Chapter 2468 - Phoenix Paradise, He Clan's Old Ancestor Dies

At the very last instant, Dark Phoenix stood in front of Qing Shui to block the attack. Right now, Dark Phoenix was very strong, but it was still unable to withstand the attack from the combination of the Eight-Mortal Steps and the Giant Golden Spiritual Figure. Dark Phoenix's body was strong enough and it had the ability to reduce the damage received, in addition to receiving the damage reduction from the Divine Weapon Flying Sword and other techniques. Even so, it was still in a battered state.

Qing Shui's Divine Weapon Flying Sword had pierced into the same spot as the prior two times. The final attack had also been a full-power attack. Its terrifying penetrating abilities pierced through the arm. Previously, the Divine Weapon Flying Sword had already gone halfway into the arm.

It pierced into He Lianba's throat!

Right now, He Lianba was the size of a small mountain and the Divine Weapon Flying Sword had entered He Lianba's throat. However, it lacked the power to press on. Although it cut into He Lianba's main artery, just the Divine Weapon Flying Sword was still insufficient to take He Lianba's life with .

However, at this moment, the Marrow Nibbling Golden Dragon Silkworm entered the main artery through the injury left behind by the Divine Weapon Flying Sword.

This was Qing Shui's plan and things went smoothly. It entered He Lianba's brain directly. Qing Shui didn't make any further attempts. After He Lianba had taken the form of the Giant Golden Spiritual Figure, his skin's toughness and tenacity had reached an extremely terrifying level. If the Marrow Nibbling Golden Dragon Silkworm failed to enter, it would be a great joke.

Therefore Qing Shui chose to let the Divine Weapon Flying Sword clear a path for the Marrow Nibbling Golden Dragon Silkworm. It would be best if the Divine Weapon Flying Sword could kill He Lianba directly, but if it couldn't, then its mission would be accomplished after leaving an injury on He Lianba. The rest would naturally be left to the Marrow Nibbling Golden Dragon Silkworm.

Everything happened in an instant. Seeing that Qing Shui didn't die, he charged out toward Qing Shui once again, instantly performing the Six-Mortal Steps once again, preparing to launch another attack.

Just then, an intense pain ran through his head, almost causing him to faint. His entire body stumbled. He thought it was a delusion, but that pain from earlier continued to drown him like waves, and his enormous body suddenly collapsed.

Qing Shui didn't look at He Lianba, but instead at Dark Phoenix who was burning in flames.

Dead!

The blood that kept on spurting out started burning and within a short period of time, a huge fire broke out. Qing Shui had a terrifying resistance toward fire and didn't sense anything. However, everyone else couldn't withstand it.

"Qing Shui!" the two ladies went up to pull Qing Shui.

"I'm fine. You guys go back and have a rest first." Qing Shui was feeling very upset.

Back at the earliest times when the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal first leveled up, a huge Chinese parasol tree had appeared. At the same time, a fire bird had appeared. Back then, it was his most powerful demonic beast. Right now, it was still his most powerful demonic beast, but only after it had evolved not too long ago.

Qing Shui hadn't thought of the possibility that Dark Phoenix would die. In Qing Shui's eyes, Dark Phoenix wasn't a demonic beast, but his brother. It would be in the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal everyday and had spent a longer period of time with him than the rest of the people around him.

Qing Shui thought of how it had evolved into the Hellfire Phoenix, then to the Icefire Phoenix, before eventually returning to the appearance it had back when it was the Fire Bird. However, it had become a lot more impressive and domineering.

"Hmm? Why is it that the flames are getting increasingly bigger despite the fact that the big bird has been burning for so long?"

"That's right. No wait, why is there a terrifying vitality coming from it?" someone exclaimed.

Hearing this, Qing Shui's eyes lit up and he felt extremely agitated. He thought of one situation--the Phoenix Paradise.

Qing Shui had always known that the Fire Bird had this Phoenix Paradise ability, but there was only a 30% chance of it happening. He had never thought of letting Dark Phoenix going through nirvana [1]. 30% wasn't a very high chance, but Qing Shui could only pin his hopes on it.

Seething flames soared into the sky.

Right now, everyone could sense that this flame was different. Qing Shui was also sure that it was going through nirvana. It was really going through nirvana. 

Ning!

An agitated bird's cry rang out. This cry was the most special sound that Qing Shui had heard before. It's said that the phoenix's cry was especially reasonating, and could reach out beyond the nine heavens. This cry would definitely let all birds bow down to it. It had an unrivalled impressive aura. A huge burning bird that was the king of all howls soared into the sky from the flames and appeared in the sky as it cried out.

“Divine bird!”

"Divine bird, it really is a divine bird!. This is the most beautiful and majestic bird I've ever seen."

"Beautiful yet domineering. It's really very handsome. What a powerful disposition it has. Look at its crown."

…

Qing Shui was naturally the most agitated of them all. Dark Phoenix didn't die and this was a blessing in disguise. Right now, it seemed that its blood lineage had improved. Most importantly, the aura it emitted made even Qing Shui's heart throb.

Phoenix Paradise: When the Fire Bird received fatal damage, it would have a 30% chance to go through a Firebath Rebirth. The successful rebirth would be like a transformation, with its strength being twice as strong as before.

Dark Phoenix, who was in the sky, charged out toward the demonic beast the Divine Battle Puppet was engaging, covering it in a flaming cloud.

An agonizing howl rang out. No matter how the demonic beast struggled, the seething flames didn't extinguish. After several minutes, it turned into ashes, disappearing into the air together with the wind.

"Domineering, terrifying… What kind of fire is this? To think that it could burn up a demonic beast at the Nurture God Realm to the extent that it wasn't capable of retaliating.

"Look, He Lianba has died." Someone shouted.

Dark Phoenix's Phoenix Paradise ability had caused many people to temporarily forget about He Lianba. They now realized that he had died. The Giant Golden Spiritual Figure might not necessarily die even if it were to fall. Afterall, no one knew what means Qing Shui had used to kill He Lianba.

"He's really dead. It's over for the He Clan!"

"Things are going to change in Mortal City!"

There were people who cheered and people who appeared sorrowful. Many people in the surroundings had left to make arrangements within their clan while concurrently trying to find out news about this young man's background. They wanted to know if they could be on friendly terms with him or find out if he would be staying here…

With Dark Phoenix's participation, the battle ended very quickly. The Primordial Golden Bear was a Heavenly Technique that Qing Shui had comprehended from the Primordial Golden Bear's skull and because his mastery over it wasn't perfect yet, so he was unable to unleash its real prowess. If Qing Shui had achieved some success in it, he would be able to be like He Lianba, taking a form similar to that of the golden giant, but in the form of the Primordial Golden Bear. His battle prowess would throw off the Giant Golden Spiritual Figure by a few streets.

However, the Primordial Golden Bear was still very terrifying. Qing Shui could only blame his own lack of strength. The Heavenly Technique obtained from comprehending the Primordial Golden Bear's skull was directly related to the master's strength. It was unlike demonic beasts, which could surpass the master's strength by a lot.

The Primordial Golden Bear at the small success stage was considered a little more terrifying. After all, it was up against He Lianba's demonic beasts. He Lianba's Nurture God Realm was definitely higher compared to Qing Shui’s. For the Primordial Golden Bear to be able to be on the upper hand against two of He Lianba's demonic beasts, let alone his two strongest demonic beasts, Qing Shui was satisfied.

In the end, even Dark Phoenix wasn't that much stronger compared to the Primordial Golden Bear. If Dark Phoenix and the Primordial Golden Bear were to change their caves, then their difference would be widen...

It was a pity that the effects from exchanging caves wouldn't change right away, but would require a long duration of time. Otherwise, when Dark Phoenix that had used the Advance Paragon Pill moved to the tenth cave, his battle prowess would’ve reached a whole different level. 

This was Qing Shui's guess. He didn't wish to go through so much through. In the future, the Primordial Golden Bear would definitely become the strongest for him. Moreover, with the increment of his Nurture God Realm, the Primordial Golden Bear's strength would rise rapidly very soon, displaying the battle prowess of the ancient Primordial Golden Bear.

Kill!

There were still many people in the He Clan. Seeing that Qing Shui was seriously injured, a crazy idea popped in their minds. Even if Dark Phoenix was very terrifying, they couldn't care much. If they didn't kill Qing Shui and the others, it would be over for the He Clan. At this stage, they might as well take the risk and fight it out.

The people on Qing Shui's side would naturally not just stay idle. A chaotic battle broke out. Qing Shui frowned while the two ladies summoned the two Demonic Lions to be on guard.

Black Ice Divine Worm, Thunderous Beast...

Beast King Battle God, Massacre Battle God...

Right now, Qing Shui didn't have much battle prowess and was starting to set up formations using formation flags. However, many people had their target on him, wanting to kill him to prevent future troubles. They weren't alone. Many influences in Mortal City also tried to blend into the chaos. Qing Shui's existence posed a great threat to many people.
