Beast Taming: My spirit beast bloodline is overloaded

Chapter 435 The Phoenix Returns to Its Ancestral Form, Power of Gods and Demons

Gu Zhong rode a phoenix, hovering in mid-air, his voice like rolling thunder echoing throughout the entire Lingshan defense line.

Qin Shaoshao remained expressionless, her spiritual energy flowing naturally around her, forming a faint halo. She did not respond to Gu Zhong's provocation, but simply stared coldly at him and the three ancient clan elders behind him who exuded terrifying auras.

The four top experts' auras were subtly connected, locking her in like a net.

This scene made everyone in the Spirit Alliance feel a chill in their hearts.

It seems that the Divine Race is planning to deploy four high-level combatants to deal with Qin Shaoshao.

This determination and scale far exceeded expectations.

“In the past, our ancient clan gave you a chance.”

Gu Zhong said with a smile:

"If you had handed over the dragon vein that day, perhaps things wouldn't have turned out this way."

"When the two elders of Gu Feng died here, you will surely perish today."

As Gu Zhong spoke, he kept scanning the crowd. There was one person he had been paying attention to, but who hadn't shown up yet.

This person is Li Zhen.

Li Zhen's Phoenix Arm was naturally something Gu Zhong also wanted to obtain.

"Could it be that he was afraid of dying and left early?"

Gu Zhong felt a pang of regret.

The Phoenix Arm is extremely rare; you absolutely must get it.

The Grand Elder also surveyed the divine army, his imposing aura in no way diminished. He suddenly spoke:

"Humanity has already yielded several times, but you gods are still greedy. Do you really think all humans are cowards?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Zhong's smile widened, and he said:
"Yu Xiu, it seems you still can't distinguish between heroism and moths drawn to a flame."

The elder, unwilling to say more, said:
"If you want war, then let's fight. Why all this nonsense?"

The moment he finished speaking, the Grand Elder summoned a spirit beast, and his voice echoed throughout the surrounding area:

"All warriors present today, follow me into battle!"

"We are not doing this for ourselves, but for humanity!"

Even if we all perish here today, history will remember us!

"kill!"

At his command, all the humans summoned their spirit beasts, their fighting spirit blazing.

"Today, I will flatten Mount Ling and let you humans know who truly rules this land!"

"kill!"

Gu Zhong also waved his hand, and the Divine Clan army rushed towards the Ling Mountain defense line like a flood breaking through a dam!

Shouts of battle and roars of spirit beasts instantly shook the heavens and the earth. Various spiritual techniques intertwined and collided, unleashing destructive energy fluctuations.

As soon as the battle started, it became intense.

As expected, Qin Shaoshao was firmly locked down by Gu Zhongshi from the very beginning.

"Heavenly Spirit Body, return the lives of Gu Feng and the others!" Gu Chong shouted coldly.

The moment Gu Zhong finished speaking, four phoenix spirit beasts, each with a different form but exuding the same overwhelming power, simultaneously let out a clear and melodious phoenix cry that tore through the sky!

A blazing fire domain instantly expanded, completely enveloping the airspace where Qin Shaoshao was located. The temperature soared, and even the light distorted and deformed under the intense heat.

The ancient phoenix is the most magnificent, its wings spread wide enough to blot out the sun, and its golden phoenix fire flows like liquid gold, carrying the domineering power to burn everything, and it is the first to attack!

With a flap of its giant wings, countless golden fire feathers rained down like a torrential downpour, accompanied by sharp whistling sounds, shooting towards Qin Shaoshao from all directions.

The phoenix of the ancient abode is more agile, surrounded by blue flames. It moves incredibly fast, leaving afterimages in the air. It does not confront Qin Shaoshao head-on, but moves like a ghost, looking for gaps in the Heavenly Spirit Body's defense, and occasionally spewing out highly penetrating blue fire lines.

Elder Gu Zheng's phoenix was the most ferocious, its entire body crimson with dark patterns in its flames, and each attack was accompanied by a thunderous explosion.

It immediately launched a close-quarters attack, its claws gleaming with a cold light, carrying a terrifying power that could tear through space, as it fiercely grabbed at Qin Shaoshao's vitals.

Elder Gu Lie's phoenix appeared calm and dignified, its flames a dark red. It did not rush to attack, but hovered around the outer edge of the battle circle. With the flapping of its wings, walls of flame were generated out of thin air, not only compressing Qin Shao Shao's space, but also occasionally condensing huge fire meteors that fell from the sky to carry out indiscriminate area bombardment!
Four phoenixes, four different fighting styles, and four fire laws that have reached their peak, together formed an almost perfect killing formation!

They worked in perfect harmony, attacking from afar and engaging in close combat, blocking and evading, completely sealing off all of Qin Shaoshao's escape routes.

Faced with this siege that could instantly crush any expert of the same level, Qin Shaoshao's beautiful face remained completely calm.

She floated in the air, her dress fluttering in the scorching storm.

Just as the golden fiery feathers were about to touch her, she finally moved.

There was no earth-shattering roar, no fancy move names; she simply raised her delicate hand.

hum-

Centered on her, a pure and flawless green light shield instantly unfolded!

That was no ordinary defensive shield, but rather a manifestation of the Celestial Spirit Body's absolute control over the spiritual energy of heaven and earth!
Above the light shield, spiritual energy flowed rapidly along a mysterious trajectory, as if containing the ultimate truths of heaven and earth.

Chi chi chi——

The golden fire feathers, powerful enough to melt gold and fossilize it, struck the light shield but failed to break through instantly. Instead, they seemed to sink into a quagmire, their speed greatly reduced, and the flame energy on them was rapidly neutralized by the flowing spiritual energy!
At the same time, Qin Shaoshao pointed his other hand like a sword and gently tapped the crimson phoenix that was trying to get close.

"Spirit Binding".

Follow your words!
The spiritual energy within a radius of 100 meters instantly solidified, and a huge tree emerged from the void, transforming into countless invisible shackles that wrapped around the crimson phoenix layer upon layer, causing its sure-fire claw strike to halt in mid-air, emitting an angry and unwilling cry!

Faced with the elusive blue fire line and the fiery meteor falling from the sky, Qin Shaoshao swayed slightly, like a willow catkin in the wind, narrowly avoiding the attack at the last second.

Her movements were elegant and precise, as if she had already anticipated the trajectory of all attacks. Every move was exquisite, demonstrating her terrifying control over the battlefield.

"Tough as ever!" Gu Zhong's eyes flashed with a sharp light. "Form the Four Symbols Burning Heaven Formation!"

Upon hearing this, the four phoenixes immediately changed formation, occupying the east, south, west, and north positions respectively. Their cries intertwined, creating a strange resonance.

The flames they spewed no longer dispersed, but converged into four thick pillars of fire, intertwining in the air and eventually transforming into a huge cage of fire, completely trapping Qin Shao Shao in the center!
Inside the cage, the flames were no longer simply burning, but transformed into four distinct and destructive energies:
The high temperature of financialization, the extreme cold of icy blue piercing, the violent explosion of crimson, and the heavy crushing of dark red!

The four forces superimpose and amplify each other, resulting in a geometric increase in power!
The fiery cage rapidly contracted, and the space at its center began to collapse, revealing dark void cracks.

The green light shield surrounding Qin Shao Shao emitted a cracking sound as it could no longer bear the weight, and fine cracks appeared on the tree in the void.

Her delicate brows furrowed slightly; she finally felt the immense pressure.

Although the Heavenly Spirit Body is strong, it is by no means easy to face the combined attack formation of four top-level phoenixes at the same time.

She formed hand seals, unleashing the vast, ocean-like spiritual energy within her body, pouring it into the void trees, while simultaneously attempting to draw upon the spiritual energy of heaven and earth from afar to counteract the formation that was burning the heavens and boiling the seas.

In an instant, the sky was clearly divided into two parts:

On one side was the Burning Sky Cage, a prison filled with intertwined flames of four colors and an aura of destruction.

On the other side is the Void Tree that Qin Shao Shao single-handedly supported, constantly repairing and breaking apart!

The light flashed violently, the energy clashed wildly, and the explosions continued. Everyone on the battlefield instinctively moved away from the area.

Because they knew all too well that once they were caught up in it, it meant death.

Seeing this scene, Lin Chen couldn't help but swallow hard.

He sensed the pressure from Qin Shaoshao; the four elders were afraid of entering the illusion, so they used all their strength from the start. However, Lin Chen's current combat power was insufficient to join this circle.

"Lin Chen! I am your opponent!"

Amidst the chaos of the battlefield, a crimson streak of light shot straight toward Lin Chen's location.

It has the charm of ancient times.

Her clear, cold voice rang out as she stood proudly on the back of the phoenix. The phoenix's wings were magnificent, burning with pure phoenix karmic fire, and a terrifying divine and demonic pressure emanated from it, which was in no way weaker than Xiaobai's!

"The Phoenix, a manifestation of divine and demonic power..."

Lin Chen's eyes narrowed.

Little White also sensed this same power with the same scent and let out a moo.

It let out a low roar, its iron hooves shattering the ground. The phantom of the demon bull coalesced behind it, its scarlet eyes fixed on the magnificent phoenix, its fighting spirit boiling!

"It really is the power of gods and demons, and it seems to be of a high level."

Gu Yun looked at Xiao Bai, her pupils filled with greed.

If Xiaobai can be killed on the spot, the power of gods and demons will dissipate here, and her phoenix will be able to comprehend it.

Even different types of divine and demonic power can be comprehended.

The power of gods and demons is the most difficult to cultivate, but once one can sense this power of heaven and earth, one can make instant progress.

"Your divine and demonic power is mine now!"

Gu Yun let out a sharp cry, her eyes gleaming with even greater greed. She and the phoenix beneath her were of one mind, and the phoenix, which had reverted to its ancestral form, let out a high-pitched cry that soared into the clouds, and its wings suddenly flapped.

It was not a simple fire attack. The pure karmic fire around the phoenix merged with the power of gods and demons, transforming into countless wind feathers burning with crimson gold runes. As if they had life, they shot towards Lin Chen and Xiao Bai in a barrage.

Each wind feather contained a sharpness capable of tearing apart the soul, locking down all their space to dodge.

"Moo-"

Feeling a deadly threat, Xiaobai let out a deafening roar and instantly activated its True Demon form without Lin Chen's command.

The already imposing body swelled again, and black and red divine and demonic energy surged out from within like boiling magma, forming a solid armor on the body's surface. The two iron horns became even darker and deeper.

"True Demon's Grip!"

Lin Chen shouted in a deep voice, forming hand seals, getting serious right from the start.

The opponent's level is much higher than Xiaobai's, and they also possess divine and demonic power.

Xiao Bai's body was surrounded by demonic energy, and in the void, the demonic bull swung out its giant palm, slamming towards its opponent.

chi chi chi...

The crimson-gold wind feathers clashed with the True Demon's Grip, producing a dense, ear-piercing sound.

Then an explosion suddenly rang out, and the next second, several streaks of crimson-gold wind feathers shot out, leaving deep burn marks on Xiaobai's magic armor, and even splashing up wisps of black and red flames.

Little White cried out in pain, letting out a low roar, but its steps did not falter, its scarlet bull eyes fixed on the phoenix in the air.

"Hmph! You've got some skill, let's see how long you can hold out!"

"Phoenix Soars Through the Nine Heavens!"

Gu Yun sneered, riding his phoenix as it swooped down. Extremely compressed crimson-gold light condensed on the phoenix's claws, and its speed was so fast that it resembled a falling meteor, heading straight for Xiao Bai's head!
This strike perfectly combined the phoenix's speed and power with the penetrating power of gods and demons.

Lin Chen's eyes sharpened, and his mind raced.

Little White instantly understood. It exerted force with all four limbs, causing the ground to crack. Instead of dodging or avoiding, it lowered its head and bent over, forcefully pushing the iron horn, which contained all the power of gods and demons, upwards!
At the tip of the iron horn, even space itself distorted slightly, emitting a humming sound as if it were about to collapse under the strain!

"A thousand shadows return to one!"

boom! ! !
The collision of claws and horns produced a deafening sound like metal clashing, and a ring of energy shockwaves, mixed with crimson gold and blackish-red hues, exploded outwards, sending both sides of the battle flying within a radius of dozens of meters!
As the light faded, the ground beneath Little White's feet was deeply sunken, but its massive body remained standing, with a faint white mark appearing on its iron horn.

The ancient phoenix was also thrown several meters upwards by the enormous recoil, and the crimson-gold light on its sharp claws dimmed slightly.

This head-on clash turned out to be a draw!
"How can it be?!"

A flicker of disbelief crossed Gu Yun's beautiful eyes. Her phoenix level far surpassed her opponent's, and her divine and demonic power originated from a top-tier bloodline. How could she have failed to gain a decisive advantage in a head-on confrontation?

The power of this demonic bull is so tyrannical and domineering!

Lin Chen took a deep breath.

Judging from Xiaobai's current state, killing a level 90 spirit beast is a piece of cake.

But the opponent also possessed divine and demonic power, which made them indeed difficult to deal with.

"But so what? The gap in social class is an insurmountable chasm!"

"The Phoenix's Blazing Fire, burning the heart and corroding the bones!"

Suppressing her shock, Gu Yun quickly formed hand seals, and the phoenix beneath her spewed out no longer ordinary karmic fire, but a nearly transparent white flame!
The flames weren't intensely hot, but they gave off a terrifying feeling that they could directly burn one's soul, silently spreading towards Xiaobai.

This is an attack targeting the soul!
Little White let out an uneasy growl. Its divine and demonic power was biased towards physical defense and attack, and it seemed somewhat wary of this kind of flame that directly affected the soul. Under the scorching of the white flame, the demonic energy around its body actually began to fluctuate slightly.

"Little White, calm your mind and protect your source!"

Lin Chen sensed Xiao Bai's restlessness and immediately conveyed a soothing message through the contract.

Black and red divine and demonic energy condensed on Xiaobai's head, especially in its eyes, where the red light shone brightly. It barely resisted the erosion of the white flames, but was clearly at a disadvantage, and its demonic energy was greatly depleted.

"Let's see how long you can hold out!"

Taking advantage of the momentum, Gu Yun launched a fierce attack, flapping its phoenix wings repeatedly, unleashing more transparent flames like a tide. At the same time, it used its speed advantage to launch surprise attacks from all angles, its sharp claws carrying the power to tear everything apart, forcing Xiao Bai to struggle to cope.

For a time, Lin Chen and Xiao Bai were forced into a defensive position. Xiao Bai's demonic armor was constantly being torn apart, leaving deep wounds. However, if these wounds accumulated, defeat would be inevitable sooner or later.

"This can't go on..."

Lin Chen was anxious, his mind racing. The opponent's level and fire properties were indeed a disadvantage; they had to take a risky gamble!

Just then, a "moo" sound rang out, startling Lin Chen.

Because this wasn't Xiaobai's cry, but rather the cry of that demonic bull in the void.

"Boss Niu, what do you mean?" Lin Chen asked.

"Moo!"

Another cow moo came, making Lin Chen swallow hard.

Lin Chen had previously made a contract with the Demon Bull using the Bull Communication Technique, so he was able to communicate with it directly.

"You mean, to use the Ox-Passage Technique on you?" Lin Chen asked in surprise.

"Moo!"

The demonic bull agreed and told Lin Chen that it wanted to eat the soul of the ancestral phoenix.

"There's a contradiction?!"
