Chapter 4: Primordial Beasts of Chaos
"Dead......!" The purple lightning illuminated Weng Fu's face, casting an uncertain shadow.
"From ancient times to the present, no one has ever been able to escape the thunderous killing of the Jiuxiao Divine Thunder!" Ying Fu let out a long sigh, his face filled with regret: "What a pity! Success was within reach, yet it slipped through our fingers once again. Is this really the will of heaven?!"
"But what's the origin of this kid, I've never heard of a divine demon awakening bloodline that would trigger the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder." Ying Fu's eyes deeply gazed at the remaining thunder, muttering to himself: "Just awakened his own bloodline, yet is not tolerated by heaven and earth, how absurd!"
The purple divine lightning gradually faded away and then silently vanished into nothingness.
In front of him, the location where Mu Shan was, a deep pit about three zhang wide had been blasted out. There, apart from the scars all over the ground, not a single figure could be seen.
The strong wind began to pour back from all sides, making a loud whooshing sound.
It has come to this, and the only way is to start with Fuxi Temple's body, think of a way to extract the method to lift the seal. As for this kid, he absolutely cannot be allowed to live, otherwise there will definitely be endless troubles in the future!
Ying Fu slowly moved his gaze to Chang Sheng, the dense killing intent no longer concealed, and slowly raised his right hand, spreading his five fingers, aiming at Chang Sheng who was staring blankly ahead.
"Huh?" Just as Ying Fu was about to make his move, he suddenly felt a tremble in his heart, and sensed a proud, violent, and extremely noble aura coming from the uneven ground that seemed to be devoid of any signs of life.
A faint pale flame, on that desolate ground, suddenly burst into flames, like a prairie fire, weak but tenacious!
A loud and clear phoenix cry, from that wisp of flame, rang out in a high-pitched tone, as if a phoenix was about to be reborn from the ashes!
Between heaven and earth, countless complex bird calls echoed faintly, as if all the birds in the world sang in unison, paying homage to this place!
That flame, amidst the singing of a hundred birds, rapidly grew and expanded, gradually forming into the shape of a human figure.
The flames gradually condensed, revealing skin like that of a newborn baby, and that determined and unruly face!
"Nirvana Rebirth......!" Weng Fu's outstretched hand froze in mid-air, his entire body as if he had been cast with a petrification spell, staring incredulously at Mu Shan who was perfectly unscathed: "Could it be that this kid has the bloodline of the Phoenix flowing through him? No, no, that can't be right, there are indeed phoenixes in this world, and the phoenix bloodline would never trigger the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder......!"
Good luck!
"Brother......!"
Changsheng and Fengxian, among others, saw Mu Shan reappear before their eyes, and they cheered excitedly, forgetting themselves. If not for the restraint of winning back, they would have rushed to Mu Shan's side by now.
"Rumble......!" The black vortex in the sky grew increasingly low-pressure, as if the entire sky was about to collapse!
"Why? The Nine Heavens Divine Thunder has not dissipated yet...?" Having experienced the majestic heavenly power of the winner, he deeply feared being affected by the fish in the pond and led several people to retreat quickly for tens of feet.
Mu Shan clenched his fists tightly, his eyes gazing deeply into the sky, like a mighty and unyielding war god, vowing to contend with heaven!
"ROAR......!" Mu Shan took a deep breath, then shouted loudly towards the sky. His voice seemed to have traversed millions of years of time, echoing leisurely between heaven and earth!
As Mu Shan let out a thunderous roar that shook the ages, the blurry patterns on his back gradually cleared up, slowly detaching from his skin, as if an entity that shouldn't have existed tore through space and time, proudly floating between heaven and earth!
It was a beast about ten zhang in length, resembling a fierce tiger, with no hair on its body, but covered with beautiful feathers like works of art; the large tiger head had four long fire-red tassels that swayed gently in the wind; under its ribs, the red and white wings fluttered occasionally; the tail's flowing plumes seemed to be condensed from the essence of wind and fire, changing shapelessly, appearing and disappearing indistinctly.
"ROAR......!" The tiger-headed beast let out a long, mournful howl. The sound was filled with endless fighting spirit and an aura of slaughter that seemed to have no bounds, echoing continuously.
"What... what kind of primordial beast is that......?" Ying Fuyi gazed intently at the scene unfolding on Mu Shan, watching as the intense white flames churned and spat restlessly on the bodies of those strange beasts on Mu Shan and in the air, feeling as if he had fallen into an icy cavern, his entire body's blood frozen solid.
"Rumble...!" The purple lightning that flickered in the dark clouds seemed to have been provoked to the extreme, becoming even more enraged. The thunder rumbled, low and heavy, as the lightning bolts darted about, swift and violent!
In the black sea of clouds, the purple lightning gradually follows a certain law, no longer running wildly, but instead uses the cloud sea as paper and itself as pen and ink to draw an extremely grand and complex spell array in the vast sky. The electric snakes seemed to have become mysterious and profound symbols, vividly fixed on the black clouds, and then transmitted all their energy towards the center of the spell array.
"Rumble……!" A majestic, highly condensed purple divine lightning bolt, as if an ancient divine dragon that had existed since the dawn of time, broke free from the constraints of the spell array and shot towards the ground, heading straight for Mu Shan with a deafening roar.
The divine dragon let out a loud roar, its dragon's wail shook the earth, bringing terror and despair, shaking heaven and earth!
The monster's body was in mid-air, its tiger claws pressed against the ground as if they were real. Its front paws were slightly raised, its tiger head held high, and its eyes, with their red and white pupils, gazed unyieldingly upwards at the sky, while its mouth opened wide, letting out a furious roar!
"Roar……!" As the strange beast's voice rang out, countless other sounds suddenly appeared between heaven and earth, like a hundred birds singing in unison, or ten thousand beasts howling together. It was as if all living things on earth, every last one of them, had been summoned by the strange beast.
In the vast sky, the heavenly array born from the fusion of heaven and earth, as well as the dragon that seemed like an ancient deity, had their clear reflections in the eyes of the strange beast.
Only in the eyes of the alien beast, the image was cut into countless fragments by an invisible net.
"Hiss!" In the sky, a sound like shattering glass covered the rumbling thunder and the dragon's roar, softly, with a hint of eeriness and coldness, echoing in the vast expanse, between the mountains and forests, and in people's hearts!
"No, it's impossible......!" The brain of the winner had stopped thinking, and he was staring blankly upwards, looking at the formation engraved on the black cloud in the sky, as well as the dragon with the power to destroy the world, which was cut into countless pieces by an unknown force.
The sky, in an instant, completely collapsed, revealing a boundless and enormous dark space that led to nowhere!
A fierce gust of wind suddenly arose, like a violent giant hand, uprooting the trees in the mountains and forests, along with some wild beasts that had been living for who-knows-how-long, sucking them into the unknown darkness in the sky.
"Huff...!" Mu Shan let out a heavy sigh, feeling as if all his strength had been drained away in that instant. A sense of indescribable emptiness and chill rose up to his heart uncontrollably.
Cumbersome, Mu Shan had never felt as tired as he did today. If possible, he would like to lie down and sleep for three days and three nights.
The strange beast on his head returned to Mu Shan's body, but in the sky, amidst the endless darkness, the original divine dragon actually tore open space and stubbornly stretched out its dragon head, spewing a thick and wild purple lightning bolt towards Mu Shan.
"Auspicious......!" In the distance, Changsheng saw that purple lightning carrying the remaining power of the divine dragon, chasing the wind and shadow, flying towards Mushan. But Mushan seemed to be unaware, and couldn't help but let out an anxious roar: "Quickly escape......!"
"Why, what have I done wrong, why must you bring me to death!" Mu Shan muttered softly, with a wretched smile on his face as he gazed at the terrifying purple thunderbolt. Although he wanted to escape, he had already exhausted all his strength and couldn't even move a step, so he could only watch in despair and lament his bad luck.
Just as everyone thought Mu Shan was doomed to die, a figure wrapped in yellow earthy energy, like a rainbow piercing the sun, rapidly flew over from afar and suddenly stopped above Mu Shan.
That person didn't respond to the majestic purple lightning in the air, but instead calmly gazed at Mu Shan. In a low and calm tone, he said, "It's too similar! You're just like your father, as if you were carved out of the same mold! Not only do you look identical, but your temperament is also exactly the same."
