Chapter 266: Abandoning the Form of Ten Thousand Swords, Achieving Fame with One Sword (1)

"Moreover."

"The Phoenix God Clan might have used a Secret Art to forcibly extend her Cultivation time in the egg."

Hmm~

Glacier God King echoed: "Indeed! It’s possible!"

"The Yao Race’s Cultivation period in the egg is indeed the best."

"Born from an egg, yet not truly born..."

"It is an extremely primitive and mysterious state."

"The Soul is primitive, the Spiritual Intellect is pure. If guided to comprehend Law and stimulate the Bloodline, the speed will be far beyond what ordinary Talent can achieve. In fact, she will be closer to the Universe Origin than some Divine Beings, and her comprehension speed will be faster~!"

Ten Thousand Moons God King’s brow furrowed slightly:

"The Phoenix God Clan must have poured countless resources into this Jiang Ni to achieve this step."

"It will be very difficult for Qin Mu to win now..."

"In this Pinnacle Battle, perhaps only Lan Chu, by unleashing his ultimate Battle Intent and continuously Breaking Through, will have a chance to defeat her."

Alas... The God Kings sighed softly.

"There’s nothing we can do."

"We had already fully considered the Phoenix God Clan’s actions, but who could have guessed that all the resources they had accumulated for so many years were poured into this Jiang Ni?"

"She is very likely the chosen one for the Phoenix God Clan’s emergence."

...Under normal circumstances, no clan would invest a large amount of resources entirely into one junior.

Because death is extremely common in the Universe.

Who can guarantee that a junior will absolutely not die?

If one were to guarantee this, the resources expended would probably multiply by a hundred or a thousand times.

It’s very uneconomical.

Unless... the clan has reached its end, helpless, with no choice but to fight with their backs to the wall.

They must Cultivate a junior with Peak potential to have any hope of changing the clan’s gradual decline towards extinction.

The current Phoenix God Clan is probably in such a state... a decline of hundreds of thousands of jie yuan.

Watching the Dragon Clan, who were once on par with them, join the Nine Great Clans of the Universe, while they had to depend on the Human Race to secure a corner for themselves.

As the saying goes, either erupt in silence or perish in silence... The Phoenix God Clan reaching this point is inevitable... Void Refining God King suddenly stood up: "I will inform the Divine Venerable. Lan Chu must prepare in advance. Even if it means using some special Spirit Treasures, Jiang Ni must be defeated!"

No matter what, a Yao Race must not win the champion of the Human Race Pinnacle Battle!

No!

Absolutely not!

...Ten Thousand Moons heard this and secretly fumed:

"Knowing the Phoenix God Clan’s impure intentions, why didn’t you prepare something for Qin Mu earlier?"

"Even my offer to lend Spirit Treasures to Qin Mu was forbidden, yet now you lend them without hesitation~?"

"Did you have to wait until Jiang Ni exposed her true Bloodline to speak up, or are you simply treating Qin Mu as a pawn...?"

"Hmph~!"

"Neither Jiang Ni nor Qin Mu will be able to hide their full strength in this battle."

"The Lan Family really has good plans~~!!"

These words.

Ten Thousand Moons could only think to herself.

The Lan Family’s position within the Human Race was truly not something a single God King like her could shake.

Over countless years, too many powerhouses have emerged under the Lan Family Battle Intent... The host, Xiao Yu, finally recovered from her shock.

"I apologize, I was too shocked just now."

"Phoenix God."

"The Origin of the Phoenix Clan’s name does not refer to the common Phoenix, but specifically to the Ancient Phoenix God."

"The Phoenix God roamed in ancient times, her strength unknown. But according to data, it is speculated to be far beyond the current God King or Divine Venerable Realm."

"Any remaining Bloodline of the Phoenix God has the chance to activate the Bloodline and condense a Phoenix God phantom."

"Generally speaking, the purer the Bloodline, the earlier the Phoenix God phantom can be condensed."

"An ordinary Phoenix God Bloodline would require at least the Divine Marquis Realm or above to be possible. Even an Ancient Bloodline generally requires the God Realm before there’s a chance."

"Contestant Jiang Ni, currently in the Star River Realm, can already condense a Phoenix God phantom. Her Bloodline purity is likely to surpass Ancient Bloodlines..."

...After listening, the audience, besides being shocked, mostly found it unreasonable.

"Surpass Ancient Bloodlines?"

"Are you trying to say Jiang Ni is a direct daughter of the Phoenix God?"

"Is that even possible?"

"How many thousands of jie yuan have passed... Are you telling me it’s possible?!"

"Damn it!~"

"I said it! The Yao Race isn’t Human, why are they allowed to participate in the Pinnacle Battle?"

...Xiao Yu quickly explained:

"The Phoenix God phantom is not invincible. It’s just that after condensing the Phoenix God phantom, one can Break Through more Law restrictions, and the Blazing Flame she unleashes will be more explosive in power."

Huh?

"That’s not invincible?"

"Damn it!"

"Bringing out Cosmic Strange Fire is already pretty invincible, okay?"

"She also uses the Phoenix God phantom to enhance the Cosmic Strange Fire. Who can win?"

"Even Lan Chu might not win, right?"

"Exactly."

"What’s the difference between this and fighting with Cosmic-level treasures? I could do it too. If I had enough treasures, I think I might even be able to crush Lan Chu."

Facing the audience’s doubts, Xiao Yu did not explain.

Regarding Jiang Ni’s participation, if it was considered a violation, many other races had participated before. It was just that they didn’t possess such astonishing combat power as the Phoenix God Clan. Let alone competing for the champion, even Breaking Through 50 levels was difficult for them.

The Human Race is vast, occupying the best territories in the Universe, so naturally, they have the most, best, and strongest Geniuses.

The allied races, with their small populations and territories, found it hard enough to survive. To expect them to produce peerless Geniuses—wasn’t that just wishful thinking?

In the past, it didn’t matter, and allied races were allowed to participate. This was the Human Race’s transcendent demeanor.

Now, to say they aren’t allowed to participate—wouldn’t that be admitting defeat and losing face completely?

...In the Secret Realm, Qin Mu was Spatially Breaking through.

Although the Phoenix God phantom behind him did not pursue, its continuous flapping of wings accelerated the collapse and implosion of the entire Secret Realm exponentially.

"Hmm... Void space?"

Qin Mu’s eyes suddenly flashed.

From his understanding of space from Flying Dragon Piercing Star, the area ahead had completely collapsed, making passage impossible.

Void Breaking!

Qin Mu spun in mid-air, his thousand mountain sword slashing.

The space on the right, which had not yet completely shattered, was immediately cut open with a rift. Following that, Qin Mu transformed into a stream of light, instantly passing through.

"Space has already collapsed, so it should be close to the collapsing edge of the Secret Realm."

Qin Mu thought to himself.

Good.

This might actually make it easier to find an opportunity.

After all.

He was looking for an area where both space and time did not exist.

Such a place was extremely dangerous.

Even his current self absolutely could not get trapped there, otherwise, the battle would end before it even began.

How could a Life that hadn’t mastered time escape from an area where time didn’t exist?

Isn’t that ridiculous?

Therefore.

The closer he got to the collapsing area, the more careful Qin Mu had to be.

He needed to find a special area that met his requirements for analysis, while also ensuring he didn’t get trapped within it.

"No, time still exists here!"

Qin Mu glanced ahead.

It was a void, yet dazzling, area.

Void, referring to the spatial void.

Dazzling, because a large number of Laws were disintegrating, emitting brilliant and captivating light.

The Secret Realm was collapsing madly.

Space, like a tide, swept up all matter and rules, rushing towards him.

The destructive power contained within it could even swallow the occasional small black holes that erupted.

"Cannot go any further."

Turn.

Qin Mu accelerated to his maximum speed, like a flood Dragon, shuttling through the shattered space, lingering on the edge of the world’s collapse... Behind Jiang Ni, her Phoenix Feather Robe fluttered in the air, corresponding to the Phoenix God phantom in the sky, which bore a seventy percent resemblance.

"Under the Phoenix God’s feathers, all things burn to ashes!"

Jiang Ni spread her arms, and the feathered robe behind her suddenly bloomed. Her eyes were like fire, her expression arrogant and cold, and her lips parted slightly:

"Burn~!"

In an instant.

Even the space within the Secret Realm began to turn into fuel, feeding into that explosion which surpassed stars.

Explode!

Infinitely explode!

At this moment.

Even the audience outside the arena felt as if they were being suffocated by this explosion, powerful enough to ignite a galaxy.

Terrifying... The Ancient Demon God Bloodline, the Phoenix God phantom, possessed such power...!!!

Hiss!

In a breath,

Qin Mu had almost circled half of the Secret Realm.

The speed of the collapse was too fast, and many areas had become too dangerous to cross.

Now, the places where one could Move within the Secret Realm were becoming fewer and fewer.

Annoyed.

Qin Mu had searched for so long, yet still had no clue.

He simply turned around, sword in hand, his brows furrowed:

"Little Phoenix, you’ve been chattering from beginning to end. Are you in a hurry to reincarnate?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ni immediately retorted, "This maiden is a Phoenix; I don’t need to reincarnate~"

"Hiss... that makes sense!"

Qin Mu scratched his temple and grinned, "Could it be to reincarnate into an egg~?"

Jiang Ni’s eyes blazed with fire, and she stomped her foot in anger, biting her lip, "Bastard~!! Go to hell~~!!"

Ha.

Qin Mu shrugged indifferently.

The collapse was so rapid that even if he found an area that could be analyzed, there probably wouldn’t be enough time for the System to operate.

Thinking of this,

Qin Mu suddenly flicked out his thousand mountain sword with a whoosh, a slight curve on his lips:

"I haven’t tried pushing this Move with the All-Element Domain yet."

"Thousand Mountains Sword Second Form."

As Qin Mu lightly spoke, a thousand Sword Mountains suddenly condensed within the Secret Realm.

Mountains towering ten thousand zhang high, covered in sword-light.

Clouds and mist swirled among the mountains, lightning flashed and thunder roared, possessing the might of pine and cypress, the power of heavenly fire, condensing all things, standing in the Void Realm... "Divine Mountain!?

"What... what kind of Divine Mountain is this?"
