Chapter 265: The Power of Blazing Flames, the Phantom of the Phoenix God

If Jiang Ni’s initial assessment from pictures and videos might have been mistaken,

then a person he had seen with his own eyes could not be mistaken.

In the Universe, the unique fluctuation of every living being’s Soul, as it intertwined with the surrounding Laws, was absolutely unchangeable!

Qin Mu!

He was the guy he had found before... Hmm?

Qin Mu looked up, slightly surprised: "When did I say I wasn’t Qin Mu?"

"Bastard! Stop pretending!"

"Just yesterday, ah no, the day before yesterday! The day before yesterday, I clearly heard you say with your own mouth that you weren’t Qin Mu!"

Tsk tsk.

Qin Mu clicked his tongue: "Look at you, so young, yet your memory is already failing?"

"You said you were looking for Qin Mu, but I don’t know which Qin Mu you’re looking for."

"The Universe is so vast, there are so many people with the same name. The Qin Mu you’re looking for isn’t necessarily the Qin Mu I’m thinking of."

Huh?

What was going on?

Jiang Ni’s head was spinning, completely unable to process it.

"You... don’t try to argue!"

"That day, you clearly timidly avoided battle..."

Hmph hmph~!

Jiang Ni’s lips curled into a slight smile, and she proudly looked down, saying: "Run~! I’d like to see how you’ll run this time!"

Run!?

Qin Mu glanced at the situation in the Secret Realm and sneered: "Seeing as it’s not easy for you to participate in a battle, I suggest you still enjoy the scenery in the Secret Realm, lest you lose later and can’t even get a refund for your travel ticket."

"Impossible!"

Jiang Ni retorted with a delicate shout: "With this maiden’s Take action, you won’t even live for a second."

Beep!

A sharp, prolonged whistle echoed through the Secret Realm.

"Battle start!" Xiao Yu’s raised arm suddenly dropped.

Jiang Ni’s pent-up fury, which had been brewing for a long time, instantly erupted.

"Die!"

"Blazing Flame · Nine Heavens Fall!!"

Boom!

Above the sky, the already blood-red lingering clouds suddenly ignited like cotton, then exploded in mid-air, rapidly falling.

For a moment.

The entire battlefield, as far as the audience could see, was covered by the falling fiery explosion clouds.

"Ultimate move opening!"

Host Xiao Yu immediately began her commentary via mental transmission, as normal speech speed could no longer keep up with such an unpredictable battle.

"Contestant Jiang Ni truly lives up to her Ancient Demon God Bloodline; at such a young age, she has already mastered the Cosmic Strange Fire, Phoenix God Blazing Flame."

"The Cosmic Strange Fire possesses astonishing power."

"It completely breaks through the normal rules of flame. This move, Nine Heavens Fall, appears to be a fiery cloud explosion, but in reality, behind it, space is ignited and exploded by the Blazing Flame. Even a wisp of shattered cloud contains the Law power to pulverize space."

"Besides space, the Blazing Flame it contains has the characteristic of infinite burning."

"From these two points, one can understand the terror of this move."

"A super-large-scale, infinitely burning flame, accompanied by spatial fragmentation, crashes down from the sky. Even a Divine Venerable would have nowhere to hide or escape from this move."

...The moment the battle began, Qin Mu had already drawn his thousand mountain sword and retreated with Void Breaking.

Damn it!

He finally had a chance to analyze the collapsing Secret Realm; how could he waste it?

A fight could be fought at any time.

But missing a Secret Realm once meant wasting an opportunity for analysis.

The main reason was that the requirements for analyzing Laws were too many.

If it was just about finding an area without basic Laws, that wouldn’t be difficult.

After all, where there was fire, there was rarely water.

Beneath the earth, it was also difficult for lightning and light to appear.

However, he had already Fused these basic rules, so there was no need to strip them away for analysis.

What he hadn’t Fused were space and time.

To find a place in the Secret Realm without space and time, the probability was probably not very high.

Even in a collapsing Secret Realm, Qin Mu felt this probability was really not high.

So.

He’d look first... "Hmph, I knew you’d run! Coward~!"

Jiang Ni looked proudly into the distance; the suppressed anger she had felt earlier finally began to subside slightly.

"Heh~?"

"Without even the courage to fight head-on,"

"A Human Race Prodigy... is nothing more than this~!"

Jiang Ni’s voice was clear and bright; even with the thunderous explosions in the Secret Realm, it was still clearly audible.

Outside the Secret Realm.

The audience’s cheers and encouragement abruptly ceased.

"What’s going on?"

"Qin Mu, why are you running? Fight her!"

"Damn it!"

"I bet on your instant kill, this is a huge loss... Do I have to jump into a black hole again?"

"Is the black hole full? Is there still space? Reserve one for me..."

..."The Ancient Demon God Bloodline indeed has something to it."

"Qin Mu wants to observe the opponent’s combat power first, then decide how to fight, right?"

"Last time against Nyx, Qin Mu didn’t make the first move either. Let’s wait~~"

"A Prodigy personally appointed by a Divine Venerable couldn’t possibly lose to the Yao Race, could he?"

"Exactly."

"Even if he loses to Lan Chu, he can’t lose to this demoness..."

"Qin Mu!"

"Go for it~!!!" 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

Countless shouts and cheers rose again, but Qin Mu’s speed only increased amidst the support.

"Hiss.."

Xiao Yu was slightly stunned: "This is spatial acceleration, and a very special kind of spatial acceleration. Hmm... how should I put it, it’s very artistic..."

"Normal acceleration is more like violently forcing a passage through space."

"But the space around Qin Mu seems to be like water, actively pushing Qin Mu forward, fast! Very fast!"

"Hmm, this speed and agility would require at least 30 layers of spatial acceleration to catch up."

What the heck?

The audience was completely bewildered after hearing that.

"What does that mean... even running looks cool?"

"But, does being cool help?"

"Stop messing around!"

"Win!! Qin Mu, don’t always run..."

"At least turn around, at least test the quality of that Nine Heavens Fall move?"

...Jiang Ni’s lips curled into a slight, disdainful smile. She extended one palm forward, clenching it in mid-air, and said coldly:

"The faster you run, the faster you die."

"Blazing Flame · Phoenix Soaring Cloud Sky!"

Chirp~!

An extremely sharp, prolonged cry suddenly echoed in the sky.

Immediately after.

From within the exploding fiery clouds, a terrifying figure slowly materialized.

Boom!

Its wings spread, their length immeasurable, completely obscuring the sky!

A terrifying pressure was fully unleashed.

In the Secret Realm, all things fell silent, space solidified, and even its inherent collapse seemed to be interrupted... Ancient Demon God!

Phoenix!

Even though it was just a body condensed from Blazing Flame, its terrifying pressure instantly permeated the Secret Realm, aweing the entire audience.

Boom!

The Phoenix God merely flapped its wings once.

Countless fiery winds swept through the entire Secret Realm.

Scorching hot!

The temperature soared!

Everything on the earth ignited on its own; even the ground began to melt, and magma burst forth, rapidly turning into gas.

Boom boom boom!

Explosions erupted in various parts of the Secret Realm.

High temperature and high pressure instantly pushed the Secret Realm battlefield to the core region of a sun...

"Damn it!"

Seeing this, Qin Mu couldn’t help but curse under his breath.

"This idiotic Phoenix!"

"Is she trying to make the Secret Realm collapse instantly?"

Originally.

If it was just Nine Heavens Fall, Qin Mu could completely use Void Breaking and the extremely agile Flying Dragon Piercing Star to escape the battlefield.

But Jiang Ni was now igniting the Secret Realm, pulling it into a solar core state.

Imagine this.

Adding an extremely volatile sun to a world that was already about to collapse and disintegrate.

No!

That was a sun many times more intense than an ordinary star.

Because the rules of the Cosmic Strange Fire, Phoenix God Blazing Flame, exceeded the explosion range of ordinary, normal Universe stars.

The Secret Realm’s first change.

It would accelerate its collapse at dozens, even hundreds of times the speed.

Contraction.

Starting from the outer perimeter of the Secret Realm, it rapidly shrank...

"Wow~!"

Xiao Yu could no longer bother with commentary and exclaimed.

"Contestant Jiang Ni’s strength is much higher than expected; her Bloodline purity can actually condense a Phoenix God phantom..."

Hmm?

The audience was displeased upon hearing this.

"What the heck!"

"Host, can you be more professional?"

"What is a Phoenix God phantom?"

"Phoenix God...!"

Ten Thousand Moons stood up abruptly, her pupils constricting as she looked at the battlefield, and she murmured, "It really is the Ancient Phoenix God...!!"

Glacier God King frowned secretly: "This is bad! The Phoenix God Clan still has such a Bloodline remaining?"

"How can this be?"

"To condense an Ancient Phoenix God phantom, even with an Ancient Bloodline, one would need to be at least in the God Realm to have a chance."

"How old is she? How pure must her Bloodline be to learn this while still in the egg?"

Void Refining God King stroked his chin, pondering slightly:

"Even if it’s an Ancient Bloodline, this Jiang Ni is absolutely a direct descendant."
