boom!
The Phoenix Ancestor's Phoenix Essence Fire could burn everything in its path to nothingness.
The Phoenix Nest instantly burst into flames, and the Golden Lion Emperor immediately swallowed the Phoenix Fruit and began to circulate the Nirvana Heart Sutra.
The terrifying heatwave was unbearable even for him, a True Immortal at the Great Perfection stage, and he couldn't help but let out a heart-palpitating lion's roar.
Seeing the Emperor's pained expression, Huang Ling'er felt heartbroken and shed tears.
Xiao Yanran, who was standing nearby, comforted her:
"Sister Ling'er, don't worry, Brother Lion will be alright!"
As he spoke, he pulled her out of the Phoenix Ancestral Temple. Next, the Yellow Emperor would experience a Nirvana journey that was even more painful than purgatory. If Huang Ling'er kept watching, she would probably be crying every day.
"Roar~"
The Yellow Emperor couldn't help but let out a painful lion's roar. His flesh was burned to ashes, and his internal organs and meridians had long since melted under the scorching heat of the phoenix's essence fire.
Only his head remained stubbornly intact; the phoenix fruit protected the Yellow Emperor's primordial spirit, preventing it from perishing.
The intense burning lasted for a month.
The Yellow Emperor persevered through gritted teeth.
Seeing this, the Great Sage exclaimed:
"Brother Lion is really going all out. He survived a month of being burned by the Phoenix Essence Fire."
The Great Sage was once refined by the Samadhi True Fire for a full forty-nine days, and he had a deep understanding of that feeling, although he could not break the Golden God and the Fiery Eyes.
But whenever he recalls that experience, the Great Sage cannot help but feel terrified.
The fire that the Yellow Emperor experienced was the Phoenix Essence Fire, which is a hundred times more powerful than the Samadhi True Fire.
At this moment, the Great Sage had immense admiration for the Yellow Emperor. The fact that he could endure this showed his determination to become an Immortal King.
Even Qiongqi admired the Yellow Emperor's resilience and willpower.
Ling Yun said solemnly:
"If it were just to achieve the status of Immortal King, Brother Lion wouldn't be working so hard. He's doing it for the entire Lion Clan, to bring the Lion Clan to an unprecedented height and make it a powerful race among the demons that can rival the Tiger Clan."
That's his true motivation.
Upon hearing this, Qiongqi and the Great Sage were even more impressed. For the sake of the evolution of their race, the Yellow Emperor was willing to endure a nirvana more terrifying than purgatory.
At this moment, the golden lion's skeleton had turned to ashes, with only its head hanging high above the phoenix nest.
The Phoenix Flame was still burning, and Yan Ruyu spoke:
"Brother Lion drank the essence of the phoenix tree to rebuild his physical strength!"
The Yellow Emperor swallowed the essence of the paulownia tree, and the patterns of his meridians, internal organs, and bones appeared below his neck.
The essence of the phoenix tree flowed down his neck, and wherever it passed, his physical body manifested. In a quarter of an hour, the Yellow Emperor's physical body was completely reshaped.
It was obvious that his frame was two sizes larger, making him look extremely robust and imposing.
In the demon race, the size of the skeleton is a measure of one's talent, and the Yellow Emperor's skeleton now far surpasses that of countless terrifying demons.
It's incredibly oppressive!
Yan Ruyu continued speaking:
"Brother Lion, what follows is a true journey of rebirth, and you will suffer a hundred times more pain than before."
Success or failure hinges on this one battle; success means becoming a celestial king; failure means becoming a withered corpse!
"Let's begin!" The Yellow Emperor's eyes were resolute as he swallowed the most important Nirvana Fruit.
The next moment!
boom!
Yan Ruyu flicked out a drop of her life essence blood.
Instantly, the Phoenix Essence Fire blazed fiercely, causing the temperature of the entire training ground to surge.
At the same time, his life essence and blood emitted a terrifying power of rebirth, like a heavy hammer beginning to forge the Yellow Emperor's bones and break his shackles.
Like forging a sword, it requires countless hammer blows and refinements.
"Roar~"
The golden lion couldn't help but roar, its roar filled with extreme pain.
Throughout the entire Phoenix Ancestral Land, the Yellow Emperor's almost mournful roar could be heard from every corner.
Although no one experienced it firsthand, just hearing the lion's roar made them feel the pain of Nirvana, which was no less than the incineration furnace of the eighteenth level of hell.
Even Lingyun, Qiongqi, and the Great Sage felt heartbroken upon hearing this and turned their heads away, unable to bear seeing the Yellow Emperor's miserable state.
"Brother Lion is so pitiful!" the Great Sage sighed.
"Sigh~ Yes, once the Nirvana is successful, we must make sure Lion Brother eats plenty of good food to replenish his strength."
Qiongqi spoke with an air of importance.
The rebirth lasted for three whole months, and the Yellow Emperor persevered through those three months with gritted teeth.
Three months later!
boom!
An aura that dominated the seas and shook the eight wastelands rapidly spread to countless universes from the Phoenix Ancestral Dojo as its center.
"Roar~"
A lion's roar, as powerful as a dragon's cry, instantly shattered countless galaxies.
The Golden Lion Emperor has successfully undergone Nirvana.
He achieved the status of a Celestial King.
At this moment, a golden lion, a thousand feet tall like a majestic peak, stands proudly in the Phoenix Nest, its pure golden mane dyeing the entire universe golden.
His eyes radiated an arrogance and domineering aura that seemed to look down upon the heavens and reign supreme for eternity.
The terrifying power of the demon king was comparable to that of the immortal king-level white tiger.
"roar!"
"roar!"
"roar!"
Unable to contain his excitement, the Yellow Emperor let out one lion's roar after another.
boom!
Huang Ling'er instantly exuded a terrifying aura, her bloodline sublimating along with the Yellow Emperor's breakthrough.
At the same time, the bloodlines of all lion races in the myriad realms surged violently at this moment, and regardless of their type, their bloodlines advanced significantly.
The Golden Lion Clan officially entered the ranks of royalty.
On this day, all the heavens and myriad realms roared like lions.
All living beings know that the Golden Lion Clan has produced a peerless powerhouse at the level of a Celestial King.
Sigh~
The Buddha, twirling the prayer beads in his hands, couldn't help but sigh softly. He knew that the Yellow Emperor had entered the realm of the Immortal King, and a moment of regret crossed his heart.
But it was too late.
In the Tang Domain, at the Golden Lion Cave Heaven, the Golden Lion Clan Chief manifested his true form and unleashed a thunderous lion's roar towards the Phoenix Ancestral Land, expressing his joy.
He said to his people:
"Go buy me fireworks! Today I want every mountain in the Tang Domain to be ablaze with fireworks to celebrate my good grandson-in-law becoming a Celestial King!"
...
The Yellow Emperor manifested in human form and descended from the Phoenix Nest.
He was now much taller than before, radiating the aura of a powerful figure from within.
Even the Great Sage was somewhat wary, wondering to himself, "I've beaten the Yellow Emperor so many times, will this guy really retaliate?"
Then, the Yellow Emperor bowed deeply to Yan Ruyu, Ling Yun, and the others:
"Thank you all for protecting me! You have helped me become a Celestial King and lead the Lion Clan to elevate their bloodline!"
Qiongqi raised its large fist and, laughing, punched the Yellow Emperor in the chest, feigning anger, saying:
"Why are you saying that! We're brothers, we're family, isn't it right for me to help you!"
"Hehe!" The Yellow Emperor reverted to his former simple and honest demeanor and laughed:
"Today I have successfully achieved Nirvana and broken through to become an Immortal King. This must be celebrated! All expenses will be paid by me, the Yellow Emperor Immortal King!"
Phoenix Immortal King shook his head and smiled, "You can still spend money in the Phoenix Ancestral Land, but this time, hundreds of billions of Mingtian Divine Phoenix Meat are enough for us to eat for countless years."
The day before the Yellow Emperor's successful Nirvana, A Bao and his companions returned in triumph with the Phoenix Immortal King and slaughtered the entire Mingtian Divine Phoenix Clan.
They almost wiped out the entire clan.
Abao, Lingxi, and Lingshan reaped a great harvest, taking away all the corpses of the Mingtian Divine Phoenixes above the Tribulation Transcending stage.
This clan is the strongest among the chickens, known as the Little Phoenix Clan, and their meat is incredibly delicious.
That evening, all the phoenixes in the entire Phoenix Ancestral Land gathered together to eat the meat of the Heavenly Phoenix and drink fine wine to celebrate the Yellow Emperor's Nirvana.
