Unparalleled After Ten Consecutive Draws - Chapter 478
Chapter 478: The Godly Phoenix Lil Red’s Ascension, I Still Can Do It
“Tsk. If I can attract such a wonderful man like him to be by my side, it will definitely be a huge plus for me.”
The Nine Heavens sky-pride Hu Meiren thought as she smacked her lips.
She obviously found Chu Kuangren very attractive.
He had an immortal-like appearance and otherworldly demeanor.
He was also extremely powerful, so powerful that a Godly Phoenix even recognized him as her master. Then again, he did come from the lower realm, whose background and foundations were not as powerful as the ancient orthodoxies.
However, if a sky-pride like him were to go to the Nine Heavens, there would be many orthodoxies who would undoubtedly want to win him over to their side. As such, he would be able to choose one as he pleased.
Although the Heavenly Fox Tribe was not a tribe of humans, they would not mind having a human elder patriarch among them.
“It seems like that fox has her eyes on that monster. Tsk, I can even smell her thirst all the way from here,” Zhan Hongying uttered in surprise.
Then, as if she had thought of something, she immediately asked the underworld demonic wolf, “Lil Pip, do you think your old gal here can get her Acheron Stele back using that same beauty trick? ”
The demonic wolf visibly froze for a while before it tilted its head and looked doubtful. It was as if it was trying to say, ‘Someone like you?’
“Not holding any punches, huh?”
Zhan Hongying grumpily let out a punch onto the demonic wolf’s skull.
“Howl…”
In the air.
Chu Kuangren turned a blind eye to everyone’s unusual gazes.
“I’ll let you get it, then.”
Chu Kuangren said,
He was going to take the Emperor Flame anyway. However, since that item would provide a great benefit to the Godly Phoenix Lil Red, he decided to let her have it instead.
“Alright.”
After hovering in mid-air for a while, the Godly Phoenix swooped down towards the volcano’s mouth. It paid no heed to the lava as it dived inside it.
Chu Kuangren stood at the mouth of the volcano like a brilliant divine sword. None of the cultivators around him dared to do anything rash upon seeing that.
That scene suddenly evoked a sense of nostalgia in Chu Kuangren.
“Ah, Lil Red was also born at a volcano’s mouth. At that time, countless beasts and monsters were roaming around too. It was quite similar to this scene.” Chu Kuangren recalled and chuckled.
Everyone’s expression turned unpleasant at his words.
‘What does he mean?’
‘Are we no different to the monsters and beasts that he’s talking about?!’
However, Hu Meiren did not mind much.
After all, she was a type of beast. The only difference was that the bloodline of her species was on a higher level compared to those lowly monsters, so they were worlds apart in terms of existence.
Inside the lava.
The Godly Phoenix turned into a ray of red light and arrived before the bundle of golden light, which was the Emperor Flame. In an instant, it gobbled the whole thing up in one bite.
This sight stunned many cultivators.
That treasure was the Emperor Flame, an item which could burn even a Sage to ashes if they got close to it.
Yet, this Godly Phoenix could swallow the thing whole instead.
“As expected of a divine beast. It’s indeed very extraordinary.”
“The Godly Phoenix is a fire-attributed divine beast. Since even Sage Rulers have to be very cautious at approaching this Emperor Flame, I believe only she dares to swallow it whole in this world.”
Some cultivators uttered in amazement.
Considering that Chu Kuangren was around and that the Godly Phoenix had gobbled the Emperor Flame, everyone already had no intention of obtaining the Emperor Flame.
They only stayed behind because they were interested to see what would happen to the Godly Phoenix after she swallowed the Emperor Flame.
The Godly Phoenix remained inside the lava as time went by.
Boom, boom…
At that moment, the surrounding skies suddenly flashed with bolts of thunder.
A burst of brilliant colored lights appeared as seas of clouds began gathering at the mouth of the volcano, forming tribulation clouds that were as wide as five kilometers!
“It’s a heavenly tribulation!!”
“Is this the heavenly tribulation for the Godly Phoenix’s ascension?!”
“It’s a Nine Colored Heavenly Tribulation!”
Everyone exclaimed.
Meanwhile, Xiao Jingchen, Zhan Hongying, and the others were stunned when they sensed the heavenly tribulation’s aura. It was far stronger than what they had respectively encountered!
They had only gone through the Seven Colored Heavenly Tribulation.
This was the extremely rare Nine Colored Heavenly Tribulation!
“This Nine Colored Heavenly Tribulation is exactly the same as the one Chu Kuangren encountered during his ascension. This Godly Phoenix truly deserves its title as a divine beast.”
“That’s not true. This Nine Colored Heavenly Tribulation is far weaker compared to what Chu Kuangren went through. Although its aura seems powerful, it’s not as terrifying as the one then.”
“No sh*t. Don’t forget Chu Kuangren dragged several thousand men into his ascension with him, so how can this compare? Not only did he attract a heavenly tribulation, but he also incurred a heavenly punishment.”
Everyone was heated in discussion as some of them recalled the scene of Chu Kuangren’s ascension a few years ago. They could never forget his magnificent feat of dragging several thousand cultivators along with him during his ascension. After all, that was the only example of such a feat throughout the ages.
Xiao Jingchen, Zhan Hongying, and the others were speechless.
Dragging several thousand men along to partake in one’s ascension?
What kind of feat was that?
It was a shame that they did not get to witness it personally.
Boom…
From the mouth of a volcano, a ray of red light suddenly rose into the air.
It was the Godly Phoenix.
The Godly Phoenix soared through the air and let out a screeching howl towards the Nine Colored Heavenly Tribulation. The might of that divine beast spread across the whole location.
Chu Kuangren stood in the air and watched the Godly Phoenix emanating a boundless divine might. He suddenly felt like a proud father who knew his daughter had grown up.
“Aren’t you worried about her?”
The White-Robed General asked Chu Kuangren curiously.
“Well, this is something that she’ll have to face eventually. Besides, I believe she’ll be able to get through this ascension trial without trouble. She is a divine beast.”
Chu Kuangren chuckled.
The light of heavenly tribulation soon descended and enveloped the Godly Phoenix within it.
A bolt of lightning as thick as a tree immediately struck down!
The Godly Phoenix flapped her wings, brutally shattering the incoming lightning bolt with her sheer might. The level of physical strength she possessed was extremely powerful.
Following that, the second, third and fourth tribulation lightning struck down. However, the Godly Phoenix had managed to block them all without trouble.
It was not until the sixth bolt when a humongous colorful lightning python appeared.
Streaks of golden flames were set alight around the Godly Phoenix. Having refined more than half of the Emperor Flame and merging it into her own, her flames were now much more powerful.
As soon as the flames on her body collided with the lightning python, the lightning python dispersed.
The Godly Phoenix returned to the mouth of the volcano. While she stared at the tribulation clouds in the sky, the flames on her body continued to burn, and her Daoist Rhyme increased steadily.
The seventh tribulation lightning was in the midst of gathering.
A ferocious lightning dragon soon took shape.
“Bring it on!”
The Godly Phoenix yelled.
Chu Kuangren was not sure if he had misheard, but he noticed that her voice had changed a little. It sounded a little more mature now.
“Roar!”
The lightning dragon[1]roared before it swooped down!
The Godly Phoenix channeled the flames around her body and turned them into a gigantic fireball that was hurled at the lightning dragon.
With a boom, the flames and lightning clashed together and spread in all directions. As a consequence, the volcano’s lava churned and gushed out from it continuously.
The seventh tribulation lightning was successfully dealt with.
What came after was the eighth one.
The might of the eight tribulation lightning was so much more powerful than the last that even the Godly Phoenix sustained quite some injuries with her strength.
A lot of her feathers fell off as the Godly Phoenix’s blood was seen splashing out.
The cultivators at the scene could not help but gulp upon seeing the feathers and phoenix blood as they were all valuable treasures.
However, they did not dare to make any hasty moves before the might of the Nine Colored Heavenly Tribulation.
Chu Kuangren watched from nearby. As he was the closest person to the Godly Phoenix, it pained him to see the Godly Phoenix injured.
He gripped the Descendant Self Sword at his waist firmly. In the event that the Godly Phoenix might not make it past the ninth tribulation lightning, he would take action and stop it without hesitation.
Although he would interrupt the Godly Phoenix’s ascension and hinder her foundation from reaching a perfected state, it was still better than losing her life.
“Don’t worry, brother. I can still do it.”
The Godly Phoenix suddenly spoke.
She then stood up and glanced at the final tribulation lightning that was gradually gathering in the sky with determination. Even if she was injured, she was no less prideful. After all, she was the mighty and supreme divine beast!!
