But that's all.

Where the black hand grasped, the flames were blocked, and not a single ray of light could be seen!

Unable to resist, no matter how the phoenix erupted, the dark hand held her firmly, seemingly unconcerned.

The fiery sea, now breached, could no longer stop the black mist from spreading. The phoenix was horrified to discover that its divine sense was changing!

The phoenix is ​​melting, and a black mist is taking its place.

"No one can change me!" the phoenix roared, the fiery phoenix letting out a wild howl like a beast.

Peng!

She self-destructed, then rose from the ashes in the distance.

"Kill!" She flapped her wings and swooped down.

At this moment, the Divine Perception Space was shrouded in dark clouds and black mist like a vast ocean, the world was shrouded in darkness, and the only light was the blazing phoenix.

She struggled in the waves of black mist, like a petrel battling the storm.

They were almost victorious; the black mist was about to be burned away. But then, a dark hand emerged from the clouds and struck again.

The agile and sacred phoenix once again fell helplessly into the clutches of darkness.

"The phoenix fire, may it never die!"

Peng!

The fiery phoenix self-destructed again, only to be reborn in the distance.

This time she changed her target and attacked Black Hand frantically. Black Hand did not fight back and burned quietly in the flames.

However, just as the Fiery Phoenix began to drive away the black mist, the Black Hand casually flicked its wrist, tossed aside the flames, and grabbed them.

"Ah—" This is the Divine Perception Space. With this grab, Phoenix felt excruciating pain in her soul and almost lost all resistance.

No one can change me!

"In the midst of excruciating pain, Phoenix self-destructed once again."

Phoenix didn't know how many times she had died; all she knew was that in the end, she almost gave up resisting. Every time the dark hand grabbed her, the excruciating pain destroyed her will once more.

Even when she finally regained some of her divine power, she had lost the will to live.

Just when she thought she was about to lose herself, the dark clouds disappeared, and the black hand had to retreat.

"It's over?" Phoenix asked incredulously, flapping its wings and hovering in the Divine Perception Space.

"I made it through," she murmured to herself.

Not only that, she felt more powerful. Both her divine sense and her visualization techniques underwent some incredible changes after experiencing the ordeal.

suddenly!

“This is…” Phoenix looked at herself, her eyes filled with terror.

A black-feathered phoenix.

The same thing happens to everyone; no living being is exempt once they have their eyes on Li Changzhou.

A Celestial Realm expert merges with the will of Heaven, making their divine sense not only powerful and robust, but also protected by the will of Heaven, preventing any dark forces from descending.

Even the spirit Buddha, who only turned the corpses into a skeleton, survived this judgment.

However, all those at the Earth Immortal level—including the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, Chang'e, the Hundred Flower Fairy, Indra, Venus, and the Little Martial Saint—were, without exception, tainted with the aura of black mist, just like phoenixes.

A few creatures that remained conscious under the impact of a million magical powers failed the judgment, their eyes turned pure black, and a black handprint was imprinted on their brows.

The aura of these creatures was at least twice as strong as before, and even ten times stronger.

The price paid was the loss of self, becoming a slave to the black mist.

Below the level of Celestial Immortal, and unlike the extraordinary beings like the Spirit Buddha, only Yaochi and Li Qianxia are exceptions.

Having survived one attack, Yaochi immediately changed her strategy and used "Favored Concubine," causing the black mist to dissipate on its own.

Li Qianxia did not resist the black mist.

The black mist didn't attack; instead, a black hand descended from the dark clouds, grabbing the giant Kun and the roc and forcibly binding them together.

The golden roc and the black giant kun transformed into two streams of energy, swirling into a tai chi symbol, with Li Qianxia herself seated cross-legged in the center of the tai chi diagram.

"Am I visualizing myself?" Li Qianxia asked in surprise.

Everyone opened their eyes and began to breathe heavily, as if they were drowning people surfacing.

"This...this is?" The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden could not hide her shock.

On Chang'e's face, which was as pure as ice and as flawless as jade, expressions of panic and doubt flickered.

Behind her, in order to resist the full moon that was stained black by the aura of millions of magical powers, it turned into a black moon!

In the distance, a humanoid black mist, filling the sky, stood silently between heaven and earth.

The city of Shanhai remained shrouded in darkness, with only a faint halo of light visible from the three giant sun pythons in the sky.

If one were a mortal, one could see nothing but the blue energy eyes of the black mist, which were as large as a lake; one would only feel that the sky was dark and the earth was gloomy, the darkest darkness one had ever experienced in one's life.

"How is it?" Li Qianxia asked Yang Qinglan.

Yang Qinglan, being of the Heavenly Rank, knew the situation better than she did.

Yang Qinglan's expression remained unchanged as she intently observed: "The black mist has no limit, but your brother does. His magical power is too strong, and he has been targeted by another divine will, which wants to merge with him."

Li Qianxia's heart immediately clenched, and she put aside the meditation she was doing.

“If all else fails,” Yaochi said, “you can give him [Heavenly Will - Azure Sky]. With his abilities, it’s not impossible for him to comprehend the Heavenly Will at the Spiral Arm level to the Star System level.”

Li Qianxia didn't say anything, she just shook her head gently.

Although Li Changzhou didn't say it, as his younger sister who had been with him since birth, she knew very well that Li Changzhou's goal was also to become the strongest.

If someone possesses a "pseudo-winner's state" but cannot become a "winner," what will happen to them after the "winner" is born?

This wasn't just for himself.

He has people he wants to protect, and he has reasons why he must win everything.

At this moment, Li Changzhou was fighting against the new Heavenly Will. If the intensity of the battle between Phoenix and others and the Black Mist was one, then his was a thousand.

With one million and one year of magical power, it was so powerful that it directly sent down its will to allow Li Changzhou to ascend to the Heavenly Rank.
