"This is called tamorphosis."
The massive fire phoenix in mid-air lowered its head.
"This is a part of Chu people’s cultural customs. We regard the undead phoenix as a spiritual totem; the so-called mortal body is ultimately an unpolished stone... Under the guidance of the undead phoenix, one day we can grow feathers, transform from fledglings into true birds, soar into the sky, and beco true Immortals."
As it was saying this, the fire phoenix circled twice in the air, and from its palm, a massive war halberd composed of white bones erged.
"Just like now, this is the real ."
What responded was only the scorching blade slashing towards it.
"Why are you wasting your breath while fighting? Don’t you have anyone to talk to on normal days?"
Spraying trash talk while creating psychological attacks, Du Chengfeng’s sword and saber never stopped.
"If you’re really so deprived of love, I could reluctantly play the role of your father to fill your spiritual void over the years."
"You!"
Originally intending to say a few more words, the fire phoenix instantly flew into rage.
All along, it had endured countless hardships and obstacles to gain this unrivaled power, and now, facing an opponent wielding power, this bastard dared to spew rubbish!
It should be known that, what it held in its hand was the power of life and death!
"Die!"
The massive war halberd ca down hard on its head, carving a deep ditch in the ground with its enormous blade.
But this ti, the massive war halberd was blocked.
Not only was it blocked, the five-zhang-long fiery blade even slashed into the shaft of the white bone halberd; the intense blade sliced through the twisted, contorted pale spine, stable and resolute.
The fiery blade scraped across the fire phoenix’s knee, leaving a pitch-black scar.
This couldn’t help but make the massive fire phoenix slightly dazed.
"You... how can this be?"
Recalling how its opponent had been too weak to even break its skin, and now seeing the blade effortlessly cutting through its flesh, the massive fire phoenix suddenly felt its mind wasn’t working.
Wasn’t it unable to break through the defense? How did it suddenly beco so fierce?
"You..."
"That was just a warm-up exercise earlier."
Seeing the disbelief on fire phoenix’s face, Du Chengfeng also sensed its confusion.
"You were too weak at that ti, it wouldn’t be fun to exert myself against you, so could you say less nonsense? Be serious, grow stronger, I want to see where my limit is now."
Indeed, this is what Du Chengfeng wanted to do most at the mont. Despite returning to this land, he always felt imnse changes between his body and what it used to be — of course, this wasn’t referring to any gender change, but so unknown alteration of physical ability.
Just like now.
"Hum—"
As Du Chengfeng increased his force, the blazing flas erupted more intensely on the heavy great saber.
This wasn’t the previous feeling of controlling Evil Qi, but rather he himself was supplying sothing to the saber, letting the power and will flow into it, making the saber sharper and more acute.
But what concerned Du Chengfeng more was the sword in his right hand.
Previously in the bloody battlefield, this sword was like gold and iron, but now, it had clearly transford into an illusory form; just by its ethereal, smoke-like appearance, it’s plausible it might blow away in a gust of wind.
Yet, such a sword without a physical form is firmly held in his hand.
"Is this the original form of Evil Qi?"
Du Chengfeng suddenly grew curious, feeling that the epheral sword contained so very important information.
However, his gesture of observing the weapon provoked the fire phoenix into an even wilder rage.
"What are you! Do you think you’re strong? Do you think by robbing my legacy, you truly stand out as sobody?"
Under the flow of crimson flas, the white bone halberd was restored, even sprouting feathers that dripped with flas!
But facing the enraged fire phoenix, Du Chengfeng, disturbed from his thoughts, rely frowned.
Then, raised his saber.
"Be quiet."
Buzz—
The fiery column instantly engulfed the massive fire phoenix completely.
Even though the enormous bird was clad in flaming feathers, the blaze was far more intense than the flas flowing over it, burning not rely the body but touching the very flesh and spirit — it clearly had such trendous power, but why just one slash, rely a single slash...
"Why! Why!"
The infuriated fire phoenix completely lost its sanity.
It didn’t understand why its arduous journey, even discarding its corporeal form, couldn’t match up to those gaining a good body rely by luck, nor why despite its earnest attempts at growing stronger, it still couldn’t achieve true dominance — it had abandoned so much, endured so many tribulations, why still couldn’t it grasp real power?
Why!
At this mont, the enraged fire phoenix was nearly delirious.
The Evil Qi covering its body began to stir in unison.
"Kill him! Must kill him!"
The fire phoenix’s mind was now filled only with resentnt and murderous intent.
"Kill him! Must kill him!"
All the Evil Qi surged and scread together.
Those resentful hate, those deep grudges, at this mont roared alongside the phoenix’s will, this intent to kill was imnse, fierce, even the phoenix itself was increasingly consud by it.
But it very clearly knew it couldn’t do it.
That damnable Du Chengfeng stole the power and body that should’ve belonged to it, it might not necessarily defeat this creature, not to ntion it had tried countless tis before, facing this creature, victory wasn’t assured.
Therefore, it needed to harness the Evil Qi.
Therefore, it needed to embody murderous intent.
Therefore, it needed to fully utilize this exceedingly powerful Immortal body.
"Ahhhhh—"
Originally the radiant Evil Qi waves, at this mont were fully absorbed into the phoenix, under the guidance of murderous intent, the vast Evil Qi tore at its flesh internally, reconstructing its body, distorting its spirit, even shredding its will.
"...Wait?"
It suddenly felt sothing was amiss.
The flesh that had transford into phoenix form was turning into human form amidst this turbulence?
"Wrong! Stop!"
Realizing sothing, it shouted in alarm.
"Stop! Quickly stop! No! Don’t!"
But no matter how it resisted, the turbulent flesh steadily transford, and the vast Evil Qi poured into its mind, with the piercing murderous intent shaking its soul.
This wasn’t the kind of Evil Qi integration it desired, this body was clearly transforming into so kind of monster — like the flesh of monsters it once carved, it was about to turn into one of those brainless beasts!
"No! I don’t want it anymore! I’m done killing! No..."
Even as it decided to abandon the intent to kill, it was already aningless.
Under the tremor of the vast Evil Qi, its will was ultimately assimilated, rging with the rest of the Evil Qi into this slaughter intent.
Guided by this slaughter intent, the face almost growing a bird’s beak twisted and eventually turned into a human face.
The face was one it was extrely familiar with.
"I knew it wouldn’t be easy to die."
A sigh escaped the giant with the bone halberd amidst falling flaming feathers.
Then, it looked down at Du Chengfeng on the ground.
And Du Chengfeng lifted his head.
Four eyes t.
"What happened, changed back again?"
"Yes, changed back."
The massive giant nodded.
Then it raised the white bone halberd.
"Let’s fight."
