Douluo: Phoenix God Descends, Emperor Flame Burns the Sky

Chapter 221 Cloud-Piercing Falcon, Fifth Soul Ring
"Titan! I hereby order you to strictly control your sect and remain secluded for the foreseeable future, in order to guard against retaliation from the Clear Sky Sect!"

"Furthermore, take advantage of this downtime to improve the sect's strength! I've given you the ingredients and recipe for the medicinal bath! But remember, you can't accept something for nothing!"

"Also, this is an improved body-strengthening method."

Lin Xiao pulled a book from his pocket and tossed it to Titan.

This is a book he read about the body-strengthening secrets of the Power Clan, combined with some basic principles of the Eight Pieces of Brocade, and made some improvements to it, so that it can nourish the body while strengthening the physique.

Of course, the most crucial thing is the medicinal bath.

Titan knelt down, somewhat excited, "I will obey my master's orders!"

Behind him, the elders were all very excited.

The Power Clan is terrified of being poor!

Following the Haotian Sect, I not only didn't get any benefits, but I also worked for them for free without getting paid.

Later, the Clear Sky Sect provoked the Spirit Hall, and the Power Clan was kicked out, making the already impoverished life of the Power Clan even worse under the suppression of the Spirit Hall!
Unlike Lin Xiao, who is so generous!

Titan pounded his chest and assured him:
"Master, rest assured, our Power Clan has survived the suppression of the Spirit Hall for so many years, let alone the Clear Sky Sect!"

"I will lead my people to recuperate and rebuild their strength so that they can carry out their master's orders at any time!"

Lin Xiao nodded slightly, his face showing little expression.

In fact, this also demonstrates his attitude.

He believes more in concrete actions than verbal promises!

……

Two days later.

Lin Xiao, who had left the Power Clan, appeared in the Star Dou Great Forest.

He has another year left.

About a year later, the Soul Master Competition will be held.

"The most important things right now are to acquire the fifth spirit ring and to wait for Maple Leaf to undergo his first Nirvana."

"Roughly speaking, we have plenty of time."

Lin Xiao was pondering whether he should try to create some excitement in the Star Dou Great Forest.

Hmm, let's deal with the spirit ring issue first.

Lin Xiao took out a thick book from his storage soul tool. This was the Complete Illustrated Compendium of Soul Beasts, the most comprehensive illustrated book in the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, and it was never lent out.

I only bought a copy because of Lin Xiaotuo's connection to the Dream God Machine.

This time, the soul beast Lin Xiao is going to hunt is called "Cloud Piercing Falcon".

The falcon is a bird of prey, especially known for its speed.

With the words "piercing through the clouds" preceding it, there is no doubt that it has an unparalleled advantage in speed and extremely powerful combat strength.

This is the soul beast that Maple Leaf recommended to Lin Xiao.

"This kind of soul beast should be the ceiling of the agility-type attack. The reason given by Maple Leaf is that it also has the bloodline of the phoenix, although it is relatively thin. The fifth soul ring I want to hunt is over 30,000 years old."

"At this age, the Phoenix Bloodline within the Cloud Piercing Falcon has been purified, making it outstanding within its own species."

After thinking for a while, Lin Xiao concluded that the biggest challenge in hunting the Cloud Piercing Falcon was its incredible speed.

It would be extremely difficult for him to hunt it down head-on.

It seems we have no choice but to outsmart them.

While traversing through the dense primeval forest, Lin Xiao encountered several soul beasts that attacked him along the way, but he usually managed to kill them instantly.

The more difficult opponent is to simply unfurl the Crimson Phoenix Wings and quickly create distance.

Upon arriving at a lake, Maple Leaf told Lin Xiao that she had sensed the presence of the Cloud-Piercing Falcon.

Looking into the distance, Lin Xiao saw an extremely steep cliff standing on the lake, and the Cloud-Piercing Falcon nested in a cave at the top of the cliff.

When it goes out to forage, it starts directly from the top of the cliff, and after foraging, it returns to the cave at the cliff from high above.

This environment is quite safe.

The Cloud-Piercing Falcon almost completely avoided conflict with land-based spirit beasts.

If a Soul Master can't fly, or can't fly high enough, they won't be able to hit their opponent at all.

However, Lin Xiao is clearly not included in this category.

Lin Xiao did not make any rash moves, but waited quietly.

Finally, the Cloud Piercing Falcon left its nest once again. Without saying a word, Lin Xiao spread his Crimson Phoenix Wings and flew straight into the sky, entering the Cloud Piercing Falcon's nest.

The nest is extremely large.

And it has a faint smell of bird down.

It doesn't smell very good.

Lin Xiao couldn't help but sigh, "Maple Leaf, if only all birds smelled as good as you."

Maple leaves have no smell.

Moreover, the feathers are so glossy and smooth, like satin, exuding a sense of luxury.

Maple Leaf: "Coo coo!"

"Spotless and immaculate; aren't these the most basic characteristics of the phoenix?"

“Lin Xiao, aren’t you the same? Your body is already like glass, and impurities are regularly expelled. You basically only need to rinse with water to keep your body clean.”

When your cultivation level is higher...

You won't get dirty even if you don't shower, and you won't get muddy when you step on the ground.

Lin Xiao smiled slightly.

"However, the scent of the Cloud-Piercing Falcon's feathers also helped me. Colorless and odorless poisons that can take down 30,000-year-old soul beasts are too expensive, and they even require the use of 10,000-year-old herbs."

“I can use the smell of bird feathers to mask the odor with a milder toxin.”

Lin Xiao rummaged through his storage soul tool.

They poisoned the nest of the Cloudpiercer Falcon.

Then, he went to the other side of the cliff, wedged himself in a crevice in the rocks, and let the maple leaves help him conceal his aura.

The Cloud-Piercing Falcon has excellent eyesight, but the rock crevice Lin Xiao chose was very deep, and it couldn't see from inside.

I waited for about two hours.

Lin Xiao heard the sound of wings cutting through the air, it was just like a helicopter.

It must be the Cloud-Piercing Falcon that has returned.

After the Cloud-Piercing Falcon entered the cave.

Without saying a word, Lin Xiao compressed the crimson flames in his palm, and a miniature phoenix gradually took shape. Then, behind the heavy boulder in the cave, Lin Xiao detonated the miniature phoenix.

"boom!"

"Rumble~ Rumble~"

The first loud bang was the sound of a fire explosion.

The next continuous sounds were the cave collapsing and boulders rolling down.

Startled, the Cloud-Piercing Falcon immediately tried to rush out of the cave.

It was extremely fast, usually fast enough to rush out before the cave collapsed, but at this moment its wings suddenly went numb and its body became weak, so it was unable to rush out in time.

Outside the cave.

Lin Xiao's long, broad crimson wings fluttered gently behind him, and he hovered in the air.

In his palm, the three flames frantically merged and compressed.

At the same time, he stared intently at the cave without blinking.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The sound of bird beaks striking the rock wall continued. When a sharp bird cry pierced through the rock, Lin Xiao decisively pushed out the three-colored fire lotus in his hand.

Three-Colored Phoenix Flaming Lotus!
Explode it!
Lin Xiao activated the Crimson Phoenix Wings with all his might, unleashing the Flame Burst Technique, and his figure shot backward!

"Wow—"

A mournful cry rang out.

The instantaneous explosion at point-blank range blew the Cloud Piercing Falcon's head apart.

Before it could even take advantage of its speed, it was killed.

A deep black spirit ring rose from the crater blasted into the cliff.

The age is approximately 35,000 years.
