Chapter 4890
Nirvana Feather!
"Roar!!!"
At the same time, the Mirror Mirror Demon's furious roar shook the entire River of No Return. The mirror scales on its chest shimmered wildly, and the emerald green light almost pierced through its body.
Eight incredibly thick golden chains bound it tightly to the spot, each chain deeply embedded in the mirror-like scales on its chest, which were now peeling off at a visible speed.
Click!
One of the less solid chains developed its first crack on its surface. (The Chain of Gods was formed from eight ancestral veins, and Xi's eighth ancestral vein was not yet fully formed, so one of the chains was relatively weak.)
Then came the second, the third...
The God-Locking Chain was formed by Xi burning the ancestral essence and is closely related to Xi's life.
At this moment, the chains were damaged, and Xi's body trembled violently. Golden blood gushed from his mouth like a spring, and his aura deteriorated at an alarming rate.
"It seems...time is running out..."
Xi turned his head with difficulty and looked at Ling Feng, who had successfully opened up the rudimentary form of the ancestral vein. A look of relief appeared in his eyes.
The golden light between Ling Feng's brows was slowly fading away, replaced by an extremely complex mark.
That is the emblem belonging to the lineage of Fuxi.
However, Ling Feng felt no joy at this moment. Although he had forcibly opened up a rudimentary ancestral vein with Xi's help, his condition was extremely poor.
He was almost curled up in a ball, his body convulsing uncontrollably. Only his bloodshot eyes remained fixed on Xi, and he uttered incoherent sobs: "Father...no...I won't leave..."
"Silly boy……"
A gentle smile appeared on Xi's face, a smile that seemed both tragic and desolate on his blood-stained, half-sunken face.
"go!"
In an instant, he roared and used his last bit of strength to strike Ling Feng's chest with his palm. A faint golden light appeared in his palm, and then a force that was both savage and gentle suddenly burst forth.
"Go, child, don't be sad for me!"
boom!
A gentle golden wave of energy suddenly appeared out of nowhere, precisely enveloping Ling Feng's body and propelling him like a golden meteor towards the opposite bank of the River of No Return!
"Do not!!!"
Ling Feng let out a heart-wrenching roar in the golden light. He desperately tried to struggle and turn back, but the golden light gently yet firmly imprisoned him, propelling him further and further away.
His gaze, amidst the rapidly receding scenery, remained fixed on the center of the battlefield.
He saw that after Xi unleashed that palm strike, he seemed to have all his strength drained away, hanging limply on the bone claws of the Mirror Demon that were piercing through his body.
But his hands still gripped the Mirror Demon's arms tightly, and the eight chains still bound the Mirror Demon firmly.
The next moment, Xi turned her head with difficulty, looking towards the death vortex area in the middle of the River of No Return. A resolute light flashed in her already fading golden eyes.
"You beast... go down and be buried with Nuwa!"
Xi let out a final hysterical roar, and all the chains tightened suddenly, binding him and the Mirror-Eroding Demon tightly together.
Then, dragging the Mirror-Eroding Demon along, it crashed headfirst into the vortex area.
That deadly riverbed will become their final burial place.
"Roar!"
The Mirror-Eroding Demon roared madly, and for the first time, a look of panic appeared in its eerie green eyes.
Even it, once caught in that vortex, will eventually be completely destroyed and cannot escape death.
It struggled frantically, its remaining seven arms pounding desperately at Xi and the chains.
They would do anything—tear, gnaw, even detonate their own bodies—to break the chains.
Bang bang bang!
The chains snapped one after another!
With each broken hair, Xi's body trembled violently, and his breath weakened further.
But a near-ferocious smile appeared on his face.
As the last chain cracked and was about to break, Xi struggled to raise his hand and, without hesitation, pierced his own chest.
laugh!
Blood splattered as the hand pierced through his chest, tearing a huge bloody hole in the Mirror Mirror Demon's chest!
Let's all die together!
He roared, and carrying the colossal body of the Mirror Mirror Demon, he plummeted straight into the deathly abyss below like a meteorite.
At that very moment, a golden chain suddenly shot out—it was none other than—
Eight Desolate God-Locking Chains!
And the other end of that God-Locking Chain was connected to Ling Feng!
But it turned out that just a moment before Xihe Mirror Demon was about to fall into the Death Stream, ...
Ling Feng forcibly used the newly opened ancestral vein to unleash the Eight Desolate God-Locking Chains.
After the ancestral vein was opened, Ling Feng naturally became qualified to cultivate the "Ancestral God Technique".
At this moment, Ling Feng disregarded any cost; even if it meant paying a heavy price, he absolutely could not stand by and watch Xi die in front of him.
He almost exhausted all the power of the ten thousand star veins in his body, and finally, at the last moment, he successfully condensed an Eight Desolate God-Locking Chain.
Although it was almost as thin as a thread compared to Xi's God-Locking Chain.
But he succeeded in the end!
laugh!
The hair-thin chain of the God-Locking Technique suddenly shot out from the source of the nascent ancestral vein in Ling Feng's dantian!
In an instant, it was as if I had transcended cause and effect, and traversed time and space.
Just as the Xihe Mirror Demon was about to fall into the Death Stream and be swallowed by the hideous black vortex below—
The tiny, illusory golden chain pierced directly into Xi's chest.
In an instant, Ling Feng's life force was directly and firmly linked with Xi's.
At the same time, only one of the God-Locking Chains that bound Xihe and the Mirror-Eroding Demon remained, and it was covered in cracks.
Click!
With another crisp sound, another crack appeared in Xi's God-Locking Chain, and the damage was evenly distributed into the bodies of Xi and the Mirror-Eroding Demon through the chain.
Then, it was further transmitted through the God-Locking Chain between Xihe and Lingfeng.
"This is……"
At this moment, a hint of surprise flashed in Xi's golden eyes, which then turned into endless anxiety and fear.
"No... Xiaofeng... break the God-Locking Chains! You can't withstand it!"
His voice was swallowed up by the roar of the vortex.
Almost instantly, Ling Feng felt the damage transmitted by the God-Locking Chains and immediately spat out a mouthful of blood.
He stared intently in Xi's direction, gritting his teeth, "Father, didn't we agree to leave here together!"
He roared and tried with all his might to drag Xi back to his side.
However, with his power, how could he possibly shake the Xihe Mirror Demon?
The Mirror-Eroding Demon looked at its own half-body, which had already been swallowed by the vortex of death, and a hint of madness flashed in its eyes.
Immediately afterwards, he let out a sinister laugh and chose to self-destruct.
The power of this self-destruction will undoubtedly be distributed equally to Xihe Lingfeng through the connection of the God-Locking Chain.
Xi's expression changed drastically. This Mirror-Eroding Demon clearly wanted to drag Ling Feng down with him!
"Xiaofeng! No!"
Xi's expression changed drastically. He looked in Ling Feng's direction and roared in despair. He immediately released the God-Locking Chain between Ling Feng and the Mirror-Eroding Demon.
However, even without the God-Locking Chains forcibly sharing the damage, he was already within the blast radius of the Mirror Mirror Demon's self-destruction.
The damage he suffered will also be shared equally with Ling Feng.
Boom boom boom boom!!!
In the blink of an eye, the destructive energy generated by the self-destruction of the Mirror-Eroding Demon suddenly swept outwards.
In an instant, a blinding white light burst forth from the center of the Death Zone.
The blazing white light instantly engulfed everything.
Then, there was deathly silence.
Absolute silence!
Even the roaring of the River of No Return seemed to freeze at that moment. In the distance, Ling Feng, enveloped in that soft golden light and flying towards the opposite bank, suddenly tauted the slender God-Locking Chain around his waist!
next moment--
A terrifying destructive force, following the chain, ignored the barriers of space and the vast distance, and surged into Ling Feng's body like a tsunami!
It is precisely the power of the Eight Desolate God-Locking Chains that allows for shared damage!
boom!
The nascent ancestral vein that Ling Feng had just opened up could not even withstand the impact of this destructive power for a moment before it shattered inch by inch!
Immediately afterwards, the star vein was completely destroyed!
Then, his internal organs, limbs, and bones...
Ling Feng couldn't even let out a scream.
Everything in front of me vanished completely!
Then, his consciousness was plunged into an endless darkness.
dead.
Dead beyond dead.
His body was completely obliterated by the destructive energy, leaving not a speck of dust behind.
Even if it were only half of the power of the Mirror Mirror Demon's self-destruction, he still wouldn't be able to withstand it.
The next moment, the white light from the self-destruction slowly dissipated.
The Death Zone was once again filled with inky black water and countless whirlpools, as if the earth-shattering self-destruction had never happened.
The Mirror-Eroding Demon has self-destructed!
Xi is dead!
Ling Feng is dead too!
Everything seems to have come to an end.
However, at that moment, a dazzling nine-colored light quietly shone forth.
That was precisely the location where Ling Feng "died".
Immediately afterwards, the light began to slowly rotate and expand.
A nine-colored halo flowed, vaguely forming the phantom of a feather.
On the feathers flowed a mysterious power that seemed capable of reversing life and death and transcending reincarnation.
That was none other than the power of Nirvana!
The Nirvana Feather that the Nine-Headed Fire Phoenix gave to Ling Feng was automatically triggered at the last moment when Ling Feng's life flame was completely extinguished and his divine soul was on the verge of collapse.
Within this Nirvana Feather lies the powerful Nirvana energy of the Nine-Headed Fire Phoenix. Moreover, unlike ordinary Nirvana, it is the most perfect ultimate Nirvana!
Fortunately, the ultimate Nirvana power contained within the Nirvana Feather was not suppressed or affected by the Eternal Ruins.
In an instant, the nine-colored light grew brighter and brighter, and the illusory feathers became clearer and clearer.
At the center of the light, a faint spark of life was forcibly recalled from nothingness.
The spark was initially as faint as a candle flickering in the wind, but nourished by the nine-colored light of Nirvana, it began to grow rapidly.
Flesh and blood began to multiply out of thin air.
The skeleton begins to rebuild.
The meridians began to open up again.
The nine-colored light, like the most skillful craftsman, used the last remaining trace of Ling Feng's most primal life as a blueprint to rapidly reshape his body.
First, my heart, thud!
Boom!
Boom!
A slow but powerful heartbeat echoed across the deathly silent river.
Then come the internal organs, limbs, torso, head...
Then, stellar veins, like a star map, re-lit up within the newborn body, even more solid and wider than before.
Deep within the dantian, the nascent ancestral vein, which had been shattered, was re-formed under the nourishment of the Nirvana power.
The perfect ultimate rebirth not only healed all his injuries and gave him a new life, but also allowed Ling Feng to complete a new evolution during this rebirth!
The whole process, though seemingly slow, actually happens in just a few breaths.
The next moment, the nine-colored light slowly dissipated.
Ling Feng's figure reappeared in mid-air, completely unharmed.
His eyes were closed, his face was rosy, and his breathing was steady, as if he had simply fallen asleep.
The next moment, he suddenly opened his eyes.
A moment of confusion flashed in their three pupils. "I...I'm not dead?"
He looked down at his perfectly intact hands and immediately realized what had happened.
"It's the Nirvana Feather! It's Second Brother's (Nine-Headed Fire Phoenix) Nirvana Feather!"
Ling Feng suddenly remembered that when the Nine-Headed Fire Phoenix gave him the Nirvana Feather, it had said that this feather contained his ultimate Nirvana power.
Unexpectedly, at this critical moment, it actually saved his life.
Moreover, after being reshaped, his body underwent another transformation, changing from the form of a three-eyed ape to Ling Feng's human appearance.
But the joy of being brought back from the dead came to an abrupt end the next moment.
"Godfather!"
Ling Feng suddenly turned his head and looked in the direction of the Death River.
What about Xi?
That Eight Desolations God-Locking Chain...
In fact, according to the records in the Ancestral God Manual, the Eight Desolate God-Locking Chains are not an attack method, but a life-sharing auxiliary ability.
The lives of the two are forcibly linked together by chains.
If the God-Locking Chains still existed at the moment of his death, then the power of ultimate rebirth might also have been able to revive Xi at the same time!
As if to confirm his conjecture, at that very moment, a dazzling nine-colored divine light also flashed in the sky above that death zone!
It's the aura of Nirvana!
As expected, Xi also shared the power of ultimate nirvana through the God-Locking Chain!
In an instant, Ling Feng charged towards the nine-colored light like a madman.
"Godfather!!!"
He stared wide-eyed as the nine-colored light grew stronger, and soon Xi's figure reappeared on the river surface.
The power of ultimate nirvana repaired his eight damaged ancestral veins. Not only that, it even allowed his eighth ancestral vein to completely solidify.
The next moment, Xi suddenly opened his eyes, and an even more magnificent and powerful aura swept out in an instant.
"Godfather! It's wonderful! You're still alive! That's wonderful!"
Ling Feng reached out with trembling hands to support Xi's body, his voice choked with emotion.
"What...what's going on?"
Xi stared blankly at Ling Feng, her face full of confusion and astonishment.
That's impossible. How could he still be alive after being exposed to the self-destruction of the Mirror Mirror Demon at such close range?
"I...I'm not dead?"
After a long while, Xi's lips moved slightly, clearly still not understanding what had happened.
"Yes, you're not dead! Godfather, you're not dead! I'm not dead either, we're all still alive!"
Ling Feng could no longer hold back his tears, which streamed down his face. "It's the Nirvana Feather! It's the Nine-Headed Fire Phoenix, the second overlord of the Beast Sea. It was the Nirvana Feather he gave me that saved us!"
(PS: Tomorrow is Lunar New Year's Eve, I have nine good news to share!)
Good news one, I haven't stopped updating! Good news two, Xi hasn't gone offline either! Good news three, the first two good news combined are also good news! Good news four, the first three good news combined are yet another piece of good news...
In total, there are nine pieces of good news!
Ahem, getting back to the main topic, Happy New Year everyone! (End of Chapter)
