Chapter 1473 - 533: Great Nirvana
The sound of the tremor came suddenly, and upon careful sensing, it was indeed transmitted from underground.
It was as if a massive hammer was pounding beneath the earth.
The disturbance temporarily interrupted the match, and the Fire Phoenix and Ice Phoenix couple, along with the people of the Phoenix Tribe present, couldn’t help but change their expressions.
"Father is about to ascend."
Realizing what was happening, all of the Phoenix Clan, including Fire Phoenix, instantly moved towards the direction of the Royal Court Tree at the center of Jiunie Mountain, and Little Zhiyo was no exception.
The rest of the Bird Clan people scattered as well.
"You little brat, consider yourself lucky. I’ll deal with you later."
Rui also turned into a stream of light, heading towards the Royal Court Tree.
Today is the fifteenth, also the day the Old Clan Leader makes his attempt at the Divine Beast.
The Old Clan Leader has already begun his retreat.
This is why Little Zhiyo and Rui chose tonight for the match.
They just didn’t expect such a commotion would result from the Old Clan Leader’s ascension.
"Let’s go and take a look as well."
Under Ye Lingyue’s feet, the ground was constantly trembling. She had previously heard from the Fire Phoenix couple that many past clan leaders of the Phoenix Clan were striving for the Divine Beast Elixir Fire Phoenix realm. A Phoenix needed to go through nine Nirvana to grow a Head Feather and become the Divine Beast Elixir Fire Phoenix.
The reason why the Phoenix Clan chose to inhabit Jiunie Mountain was due to its special environment.
In the vicinity of Jiunie Mountain’s nine peaks, nine volcanoes lie dormant, known as Jiuqu Volcano.
Normally, these nine volcanoes are dormant, with only minor eruptions occurring every ten years.
The Clan Leader needs to retreat within Jiuqu Volcano. Each retreat is called Little Nirvana.
Every ninety years, Jiuqu Volcano will erupt on a large scale. Only by enduring this final eruption can one succeed in Jiunie, referred to as Great Nirvana.
Great Nirvana rebirth, to become the Divine Bird Elixir Fire Phoenix.
The current Old Clan Leader, the Phoenix Emperor, has already undergone eight Little Nirvana, and this time is his final Nirvana, the Great Nirvana.
To prevent the eruption of Jiuqu Volcano from causing disasters, each time, the Old Clan Leader would use Water Bright Stone to set up special prohibition arrays.
However, due to the overwhelming power of the Great Nirvana this time, the Old Clan Leader collected a large amount of Water Bright Stone to set up a large prohibition.
Unexpectedly, the arrays set up with dozens of Water Bright Stones failed to seal the large-scale eruption of Jiuqu Volcano.
Rumble——
Ye Lingyue and the Huangquan Team rushed past the Royal Court Tree.
In front, thick smoke billowed.
The nine mountains of Jiunie Mountain, usually appearing tranquil and beautiful, simultaneously erupted at this moment.
The nine Jiuqu Volcanoes erupted together, forming fire columns that shot skyward, creating a terrifying Molten Lava Fire Column.
In the middle of the Molten Lava Fire Column, a silhouette was vaguely visible.
It was the Old Clan Leader, the Phoenix Emperor.
The temperature of the lava could instantly melt a Golden Stone, and as it poured onto a person, the Old Clan Leader’s clothing ignited, his skin cracked apart, and his muscles quickly dissolved. What kind of pain was this?
Beside the Old Clan Leader, dozens of Water Bright Stones were floating.
Whenever the Old Clan Leader was in unbearable pain, on the verge of collapse, a Water Bright Stone would be absorbed into the fire column, alleviating the Old Clan Leader’s suffering.
"Is that Great Nirvana?"
Ye Lingyue and the others stood atop the Royal Court Tree, watching the Old Clan Leader within the Molten Lava Fire Column.
Everyone present had experienced Reincarnation Tribulation, and compared to the Great Nirvana before them, the pain of Reincarnation Tribulation seemed utterly insignificant.
Everyone watched with chills running down their spines.
Water Bright Stone after Water Bright Stone was consumed, yet the pain endured by the Old Clan Leader inside the Molten Lava Fire Column showed no signs of weakening.
When the last Water Bright Stone was also consumed, the Old Clan Leader couldn’t help but let out a long howl.
The human form suddenly vanished, and a Phoenix Bird appeared within the Molten Lava Fire Column.
The blazing flames ignited the feathers of the Phoenix Bird, which instantly turned to ashes, becoming charred.
Cracks and fine lines floated on the surface of the Old Clan Leader’s body.
But just then, the Phoenix Bird let out a mournful cry, its body transforming into a fireball, rolling and falling, just like a meteorite.
"Not good! Failed."
The Fire Phoenix and Ice Phoenix, along with others, cried out in alarm.
Even with dozens of Water Bright Stones aiding, the Old Clan Leader ultimately failed to endure the Great Nirvana.
Having exhausted himself for the Great Nirvana, if the Old Clan Leader were to fall into Jiuqu Volcano now, his remains would be obliterated.
The offspring and descendants of the Phoenix Clan mourned, with several figures swiftly racing towards the Molten Lava Fire Column.
But the lava inside the Molten Lava Fire Column was incredibly hot; before any approach, a large amount of fiery, burning lava erupted from the Molten Lava Fire Column.
The lava was unbearably hot; upon contact with any living thing, it would instantly ignite.
The Fire Phoenix and Ice Phoenix attempted to get close several times, but they were forced back by the lava, and even those not careful were hit by the lava, sustaining internal injuries.
"Rui, quickly set up a spirit array to control the Molten Lava Fire Column’s power. We only need a quarter-hour to rescue the Clan Leader."
The Fire Phoenix and Ice Phoenix, seeing no alternative, quickly retreated.
The Molten Lava Fire Column’s power can only be controlled with Water Bright Stone, but unfortunately, all Water Bright Stones had been consumed. Now they could only rely on Rui’s intermediate spirit array, trying to restrain the power of the Molten Lava Fire Column.
Watching the fierce flames, reaching into the sky, Rui felt an overwhelming reluctance in his heart.
It was a Molten Lava Fire Column formed by Great Nirvana, with earth-shattering power.
Even his grandfather, who was a Great Divine Power Realm expert, was no match for the Molten Lava Fire Column; how could he possibly deal with it?
But then he thought, if he succeeded in rescuing his grandfather this time, he would have achieved a major accomplishment, and the position of Young Clan Leader and Little Wuya would be within his grasp.
With greedy desires rising in Rui’s heart, he once again deployed the Python Devouring Water Spirit Array.
The Ice Python, carrying the Water Spirit’s power, flew towards the Molten Lava Fire Column, the thick python body winding around the Molten Lava Fire Column.
When the Water Spirit power touched the Molten Lava Fire Column, its power weakened immediately.
At this time, the sky within a hundred miles around was illuminated in blood-red, as if the sky was about to collapse, very frightening.
With the Molten Lava Fire Column’s power reduced, it became the best time to rescue the Old Clan Leader.
The Old Clan Leader’s various offspring, including the second and third, looked pale and fearful.
Fire Phoenix, despite being injured, considered the Old Clan Leader’s critical condition.
He bit his lip, his figure transforming into a stream of light, ready to rush towards the Molten Lava Fire Column.
But just then, a speedier beam of rapid light blocked his path.
"Father, let me!"
Little Wuya appeared in front of Fire Phoenix, her pretty face full of gravity.
Fire Phoenix paused, glancing at Little Wuya with a smile of comfort at the corner of his mouth.
"How can that be, the Molten Lava Fire from Great Nirvana is extraordinary. You’re just a child, quickly return to your mother... If I don’t return... you and your brothers look after her."
