Chapter 631 Trapped in a Desperate Situation!
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
Cimmerian River relied on his powerful physical strength to withstand Phoenix’s attack in mid-air!
At this moment, Han Meiren appeared on Phoenix’s back!
She conjured a black curved blade in her right hand, and as Phoenix’s wings were thrusting forward, she dove down and landed on Phoenix’s back!
Gripping the curved blade tightly, she stabbed downward fiercely!
“Stab!”
The sharp blade instantly pierced Phoenix’s back.
“Woo…”
Phoenix’s entire body shuddered, feeling intense pain, its wings flapping frantically!
“Bang!”
Han Meiren was knocked away by the wings, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood in mid-air.
But she quickly stabilized herself, revealing a cold smile on her face.
This blade was no ordinary weapon, but a Spirit-Cutting Blade forged by Immortal Dao Kong, specifically designed to counter spirit beasts.
It contained corrosive power inside, which could spread quickly through wounds throughout the spirit beast’s body, suppressing the spiritual energy erupting within.
With this strike landing, the Phoenix before them wouldn’t be able to hold out much longer!
“Now’s our chance, continue attacking, it won’t last much longer!” Cimmerian River roared, charging toward Phoenix again.
After suffering that blade strike, Phoenix felt a bone-chilling coldness spreading rapidly through its body.
Facing the joint attack from Cimmerian River and Han Meiren, it gradually struggled to respond.
These two had such nimble movements that it found effective counterattacks difficult.
Gradually, Phoenix began to lose ground!
“Bang!”
Cimmerian River’s fist smashed into Phoenix’s head.
“Crack!”
Han Meiren gripped the Spirit-Cutting Blade, striking again and again at Phoenix’s hardest wings.
“Woo…”
The entire sky echoed with Phoenix’s mournful cry.
Red Lotus stood on the high platform, watching this scene with clenched fists, her entire body trembling.
Phoenix was her ancestral kin, and even though she was ordered not to intervene, she couldn’t obey anymore!
She couldn’t just watch as Phoenix was killed by those two bastards!
Red Lotus let out an angry roar, a powerful aura erupting from her body.
A pair of wings burning with crimson flames unfurled behind her back.
“Whoosh!”
She charged toward Cimmerian River and Han Meiren.
The Phoenix Force Origin hovering above her head continued to follow her.
“Leave this place immediately, go as far as you can! Don’t come here!” Phoenix transmitted upon seeing Red Lotus approaching.
“I can’t leave!” Red Lotus said through gritted teeth, rapidly approaching Han Meiren in mid-air.
“Bang!”
Red Lotus struck Han Meiren’s back with her palm.
“Puff!”
Han Meiren hadn’t anticipated this sneak attack and spat out a large mouthful of blood, her body plummeting straight down to the ground below.
Under normal circumstances, taking such a blow would have left her either dead or unable to stand.
But after consuming the Blood Spirit Pill, this strike was completely manageable for her.
Han Meiren immediately stood up, looked at Red Lotus in the sky, first stunned, then revealed a crazed smile.
“It’s actually another Phoenix clan spirit beast… I understand now, this spirit realm was opened to wait for this Phoenix being, they want to complete the Phoenix Origin inheritance!” Han Meiren said to Cimmerian River.
Cimmerian River’s heart trembled as he looked at Red Lotus in mid-air, immediately understanding Han Meiren’s explanation!
At the same time, a smile appeared on his face.
This was excellent! Truly excellent!
Before coming here, he had no idea this was the spirit realm of the Phoenix clan, nor did he expect to encounter two Phoenix clan spirit beasts, and even what appeared to be the origin essence of the divine Phoenix!
Now, they could capture everything in one swoop!
“It’s time to bring out the supreme artifact bestowed by the Immortal,” Cimmerian River said, looking at Phoenix and Red Lotus before him, revealing a cold smile.
…
When Fang Yu was passing through the spatial tunnel, problems ultimately arose.
The spatial tunnel built on intuition had two sections that didn’t connect properly.
This caused Fang Yu to be thrown out halfway through the spatial tunnel journey.
Now, Fang Yu found himself outside of all major spaces.
In such a situation, anyone else would have been compressed into meat paste by the forces of various spaces.
But Fang Yu’s physical body forcibly withstood this compression, standing firm within the endless space.
“It’s fine, that spiritual energy trail is still quite obvious. I just need to build another spatial tunnel and can easily locate it again.”
Fang Yu closed his eyes and began using the Space Spirit Ring to construct another spatial tunnel.
…
Cimmerian River took out a bronze bell the size of a fist from his storage pouch.
This was the artifact bestowed by Immortal Dao Kong, specifically designed to deal with spirit beasts—the Spirit Subduing Bell!
“You have no chance now,” Cimmerian River sneered.
His right hand emitted a bit of true energy, infusing it into the Spirit Subduing Bell.
“Hum!”
The Spirit Subduing Bell immediately emitted a resonant sound, then burst forth with dazzling light!
Then, the entire Spirit Subduing Bell rapidly expanded in size!
From its original fist-sized form, it quickly grew to nearly match Cimmerian River’s height!
Red Lotus looked at the Spirit Subduing Bell and Cimmerian River, her heart sinking.
After sensing the aura emanating from these two, she realized that they were… Source Devourers, whom she both hated and feared deeply!
They had actually found this place!
They even wanted to steal the Phoenix Origin!
Red Lotus’s heart was racing, filled with anxiety.
After the Spirit Subduing Bell expanded, Cimmerian River placed both hands on its upper half.
“I know that your Phoenix clan was the dominant life form on Earth tens of thousands of years ago,” Cimmerian River said with a reckless smile. “But that’s in the past. After humans appeared and began cultivating immortality, you so-called divine beasts and spirit beasts could only be enslaved by us humans!”
“Because compared to us humans, your intelligence is far too inferior.”
“Now, let me show you what true suppression means.”
Cimmerian River grinned, conjuring a bronze hammer in his right hand.
Then, he stepped back, gripped the hammer tightly, and smashed it against the Spirit Subduing Bell!
The moment the hammer touched the Spirit Subduing Bell.
“Bong…”
A heavy, muffled sound emanated from inside the Spirit Subduing Bell, rapidly spreading outward!
For Han Meiren below and Cimmerian River at close range, this bell sound was just an ordinary toll, nothing unusual, perhaps just a bit louder.
But when this sound wave passed through Phoenix and Red Lotus, it caused these two Phoenix clan beings to emit agonized wails!
They felt as if every part of their bodies was being torn apart, waves of excruciating pain!
At the same time, more than half of the spiritual energy in their bodies was instantly drained!
Red Lotus, being more fragile, blacked out after this sound. The flames on her wings behind her dissipated by half, her upper body tilting forward as she fell downward.
Seeing this, Phoenix endured the physical pain, caught Red Lotus with its wings, and immediately flew toward the distance.
No matter what, the inheritor chosen by Phoenix couldn’t die, and the Phoenix Origin couldn’t fall into others’ hands!
“They’re already weakened, chase after them!” Cimmerian River shouted.
Han Meiren came to her senses and immediately rushed in the direction Phoenix was flying.
During their flight, they noticed a fireball-like Phoenix Origin still hovering above the high platform of the Phoenix Temple.
Including the one following Red Lotus… there were two Phoenix Origins in total!
“That’s right, the Immortal mentioned before that the divine Phoenix is a twin! One female and one male! So, there are two Origins!” Cimmerian River said excitedly.
“Brother Cimmerian… we are also one female and one male…” Han Meiren’s eyes flickered as she looked at Cimmerian River.
Though she didn’t speak further, Cimmerian River understood her meaning.
Logically, discovering something as significant as the Phoenix Origin would require notifying Immortal Dao Kong.
But notifying Immortal Dao Kong would mean surrendering the Phoenix Origin…
Although they were extremely loyal, this was the divine Phoenix!
The temptation was extreme!
No one knew what changes would occur to the body after absorbing a divine beast’s origin!
Perhaps they could break through to the same realm as Immortal Dao Kong in one go, or even surpass him!
Thinking this way, Cimmerian River hesitated no longer!
“The Phoenix Origin belongs to us two!” Cimmerian River told Han Meiren.
Han Meiren smiled and said, “I’ll chase after them, Brother Cimmerian, you go seize the Origin on the high platform!”
“Good!”
Cimmerian River immediately changed direction, flying toward the distant platform.
Phoenix naturally noticed this, feeling extremely anxious yet helpless.
