Chapter 870 Miscalculation
The phoenix-like beast crushed the thunder dragon with a single claw and let out a clear laugh.

"I'll laugh at your father!" Lin Zhao transformed his spear into a sword, unleashing a burst of Thousand Spirits Radiance. Strands of yellow fire lotuses entered the giant beast's body. Lin Zhao's true form retreated, transforming into a gigantic phoenix, and began to fight against the phoenix-type beast.

Lacking the replenishment of otherworldly evil spirits, even if the overall strength of the phoenix-type beasts was at the peak of the Immortal King level, enough to crush Lin Zhao's Eight Yang Immortal King, they were still severely tormented by Lin Zhao's boundless sword intent.

Lin Zhao's sword intent is something she has never stopped studying since she entered the Dao. Even when her cultivation was at its weakest, she still dared to step into the Demon Clan battlefield alone. This was not due to the Phoenix Luck that she didn't know about at the beginning, but purely because she relied on the ultimate sword intent that the Cloud Peak Immortal Venerable could never deny.

After becoming a disciple of Granny Honghu, Lin Zhao's sword intent carried the righteous spirit of the Honghu clan. This Thousand Spirits Radiance was still being used by a sword cultivator at the level of an Eight Yang Immortal King. In addition, Lin Zhao's Heavenly Phoenix Dharma Body was already infinitely close to the original Ancestral Phoenix Dharma Body. Even if the strength of the phoenix-type beasts was really higher than hers, they could only be held to a draw by Lin Zhao.

However, the phoenix-like mythical beasts quickly realized the terrifying aspect.

Why am I getting weaker and weaker as the battle goes on without supplies, while Lin Zhao is getting stronger and stronger?

The aura emanating from her body was constantly tearing and fighting against itself, rising at a terrifying speed.

No, no!
Lin Zhao is devouring her own body!

Upon realizing this, the phoenix-type beast surprisingly wanted to retreat.

However, in a battle of this level, even a little fear is enough to decide the outcome. It only retreated for a moment before being completely enveloped by the Reincarnation Nirvana Flame released by Lin Zhao.

As the flames of reincarnation and rebirth burned, Lin Zhao saw what was contained within the enormous monster and understood why it would eventually transform into a phoenix.

There are countless powerful members of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan within this place.

Clearly, too many Heavenly Phoenixes have died or been wounded on this ancient battlefield, or rather, at the hands of the Three Priests.

With mixed feelings, Lin Zhao absorbed these powers.

After calculating the time and realizing that he didn't have much time left and needed to rush to the central region to participate in the competition, Lin Zhao looked around and raised one hand.

At that moment, a gust of wind blew across the ancient battlefield and the surrounding area, gathering dark clouds here.

Between heaven and earth, there was a faint glow of sunset and the sound of chanting.

Lin Zhao waved his hand, and a light rain began to fall, carrying with it a vast aura of immortality and the breath of life.

This is most of the power she obtained from this monster but didn't absorb.

Several terrifying auras from the northern region of the True Spirit Realm sensed the changes in the world and simultaneously burst forth.

The Lord of the Azure Sea Palace sensed an unprecedentedly rich spiritual aura and immortal energy in the Northern Region, and his eyes trembled.

As a Celestial Emperor, he could naturally sense that this change was a fundamental and permanent transformation, a sublimation of this plane.

It is the will of Heaven, the will of the world, that is favoring this region.

The Northern Region has always been the weakest region in the True Spirit Realm. Besides the fact that it ranks low in each competition and receives less resource allocation, it also lacks the power of heaven and earth.

But this time... not to mention bringing the Northern Region to the same level as the Central Region, a place of great fortune, at least from now on, the Northern Region will no longer be inferior to the Southeast, West, and Central Regions!
Why would the will of the world, the way of Heaven, suddenly favor this long-desolate northern region?

After sensing the changes for a while, the Sect Master of Lingxiao Sect subconsciously looked in the direction of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan.

"This is... the aura of the Ancestral Phoenix?!"

He certainly wouldn't be so crazy as to think that the Ancestral Phoenix had been resurrected.

but……

"The Heavenly Phoenix Clan has indeed revived the legacy of the Ancestral Phoenix."

What he could sense, how could the leaders of other forces not sense?
When everyone could feel the changes in the Northern Region, the powerful were somehow aware of the reasons for these changes.

"Ancestral Phoenix God, protect my Northern Region!"

"Ancestral Phoenix God, protect my Northern Region!"

"..."

How could the changes in the Northern Region be kept secret from the powerful figures in other parts of the Upper Realm? From that moment on, everyone knew that it was only a matter of time before the Heavenly Phoenix Clan returned to its position as the dominant clan.

That's right. With the resurgence of the Ancestral Phoenix's power, the Heavenly Phoenix Clan's rise is no longer just a matter of rebirth.

With the divine will to change the world, the Phoenix Clan will undoubtedly be the dominant clan.

The Heavenly Phoenix Clan Chief walked out the door, letting the drizzle fall on him.

Sensing the atmosphere of the rain, even someone as composed and experienced as her choked up a little.

"My Heavenly Phoenix Clan... thanks Your Majesty."

This was a display of prestige and power that Lin Zhao bestowed upon the Heavenly Phoenix Clan.

"Go and inform the clansmen to prepare for their return to the Heavenly Phoenix Domain."

During the rain, the Heavenly Phoenix Clan Chief sensed that something their Heavenly Phoenix Clan had been lacking for years had returned.

Besides confidence, there are also... some fundamental reasons.

……

After Lin Zhao finished doing all this and confirmed that his cultivation level was at the peak of Immortal King, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"If I break through to the Immortal Emperor level in this competition, I should be considered a formidable opponent in the Battle of the Heavens."

Indeed, Lin Zhao's goal now goes beyond simply acquiring resources in the competition for the younger generation.

With the resurgence of the gods imminent, she wants to truly gain a voice in the cultivation world. The support of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan alone is far from enough.

She wanted to stand among the top cultivators so that her words would be heard when the gods were revived.

The bottom line for all of this is to be promoted to Immortal Emperor.

The Celestial King was merely the pinnacle of the younger generation.

However, his future opponents will not be the younger generation of the cultivation world.

"Little White, wait for me."

……

"You mean Lin Zhao is going to the Central Domain?" Yaochi Immortal Mother's face was grim.

"Yes, Your Majesty, Lin Zhao's current strength is conservatively estimated to be at the Five Yang Immortal King level, and he may even have an elder from the Ancient Dragon Clan accompanying him. If our people rashly attack again, there will only be death on their hands. It would be better to..."

"Do you really want me to abandon my revenge for killing my son?!" The Jade Pool Immortal Mother's beautiful eyes flashed with a blood-red light as she looked at her subordinates.

The subordinates, of course, knew the character of the esteemed master they had served for many years, and quickly shook their heads: "Of course not! Lin Zhao killed our young master, he deserves to die! But it's not worth sacrificing our top experts for Lin Zhao. Why don't we shift the blame, sit back and watch the tigers fight, and let the fisherman benefit from their struggle?"

The Fairy Mother of the Jade Pool raised an eyebrow: "You've found someone who can deal with Lin Zhao?"

The subordinate revealed a very confident expression, "If I hadn't succeeded, how would I dare to tell the Fairy Mother?"

"Let her in." After thinking for a moment, the Fairy Mother of Yaochi decided to see if it was safe to do so first.

When that person entered, the Fairy Mother of the Jade Pool's expression immediately turned ugly: "Ji Wantang?!"

How could someone who was defeated by Lin Zhao possibly kill Lin Zhao?!
But when she saw the nine blood-red suns behind Ji Wantang, her breath caught in her throat.

Ji Wantang has reached the peak of the Immortal King realm?!
Perhaps she really can help me kill Lin Zhao!
Before the Fairy Mother of Yaochi could even rejoice, she saw the giant scythe in Ji Wantang's hand fall on her neck.

Ji Wantang looked at the woman in front of him with a mocking expression. She had the cultivation level of an Immortal Emperor but no real power. After absorbing all of her cultivation with the power of the Ancestral Spirit, she threw her corpse on the ground like trash.

"I charge a fee for taking action, and coincidentally, I've set my sights on your lives and cultivation levels."

Jade Pool Fairy Mother, why do you want to see her?
