Chapter 1075 - Dragon-Phoenix World Annihilating Sword Canon
The Sovereign's Ascension
Lin Yun was in a hazy space between reality and illusion. When he opened his eyes, he noticed that the injury on his chest left behind by the Imperial Feather Realm son had disappeared. âWhere am I? Shouldnât I be at the bottom of the lake?â
He heard a voice before his consciousness completely faded and when he reopened his eyes, he was here. When he raised his head, he saw a tree in the distance decorated with many Iris Flowers. It was a familiar that helped Lin Yun realize he was in his subconscious.
When the demonic spirit tried to take over his body, he was also forced into this space. Lin Yun looked around, but the ice phoenix was nowhere to be seen. He still remembered the first time he saw the ice phoenix and the great shock it brought him. It even caught the demonic spirit by surprise and destroyed it with just a single glance. If it wasnât for the ice phoenix, his body might have been taken over by the demonic spirit.
âSenior, is that you?â Lin Yun asked after looking around.
âHmph, if it wasnât me, how else would you get here?â The familiar feminine voice sounded out in the space, causing Lin Yun to turn his head around. He could see a ball of light and the back of the figure that emitted a terrifying and ancient aura.
âS-seniorâ¦â Lin Yunâs voice trembled.
âMortal, why arenât you kneeling before me?â asked the figure.
The words made Lin Yun lock his brows as he replied, âI donât even kneel to heaven.â
âHmph, what heaven and earth? Heaven and earth weren't even around when I was born. Iâve just awoken and I need a servantâ¦â said the figure with disdain.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Lin Yun was shocked when he heard that. Just where did this ice phoenix come from? Did it really exist before heaven and earth were created?
âI'm 18 years old, one year for each era. I was born before heaven and earth, and I wonât die even if heaven and earth are destroyed. Iâm the Divine Phoenix Clanâs Supreme Heavenly Slaughter Empress of Four Seas, Eight Barrens, 36 Heavens, and 72 Earths. So why arenât you kneeling? In ancient times, even gods and devils didn't dare to look at me directly.â
Lin Yun was even more shocked when he heard that. The ice phoenix had already broken free of the era restraints and was even more ancient than legends. But when Lin Yun saw her true appearance, he was shocked. She was an adorable little girl trying her best to look cold and disdainful.
âHmph, why arenât you kneeling when you see me? Do you think I wonât crush you with just one finger?â The little girl put her arms on her waist, but Lin Yun couldnât sense any hostility coming from her. Instead, she was giving off a weak aura.
Lin Yun walked forward as he fell into deep thoughts. Seeing this, the little girl spoke coldly, âHmph. If you take another step forth, Iâll make you suffer a fate worse than death! Donât try to push it. Even the divine dragon would be afraid when I get furiousâ¦â
But before she could finish speaking, Lin Yun lifted her from the ground.
âARGGGGH! PUT ME DOWN OR IâLL REALLY BECOME FURIOUS!â The little girl began to wave her hands around and looked at Lin Yun, âPut me down quickly! Iâm the Divine Phoenix Clanâsâ¦â
Despite her protests, Lin Yun didnât listen. âYouâre the Four Seas, Eight Barrens, 36 Heavens, and 72 Earthâs Supreme Heavenly Slaughter Empress, right?â
Hearing that, the little girl wore a prideful expression and said, âHmph! Since you know my name, why arenât you putting me down? I donât like being lifted up!â
âSo our Supreme Heavenly Slaughter Empress has been lifted up in the past?â Lin Yun smiled at the little girlâs boasts.
When the little girl heard that, her face turned red, âT-t-that was from a servant of mine in the past!â
âLass, speak properly,â said Lin Yun after gently smacking her butt.
âY-y-you dare to smack this empressâs butt?! Iâm the Divine Phoenix Clanâs four seas, eight barrensâ¦â But before she could finish, Lin Yun gave her another smack.â
âIâm born before heaven and earthâ¦â
PAK!
âThis empressâ¦â
PAK! PAK! PAK!
âSob, sob! Iâm sowwie! Pwut me down, donât smuack my butt anymore!â Lin Yun only placed her down after she knew she was in the wrong. But after she broke free of his demonic claws, she immediately returned to her prideful self and pouted her lips.
âNow, can you tell me who you really are?â Lin Yun asked.
âHmph, I told you. Iâm born before heaven and earth, and I wonât die even if heaven and earth are destroyed. Iâm the Divine Phoenix Clanâs Four Seas, Eight Barrens, 36 Heavens, and 72 Earthâs Supreme Heavenly Slaughter Empress!â The little girl raised her head proudly.
In the beginning, Lin Yun didnât believe her but he had no choice but to believe her now. She was probably the indigo ice phoenix he saw before. It seemed like she was a variant of the ice phoenix clan and was captured by the Iris Sword Saint in the past. Meaning, she was the link between the Iris Sword Sutra and the sword box he carried. Additionally, she seemed weak despite extinguishing the demonic spirit with just a glance. It seemed like she had a special innate talent.
âYour name is too long. Iâll call you Lilâ Purple from now on,â said Lin Yun.
âNo way! Thatâs a terrible name. Thereâs no way this empress is using that name,â said the little girl with disdain.
âWhat about Boo then? Since you love boasting so much,â replied Lin Yun.
The little girlâs face blushed when she heard that and said, âI think Lilâ Purple sounds betterâ¦â
Lin Yun smiled as he asked, âLilâ Purple, Iâm at the bottom of the lake right now, right? How long can I stay alive for?â
âAbout an hour. Youâre too weak. Someone like the Imperial Feather Realm Son wouldnât even stand a chance against me in the past,â said Lilâ Purple with her face filled with disdain.
âWhy donât you go out and kill him then?â Lin Yun replied.
âHmph, how can I possibly lower myself to his level!â Lilâ Purple said.
Although it hadnât been long since they interacted with each other, Lin Yun knew that it was because she was in a weakened state right now. She might have been strong in the past, but Lin Yun still had to rely on himself. Thinking about the Azure Dragon True Bone getting taken away from him, his face gradually turned cold, âHow did the Imperial Feather Realm Son manage to take the Azure Dragon True Bone from me when thereâs a divine rune on it?â
Hearing that, Lilâ Purple wore a proud expression and smiled, âThereâs nothing this empress doesnât know of.â
âSpeak,â said Lin Yun. Would she die if she didnât boast this much?
âThatâs because he also has a complete divine rune in his heart with an origin not any weaker than your Azure Dragon True Bone,â said Lilâ Purple.
âI see. He has really hidden himself deeply,â said Lin Yun with his eyes flashing. It looks like not all the realm sons were dumbasses like the Nether Divinity and Imperial Diagram Realm Sons.
âOh, why didnât the cloth that the Azure Dragon Lord bestowed me activate? Iâm clearly facing a life and death situation.â Lin Yun couldnât figure out why the cloth didn't appear when he was in danger.
âThat Azure Dragon Lord still has some ability. But didnât you hear what he said? The cloth is for you to deal with those old geezers. It will probably activate when youâre facing an opponent two realms above you. If youâre fighting those in the same generation, it wonât appear even if youâre killed,â replied Lilâ Purple.
Her words made sense to Lin Yun. If he was killed by someone of the same generation, then it was probably because he was too weak and wasnât worthy of the Azure Dragon Lordâs investment. But there was nothing he could do now that the Azure Dragon True Bone was taken. So once his vitality truly disappeared, he would die. Yue Weiwei and Lilâ Red must be feeling anxiousâ¦
âSo thereâs no solution to this situation,â said Lin Yun with a grave expression.
âYou wonât die with me around,â she replied.
âDo you have a solution?â he asked.
âI donât want to die even if you want to.â Lilâ Purple looked at Lin Yun with disdain before she continued, âI activated your Azure Dragon Saint Art before you fainted, so you can recover in an hour. But now that youâve lost the Azure Dragon True Bone, thereâs no way you can defeat the Imperial Feather Realm Son. If you practiced the Iris Sword Sutra I left behind, you wouldnât find yourself in this situation.â
âYouâre the one who left the Iris Sword Sutra behind?â Lin Yun was confused. Didnât that belong to the Iris Sword Saint?
âOf course. Iâm the one who gave it to that brat back then. Otherwise, he wouldnât be able to make a name for himself in ancient times. After all, he slayed deities while in the Saint Realm. But the Iris Sword Sutra is only part of the Dragon-Phoenix World Annihilating Sword Canon, and it only has the Heavenly Soul Realm portion. If you want the complete one, youâll have to depend on me,â said Lilâ Purple.
âThe Dragon-Phoenix World Annihilating Sword Canon?â He already knew that the Iris Sword Sutra was incomplete, but he didnât think that its real name was the Dragon-Phoenix World Annihilating Sword Canon.
Luckily, he had this little girl with him. The Iris Sword Saint probably arranged all of this on purpose. Perhaps when he reached the sixteenth stage in the Iris Sword Sutra, the ice phoenix might be able to leave his subconscious space. In this short period of time, Lin Yun thought about many things.
âThe Dragon-Phoenix World Annihilating Sword Canon is naturally powerful, but you wonât unleash its full power without music. If you can touch the surface of its power, itâll be easy for you to suppress that Imperial Feather Realm Son. At the very least, your attainments in the sword will improve and you might even make a breakthrough in your sword intent if your Iris Sword Sutra went up by another stage,â said Lilâ Purple.
âSo do you want to learn? Iâm lacking a servant and my shoulders need a massage.â Lilâ Purple rubbed her shoulders as she pretended to ache.
Lin Yun simply lifted his head and smiled, âIâm no servant. Itâs a funny coincidence, I just happen to lack a daughter.â
When Lilâ Purple heard that, she immediately flared up as she couldnât allow her dignity as an empress to be provoked. She puffed up her cheeks and roared, âLet me go! I hate being lifted up the most! Iâm the Divine Phoenix Clanâsâ¦â
Lin Yun simply smacked her butt again as she spouted nonsense.
âIâm born before heaven and earth! Iâm really becoming furious now!â
PAK!
âI'm the Supreme Heavenly Slaughter Empress!â
PAK! PAK! PAK!
âIâm sowwie! Pwut me down! Iâll teach youâ¦â It didnât take long for Lilâ Purple to submit after a few spanks.
