Don’t mention a hundred breaths.

Even over a few months, he can hold on.

As the time was about to expire.

The Fiery Firebird let out an angry roar.

Its feathers, bright as pure gold, bristled upright, suddenly bursting forth with a brilliant flame spanning a thousand yards.

A shadow of the Divine Bird quietly appeared behind the Fiery Firebird.

Its whole body dazzled with multicolored light, feathers as vivid as layers of flowing fire.

It was none other than the legendary Divine Bird Phoenix.

At this moment, the body of the Fiery Firebird exuded a terrifying Dao Rhyme capable of incinerating all things.

Threads of scorching divine light wrapped in a faint sacred aura.

Making it appear godlike.

A majestic and overwhelming Spiritual Pressure quietly emerged, suffocating him.

"True Spirit Dharma Aspect?"

Shen Xuan murmured.

A crisp phoenix cry came from beside his ear.

A red-golden flame suddenly appeared.

The Dao Rhyme of incinerating all things swept through in an instant.

The entire Demon Realm space trembled.

Wherever it passed, everything burned and turned to nothingness.

"A hundred breaths are about to pass, Lord Divine Bird, you are going to lose."

Shen Xuan’s eyes flashed with a scarlet light.

His body trembled as he raised his head to let out a dragon roar that echoed through the heavens.

In an instant, Shen Xuan transformed into a thirty-yard-long Mystic Ice Divine Dragon.

The [Dragon Blood Boiling] pushed to the extreme, the Divine Dragon’s overwhelming aura surged, majestic and awe-inspiring.

The ten prepared Ice Essence Crystals exploded, releasing pure extreme Ice Spiritual Power, centering around the Mystic Ice Divine Dragon within a hundred-yard radius, forming an incredibly cold Profound Ice Domain.

In the domain, everything froze, time stood still.

Facing the surging red-golden demon fire, the Mystic Ice Dragon opened its giant maw to breathe out a cyan-colored Mystic Ice Dragon Breath.

"Sizzle!"

The two opposing spiritual forces collided, mutually annihilating.

The red-golden demon fire gradually dimmed under the impact of the Mystic Ice Dragon Breath.

The Fiery Firebird stared at Shen Xuan in astonishment.

Lasting for over ten breaths, the red-golden demon fire finally extinguished completely.

The man and the bird each transformed into True Spirit Dharma Aspects, facing each other.

Unaware of how much time had passed.

The Fiery Firebird finally came back to its senses.

Just now, its full-force strike was enough to threaten any cultivator below the Nascent Soul.

However, Shen Xuan opposite it turned out to be a Body Refiner in the half-step Divine Power Realm.

The Fiery Firebird showed a look of disbelief.

"Boy, your Dharma Aspect is the Mystic Ice Divine Dragon!"

"Do you have a Divine Dragon Bloodline?"

The Fiery Firebird asked in amazement. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

"Mm. Lord Divine Bird, did I win the duel?"

Shen Xuan was fixated on the ten drops of Essence Blood.

"This..."

The Fiery Firebird was obviously reluctant.

Yet, as a Spirit Bird, it always kept its promises, unlike the Human Race, which is not trustworthy.

"What is your name?"

"My Dao name is Mystic Ice."

"Fine, Mystic Ice, do you insist on having it?"

Faced with this question, Shen Xuan was adamant: "I insist."

"Alright."

The Fiery Firebird spat out a stream of Essence Blood, exactly ten drops.

Shen Xuan carefully collected it into a Jade Bottle.

"Well then. Lord Divine Bird, we shall meet again."

Having achieved his goal, he made a swift departure.

"Aren’t you going to kill the Blackwater Demon Flood Dragon?"

After offering a portion of its Essence Blood, the Fiery Firebird’s aura noticeably waned.

"Mm..."

For a moment, Shen Xuan didn’t know how to respond.

After contemplating, he decided to be honest.

"I plan to check it out."

"That Blackwater Demon Flood Dragon is formidable!"

The Fiery Firebird suddenly became spirited, chattering away.

"Mystic Ice, you alone, can’t defeat it."

"I’ve fought with it for hundreds of years and haven’t subdued it."

Shen Xuan looked confused.

"Lord Divine Bird, what do you mean?"

"We can join forces!"

The Fiery Firebird flapped its wings, a faintly ingratiating smile on its face.

"If you and I team up, we can definitely kill that Blackwater Demon Flood Dragon."

Shen Xuan fell into contemplation.

The Blackwater Demon Flood Dragon, which could tangle with the Fiery Firebird for hundreds of years, was undeniably powerful.

It must also be Tier Three Top Grade.

Lurking in the Blackwater Pool, raising storms.

Ordinary cultivators are powerless against it.

He himself was originally a Water Cultivator, with an Ice Technique Golden Core.

In all honesty, Shen Xuan believed he could handle the Blackwater Demon Flood Dragon.

To be safe, collaborating with the Fiery Firebird wouldn’t hurt.

Yet, the distribution of spoils needed careful discussion.

"It’s really unnecessary."

"I have some experience dealing with the demon flood dragon."

Shen Xuan acted with a confident demeanor.

"Mystic Ice, you don’t understand, that Blackwater Demon Flood Dragon is really formidable!"

"Its poisonous water is extremely toxic, most people can’t withstand it."

The Fiery Firebird persistently persuaded.

Shen Xuan reluctantly proposed a plan for distributing the spoils.

After some bargaining, Shen Xuan managed to acquire the Flood Dragon Pill, Essence Blood, reverse scale, Flood Dragon tendon, Flood Dragon skin, Flood Dragon horn, and such.

The largest piece of Flood Dragon meat, Shen Xuan painfully parted with, allowing it to the Fiery Firebird.

"Lord Divine Bird, you got the largest piece, and I only took some scraps."

Shen Xuan protested plaintively.

"Don’t worry. Mystic Ice, at that time, I’ll take the main attack, you handle the covert assault."

The Fiery Firebird reassured.

After they agreed.

Shen Xuan rested and recuperated in the phoenix tree forest.

The Fiery Firebird lost some Essence Blood and needed time to recover energy.

They agreed to set off in three days.

"There’s something I want to ask Lord Divine Bird."

"Ask away."

"This seems to be a Demon Realm space, how did Lord Divine Bird come here?"

Fiery Firebird tilted its head, contemplating.

"I was born here."

"Once I consume that Blackwater Demon Flood Dragon and undergo rebirth by fire, I will return to the Spirit Realm."

"Back to the Spirit Realm? Tell me more."

Shen Xuan immediately became interested.

However, he was fated to be disappointed.

The Fiery Firebird just instinctively felt it would be so.
