In the boundless darkness of the ninth perilous level of the Cliff of Broken Love, a sycamore tree, gleaming with fiery light, swayed wildly, dropping leaves all over the sky. Half the leaves, sharp as needles, pierced the twenty-odd powerful beings outside the canopy; the other half poured into the fireballs beneath the trunk, burrowing into the sides of Luo Jianqing and Xuan Lingzi, fueling the blazing phoenix flames even more fiercely!
Outside the tree canopy, more and more venerables have adapted to the sudden attack of the paulownia leaves. They use magic weapons to block the leaves three feet away from their bodies and soon join the team attacking the red barrier.
The Bai family patriarch thrust his spear forward, its spiritual energy colliding with the red barrier. The Ghost Flame patriarch summoned his spirit banner, sending thousands of fierce ghosts charging towards the red barrier. Several sea lords and demon lords from the demon race, along with elders from major human families and sects like the Divine Sword Sect, totaling over twenty people, gradually began to attack the red barrier, causing it to tremble.
The leaves of the sycamore trees rustled as phoenix shadows leaped out from between the emerald green trunks, charging towards the mighty ones. However, as soon as they emerged from the red barrier, they were crushed by the snow-white Qilin, leaving them powerless to fight back.
The white Qilin roared towards the sky and used its strong and sturdy body to ram into the barrier again and again.
Such stagnation made all the cultivators feel tired and numb. No one knew how long they had been attacking, and no one knew when the barrier would be broken, but they attacked without hesitation because they gradually discovered that a powerful force was slowly emerging from where Luo Jianqing and Xuan Lingzi were.
Du Jue Tian Lao shouted loudly, "The Phoenix Nirvana, after nine deaths, once reborn, its strength doubles! Everyone, we can't let them truly achieve Nirvana. We must kill them before they succeed!"
The Phoenix Clan's secret method of Nirvana is well-known in the Xuantian Continent.
After hearing what Master Du Juetian said, many wavering human cultivators completely believed that the flames surrounding Luo Jianqing and the others were indeed the fire of the phoenix, and that they were really going to achieve nirvana.
The Ghost Flame Ancestor roared angrily, and suddenly forced out a stream of pure green ghost energy from between his fingers, pointing it at his soul-summoning flag, causing the flag to roar with a shrill and miserable ghost howl; Hao Xingzi's eyes also flashed, and without hesitation, he put a drop of essence and blood on the Taihua sword, causing this immortal weapon to shine with dazzling brilliance.
For a moment, lights of various colors shone brightly on Wutong's protective barrier.
The sycamore tree trembled even more violently, and dense leaves fell from its branches, almost like green rain, dyeing everyone's world green. The leaves covered the ground, a full foot thick!
With leaves as flesh and blood, the green leaves gathered together to form a green phoenix.
The phoenix continued to cry loudly, charging frantically towards the group of venerables from the two tribes attacking the barrier. Upon seeing the phoenix, the snow-white Qilin's eyes immediately lit up with a belligerent glint. It roared to the sky with joy, then kicked off with both hooves and flew forward.
A bird and a beast fought each other, and a shocking battle began.
The Leaf Phoenix continuously spewed scorching flames from its mouth, and the Kirin unleashed strong winds to scatter the Phoenix Fire. When the Phoenix flapped its wings to create a fierce wind, the Kirin roared out a scorching fire, breaking through the attack.
Of the three mythical beasts, the dragon clan is the most valiant and fiercest. Each dragon has its own strengths and can control different areas, but the phoenix and qilin are the most similar.
The phoenix and qilin both control wind and fire. The former may also control the power of the earth, and the latter may also control the power of ice. However, those who can control these two are all the emperors of their races, and they have long been extinct 50,000 years ago.
This snow-white Qilin is formed by the Qilin horn and demonic power of Dujue Tianlao.
The green-leafed phoenix, on the other hand, was made of phoenix sycamore leaves, its true phoenix essence merely a trace of the aura left by the True Immortal Chi Yun on his natal sycamore tree. With Chi Yun's death, his soul was shattered, reduced to ashes, leaving no trace of flesh and blood, let alone anything comparable to a unicorn horn.
The battle lasted ten days and nights, the red barrier trembling constantly. The green-leafed phoenix was covered in wounds, and the snow-white unicorn had a broken horn, but they remained vigorous, their eyes gleaming with murderous intent.
And in the blazing phoenix fire, Luo Jianqing guided the only phoenix fire in his body, burning pieces of sycamore leaves, letting the fire engulf himself and Xuan Lingzi.
This huge fire reduced their flesh and blood to ash and their bones to powder. Even the flesh of a cultivator in the Spiritualization Stage would be completely burned by the purest Phoenix Fire, leaving them powerless to fight back.
Luo Jianqing only has a little phoenix flame, but he has the leaves of an entire phoenix tree.
When the two men's bodies were completely burned, only their souls remained, still bathing in the phoenix fire, their palms still pressed against each other.
Xuan Lingzi's spirit was pale, thin, and extremely weak. Meanwhile, Luo Jianqing's Azure Lotus spirit transformed into a humanoid form the moment his physical body was destroyed. He sat cross-legged in the Phoenix Fire with complete autonomy and self-awareness, even seeming to be impatient.
Blazing spiritual power and phoenix fire continued to surge in the bodies of the two. Luo Jianqing concentrated his mind and activated the "Nine Lotuses Record of Heaven", performing the seventh "Rescuing the Reincarnation of All Things", observing the countless cause and effect reincarnation lines on Xuan Lingzi's body.
Dense lines connected Xuan Lingzi's body, pointing to the sky, the earth, the paulownia tree, and Luo Jianqing.
However, the only thing missing was the bright red reincarnation line.
In the scorching Phoenix Fire, Luo Jianqing used all his strength to steady his mind. He controlled the Phoenix Fire to burn the two people's souls in preparation for true Nirvana; at the same time, he controlled a small cluster of Phoenix Fire to approach the center of Xuan Lingzi's soul, and used the rare meaning of reincarnation in the Phoenix Fire to try to create another thread on Xuan Lingzi's body.
