Upon hearing the system's notification, Gu Yifeng's spirits lifted, and his eyes continued to receive information, completely unaffected by the advancing lightning figure.
"Azure Dragon Holy Armor, activate!"
Gu Yifeng gave a low shout in his heart, and the Azure Dragon tattoo on his right arm was instantly activated. His Azure Dragon bloodline also slowly started to move, and his whole body was instantly covered with dragon scales. His eyes turned into a pair of azure vertical pupils.
This is just the beginning; he has much more to his deck than this.
"The Nine Transformations of Xuanming, First Transformation, Activate!"
Gu Yifeng let out another low shout, and a layer of dark color covered his body, concealing the blue scales. This was obtained from the Xuanwu inheritance, and the first transformation was called the Xuan Turtle Transformation.
The effect is simple and direct: it can forcibly raise a cultivator's cultivation level by one minor realm, while also increasing their defense and the self-healing effect of injuries during this period.
With the two skills that enhanced his strength, Gu Yifeng finally relaxed a little.
After confronting the Thunder Phoenix for a moment, the Phoenix instantly rushed out. Before it even arrived, several three-colored lightning bolts struck.
Seeing the information trajectory constantly synchronized by the Eye of Concealment, Gu Yifeng could only forcibly suppress the urge to dodge. At the hilt of his icy longsword, icy chains instantly pierced out and collided with the lightning.
Absolute Zero was unleashed, instantly shattering the attack. After easily neutralizing the offensive, the Phoenix Lord finally arrived in front of her. With a calm punch, a phoenix cry rang out.
The lightning transformed into flames, completely enveloping the area around Ancient Peak.
As the Phoenix Lord's attack drew ever closer, the information from the Hidden Eye indicated that the chances of a successful attack were increasing, while the routes to evade the attack were dwindling.
In another instant, just a moment before the raging lightning and fire reached Gu Yifeng, the ice blade in his hand suddenly flashed and condensed into a brand new longsword, his natal sword—the Mountain and River Sword.
"The Sword Technique of Time—I exchange time for time!"
Gu Yifeng let out a low shout, and the Mountain and River Sword in his hand instantly went berserk. He thrust out the sword and, just as the Thunder Phoenix Lord's old power was gone and new power had not yet been generated, he instantly pierced the heart.
As the power of time erupted, the spiritual energy within his body was continuously consumed. This sword strike contained the power of a full hundred years of time, but it did not deduct from Gu Yifeng's lifespan.
Don't forget, he has ten more reincarnations in the Taihang Mountains.
These ten lifetimes spanned a thousand years, each sword strike lasting a hundred years. The Thunder Phoenix Lord was utterly powerless against it, instantly disintegrating under the power of time and vanishing completely. It then transformed into a mark and disappeared back into the tribulation clouds.
Just as the tribulation clouds were about to dissipate, Gu Yifeng had no intention of letting the matter rest. He transformed into a gluttonous beast and unleashed a terrifying suction force from his mouth.
His mouth was like a vortex, constantly absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy. The tribulation clouds had not yet dissipated, but they were forcibly drawn into it, and the dark clouds were sucked into it.
After absorbing only three breaths, Gu Yifeng immediately reverted to his original form, quickly retreated, and used his spatial power to teleport back to Mount Sumeru.
The next moment, a bolt of heavenly lightning struck the spot where Gu Yifeng had been standing. However, without the pull of the devouring power, the remaining tribulation clouds slowly dissipated, and this tribulation was finally passed safely.
"Uncle Chi, is there a Time Realm? Quick, if this continues, I'm going to explode."
Seeing that the Heavenly Dao did not react further, Gu Yifeng's eyes widened, blood vessels appeared on his forehead, and his face turned red as he spoke to Chi Xuanshan.
Don't underestimate the power of those tribulation clouds; the spiritual energy they contain is extremely compressed, which is why they appear as black as ink.
He had just pushed the Devouring Heaven Record to its limit to barely snatch that piece. He even pushed the Devouring Heaven Record to its limit and broke through to the sixth acupoint, which gave him a little time to fight for it.
However, if he continued to stay on the mountain, Gu Yifeng would explode and die within an hour at most.
“Nephew! Oh dear, come with me.”
Chi Xuanshan was both amused and exasperated. This was the first time he had ever seen a cultivator who wanted to defy the Heavenly Dao. If others could survive the Heavenly Tribulation, they would be grateful to the Heavenly Dao for the rest of their lives.
Gu Yifeng was the only one who couldn't stand it and even dared to bite back at Tianjie. Looking across the continent, he was truly the first person to do so.
However, since his nephew was now in a life-or-death crisis, Chi Xuanshan dared not delay and dragged him toward the volcano.
This time, the two of them arrived at the bottom of the lava lake in just ten breaths. The Vermilion Bird Secret Realm opened again, and Chi Xuanshan and Gu Yifeng entered it together. After another incense stick's time, the two of them arrived at an altar in the secret realm.
Similar to the altar at the entrance to the secret realm, it also consists of nine stones arranged in a circle, with feathers attached to three of them. However, these three feathers are colored and are not fossils.
Each one was five-colored and carried a mysterious aura. Chi Xuanshan didn't have time to explain and directly used his secret technique again to send it onto the altar. The next moment, he entered a world enveloped by a light barrier.
Before Gu Yifeng could react, the scenery before him suddenly changed. The originally barren red mountains were now covered in endless green, lush and verdant, completely different from the barren mountains in the Vermilion Bird Secret Realm.
"Welcome to the Five-Colored Light Realm. As a young cultivator recognized by the Vermilion Bird Clan, how long will you cultivate here?"
A melodious voice rang out, and then several options appeared before Gu Yifeng's eyes. In this secret realm of time, one could exchange one's lifespan for something else.
For the Vermilion Bird clan, one day of lifespan can be exchanged for one year, while for non-Vermilion Bird clan members, one day of lifespan can only be exchanged for half a year.
Compared to the Time Realm within Dragon Gate, time flows more slowly in this realm, but the cost is correspondingly much higher.
Gu Yifeng had a dazzling array of choices before him, but in the end he still chose to exchange three months for forty-five years. After all, he still had to go to the Three Pure Alliance, and three months later would be the day he would fulfill his agreement with the Three Pure Alliance and return to see them.
After making his selection, a ray of spiritual light was drawn from his body, making him feel as if he had lost three months of his life. However, the obstacles in front of him disappeared, and he easily entered the mountain forest.
Without the slightest hesitation, Gu Yifeng immediately sat down cross-legged and began cultivating.
The immense energy within his body was impossible to absorb easily, so he could only unleash two avatars to cultivate and refine the vast power within him.
In order to digest the spiritual energy in his body as quickly as possible, Gu Yifeng simply refined the spiritual energy in his dantian, freeing up some space for the spiritual energy to circulate, before slowly opening his eyes and getting up.
What needs to be done now is to digest the spiritual energy in the body as much as possible on its own.
Without the slightest hesitation, Gu Yifeng practiced all the techniques and moves he knew and then put them into practice.
After almost a day, he finally stopped and started activating the system to sign in.
"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have successfully checked in. The check-in location has been detected as: Five-Colored Realm. You have received the reward: Five-Colored Thunder Flame Refining Stone."
