Chapter 264
Wuwei saw that she used the ancient karmic fire within her body to summon a breath from the Yuanfeng.
At the beginning of the chaos in the Six Realms, the breath of the Primordial Phoenix, which could dispel the miasma of the world, was something that a mere Heavenly Thunder Dragon could not withstand.
The Heavenly Thunder Flood Dragon sensed the aura of destruction and had just begun to think of escaping when it was firmly grasped by the sharp claws of the blurry Yuan Phoenix image.
Amidst the mingling of karmic fire and ashes, the Thunder Dragon let out a painful cry.
The tip of Yuan Feng's claw gleamed with a cold light. With a phoenix cry, the heavens and earth trembled violently. The dark clouds in the sky were also dispersed by its flames, just like the scene when it dispersed the miasma of the six realms ten thousand years ago.
The thunder dragon's breath grew weak and slow; it could no longer struggle.
It raised its head and let out a final cry, as if pleading for help.
But Yuan Feng gave the Thunder Dragon no chance to call for help. The next moment, she tore its head apart with her indestructible claws. The Thunder Dragon stared with its blood-red eyes, but could only watch as its body suddenly disintegrated!
After the Heavenly Thunder Dragon died, Yuan Feng casually threw its body into the collapsed abyss.
The phoenix, burning with karmic fire, roared and soared into the sky, flapping its wings and dispelling the endless, gloomy clouds.
During the reign of Emperor Min, the mountains and rivers were somewhat stabilized.
The Pure Lotus seemed to be within easy reach.
But just then, as the dark clouds in the sky had been half dispersed, more than a dozen thunderclaps suddenly rang out. Ying Ning looked up and sensed an invisible hand piercing through the dark clouds and crashing down!
It was a power that was intangible yet commanded absolute submission.
The brutal and oppressive voice was deafening:
"Who is it?!"
"Dare to touch my divine artifact?"
The unconscious dragon stirred slightly.
Yuan Feng turned and charged toward the source of the sound, its sharp claws icy cold. It opened its mouth and unleashed an endless karmic fire breath, but unexpectedly, a seemingly effortless attack from the other party completely blocked Yuan Feng's karmic fire breath!
The mysterious man also noticed Yuan Feng's power and said in a cold, surprised voice:
"Divine power?"
Upon realizing Yuan Feng's presence, the invisible giant hand attempted to break through the boundary barrier and crush Yuan Feng's image in its palm.
But for some reason, his power seemed to be restricted.
Now, in the lower realm, he can only fight against the image of Yuan Feng.
Yuan Feng couldn't do anything to him, and he couldn't just easily destroy it either.
Despite being hindered by the boundary barrier, the mysterious figure still spoke arrogantly:
"I never imagined that someone in the tiny human realm would dare to have designs on the Pure Lotus."
He brushed away the dark clouds, intending to see the faces of Ying Ning and her group, but discovered that an impenetrable barrier was actually enveloping the Pure Lotus.
He couldn't even see the faces of these thieves.
The mysterious man sneered:
"Mere ants."
"You dare to play tricks on me?!"
He swung his hand forcefully, trying to break the barrier, but the Yuanfeng Dharma Image seized the opportunity and pecked off a piece of his palm, causing his spiritual energy to dissipate.
But with another wave of his hand, large cracks appeared in the barrier.
Wuwei's lips tightened slightly, revealing faint traces of blood.
Ying Ning unleashed her spiritual power, causing the magic array beneath her to shine brightly. The phoenix statue in mid-air grew even larger once more, soaring with its head held high, its cry echoing through the heavens.
"Your magical artifact?" Ying Ning nodded slightly.
"Is stealing a spiritual vein of a realm something that a high and mighty lord should do?" Her eyes were cold, and even the red spider lilies by her ear seemed to have a chilling quality.
The mysterious man, upon hearing Ying Ning's words, showed no shame or panic at being exposed, but instead sneered disdainfully:
"How can a mortal from one realm be worthy of the spiritual veins of the six realms?"
"In terms of cultivation, I have no talent."
"In terms of spiritual bones, they are lowly and fragile."
"They are nothing but insects; a hundred years of life is but a blink of an eye."
“In the human realm, only a few people can ascend to immortality through spiritual veins over the past hundred years. Such a waste of heavenly resources is better spent on spiritual veins, which would be more beneficial to my vast cultivation journey.”
"In that case, it can be considered to have served its purpose, albeit barely."
If only mortals cultivate immortality, what does that have to do with him?
The mysterious figure, unwilling to waste any more words, swung his palm at the barrier surrounding Ying Ning and the others. The barrier was almost covered in spider cracks, and Wuwei's body trembled slightly.
The monk continued chanting Buddhist mantras rapidly, maintaining the barrier that was on the verge of breaking.
But to his surprise, Yingning refuted him at this moment:
"You've also set your sights on insects and beasts, haven't you?"
"The Venerable One is truly shameless, acting as both a villain and a patron, even the gatekeeper of the Immortal Realm, Dapi Beast, is willing to admit defeat."
"Then, how are you any different from an insect?"
The Dapi Beast is a guardian beast of the Celestial Realm, and it is quite tough and thick-skinned.
Upon hearing Ying Ning's words, he immediately felt insulted. He thought that for thousands of years he had held a high position, and when had anyone ever dared to compare him with that beast, Da Pi?
"Arrogant brat."
"How dare you insult me!"
"I will make you know what it feels like to be reduced to ashes and have your seven souls and six spirits devoured by evil spirits in the six realms of reincarnation."
His power is brutal and ferocious.
The phoenix cried out and took flight.
The phoenix spewed out a stream of karmic fire from its beak, instantly illuminating the darkness ahead. The karmic fire, like a fiery dragon, lunged at the giant hand, its claws outstretched, shattering all spiritual energy in its path.
Yingning made a hand seal, and Yuanfeng's gaze immediately revealed majesty and domineering power. Its body became more and more distinct, no longer a blurry afterimage.
Beneath the phoenix, crimson flowers bloomed everywhere.
Her silhouette vaguely resembled that of a phoenix, and the shimmering flowers at the corners of her eyes seemed to blaze with karmic fire.
This person is the only one that can be seen between heaven and earth.
Wuwei witnessed this scene, understood what was happening, and exclaimed in amazement:
"This humble monk should have thought of that sooner."
"The remnant soul within the Yuanfeng Karmic Fire has still been refined by you, benefactor."
With her talent, this is how it should be.
An invisible hand descended from the sky, obliterating the altar. Outside the altar, a figure in a flowing dress radiated a chilling killing intent as she wielded a whip that entangled with that invisible force.
The phoenix soared, and karmic fire entangled its large palm.
The mysterious man's power in the human realm had already been partially devoured by Yuan Feng, making his attack even more disadvantageous. He was caught off guard and entangled by the ever-present whip, which fiercely cleaved three of his fingers!
That force turned to attack Ying Ning, but Yuan Feng once again found an opening.
By the time the mysterious man realized what was happening, the spiritual veins of the mortal realm were already trembling slightly. He instinctively reacted, and a frenzied voice rang out:
"You dare?!"
"Knowing your own lowliness, how dare you covet my divine artifact!" The person on the other end panicked.
The Pure Lotus here was the oldest one he had ever planted. It had absorbed most of the spiritual energy from the human world's spiritual veins, but at this crucial moment, it was stolen by someone else!
Yingning tightened her grip on the long whip, the other end of which was a pure white lotus flower. She chuckled softly:
"How can such an evil object be called a divine artifact?"
"If that's the case, then let someone as insignificant as me ruin it." Without further hesitation, she gently yanked the Pure Lotus up by the roots and placed it to her lips.
Yingning took a small bite and immediately felt a continuous stream of powerful spiritual energy filling her body.
The words of those in the clouds are malicious:
"My dear——!"
"I'm going to kill you, you bitch!!"
With a downward slash, the vast spiritual energy was filled with deadly intent.
This attack possesses destructive power capable of sweeping across the world. Although the power imprisoned by the realm is not as great as it was back then, it was still established by the Heavenly Dao to maintain the balance of the six realms during the chaotic period of the six realms.
The sound of the earth cracking came from beneath the giant palm, while the blood-red flowers scattered across the sky were shattered by the spiritual energy surrounding Ying Ning. She spoke softly, gazing at the location of the mysterious figure, her voice resounding:
"With my soul—"
"The power to summon the gods."
"With my blood, I pledge my divine power—"
Yingning stroked the red spider lily beside her ear. Her moon-like face was stained with blood, giving it a chilling quality. When she spoke again, her voice seemed to carry a hint of divine pity:
"With my body, I will bear the spiritual veins of the human world."
The red spider lilies emitted a faint golden light, which was clearly a power from ancient times.
The mysterious person from another realm felt that his power in the human realm was being tightly trapped and could not be withdrawn at all. What reached his ears across the realm was a cold female voice.
For the first time in ten thousand years, he felt a slight unease.
