Fighting: I am Han Feng, I respect my teacher

We're saved...

Han Feng annihilated the army of evil beasts with a single blow, but he knew that this was only a part of it, and the truly threatening evil beasts had not yet been dealt with.

Without lingering, Han Feng sensed the location of the token and quickly flew towards it.

The soldiers saluted Han Feng. Although they did not know Han Feng, they would always remember this kindness.

After traveling through the Purple Shattered Ruins for a quarter of an hour, Han Feng finally arrived at a continuous mountain range.

The traces of a great battle were very obvious on the outer edge of the mountain range, stretching all the way to the entrance of the mountain range, where a thick darkness enveloped everything, obscuring the way ahead.

"field?"

Han Feng walked to the entrance, touched the edge of the darkness with his hand wrapped in strange fire, and instantly felt a fluctuation of the domain.

Oh no...

The power of this domain is not as simple as the laws of space.

After a cultivator breaks through to the Dou Zong realm, they come into contact with the power of space, increasing their lifespan. But most importantly, their physical essence evolves, granting them more possibilities.

After breaking through to the Dou Zun level, the power of space deepens further, but most importantly, cultivators begin to contemplate their future direction and comprehend the laws.

After the laws come the domains.

Generally speaking, only cultivators who have reached the level of a half-saint or higher can unleash this power.

Alternatively, if one cultivates Heaven-rank techniques and combat skills, and is lucky, one can also unleash them. For example, Han Feng's current mastery of the Qiankun Domain comes from the Heaven-rank combat skill "Tianyuan Finger".

In addition, some rare physiques or rare spiritual objects, once developed to a deeper level, can also have the opportunity to unleash their domain.

But the chances of that are extremely slim, and a cultivator who can develop a domain is certainly not weak; even if they haven't reached the level of a half-saint, they are bound to succeed in the future.

Although Han Feng was only a Dou Zong, he had the experience of a Dou Sheng in his previous life, which is why he was able to unleash his domain at the Dou Zong stage.

Could the powerful figure behind the Purple Shattered Ruins be a half-saint?

Thinking of this, Han Feng's heart skipped a beat.

Even though he now possesses a domain, it's only enough to easily defeat cultivators below the demigod level. If he were to clash with a demigod, he would likely break down in a second, making it completely incomparable.

This has nothing to do with the power of the domain; it's entirely because a semi-saint level expert could easily crush Han Feng with a casual strike.

Using force to overcome law is a very simple principle.

No law can resist power without limit.

If it didn't break, it's just that the power wasn't enough.

Whether it's combat techniques or domains, they are all different means of expression developed when both parties possess equal power.

With this in mind, Han Feng calmed down.

The current situation is beyond his ability to change alone. Even if the opponent is not a half-saint but a high-level Dou Zun with extremely strong foundation, Han Feng is still not someone he can defeat in his current state. He can only ask the Empress what backup plan she has.

If all else fails...

Han Feng remained silent.

He wasn't one to dwell on trivial matters; he had other important things to do, so he couldn't possibly defend the Southern Kingdom to the death like the Empress.

As for whether the Purple Shattered Ruins will destroy the Dou Qi Continent?

Just kidding. There are Battle Saints in the neighboring Beast Domain. If you anger those people, they can easily send out any one of them to wipe out the Purple Shattered Ruins.

Therefore, only the Southern Li Empire truly faced this disaster head-on.

Han Feng's five fingers coalesced into a form, and a mysterious rudimentary domain was born.

In a head-on collision, Han Feng would likely be no match, but breaking through from the side wouldn't be difficult for him, given his own expertise in the field.

Five fingers can control the universe!

Han Feng pressed his palm, which was emitting white light, onto the black domain. The originally indestructible barrier melted at this moment, revealing a small flaw.

Han Feng flashed and disappeared inside.

At this moment, within the Dark Realm.

A giant, malevolent eye suddenly turned towards the spot where Han Feng had entered, a hint of surprise flashing in its pupils.

"interesting......."

It conjured a black fluid out of thin air and shot towards the Southern Empress.

The Empress held the Nanming Li Huo Sword, with all the masters of this battle standing behind her.

More than a hundred people formed a defensive shield, blocking the black arrows.

"This is not the way to go..."

The Suzaku puppet's energy has been exhausted, rendering it unable to fight anymore. However, thanks to its protection, the hundred or so of them have been able to hold on until now.

Unfortunately, it's almost over.

Once the Southern Bright Fire goes out, the Evil Eye will instantly kill everyone.

Now that things have come to this, the Empress has seen through the other party's plan.

That evil eye has always only feared the "Vermilion Bird." It wants to drag all those present who possess the power of the Vermilion Bird to their deaths, and then launch a massive invasion of the Southern Li Empire to completely destroy the legacy left by the Vermilion Bird.

"Hehehe..."

A sinister laugh emanated from the evil eye, sending a chill down the Empress's spine.

She could sense that the evil eye was far more powerful than she had imagined, but it seemed to be sealed, and could only use the evil energy in the air to attack.

Even so, the opponent's combat power far exceeded that of a seven-star Dou Zun; conservatively speaking, it was already at the level of a nine-star Dou Zun.

Although it was very unwilling, that was the truth. The difference of two stars was enough to overwhelm the Empress's various resistances.

Moreover, the other party is no ordinary demon; behind it lies a great terror!

"Is this the only way...?"

The Empress glanced at the fallen Vermilion Bird beside her; its once bright eyes had dimmed.

However, upon closer inspection, one can still see a tiny flame burning deep within the mechanical pupil.

The Empress took a deep breath and began to murmur:

"Use yourself as a catalyst to awaken the sleeping spirit of the Vermilion Bird!"

Please protect the Southern Li Empire one last time...

Just then, a figure swept through the darkness and arrived beside the Empress.

"Your Majesty, it's me."

The empress, who was about to unleash her secret technique, was startled, but was relieved when she heard Han Feng's voice.

"Han Feng, you succeeded?"

A black spike shot towards Han Feng, but Han Feng was not within the defensive range. He raised his hand and unleashed a four-colored flame. The huge recoil force sent him flying. The Empress quickly released the formation to protect Han Feng.

Inside the formation, Yao Tianhuo breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Han Feng.

Finally here...

"Your Majesty, what do you intend to do?"

Han Feng didn't waste any words and asked directly.

The Empress looked at the Evil Eye in the distance and sighed, "The opponent is too strong. I intend to risk my life to awaken the Vermilion Bird Spirit and seal it directly."

"The spirit of the Vermilion Bird?"

Han Feng's eyes lit up.

This is no coincidence.

The Myriad Beast Spirit Fire has just been refined and is currently lacking the protection of powerful beast spirits.

"Let me try."

The Myriad Beast Spirit Fire ignited in Han Feng's hand.

“This strange fire has a special effect on beast spirits. If Your Majesty is willing to trust me, I can try to awaken the Vermilion Bird Spirit.”

The Empress pondered for a few seconds when another black spike struck from the opposite side. She raised her hand to block it, her face paling even more.

"The spirit of the Vermilion Bird is hidden inside the core of the puppet."

Although she didn't have high hopes for Han Feng, given the difference in their strength, Han Feng's words gave her a tiny glimmer of hope.

If she succeeds, she might not have to die.

If we fail, it's not too late to offer sacrifices.

No one wants to die, especially Sikong Chan, who is only in her fifties.

Her talent is undeniable, and she wants to try to break through that realm and bring the Southern Li Empire to new heights.

At that time, no one on the continent will dare to underestimate the Southern Li Empire.

But everything hinges on the three words: "to survive."

Without hesitation, Han Feng walked towards the Vermilion Bird standing to the side.

His gaze swept over the entire body of the Vermilion Bird, then he squatted down on its chest and slowly extended his hand, which was wrapped in the Spirit Fire of Ten Thousand Beasts.

hum!

After touching the core of the Vermilion Bird, Han Feng vaguely felt a faint pulse.

That must be the spirit of the Vermilion Bird.

However, given its frailty, it's no wonder that awakening it required such a high price.

Moreover, it is likely that after this awakening, the remaining spirit of the Vermilion Bird will completely vanish.

Fortunately, I came by myself.

When the opportunity arises, it's just right.

With a blink of an eye, Han Feng's domineering and arrogant aura spread out invisibly. With a wave of his hand, the Myriad Beast Spirit Fire transformed into a list of names.

"The Profound Technique of Different Flames - Record of Ten Thousand Beasts!"

The moment the list appeared, the Vermilion Bird spirit within [Vermilion Bird] began to tremble faintly.

On the other side, Evil Eye was shocked by what he saw. His pupils contracted instantly, and he quickly gathered a large amount of evil energy to interrupt this sudden change.

Han Feng stared intently at the core of the Vermilion Bird, as if looking through the ages and seeing the ancient divine beast that suppressed the southern world.

"Divine Beast Vermilion Bird, return to your place at once!"

"call out!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a loud cry that resounded through the sky responded.

To the Empress's astonishment, behind Han Feng, a Vermilion Bird engulfed in flames slowly spread its wings.

Chapter 117 Suzaku

The moment Suzaku opened his pupils, the entire dark realm seemed to tremble.

That blazing, luminous power can burn away all darkness.

By awakening the spirit of the divine beast Vermilion Bird, Han Feng lost control and became a "bystander".

Zhuque's eyes first looked at Han Feng, and she was slightly surprised to see the "Myriad Beasts Ranking" that had been condensed in his hand.

Then He looked at Sikong Chan, who was seeing the divine beast of her faith for the first time. She bowed deeply and shouted to welcome the Vermilion Bird's arrival.

"Descendants of the Sikong family..."

Suzaku murmured to himself, finally fixing his gaze on the evil eye filled with resentment.

"Suzaku!"

The evil eye emitted a sound like that of the deepest hell, but it seemed to be restricted, hollow and powerless.

With a slight flap of its wings, the Vermilion Bird raised its body, and its flames illuminated half the sky, causing the dark domain to crumble without a fight.

"Evil spirit, still not giving up?"
