第三千一百四十八章 真灵仙禽

What kind of extraordinary fortune did Lin Xuan have?

His background remained a complete mystery.

In the heavens, their battle had reached a critical point where victory or defeat, life or death, was at stake.

Lin Xuan's body was enveloped in terrifying chaotic demon energy. Old Demon Master Xue was shocked but also dared not harbor any侥幸thoughts. He unleashed all his powers and even consumed significant amounts of primordial essence energy to launch his final attack.

The howling of the厉鬼 grew louder, yet those yīn souls and ghostly creatures vanished completely.

In their place appeared a vast black river.

Water flowed clearly in front, but no sound was heard. The atmosphere was dead silent.

"This is... the River of Netherworld!"

Lin Xuan's pupils constricted. Legend had it that the River of Netherworld was located at Yellow Springs and Nine Profound Realms. Its waters could wither all things; even cultivation experts in Tribulation Transcendence Stage would have no choice but to die if they fell into its depths.

Although just a legend, Lin Xuan felt it acutely. Even he, though powerful, would face significant trouble if submerged by the River of Netherworld. The inheritance of the Great Demon Emperor was indeed formidable; this Five Elements Heaven-Absolute Array truly was an unparalleled killing technique.

He needed to break free from his seal and leave this small realm with different laws from the Spirit Realm as quickly as possible.

The demon energy on Lin Xuan's body had become overwhelmingly dense.

Boom!

A loud explosion entered his ears. His body emitted a burst of spiritual light, followed by something unbelievable happening.

As the spiritual light dispersed, Lin Xuan vanished without a trace. In his place was an enormous creature over a hundred feet long.

It had four wings and six legs, with nine terrifying heads that drew attention. Its wings spread out to reveal an awe-inspiring presence. Spiritual lights flowed across its body, making it resemble a legendary nine-headed fierce bird almost perfectly.

Flames and lightning principles flickered on each iron feather.

"This can't really be an ancient fierce bird."

The Black Wind Demon Lady was speechless. Although she hadn’t cultivated the Heavenly Phoenix Divine Eye, her phoenix wisdom eyes were still formidable enough to discern the scene within the array. At this moment, she nearly turned to stone.

If not for witnessing it with her own eyes, she would never have believed what unfolded before her—nine-headed birds were ancient fierce birds that wouldn't even flinch at seeing a king of all birds like the phoenix. However, for demons, there was always another demon to contend with. The nine-headed bird, being a true spirit, had long since perished along with its true spirit fire.

Without the true spirit, the lineage of the nine-headed bird naturally declined. Yet after millions of years, their inheritance resurfaced. But how could an ordinary human cultivator inherit such a true spirit relic and fuse it with Heavenly Phoenix essence blood? The Black Wind Demon Lady felt her mind struggling to comprehend this absurdity.

But the situation wasn't over yet.

The fierce bird raised its head and let out a deafening roar that echoed in his ears. Its wings spread, revealing endless demon energy that merged into the Nine Palaces Momentary Sword.

Then came a series of "whoosh" sounds as the Nine Palaces Momentary Sword launched countless sword lights towards one direction, starting to merge again. However, this time it wasn't using the Great Sword Technique.

A terrifying pressure spread out. Then an enormous creature over a hundred feet long appeared.

Its wings spread, and divine light flickered, making even stars dim. Endless fire essence energy surged towards it, unable to be blocked by the Five Elements Heaven-Absolute Array.

"This is phoenix energy. It's truly as if the king of all birds descended," the Black Phoenix Demon Lady's eyes nearly popped out. She was a genuine phoenix bloodline and could feel that before her wasn't just an ordinary divine bird but one with true phoenix essence, pure to the extreme, like a direct descendant of a true spirit phoenix.

How is this possible... she thought, while Old Demon Master Xue, who was fighting Lin Xuan, regretted it deeply. However, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and endure.

With fangs bared and roaring loudly, he forced out primordial essence energy, trying to annihilate Lin Xuan with the River of Netherworld, a killing technique passed down from an ancient demon emperor.

"Even if Old Demon Master Xue wins this battle, he will suffer severe damage. He might even drop in cultivation stage," said Senior Daoist Wan Xiao gravely, as he also summoned a treasure—a mirror that allowed him to clearly see everything within the array.

"Not bad, but I think Old Demon Master Xue's chances are slim."

The Black Phoenix Demon Lady’s expression was equally attentive, not wanting to miss any detail. How could an ordinary human cultivator obtain such true spirit relics and fuse them with Heavenly Phoenix essence blood?

"Fair lady, you should watch that little fellow. His powers are indeed formidable; killing his peers is no difficulty. However, Old Demon Master Xue isn't easy to deal with either. He even summoned the River of Netherworld—a killing technique passed down from an ancient demon emperor. Lin Xiao's chances aren’t many," Senior Daoist Wan Xiao said.

"Is that so? I don't think so. Since we have different views, let’s wait and see." The Black Phoenix Demon Lady spoke calmly, showing extraordinary trust in Lin Xuan.

"Indeed..." Senior Daoist Wan Xiao turned his head, as if he wanted to say more. But at this moment, something unexpected happened—Lin Xuan summoned another treasure.

It was a fiery red ring with spiritual light flowing across its surface. A clear ringing sound echoed, and amidst the dazzling light, an enormous creature appeared.

Its body length was also over a hundred feet, with fine eyes and long feathers. It looked similar to a phoenix but was slightly more slender in form, exuding an extremely proud demeanor that hinted at the aura of a world-ruling king.

It was Zhu Que!

The Fire Divine Bird!

Though not as magnificent as the phoenix, its lotus fire could burn down all things.

How is this possible?

In the entire world, there were only a few true spirit-level divine birds. In an instant, Lin Xuan had revealed three through his own body and treasures—Zhu Que, Phoenix, and nine-headed bird. Even among true spirits, these were top-tier existences.

Three enormous creatures emerged, each emitting different principles of power.

Then Lin Xuan's transformed nine-headed bird raised its head, revealing an unbelievable scene.

Zhu Que and the phoenix flew over together, their dazzling spiritual light blinding anyone who looked at them.

Boom!

A deafening impact echoed in his ears. The three true spirits began to merge.

Yes, merging—more accurately, Zhu Que and the phoenix were absorbed by the nine-headed bird.

If they were true spirits, this wouldn't have happened. However, since Zhu Que and the phoenix were Lin Xuan's treasures transformed into existence, their power absorption was merely a form of fusion.

Roar!

Nine heads on the nine-headed bird now had phoenix feathers.

Simultaneously, red lotus fire burned on its wings.

It could burn down all things, followed by crackling sounds as black lightning appeared.

Using the Nine Palaces Momentary Sword and Zhu Que Ring, Lin Xuan activated his true spirit inner core. Demon energy surged across his body, and the power he emitted seemed to match that of a legendary nine-headed bird.

It was like an ancient true spirit had been resurrected!
