Lightning Amidst the Flames
A jade-green scepter flew past them, containing a surging Dao Will of Life. The three disciples of the Phoenix Flower Sect looked at the scepter with astonishment. With this throw, Zhu Sheng had actually thrown the Longevity Scepter at Sikong Shu and Lian Han. Her target was not the three disciples of the Phoenix Flower Sect, but to obstruct the two Emperor Lords from confirming their Dao.
"It's useless. Why bother?"
The third disciple retracted her gaze and turned to Zhu Sheng. The moment the Longevity Scepter left her hand, Zhu Sheng's already weak aura completely dissipated. The Emperor Light around her disappeared. Her Emperor Will had been injected into the Longevity Scepter when she threw it. At this moment, even without the third disciple of the Phoenix Flower Sect, Zhu Sheng could not even stand straight. She was no longer a threat.
Even so, the third disciple of the Phoenix Flower Sect did not stop. She would not allow any accidents to happen. Endless streams of Sword Dao light still fell on Zhu Sheng. However, the third disciple of the Phoenix Flower Sect deliberately weakened the power. Her Emperor Will resonated with the Sword Dao, and the falling Sword Qi dimmed a lot.
Chi!
The Sword Rain fell, and countless peach branches were broken by the Sword Qi. Zhu Sheng's body fell crazily to the ground along with the peach blossoms in the sky. However, her gaze was still on them with a satisfied smile on her face. She had done what she needed to do. Next, the Nine Pulse Theory of Martial Arts would be the stage for Yun Bao 'er, Sikong Shu, and Lian Han.
As for the third disciple of the Phoenix Flower Sect, Zhu Sheng had chosen to sacrifice herself. Naturally, she had to drag someone down with her.
At this moment, the third disciple of the Phoenix Flower Sect watched Zhu Sheng fall. She did not sympathize with her. This was how it was when it came to martial arts. The Dream Branch had to be inherited by the most talented person. It was rare for someone like Zhu Sheng to be able to persist until now.
"What?"
Suddenly, a strong sense of danger crept into her heart. The temperature of the surrounding space rose abruptly. A scorching Qi wave came from behind her. The third disciple of the Phoenix Flower Sect felt a strong burning sensation on her back. She turned around …
"Zhu Sheng is waiting for you."
Yun Bao 'er's body was wrapped in flames as she appeared in front of the third disciple of Phoenix Flower Sect. Terrifying lava flowed on her palm as she pressed it towards the third disciple's chest. The third disciple's expression changed drastically as he shouted. He pointed his finger forward and a brilliant sword light shot out. Looking from afar, the sword light looked like a huge phoenix pouncing on Yun Bao' er's body. In just an instant, the phoenix was extinguished by the flames, and the resonant sword will also dissipated. When Yun Bao 'er's palm pressed on the third disciple's chest, the third disciple's body was covered in flames as he fell from the sky.
"Second Senior Sister and Lian Han were actually unable to directly destroy the obstacles set up by Zhu Sheng?"
The Phoenix Flower Sect's third disciple had this question in his mind. Zhu Sheng was truly despicable. Even after being eliminated, she still wanted to drag someone down with her. In the next moment, endless darkness attacked, and the will of the Phoenix Flower Sect's third disciple fell into the Red Lotus Tyrannical Fire.
Boom!
The towering peach tree let out a deafening roar. The moment the Longevity Staff flew out, the will of the Dao of Life erupted. A jade-green radiance spread out and condensed into an endless bamboo forest. It seemed to have formed a tall bamboo wall. Sikong Shu's slash and Lian Han's pearl light bombarded the thick bamboo wall. With a bang, the huge bamboo wall collapsed and was easily pierced through. A jade-green staff that had lost its luster flew out and landed in Bao 'er's hand.
At the same time, the sword radiance and the pearl radiance continued to strike Bao 'er.
Naturally, Zhu Sheng couldn't stop Sikong Shu and Lian Han. She drained Dili and poured it into the Longevity Staff. Then, she used Bai Ling's monarch weapon to release its dao aura to slightly hinder her opponents. This wasn't difficult at all.
Unfortunately, the Phoenix Flower Sect's third disciple believed too much in Sikong Shu's strength, to the extent of neglecting his own situation, so Bao 'er succeeded in one strike.
Zhu Sheng was eliminated, but Bao 'er won a split second for Bao' er. She also eliminated Sikong Shu's junior sister. In this way, Bao 'er could fight Sikong Shu and Lian Han without any worries. After all, an eighth-stage Dao Confirming cultivator couldn't be ignored.
Bang!
Bao 'er swung the Longevity Staff in her hand. The jade-green staff was enveloped in demonic flames. The flaming blade swept out and scattered Sikong Shu's sword qi. Bao' er grabbed at the void, and the pearl radiance was crushed by an invisible claw. It was the Flower Plucking Hand.
"Zhu Sheng is very attentive to you," Sikong Shu said calmly. Out of the thirty competitors of the nine branches, only the three of them were left.
The goddess would be born from the three of them. She would hold the dream branch and command the nine branches.
"Senior sisters, are you still going to team up?"
Yun Bao 'er looked at the two of them. Sikong Shu had a supreme monarch weapon, the Divine Feather Sword. Lian Han must have something to rely on as well.
The two monarchs both had monarch weapons. This battle would be an unprecedented challenge and test for Bao 'er.
"If you withdraw now, you won't have to face our pressure," Lian Han said. "You have no chance of winning."
"Maybe, but I want to see the two of you fail even more. Don't cry when the time comes," Bao 'er replied with Zhu Sheng's tone.
"Bao 'er, you've gone too far."
Sikong Shu waved the Divine Feather Sword in her hand. With a slash, endless monarch light erupted. Dozens of huge divine phoenixes flew out and pounced on Bao 'er. Each divine phoenix phantom was like an indestructible sword radiance.
Lian Han didn't stay idle either. Since persuasion was useless, she could only fight. She raised her finger above her head, and a dazzling halo condensed at her fingertip. It became more and more dazzling. Suddenly, her finger pointed at Bao 'er, and a dazzling pearl radiance burst out. Nine pearls flew out from her fingertip and turned into a sharp ray of light that seemed to pierce through everything.
Bao 'er's arrogance made Sikong Shu and Lian Han somewhat unhappy. They were also the strongest disciples of the nine branches. How could two monarchs lose?
"Impressive. Fortunately, I'm not a pushover."
Bao 'er felt the attack of the Great Path descending. The Phoenix Cloud Sword Will of the Second Seat of the Phoenix Flower had reached the realm of perfection. The will of the sword and the will of the Great Path merged perfectly. Every sword could slash out a divine phoenix that was like a living creature. The sharp screech could even disrupt one's mind. It was terrifying.
Lian Han also couldn't be underestimated, and she hadn't revealed her ultimate move yet.
Bao 'er already had a hard time fighting one person, let alone two monarchs. If it was a month ago, she felt that there was no need to fight.
However, the simple-minded uncle also left her a trump card. It was a super strong soul power. Although it wasn't born, it was condensed and formed. Bao 'er still didn't know how much of its power she could use.
However, this soul power gave her some confidence in defeating the two monarchs. After all, this soul power was more terrifying than her innate Flame of the Way.
"Fire."
Bao 'er let out a long cry that shook the sky. The power of the blood in her body rolled. The Red Lotus Overlord Fire transformed for the second time. As the power of rules that even she didn't understand operated, the dark red color gradually turned black. It swallowed everything and withered everything. Even the peach branches around her were withering. The peach blossoms that fell off were like flowers of death.
The pitch-black flames spread over the Longevity Staff. The power of the two extremes of life and death merged strangely, forming a storm of the Great Path. It was like a divine furnace that enveloped Bao 'er's body. The piercing cry of the phoenix was heard. The phantoms of the divine phoenixes pounced on the black divine furnace. At the same time, an extremely powerful sword aura pierced through everything and disappeared into the black storm.
Boom!
An extremely terrifying sound shook the sky. The monarchs watching the battle below all looked over. They faintly heard a muffled groan. Then, the raging black storm in the sky shattered. An injured body flew backward and crashed heavily into a peach branch. The huge peach branch was broken by Bao 'er, and the peach tree trembled.
Sure enough, after the second transformation of the Flames of the Way, it still couldn't withstand the attacks of the two monarchs. It was suppressed by the power of the Proving of the Way.
"You still won't admit defeat?" Lian Han said. A look of surprise flashed in her eyes.
Was it all right?
The aura emanating from Bao 'er made her understand that this attack didn't cause much damage. How could a seventh-tier Proving of the Way be stronger than a monarch?
"Thunder."
Bao 'er raised the Longevity Staff and shouted to the sky.
Boom! Crack!
The world around the towering peak changed. Clouds wandered. Above the Nine Heavens, there seemed to be streaks of thunder and lightning. They became denser and denser. Finally, the endless thunder and lightning intertwined into a violent sea of thunder. The illusion became reality. Endless thunder and lightning swallowed down and enveloped the entire peach tree. The peach tree seemed to be a thunder tree that supported the sky. Lightning flashed and thunder roared. The endless power of thunder and lightning gathered in one place. A figure stood there. It was Yun Bao 'er.
"How is this possible?"
Yun Rou said in shock. She stood up from her seat. Her eyes were full of surprise and disbelief.
If Bao 'er's Flames of the Bloodline had transformed a second time, she wouldn't be surprised at all. But where did this Will of the Thunder Emperor come from?
Above the peach tree, billions of thunder and lightning swam wildly. Many peach branches were torn apart by the thunder and lightning. Even Sikong Shu and Lianhan seemed to be restricted. They fell into the turbulent flow of thunder and lightning and frantically distanced themselves from Bao 'er.
The Might of the Way that spread out clearly told everyone that the thunder and lightning that wrapped around the peach tree couldn't be an Imperial Law. It was the real Will of the Emperor, driven by rules.
Yun Rou raised Yun Bao 'er single-handedly. She didn't know that the girl had the third bloodline in her body. In addition to the Flames of the Bloodline and the powerful Spirit Elemental Crown, she also controlled the power of thunder.
The War Tower smiled silently. A whole month of hard work hadn't been in vain. Almost all the War Immortal Guards were mobilized to plunder the Thunder Spirit Treasures and ores of the Five Realms. One of the Three Immortals of Penglai, the Supreme Great Emperor Mu Xinzhao, who had the best forging skills, didn't sleep for a whole month to make three Soul Protecting Thunder for Bao 'er. The Sunset War God also personally sealed the Divine Thunder with his supreme fighting will and injected it into Bao' er's body to refine her soul.
In the end, one of the Nine Elements of Desolation, the Divine Thunder and the three supreme thunder tools were all assimilated with Bao 'er, completely becoming a part of her body and power.
In this month, they were really exhausted physically and mentally.
Now it seemed that the effect was very good. Although Bao 'er had used the power of the Divine Thunder on the island in front of the "honest uncle" before the martial competition, in these few days, the power of thunder that Bao' er released again was obviously stronger than the day of the fusion. Moreover, she would be more proficient in controlling it in the future and its power would be greater.
Looking at the thunder and lightning wreaking havoc in the sky, and the peach tree that Ancestral Grandma Fenghua evolved from was completely invaded by Bao 'er's Will of Thunder, War Tower felt satisfied and relaxed. In fact, he was really a little worried just now. Sikong Shu and Lianhan's talent and Imperial Law were extremely strong, even stronger than Zhong Liqing. It was almost impossible for Bao' er to win against them at the Seventh Stage of Dao Vindication. This was a very crazy thing to the outside world.
Now, War Tower had confidence in his heart. The Red Lotus Tyrannical Fire and the Divine Thunder had fused together. The power of two weaker Dao Vindication was nothing. The lethality of the Elements of Desolation alone was enough to shake a Dao Vindication Emperor Lord.
"As Foster Father said, Sikong Shu and Lianhan may be doubting their lives after this battle."
War Tower laughed silently in his heart, but his external face was still cold and stern, giving people the attitude of an insufferably arrogant powerhouse.
