Chapter 522 The Control of Power: The Azure Dragon's Hidden Location

The air was compressed into a white cloud, which shot out like a white column of air, landing a direct and powerful punch on Ice Phoenix's chin.

A shrill tearing sound came from its neck, flesh and blood shattered, and bones were dislocated. With the help of the demonized life force, the injury was healed in the blink of an eye.

This is the characteristic of demonized monsters: regardless of what they were in life, their defense is extremely low after demonization, and their self-healing ability is abnormally strong.

Even the Yin Blood Pill technique is far inferior in this respect.

Startled by Wang Yu's sudden appearance, the Ice Phoenix swung its wings and charged forward, its extreme frost and cold air condensing into a guillotine-like slash of energy.

Wherever it passed, the moisture in the air condensed into ice crystals, scattering and dancing like snowflakes, adding a touch of beauty to this move.

Wang Yu clapped his hands together, and an even more terrifying power spread out. The sonic boom repelled everything that approached, and even the Ice Phoenix's counterattack was shattered inch by inch!

This is Wang Yu after his breakthrough; his physical strength has reached an extreme, a complete manifestation of his unparalleled potential.

He then flashed and suddenly appeared behind the Ice Phoenix.

The demonic energy surged forth from his right leg, instantly condensing into the shape of a giant ice axe. The axe handle was connected to his leg, forming a true battle axe leg split.

"—Swoosh!"

A fierce wind howled, and he brought the effect of his power control to its limit, concentrating all his strength into this axe kick. The ice phoenix raised its head high.

He unleashed Ice Phoenix True Flame from all 360 degrees around his body, attempting to force Wang Yu back with the flame, but the other party didn't take it seriously at all.

The Ice Dragon Flame, which had also reached the fifth rank, transformed into the form of an ice dragon, closely protecting Wang Yu's body. At the same time, the axe kick truly arrived, splitting the ice phoenix in two with a single blow.

Countless fine threads shot out from the severed wound, attempting to glue the two sides of the body together, but Wang Yu charged forward again.

This time, a large lump of black ice condensed on his fist, and with one punch, he sent the lower half of the Ice Phoenix flying into the sky, breaking off the blood vessels that were originally attached to it.

Wang Yu then took out the Sun-Piercing Demon Bow and fired an arrow.

The half-body instantly exploded into a magnificent and mysteriously beautiful ice lotus.

"Hiss!"

A furious cry rang in her ears, and the Ice Phoenix was forced to expend more of its life force to restore its missing lower body, only to see Wang Yu attack again.

He stood not far away and assumed a boxing stance.

In an instant, it seemed as if thousands of fists and feet were condensed into one move, and the Yinming Demon Dragon with imperial might flew out from Wang Yu's waving fist, its size instantly increasing to over a thousand meters.

Fifth-Order Physical Divine Power: Dragon Emperor Fist!

It was also one of the signature skills of the first Human Emperor. Wang Yu had only cultivated it to the minor completion stage, yet he was already able to unleash some of the power of this divine ability.

If Bingfeng were alive, she might have been able to immediately come up with a solution.

Even if some of their intelligence remains after death, they will never regain the sharpness and wit they possessed in life.

It was simply an instinct to unleash the most powerful divine ability within oneself.

Enveloped in phoenix flames, a layer of fiery feathers enveloped him; this was one of the phoenix's inherited divine abilities, named the [Burning Heaven Phoenix Technique]!

Even a different species of ice phoenix can still trace the lineage of the phoenix clan within its bloodline.

The phoenix collides with the dragon.

The terrifying shockwave destroyed all the surrounding buildings except for the Phoenix Palace, and the commotion was enough to reach every corner of the Heavenly Palace Secret Realm.

Once the light faded, vision returned to normal.

Then they saw that only the head of the Ice Phoenix was stuck in the ground, and the flesh below its neck was rapidly growing back. Wang Yu was covered in blood, and a bloody hole appeared in his chest.

The flesh and blood are also rapidly wriggling, allowing the injury to heal quickly.

"It's so exciting!"

With a mumbled remark, Wang Yu's interest was fully ignited. He activated the Tai Chi Hunyuan Hand technique and charged forward again, forcing the Ice Phoenix, which had just grown half a wing, to collide with Wang Yu.

Fists and feet clashed with wings dozens of times in an instant.

While they appeared to be evenly matched, Wang Yu had actually accumulated a large amount of enemy strength through advanced combat techniques, culminating in a burst of power from the Void Aperture Combat Technique.

Ice Phoenix was blown away again.

The massive consumption of energy, coupled with the remaining body, slowed down the repair process considerably. However, a phoenix beak suddenly detached, transforming into an extremely cold ice spike that struck Wang Yu's brow.

At the critical moment, the field ability extended by the control of force instantly distorted the gravity of the area in front of him, and then pulled it with the force of his palm.

An ice spike grazed his temple, leaving a deep, bone-revealing wound.

Being suddenly attacked like this, even though he knew that this thing relied entirely on fighting instincts, Wang Yu still felt angry.

His movements suddenly became even more ferocious.

Blood rained down from the sky!

The Ice Phoenix Corpse was like a rag doll, its "flesh and blood" being haphazardly torn apart by Wang Yu, frozen into dead flesh, and then tossed far away.

In no time, a small mountain of flesh and blood formed, several times larger than the Ice Phoenix itself, demonstrating the extent of the abnormal regenerative power of the demonized life force.

At this point, the Ice Phoenix's recovery speed slowed down further, and it was now almost on par with Wang Yu's physical body, which meant that the opponent was about to meet his end.

It's about time to try capturing him alive.

Despite Ice Phoenix's strength reaching the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, its true combat power is absolutely at the bottom of this level. So don't be fooled by its ability to display its might in front of the Northern Demon Clan.

That's because the strongest of these demon cultivators was only at the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage. Under the suppression of a higher realm, they were naturally no match for each other and were crushed as a matter of course.

But when facing a prodigy like Wang Yu, who has rich combat experience, profound knowledge, and unfathomable skills, he is actually just a large punching bag.

No matter how they play, they can't possibly lose.

When the time was right.

Wang Yu unleashed his natal magic weapon, the Glazed Pagoda. With the infusion of demonic energy, its size rapidly increased, and countless black ice chains spread out from the base of the pagoda, their sharp wedges swiftly piercing through the flesh and blood of the Ice Phoenix.

He locked it firmly in place, and at the same time, Wang Yu stepped forward instantly, transferring various sealing spells to the chains, completely suppressing the Ice Phoenix.

As the chains slowly retracted, the Ice Phoenix's size shrank until it was completely absorbed by the Glazed Pagoda. Now was not the right time to unleash the Heavenly Demon Transformation.

Before refining it, Wang Yu took Yan Ling inside to see if they could create a wonderful chemical reaction.

With the Ice Phoenix incident concluded, the next step is the third area of ​​the Heavenly Palace Secret Realm—[Phoenix Abyss Cold Pool]!

Legend has it that this place was where the first Holy Lord of the Demon Clan stored his treasured artifacts, but this is a misconception.

In reality, it is a place where the true Ice Phoenix is ​​imprisoned, and its true spirit blood is periodically extracted from it to maintain the disguise of the fake Ice Phoenix.

Wang Yu was unaware of this secret.

His past purpose was to obtain the Celestial-Human Connection Treasure Vine to prepare for the Nascent Soul Transformation. After resolving the crisis of the Ice Phoenix, Wang Yu used his divine sense to notify everyone in the Phoenix Palace.

Half an incense stick later.

The Fire Crow King stared in shock at the chaotic battlefield, then glanced at Wang Yu, noticing the bloodstains all over him, and assumed it had been a fierce battle.

But the result was obvious: Wang Yu won.

"To be able to defeat an opponent like the Ice Phoenix Corpse at the very beginning of the Nascent Soul stage, the name of Extreme Law is indeed well-deserved."

He is truly a master of the law!

As the Fire Crow King and the Thunder Kirin King exchanged glances, it seemed as if they both saw the words "cautious" in each other's eyes. They then became even more discreet, answering almost every question Wang Yu asked.

Whatever is arranged, that is what it is.

Even more obedient than Wang Yu's servants at Cold Blood Peak, the group continued their journey, getting closer and closer to the Phoenix Abyss Cold Pool.

…………

…………

Bottom of the Phoenix Abyss Cold Pool.

Blue-scaled flying fish, resembling phoenixes, swam freely in the cold pool. Near the group was a simple hexagonal stone platform.

The surrounding area was covered with strange, mystical creatures that resembled aquatic plants.

Alchemists call these things "Vitality Cold Pool Grass." They grow specifically in cold pools and require both extreme cold and vital energy to grow properly.

It is extremely rare, being a fourth-tier spiritual herb.

There are at least a hundred plants growing here, which shows how fertile the environment is. On the hexagonal stone platform, a figure is sitting cross-legged.

His bluish-gray hair was casually draped down, swaying with the ripples of the water. Two bluish-gray dragon horns grew from his forehead and extended towards the back of his head, intertwined like a crown.

This is proof of the Dragon King's power. When the bloodline of a true dragon reaches a certain concentration, dragon horns will grow. The older the dragon, the more its horns will become entangled, eventually forming something resembling a crown.

Such a being can also be respectfully called the Dragon King.

Their lifespan is often very long, so the Dragon King is not necessarily determined by strength, but by age.

The figure was clad in rusty armor, riddled with cracks and holes, and his eyes, visible beneath tightly closed lenses, were constantly moving.

Until a certain moment, it opened instantly.

He revealed a pair of dull, cloudy eyes, his handsome face slightly turned to the side, and his voice was old and hoarse, as if he hadn't spoken for many years.

"—Junior."

"Now that you're here, why are you still hiding?!"

Suddenly, a crack appeared in the void, and the water of the icy pool was pushed aside by the force, from which the Five-Colored Holy Lord, whose face always wore a gentle smile, stepped out.

He looked at the Azure Dragon Demon Lord with a sentimental expression and said.

"Your Excellency, it's been a long time."

When I last met the Demon Lord, he was just a second-tier demon in his clan. If it weren't for his extraordinary bloodline, he might not have even developed intelligence.

Seeing the once spirited Azure Dragon Demon Lord again now, the contrast between the two evokes a myriad of emotions.

"Oh...you know me? I haven't shown my face among the demons for a thousand years. Since you were able to find the Heavenly Palace Secret Realm, it must have been arranged by the current Holy Lord?"

The Azure Dragon Demon Lord doesn't seem to be very vigilant.

The Five-Colored Holy Lord responded.

"This junior is not talented, but is the current Holy Lord of the Northern Demon Clan."

Upon hearing this, the Azure Dragon Demon Lord frowned immediately.

"absurd!

"How could a Holy Lord risk his life in the Heavenly Palace Secret Realm?"

"Don't you know the truth about the first generation Ice Phoenix? Also... the Medicine Horned Deer clan is too weak in combat. They're okay as healers, but as Holy Lord... forget it."

The Five-Colored Saint Lord did not expect that his first meeting with the Azure Dragon Demon Lord would be met with rejection. His expression gradually turned ferocious, as if a sore spot had been touched.

"What do you know? So what if it's a medicinal deer? Is it destined to be a doctor for life? Every time you expend your cultivation to condense the antler pearls, isn't it always requisitioned by the demon race? And when have you ever received any compensation?!"

Upon hearing this, the Azure Dragon Demon Lord closed his eyes again.

The demonic energy that had been dormant within him quickly revived, and the aura of a peak Nascent Soul cultivator was once again displayed on him as he suddenly stood up.

"If I say you can do it, then you can do it even if you can't."

"I say you're no good, and even if you are, it doesn't matter!"

With a clench of his right hand, crackling lightning suddenly exploded in the water, its powerful force shaking the very fabric of space, causing the Five-Colored Saint Lord to immediately retreat dozens of steps.

"You've fully recovered?" she exclaimed in astonishment.

The Azure Dragon Demon Lord didn't answer at all, but instead curled his lips into a smile.

"Speak, who trained you, and who is behind you who wants to see me? The faster you speak, the easier your death will be."

The reason that supports the Azure Dragon Demon Lord's judgment is simple: the Medicine Horned Deer clan, from which the Five-Colored Holy Lord originated, is the biggest flaw.

Unlike Wang Yu, an outsider who was unaware of the history of the demon race.

Qinglong knew very well that with his status as a physician in the Yaojiaolu clan, he might be able to live a good life, but he could also be completely enslaved by other demon clans.

In the dog-eat-dog world of demon cultivators, the latter is more likely. From any perspective, under natural development, the Medicine Horned Deer was never qualified to become the Holy Lord of the Demon Clan.

so.

Since this has happened, there must be someone behind it all.

His initial suspicion naturally fell on the Refining Heaven Demon Sect.

The Five-Colored Holy Lord clapped his hands.

"Impressive. No wonder he was the most admired expert of this Holy Lord. His keen sense of smell alone surpasses that of countless geniuses."

This air of complete control caused Qinglong to frown deeply.

He wasn't in very good condition.

The injuries he sustained back then left him with permanent disabilities; half of his six senses were gone, he went blind, lost his sense of touch, and lost his sense of smell.

This damage was caused by the White Tiger Divine Power unexpectedly combined with the Refining Heaven Demon Flame. It is beyond repair, and there are still a lot of flames remaining in his body, constantly burning his flesh and blood.

Therefore, the Azure Dragon Demon Lord's ability to sustain combat is not strong.

Even as soon as he leaves the secret realm, the Demon Lord of Refining Heaven will sense his location. Given the greed the Demon Lord has shown, he will definitely not let go of his dragon tendons, dragon bones, and so on.

If the other party is indeed the Demon Lord of Refining Heaven, then when this fiend takes over the position of Holy Lord, we can find out his exact location through the information he left behind.

He will likely come in person to retrieve his body.

Based on the Five-Colored Holy Lord's performance, the Azure Dragon Demon Lord quickly overturned his guess. If it wasn't the Refining Heaven Demon Lord, then who else could possess such abilities?

Immediately afterwards, the Azure Dragon Demon Lord's pupils contracted.

Suddenly, the void above the Five-Colored Holy Lord's head cracked open, and a pale purple eye, filled with a cold and deathly aura, shone with a few rays of light.

The aura of a peak Void Refinement cultivator crashed down, causing the arrogant Azure Dragon Demon Lord to kneel on the spot. The Five-Colored Saint Lord immediately shouted fervently.

"Welcome, Lord Spirit Official, King of the Celestial Palace!!!"

The title of "Prison King Spirit Official" refers to this person's official position in the Immortal Palace. He is the Six-Eared Thief from Beyond the Realm recorded in the Black Stele, who has appeared many times in the history of the Ice Prison Realm.

It thwarted the escape plans of many senior cultivators.

They have an incredibly rich experience.

This time, naturally, he appeared for this purpose as well. The Azure Dragon Demon Lord could not hide his shock and suppressed the hostility in his heart as he asked.

"Senior Prison King Spirit Official, what brings you to my court?"
