Spring thunders filled the sky as a drizzle fell on the Iron Mountain Town.
"Beep, beep!"
It was pitch-black all around. Only a few dim lights in the town not far away were gradually extinguished in the cold rain.
The world was shrouded in darkness. A flash of lightning illuminated Feng Feiyun's shadow. At this moment, he was in dire straits. His hair was wet as well. He held the phoenix bone tightly in his arms as if it was his lover.
The lightning disappeared and the world became dark again.
"Rumble!"
Then, the sound of thunder hurt his eardrums.
For seven days and eight nights, he didn't move at all. His eyes were extremely dim. Because he didn't blink for a long time, he just stared into the distance. His eyes became extremely cloudy, making people wonder if he would go blind if he continued like this.
Dongfang Jingyue also quietly stayed by his side without blinking. Her originally bright eyes had also become cloudy.
"Maybe … she really is a liar … liars don't always keep their promises …"
After an unknown amount of time, Feng Feiyun's lips moved as he murmured. His voice was extremely hoarse and dry as if his throat was broken.
Dongfang Jingyue still didn't move. She stood there without saying anything because she knew that Feng Feiyun wasn't talking to her.
Feng Feiyun moved slightly. Because he hadn't moved for a long time, his body was a bit rusty. He took out the phoenix bone from his chest and held it in his hands, carefully observing it.
The "phoenix bone" emitted a faint crimson light, and there was a graceful figure engraved on it. It was the portrait of a peerlessly beautiful woman.
Feng Feiyun sat up straight and stared at the woman on the phoenix bone. She was wearing a white dress and had a perfect body. She was holding a zither. Who else could it be other than Hongyan?
However, the Hongyan on the phoenix bone didn't wear a veil. She had an indescribably beautiful face. The most beautiful words in the world seemed to be an insult to her.
Everyone thought that Hongyan must have been panicking and terrified before her death, but in reality, she was extremely calm before her death.
In the silence, she dug out the phoenix bone in her body and carved her own face on it.
She knew that she was definitely going to die, and this phoenix bone was the only thing that wouldn't be refined.
She didn't want to die without Feng Feiyun knowing what she looked like. If that was the case, it would be worse than death.
Therefore, she carved her face on the phoenix bone. If Feng Feiyun could only remember her after a thousand years, then it would be enough.
If he died and didn't leave any mark, how unwilling would that be!
"There are so many sorrows in life. Why must you choose me?"
Feng Feiyun clutched the phoenix bone tightly again and slowly closed his eyes. The image of the man holding the zither could not be erased from his mind.
This was the first time he closed his eyes!
No matter how unwilling he was, Hongyan was already dead. She disappeared from this world forever.
Dongfang Jingyue still stood there without blinking.
Feng Feiyun treated her like a statue. He took out a crimson iron box from his spatial stone. This was the only thing she left for him. She wanted him to open it at the most dangerous moment.
What was inside?
Feng Feiyun touched the iron box with a heavy heart. It was as if he was touching a relic. After hesitating for a long time, he finally erased the forbidden runes on the box and opened it.
Inside was a dense mist that emitted a faint purple light.
This was a purple robe made of an unknown material. It didn't belong to any material that Feng Feiyun had seen before. Looking at the runes, it looked like the skin of a snake, but it was more like the skin of a dragon.
He took out the robe and opened it. There were nine divine doves printed on it with eight mysterious runes in the center. No one in the Jin Dynasty would be able to recognize these runes, but Feng Feiyun knew that they were eight divinatory runes.
The so-called divinatory runes were passed down from the ancient era.
Rumor has it that a dragon-horse carrying a tortoise shell floated out of the water and meditated by the river. A wise human ancestor happened to pass by and observed the runes on the tortoise's back. Then, he arranged the eight divinatory runes, representing the eight earliest sacred arts of mankind.
Could this be the Nine Doves Gown?
Evil Demon Armor?
That's not right. Since it's a Fiendish Demon Battle Suit, the robe must have an extremely strong Fiendish Demon Qi. But why isn't there any Fiendish Demon Qi on the robe?
Feng Feiyun took out a letter from the bottom of the box. The elegant handwriting was Hongyan's.
Feng Feiyun's hand trembled.
"Feng Feiyun, when you read this letter, I'm sure that you are already in the most helpless and dangerous situation …"
Feng Feiyun couldn't help but wryly smile. He was indeed helpless at this moment.
He continued reading the letter: "The robe inside this box is the Evil Demon Armor. It is also the only thing your mother left for you in the legends.
A supreme expert from the Grand Southern Prefecture told me that obtaining these five godly garments would grant one invincible power along with a long lifespan. "
"Before meeting you, I naturally tried everything I could to obtain these five godly garments. However, after meeting you, I felt that as long as I could obtain you, I would be able to obtain invincible power and eternal life."
"The fiendish and demonic aura on the Daemon Demon Battle Robe is too strong. If you put it on, it will definitely stimulate the fiendish and demonic blood in your body. Before you reach the Sage Realm, it will be impossible for you to suppress the demonic nature and demonic aura."
"That's why I acted on my own and helped you channel the Fiendish Demon Qi from the Fiendish Demon Battle Suit into the Phoenix Bone. I used the Phoenix Bone to refine the Fiendish Demon Qi.
After the evil energy was refined, you put on the armor. Not only would you obtain a powerful battle prowess, but you would also be able to suppress the evil blood in your body that could awaken at any moment. "
"Haha!
No need to be so touched, I just wanted to give you a pleasant surprise!
Silly girl! "
Feng Feiyun held the letter with tears in his eyes. It was as if Hongyan's figure was jumping on the paper and smiling at him.
Hongyan said, "As long as you have Feng Feiyun, you will obtain invincible power and eternal life." This meant that Feng Feiyun was her everything, her world, and her eternity.
This letter was written before she went to pick up the Regal Dragon Robe. She had clearly given the Evil Demon Armor to Feng Feiyun. She clearly couldn't gather all five godly garments, but she still went to pick up the Regal Dragon Robe. Was this really just for herself?
The truth was that she had already decided to help Feng Feiyun gather all five godly garments so that he would become invincible in the world. And she would be the woman behind his back.
Every woman didn't want to be a flower vase. They also wanted to help their lover. Wasn't Hongyan the same?
When a woman fell in love with a man, she might be an idiot with an IQ lower than a three-year-old child. She might do the most extreme things in the world. Sometimes, she might even do things that even the heavens couldn't tolerate. However, all of this should be forgiven.
To truly love someone, is to silently dedicate oneself behind their back, unswerving until death.
Feng Feiyun took a deep breath and slowly folded the letter. He put it back into the crimson iron box and put it away.
The more tears in his eyes, the colder his heart became.
He walked down from the boulder and stood in the rain. His body was as straight as a sword that was about to be unsheathed.
"Puff!"
As soon as he donned the Nine Doves Gown, it quickly became one with his body. A towering battle qi erupted from his back as a hundred-meter-tall dragon shadow soared into the sky. The purple dragon looked ferocious, and its scales were sharp. It opened its mouth and spat out a purple cloud. When it inhaled, it could summon the wind and thunder of heaven and earth, as if it could devour the heavens.
Feng Feiyun took out the phoenix bone and looked at the beautiful figure on it. His eyes flashed with a trace of bitterness, but it was quickly replaced by a thick killing intent.
"Hongyan, you are my heart."
Feng Feiyun held the scorching phoenix bone in his hand and pressed it towards his heart. The phoenix bone directly fused with Feng Feiyun's heart.
The second step of the Immortal Phoenix Physique, Bone Refinement, had officially begun. This was Feng Feiyun's first phoenix bone. The first phoenix bone was the "heart bone".
This "phoenix bone" was Feng Feiyun's heart.
Since Feng Feiyun had a human physique, he would need to wait until he reached the Giant level in order to form his first phoenix bone. However, with this phoenix bone, Feng Feiyun directly stepped into the bone refinement realm.
Feiyun's bones issued crackling noises due to the phoenix bone's influence. They were refined once more and became as translucent as a crimson jade.
In just a split second, his physique became more than six times stronger.
"Give me two beast souls." Feng Feiyun's body shone brightly as his hair fluttered in the sky.
Jingyue shot out two halos that surrounded two powerful beast souls and flew towards Feng Feiyun.
Feng Feiyun caught one and directly swallowed it to refine it.
"Boom!"
Ten thousand beasts rushed out of Feng Feiyun's body and floated in the sky, creating a world of beasts. The entire space was filled with beast souls as if the world had turned into a primordial beast realm.
Grand completion Myriad Beast Physique.
Feng Feiyun's demonic energy soared to the sky as his beast souls shook the firmament. His murderous intent turned all the animals within a radius of ten miles into blood powder. If it wasn't for the demonic armor suppressing the demonic energy inside his body, he would have lost his mind and turned into a bloodthirsty demon.
"Whoosh!"
Feng Feiyun was like a demon coming into being. He soared into the sky while carrying a cloud of battle towards the capital.
Jingyue asked: "What are you going to do?"
"I'm willing to turn into a demon and wash the capital with blood."
Feiyun's voice echoed across the sky. It was hoarse and majestic just like a god of death preaching in the clouds.
The murderous aura lingered in the sky for a long time.
Although Feng Feiyun had gone berserk, he could still speak. This meant that his mind hadn't been completely devoured by the demonic energy. This made Jingyue feel a little relieved.
Of course, it was only a slight relief. Feiyun's words earlier were bone-chilling and full of hostility. Jingyue was very worried and chased after him.
