Chapter 165: The Phoenix’s Sorrowful Cry Plays the Song of the Nine Heavens (Middle)
“Boom!” The Titan Giant Ape was the first to attack. It swung the sharp axe in its hand, and it came down with the momentum to split mountains and crack rocks.
Wherever the blade passed, the air let out a harsh scream, and the ancient trees along the way were instantly crushed into dust.
Feng Chuiying’s toes tapped lightly, and she soared into the air like a streak of red clouds, dodging the blow. The phoenix phantom was faintly visible behind her.
The giant ape’s fist heavily smashed into the ground. In an instant, the land within a radius of ten zhang collapsed again.
In the midst of the dust and smoke, sharp stone spikes broke out of the ground and stabbed at Feng Chuiying in the air.
Speaking of the origin of the Titan Giant Ape, it was originally an ape-type spiritual beast native to the Rock Nation.
Ever since the Rock imperial family had discovered a spiritual crystal mine in the country, they had begun large-scale mining.
From then on, the Titan Giant Ape and its ape-type spiritual beasts had lost their homes and had begun to move north, finally arriving in the Glacial Snow Domain of the Canglan Nation.
In the end, the earth-type spiritual technique was the Titan Giant Ape’s specialty.
Feng Chuiying spun in the air, and a brilliant phoenix true fire ignited around her.
In the flames, she gently waved her jade-like hand, and nine fire phoenix phantoms bared their fangs and brandished their claws as they swooped down.
Wherever the fire phoenix passed, the air was distorted, and the stone spikes on the ground quickly melted under the high temperature, and wisps of white smoke rose.
Seeing this, the Titan Giant Ape roared at the sky, and the sound shook the clouds.
It fiercely beat its chest with both arms, and the stone patterns on its body burst out with a dazzling green light. A thick layer of rock armor instantly covered its entire body.
A fire phoenix was grabbed by it and crushed.
“Gravity Suppression!”
The Titan Giant Ape clenched its fist in Feng Chuiying’s direction. Feng Chuiying only felt as if ten thousand mountains were pressing down on her.
For a time, Feng Chuiying’s movements were hindered.
“Killing you… should be the end of it!”
The Titan Giant Ape stomped down on Feng Chuiying.
Feng Chuiying quickly circulated the phoenix power in her body, and the surrounding temperature rose rapidly.
The phoenix flame around her instantly surged several zhang, forming a scorching barrier.
The Titan Giant Ape stomped on it, and the fiery red barrier let out a loud bang.
“Phoenix Meteor Shower!”
Feng Chuiying formed seals with her hands. In an instant, the wind and clouds in the sky changed color, and countless fire meteors whistled down from the sky.
Every fire meteor that hit the ground created a ten-mile sea of fire.
The Titan Giant Ape was hit in the chest by a meteor. It let out a muffled grunt and took two steps back.
“Damn it!”
The armor on the Titan Giant Ape’s chest was smoking. If it hadn’t summoned the rock armor in time, this phoenix meteor would have pierced its chest.
It extinguished the flames on its chest.
The two sides were once again in a standoff.
“Just a Tribulation Crossing realm… with a strange bloodline power, you can actually contend with a ninth-tier.”
“But don’t forget, a ninth-tier can control the power of space.”
The Titan Giant Ape sneered and instantly disappeared on the spot.
Feng Chuiying was shocked. Her phoenix eyes began to observe the surroundings. It was strange. The Titan Giant Ape was not so fast that it had almost disappeared, but even its aura had disappeared without a trace.
Suddenly, a sound of explosion came from behind Feng Chuiying, mixed with many spatial fragments.
“Go to hell!!!”
The Titan Giant Ape jumped out of the space behind Feng Chuiying and fiercely slashed at her back.
The phoenix flame on Feng Chuiying’s body was almost instantaneous. A wall of fire blocked her behind.
“Be careful!”
Jiang Xianyue on the snow mountain suddenly sensed the arrival of a crisis.
But it was clearly too late.
But at this time, another Titan Giant Ape rushed out from Feng Chuiying’s side. Feng Chuiying had never thought that two identical Titan Giant Apes would appear on the battlefield.
She dodged to the side, but she was still hit by the Titan Giant Ape’s axe.
Feng Chuiying’s bloodline wings were directly cut in half. Then, the Titan Giant Ape kicked her in the abdomen again.
A stream of blood spurted out of Feng Chuiying’s mouth, and her body flew out like a cannonball, smashing into the area behind her.
“So painful…”
She collapsed on the ground, her consciousness blurry.
She watched as the Titan Giant Ape came towards her step by step.
The two Titan Giant Apes merged into one. It smiled ferociously. “Little girl… it seems you’ve been away from the battlefield for too long. Have you forgotten such basic knowledge as an external incarnation?”
An external incarnation could be cultivated at the Soul Splitting realm. Its function was generally for self-preservation or when the main body was inconvenient to appear.
Cultivating an external incarnation not only required a large amount of cultivation resources, but the strength of the external incarnation would generally not exceed the main body.
So most cultivators would not choose to cultivate it when they reached the Soul Splitting realm.
Unless their background was quite strong, and the opportunities given by their background could support the cultivation of an external incarnation.
Feng Chuiying lay on the dusty ground and looked at the sky. The phoenix flame in the surrounding battle pits was still burning.
A spark of the phoenix flame flashed in her eyes. In her hazy consciousness, she seemed to see her childhood life.
In her memory, it was a place like a paradise.
The members of the Phoenix clan all lived there. The young Feng Chuiying held her mother’s hand and played freely in the fields.
In her memory, every member of the Phoenix clan had to respectfully call her “Saintess” when they saw her.
Feng Chuiying didn’t know what this title meant, but she just thought it was very impressive.
Suddenly one day, the flames of war burned to this paradise where they were.
The surroundings were filled with flames. The group of robbers called the Vermilion Bird Divine Sect had destroyed their homes.
The leader of the Vermilion Bird Divine Sect, an elder, grabbed the clan leader of the Phoenix clan and asked about the whereabouts of the Phoenix Saintess.
The Phoenix clan leader kept his mouth shut, vowing to protect the whereabouts of the Phoenix Saintess.
The Phoenix Saintess was the most important inheritance of the Phoenix lineage. Even if all the Phoenix clan members fell, it was not as important as a single hair of the Phoenix Saintess.
But the Saintess of the Phoenix clan, who was also Feng Chuiying’s mother, was unwilling to see the Phoenix clan be implicated because of her.
So…
In a small hut on the back mountain of the paradise.
“Chuiying, don’t be afraid… Mother… is going to give you all the Phoenix inheritance… this is both an inheritance and a hope…”
“Mother, don’t cry… if you cry… I also want to cry… wuwuwu…”
The young Feng Chuiying wiped away the tears from her mother’s body. The next second, she was controlled by her.
The Phoenix Saintess held back her tears, but her body still couldn’t help but tremble. “Chuiying, mother is not crying… you have to be obedient. Run as far as you can!”
With that, a huge phoenix spiritual array appeared under Feng Chuiying’s feet. The Phoenix Saintess sacrificed six drops of phoenix origin blood from her forehead. It was said that these were all personally left by the Phoenix Divine Spirit.
The Phoenix Saintess’s body trembled as she carefully controlled the origin blood to merge into Feng Chuiying’s spiritual meridians.
In an instant, Feng Chuiying only felt flames eroding her internal organs.
Every painful cry of Feng Chuiying tugged at the heartstrings of the Phoenix Saintess, who was a mother.
She held back her tears and bit her wrist hard. Even if blood flowed out, she did not notice at all.
Only in this way could she control her emotions and merge the origin blood into Feng Chuiying’s body.
This process was very long. The moment the phoenix origin blood entered her body, the small Feng Chuiying soared from the Qi Refinement realm directly to the Nascent Soul realm and was still rising.
The Phoenix inheritance also had requirements for the inheritor. The young Feng Chuiying clearly did not meet this requirement.
But there were no other candidates around. The Phoenix Saintess could only take a risk with Feng Chuiying.
The Phoenix Saintess used the forbidden technique of the Phoenix clan to seal Feng Chuiying’s rampant cultivation.
But the price of doing this was… her spiritual meridians would be damaged because they could not withstand the phoenix divine power.
From then on, her out-of-control flames came from this.
After three days and three nights, the inheritance was only one step away.
The Phoenix Saintess peeled off the phoenix mark on her wrist, transferred it to Feng Chuiying’s wrist, and hid it.
The phoenix mark represented the Phoenix Holy Sword, which could only be summoned when one reached a certain realm.
The Phoenix Divine Spirit had a total of two main inheritances.
The phoenix origin blood and the Heaven-grade weapon, the Phoenix Holy Sword.
The Phoenix Saintess had already given both of these to Feng Chuiying.
The Phoenix Saintess looked at the sleeping Feng Chuiying with a loving gaze and left a kiss on her forehead.
“Your father is already on his way.”
“Ying’er, don’t think about revenge… live a happy life…”
With that, the Phoenix Saintess got up and had just taken two steps… she couldn’t help but look back.
Her beautiful eyes were already hazy with mist, and her lips moved slightly, letting out a dream-like murmur.
“The Phoenix clan has fallen to this state because of its complacency… and lack of progress…”
“If you can become strong one day, you must… you must make the name of the Phoenix resound throughout the continent.”
“The Phoenix clansmen and mother… are all longing for that day!”
