Chapter 1223 - 1248: The Battle Unfolds (Part 5)
This result left the Immortal Beast powerhouses in shock. "Marshal, this kid has slain so many of our people, not a simple feat. It’s something only a Late-Stage Immortal Emperor can do, and if this continues, our Immortal Beast army will suffer significant losses. I am willing to go and slay him," said a middle-aged man.
"I am also willing to go. This Immortal Realm war cannot afford any slip-ups. Please, Marshal, make a decision!" another middle-aged man said.
The Elder Jinlong in the sky glanced at Chu Lin, who was ruthlessly reaping the lives of Immortal Beasts on the ground, and said, "Go, bring this guy’s head back. I want to use his head to show the Immortal Realm that this person’s identity is not simple. Doing so will undoubtedly make the Immortal Realm army’s morale crumble."
Immediately, the two men flew directly towards Chu Linfeng, "Marshal, that golden bird should be from the Golden-Winged Roc Clan, right? I never expected someone could train a member of the Golden-Winged Roc Clan into a pet. It’s unheard of!"
"Phoenix King, the Golden-Winged Roc Clan shares the same noble status as ours, a true royal bloodline among the Immortal Beasts. However, the Golden-Winged Roc Clan has completely fallen, and perhaps only in the Sky-Spirit Valley might they still exist. This Golden-Winged Roc was likely brought out from there.
Inside, there are also us, the Dragon Race, Phoenix Race, and Tiger Elephant Race, so this war can only succeed, not fail. That Golden-Winged Roc is also very powerful. Perhaps only your speed can barely contend with it, so I’ll leave the Golden-Winged Roc to you. If you can subdue it, great; if not, then slay it," said Elder Jinlong.
"Rest assured, Marshal, the Golden-Winged Roc may be formidable, but compared to our Phoenix Race, it is still lacking. Moreover, this Golden-Winged Roc has yet to reach the Late-Stage Immortal Emperor Realm; slaying it is an easy task," said the Phoenix King.
Subsequently, she swiftly flew towards Chu Linfeng and the Golden Demon Vulture, whose competition time had arrived. "Old Jin, how many Immortal Beasts have you slain?" Chu Linfeng asked.
"Six thousand three hundred and twenty-one. Boss, you?" said the Golden Demon Vulture.
"You lost. I slew over seven thousand three hundred. Achieving such a result is already heaven-defying. You’ve expended much Immortal Spirit Power; return to my body to recover. Three Late-Stage Immortal Emperor powerhouses are already on their way here. You’ve spent too much to be a match for them. Let the boss handle them," said Chu Linfeng.
Meanwhile, on the battlefield in the distance, a lion as massive as a mountain roared to the sky, absorbing the terrifying bloodthirsty qi from the air. The red light shining from its body exuded a primordial aura, leaving all Immortals and Immortal Beasts on the battlefield in shock.
"This Xiaoying always causes such a scene. Just absorbing some bloodthirsty qi attracts so much attention. I have to hand it to him," said Chu Linfeng.
"This time, after absorbing the bloodthirsty qi of these powerhouses, Xiaoying’s strength will definitely surpass mine. Seems like after this Immortal Beast war ends, I’ll have to go into seclusion as well. Boss, I’ll retreat into your body first; release me when you need me," the Golden Demon Vulture said.
With a flash of golden light, the Golden Demon Vulture returned to Chu Linfeng’s body, and in the sky, three top-tier Immortal Beast powerhouses were flying over, all focusing on Chu Linfeng.
At this moment, Elder Jinlong in the sky looked at Xiaoying muttering, "How could an Ancient Holy Beast appear here, and a mutated one at that? Could there really be a super powerhouse in the Immortal Realm capable of subduing both a Golden-Winged Roc and this Blood Shadow Frenzied Lion?"
Chu Linfeng glanced at the three individuals before him and said with a smile, "Might I ask the identities of the three of you among the Immortal Beasts? By the look of things, you’re here to fight me, aren’t you?"
"Fight you? Kid, who exactly are you, daring to slaughter our Immortal Beasts so madly? Today, you’re dead! Want to know who we are? You’re not qualified!" one middle-aged man angrily said.
"Anyone who disrespects me meets only death. You’re as good as dead!" Chu Linfeng said calmly, then turned to the enchanting woman in fiery red,
"You’re from the Phoenix Race, aren’t you? I have significant ties with the Phoenix Race and don’t wish to harm you. I suggest you leave, and I’ll tell you now, you’re no match for me." These words were transmitted directly into the Phoenix King’s ear using the Secret Transmission technique.
The Phoenix King looked at Chu Linfeng and said, "Whether you have ties with the Phoenix Race or not, you’ve slain so many of our Immortal Beasts today, so you must die!"
As soon as she finished speaking, a black flame appeared in her hand, striking Chu Linfeng and instantly enveloping him. The air heated intensely, producing cracking sounds as if the fire had ignited the atmosphere itself.
"The Phoenix King’s Nirvana Fire is even more powerful than Celestial Fire. This guy has a death wish for not even trying to dodge; he’s looking to die," a middle-aged man said.
"Unbelievable that the Phoenix King killed this kid with just one move. This credit is solely the Phoenix King’s. We can only watch," another man said.
Smiling, the Phoenix King remarked, "This kid really overestimated himself, did he not? Speaking so arrogantly in front of me. Dying under my Nirvana Fire is his fortune. Though, it seems that the Golden-Winged Roc entered his body; they must have formed a Soul Contract."
Having heard the three talking, Chu Linfeng laughed immediately and said, "Phoenix King, you disappoint me greatly. I meant to spare you because my wife is from your Phoenix Race, but you assumed I was joking? Even the Phoenix Race monarchs in the Divine Ascension Platform would show me the utmost respect. Do you really think your Immortal Beasts can unify the Immortal Realm? You’re underestimating people."
Chu Linfeng’s words left the three in shock. This Nirvana Fire didn’t reduce him to ash; he still spoke. This was unsettling: could the boy indeed be an unparalleled powerhouse?
However, the aura he exhibited was only Mid-stage Immortal Emperor level, logically insufficient to withstand the attack. The three stared in bewilderment at Chu Linfeng, engulfed in black flames.
A thought crossed his mind; Chu Linfeng instantly absorbed all the black flames into his body, revealing his unscathed form. The three involuntarily stepped back, their faces displaying expressions as if they were looking at a monster.
"Who are you? How can you absorb my Nirvana Fire? I know all renowned figures in the Immortal Realm. Could you be a powerhouse from the Divine Realm?" inquired the Phoenix King, entirely aware of the Nirvana Fire’s might, able to instantly kill a Mid-stage Immortal Emperor.
Even a Late-Stage Immortal Emperor could be slain, yet this youth swallowed it effortlessly, truly astonishing her. Apart from someone from the Divine Realm, she couldn’t fathom anyone in the Immortal Realm possessing such daunting strength...
