Chapter 865: Shattering the Void with One Sword

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Surrounding the central hall, both humans and mythical monsters gazed in astonishment at Chen Fei on the platform.

They all understood Chen Fei1 s intention now—he meant to take on both of them!

The three-way melee just now had already been surprising enough. Many had thoughts similar to the Bloodwing Divine Phoenix, assuming the two humans would join forces first to drive the Bloodwing Divine Phoenix off the platform.

After all, the Nirvana Fire was too extraordinary. It was possible that facing it alone might not be enough to defeat the Bloodwing Divine Phoenix.

But now, Chen Fei’s actions completely overturned their previous speculations.

It was such audacity, such arrogance.

In the hearts of many, this wasn’t just audacity anymore.

The Bloodwing Divine Phoenix looked at Chen Fei, then glanced at Zhu Xiaowen beside him, and then charged straight toward Chen Fei.

As for the Nirvana Fire on Zhu Xiaowen, the Bloodwing Divine Phoenix didn’t remove it.

Although at the moment Chen Fei’s behavior seemed extremely arrogant, the Bloodwing Divine Phoenix had no trust in Zhu Xiaowen either.

Humans were always full of cunning schemes. Perhaps this was their plot—to suddenly attack while he was unprepared?

One must never let down their guard!

However, the Bloodwing Divine Phoenix chose to attack Chen Fei first not for any other reason but because Chen Fei’s words had angered it.

As a phoenix, proud and chief among birds, how could it tolerate a human being so arrogant in its presence!

Within the Nirvana Fire, the Bloodwing Divine Phoenix seemed to teleport instantaneously. With a swift movement, it appeared right in front of Chen Fei, its sharp phoenix claw slashing towards his head.

The claw shimmered with golden flames, condensing the Nirvana Fire to unleash a terrifying tearing and burning power.

If the Nirvana Fire engulfing the arena just now was merely casually displayed by the Bloodwing Divine Phoenix, this claw strike was when the Bloodwing Divine Phoenix truly got serious.

For the opponents just now, whether they were from the Mountain Sea Realm or other Monster Kings of the same level, ordinary Nirvana Fire was already sufficient.

The light flickered between Chen Fei’s eyebrows. What was originally an unpredictable claw strike suddenly became clear in trajectory. The condensed Nirvana Fire on the phoenix claw seemed capable of burning through one’s eyes just by looking at it.

This wasn’t an illusion. Under the Mountain Sea Realm, daring to stare directly at this condensed Nirvana Fire would ignite one’s mind directly.

Stepping forward, Chen Fei’s immense power drove the Concealment Sword, slashing down on the Bloodwing Divine Phoenix’s claw.

“Boom!”

The Nirvana Fire on the Bloodwing Divine Phoenix’s claw exploded in an instant, spreading terrifying power in all directions around Chen Fei. The temperature soared, as if it would burn through the entire space.

“Squawk!”

The Bloodwing Divine Phoenix emitted a painful cry, its body involuntarily thrown backwards to prevent Chen Fei from pursuing. In order to avoid further confrontation, the Bloodwing Divine Phoenix directly merged into the Nirvana Fire.

The next moment, it reappeared several miles away.

The Bloodwing Divine Phoenix lowered its head to inspect its right claw, the front half already a bloody mess, even its phoenix bones shattered.

The surrounding Nirvana Fire surged, swiftly healing the wounds on the phoenix’s claw.

Raising its head to look at Chen Fei, the anger in its eyes had dissipated, replaced by a sense of wariness.

Despite unwillingness to admit it, the Bloodwing Divine Phoenix understood deep down that this human indeed possessed the capability to threaten its life.

Its Nirvana Fire wielded power that could chill even those in the mid or late stages of the Fourth Rank. Yet against this human, it was utterly ineffective in the short term.

Earlier, its claw had shattered, but the condensed Nirvana Fire splashed out was enough to cause chaos. Yet the opponent had directly faced this blow head- on, emerging completely unscathed!

The onlookers were shaken, especially the monsters, whose reactions were more pronounced.

Because this was the first time the Bloodwing Divine Phoenix had retreated and been injured after revealing its Nirvana Fire.

Although the Bloodwing Divine Phoenix’s claw quickly recovered to its original state, an injury was still an injury.

That Chen Fei, despite his arrogance, indeed possessed strength that was unbelievably formidable.

“This is your last chance. If we don’t join forces now, I won’t show any mercy.”

Chen Fei swung the Concealment Sword, the illusory flames burning on his body directly forcing back the surrounding Nirvana Fire by several meters.

Chen Fei had indeed shown mercy. Otherwise, according to normal tactics, after one strike, he would have pursued to convert the advantage into a true victory.

Zhu Xiaowen’s eyes narrowed slightly upon hearing Chen Fei’s words. It had been a long time since anyone had spoken to him like this since he joined the Tianyang Sacred Land.

He was the true pride of the Tianyang Sacred Land. Even the current Sacred One of Tianyang, in terms of talent, was not superior to him. The Sacred One had merely started cultivating several decades earlier.

Truly, at the same level, Zhu Xiaowen feared no one!

“Human, you are too arrogant. If you wish to leave this arena, I will grant your wish!”

The Bloodwing Divine Phoenix emitted a sharp cry, and the Nirvana Fire on the arena suddenly surged, shimmering with threads of golden light.

The Bloodwing Divine Phoenix glanced at Zhu Xiaowen not far away, pondered for a moment, and then placed a mental mark. The surrounding Nirvana Fire automatically avoided Zhu Xiaowen.

First, they would knock that arrogant human off the platform. As for the other human, they would deal with him later.

“Come!”

Chen Fei chuckled softly, extending his palm and beckoning with his finger towards the Bloodwing Divine Phoenix and Zhu Xiaowen.

“Hum!”

The space on the platform rippled as the Bloodwing Divine Phoenix heightened the power of the Nirvana Fire to its utmost limit.

The Bloodwing Divine Phoenix transformed into a darting arrow, charging straight towards Chen Fei. The surrounding Nirvana Fire closely followed. In the blink of an eye, a phoenix several times larger appeared on the platform, pecking at Chen Fei.

“Seal!”

Zhu Xiaowen shouted, his hands forming rapid seals. The illusion of a divine mountain appeared above Chen Fei, instantly pressing down with terrifying force.

It was rumored that every world, every plane, was supported by a divine mountain.

This mountain’s height and breadth were unfathomable.

Chen Fei felt his body grow heavy, ripples forming layer upon layer beneath his feet. Every movement now required several times more effort than usual just to budge.

The Nine Heavens Dust Technique at the Great Completion stage, how could it be underestimated!

If it were any other mid-stage Fourth Rank, they probably wouldn’t even be able to move right now.

“You’ve been careless!”

In mid-air, Su Wenyu shook his head as he watched Chen Fei being besieged.

Both the Bloodwing Divine Phoenix and Zhu Xiaowen were among the top existences in the mid-stage Fourth Rank. Now, forcing them to besiege him had completely changed the situation.

“Young man, a bit of arrogance is normal,” Meng Guangning chuckled softly.

Losing wasn’t a big deal either. Meng Guangning believed that in the next month, Chen Fei’s strength would definitely make tremendous strides forward.

Moreover, even if he couldn’t take on both at the same time now, Zhan Xuming felt Chen Fei could handle one of them.

“Chen Fei, you’ve underestimated others a bit,” Pang Changping murmured softly.

On the platform, Chen Fei faced the approaching true form of the phoenix, a faint smile always on his face.

Within his body, the talents of Prison Suppression, Adamantine Body, and the sword shadows of Sword Dominates the Galaxy were emitting dazzling light.

Constantly immersed in the Nirvana Fire, he was constantly refining power for the Suppressing Dragon Elephant. The Suppressing Dragon Elephant could refine all attacks, including the Nirvana Fire.

As long as Chen Fei could bear it, he would refine as much as was thrown at him.

At this moment, Zhu Xiaowen’s use of the power of the divine mountain to suppress Chen Fei only brought him even greater strength.

Chen Fei had been stacking defenses to this extent for too long; no one had pushed his defensive limits. Even now, he was far from reaching his maximum capacity under pressure.

But this power, combined with Chen Fei’s own combat prowess, could erupt with terrifying force.

“Swoosh!”

Chen Fei wielded the Concealment Sword, and the surrounding space, thick like solidified substance, couldn’t hinder his movements.

Even so, the more it resisted, the greater the rebounding force, which only made the power within Chen Fei more formidable.

Several miles away, Zhu Xiaowen watched the slightly trembling illusion of the divine mountain, his expression shifting.

What kind of power was this? Just swinging his sword nearly shattered the illusion of the divine mountain.

Zhu Xiaowen turned to look at the Bloodwing Divine Phoenix, suddenly feeling an ominous premonition.

The Bloodwing Divine Phoenix condensed its true phoenix form and had already arrived in front of Chen Fei, then swooped down.

“Hum!”

The entire arena trembled as the Concealment Sword and the true phoenix form collided. There was a momentary pause at the point of impact, followed by inward indentation.

A pitch-black crack appeared at the intersection, growing larger and evolving into a black hole.

The surrounding Mountain Sea Realm and Monster Kings looked on in astonishment at the black hole.

Had they shattered the space itself?

During the most intense moments on the Fourth Rank Peak arena earlier, the space had been torn apart.

But that was at the Fourth Rank Peak! The individuals and Monster Kings on this current arena were only at the mid-stage of the Fourth Rank, still far from reaching the peak.

In mid-air, even the eyes of those at the Sun Moon Realm and Monster Emperor levels gleamed faintly.

They hadn’t anticipated such destructive power.

“Boom!”

A deafening explosion finally resounded. The black hole vanished, but a massive crack had appeared from the head of the true phoenix form, extending backward. In an instant, the crack spread throughout the entire true phoenix form.

“Boom!”

Another tremendous roar echoed out. The true phoenix form directly disintegrated, terrifying Nirvana Fire sweeping in all directions. However, as it surged towards Chen Fei, it was repelled by an even stronger force.

Chen Fei’s brow flickered with a faint light. The next moment, he appeared three miles away, slashing his sword into empty space.

At that very moment, the figure of the Bloodwing Divine Phoenix reappeared.

However, compared to before, the Bloodwing Divine Phoenix’s aura was much weaker. Though not dead, it was severely injured.

If not for the mystical true phoenix form, any other mid-stage or even late­stage Monster King would have been reduced to nothing by now.

But now, if Chen Fei were to strike the Bloodwing Divine Phoenix again, even with its powerful phoenix bloodline, it would be swept off the platform.

The divine monster Phoenix was rare to encounter at the same level, but it was not invincible.

Moreover, the Bloodwing Divine Phoenix had reverted to its ancestral phoenix bloodline.

While it was a true phoenix, there was no doubt about that, there were differences compared to those born in a true phoenix nest.

“Boom!”

A resounding explosion shook the surroundings. The Nine Heavens Dust Shield appeared in front of the Bloodwing Divine Phoenix, blocking Chen Fei’s sword strike.
