"Divine Bird!"

Huo Qing stared wide-eyed at the gigantic firebird, exclaiming in shock, "Brother Huo Lin has actually condensed a Divine Bird! Such terrifying power! Even at the peak of the Late Stage of Soul Emergence, it cannot be resisted."

"But is it necessary to use the power of the Divine Bird to deal with that kid? What if by accident, he gets killed? How would we explain this to the Clan Leader?"

In Huo Qing's view, using the power of the Divine Bird against Gu Chenfeng was akin to using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.

The firebird soared into the sky, with blazing flames igniting the space it passed through, as if it intended to burn this world to ashes.

"The fire attribute of the firebird originates from Phoenix Essence Qi," Gu Chenfeng murmured to himself with a frown, "Though there's not much Phoenix Essence Qi, it's enough to exponentially increase its power. The strength of the firebird is almost reaching the Integration Stage."

"How did the Fire Spirit Race come by Phoenix Essence Qi? The Phoenix Race would never grant the source of their clan's power to the Fire Spirit Race."

Gu Chenfeng was very curious in his heart.

At that very moment.

"Boom!"

"Buzz!"

The enormous firebird collided with a gigantic Ice Sword high in the sky, creating a deafening explosion as the ripples of ice and fire energy radiated wildly, devastating the surrounding mountains.

The moment they collided, the gigantic Ice Sword was instantly destroyed, offering no resistance.

Countless terrifying flames shot in all directions, resembling a rain of fire falling onto the mountains below, quickly turning the landscape into a sea of fire.

Terrifying explosive energy rolled and surged, forcing Gu Chenfeng to retreat.

"Such astounding power, the suppression of the Ice Attribute is no longer effective," Gu Chenfeng's eyebrows knitted tighter as his expression turned grave.

The gigantic firebird charged skyward, its temperature soaring rapidly.

"Kid, how is it? Have I disappointed you?" Huo Lin's voice called out smugly, his figure slowly ascending into the sky.

Gu Chenfeng glanced at Huo Lin, frowning in confusion, "It seems he does have a trace of Phoenix Essence Qi, no wonder he can condense such a powerful firebird. Such astonishing power would even give someone at the Early Integration Stage pause."

"However, the Fire Spirit Race rose only recently and shouldn't have had contact with the Phoenix Race. With the Fire Spirit Race's strength, they are not qualified. How did they get Phoenix Essence Qi? What's going on?"

At the time of Gu Chenfeng's eighth reincarnation ascension, the Fire Spirit Race was a minor clan, while the Phoenix Race was a behemoth in the Cultivation Realm.

The gap in strength between the two was immense, and the Fire Spirit Race had no opportunity to touch the Phoenix Race.

Yet Huo Lin's possession of Phoenix Essence Qi piqued Gu Chenfeng's curiosity.

"I'll see if your Ice Attribute can withstand the power of the Divine Bird!" Huo Lin sneered confidently, his eyes brimming with certainty as he directed the gigantic firebird to charge ferociously at Gu Chenfeng.

Huo Lin attacked with full force, utilizing Phoenix Essence Qi to condense the Divine Bird, intending for a quick resolution, aiming to defeat Gu Chenfeng in a single blow.

As the menacing firebird shot toward him, Gu Chenfeng felt a dangerous aura.

"Although the firebird contains Phoenix Essence Qi, it's still far from a true member of the Phoenix Race," Gu Chenfeng mused to himself while fully activating his Ice Attribute Spiritual Power.

"Buzz!"

Domineering ice energy erupted, with a dazzling white pillar of light shooting skyward, dispersing cloud formations, while the space trembled violently. Surging and vast momentum burst forth from within Gu Chenfeng.

Gu Chenfeng then infused Ice Attribute power into the Heaven-Slaying Sword, with tumbling Sword Intent soaring skyward as a terrifying chill spread like a storm.

"Such strong Sword Intent! This young man's Sword Dao Domain is exceptionally high, this must be his trump card." Huo Lin thought with a frown, his expression growing increasingly wary.

"What Sword Technique is this?" Huo Qing trembled all over, utterly terrified, "Even the Celestial Technique doesn't have this kind of intimidating momentum, could it be an Immortal Technique?"

Trembling with fear, Huo Qing involuntarily stepped back.

The momentum Gu Chenfeng released made him feel the threat of death.

"Annihilation Heaven Slayer!" Gu Chenfeng coldly shouted, as the Heaven-Slaying Sword emitted a glaring white light, exuding a domineering and terrifying Sword Aura power.

"Shhh!"

"Buzz!"

His jet-black eyes flashed fiercely, and Gu Chenfeng swung his sword horizontally as a white Sword Aura shot out like lightning, swiftly expanding to a massive size of a hundred feet, charging toward the firebird with unstoppable momentum.

The dominant ice Sword Aura froze the space it passed at a visible speed, as if intending to encase the entire area in ice.

"Such domineering Sword Aura," Huo Lin marveled internally, "The power of this sword is terrifying, even making me feel intensely threatened."

Feeling the overpowering presence of Gu Chenfeng's Sword Aura, a deep-seated dread surged within Huo Lin.

"Boom!"

"Buzz!"

In just a few breaths, the domineering Sword Aura of a hundred feet collided fiercely with the firebird, exploding on impact with a booming thunder, earthshaking and eardrum-shattering. The destructive explosive energy carried a power of overwhelming force, causing pitch-black rifts to erupt crazily.

The destructive force was exceedingly terrifying.

"Cough!"

Gu Chenfeng and Huo Lin bore the brunt of the explosive energy, both vomiting blood and their bodies being sent flying.

"As expected of Phoenix Essence Qi," Gu Chenfeng exclaimed inwardly.

While marveling at its power, Gu Chenfeng hastily summoned obsidian and instantly transformed it into black battle armor, donning it upon himself.

With the obsidian's superior defense, Gu Chenfeng could prevent his injuries from worsening.

Just a trace of Phoenix Essence Qi had already significantly boosted Huo Lin's strength.

"It can actually injure me!" Huo Lin was both shocked and terrified, thinking, "What on earth is this Sword Technique? How can it be this terrifying?"

"Brother Huo Lin!" Huo Qing screamed in terror, utterly panic-stricken.

In this ferocious clash.

Both forces were evenly matched, resulting in mutual defeat with both heavily wounded.

Huo Lin sustained severe injuries, covered in blood, and his face was as pale as paper.

Fortunately, Gu Chenfeng had summoned his battle armor in time, shielding him from the subsequent explosive force, keeping his injuries relatively manageable.

Gu Chenfeng forcibly steadied himself, once again fully activating his Ice Attribute Spiritual Power, unleashing a mighty aura.

"Bang!"

With a step into the void, Gu Chenfeng wielded the Heaven-Slaying Sword, bracing himself against the explosion and transforming into a white lightning bolt.

With the battle armor shielding him, Gu Chenfeng completely ignored the explosive energy.

Seeing Gu Chenfeng's insane actions, Huo Qing screamed in panic, "Brother Huo Lin, be careful!"

"Has he gone mad? Is he courting death?" Seeing Gu Chenfeng darting toward him like a monster, Huo Lin's face changed dramatically, his heart almost leaping out of his chest in fear.

This was the explosive energy created by two terrifying forces!

However.

Huo Lin quickly realized something was amiss, panic-stricken, with overwhelming fear washing over him.

"Fire Spirit Protection!" Huo Lin hastily shouted, rapidly forming a Flame Energy Shield.

"In your current state, you can't stop me," Gu Chenfeng smirked coldly.

The closer Gu Chenfeng got, the more frightened Huo Lin became. He could hardly convince himself that he could block Gu Chenfeng.
