Chapter 779
Barehandedly Shaking the Ancestral Weapon
Rumble, rumble, rumble—!
The pure white [Origin Nirvana Fire] was like a world-destroying torrent, instantly engulfing the void where Su Chen was located.
From the outside, the center of the great formation had transformed into an extremely dazzling white star. The extreme heat even made the million Heavenly Phoenixes themselves tremble. They were certain that under this attack, which concentrated the power of their entire race and even drained the fire elemental essence of the entire Southern Star Region, even the most physically powerful innate gods and demons of the Primordial Era would be burned to ashes.
"Hmph! Those arrogant and ignorant ants from the lower realms have finally paid the price for their arrogance!"
The eight supreme elders hovered above the array's core, watching the raging white fireball with a look of satisfaction at their revenge.
"It's a pity that the remnant body of that ancient god will likely have most of its divinity burned away under the Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix Formation. However, it's worth it to be able to annihilate such a demon who blasphemed the divine bird." Another elder stroked his beard and sneered.
In their eyes, Su Chen was already a pile of ashes.
however.
Just as this group of ancient divine birds thought victory was assured and were preparing to withdraw the great formation...
From within that blinding white star, a sudden and extremely loud swallowing sound rang out.
"Gudu."
The sound wasn't loud, but it was exceptionally clear in the silent starry sky, so clear it was chilling.
Immediately following was a series of smacking sounds.
"This kind of white flame, though seemingly fierce, is actually weak inside. It's too burnt for roasting meat, and not flavorful enough for stewing soup. However..."
A lazy, playful, yet powerful voice slowly emanated from the terrifying sea of white flames.
"It's barely palatable as an appetizer or dessert."
What?!!
The cold smiles on the faces of the eight Supreme Elders froze instantly, and the cries of the million Heavenly Phoenixes came to an abrupt halt.
Countless pairs of incredulous eyes stared intently at the center of the formation.
The enormous white fireball suddenly began to twist and shrink violently. It was like a deflated balloon, or some indescribable abyssal beast frantically drawing energy from the flames from within!
"This is impossible!!!"
The Grand Elder's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets as he roared hoarsely, "That's the Origin Nirvana Flame! The primordial flame powerful enough to incinerate the Great Dao! How could he still be alive?! What is he doing?!"
What is he doing?
Amidst the sea of fire, the blue figure gradually came into view.
Su Chen remained in the posture of having his arms outstretched, but at this moment, a ball of cyan-gold divine light, ten thousand times more dazzling than the great formation, shone brightly in the center of his chest!
That is the [Heart's Divine Treasury]!
At the center of that divine light, an ancient and weathered [Origin Dao Fruit] was spinning wildly. Upon the Dao Fruit, the dark red [Origin·Gluttony Flame] transformed into a bottomless black vortex, greedily forcibly pulling the boundless white Nirvana Flames into its own body!
"Old folks, your understanding of fire is too superficial."
Su Chen stood in the center of the sea of fire, letting the flames consume him. His crystal-clear purple-gold ancient divine body, tempered by the flames, radiated an immortal divine brilliance.
"Fire is not just about destruction."
"It is also a tool for cooking the heavens and earth and refining all things!"
"Since you all enjoy playing with fire so much, then I will show you what the true Ancestor of All Fires is!"
Su Chen suddenly tilted his head back and opened his mouth wide.
"Origin Law: Gluttony Abyss!!"
"Give it to me... suck it!!!"
boom----!!!
This inhalation was like the beginning of chaos, a colossal beast devouring the sky!
The entire Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix Formation instantly let out a mournful cry of unbearable strain. The ancient phantom of the Phoenix God, formed from millions of celestial phoenixes, didn't even have a chance to resist before it transformed into an incomparably thick white pillar of fire, which Su Chen forcefully absorbed into his stomach!
"No!! The essence of the great formation is being lost!!"
"My divine fire! My natal divine fire is leaking out of control!!"
The million-strong Heavenly Phoenix formation on the outer perimeter was thrown into chaos. To their horror, they discovered that the Nirvana Origin within their bodies was uncontrollably flowing into Su Chen's body through the formation's connection!
This isn't them refining Su Chen at all; it's clearly Su Chen using these million Heavenly Phoenixes as a power bank to supply him with nutrients!
"Quickly sever the formation! Sever the formation!!"
The Grand Elder was terrified and desperately tried to retrieve the array flags.
"Cut it off? You think you can just take it away after you've already served it to me?"
Su Chen let out a wild laugh, his eyes blazing with crimson light. The purple-gold dragon spine within his body emitted a deafening dragon roar, transforming into thousands of invisible, devouring chains that, following the formation's pathways, relentlessly locked onto the million Heavenly Phoenixes!
"Today, none of you million pheasants will leave alive!"
"Be a good servant and become kindling for me, help me ignite this divine treasure in my heart!!"
Boom!Boom!Boom!
As a massive amount of Nirvana Essence entered his body, Su Chen's heart began to pound violently. Each heartbeat was like a giant hammer smashing into the void, causing the blood and qi of millions of Heavenly Phoenixes to surge and vomit blood.
That was the sound of life reaching its ultimate sublimation!
Su Chen's physical body had already reached the peak of the fifth realm, with an excess of yin energy and a deficiency of yang energy. At this moment, the pure yang Nirvana Fire sent by the million Heavenly Phoenixes, who had poured all their resources into it, was like a timely gift, a perfect remedy for balancing yin and yang!
"Crack!"
Accompanied by a sound of shattering from the depths of the sky.
Su Chen's heart completely transformed into a [Nirvana Divine Heart] burning with azure-gold divine flames!
This divine heart is eternally alive, immortal and indestructible! As long as this heart continues to beat, even if Su Chen is cleaved into dust, he can be reborn in an instant with a drop of blood!
[Heart's Divine Treasury - Ultimate Unlocked]!
"call……"
Su Chen exhaled a long breath of scorching white air, which condensed into lotus flowers in the void before instantly dissipating.
He lowered his head, touched the strong, powerful beating of his chest, and a smile of extreme satisfaction appeared on his face.
"Thank you all for your generous gifts, old hens."
"I thoroughly enjoyed this bowl of 'chicken soup'."
"You...you demon! You cancer of the universe!!" The eight Supreme Elders were now listless, most of their essence had been drained, and their once magnificent feathers had turned gray and withered, like bald chickens in the mortal world.
"demon?"
Su Chen's lips curled into a cruel smile. He took a step forward and instantly appeared in front of the Grand Elder.
He stretched out his large hand, covered in purple-gold dragon scales, and grabbed the Grand Elder by the neck, lifting this powerful being of the Divine Bone Realm who had lived for millions of years into the air like a sick chicken. "I have said it before."
"It's a bit old, but it's still good enough for making stock."
"Thorn--!"
Without any hesitation, Su Chen yanked with his other hand, tearing off one of the elder's burning wings!
Divine blood splattered!
"Aaaaaahh ...
Just as Su Chen was about to throw the old phoenix directly into the bronze cauldron below.
Buzz—! ! !
An even more terrifying and profound pressure than the combined power of these million Heavenly Phoenixes erupted without warning from the deepest part of the Phoenix Nest, at the base of the largest Wutong Divine Tree!
This oppressive force surpassed the limits of the fifth realm and faintly touched upon the lofty realm of the gods!
Half-step into true godhood!
"How dare you, you brat!!!"
A clear, authoritative female voice, filled with boundless rage, pierced through the void and resounded in Su Chen's ears.
Immediately afterwards, a phantom image of an unparalleled woman, wearing a phoenix crown and a nine-colored divine robe, descended slowly, stepping through the void and surrounded by the image of a towering, sun-covering parasol tree.
In her hand, she held an ancient seal burning with nine-colored divine fire—the Phoenix Clan's supreme ancestral artifact, the [Wutong Divine Seal]!
The strongest member of the Undying Phoenix Clan, the Phoenix Queen, has finally been alerted and has emerged from seclusion!
"Oh?"
Su Chen stopped throwing the Grand Elder into the cauldron. He turned his head and looked at the peerless beauty who had descended. His appetite did not diminish; instead, it shone with an unprecedented brilliance.
He casually tossed the half-dead elder aside and licked the bloodstains from the corner of his mouth.
"I'm tired of chicken soup."
"Finally, one has arrived..."
"The main course is starting to get interesting!"
……
……
"You brat, immediately release our clan's Grand Elder!"
The clear and majestic female voice seemed to descend from the heavens, carrying an indescribable sense of holiness and judgment.
With this voice, the churning sea of Nirvana fire in the Southern Star Region bowed down to both sides as if courtiers were meeting their king. A peerless woman, wearing a nine-colored phoenix crown and a flowing feather robe, descended slowly from the deepest part of the sea of fire, standing on a towering, sun-obscuring phoenix tree.
Her phoenix eyes, devoid of any earthly concern, swirled with a terrifying Daoist aura at the level of a half-step True God. With just a glance, the tens of thousands of demon soldiers in the Eternal Heaven were struck as if by lightning, their bones groaning under the unbearable pressure, their very breaths abruptly cut off by this supreme oppressive force.
【The Undying Phoenix Queen】! The supreme ruler of the Southern Star Region, only half a step away from the lofty sixth realm true god!
In her slender, jade-like hands rested an ancient seal burning with nine-colored divine flames—the Phoenix Clan's supreme ancestral artifact, the [Wutong Divine Seal]. This seal was forged from the heartwood of the first Wutong Divine Tree in the Primordial Era, containing a complete world of fire within it, weighing over a billion jin. Once unleashed, it could suppress all laws of the heavens!
"Phoenix Queen, save me!! This fiend is not human, but a demon god that devours the heavens and the earth!!"
The elder, who was being held in Su Chen's hand like a dead dog, now seemed to have found a lifeline. Ignoring the excruciating pain of having one of his wings torn off, he howled in agony.
"Shut up. A dignified elder of the Phoenix Clan, terrified at the hands of a mere insect from the lower realm—what kind of behavior is this!"
Empress Feng frowned slightly, a hint of disgust flashing in her eyes. Then, her haughty gaze fell back on Su Chen, and as she looked at the golden phoenix blood stained his green robe, her killing intent solidified into ice.
"Human, I don't care what kind of demonic or evil techniques you cultivate. In this Southern Star Region, dragons must coil and tigers must lie low. Kneel down immediately, release the Grand Elder, and burn your soul to atone for your sins. I might still spare you a whole corpse."
Arrogant! Absolutely arrogant!
In the Phoenix Queen's eyes, even if Su Chen broke the Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix Formation, he was still just a mortal from the lower realm. The difference between a half-step True God and the peak of the Fifth Realm, though only "half a step," was a world apart, a world of difference between immortals and mortals!
However, faced with such divine might that would make all races of the starry sea kneel in submission.
Su Chen not only did not let go, but instead brought the Grand Elder in front of him and examined him as if he were an ingredient about to be cooked.
"Let him go?"
Su Chen tilted his head slightly, and a hint of extreme cruelty and mockery flashed in his eyes, which were a fusion of the radiance of the sun and moon.
"Okay."
Before he could finish speaking, Su Chen suddenly swung his arm!
"don't want--!!!"
Amidst the desperate screams of the Grand Elder, Su Chen, as if throwing a discarded rag, precisely slammed this fifth-realm powerhouse, who had lived for millions of years and was half-dead, into the boiling bronze cauldron below!
"Pfft!"
Golden broth splashed high into the air. The mournful wail echoed within the cauldron for only half a breath before being completely boiled away by the bubbling water imbued with the fire of origin. The dignified Supreme Elder had thus become the base of a pot of broth!
"You...you're asking for it!!!"
The Phoenix Queen's exquisite face instantly contorted with extreme rage. She never imagined that this ant would not only dare to disregard her decree, but would even throw the Phoenix Clan's Grand Elder into a pot and stew him right before her eyes!
"court death?"
Su Chen patted the dust off his hands, raised his head, and his gaze swept unabashedly over the Phoenix Queen's graceful body, a greedy smile curving his lips.
"The old hen's meat is too tough; it's only good for making soup base. But..."
"Your top-grade divine bird, which is half a true god, is full of vital energy and has a natural Daoist charm. If you were to pluck its feathers, wash it clean, and slice it into thin pieces to rinse in the boiling water of this cauldron, the meat would surely melt in your mouth and leave you with an unforgettable aftertaste, wouldn't it?"
Slice up the Phoenix Empress, who's practically a true god, and use the slices in a hot pot?!
Upon hearing this, the millions of Heavenly Phoenixes throughout the Southern Star Region gasped in horror. What utterly arrogant words! It was tantamount to digging up the Phoenix Clan's ancestral graves and dancing upon them!
"Arrogant wretch! If I do not grind you to dust today, I swear I am not a god!!!"
Empress Feng was completely enraged. No longer caring about her imperial demeanor, she thrust her jade hand forward, causing the [Wutong Divine Seal] in her hand to swell in the wind, instantly transforming into a massive star burning with nine-colored divine flames!
"Ancestral Artifact, crush the heavens! Crush him for me!!"
Rumble—!!!
The Wutong Divine Seal, carrying the terrifying weight of a vast fire world, crashed down on Su Chen with the force of Mount Tai. Even before the seal arrived, its immense pressure, enough to shatter a great world, had already caused the void within tens of millions of miles of the Eternal Heaven to shatter like a mirror!
This is the ultimate attack of a half-step true god activating a supreme innate treasure!
Faced with this power, even a powerhouse at the peak of the fifth realm would be instantly crushed into a pile of minced meat!
"My lord!! You must not take it head-on! That is a supreme innate treasure!!" The Demon Lord of Chaos was so frightened that his demonic energy collapsed, and he roared desperately.
"A supreme innate treasure?"
Faced with this earth-shattering attack, Su Chen not only did not dodge, but instead let out a wild laugh that shook the stars.
"In my eyes, everything in this world, besides food, is tableware!"
"You think you can suppress me with a piece of broken wood?" (End of Chapter)
