Chapter 717 - 397: A Phoenix Without Feathers Is No Better Than a Chicken
After all, it was a counterfeit product, encountering Zheng Yi, such a terrifying existence not at all inferior to a real purebred Phoenix, it was simply out of luck.
The invisible Sun Divine Will struck, directly shattering the soul.
"Hand it over!"
Zheng Yi snorted coldly, utterly without scruples.
Reaching out, a gigantic hand wrapped in invisible golden True Sun Flame encompassed the nine heavens, grabbing the cultivator from Phoenix Cry Island in one fell swoop.
With a mournful cry, the still-living cultivator from Phoenix Cry Island could no longer hold on, completely transforming into a giant Five-Colored Phoenix, captured entirely by Zheng Yi’s five fingers, thoroughly suppressed.
The divine soul almost shattered.
"How dare you!"
At this moment, a brilliant golden light shot out from afar, followed closely by several five-colored rays soaring into the sky.
The other cultivators of Phoenix Cry Island came rushing in, led by none other than the Third Princess Chi Yu Fairy of Phoenix Cry Island.
But Zheng Yi couldn’t hear her words, with one hand, he grabbed the Five-Colored Phoenix alive, like a dead chicken, stuffing it into the gradually expanding Thunder City.
Thunder City thundered loudly, rotating in the sky, with five empty imprints shining brilliantly.
A massive chain clattered and vibrated, tightly binding the Five-Colored Phoenix, dragging it into the city.
Gradually, the Five Elements Thunder permeated, beginning to refine it.
...
The majestic Thunder City, its roaring sounds gradually drowned out the wailing of the Phoenix, even the once terrifying Nascent Soul Stage Phoenix Bird, under the terrifying refinement of the thunder in Thunder City could not put up any resistance whatsoever.
"Damn blasphemer, release them immediately!"
The Third Princess Chi Yu Fairy, rushing from afar, let out a sharp shout, overshadowing the thunder in the sky and enveloping the entire world, all sounds dissipating, leaving only her words echoing in one’s ear.
This was truly urgent, employing Divine Power for Thousand-Mile Sound Transmission.
But Zheng Yi paid her no heed, coldly glancing at her once, before disregarding her.
This descendant of the divine beast, known for her purest Phoenix Bloodline, might be extremely precious in the eyes of others, but in his eyes, she’s just a feathered creature, nothing more than cultivation resources. Since they are already on bad terms, why bother placing them in his eyes.
Let alone listening to her command, sparing this already obtained prize.
The higher his cultivation, the more indifferent Zheng Yi’s heart spirit became, as if naturally aloof above all creations, towering like the Heavenly Dao overlooking the human world, viewing all things as mere straw dogs.
This is not his true nature of indifference.
Rather, it is the coldness of high places, under the Great Dao, an inevitable choice.
To him, whether it is the Flood Dragon Imperial Court or this so-called Phoenix Cry Island Phoenix Descendant, they are merely some claw-flashing, teeth-baring animals.
With his character, it would be fine if both parties got along.
If they continuously act arrogantly and issue intimidating roars in front of him, the only result is being sacrificed.
Back then, even when he was merely at the Ninth Grade Golden Core Realm, he dared to challenge the terrifying Flood Dragon Demon Court. Even when pursued by the then-formidable Sea-covering Demon Monarch, he showed not a hint of fear.
Now, with Zheng Yi’s cultivation and strength, he truly possesses the perspective and boldness of viewing all things as mere ants.
Now, this Third Princess Chi Yu Fairy from Phoenix Cry Island, courting disaster, directly took action against him, undoubtedly having violated Zheng Yi’s taboo.
Not to mention past grievances, even now, he does not intend to let these feathered fellows leave the Ancient True Dragon Hall alive.
"Release them at once, or Phoenix Cry Island will be at eternal odds with you!"
The Third Princess Chi Yu Fairy transformed into a Fire Phoenix surrounded by boundless flames, the massive crest raised high, head held up, a pair of slender Phoenix eyes gazing down upon Zheng Yi, her gaze filled with condescension, even her voice becoming an absolute tone.
"Eternal odds?"
Zheng Yi sneered, facing the arrogantly towering Third Princess Chi Yu Fairy, he had no intention of going easy on her, saying.
"A plucked Phoenix is not as good as a chicken, what’s there to be arrogant about?"
"You!"
Having been pampered within the tribe since a young age, high above in external tribes as well, receiving flattery from numerous young powerhouses.
The Third Princess Chi Yu Fairy from a young age has stood high, considering herself far superior to others.
Everyone, when facing her, would unconsciously maintain a humble demeanor.
But this sense of pride, upon encountering Zheng Yi in a short time, was repeatedly shattered.
Unfortunately, Zheng Yi never indulges such bad habits from others.
In Zheng Yi’s eyes, all things are straw dogs, to him, Phoenix Bird Descendant and ants hold no difference other than their value for use.
They are merely a group of bird-people with wings, with no so-called special privileges.
Screech!
Facing the anger of the Third Princess Chi Yu Fairy, Zheng Yi remained indifferent and silent, merely pointing his finger at the Thunder City in mid-air.
Before the other party could understand what was happening, suddenly, a mournful phoenix cry echoed between heaven and earth.
The Third Princess Chi Yu Fairy abruptly looked up and saw not only the figures of four Thunder Dragons on the city wall but now, a Five-Colored Phoenix had appeared.
It was flapping its colorful wings, strenuously pulling the city walls forward.
The massive Thunder Chain also clasped around its neck.
"You actually let the noble Phoenix become a beast of burden like a puppet?! You truly deserve to die!"
The Third Princess Chi Yu Fairy’s face suddenly turned pale, and a fierce flame of anger emerged deep in her eyes.
In her impression, Phoenix Cry Island had always been exalted, and even if companions died in battle, it was a matter of immense honor.
But now, what did she see with her own eyes?
The incomparably noble Phoenix Bloodline had been refined into a beast pulling a carriage...
This was practically rubbing Phoenix Cry Island’s face into the ground vigorously, igniting a sense of extreme rage in her.
An unknown flame rose from deep within, swiftly engulfing her entire body, as Chi Yu Fairy seemed to be wrapped in boundless fury, her eyes also turning into burning flames.
"You deserve to die! Truly deserve to die!"
The flame of anger completely engulfed this Third Princess Chi Yu Fairy from Phoenix Cry Island, the gnashing sound of teeth echoed in the sky.
Each word contained endless hatred, and the gnashing action seemed to indicate that only by devouring Zheng Yi alive could she fully dispel the humiliation within her heart.
Clearly, Zheng Yi’s actions had utterly enraged this descendant with Phoenix Bloodline.
As an infinitely noble True Spirit Descendant, the indescribable fury quickly consumed everything, burning even her soul.
Boom!
A flame suddenly rose, centered on the Third Princess Chi Yu Fairy, rapidly spreading to the surroundings.
The flame seemed infectious, sweeping over a range of thousands of meters, transforming that peaceful space into a furnace where blazing flames continuously burned, refusing to extinguish for a long time.
"Another fine material..."
"It seems Phoenix Cry Island also distinguishes between legitimate and collateral lines; this female phoenix’s bloodline is much stronger than that of her peers, earning the highest concentration of bloodline as a genius."
Zheng Yi watched the violent burning transformation in the void.
The color of the flame gradually shifted from light red to dark red, and as the color continued to change, the surrounding temperature rapidly rose, igniting the surrounding space.
The increasingly terrifying heat swallowed the surrounding space, causing the space, baked by high temperature, to become fragile as glass.
With a slight effort, the space shattered directly, producing a ’crack-crack’ sound.
Without the spatial barrier, the thick darkness hidden behind surged forth, instantly shrouding the space.
"All enemies who desecrate Phoenix Blood will be eternally burned in endless flames."
Within the space gradually enveloped by darkness, an infinitely angry phoenix cry resonated through heaven and earth.
Following that, an earth-shattering long chant echoed across the sky, and a Fire Phoenix, raising a fierce wind, shot straight up from the boundless darkness, soaring into the heavens.
Zheng Yi looked up at this being wrapped in Life Flame, like a legendary creature born from the sun, his gaze still indifferent but slightly more serious.
After all, the Phoenix Bloodline at the Late Stage of Nascent Soul, with its inherent ancestral restoration trait, was incomparable to the previous Five-Colored Phoenix.
Compared to the earlier phoenix, this Fire Phoenix was undoubtedly more gigantic, at least over twice as large in size, and its aura was overwhelmingly fierce, reaching the peak of Nascent Soul, not far from the next realm.
Its wings spread open, and the flames filled the sky, like blooming fiery red flowers, cascading from the heavens.
Instantly, the entire space illuminated incomparably bright.
However, as the flames descended, they quickly ignited upon contact with the air.
In a short span, countless flame-formed flowers bloomed one by one in the space, transforming the originally calm void into a burning sea of fire.
The huge phoenix eyes, filled with awe-inspiring murderous intent, stared directly at Zheng Yi, a golden, brilliant phoenix beak issuing words one by one.
"This is only the beginning, soon, even your soul will be consumed by fire, your essence will be incinerated for millennia, to mourn the Phoenix Bloodline you desecrated!"
Zheng Yi, truly lacking patience with the somewhat hysterical Third Princess Chi Yu Fairy.
The problem with these Divine Beast Bloodlines is that they are always overly self-sentimental, feeling overwhelmingly grand.
Unknown to them, his previous words were the ultimate truth.
"A molted phoenix is no match for a chicken."
"Seeing how big you’ve become, your strength must be great too, why don’t you pull a carriage for me too!"
Zheng Yi raised his head, saying with a teasing tone towards the true form of the Third Princess Chi Yu Fairy.
Just these inconspicuous words completely unraveled the already furious Third Princess Chi Yu Fairy, causing her to become even more frantic.
