A phoenixâs cry sounded from within the palace, followed by a burst of powerful aura!
That was the fluctuation of a True Immortalâs core energy.
âOh, she has broken through to a True Immortal.â
Huang Yuyi was a little surprised, but her displeasure intensified.
Although she was also a True Immortal, she sensed that Chu Hongâs newly broken-through True Immortal aura was much more powerful than hers back then!
In other words, if she were to face off against Chu Hong back when she had just become a True Immortal, chances were that she would likely lose!
âD*mn it. It must be Huang Jinghuangâs inheritance!â
âHer inheritance was supposed to belong to me in the first place,â Huang Yuyi said as she gritted her teeth with dissatisfaction.
Meanwhile, on a mountain top beyond the restriction seals, a white figure was standing proudly with an otherworldly aura emanating from him.
Having sensed the True Immortal aura coming from the palace, he chuckled. âIt looks like Lil Red has broken through to a True Immortal.â
That person was none other than Chu Kuangren.
He had been there for two months and merely chose not to reveal himself.
After all, with Huang Jinghuangâs restrictions still active, the sky-prides eyeing Chu Hongâs inheritance could not enter the palace for the time being. Hence, he decided to observe the situation from afar.
âMaster, although Lil Red has become a True Immortal, the surrounding restrictions will soon be broken through. Iâm afraid the other sky-prides will not let her go that easily.â Lan Yu, who was beside him, said anxiously.
Although everyone knew about Chu Hongâs relationship with Chu Kuangren, some would not dare to attack her for fear of Chu Kuangren.
However, Prodigies like Loong Zhen and Huang Yuyi would not give up that easily.
Whether it be their desire to obtain Huang Jinghuangâs inheritance or their arrogance, they would never back down easily regardless.
âItâs fine either way. Iâm here.â Chu Kuangren chuckled, not the slightest bit worried about the crowd of Prodigies at all.
With him around, would the Prodigies dare to kill Chu Hong?
âThis is Lil Redâs Opportunity of Fortune and training, so I wonât interfere unless her life is at risk. Besides, Iâm also eager to find out how much she has improved throughout the last few years,â Chu Kuangren replied with a laugh. That was the main reason why he had not revealed himself.
Every sky-pride had to undergo hardships and training to improve, and Chu Hong was no exception.
He also believed that Chu Hong never wished to forever be a bird living under his wing for protection.
Her goal was to become a supreme Godly Phoenix that could soar through the skies unchallenged and without fear!
Inside the palace, Chu Hong suddenly opened her eyes, revealing the golden-red Phoenix Flame burning within. Her scorching and domineering aura immediately spread throughout the whole palace.
âCongratulations, you are now a True Immortal.â Huang Jinghuangâs voice sounded.
âItâs all thanks to you and your inheritance, Senior Sister Jinghuang. Iâm deeply grateful for everything youâve done for me.â
âSince Iâve chosen you as the inheritor of my legacy, my inheritance is as good as yours. Thereâs no need to thank me. Besides, my Immortal Consciousness is going to disperse soon, including the restrictions Iâve placed outside. However, seeing the crowd of people outside eyeing to steal what youâve obtained, are you confident you can deal with them?â said Huang Jinghuang calmly.
âHmph. No matter how hard the path ahead lies, I will never give up or back down. After all, I have to uphold your legacy, Senior Sister Jinghuang, and become as powerful as the Phoenix Forefather one day!â
As Chu Hong laughed, a raging fighting intent erupted from her body.
âVery well. I hope you can fulfill my dying wish and reign supreme in the skies!â
Huang Jinghuang chuckled, and her Immortal Consciousness dissipated right after.
Chu Hong slowly stood up and bowed in the direction Huang Jinghuangâs Immortal Consciousness disappeared. Then, she looked outside the palace with flames seemingly burning in her eyes.
âI shall use all of you to test my newfound strength!â
â¦
When the restrictions outside the palace suddenly dissipated, Huang Yuyi, Loong Zhen, and the other sky-pridesâ eyes immediately lit up. âWe did it!â
Some of the sky-prides immediately turned into a ray of light and dashed toward the palace as they could not control their desires for the treasures any longer.
âI donât care who you are and whether youâre related to Chu Kuangren, hand over the treasures right now!â
âThatâs right. The treasures belong to people who deserve them, people like us!â
Although those sky-prides were not as powerful as the Prodigies, some of them were still formidable opponents. Otherwise, they would not have the courage to steal Chu Hongâs treasures.
Just as they were approaching the palace, a wave of golden-red Phoenix Flames and a burst of tyrannical aura swept out!
Boom!
The sky-prides who charged forth took the brunt of the attack and were blasted away by the burst of Phoenix Flame. The weaker ones among them immediately burned into ashes on the spot!
The Phoenix Flames were domineering, as if hellbent on setting the world on fire!
Amidst the scorching Phoenix Flames, a mighty red figure walked out proudly!
She had a delicate appearance, donned in bright red armor while exuding a domineering and noble auraâ¦
It was as if a warrior queen had appeared, and her chilling aura instantly shocked all who were present!
âNow, who shall be my first opponent?!â
Chu Hong furrowed her eyebrows while her fiery-red eyes swept across every sky-pride at the scene.
For a moment, everyone present became afraid.
On the mountain peak far away, Chu Kuangren let out a proud and satisfied smile. âDid you see that, Lan Yu? Now thatâs my sister!â
Lan Yu chuckled. âMaster has always been unparalleled and magnificent, so I guess the apple doesnât fall far from the tree with Lil Red.â
Outside the palace, Chu Hong stepped forth with golden-red Phoenix Flames swirling around her. Every move she made emanated a domineering aura.
At that moment, Chu Hongâs flames had seemingly reached the pinnacle of aggression!
âHow dare a wild Godly Phoenix like you act with such insolence before me?!â
Huang Yuyi glared at Chu Hong.
Then, she approached Chu Hong and raised her hand, unleashing a giant palm made out of Phoenix Flames forward!
âOh, Phoenix Flames, huh? Youâre from the Phoenixâs Nest.â
âJudging by her aura, sheâs a Prodigy from the Phoenixâs Nest!â
Chu Hongâs eyes lit up. âVery well. I shall find out how powerful I am against the Phoenixâs Nestâs Prodigy then!â
She did not evade nor retreat. Instead, she unleashed a similar attack with her Phoenix Flames.
When the two Phoenix Flames collided in the void, explosions broke out in the surrounding terrain.
Everywhere was burned to nothing by the two Phoenix Flames.
âPhoenix Claw!â
Huang Yuyi raised her hand, unleashing her Phoenix Flames once more. This time, her hand turned into a gigantic claw that came crashing down from the sky!
âPhoenix Claw!â
Chu Hong immediately retaliated with the same cultivation technique, refusing to back down!
The two Phoenix Claw attacks clashed against each other, forcing the two Godly Phoenixes backward.
âThatâs a Phoenixâs Nest cultivation technique. Youâve obtained Huang Jinghuangâs inheritance!â
At that, Huang Yuyiâs expression turned cold.
âAs a younger generation among the Phoenixâs Nest, you shouldnât address Senior Sister by her name but as Phoenix Queen,â said Chu Hong indifferently. She was clearly displeased with Huang Yuyiâs attitude.
âHmph. To think she gave her inheritance to an unknown and wild Godly Phoenix like you instead of me? She must be blind. What kind of Phoenix Queen does that?â
âHow dare you!â
Chu Hongâs gaze became more chilling.
Having given Chu Hong her inheritance, Huang Jinghuang was now akin to her teacher. How could Chu Hong possibly allow others to disrespect Huang Jinghuang in such a manner?
âCome, my Heavenly Phoenix Standard!â
A golden-red standard suddenly appeared in Chu Hongâs grasp.
As she waved the flag on the standard, the surrounding Phoenix Flames strengthened and became even more terrifying. At that moment, her Phoenix Flames overpowered Huang Yuyiâs.
âThatâs the Heavenly Phoenix Standard! An item that Huang Jinghuang used during her youth.â
Huang Yuyi looked jealous.
Hence, she took out an Arch Gilded Immortal Weapon, a colorful orb brimming with Immortal Sparks and emanating a powerful scorching aura.
Although both were Arch Gilded Immortal Weapons, the orb paled in comparison to the Heavenly Phoenix Standard.
âI shall prove to Huang Jinghuang in heaven that giving you her inheritance was the biggest mistake she has ever made!â Huang Yuyi said with a scowl.
