Chapter 402 The Ancient Phoenix Reappears
At this point, it was clearly too late to dodge. Lin Zhao stretched out his hand, and a long spear appeared, blocking the white giant scythe.

Ji Wantang saw the spear, smiled strangely, and the next moment, she activated the power of the ancestral spirit.

A head of long, grayish-white hair broke off at her earlobe, detaching from her head and forming a white rope that bound Lin Zhao tightly.

"Bound by Heaven and Earth".

Lin Zhao was caught off guard by the opponent's sudden switch. He tried to use his spiritual skills to fight back, but found that he could not use any of his spiritual energy.

Ji Wantang wiped the blood from the corner of her lips: "Lin Zhao, you've been fighting me with spiritual techniques. There's no guarantee of a winner or loser, but how dare you get close to me when your spiritual techniques have already drained a lot of your spiritual energy? With the Heavenly Phoenix Bone Sword in one hand and the Holy Dragon Emperor Spear in the other, the amount of spiritual energy you need to control them is enough to kill you!"

Lin Zhao looked at her indifferently.

Ji Wantang stretched out her hand, her short, gray hair trembling slightly as she did so.

"Now give me your Phoenix Fate, your flesh and blood, everything you have."

Her hand landed on Lin Zhao's shoulder, but her expression suddenly changed.

The next moment, the gray-white ropes binding Lin Zhao slowly melted away, and Lin Zhao's body elongated, instantly transforming from a human into a giant phoenix.

Heavenly Phoenix Dharma Body!

This is the first time Lin Zhaojin has activated this spiritual skill since becoming a god.

It is also one of Lin Zhao's biggest trump cards.

Ji Wantang looked at the Heavenly Phoenix, which was almost hundreds of times her size, but still showed no fear: "Interesting, interesting, hahahahaha, Lin Zhao, you really are the kind of guy who makes me feel dangerous no matter what, so you must die today!"

The sheer power emanating from the colossal Heavenly Phoenix was enough to cause Ji Wantang's skin to crack all over her body, and her soul had already begun to break.

“The Heavenly Phoenix Dharma Body possesses Dharma Body spiritual techniques, and you are not the only one.”

Ji Wantang reached out, seemingly oblivious to the pain, and tore open the eye on her forehead. The eye emitted a grayish-white light, gradually melting Ji Wantang's entire body, leaving only the small, grayish-white eye and the blood-red phoenix behind it, the same size as the enormous Heavenly Phoenix.

Within the Phoenix clan, the Celestial Phoenix is ​​supreme, followed by other True Phoenix species. However, the Ancient Phoenix, being only one bloodline away from approaching the Celestial Phoenix, can be considered the most orthodox True Phoenix species. Yet, the Ancient Phoenix is ​​still suppressed by the Celestial Phoenix.
Among the True Phoenix species, the only one that is not afraid of the Heavenly Phoenix is ​​the Blood Phoenix.

This is a race born with an indomitable spirit, showing no respect or fear for their ancestors. Blood Phoenixes are born with divine bodies, yet possess a demonic nature that devours their own kind. Therefore, there are no female Blood Phoenixes in the cultivation world, only male Blood Phoenixes.

True Phoenixes are known for their females possessing far more terrifying abilities and talents than their males. The fact that the Blood Phoenix clan can maintain such a formidable reputation even without female Blood Phoenixes speaks volumes about their power.
It is said that this race was created when the ancient demons tricked a male phoenix into undergoing a mutation. That phoenix had the blood and body of a god and was unwilling to fall into demonic ways. However, under the influence of external forces, it slaughtered its own kind to strengthen itself and eventually transformed into a blood-red phoenix.

From then on, this blood phoenix was reduced to a true phoenix species and was expelled from the Heavenly Phoenix lineage.

Therefore, although the Blood Phoenix is ​​inferior to the Ancient Phoenix in terms of orthodoxy, it is far superior to the Ancient Phoenix in terms of lethality and aggression. This is why the two types of phoenix fortunes are evenly matched.

In terms of lethality and attack capabilities, only the Heavenly Phoenix can rival the Blood Phoenix.

The Heavenly Phoenix that Lin Zhao had transformed into seemed to sense the provocation from the higher-ranking bloodline, and with a long cry, it began to fight the Blood Phoenix.

The Heavenly Phoenix Clan does have some degree of control over the Blood Phoenix.

As mentioned before, female True Phoenixes are stronger than males, but Ji Wantang, who had transformed into a Blood Phoenix, had a gray-white eye that kept interfering with Lin Zhao's attacks.

Despite having the upper hand, the Heavenly Phoenix lost several feathers under the sneak attack of the white eye. Unable to hold back her angry roar, the Heavenly Phoenix seemed to split apart, and a spirited but still somewhat weak golden dragon appeared. As soon as this dragon appeared, it lunged at the gray-white eye.

As if in retaliation for the earlier attack by the gray-white eye, the dragon grabbed the eye and crushed it with its bare feet.

Although the gray-white eyes could release a huge mental shock and terrifying spiritual energy to harm Lin Zhao, it had no hands or feet. Therefore, once the dragon got close, it instantly broke through the dragon's defenses.

After trampling it enough, the dragon swallowed the gray-white eyes into its belly.

As the Blood Phoenix fought the Heavenly Phoenix, it let out a series of miserable cries as its gray-white eyes were swallowed by the dragon. The Heavenly Phoenix, seizing the advantage, pressed its advantage, extending its sharp claws and striking and slapping the Blood Phoenix to the ground.

The blood phoenix's light and shadow that landed on the battle platform dissipated, returning to its original form.

Ji Wantang knelt on one knee, squatting on the ground, her fair hand covering her lower abdomen. She was barely breathing and had not completely collapsed, only being held up by the blood-red slender sword in her hand.

The phoenix retracted its wings, its figure swayed, and the girl in blue stood holding a sword, looking down at the girl in red.

Lin Zhao unfurled her phoenix wings, and in an instant, her hand pierced through Ji Wantang's brow. The fragmented phoenix energy behind her roared and pounced on Ji Wantang's soul.

Unable to bear the pain of her soul being torn apart, Ji Wantang's Blood Phoenix Luck deep within her soul automatically protected her, while the incomplete Ancient Phoenix Luck entwined around her.

"Between you and me, the distinction is clear at this moment." Lin Zhao felt the fragmented Phoenix Luck returning little by little. Looking at Ji Wantang's defeated face, he thrust the Heavenly Phoenix Bone Sword into Ji Wantang's heart when his Phoenix Luck was completely restored.

Ji Wantang groaned, her eyes, now black again, fixed intently on Lin Zhao.

"I won't die. This is just the Divine Soul World. You think you've won just because you've retrieved the Ancient Phoenix's Fortune? Lin Zhao... just wait. I'll be back in the Ancestral Phoenix Continent Imperial Election. This time, we'll lose with our lives..."

The Heavenly Phoenix Bone Sword trembled, completely shattering Ji Wantang's soul.

Looking at her complete, floating ancient phoenix fortune in front of her, she suddenly felt as if she had been transported to another world.

After many years, the Ancient Phoenix Destiny returns.

However, this is not the complete form of the Ancient Phoenix.

Lin Zhao has only retrieved it; she hasn't fully integrated or put it into operation yet. She still needs a very long time.

But she has no strength left.

She acted so relaxed towards Ji Wantang only because she was afraid that Ji Wantang would make a final, desperate attempt to strike.

In fact, after the Heavenly Phoenix Dharma was activated, she was also at her last gasp.

Lin Zhao, supporting herself with her sword and dragging her almost numb legs, walked out of the battle platform. The staff outside looked at her with fear and awe.

Would our distinguished guest like to have a private room to rest?

Lin Zhao nodded.

Hu Sheng, who was waiting for Lin Zhao to come out, ran over quickly.

"The arena recorded your battle with Ji Wantang and broadcast it to the outside world. I guess the people in the Upper Realm saw it too, Lin Zhao..."

Lin Zhao let out a sound of surprise.

Before she lost consciousness, she remembered Ji Wantang's words.

When we meet again, it will be a fight to the death.

Right.

The Blood Phoenix and the Ancient Phoenix, kings never meet.

When they meet again, it will be the fully-formed Blood Phoenix and Ancient Phoenix battling in the real world.

“I’m waiting, Ji Wantang.”
