Remould the Glory of Sword Art

A deathly silence enveloped Qi Blue Mountain, the atmosphere frozen to its core.

The Saint Prince slowly turned his head.

He gazed at Venerable Heavenly Phoenix.

After a few breaths of silence.

"Buzz!"

A beam of golden light abruptly exploded and expanded, the Saint Prince unleashed his move without warning, and the Spirit Sun Rod instantly extended hundreds of meters!

"!!!"

This strike took everyone by surprise.

Even the Nether Sea Venerable and Qilin Miaofa True Monarch did not react in time.

With a dull thud.

A piercing sound of gold and iron clashing emanated from in front of Venerable Heavenly Phoenix, he wasn’t knocked flying by the strike, but instead stood firm on the talisman formation of the hall, raising his hands with palms overlapping, stubbornly withstood the blow... Hundreds to even thousands of strands of golden light and fire erupted from his Great Acupoint. This old cultivator from the Heavenly Phoenix Palace, who had long hidden his aura, released all the Yang God Taoist Intent, and the golden light and fire soared, condensing into a dark golden phoenix!

"Hmm?"

The Saint Prince squinted his eyes.

Venerable Heavenly Phoenix was a Great Cultivator with deep seniority in the Demon Country, though his cultivation realm had long stagnated at the Yin God Realm.

However.

The power unleashed by this strike far exceeded the Yin God Realm!

Previously, he had merely swung the rod casually, not using his true power, yet even against a Great Perfection, they would have been blasted hundreds of meters away, sent flying out of Qi Blue Mountain!

Clearly, Heavenly Phoenix had attained the Yang God Realm!

No wonder he dared to stand against him publicly!

"Master!"

"Master!"

Exclamations erupted again from under the hall seats.

Green Flame Venerable, Lord Yun Ling, Xuan Huozi, all stared wide-eyed in disbelief at the dark golden Phoenix Dharma.

The Cave Heaven Release activated, shaking the void.

This was undeniably the power of the Yang God.

Heavenly Phoenix’s outing this time, he hadn’t informed anyone of his ascension news, not even core disciples like them knew.

Thus, this scene was extremely shocking.

"When did the old thing ascend?"

Even Wu Jiu, tightly gripping his wine cup, showed an astonished look in his eyes, suddenly understanding many things. No wonder the Great Palace Master ceded a portion of Red Flame Great Venerable’s Taoist site to Heavenly Phoenix, no wonder this birthday feast was so significant, appointing Heavenly Phoenix to attend.

If Heavenly Phoenix had truly ascended to the Yang God Realm, then everything made sense!

At this moment.

Among everyone present, the most shocked was Yuan Huo.

"Yang God..."

"This old thief Heavenly Phoenix had actually ascended to the Yang God!"

Venerable Yuan Huo’s pupils contracted, his drunkenness vanished instantly.

He recalled the scene earlier at the foot of the mountain, where he was suppressed by the Dao Domain.

If Heavenly Phoenix had already ascended...

Then his previous strike was clearly aiming to abolish his foundation!

So insidious, so malicious!

"Damn, this old thing is really shady... hiding cultivation even after becoming a Yang God Great Cultivator?"

Venerable Yuan Huo couldn’t help but curse inwardly.

At this moment, he felt his hair stand on end, a pang of heart-pounding fear.

If not for the intervention of Qilin Miaofa True Monarch, he couldn’t imagine the Great Tribulation he would have faced.

...

...

However,

The evenly matched scene at Qi Blue Mountain’s peak lasted about only three breaths.

"Hmph!"

The Saint Prince suddenly sneered.

He swung the rod again, and this time the Spirit Sun Rod burst forth with ten times more brilliant holy might than before, a gale sweeping the entire hall, wine tables were lifted off the ground, liquor was scattered everywhere, even the spirit trees atop the mountain were swept upwards by the Fighting Dao Intent.

With a thud.

Under the surge of golden light, Venerable Heavenly Phoenix’s dark phoenix dharma was instantly overshadowed by all the radiance.

This was a simple, unadorned strike.

The Saint Prince never took advantage of others, he merely increased the force and knocked Venerable Heavenly Phoenix off his feet, sending him flying backward over a hundred meters.

Thump thump thump!

Venerable Heavenly Phoenix planted his feet continuously, stabilizing his stance after several breaths, almost tumbling off the peak of Qi Blue Mountain.

"Really giving you face..."

The Saint Prince watched this scene, shaking his head in disappointment.

Retracting the Spirit Sun Rod, he said indifferently, "Old man, living a few more years, have you become ignorant of the heavens? How dare you speak to me like this?"

In terms of realm.

Even if Heavenly Phoenix ascended, he was no match for him.

In terms of bloodline.

He was a direct descendant of the Holy Emperor, the purest Phoenix Blood of Great Ape Mountain.

Though the Saint Prince was young, according to the rules of the Demon Country, Heavenly Phoenix still had to address him as senior!

After all, the disparity in strength was evident!

"..."

Venerable Heavenly Phoenix’s expression was extremely unsightly.

Having just taken a strike head-on from the Saint Prince, his hands trembled uncontrollably, and blood was leaking from his lips.

He had ascended not long ago.

But having stayed in the Yin God Realm for over a hundred years.

Such accumulation over time was supposed to allow him to erupt anew... with this breakthrough, his Taoist Intent and Power of Dharma surged rapidly, reaching Perfect of the "Initial Realm" in just a dozen days!

Heavenly Phoenix was confident, even against a higher realm Yang God Great Venerable, he wouldn’t fall behind.

But reality proved... he had overestimated himself.

Even among Yang Gods, there’s a hierarchy.

Facing a Heavenly Pride like the Saint Prince, his centuries of Yin God accumulation was simply laughable.

Just a single move.

The disparity between the two was instantly revealed.

"Ha... haha..."

Venerable Heavenly Phoenix lowered his gaze.

Though he lost face, he wasn’t angry, instead, he chuckled softly.

The Saint Prince, having withdrawn the Spirit Sun Rod, watched expressionlessly.

"His Highness the Saint Prince is truly formidable."

Venerable Heavenly Phoenix wiped the blood from his lips, expressionless, he asked, "An old man admits his skills are inferior, humbled in defeat... But, is this Great Ape Mountain’s way of hospitality? Was tonight’s feast intentionally set to embarrass Heavenly Phoenix Palace?"

Upon these words.

The Nether Sea Venerable broke his silence, rising to his feet he said solemnly, "Apologies. This matter is indeed Great Ape Mountain’s fault..."

With a deep apology.

Nether Sea extended a hand towards the Saint Prince, seemingly wanting to forcibly press upon the Saint Prince’s shoulder, compelling him to apologize to Venerable Heavenly Phoenix and towards Wu Jiu’s direction.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

The sky vault had countless talisman papers swaying in the wind, this palm seemed ordinary but harbored profound powerful energy, so dense that it incited abnormality in the heavens.

Under the talisman paper’s attraction, azure lightning surged on the sky vault.

"Heh..."

Facing Nether Sea’s palm, the Saint Prince merely sneered again.

He once more wielded the Spirit Sun Rod, turning to strike at his uncle!

With a thunderous sound.

This rod swung swiftly, the golden rod shattered the void, heavily striking beside the Nether Sea Venerable, yet unfortunately under the Taoist Intent’s attraction, countless talisman papers formed a barrier, firmly blocking the rod.

However...

Though the rod was blocked.

Nether Sea paid the price, as this talisman formation was damaged significantly by the strike.

Countless talisman papers were sent flying.

This spectacle atop Qi Blue Mountain had already drawn the attention of all Great Divine Ability Users around Great Saint Mountain.

"You dare strike at me?"

Nether Sea’s voice was enraged.

"Why wouldn’t I dare?"

The Saint Prince gazed at the towering silhouette before him, grinning he said, "Honestly, I’ve put up with you for a long time!"
