When Elenei felt Mira''s energying into contact with her body, she immediately lowered all her defenses. She even had to go so far as to reduce her natural defense as she''s just too strong.


    It can''t be helped. Mira is just too weak right nowpared to her. Unless she wanted Mira to hurt her, such a thing would never happen, even if she stood there without doing anything.


    After she lowered her defenses and took in Mira''s energies, she wrapped her own Qi around them, forcing them to ''merge'' with one another, essentially linking her power with Mira''s.


    Such a thing normally wouldn''t be possible, but due to their simr nature and the ck runes lining Mira''s Qi, ice, and Yin mes, Elenei was able to do this.


    Though calling it a link isn''t exactly correct. It''s more like Mira''s ck runes parasitized Elenei''s Qi and is using it to fuel itself.


    Of course, this was only because Elenei allowed it to happen. If Elenei wanted to, she could immediately wipe out this strange power that was trying to invade her Qi and body.


    Though, right now, Elenei is acting purely on instinct. She''s only doing what her body is telling her to do, and right now, it''s telling her that it needs those ck runes to parasitize her body.


    This also benefited Mira because her energy reserves, despite being massive at her cultivation, are not nearly enough to fuel Elenei''s Nirvana!


    Mira kept on injecting all of her energy into Elenei''s body until she ran out of energy.


    However, thanks to the ''link'' between the two, Mira''s energy reserves were refilling at an incredible rate as the ck runes sucked in every avable source of energy from Elenei''s body.


    Mira knew her only job during this time was to keep injecting energy into Elenei''s body until she was told to stop, so that''s exactly what she did.


    Minutes slowly turned into hours, and by now, Mira was drenched from head to toe in sweat.


    Although she looked incredibly sexy at the moment, nobody was able to focus on that as something amazing yet terrifying was happening to Elenei''s body!


    The outside of her body is slowly being covered in small ck runes. The same goes for inside her body, but that was mostly engulfed in Mira''s Yin mes and Ice.


    Another few hours passed by, and slowly, Elenei''s entire body was covered not only in Mira''s Yin mes and Ice but those ck runes as well!


    Suddenly, Elenei''s instincts red, and she knew now was the most crucial part of this whole thing! If something went wrong during this next step, she would die!


    Mira kept injecting every bit of energy she had left, but it didn''t take long for her to run as every bit of Elenei''s energy had been parasitized and consumed by those ck runes.


    As soon as shepletely ran out of energy, Mira passed out.


    ''NOW!'' Elenei internally yelled, took out a red pill covered in golden runes, and quickly consumed it.


    Then, Elenei did everything in her power to call forth her Nirvana!


    As soon as that pill reached her stomach, Reddish-gold mes erupted and engulfed Elenei''s entire body!


    When this happened, Maria, Dominique, Rhydian, and Vulcan all saw Elenei be surrounded in reddish-gold mes as she slowly rose in the air.


    Her body was slowly disintegrating from these mes, but then she did something that would very wellbel her as a suicidal maniac should other Phoenix''s hear of it.


    She used her slight control over Mira''s Yin mes and Ice and forced them to merge with those reddish-gold mes!


    Luckily, right now, a terrifying amount of Mira''s Yin Fire and Ice is inside Elenei''s body, so such a thing is actually possible.


    However, that''s not what''s truly important at the moment. The whole reason Elenei wanted them to merge was because of those ck runes!


    When the reddish-gold mes met with Mira''s ice and Yin Fire, the two began attacking each other, causing Elenei''s body to disintegrate at a much faster rate, but this also allowed those ck runes to infect the reddish-gold mes slowly.


    Another hour went by as Mira''s ice and Yin Fire slowly consumed the reddish-gold mes thanks to the ck runes.


    By the time those mes were consumed entirely, there wasn''t much left of Elenei''s body. However, contrary to what others might expect, this is exactly what Elenei hoped to happen.


    This is exactly what it means for a Phoenix to undergo Nirvana, after all. Their body has to be destroyed in its entirety only for it to be rebuilt into something better and stronger. There are also other benefits for a Phoenix to go through a Nirvana other than an increase in strength, but those all pale inparison to what Elenei is hoping to gain.


    Unfortunately, sacrifices must be made for this to happen, and one of those sacrifices was Elenei''s cultivation base.


    That''s right! For Elenei to go through this kind of nonsensical and crazy Nirvana, she had to sacrifice her cultivation base! However, Elenei couldn''t care less about that! If she was in the Immortal Realm, she could regain her cultivation base in a few months or at most a few years!


    What''s the point of her ''high'' cultivation if she can''t even ascend and be an Immortal Phoenix?! She would dly give it up if it meant she had the potential to be something more; to be something capable of reaching heights that even her parents hadn''t reached!


    That''s what she felt from Mira, her unique elemental affinities, and those ck runes! She felt like she could evolve into something amazing, with the only price being her cultivation!


    Although Mira didn''t know that Elenei was sacrificing her cultivation base to fuel the expansion of those ck runes, she probably wouldn''t care too much. Elenei knew way more than her when it came to Phoenixs and their unique Nirvanic rebirth ability.


    In fact, if Mira knew that Elenei wanted to evolve and only needed to give up her cultivation base, she would probably encourage her to do so.


    The reason being: What''s better than having a Half-Ice Phoenix Half-Fire Dragon ally?


    Having an evolved Half-Ice Phoenix Half-Fire Dragon!!


    She might get into a bit of trouble with the Dragon and Phoenix ns when she eventually ascends, but that''s for another time! Why should she care about something so far in the future?


    Well, first, Elenei needs to finish going through her Nirvana!


    After a few minutes, Elenei''s body was nothing more than dust, yet even this dust wasn''t spared and was absorbed by those ck runes.


    All that was left of Elenei was her soul and her Blood Essence! Her soul swiftly imnted itself into her Blood Essence.


    Once her soul was safe inside, Mira''s ice powers and Yin Fire that had consumed the reddish-gold mes now made their way toward the blob of Blood Essence.


    However, contrary to what everyone thought would happen, the ice and mes didn''t try consuming the Blood Essence. Instead, the ice and Yin mes entered inside Blood Essence and began refining it as ck runes slowly formed a barrier outside it.


    Then suddenly, the glob of Blood Essence flew toward Mira''s be, and before anyone could react, it entered Mira''s body.


    However, it didn''t settle inside Mira''s body but instead went inside Mira''s Soul Sea before it eventually settled down and stopped moving.


    Unbeknownst to anyone right now, though Mira will surely find out when she wakes up, this glob of blood essence was slowly consuming part of Mira''s energy reserves, but fortunately, it was slow enough that her natural recovery rate could keep up with it.


    Outside of Mira''s body, silence pervaded the area. Nobody dared to make a sound as they could hardly believe what just happened! After all, it''s not every day one can witness a Phoenix undergo its Nirvana!
