Hum!
As the black jar was covered and pressed down from above.
In an instant, the sky turned dark and the sun and moon lost their light, as if billions of heavenly demons were wailing and the wind was mournful.
A terrifying, forbidden power enveloped Ling Fan.
Ling Fan's heart was entirely on Xue Yi at this moment. Disregarding the possibility of the Samsara Divine Cauldron being stolen, he directly unleashed it. Instantly, a vast, boundless cauldron, like an ancient star, revealed a majestic corner in the sky. Behind this cauldron, there was an even broader phantom, like a realm of reincarnation for all worlds, as large as a star chart. As it creaked and turned, infinite illusory divine energy was ground away and transformed into the purest energy, injected into this star chart, causing it to erupt with astonishing power.
After devouring that Seven Paths Ancient Soul, the Samsara Divine Cauldron's power had recovered significantly. With boundless might, it rumbled and collided with the black jar.
Seizing the moment when the Samsara Divine Cauldron blocked the black jar, Ling Fan did not concern himself with the outcome. He directly leaped towards the Phoenix Divine Fire at the end of the Fallen Phoenix Ancient Cave.
Seeing Lan Xue Yi possessed by the Phoenix Divine Robe, her eyes tightly shut in pain, Ling Fan felt his liver and gall burst, and his anger surged!
Ling Fan ferociously charged into the terrifying Phoenix Divine Fire, reaching out to grab the Phoenix Divine Robe that was wrapped around Xue Yi, while simultaneously letting out a thunderous roar.
"Xue Yi!"
This cry was infused with the supreme Buddhist art, the True Word of the Heavenly Buddha, possessing unimaginable effects.
It exploded into Lan Xue Yi's mind like billions of echoes, overlapping infinitely in her consciousness, finally transforming into a resounding call, like a great bell or a moment of enlightenment, causing Lan Xue Yi's eyelashes to tremble even more violently.
"Qing Yun Emperor!"
At this moment.
A voice filled with extreme venom suddenly emanated from the Phoenix Divine Robe. The robe seemed to come completely alive, controlling Xue Yi's hand. It raised its arm and unleashed an endless stream of divine feathers transformed into fiery sword winds. This strike carried an incredibly terrifying power, capable of threatening Heavenly Venerates above the seventh path. Moreover, as time passed, the power that the Phoenix Divine Robe could wield through Lan Xue Yi was rapidly increasing. If the Phoenix Divine Robe, or rather the Phoenix Ancestor, were to completely possess Lan Xue Yi, it could immediately recover to the limit of a Heavenly Venerate close to the tenth path, and even reach the ranks of the supreme Great Heavenly Venerates before long, by utilizing Lan Xue Yi's Nine Deaths Spirit Phoenix Body.
Ling Fan would naturally not allow the Phoenix Ancestor to succeed.
Ling Fan did not intend to dodge or gather power to counter this attack. Instead, he chose to endure it head-on!
As his body transformed into a true dragon, entirely composed of divine crystals and golden scales, he charged forward, enduring the strike. Simultaneously, in one of his dragon claws, a faint flame, as if non-existent in this world, hovered and was fiercely slammed towards Lan Xue Yi's forehead!
"You—what do you want to do!"
Seeing Ling Fan's action.
The Phoenix Ancestor's furious voice immediately erupted from the Phoenix Divine Robe, as if its good deed was being spoiled.
Boom!
However, the Phoenix Ancestor was too late to stop it.
Crack!
Ling Fan, enduring the Phoenix Ancestor's enraged bombardment, steadily pressed the flame in his dragon claw into Lan Xue Yi's forehead.
And at the same time.
The terrifying power of the Phoenix Divine Robe surged madly into Ling Fan's dragon body, instantly ripping it open and shattering it into pieces, sending him flying backward.
"Xue Yi!"
A gentle call, existing only between the most intimate of people, echoed in the depths of Lan Xue Yi's mind.
At the same time.
Boundless Nirvana Fire erupted from that seed, rapidly burning into a prairie fire, spreading like a flood towards Lan Xue Yi's limbs and bones.
The Phoenix Ancestor had already possessed more than half of Lan Xue Yi's body.
But under the face of this terrifying flame, it retreated step by step!
"What is this flame... This, this, this, this seems to be the ultimate flame from the Ultimate Nirvana Land! This is... the origin and destination of all flames!!"
The Phoenix Ancestor's terrified voice shrieked.
But its voice grew smaller and smaller.
And weaker and weaker.
And at this moment.
Lan Xue Yi finally reopened her eyes.
The vast Phoenix Divine Fire around her suddenly formed a storm, madly pouring into her body. Her aura abruptly broke through to the Heavenly Venerate level and was rapidly soaring.
One Heavenly Venerate.
Two Heavenly Venerates.
Three Heavenly Venerates.
...
Six Heavenly Venerates...
Seven Heavenly Venerates!
Lan Xue Yi's cultivation only slowed down after rapidly reaching the seventh path of Heavenly Venerate, but it was still growing.
Upon overcoming the seventh tribulation of the Nine Deaths Spirit Phoenix Body, Lan Xue Yi displayed unparalleled and terrifying potential.
"Phoenix Ancestor!"
She finally understood everything at this moment.
With a thought.
A terrifying Phoenix Tribulation Fire transformed into a storm, encircling the residual will of the Phoenix Ancestor within her body.
Under the dual assault of Ling Fan's Nirvana Tribulation Fire and Lan Xue Yi's Phoenix Tribulation Fire, the already heavily wounded will of the Phoenix Ancestor could no longer turn the tables and was completely annihilated.
The masterless Phoenix Divine Robe automatically peeled off Lan Xue Yi's body.
In fact, after its demise.
The residual power of the Phoenix Ancestor was still very strong. As long as it hid within the Phoenix Divine Robe, ordinary ninth or even tenth path Heavenly Venerates would be unable to deal with it.
But the moment it chose to enter Lan Xue Yi's body from the Phoenix Divine Robe to possess her.
It was also its most vulnerable and dangerous moment.
Originally, the Phoenix Ancestor was on the verge of success.
But at the last moment, Ling Fan's Nirvana Fire reversed the situation, allowing Lan Xue Yi to successfully overcome the seventh tribulation of the Nine Deaths Spirit Phoenix Body and regain control of her body.
"Brother Fan!"
After Xue Yi regained consciousness, the first thing she did was look towards Ling Fan.
In the boundless battlefield, a divine cauldron that could seemingly crush the ancient heavens was entangled with an extremely sinister black jar.
And on the other side.
Yuan Wu Heavenly Venerate was pursuing Ling Fan, whose dragon body was close to shattering.
Ling Fan's current state was extremely dire.
Not only was he without the Samsara Divine Cauldron,
But he had also sent his Nirvana Tribulation Fire into Xue Yi's body.
He had only managed to hold on until now by relying on the toughness of his body, but by the looks of it, he was at the end of his rope.
"Heh heh, for a woman, you are truly willing to take the Samsara Divine Cauldron out of your body. Qing Yun Emperor, oh Qing Yun Emperor, you are still so foolish. You can die now! I will take the Samsara Divine Cauldron back to offer to His Majesty Dao Yi."
The divine halo behind Yuan Wu Heavenly Venerate's head suddenly enlarged, instantly forming a terrifying extreme martial kingdom that could imprison billions of spaces. Within this kingdom, he was the eternal, undefeated, and eternally unfallen sole ruler.
Ling Fan's body was suddenly frozen.
And terrifying crushing forces were pressing in from all directions, intending to grind his body into pieces.
Just then.
A seemingly incredibly delicate and slender hand suddenly shattered this kingdom that imprisoned billions of spaces and forcefully broke in.
Yuan Wu Heavenly Venerate was greatly alarmed.
He was an eighth path Heavenly Venerate, and his great Dao domain had been refined to be as solid as gold. Even a ninth path Heavenly Venerate would not be able to break it in a short time.
