The crimson flames on the tip of the first arrow flickered wildly, but were quickly worn down and disintegrated by the torrent of water needles.

Then, the second, the third, and the other flaming arrows followed suit.

The intense heat continuously evaporated the rainwater, creating a constant hissing sound as it evaporated, yet it still couldn't budge the millions of water droplets by the slightest, as the difference in quantity was simply too great.

The moment the arrow pierces the sea of ​​water needles, it's like sinking into a viscous and deadly swamp; it's only a matter of time before it runs out of energy and can't move.

Seeing this, Li Yu drew his bow again and nocked an arrow, the bowstring vibrating once more!

This time, ten arrows were fired simultaneously!

Ten streaks of crimson-gold light instantly dispersed, shooting towards Zhao Jianan from different tricky angles.

"A mere trifle!" Zhao Jianan urged gently.

The water needles flew in all directions, engulfing all the arrows in an instant.

Sizzle—!

The flaming arrows weaved wildly through the torrent of water needles, leaving trails of white steam as they tried to bypass the direct attack.

Unfortunately, this destructive tide composed of water needles was too vast, leaving almost no blind spots!

The crimson arrows transformed into molten iron in the water, yet they ultimately could not break through this all-encompassing blockade.

The large number of water needles not only successfully blocked the physical penetration, but also frantically eroded the crimson flames at the energy level.

The ten arrows fired in unison were also pushed back by the relentless onslaught of millions of water needles.

Li Yu raised an eyebrow slightly, then a thought occurred to her;

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Ten loud explosions rang out in succession in the sea of ​​water!

Each arrow explodes like a bomb, clearing out a large area, and countless water needles within that area are instantly evaporated!

However, the spectacular explosion did not move Zhao Jianan.

"It's no use! A death throes..." Zhao Jianan's face was contorted with arrogance.

After the explosion subsided, even denser water needles, seemingly endless, poured out from the rain curtain surrounding Zhao Jianan, quickly filling the gaps created by the explosion and rapidly contracting, trapping Li Yu and the phoenix bird tightly in the core.

"Bury!" Zhao Jianan roared, pressing down with both hands!

The billions of water needles suddenly accelerated, transforming into solidified, raging waves of needles that crushed towards Li Yu.

The deep blue water washed away the heat waves, extinguishing the crimson light reflecting in the sky and completely engulfing the entire expanse.

Faced with this overwhelming offensive and the swarm of bees and needles that were closing in to kill them!

Even Li Yu, who had been calm before, nodded slightly, her tone carrying an undisguised admiration:

"To be able to utilize water-based abilities to such an extent, one's control over water elements is even stronger than that of the Deep Sea Watcher!"

"You, Zhao Jianan, are the strongest water-powered user I have ever seen!"

Li Yu's praise came from the bottom of her heart; the range and power of the Sea of ​​Water Needles were both top-notch!

It can also completely suppress or even extinguish ordinary flame arrows.

Zhao Jianan's mastery of water-based superpowers is indeed unparalleled.

However, Li Yu's tone immediately changed, and that hint of admiration turned into cold regret:

"It's just... a pity..."

Li Yu didn't finish her sentence.

If Zhao Jianan had suddenly unleashed this move before the phoenix arrived, he might have been completely suppressed by the countless water needles using only the Phoenix Bow.

Because these tiny water needles that can absorb energy are not something that can be easily dealt with by fire arrows enchanted with crimson gold energy alone.

Perhaps we need to change the Phoenix Bow's attributes and go all out to have a chance of winning a battle of this level.

But now... there is a far stronger existence beside him than this heaven-defying "ordinary water"!

With a thought, Li Yu's abdominal vortex began to spin wildly, instantly resonating with the Phoenix's primordial power!

"唳——!"

The phoenix let out a resounding cry that pierced through the heavens and split the earth!

The next moment, platinum flames erupted from its body, the pure flames containing the power of the laws of purification and destruction!

Thousands of flames ignited instantly, and the firelight once again illuminated the sky.

Like the rising sun, shining brightly!

"Phoenix Flame!" Li Yu shouted, perfectly synchronized with the will of the phoenix!

The phoenix's enormous wings flapped suddenly!

Endless platinum flames, like the primordial fire that created the world, transformed into a fiery storm that swept across the heavens and earth, crashing fiercely into the onrushing [Rainfall Sky Burial]!

"Boom—!!!"

When water and fire collide, the violent explosion leads to an even more terrifying annihilation!

Wherever the platinum flames passed, the billions of water needles were constantly neutralized by the flames. Even though countless raindrops instantly turned into new water needles to fill the gaps, they were still scorched by the flames and could never completely extinguish the raging fire.

The white-gold flames had created a huge vacuum around Li Yu, preventing any moisture from penetrating it.

The light in the phoenix's eyes surged once more.

Its blazing, white-gold body transformed directly into the most dazzling core in the world.

At this moment, light and heat reached a terrifying critical point.

The raging storm that stretched across the heavens and earth was suddenly infused with boundless power, and it expanded rapidly outward!

*Screech!*

At this moment, the phoenix was like a huge, eternally burning furnace. The platinum divine fire it emitted actually ignited the water needles that were sweeping across the sky, quickly turning them into water vapor that filled the air.

Fire ignited the water!

This is an absolute crushing of superior status! It's complete restraint at the level of rules!

"No! This is impossible!"

Zhao Jianan watched as his strongest killing move was broken by the phoenix and let out an incredulous roar.

He had killed countless strange beasts in his life, so how could this mere firebird beast be his match!

And why does it possess such extraordinary fire power?

But the cruel reality was right in front of him: Li Yu didn't even move, and the firebird alone evaporated his Rainfall Burial.

The Hei brothers and other elders of the Longevity Sect, who were not far away, were also dumbfounded, their minds blank.

They were as if they were witnessing a folk tale unfold before their eyes, and they were unable to come to their senses for a long time.

Zhao Jianan, being an old monster who had lived for a long time, quickly composed himself after a brief moment of extreme shock. His brows furrowed tightly as he stared intently at the phoenix and Li Yu, and said in a deep voice:

"This is no ordinary flying beast. And you, Li Yu, your abilities are completely different from the Awakened's system!"

In that one exchange alone, he keenly perceived the fundamental difference.

Li Yu and the power of this firebird were filled with an unfamiliar aura.

Its energy level and quality far exceeded any kind of superpower he was aware of!

Even those legendary awakeners who claim to be above the ninth rank still derive their energy from the supernatural ability system.

He had seen exceptions before, but this ability, which far exceeded his own strength, was clearly abnormal and had even broken away from the system.

Zhao Jianan had a sudden thought.
