Magic: Reincarnate from high-voltage electricity at the start, level up independently.

"Is that a phoenix?!"

The elder's pupils contracted sharply as he stared intently at the fiery figure in mid-air that seemed to scorch the heavens and boil the seas, his body trembling slightly with excitement.

The members of the Demon Hunting Bureau who were watching from all sides, as well as the high-ranking officials in the command room, were all horrified and forgot to breathe.

Zhu Rong has two divine orders.

Active Divine Order: "Divine Order - God of Fire" - the supreme ruler of the fire path, in charge of all fires in the world, capable of igniting flames that burn the heavens with a single thought.

Passive Divine Order: "Divine Order Phoenix" - When near death, there is a chance to trigger Nirvana, and after resurrection, the strength will increase step by step; immune to all flames and high temperatures in the world; when the rage is full, the True Phoenix form is temporarily unlocked, all attributes are increased tenfold, and there is also infinite self-healing power.

Previously, Zhu Rong, who had gone mad and lost his mind, was already at the critical point of 99% rage, and the flames around his body were almost out of control.

Shadow's seemingly casual kick instantly filled her anger level to 100%!

Clang—!

The high-pitched cry of the phoenix tore through the sky, and the sound waves shook the sea, causing huge waves to rise and even the clouds to crumble.

The True Phoenix stood proudly in the void, its wings spread out, shimmering with light. Each feather was burning with divine fire that could incinerate all things, and golden-red flames swirled around its body, turning the entire sky crimson.

The next second, the sky-covering divine fire crashed down, the flames rolling like waves, distorting the void wherever it passed, even burning away the air and creating a large vacuum zone.

Standing before the raging divine flames, the shadowy figure watched the True Phoenix charge towards him, a playful yet mad smile playing on his lips, his tone languid:

"Interesting, the little wildcat actually has a second form hidden."

Faced with the overwhelming flames that swept in, enough to melt everything, he neither dodged nor avoided them. Instead, he slowly opened his arms and tilted his head back to embrace them freely.

The flames instantly engulfed him completely, the intense heat scorching his skin with a sizzling sound, but he showed no sign of pain; instead, his eyes became even more frenzied and excited.

He hadn't experienced pain for far too long.

In order to hone his resistance to fire and poison, he once jumped into an erupting volcano, immersing his entire body in lava, inhaling the toxic fumes from the crater while swallowing the scalding lava.

That ordeal left him covered in burns and his flesh was mangled, but it also brought his resistance to magic and poison to its peak. Ordinary flames and toxins could no longer harm him in the slightest.

"I've had enough fun, it's time to teach you a lesson, you disobedient little wildcat."

The moment the words fell, the shadowy figure vanished, leaving only a dissipating cloud of chaotic mist in its place.

When it reappeared, it was hovering above the head of the True Phoenix Zhu Rong, its body shrouded in divine power, and its aura suddenly intensified.

"In our youth, we basked in the spring sunshine, our horses galloping, wine mingling with fragrance."

His right foot, imbued with unparalleled power, slammed down!

This kick was extremely fast and extremely heavy. Zhu Rong in her true phoenix form didn't even have time to completely dodge it and could only barely flap her wings to block it.

boom--!

Wings collided with feet, creating a deafening explosion. Zhu Rong felt an irresistible force surge into her body. Even with the enhancement of her True Phoenix form, she could not withstand this absolute power. Her body plummeted like a meteor, crashing heavily into the sea.

The sea surface instantly erupted with giant waves tens of meters high. She tumbled several times in the water before finally managing to flap her wings, break through the water, and stabilize herself.

Before she could catch her breath, the shadow's voice rang out again, this time coming from the void beneath the True Phoenix.

Love, hate, passion, and grudges come with the waves; the cicadas sing as the night grows old.

A chaotic flash appeared around the shadowy figure, instantly teleporting to beneath Zhu Rong. A cold smile crept across his lips as he gathered all his brute force in his right fist and slammed it hard into Zhu Rong's abdomen.

Bang!

Zhu Rong cried out in pain, letting out a muffled groan as his body was blasted away again, flying hundreds of meters through the air. His divine fire became chaotic before he could barely regain his footing.

Her mind remained in utter chaos, countless fragments swirling within her thoughts, leaving her only able to scream at the sky and interrogate herself:

"Who...who am I?!"

Anger, confusion, and pain all mingled together, and Zhu Rong erupted completely. He flapped his wings violently, and feathers burning with divine fire shot out like a torrential rain, covering every angle.

Each fiery feather was as fast as an arrow, as powerful as a cannonball, tearing through the sky and carrying a scorching wind as it shot densely towards the shadows.

The shadow remained unmoved, standing silently in the void, letting the divine feathers lash and tear at its body.

Fire Feather slashed open the skin, leaving deep wounds that exposed bone, and blood gushed out instantly, dripping down the body.

A warm sensation reached the corner of his eye. He raised his hand to wipe it away, and looking at the bright red blood on his fingertips, his excitement reached a frenzied level. He burst into laughter:

"Hahaha—this is so much fun! I haven't had this much fun in a long time!"

The warships and fighter jets that had already withdrawn in the distance felt an overwhelming sense of crisis the moment they saw the overwhelming plumes of fire, and their hair stood on end.

"Quick! Retreat at full speed! Retreat another ten miles!"

The command center erupted in shouts, and the aircraft and fleet instantly ramped up to maximum power, frantically retreating.

However, one helicopter was still unable to dodge and was grazed by the fire feather. The propeller was instantly severed, and the helicopter went out of control, spinning and falling while emitting black smoke. The members of the Demon Hunting Bureau on board had no choice but to parachute to safety.

Divine feathers continued to slash across the shadowy figure's body, causing more and more wounds to appear, dripping with blood. Yet, he remained oblivious, instead increasingly enjoying the pain.

"Red lotuses bloom in the long river of time; youthful days return, but tears have dried."

The moment the poem was written.

The divine power shrouding the shadows surged wildly, his body suddenly changed, his bones cracked, his wings spread, and he transformed into a true phoenix exactly like Zhu Rong, his body wreathed in chaotic divine fire!

This is the Nine True Words of the Shadow Order – the power of the word "All" can perfectly evolve into the form of all things and replicate some of the opponent's abilities!

The Shadow Phoenix flapped its wings, moving so fast that it left behind afterimages, and with unparalleled impact, it crashed violently into the Zhu Rong Phoenix high in the sky!

boom--!

Zhu Rong's fighting instincts kicked in; without dodging or evading, she flapped her wings to meet the attack, and the two true phoenixes collided fiercely.

The golden-red divine fire and the chaotic flames clashed violently, the shockwaves swept in all directions, and blinding light burst forth in the air. The two instantly engaged in close combat.

"Now, amidst the vicissitudes of life, we ascend the dance pavilion; all spirits await their unbridled destiny."

A hint of mockery flashed in the shadow's eyes. Taking advantage of the moment of impact, the phoenix beak fiercely pecked at Zhu Rong's wing, tearing off a piece of flesh, which, coated with divine fire, was swallowed directly into its stomach.

"The taste is really good, comparable to a delicacy."

Clang——

Zhu Rong let out a mournful phoenix cry, and her wounds were in excruciating pain. However, with the self-healing power of her True Phoenix form, the wounds healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and new flesh instantly covered them, leaving no trace.

Her anger intensified, and she twisted her phoenix body, retaliating fiercely with her beak, precisely tearing off a piece of flesh from the shadow's back, an eye for an eye.

"Tell me! Who am I?!"

Zhu Rong roared and howled, his divine fire surging wildly, condensing into lifelike phoenix phantoms that swept across the sky with overwhelming power, densely packed and attacking the shadows.

How would I know who you are?

The True Phoenix, now in the form of Shadow, spoke calmly, her tone still flippant, not forgetting to tease, "But you'd better think carefully about how you're going to compensate me ten dollars."

He opened his enormous phoenix mouth, and the suction force surged, swallowing and digesting all the phoenix phantoms that came towards him in one gulp.

Although he and Zhurong both belonged to the East Sea Divine Order Bureau and were nominally colleagues who spent every day together, they had never really interacted.

Even if they met by chance, Shadow might not remember the other person—he was born face-blind, and in his eyes, people could only be distinguished by gender at most, and their appearances were indistinguishable otherwise.

The crowd below was dumbfounded and completely stunned. They could only look up and watch the two divine phoenixes engage in a fierce close-quarters battle in the sky, tearing at each other with sharp claws, pecking with their beaks, and exchanging flames. The scene was both tragic and shocking.

The atmosphere inside the Demon Hunting Bureau's command center was extremely tense.

A high-ranking official, staring intently at the live broadcast screen, asked his subordinate in a low voice, "What's the Magic Association's response? Will their Australian headquarters send reinforcements?"

"They're already on their way." The subordinate nodded quickly in response, his tone somewhat grave. "It seems they've dispatched a Saint Magister over there, so it should be fine."

"Okay." The higher-up nodded slightly, said no more, and turned his gaze back to the electronic screen, keeping a close eye on every change in the battle situation.

Above the void, the two true phoenixes continued their fierce battle in the air, locked in a stalemate.

One side is enraged and goes berserk, unleashing its full power without regard for anything else; the other side remains composed and always holds back, as if toying with its prey.

On the distant beach, two figures sped towards the shore, the sand beneath their feet flying up as they witnessed the earth-shattering battle between the divine phoenixes.

"Is that... Zhu Rong?" Xu Wan stared at one of the golden-red fire phoenixes, clearly sensing the familiar aura of fire, her brows furrowed.

"It's her." Chu Ge nodded slightly, his gaze solemn.

Regardless of why Zhu Rong has become so out of control, the best situation right now is as long as she doesn't continue to destroy surrounding cities or harm innocent people.

Chu Ge shifted his gaze to the other Chaos True Phoenix that was locked in combat with Zhu Rong.

As if sensing something instantly, Shadow suddenly looked towards the beach during a break in the fight.

Their eyes met for a fleeting moment in mid-air, as if invisible sparks were bursting forth in the air.

"Very strong." Chu Ge murmured softly, a hint of seriousness flashing in his eyes.

The aura of this Chaos Phoenix was far more terrifying and profound than that of Zhu Rong. From beginning to end, it didn't seem to be giving it its all at all; it was more like it was just playing around with the out-of-control Zhu Rong.

"So, you also came from the Divine Order Realm...?"

The dense divine power flowing around the opponent was extremely familiar to her, and such formidable strength made her feel a surge of fighting spirit.

But now is not the time to fight. The most urgent task is to stop the rampaging Zhu Rong and prevent it from causing an even greater disaster.

"I'm in."

Chu Ge looked at the black-haired, vicious dog-like girl beside him, his voice calm.

The next moment, her magical power surged and surged within her body, and crimson flames instantly engulfed her entire body, enveloping her and causing her aura to soar to its peak.

She stared at the battlefield hundreds of meters in the air, her eyes narrowing.

Since it can't fly, then that's the only option—

Step on your right foot with your left, and walk on air!

This was her first time trying such an unconventional method, and she wasn't sure if she could succeed.

Chu Ge exerted force with both legs and leaped into the air, soaring a hundred meters into the sky. After a brief moment of airtime, his body began to plummet rapidly.

In an instant, the ice-type magic within her body erupted!

Magic surged beneath her feet, instantly solidifying into an incredibly hard block of ice. She kicked out with all her might, using the force of the void to propel her body another hundred meters into the air.

Once, twice, three times...

Ice continuously condenses, breaks, and regenerates beneath one's feet, in an endless cycle.

She walked step by step, seemingly on air, as if on flat ground, her speed increasing.

In the blink of an eye, they had already closed in on the two fiercely battling phoenixes.

"Calm down, everyone!"

The white-haired girl's eyes suddenly turned cold. She gathered all her strength into her right fist, imbued with the dual magic of ice and fire, and slammed it down between the two true phoenixes!

The ice beneath their feet, having fulfilled its purpose, shattered into pieces, falling from the sky and crashing heavily into the deep sea, creating splashes of water.

"Oh? There's another expert?"

A warlike smile appeared on Shadow's lips. His Chaotic Phoenix form dissipated, instantly reverting to human form. He decisively abandoned his entanglement with Zhu Rong and locked his gaze on Chu Ge.

He looked at Chu Ge's incoming fist, gathered all his strength, and threw a punch, sneering:

"You want to fight me? I'll see what you're made of!"

boom--!!!

The two fists collided violently, and a deafening explosion instantly erupted. A terrifying shockwave spread wildly in all directions from the two of them.

The air currents were turbulent, the clouds were completely dispersed, and the shock wave created a huge dent in the sea below, which took a long time to recover.

Both of them were shaken back several steps. Chu Ge quickly gathered ice under his feet to stabilize himself, while An Ying retreated lightly without a scratch.

On the beach, Xu Wan gazed at the figure engulfed in flames, lost in thought.

"As expected, this guy has a trump card. He's born with two elemental types, but he usually only shows his fire element while hiding his ice element to play dumb and outmaneuver others."

She wasn't surprised by this. From the very beginning of their acquaintance, she had always known that Chu Ge had never shown his true strength.

"However, don't underestimate me, Empress Xu Wan! You bastard!"

In an instant, Xu Wan's aura exploded!

Mid-level peak...

Its aura continued to surge wildly, breaking through the barrier without any hindrance and stepping into a deeper realm!

—High-ranking Archmage!

She successfully gained the approval of the astrologer, completed her job change, and became a galactic mage!

"Praise be to the stars! Grant me strength!"

With a loud shout, Xu Wan unleashed a burst of silvery-white starlight magic that swept over her entire body, rapidly condensing into a dazzling, star-patterned magical armor that covered her entire body.

With the enhancement of the Star Orbit Magic Armor, Xu Wan's aura became even more terrifying, with the power of stars and water magic perfectly fused together.

She gazed at the battlefield high above. Although she couldn't walk on air like Chu Ge, she had her own way of ascending to the heavens.

Xu Wan took a step forward, and water magic surged beneath her feet. The seawater steadily supported her body, as if it were flat ground.

"Ocean, heed my call, grant me boundless power!"

A surge of powerful magic erupted and merged into the entire ocean, instantly causing the sea beneath their feet to surge wildly, creating towering waves and churning the water.

A gigantic waterspout rapidly formed beneath her feet, soaring upwards until it was level with the battlefield high above, steadily supporting her at the top.

Xu Wan stood atop the waterspout, one hand outstretched, her palm surging with magical power. A towering trident, formed from seawater and imbued with the power of stars, slowly emerged.

At this moment, she was clad in star armor, wielding a water halberd, and riding a tornado, resembling a god-king who ruled over the ocean and stars, exuding overwhelming power.

She raised her trident high, and magic gathered in the sky, quickly forming a vast and magnificent water dragon a hundred meters long. On the dragon's body, dense blue-purple arcs of electricity crackled and sizzled.

"The ultimate killing move of immortality—"

"Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Entanglement!"

Roar--!

The water dragon roared deafeningly, its power terrifying, carrying endless water vapor and lightning, and charged straight toward the berserk True Phoenix Zhu Rong not far away.

"Witch, I'll show you the true power of Emperor Xu Wan!"

Xu Wan is on the sea. As a water-type mage, she has a natural and absolute advantage. This boundless ocean is her source of power, inexhaustible and boundless.

The sudden change on the battlefield left everyone who witnessed it completely stunned, their faces filled with astonishment.

"Where did these two come from?! How come they're both so strong?" The higher-ups stared at the fiery figure on the screen and Xu Wan, who was wearing silver armor, with doubts and solemnity on their faces.

First came the out-of-control Zhu Rong, then the suddenly appearing shadow, and now Chu Ge and Xu Wan have emerged.

"Where did these guys come from?!"

Technology has the advantage of group combat, while magic and divine order are strong in individual combat power.

The sudden appearance of four mysterious and powerful magicians instantly increased the pressure on the Demon Hunting Bureau, making it impossible to control the situation and forcing them to passively observe.

Void Battlefield.

Faced with the oncoming water dragon, Zhu Rong simply roared violently, and his divine fire surged violently. With a casual wave, he instantly shattered the water dragon.

Although Xu Wan's strength increased greatly after her breakthrough, she was still only a high-level archmage.

Under normal circumstances, she might not even be a match for Zhu Rong, let alone Zhu Rong who has undergone Nirvana enhancement, fully activated her True Phoenix form, and whose strength has increased tenfold.

The two are no longer on the same level.

Seeing her attack easily neutralized, Xu Wan was not discouraged at all; instead, she felt an even stronger fighting spirit.

She raised her trident high, no longer holding back, and gathered even more powerful water magic.

"Holding the sun and moon in my hands, plucking stars from the sky, there is no one like me in this world!"

Above the sea, the winds rose and the clouds surged, the sky and earth changed color, and tornadoes of water shot straight into the sky, frantically converging from all directions, intertwining and weaving into a huge, indestructible water prison, which, with the power to suppress everything, crashed down on Zhu Rong.

"Who am I?!"

With a sharp cry, Zhu Rong flapped his wings wildly, unleashing a torrent of divine fire that soared to its extreme temperature, instantly tearing apart and evaporating the water prison.

The raging divine fire collided with the ferocious water prison, and in an instant, a large amount of white mist rose up, enveloping the entire battlefield in a white haze and obstructing visibility.

"who I am……"

"I'll remember soon..."

"Quiet down! I'm about to remember!"

"I really need to remember!"

Amidst the white mist, the mournful cry of Zhu Rong, the phoenix, echoed continuously, each sound piercing and carrying endless pain and confusion.

Those watching from afar felt a sharp pain in their eardrums from the phoenix's cry and quickly covered their ears, their faces contorted in agony.

Just then, a strange smile appeared on Xu Wan's lips, and a glint of light flashed in her eyes.

This is the moment she's been waiting for!

"Witch, let me tell you who you are!"

Xu Wan raised her hand and stirred the billowing white mist in front of her, tearing open a gap and precisely locking onto the berserk Zhu Rong.

The next moment, an invisible, colorless, and imperceptible strange magic surged from her body. This was the second type of magic she had awakened after breaking through to a higher level—the mental magic!

It would be unwise to confront an opponent like Zhu Rong, whose strength far surpasses one's own and whose mind is in disarray, head-on confrontation is by no means a wise move.

Her goal from the beginning was not to defeat Zhu Rong, but to completely awaken her from her madness.

"My soul is captivated by the vicissitudes of life."

Xu Wan uttered a few words softly, her voice gentle yet carrying a powerful spiritual force.

An immense spiritual force, mediated by white mist, surged wildly towards Zhu Rong, pouring itself entirely into his spiritual world without reservation.

Zhu Rong was now in a state of complete berserk rage. She was already mentally confused and her consciousness was weak, so she was completely unprepared for mental attacks.

Xu Wan's spiritual power easily invaded her mental world, transforming into a gentle stream that flowed slowly, soothing the chaos and turmoil in her mental world.

"Witch, I knew you weren't a bird from the start! Show yourself in human form now!"

After being invaded by mental power, Zhu Rong seemed to be in even more pain, constantly hissing and struggling, while fragments of memories in her mind were rapidly pieced together.

"Who am I... I'll remember right away..."

"Quiet down! I'm about to remember!"

"I really need to remember!"

"I remember now!"

My name is—

"Zhurong!"

The final phoenix cry resounded throughout the heavens and earth, piercing through the white mist and spreading across the entire sea.

The true phoenix form slowly dissipated, the divine fire around her subsided, and the flamboyant red-haired girl slowly descended from the flames, fully regaining her senses.

Zhu Rong looked at the ravaged sea and chaotic sky before him, the flame mark on his forehead flickering slightly. Images of the previous loss of control flooded his mind, filling him with remorse.

Through the thick white mist, she looked at Xu Wan, who was faintly visible in the distance, and spoke softly and sincerely:

"Thanks."

If Xu Wan hadn't used her mental power to awaken herself, she probably would have caused even more incalculable damage and casualties.

In response to Zhu Rong's thanks, Xu Wan smiled smugly: "No need for thanks. Consider this my way of repaying your kindness in spreading the Dao in the past."

After saying that, she turned her gaze to the battlefield on the other side.

Chu Ge and Shadow were already locked in a fierce battle, their speed reaching its limit, leaving only afterimages in the air, and the sounds of their bodies colliding were incessant.

Fists, kicks, and close-quarters grappling—the two were purely competing in physical strength. Every collision caused the void to tremble slightly, and magical and divine powers scattered in all directions.

"You are really strong." The white-haired girl steadied herself, stared into the shadows, and said seriously, "This is the first time I've seen someone who can fight me to a standstill in terms of physical strength."

"Heh." Shadow chuckled, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth. His eyes gleamed with even more fighting spirit. "I should be saying that. You are one of the few opponents who can make me take you seriously."

He abruptly changed the subject, his divine power surging once more, his smile turning cold:

"However, this game could be even more interesting."

His gaze swept over Zhu Rong and Xu Wan, who had regained consciousness not far away, before finally settling on Chu Ge. His voice was filled with disdain and arrogance:

"Let's all come at once! I'm in a hurry and don't want to waste time with you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his hand and snapped his fingers lightly.

pat-

The crisp sound echoed through the sky.

The next moment, ripples appeared in the void around Xu Wan and Zhu Rong, and two figures shrouded in chaos slowly stepped out from them.
