As the demonic energy grew stronger and stronger, continuously emanating from the cave, most of the Five Peaks were shrouded in it. The Five Peaks, which were originally covered with sycamore trees, were turning into withered branches at a visible speed.
"How... how can there be so much demonic energy?" Feng Qing, who had rushed over, was shocked and quickly mobilized her divine power to resist the demonic energy.
“It’s those two eggs!” Feng Rong explained first. “This demonic energy comes from those two unawakened eggs.”
"What!" Not only Feng Qing, but all the phoenixes were shocked. "This... how is this possible? How could demonic energy appear inside a phoenix egg?!"
"I don't know either!" Feng Rong replied while summoning a barrier to isolate the demonic energy. "Perhaps the egg doesn't contain a phoenix at all!"
The phoenixes were taken aback. Not the phoenix clan? Could it be the demon clan?
Before they could think it through, a cry suddenly came from the cave filled with demonic energy. It was the familiar sound of a phoenix, but it was exceptionally sharp and piercing, reaching straight to their primordial spirits. All the phoenixes felt a pain in their ears and quickly guarded their minds to resist the shriek.
The next moment, a loud bang resounded, and the cave in front of them collapsed. A huge black shadow suddenly burst out of the hole and shot straight into the sky. Its black wings, mixed with the surrounding demonic energy, covered most of the Five Peaks. Around the huge figure, there were black lightning bolts full of demonic energy, crackling and spreading the demonic energy everywhere.
“This is… Lei Feng?!” You You was stunned for a moment.
Feng Rong's face darkened immediately, and she shouted a warning, "He has already fallen into demonic possession! This is a demonic phoenix!" After saying that, she was the first to transform into her original form and rush forward.
The Phoenix Clan members were also stunned, their eyes widening in disbelief. Feng Qing, however, reacted quickly, summoning a large amount of flames while loudly reminding everyone, "The Thunder Phoenix has become possessed by a demon, we can't let it leave here!" After saying that, she transformed back into her original form and flew up, flitting to the left and right with Feng Rong. Wherever they went, large areas of flames ignited, as if trying to create a wall of fire to block the phoenix's path.
The other phoenixes also snapped out of their daze and transformed into their original forms, rushing forward to try and stop the thunder phoenix covered in demonic energy. However, the phoenix seemed completely unaware of its own kind, letting out another shriek and forcing the flying phoenixes back. The black lightning around it seemed to be activated, lashing down even more fiercely.
Suddenly, thunderous roars filled the air, and sand and stones flew everywhere across the five peaks. Even the nearby protective mountain array became unstable, and the entire True Evolution Sect shook.
"Xiao You!"
"metropolitan!"
Yuan Qi and Ling Qi also rushed over, looking around in shock at everything, including the black phoenix in the sky. "This... what is this?"
"Ling Qi, immediately have all disciples move away from the five peaks and gather in the main hall on the main peak," You You ordered in a deep voice. "Have Nie Zheng activate the immortal array in the hall to prevent the demonic energy from spreading over there!"
Ling Qi glanced at the sky filled with demonic energy, and nodded without hesitation, "Yes, Sect Master!" Without pausing for a moment, he turned and flew out of the Five Peaks.
“Father Yuan!” You You turned to Yuan Qi and said, “Could you modify the Five Peaks Formation to lock this demonic energy within the Five Peaks as much as possible?”
“Alright, I’ll give it a try.” Yuan Qi nodded, and with a flick of his wrist, he began to manipulate his divine power into hand seals. At the same time, he looked up at the dark figure in the sky with concern. The formation could lock in the demonic energy, but… it might not be able to lock in the Thunder Phoenix that had become a demon above.
Yuan Qi moved with incredible speed. In less than half a moment, massive arrays appeared one after another on the five peaks. The arrays constantly shifted, forming a transparent protective barrier that enveloped the entire five peaks. The demonic energy that had been spreading towards the peaks was instantly locked within the arrays.
The formation grew increasingly solid, and the wall of fire summoned by Feng Rong and Feng Qing expanded, threatening to completely close in and block out the entire sky. You You also summoned her spirit sword and flew up to help. The thunder phoenix in the sky seemed to sense something; it swept its broad wings, suddenly stopped its frenzied barrage of lightning, let out a long cry, and mobilized a large amount of demonic energy to fly rapidly upwards.
"It wants to leave!" Feng Rong reacted instantly, quickly drawing out the flames. "Stop it!"
Feng Qing immediately quickened her pace, using all her divine power to summon a wall of fire. You You directly summoned thousands of spirit swords, forming a sword wall that blocked a large area of the sky above.
The possessed thunder phoenix showed no sign of stopping, completely ignoring their attempts to stop it, and charged even faster into the sky. Just as it was about to crash into the sword formation and wall of fire in front of it, suddenly a flash of light appeared around it, and the air twisted for a moment, as if something had been opened. The enormous black phoenix vanished abruptly from everyone's sight.
"..."
Feng Rong and Feng Qing transformed back into human form and rushed over, their faces as black as the bottom of a pot. Feng Qing, in particular, said with disbelief, "What just happened was..."
"Torn through the void!" Feng Rong gritted her teeth and said, not expecting that the other party would have such an ability so soon after waking up.
"..."
Once the possessed Lei Feng disappeared, the surging demonic energy atop the five peaks gradually calmed down. Its appearance was sudden, and its disappearance even more so; no matter how hard everyone tried to sense it, they couldn't detect a single trace of it.
"Sect Master, Feng'er... what exactly was that just now..." Rong's mother walked over, looking at her son with concern, then at You You. Even now, the Phoenix Clan members still didn't understand what was going on.
“Those two eggs!” Feng Rong turned to look at the collapsed cave. “The demon-possessed phoenix must have come from those eggs.”
Everyone's expressions darkened before they descended in that direction. Feng Qing immediately made a few hand seals to clear away the collapsed rocks and dispel the demonic energy inside.
