Myriad Daos of the Heaven

The world beneath the magma was a sea of crimson, casting a pinkish glow upon the space on the Black Stone Dao Platform, beneath the mysterious curtain of light.

In the Ancient Era, the Blood Phoenix Empress and the Cyan Phoenix Empress had absolutely no power to resist the Demon Phoenix, because they cultivated the Blood Phoenix Technique and the Cyan Phoenix Technique.

The moment the Demon Phoenix Aura was released, they could not control themselves.

But when facing others, the Blood Phoenix Empress and Cyan Phoenix Empress were incomparably cold and ruthless, slaughtering countless people.

Even a man who glanced at them with ill intent would be annihilated by them.

Now, because they practiced the Blood Phoenix Technique and the Cyan Phoenix Technique, Blood Hand and Qing Xun found themselves in the same predicament—unable to resist the Demon Phoenix Aura.

In truth, it was more of an instinctual reaction of their bodies.

The moment they got close to the Demon Phoenix and felt its aura, they sensed signs that their cultivation of the Blood Phoenix Technique and the Cyan Phoenix Technique would succeed.

Moreover, as they drew closer to Jiang Jichen, the discomfort they had previously felt in their bodies disappeared.

At this moment, the Demon Phoenix’s Demonic Thought had already stormed into his Sea of Consciousness and easily found him.

"You little piece of trash, so this is where you were hiding? Just die peacefully now, hehehe..."

In the space of his Sea of Consciousness, the Demon Phoenix’s Demonic Thought transformed into a figure of Jiang Jichen with overwhelming Demonic Qi. Its smile was sinister and demonic.

Jiang Jichen also manifested. His presence was completely calm, without a single trace of an aura leaking out, the exact opposite of the Demon Phoenix’s Demonic Thought with its overwhelming Demon Flames.

At this moment, two figures of Jiang Jichen floated within his Divine Consciousness Space.

One was the thought of Jiang Jichen’s true self, and the other was the one transformed from the Demon Phoenix’s Demonic Thought.

One was as calm as still water; the other surged with Demonic Qi that soared to the heavens.

They floated in opposition, a cruel battle about to unfold.

Of course, for Jiang Jichen, this was a difficult and cruel battle.

After all, he was facing the Demonic Thought of a Demon Phoenix!

But to the Demon Phoenix’s Demonic Thought, Jiang Jichen’s tiny soul from the Foundation Establishment Realm was just trash that could be annihilated and devoured with a mere wave of its hand.

Outside his body, an amorous atmosphere was stirring, but within his Sea of Consciousness, the situation was volatile. Demon Flames churned as the Demon Phoenix’s Demonic Thought made its move against Jiang Jichen’s true consciousness.

This was a duel of souls and Divine Thoughts!

Although it was only taking place in the Divine Consciousness Space, it was even more dangerous than a real battle.

If one side was defeated, their Divine Soul would be devoured.

Facing the Demon Phoenix’s Demonic Thought and its ferocious, towering flames, Jiang Jichen smiled faintly. "If I hadn’t been willing, do you really think you, a mere Demonic Thought of a Demon Phoenix, could have entered my Sea of Consciousness so easily?"

"And if I didn’t hand over control of my body to you, allowing my demonic side to fuse with you, how could I have defeated those Nascent Soul Realm experts?"

"More importantly... without you, how could I activate the Black Stone Dao Platform? How could I find the Demon Phoenix’s inheritance and its treasures?"

Jiang Jichen didn’t back down. Facing the endless Demon Flames, he was fearless and charged forward to attack.

Hearing Jiang Jichen’s words, the Demon Phoenix’s Demonic Thought’s expression finally changed.

It had thought everything was under its control, that this tiny, trashy Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivator could be annihilated with a single thought.

However, during the previous fusion with this brat’s demonic side, it had indeed seen him use astonishing methods. Those techniques would have been considered Supreme Techniques even in the Ancient Era.

And according to this human, everything that had happened before was deliberately orchestrated by him.

’Now that I think about it, that does seem to be the case!’

First, when he was fighting the two Nascent Soul Realm old men, the boy had released his demonic side, intentionally creating an opportunity for it to seize and fuse with him.

Of course, during the battle with the Nascent Soul Realm old men, Jiang Jichen had remained in control. It was only at the very end, after he had killed his opponents and was heavily injured, that his demonic side was finally completely devoured by a wisp of the Demon Phoenix’s Demonic Thought, which then seized control of his body.

Otherwise, after killing the two Cultivators at the Initial Stage of Nascent Soul, he would never have appeared at the site of the Demon Phoenix’s rebirth flames without even healing his wounds, nor would he have stepped onto the Black Stone Dao Platform without hesitation.

’To think I was actually outwitted by this tiny human!’

The Demon Phoenix’s Demonic Thought’s anger surged to the heavens, and its killing intent boiled over.

"So what? Since you dared to let me in, I can kill you right now!"

"Die!"

The Demon Phoenix’s Demonic Thought erupted completely, transforming into endless Demon Flames that blazed across the sky, intent on engulfing Jiang Jichen.

At this moment, Jiang Jichen’s Divine Consciousness Space completely transformed into an apocalyptic scene of a world being incinerated by Demon Flames.

Faced with attacks from all sides, completely surrounded by Demon Flames, the thought of Jiang Jichen’s true self began to unseal its power.

The Soul Power of his Perfect Realm Seven-Colored Divine Soul erupted completely!

BOOM!

In an instant, the light of the Seven-Colored Divine Soul filled the heavens and the earth.

Wherever it passed, the Demon Flames were extinguished, melting away silently like snow meeting fire.

At this moment, the Jiang Jichen formed from his true consciousness was wreathed in ceaseless Seven-Colored Spiritual Light.

He opened his giant mouth and inhaled, sucking that wisp of the Demon Phoenix’s Demonic Thought directly into his maw.

"If we’re settling this with life and death, then a battle of devouring is the way to go!"

Jiang Jichen’s Divine Thought roared.

"I have the Demon Phoenix Remnant Technique! You think I’d be afraid of a human who cultivates some trash Cultivation Technique?"

The Demon Phoenix’s Demonic Thought roared back in response, fearless.

It pushed the Demon Phoenix Remnant Technique to its limits, intending to use its Demonic Thought to devour Jiang Jichen.

But Jiang Jichen was already pushing his Source Character Qi Condensing Technique to its limits. In an instant, a Seven-Color light flashed unceasingly.

"All things can return to nothingness, the Ten Thousand Spirits can all be refined into source, the Human Body Cosmos holds infinite mysteries..."

"Devour the Ten Thousand Spirits, and refine!"

Jiang Jichen activated the profound mysteries of the Source Character Qi Condensing Technique.

The next moment, the Demon Phoenix’s Demonic Thought shrieked in terror, "This... this Cultivation Technique, how can it have the aura of the source? No...!"
