Chapter 665: Heavenly Phoenix

But the flames were barely enough for Xiaolang to fill up his stomach.
The Six-Winged Fire Bird was panicking and flapping in circles when the black whirlpool on Xiaolang’s snout disappeared. Thinking that Xiaolang was exhausted, the Six-Winged Fire Bird dove down from the air. It attempted to peck out Xiaolang’s eyes, but the latter suddenly spat out the Nine Devils Ancestral Fire.
The Six-Winged Fire Bird was instantly engulfed by the flames.
It panicked and flapped furiously in an attempt to escape. It let out painful cries as it was burned by the Nine Devils Ancestral Fire, but its pain quickly came to an end. The Six-Winged Fire Bird soon turned into a black ice sculpture in front of Xiaolang.
Long Chen quickly stored the entire ice sculpture in the Primordial Realm. If he had done so even a single second later, the ice sculpture would’ve fallen to the ground and been reduced to dust.
What a pretty thing. I’m sure Ling Xi would love it.
Long Chen then looked towards the highest point in the sky.
A massive presence stirred after the death of the Six-Winged Fire Bird.
The Six-Winged Fire Bird was the strongest demonic beast in Sky Isle, barring the Heavenly Phoenix. As a Category Three King-tier demonic beast, it was even stronger than the Black Water Viper. After its death, the other beasts on Sky Isle were at most at the Category Two King-tier. All of them flew high into the air as they glared and crowed at Long Chen.Both Long Chen and Xiaolang stood still as they waited for the descent of the Heavenly Phoenix!
The brothers looked at each other before they sprinted towards the nest of the Heavenly Phoenix. Thanks to Xiaolang’s massive body, the dilapidated buildings were destroyed even further.
“The temperature here is so high! It’s almost comparable to the Beast Flare of the Nine Spirit Purgatory! The Heavenly Phoenix is surprisingly strong!”
In front of them were various broken buildings. Many of them were no longer hospitable, but looking at the ruined walls and signs, Long Chen thought that the place looked similar to a ruined sect.
He was certain that Sky Isle was once the base of a large sect. But for some reason, it was abandoned or ruined until the Heavenly Phoenix brought its underlings to live here.
Due to the destruction by the demonic beasts, the traces of the once magnificent sect were almost erased from this world.
Nothing withstood the passage of time.
Time was the most terrifying law in the world.
The buildings and the ground around the center of Sky Isle were scorched black due to the intense temperature. The two of them made haste and soon reached the center.
Long Chen looked up and used Sight. It was only then that he saw a massive soul, one much larger than Xiaolang’s. But he was confused, because the soul appeared to be just waking up from a slumber.
In front of him were large swathes of blackened buildings. The area used to be the central point of the ancient sect. The buildings were even larger than Xiaolang’s body, acting like a wall around the center of the sect.
“It’s inside.” Long Chen and Xiaolang navigated around the buildings until they reached an area where they were no longer black but glowing red. Flames flickered occasionally from the walls.
Xiaolang was overjoyed by how comfy the place was for him.
Fire was nothing but food for a Sun Devouring Wolf.
Long Chen held his breath and walked past a dilapidated building before he saw a massive plaza. The plaza’s ground was glowing red!
In the middle of the plaza was a massive egg roughly ten meters tall. The egg was smoldering and covered in strange runes. The profound runes swam on the shell of the egg, glimmering gold and red.
An intimidating aura burst forth from the egg!
The Heavenly Phoenix is an egg?
Right when Long Chen stopped, numerous cracks appeared on the surface of the massive egg. Then flames burst forth from the cracks and the egg exploded.
Crackle!
A golden globe of fire floated from where the egg once was. It rapidly grew, reminding Long Chen of how Mo Xiaolang changed from his human form to beast form.
Scarlet flames licked the air and expanded until it was twice as large as the Six-Winged Fire Bird. At the same time, a pair of flaming wings burst forth from the center. Then numerous fireballs rained down and exploded.
A sharp cry came from inside the ball of fire, overpowering the calls coming from the other demonic beasts above. All of the demonic beasts stopped crying and the place was soon silent. The demonic beasts landed and bowed to the Heavenly Phoenix.
The Heavenly Phoenix slowly emerged from the ball of fire.
When it expanded its large wings, Long Chen noted how similar it looked to the legendary Phoenix. The Heavenly Phoenix’s feathers were flaming red with a trace of golden runes. It was nothing short of beautiful.
The Six-Winged Fire Bird was also a bird-type demonic beast with the fire-attribute, but its exterior was a far cry from the Heavenly Phoenix. As the king of Sky Isle, the Heavenly Phoenix had golden eyes with golden flames emitting from them. It flapped its wings, and an oppressive pressure blanketed both Xiaolang and Long Chen.
The Heavenly Phoenix glared at the duo. Rather than anger, its eyes were cold and calculative.
Long Chen was certain that the Heavenly Phoenix was more intelligent than the Six-Winged Fire Bird and the Black Water Viper.
“Xiaolang, I will deal with its attacks while you use the Nine Devils Ancestral Fire to support me.”
The Sun Devouring Wolf’s strongest talent was in its ability to increase its cultivation level by consuming flames. Xiaolang had the Nine Devils Ancestral Fire, but he was also one tier lower than the Heavenly Phoenix. Long Chen didn’t want him to get hurt.
Long Chen also wanted to test his strength after finally reaching the Third Earthly Martial Stage.
He slowly transformed into the blood-red dragon form. Blood-red scales covered his body and claws replaced his nails. He was in his perfect battle form.
Before he transformed, the Heavenly Phoenix had been focused on Xiaolang. Since Xiaolang was a beast that radiated a terrifying heat, the Heavenly Phoenix had designated him as the largest threat. But when Long Chen transformed, the Heavenly Phoenix was surprised and retreated half a step when it sensed the danger.
Long Chen radiated a cold sense of danger, one that made the Heavenly Phoenix’s blood cower. The Heavenly Phoenix’s prided blood had a very minuscule trace of the legendary Divine Phoenix—that was what had allowed it to become the king of Sky Isle. But for the very first time, its prided blood was afraid of Long Chen.
Did Long Chen have a bloodline that threatened its own?
The Heavenly Phoenix’s shock soon turned into confusion.
It sensed that Long Chen had a substantial amount of essence. More importantly, there was a blazing flame in Long Chen’s essence that was hotter than the Heavenly Phoenix’s very own golden flames.
The Heavenly Phoenix now knew who the real threat was.
Long Chen walked past Xiaolang and charged towards the Heavenly Phoenix as the latter took to the skies. Long Chen knew that he had to get the Heavenly Phoenix to land for him to use his full strength.
With a flash of blood-red light, Long Chen appeared directly beneath the Heavenly Phoenix.
A dragon’s illusion appeared on his body.
Long Chen was ten times faster than he was before.
He punched.
With his comprehension of the Third Earthly Martial Stage and as much essence as someone at the Fourth Earthly Martial Stage, Long Chen’s punch was comparable to an intermediate King-tier martial technique.
