Fighting: Practice makes it real, start with a poisonous body.

Chapter 281 The Body of a Dragon and Phoenix!

In the northwestern continent, the tomb chamber of the Sword Emperor's ruins was deathly silent. The walls were covered with long-faded sword patterns, but the stone statue of the Sword Emperor in the center stood as before.

But at this moment, the deathly silence was shattered.

"Buzz, buzz, buzz..."

The entire stone chamber was filled with a dense, almost solidified purple energy. Every wisp of energy was incredibly heavy, and the space was dyed an eerie purple.

In front of the Sword Emperor statue, a purple crystal egg, ten feet tall, floated silently. Dark gold patterns flowed on the crystal wall. It seemed serene, yet it exuded a sense of tremor.

If someone were to peer through the crystal wall into the egg, they would see a phoenix with wings shimmering with purple flames curled up inside, its feathers swirling with an aura powerful enough to incinerate stars, but its eyes were tightly closed.

After an unknown amount of time, the purple crystal egg suddenly trembled.

"Oh!"

With just one sound, the entire Sword Emperor Ruins shook violently, and the stone walls of the tomb chamber began to crack!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Each tremor was like the heartbeat of an ancient ferocious beast, causing ripples to spread through the space!

Immediately afterwards, an unimaginable suction force erupted from the crystal egg!

"Buzz, buzz, buzz—!"

The purple energy that filled the stone chamber instantly transformed into a raging river, surging wildly into the crystal egg!
The space, which was originally stained purple by energy, faded its color at a visible speed, revealing the mottled stone walls. However, the suction force continued to increase, and even began to draw in the energy of heaven and earth outside the ruins!

In the distance, spiritual energy rose like smoke from mountains and rivers, converging towards the Sword Emperor's ruins to form a long river of spiritual energy that stretched across the sky!

"Om-!"

As the last wisp of purple energy was absorbed by the crystal egg, the dark gold patterns on the crystal wall suddenly lit up, emitting a dazzling light that illuminated the entire tomb chamber as if it were daytime!
"Boom--!"

A deafening roar echoed across the Northwest Continent as the purple crystal egg exploded at the peak of the energy fluctuations!

A purple beam of light, hundreds of millions of feet in diameter, shot into the sky from the center of the ruins, piercing the heavens and earth!

In an instant, the world changed!

The sky over the Northwest Continent was dyed a deep purple, and a gale swept meteorites down from the sky. The sea surged with towering waves, and the earth trembled violently, cracking open abysses large enough to swallow mountains!
The Black Corner Region, a chaotic land shrouded in miasma and filled with killing and plunder, was now in an unprecedented silence, before an uproar erupted!
On the dark street, an elderly man's legs trembled, his expression one of terror: "What happened?!"

The burly man beside him swallowed hard and said, "Could it be that the imperial clans have come again!"

They had experienced firsthand the brutality of the imperial family back then!

As soon as they appeared, they made them slink away from the Black Corner Region. Afterwards, they ravaged the Northwest Continent, causing widespread suffering to the people!

"Shut up! Don't jinx it!"

The old man's expression changed, and he shouted to stop him, a look of fear flashing in his eyes.

But no sooner had he finished speaking than a muffled tremor came from the distant horizon!

"Boom--!"

It came from the direction of the Sword Emperor's Ruins. Even though it was thousands of miles away, it made the cultivators of the Black Corner Region feel as if they had fallen into an ice cave. Their faces turned pale and they didn't even dare to breathe loudly.

At this moment, the devastating energy ripples from the Sword Emperor's ruins finally began to dissipate.

Amidst the dissipating smoke and dust atop the ruins, a tall and imposing figure stood silently.

A man dressed in a dark purple robe, with black hair cascading down like a waterfall, had a handsome face with a touch of bewitching charm, and his narrow eyes seemed to flicker with purple flames.

He slowly raised his hand, his fingertips tracing his arm, feeling the surging power within him, a hint of intoxication gradually appearing in his eyes. "This is the body of the Dragon-Phoenix..."

Su Yun murmured softly, "This feeling is better than ever before..."

He clenched his fist slightly, and the holy power within his body surged up instantly, as if a sleeping dragon had awakened and let out a deafening roar!

"boom--!"

An invisible wave of energy spread out from him, and the spatial rift that had not yet fully healed was torn apart again by this wave of energy!

"This power is not bad."

Unlike the Sword Emperor's sword intent... the power of the dragon and phoenix is ​​even more domineering, as deep and vast as the sea, seemingly intent on suppressing everything and subduing all who dare to defy it..."

Su Yun's lips slowly curled into a cold smile: "Ancient imperial clans, your end has come."

The moment he finished speaking, the space around him seemed to sense this overwhelming killing intent and cracked on its own!
"Tear-!"

Black cracks surrounded him like a tide, faintly emanating a sense of fear.

Su Yun took a step and stepped into the darkness, his figure gradually disappearing into the spatial rift.

…………

In the Beast Realm, amidst the desolate mountains, the Three Heavenly Demon Phoenixes and Feng Qing'er sat around a flat boulder, their bodies enveloped in a faint demonic aura.

"In the past half month, seven or eight beast clans have expressed their intention to surrender, and even clans like the Blazing Sky Monkey and the Radiant Lion, which possess the potential of saints, have been tempted!"

Kunhuang's eyes were full of joy: "All these years of traveling around the Beast Realm have finally paid off."

The orcs have long suffered under the rule of the humans and desperately need a king to lead them in rebellion. Moreover, the internal strife among the humans in recent years has given them the perfect opportunity.

"There's no need to rush to agree."

Phoenix raised her hand, her expression as solemn as frost: "No one can say for sure what their intentions are behind their surrender."

What if a human spy infiltrates the area? Wouldn't that ruin everything?

Such matters concerning the future of the race must be decided personally by His Majesty the Phoenix Emperor after he emerges from seclusion. We only need to keep the list in mind.

The other two phoenixes nodded in agreement.

A hint of anticipation flickered in Feng Qing'er's eyes: "Your Majesty, when will you emerge from seclusion?"

These words were like a pebble thrown into still water, instantly rippled the melancholy in everyone. The wings of the three Heavenly Phoenixes drooped slightly, and their previous excitement dissipated.

In order to create momentum, they risked being discovered by the human imperial race, running around the beast realm, all they wanted was for the day when the Phoenix Emperor achieved the body of a dragon-phoenix, so that he could lead his race out of their predicament.

But if His Majesty delays coming out of seclusion, all their efforts may come to nothing.

Just as the silence began to spread, a calm voice, like a gentle breeze rustling through the mountains and forests, quietly rang in everyone's ears.

"It's today!"

The three Heavenly Demon Phoenixes and Feng Qing'er were startled, then their faces lit up with joy.

They looked up following the sound and saw that the space above them suddenly rippled, as if it had been gently torn open by an invisible hand, and a dark purple crack slowly unfolded.

Immediately afterwards, a figure slowly emerged from the crack!
Su Yun spoke slowly, his voice not loud, but clearly carrying throughout the entire mountain range: "Heavenly Phoenix Clan, your emperor has returned!"
