Starting with being handed over to the Imperial Concubine, building a family with a thousand-year hi

At the same time, another claw was already approaching Su Mu's crown. In a moment of crisis, the Imperial Crown on his head automatically activated its defensive power, and a thick golden Imperial Shield appeared out of thin air, steadily blocking the claw's fierce attack without moving an inch.

As a top-grade defensive treasure of the Heavenly Rank, the Imperial Crown's defensive power is sufficient to withstand a powerful attack from a Martial Emperor level.

The endless tongues of fire attacking from all directions were so dense that it was impossible to dodge them all. Even with the protection of the Xuanhuo body and the enhancement of the Divine Embryo power, the defensive barrier could not completely resist the erosion of the divine fire. However, Su Mu was wearing a top-grade Heaven-rank Imperial Dragon Robe, and his Imperial Body was already comparable to a divine body. He could withstand the burning of the divine fire with his bare hands without any external protection.

From beginning to end, Su Mu was completely at ease, keeping all his trump cards hidden. He didn't need to use his clone talisman or the Qianjin puppet, nor did he need to activate the Void God Talisman with its unbreakable seal. His true combat power alone was enough to crush this mid-stage level nine fire phoenix head-on.

He didn't even need to use his trump card sword techniques. He just relied on his high-frequency lightning flash movement technique to constantly teleport and pull, disrupting the Fire Phoenix's offensive rhythm. After each teleport, he would deliver a precise sword strike. Each sword strike could break through the Phoenix Fire's defense and actually injure the Fire Phoenix's physical body.

Inside the palace, Xiao Yunshang, Wen Qianzhu, and the others looked up to watch the battle. Seeing that Su Mu had suppressed the powerful enemy throughout, they were all relieved, and were once again amazed by the terrifying speed at which Su Mu was growing.

In mid-air, Chi Yu grew increasingly anxious with each attack. It secretly resented Lai Chunshan and his group for being too slow, while it was losing ground in the direct battle, and its allies remained motionless. However, it also knew that launching a surprise attack now would be the least effective strategy; it had to wait for Su Mu to reveal an opening before it could deliver a decisive blow.

Left with no other choice, Akabane activated his trump card – the Nirvana Divine Feather.

In the last battle, it relied on the Nirvana Divine Feather to defeat Su Mu's sword technique, but that attack consumed a great deal of energy, and even today the essence of the divine feather has not been fully restored. However, this power is sufficient to deal with the current situation.

The Nirvana Divine Feather burst forth from the sky, its divine light piercing and possessing terrifying destructive power capable of piercing through a divine body.

Knowing the threat posed by this divine feather, Su Mu immediately increased the frequency of his lightning teleportation, avoiding the feather's pursuit and refusing to confront its sharp edge head-on.

Nirvana Divine Feather's speed was unmatched. After a brief but fruitless pursuit, it suddenly changed direction and slammed its attack hard into a longsword in the Six Harmonies Sword Formation.

The Six Harmony Sword Formation was constructed solely from six high-grade Earth-rank longswords, revealing its weakness in quality; it simply could not withstand the power of a single strike from the Nirvana Divine Feather.

With a crisp crack, the longsword shattered, and the complete Six Harmonies Sword Formation collapsed instantly, its power completely dissipating.

Su Mu didn't care at all, as he hadn't expected a low-level sword formation to seriously injure a level nine divine bird. Not wanting to prolong the battle any longer, he raised his hand and threw the Seven Star Dragon-Slaying Sword into the air, unleashing his full sword intent.

"A myriad of swords arise from the heart; the Tao follows its own course!"

"The mighty power of heaven transforms into a thunderous prison!"

The complete version of "Ten Thousand Swords Thunder Prison True Technique" has reappeared.

Above the sky, endless sword light obscured the sunlight, sweeping across the land like a silver tide; dark clouds gathered, forming a sea of ​​thunder, with thousands of giant lightning dragons swirling in the clouds, their earth-shattering pressure enveloping the entire imperial city. High in the sky, the Seven Star Dragon-Slaying Sword shone with light comparable to the blazing sun, its boundless sword might pouring down.

Thunder and sword light intertwined to form an apocalyptic killing field, raining down like a storm upon the Fire Phoenix Crimson Feather.

Chi Yu's expression changed drastically. Having personally experienced the terror of this sword technique, she knew that a direct physical confrontation would inevitably result in severe injury. In desperation, she activated the Nirvana Divine Feather with all her might, shouting fiercely, "Nirvana Divine Feather, shatter all laws!"

The divine feather surged with divine light, charging head-on into the torrent of sword lightning. Su Mu watched this scene, but had no means to stop it; he could only watch helplessly as the divine feather collided with his ultimate sword technique.

Su Mu had no intention of stopping the Nirvana Divine Feather.

Taking advantage of the moment when Nirvana Divine Feather was bombarding the Seven Star Dragon Slayer Sword with all its might and distracting Fire Phoenix, he flashed and instantly teleported to the front of Fire Phoenix Crimson Feather using his ultimate movement technique.

His dazzling vertical pupils suddenly opened, and the Heavenly Illusion Divine Eye was activated and took effect!

The next instant, Su Mu brought his two fingers together, his fingertips gathering the divine light of thunder and fire and the powerful inner force of the Imperial Divine Embryo, and pointed directly at the vital point of the Fire Phoenix Crimson Feather's head.

The mental illusion instantly invaded its consciousness, causing the Fire Phoenix Crimson Feather's mind to go blank for a moment, leaving it no time to react. Just like the last time it fought the God-Slaying Finger, it could only hastily raise one of its claws to block, knowing that the power of this finger was far greater than before, it could only grit its teeth and endure the attack.

Having undergone the dual enhancements of divine transformation and perfected domineering physique, Su Mu's God-Slaying Finger is now far more destructive than before.

Two sharp fingers, like the tips of divine swords, crackled with lightning, purple flames, and divine light, easily tore through the outer flame defense barrier of the Fire Phoenix and slammed into its hard claws.

With a crisp crack, the sturdy phoenix claw split open on the spot, almost completely pierced by this finger!

Recalling the previous battle, Fire Phoenix Crimson Feather withstood the God-Slaying Finger head-on, her physical body unharmed. But in this battle, the situation has completely reversed.

With Su Mu's flawless Imperial Body as a foundation, combined with the Heaven-Rank Top-Grade God-Slaying Finger Secret Technique, the double power is superimposed, making its destructive power extremely terrifying.

The severely injured phoenix claw gushed blood, and scalding phoenix blood rained down from mid-air.

At the same moment, Nirvana Divine Feather lived up to Fire Phoenix's expectations, striking the Seven Star Dragon Slayer Sword hard and sending it flying, forcibly interrupting the Ten Thousand Swords Thunder Prison Sword Technique that was still in the process of being prepared.

However, Lai Chunshan, who was lying in the shadows, still did not choose to show himself and launch a surprise attack.

After a series of powerful attacks on the divine sword, the Nirvana Divine Feather's original power was exhausted, its divine light rapidly dimmed, and it was powerless to fight any longer. It floated back onto the body of the Fire Phoenix Crimson Feather.

With her trump cards damaged and her body injured, Fire Phoenix Chi Yu made up her mind, endured the excruciating pain in her claws, and recklessly activated her ultimate talent move—Blazing Sky.

This is its unique innate divine fire power, completely different from the life-saving secret technique, Flowing Fire. Flowing Fire is used for escape, while Blazing Flame is a pure destructive and killing power.

In an instant, the aura surrounding the Fire Phoenix Crimson Feather surged several times over, and all the phoenix divine patterns she was born with lit up, with endless phoenix divine fire sweeping across the sky. In just a few breaths, the entire sky above the imperial city was completely covered by a boundless sea of ​​fire.

The four powers of the inner core, essence and blood, divine fire, and innate divine runes were simultaneously detonated. It also forcibly drew the great power of the fire element within a thousand miles into the sea of ​​fire, causing the destructive power of the raging flames to surge once again.

Using such a powerful, innate attack signifies that the Fire Phoenix is ​​fighting desperately. If it fails to defeat the formidable enemy, it will suffer from prolonged power depletion after the battle, rendering it unable to continue fighting and even unable to activate its life-saving secret technique, Flowing Fire.

But it still held onto its confidence. It had long since formed a soul pact with the sea turtle Dai Jian, and its ally would never stand idly by and watch it die on the battlefield.

Both the turtle and the sea turtle are native demonic beasts of Tianyuan. The soul oath they made will be 100% recognized by the rules of this world, and there will be no betrayal or change. According to the original plan, the sea turtle will wait for Lai Chunshan to make the first move, then seize the opportunity to reap the benefits and eliminate the two major threats, Su Mu and Lai Chunshan, in one fell swoop.

Surrounded by an endless sea of ​​blazing fire, Su Mu finally stopped holding back and took out a Grade 9 Dragon Essence Pill, swallowing it directly.

The medicinal power of the pill instantly swept through his limbs and bones, boosting his overall combat strength in all aspects. Both the Purple-Gold Profound Flame and the Imperial Divine Embryo received the enhancement from the medicinal power. Only the already perfected Imperial Overlord Body had little room for improvement.

Witnessing Su Mu's combat power surge once again, Fire Phoenix Crimson Feather felt only utter despair.

Outside the imperial city, Lai Chunshan and his group could clearly see a terrifying sea of ​​fire that blotted out the sun and moon in the sky.

"It's that fire phoenix's signature move, Blazing Sky, it's fighting desperately."

Lai Chunshan's eyes darkened, and he no longer concealed his presence, leaping into the air and flying towards the sky above the imperial city.

He dared not wait any longer, fearing that Su Mu would perish in the flames, allowing the Fire Phoenix to seize all the opportunities. In particular, the suspected Martial God inheritance on Su Mu's body was a treasure he was determined to obtain.

The sea of ​​fire blocked his divine sense from probing, so he couldn't see the battle situation inside. He instinctively believed that Su Mu must be on the verge of death under the extreme suppression of the flames.

During the flight, Lai Chunshan raised his hand and summoned a pure blue pearl. The pearl hovered above his head, spreading out a thick blue light shield that completely protected his body.
