第四卷 七星岛 第七百八十五章 神禽凤凰

Unfortunately, the good times were short-lived.

After a brief moment of chaos, more helpers emerged from the demon beast camp.

There were fewer in number, but they were all demons of at least the third stage. These fellows, though their spirit intelligence was inferior to that of humans, knew how to coordinate and divide their efforts. Following the command of the Snow Fox King, they transformed into seven streams and attacked the seven giants of different colors.

The demon mist surged, although it didn't completely obscure the sky, it did envelop the entire land in a demonic wind. The disciples of the Immortal Phoenix Sect were chilled to the bone by this scene, and they immediately summoned their treasures, ready to aid the giants at any moment. Driven by high-stage demons, the second-stage monsters seemed to regain their vigor. Some spat out demon flames, others exhaled clouds and mists, while some directly used their teeth and claws to tear into the seven giants with a fierce determination.

Despite being outnumbered, the seven giants were not afraid of the advancing army of demons. They had array formations left by the Immortal Phoenix Sect, which gave them an advantage. The giants pounded their chests and roared in battle.

However, despite their ferocity, the giants gradually fell into a disadvantage. Many disciples of the Immortal Phoenix Sect wanted to help but were stopped by their elders.

They were just spirit remnants, after all; it was not yet time for close combat. They needed to preserve their strength as much as possible. The world of cultivation was harsh and unforgiving, so they had to think more about themselves.

This was a cruel world, and Lin Xuan's heart was as hard as steel.

Of course, the little fox couldn't become his pet; after obtaining the Phoenix Dance Nine Heavens Scroll, he would still have to send her home. However, how to do it properly needed careful planning. If everything went according to plan, he could trick both the Snow Fox King and the Immortal Phoenix Sect into giving him some benefits.

The key was timing; now was not the moment to hand over the little guy.

Lin Xuan looked at the sleeping Snow Fox, his eyes showing a hint of reluctance. Apart from being greedy for food and sleep, this princess was quite adorable.

Facing the fierce attack by thousands of demon beasts, the seven giants finally couldn't hold on. Although they didn’t fall, half of them were injured with missing limbs.

On Mount Tianjin, the old man’s expression was terrible. The main hall had been attacked countless times in the past, but none could compare to this one. Not only did the high-stage demons lead the charge, but they also disregarded the lives of low-stage demons.

Could their sect really not survive this disaster? The old man turned his head towards the silent valley where Elder Yue was still meditating in the cold spring. This was normal; even though he had succeeded, his realm hadn’t stabilized yet.

"Xiaomei Sister, has Xiashi returned?" The human forces on Demon Spirit Island were weak, and each sect always helped each other. Before this battle, he sent two of his most skilled disciples to seek aid from allied factions using their expertise in concealment techniques. However, so much time had passed without any news.

The woman in the official attire shook her head, making the old man’s expression even more grim.

With a determined look, he decided to use the sect's strongest secret technique. If they couldn’t severely injure those tens of thousands of low-stage demons, their disciples would suffer greatly during this battle.

Taking a deep breath, the old man released an abundant flow of spiritual energy from his body.

"What is this?" The other old monsters were shocked, and some even showed signs of excitement.

This was the true power of the Immortal Phoenix Array Formation. Since its founder ascended to heaven, it had been dormant for centuries, only mentioned in ancient texts. They never expected to see it with their own eyes today.

The old man opened his hands wide, performing an ancient dance-like gesture while muttering incomprehensible incantations that sounded different from the current language, clearly passed down from a time long ago.

After a moment, he closed his eyes.

A baby about an inch in size, resembling him, appeared above his head.

The other elders of the Immortal Phoenix Sect were shocked, their expressions filled with concern. However, no one spoke; they knew not to disturb him at this critical moment.

The infant cried and waved its hands like a butterfly, casting spells continuously... As he moved, the seven giants fighting the demon beasts suddenly changed. Their bodies seemed inflated like overinflated balls, emitting light as they rapidly expanded.

Originally towering over twenty meters high, their size now made them appear even more massive.

The Snow Fox King’s face showed signs of doubt.

Did the other side want to self-destruct? He raised his head and let out a long roar.

Hearing this, the demon beasts retreated like water. However, it was too late...

A lightning bolt seemed to streak across the sky.

Seven giants exploded simultaneously with the colors red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. The power of their explosion was unimaginable, engulfing almost all the demons in the vicinity.

Of course, the impact wasn’t as severe at a distance, but thousands of nearby demons were reduced to fragments...

The Snow Fox King was furious, but after a moment’s thought, he calmed down. He had plenty of low-stage demons; could this method scare him off? Ha! You must be kidding!

However, things didn't go as expected.

After the seven giants exploded, different colored light balls flew out from their bodies.

Each ball was about the size of a head and contained runes, appearing extraordinary.

Soon, these seven differently colored light balls converged and merged perfectly. A colorful light ball about a meter in diameter appeared mid-air and rapidly expanded, emitting dazzling light... "What is this?" The Snow Fox King’s cold face showed signs of seriousness for the first time; the magical power emitted by that light ball was something he couldn’t ignore.

"King Jiang!" The Snow Fox Prince's expression also turned grim.

Other demon beasts in their transformed forms couldn't help whispering among themselves.

"Hmph, Immortal Phoenix Sect’s founder was a genius. Her sect must be extraordinary. I must have been too careless. But they have treasures; do we not? Our history is much longer than the Immortal Phoenix Sect."

The Snow Fox King snarled before speaking slowly.

"Yes!" A girl with clear eyes nodded and floated out. She was also in her transformed form, at a mid-stage level.

She was actually the Snow Fox’s half-sister from the same father but born earlier; she was the Snow Fox Clan's princess. Her name was Yuanke.

With long hair reaching her waist and bare feet, she looked incredibly charming. After ascending to the sky, Yuanke extended her slender hand and tapped her waist. White light flashed as a small object flew out.

This treasure had an amber color, resembling a tea pot no bigger than a palm. However, appearances can be deceiving; this was indeed a precious item passed down by the Snow Fox Clan for millions of years, with immense power.

However, it could only be used by women and thus always kept in the hands of Princess Snow Fox.

Yuanke flipped her left hand and revealed another small jade box. Opening the lid, a faint green tea aroma filled the air as tender green leaves appeared.

With delicate fingers like spring onions, she carefully picked some leaves, opened the pot, and gently placed them inside. This wasn’t over yet; she took out a piece of ice about the size of an egg.

Performing everything with gentle movements, devoid of any human touch, she opened her mouth and exhaled a pale silver-colored demonic flame to heat the bottom of the pot evenly, like a beautiful maiden preparing tea for guests.

Meanwhile, the colorful light ball spun rapidly, emitting auspicious energy. Soon, a beautiful bird emerged from it, its wings spanning about ten feet.

It radiated a serene aura as it looked around with pride, as if everything was at its feet.

This form and demeanor were beyond human capabilities; only the legendary king of all birds, the divine phoenix of the higher realms!
