengjiu, a master of the Evil King Palace, to ensure peace in Longzhou, plunged deep into the heart of Lin Chuan, fought against eight and eradicated the Heavenly Demon, then died from exhaustion. Spread this news.”

They were but scouts controlled by the Dutian Heavenly King; against a decree directly issued by An Yushu, what resistance could they possibly muster?

No matter what they saw previously, once they left the Lin Chuan Plain, only this version of events would be known.

Ignoring the Wind Media who fled in utter panic, An Yushu turned to Wang You saying, “We can leave now.”

“The Nine Phoenix Grandmaster spent his life burdened by reputation and faction; perhaps this is the best outcome for him.”

Wang You sighed, “Wang You apologizes for his impulsiveness just now; Star Lord was indeed a close and dear friend of the Nine Phoenix Grandmaster.”

“This lord has no such useless old friend; please lead the way, Pavilion Master.”

An Yushu, his hand on the Divine Staff, replied without a change in expression, his voice indifferent.

Shaking his head, the large black and white Divine Robe of the Yin-Yang Pavilion Master swirled with yin and yang energies, distorting his figure, while Qionghua Star Lord turned into a ghostly light and vanished into the sky.

The Lin Chuan Plain at the edge regained its tranquility once again, and Tang Luo, who had been quietly observing from afar, stood up only after confirming there were no more presences around.

‘With such a grand display by two Human Kings, can the Blood God withstand it?’

Stroking his chin, Tang Luo pondered the implications of the appearance of two kings on the current situation.

…

Whether in the past or present, kings remain the wonders of the cultivation path, also known as the Other Shore.

If cultivators before King Realm are discovering and utilizing spiritual power rules, then upon reaching King Realm, they begin to create their own spiritual power rules.

Creating their own set of rules, building their own domains, hence a Human King is the ruler within certain spiritual power rules.

Yan Fu, the Pavilion Master of the Yin-Yang Pavilion, and An Yushu of the Divine Court, had they lived in ancient times, would have been considered two saints.

It is a pity, however, that with the fall of the Demon Race, human cultivators no longer gain fame and establish themselves through demon slaying, a regrettable loss to the world.
