<h4>Chapter 1547: Swimmers Tend to Drown</h4>


    A burst of incredible firelight caused everyone to flinch, a sea of mesrger than anything that had appeared in the fighting since.


    Even the skies were burning; even deities would burn to a crisp.


    Feng Xian screamed shrilly as she was beset by such intense me. She cried out, Even a phoenix could burn to death. However, she was no ordinary phoenix. After her rebirth, she had be an immortal phoenix.


    "I am a phoenix," Feng Xian dered. "The mes are my deathbed and cradle alike!"


    The moon-white feathers on her body lit up, suppressing the mes around her. Feng Xian didn''t give up. She continued tomune with the mes around her. If given enough time, she might well be able to ovee this crisis, but Sun Mengmeng and Sun Xiaowu had no intention of allowing her such freedom.


    "[Goldenscale Palm]!"


    Sun Xiaowu''s right arm glowed with resplendent light.


    Countless armaments manifested over Sun Xiaowu''s scales in an orderly arrangement.


    An aura of intense strength emanated from the heavens.


    Frightening shockwaves of energy radiated through the battlefield as Sun Xiaowu punched forward.


    Golden light burst forth as he punched at Feng Xian, countless divine armaments trailing behind his fist, tearing apart the sea of mes, and prating Feng Xian through the chest.


    "[Lunarme Shot: Farthest Sky]!"


    Sun Mengmeng drew her bow taut. mes surged into the air, burning even the ceiling of the ancient hall. The mes spread throughout the sky.


    The pitch-ck mes covered up the sky. A tornado in miniature manifested around Sun Mengmeng''s bow. As she loosed the arrow, she shot out a beam of light, an ultimate technique that gathered the potency of the sea of mes all around her. Itnded precisely where Sun Xiaowu''s [Goldenscale Palm] had prated Feng Xian''s chest.


    At that point, Feng Xian had yet to fully attune to the divine mes. Sun Xiaowu and Sun Mengmeng had struck at precisely the right moment to defeat her. Feng Xian screamed. Despite the fact that she was a phoenix, the mes burned her up alive. She was destroyed and turned into a pile of ash.


    As Feng Xian once murmured to herself, swimmers tended to drown, and even a phoenix could die in mes.


    On the other side of the battlefield, the man wielding a goldenmp shone with energy. His spiritual power surged like a raging ocean as he shot forward.


    To his head, his jeweledmp glowed with light. A rain of light fell around him. The light transformed into fiery-red stars that shot toward Yang Ze, each piloted by a deity.


    "[The Boundless de: Sea Serpent]!"


    Yang Ze''s sword morphed into a sea serpent, pale blue in color, with gills on either side of its body, its scales like crystalline shards of ice. It surged forward, swiping its ws. His sword sh tore apart the stars, and the deities on them fought against his sea serpent.


    The sea roiled around him, and the sea serpent''s howl pierced the air. It exploded in a surge of water that quenched the stars and drowned the deities.


    "[The Boundless de: Nine-Headed Hydra]!"


    Gic energy exploded from Yang Ze and manifested in the form of a nine-headed hydra, which sprayed out nine breaths of sword energy.


    With the goldenmp''s attackpletely neutralized, the man sucked in another deep breath. Golden mes shining with runes blocked the beams of energy.


    The nine-headed hydra shot forward, its nine heads forcibly tearing apart the screen of mes.


    "I''m getting tired. It''s time for you to die." Space rippled. Yang Ze had appeared to the man''s back out of nowhere. The greatsword he held shed downwards.


    The man with the goldenmp immediately turned and defended himself with the goldenmp, which rippled as the greatsword struck it. mes burst forth and sent Yang Ze reeling, but before the man could smile in relief, the nine-headed hydra attacked him from the back.


    "[The Boundless de: Hundred-Headed Hydra]!" Yang Ze''s gic energy manifested in the form of an astounding hundred-headed hydra.


    As he drew on spatial force, the hydra sprayed out a hundred simultaneous beams of sword energy,posed ofpressed spatial force from a high-dimensionalyer of space. The man, stymied by the hydra''s attacks, was unable to defend himself and drowned by the sea of sword energy.


    At the same time, Sheng Gu made his move. Blood congealed in his hand and formed a scarlet spear that pierced through the void. Demons seemed to surge to its tip as he closed in on his opponent.


    "[Avatar of the Fae: Worldbound Enclosure]!"


    Zhou Ying summoned tens of thousands of wood dragons from the ground, enough to fill up the entire battlefield. They were thrice as thick as before, and their barkskin shone with metallic luster. The entire arena was filled with dragons that honed in on Sheng Gu.


    Sheng Gu''s blood spear seemed to be able to prate everything, including the wood dragons.


    However, the wood dragons bore fearsome regenerative ability, and they grew back in an instant.


    Sheng Gu''s goldenme wings pped and dispersed in a burst of golden mes.


    The wood dragons bore particrly strong resistance against fire, especially after Zhou Ying''s endowment of vitality from the bug emperor she had hatched. They shrugged off the mes as they swarmed Sheng Gu.


    Sheng Gu nched. The mes that hade from his wings were hardly ordinary. They were sacred mes, but seemedpletely useless against Zhou Ying''s wood dragons. He couldn''t help but be taken aback.


    Sheng Gu''s wings pped furiously. In arcs of golden me and radiant sword energy, he cut down the wood dragons in droves.


    Zhou Ying charged right up to Sheng Gu. Each of her tendrils held a void dagger. The six daggers struck as one, forming a sixfold cut in the air. They knocked Sheng Gu flying.


    "[Storm of Leaves: Sixfold Void Cut]!"


    Sheng Gu''s blood spear thrust forward as the two cultivators exchanged ferocious blows on the altar.


    The wood dragons regenerated and swarmed Sheng Gu once more.


    Golden mes wreathed Sheng Gu''s blood spear, forming a corkscrew around its tip. As Sheng Gu thrust his spear forward, a tremendous blow was unleashed. Zhou Ying stumbled back as her wood dragons swarmed Sheng Gu, trying to block his way.


    A tremendous flood of energy transformed into ake of lightning, drenching the wood dragons before exploding. The wood dragons cried out as their bark splintered and cracked.


    "[Avatar of the Fae: Gxybound Enclosure]!"


    A titanic burst of vitality and natural energy erupted from her, turning Zhou Ying into a goddess of nature. Huge wood dragons emerged from underground, each about the size of a skyscraper.


    They soared through the air and pierced through theke of lightning, surrounding it and encapsting it with their bodies.


    The blue lightning, however, refused to be corralled. It whizzed back and forth. Snakes of blue lightning wriggled out from the cracks in the wood dragons'' defenses and through the clouds.


    The lightning charred the wood dragons ck, but Zhou Ying continuously infused her vitality and natural energy into them. The wood dragons quickly shed off their charred bark as they came back to life.
