The three girls pulled out their respective trump cards, which boosted their combat strengths.
In response, Gu Liufang pulled out her Immortal Weapon. However, their opponent, the Golden Dragon Young Master and the others, also activated their respective trump cards.
Yuan Xu unveiled the apparition of an ancient war god behind him. It had an aura strong enough to shake heaven and earth.
Lin Yan shouted and took out a three-legged bronze furnace. The furnace had mystical Daoist patterns revolving around it, and there was also a black ember inside emanating a destructive aura that shook even the void.
âLet me give you a taste of the Scorching Silent Flame,â Lin Yan said with a giggle.
Scorching Silent Flame was ranked forty on the Divine Fire List. Its power was not something that the previous divine fire he controlled could compare.
âRoar!â A dragonâs roar shook the sky.
It was from Golden Dragon Young Master as he jumped into the sky with dragon qi swirling around him. Then, a small, red ember appeared from the golden dragon qi, and it transformed into a Godly Phoenix that cried out a pleasant tune.
With the dragon and phoenix circling him, the Golden Dragon Young Master was basking in Immortal Spark. Every move he made contained destructive energy that could wipe out the world.
His aura alone shocked every elite who came to watch.
âThis is the Dragon Phoenix Immortal Physique!â
âHow is it possible? The Dragon Phoenix Immortal Physique? Even the most common one is an Emperor-grade Immortal Physique!â
âThe Golden Dragon Young Master has cultivated this Immortal Physique? How did he do it? Itâs unbelievable!â
Only the elites from Divine Dragon Island reacted with pride.
It seemed like they were no stranger to the Immortal Physique.
The Dragon Phoenix Immortal Physique, an Emperor-grade Immortal Physique, was a powerful Immortal Physique that combined the Godly Phoenix Physique and True Dragon Physique together.
Even the most common Dragon Phoenix Immortal Physique would easily allow a cultivator to break through to the Heavenly Immortal Realm.
It was also possible for him to push through the level of a Gilded Immortal!
Apparently, during the ancient immortal times, a host of the Dragon Phoenix Immortal Physique reached the Arch Gilded Immortal Realm.
He was only one step shy from achieving Dao Fusion!
âAre you seeing this, Huang .â This is the power I get from uniting with Huang Yan! If you did not say no to the union back then, you might have been able to enjoy such power now. Are you starting to regret it?â Golden Dragon Young Master said with a condescending tone.
He stared at Chu Hong, anticipating regret on her face, but unfortunately, Chu Hong did not show any expression except contempt.
She said, âI, Chu Hong, have never understood the word regret. Stop blabbering. If you want to fight, make it quick!â
âIn that case, I shall let you taste the power of my Dragon Phoenix Immortal Physique!â Golden Dragon Young Master said proudly.
It would be his first time showing off his Dragon Phoenix Immortal Physique in public. Every move he made was accompanied by the phoenixâs pleasant cry. His vast might shook the universe and the hearts of those who felt his powerful presence.
Even as a pure-blooded Godly Phoenix, Chu Hong was suppressed by his aura.
âHas the pure-blooded Godly Phoenix been suppressed?!â
Few of the Phoenix Maidens and Phoenix Bachelors gasped in awe.
âDamn it! My Godly Phoenix bloodline has only been awakened once, and itâs not completely activated yet. Otherwise, he would not be able to suppress me!â Chu Hong grumbled.
Further away, the two girls were also facing challenges of their own. They tried to rush to Chu Hongâs aid, but they had too much on their plates as well.
âShang Honghua, you three shall die here today! I wonder how Chu Kuangren would react when he finds out about this? Hahahaâ¦â Lin Yan cackled in laughter.
The Scorching Silent Flame in his hand burnt endlessly, slowly transforming into spears that were thrust toward Shang Honghua.
Shang Honghua wielded her own spear in a flurry and deflected the incoming projectiles.
However, her opponent was not just Lin Yan as she was also surrounded by other sky-prides. She could barely handle Lin Yan alone, and now with other sky-prides ganging up on her, she quickly found herself in a sticky and dangerous situation.
On the other hand, Lan Yu was facing a similar situation as well.
Other than Yuan Xu from Holy Judgement Sect, many other sky-prides from the same sect barely revealed themselves during normal times. However, in this Battle of Destiny, they had all decided to step out and assist Yuan Xu to seize the spot of Heavenly Champion.
With all the sky-prides assisting Yuan Xu, their combined effort could even kill an Earthen Immortal. No matter how strong Lan Yu was, she could not stand against them alone.
Bang!
Lan Yu was struck by Yuan Xuâs sword qi. As she was blasted away, blood gushed out from her mouth. The hit did not deter her will to continue the battle, but it severely exhausted her Immortalâs Core.
âHuang Hong, die!â
At the same time, the Golden Dragon Young Master channeled his dragon-phoenix energy to release a punch containing dragon qi and Phoenixâs Flame. It instantly rippled Chu Hongâs Phoenixâs Flame into shreds and blasted her away.
Shang Honghua and Gu Liufang both were falling to a disadvantage.
âTsk tsk. No one can survive the attack from the sky-prides, even if you are a Fated One or pure-blooded Godly Phoenix.
âThatâs right! Even if Chu Kuangren made it out of the Storm Belt, he would have to live with regret.â
âWhat a shame. Lan Yu, Chu Hong, and Shang Honghua are all beautiful women. Itâs too bad they have to fall like this.â
The crowd lamented and thought it was a pity.
In the void, the elites were watching the scene.
The crimson-haired Dragon Immortal from Divine Dragon Island took pleasure in the misfortune by saying, âIt seems like Shang Honghua is retiring from this Battle of Destiny now. Jade Clarity Immortal Sect should start finding their next heir.â
âYeah, and the academy too.â
The Eldest Master and the Jade Clarity Immortal Sectâs elder reacted to those words bitterly.
They were on the verge of making a move to stop the crimson-haired Dragon Immortal, but someone else had their eyes on them, deterring them from acting.
When they did make a move, a dozen auras locked onto them before the two of them could do anything. The sudden explosion of Immortalâs Core energy instantly suppressed the two of them.
âDonât waste your energy. You canât save them.â
âHundred Academy and Jade Clarity Immortal Sect, donât mess around. This is the battle between the young ones. You are not allowed to interfere.â
âAgreed. Unless a full-out war is what you wish.â
Both the elites of the academy and Jade Clarity Immortal Sect were stopped.
Back at the Ancient Immortal Ruins, Shang Honghua, Lan Yu, and the others were hanging on a thread.
With apparitions of a dragon and phoenix surrounding him, the Golden Dragon Young Master raised his hand, and an immense surge of dragon-phoenix energy gathered at his fist, ready to be fired.
Yuan Xu wielded the golden greatsword with the apparition of the war god behind him ravaging every direction with its ancient and endless aura.
Lin Yan held the Scorching Silent Flame in his palms, with flame currents all around him.
As all of them channeled their Immortalâs Core energy, all it would take was another round of attack for Lan Yu and the other girls to fall.
Gu Liufang forced a bitter smile on her face. âIt seems like this is the end for us.â
âEven if we are going down, we have to fight till our last breath.â
Lan Yu wielded the Scepter of Light and channeled her Radiant War Immortal Physique to the limit to force out all her Immortalâs Core energy.
âThatâs a nice speech.â
Shang Honghua held her spear and straightened her body.
Beside them, Chu Hong also channeled her Phoenixâs Flame, looking determined despite facing imminent defeat.
Even their attackers were moved by their unyielding spirit, but none had the intention to hold back or spare them. Since they were destined to be opponents, no mercy should be shown.
âToo bad Chu Kuangren isnât here. Otherwise, I could have taken him out altogether and avenged my Holy Divine Fire Cult.â Lin Yan grinned.
The moment he said that, a sword ray containing terrifying sword qi came flying from a distance. It shot down from high above and plunged precisely into the center of both sides.
Rampant sword qi overflowed and wreaked havoc in all directions, blasting all sky-prides away.
Even the Golden Dragon Young Master, Yuan Xu, and the others were surprised.
âYou donât need to feel too bad. Iâll give you a chance right now.â
A clear voice echoed in the air.
The crowd then saw a figure in white slowly descending from the sky. On his tiptoes, he landed on the swordâs hilt, henceforth releasing another even more rampant sword qi from the blade of the sword, which shook even the void!
All the sky-prides failed to dodge the second wave, and before they could even scream a word, they were cut in half by the sword qi.
âChu Kuangren!â
The Golden Dragon Young Master glared at the person and called out his name through gritted teeth.
