Mortal's Purple Sky Cave Heaven

Chapter 516 The Power of the Ice Phoenix
Even after revealing their treasures, the three showed no signs of relief, each standing at a distance, gazing at the vast expanse of white light.

As a result, amidst the white light, a dazzling radiance flashed, and a giant bird with a phoenix crown on its head and long feathers on its body appeared, bursting out from within.

It started out as small as a few feet, but as it flew away, its body swelled up and it grew into a colossal creature that was seventy or eighty feet in size.

Its appearance is strikingly similar to the legendary True Spirit Heavenly Phoenix!

This is naturally the true form of the Ice Phoenix. After all, the Ice Phoenix is ​​a member of the Phoenix Clan, and a mutated ice-attribute Phoenix bird at that, with its Heavenly Phoenix bloodline being quite formidable.

After the white light of the teleportation faded, the big-headed monster looked around intently, but he couldn't see the figure of the person who came to his aid. Just as he was wondering about this, he heard an extremely angry scream coming from the Ice Phoenix's pair of giant claws that were the size of a house.

Each of the two giant claws held a ball of light, which was clearly a defensive treasure. Inside the ball of light were two people with small horns a few inches high growing between their eyebrows. Who else could they be but reinforcements from their Horned Chi tribe?

With two deafening booms, the sphere of light burst forth with astonishing brilliance from the giant claw radiating terrifying spiritual pressure, causing the surrounding space to shatter and become blurred and distorted.

A shower of blood fell, and the two Horned Chi Clan cultivators who came to their aid perished under the giant claws before they could even see the situation clearly.

The Ice Phoenix, now in her true form, flapped her wings and flew towards the two silver warships high in the sky. Although she was not afraid, she would not allow the Horned Chi Clan to teleport here again.

The scene before him gave him an unreal feeling, and the middle-aged man from the Qing clan couldn't help but mutter:
"If I... I'm not mistaken, the two who were crushed should be Qingming and Chixiao, who were extremely famous in the Horned Chi Clan. Each of them was a top-tier ninth-level Upper Clan expert, and together they had even managed to escape unscathed from an elder of the Eternal Clan. How could they have perished so hastily?"

"This Ice Phoenix Fairy has even revealed her true form, and she is a mutated spirit bird related to the True Spirit Heavenly Phoenix. She was caught off guard by the unexpected attack. Qingming and Chixiao had just been teleported here and were caught off guard. They couldn't even unleash their full cultivation, so it's only natural that they perished here." The Crystal Clan woman's eyes flickered a few times, and she said with a hint of surprise in her tone.

In the blink of an eye during their conversation, Ice Phoenix had already reached the airspace above the silver warship. With a flash of white light on its body, its form swelled up by more than half again.

Then, two giant claws, gleaming with icy coldness, slashed downwards fiercely.

With a few loud "plop" sounds, the two giant claws grabbed into the warship and then stirred it.

As the icy air swept through, the warship was forcibly torn open with a large hole.

Then, the ice phoenix opened its mouth, and two streams of extremely cold air shot out, disappearing into the cave without a trace.

As the extreme cold raged, screams erupted from the warships, as countless members of the Horned Chi tribe were annihilated by the chilling air.

After doing this, another flash of light appeared behind the Ice Phoenix, and this time a pair of blue wings emerged.

The blue wings were decorated with patterns of grass and trees, clearly indicating that they were wings for taking flight.

With Bingfeng's current late-stage Void Refinement realm, she can naturally unleash about 70-80% of the power of this powerful Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasure ranked one hundredth.

With a flash of its wings, the Ice Phoenix transformed into a whirlwind and reappeared above the old woman's head.

A whooshing sound filled the air!
A blinding spiritual light suddenly emanated from the surface of the ice phoenix, and a pair of enormous claws slammed down.

Before the giant claw could even firmly grasp the object, an astonishing spiritual pressure, like Mount Tai pressing down, descended with overwhelming force.

"careful!"

Upon seeing this, the big-headed monster and the dwarf in the distance were both startled and shouted warnings almost simultaneously.

At the same time, the big-headed monster swung its arms at the void, and a ghostly howl arose from the surface of its arm guards. Two jets of dark light flashed and shot out.

Meanwhile, the dozen or so yellow darts circling in front of the dwarf transformed into streaks of light and shot towards him.

Both of them wanted to stop the giant bird that the Ice Phoenix had transformed into from from from from its attack.

At this moment, they all realized that the Ice Phoenix's supernatural powers far exceeded their cultivation level, and that none of them could defeat her alone.

Fear gripped them, and naturally they refused to be defeated one by one.

The old woman herself turned deathly pale the moment she sensed the terrifying spiritual pressure contained in the giant claw.

Ice Phoenix's attack was too fast; there was no way to avoid it.

Left with no other choice, the old woman gritted her teeth and spat a mouthful of blood onto the small flag in front of her.

With a sudden 'bang,' a cloud of blood mist exploded and was instantly sucked into the flag.

Almost simultaneously, a dazzling golden light emanated from the flag, and the golden magic array inscribed on it shot out, rotating slightly before transforming into a giant of over ten zhang (approximately 33 meters) and shooting into the sky.

The Ice Phoenix completely ignored the incoming black beam of light and the dozen or so yellow rays. The next moment, a giant claw slammed into the golden magic array.

With a deafening roar, white chill and golden light intertwined.

The giant bird transformed from the ice phoenix remained unperturbed, but the old woman beneath the golden magic array immediately let out a muffled groan, her face turning pale as she spat out a mouthful of blood.

But this seemingly powerful golden magic array could only barely withstand the downward force of the giant claw!

But before the old woman could even smile, a fierce glint flashed in her icy phoenix eyes, and her other giant claw followed without hesitation.

"not good!"

The old woman was terrified when she saw this.

But with no other choice, it opened its mouth again and spat out a ball of blood essence that disappeared into the golden magic circle in the air.

The power of the magic array increased significantly.

She only hoped that this treasure, fueled by her own blood essence, could still withstand one attack.

In just a short while, her two companions would arrive to help her, and she would be able to escape and reunite with them.

Even though their opponents are incredibly powerful, the three of them working together still have a chance to hold out for a while and wait for the next batch of reinforcements to arrive.

However, the old woman underestimated the Ice Phoenix's strength.

It's important to know that mutated spirit beasts are far stronger than ordinary spirit beasts, not to mention that the Ice Phoenix also possesses the bloodline of the True Spirit Heavenly Phoenix, making it almost a top-tier powerful being besides the True Spirit.

Just as the two giant claws were about to simultaneously grasp the golden magic circle, the Ice Phoenix nodded and spurred a seemingly slow but actually swift peck at the magic circle, striking it before it could strike. The golden magic circle shook violently, showing signs of instability. At that moment, the other giant claw also fiercely grabbed at the golden light.

A deafening roar, like the sky collapsing and the earth splitting apart!
The golden light emitted by the magic circle flashed wildly for only a few moments before it was torn apart like rags by two giant claws, one on the left and one on the right.

"Ahhh!"

The old woman was instantly terrified, but before she could use any other supernatural powers, a giant claw swept past her.

In an instant, a flash of claw light appeared, and the old woman's body was shattered into several pieces, with blood mist spraying down from the sky.

At this moment, two black beams of light and more than a dozen yellow rays shot towards the Ice Phoenix, about to strike its massive body.

But after the Ice Phoenix flapped its feathered wings and let out a clear cry, it was gone.

Suddenly, the void in front of him rippled, and a hazy white spatial rift appeared.

With a swift movement, the Ice Phoenix vanished into the void.

The next moment, behind the big-headed monster, another crack appeared in a flash, and the Ice Phoenix rushed out from it like a ghost.

"Space magic!"

The big-headed monster only had time to cry out in alarm before it was crushed by the giant claw that attacked from behind.

The only surviving dwarf was truly trembling with fear, but he was also a skilled cultivator at the Void Refinement stage, with a mental state far beyond that of ordinary people. With a determined heart, he swung his skull open.

A small, dark sword shot out, and with a tremor, it transformed into a dazzling rainbow, slashing towards the giant claw that was falling from the sky again.

With a muffled "bang," Jinghong struck the giant claw first.

But the next moment, it was easily bounced away, but immediately the giant claw snapped shut and grabbed Jinghong in its hand.

No matter how hard it struggled, it couldn't break free from the claws even a little.

Then a crisp sound rang out, and the flying sword was instantly cleaved into several pieces by the immense force exerted by the giant claw.

The dwarf let out a scream and then vomited several mouthfuls of blood.

The giant claw swooped down and, in a flash, seized the pale-faced dwarf.

Once caught in the giant claw, the dwarf had no power to resist. The giant claw crushed the nascent soul inside his body, and the dwarf disappeared without a trace, mixed in with the blood mist.

By this time, the Horned Chi tribe warriors and the two-headed giant eagles who had been watching the battle had already fled when the situation turned against them.

Nie Zhaonan naturally wouldn't bother with minor characters.

At this moment, the ice phoenix let out a long cry, and with a fold of its wings, it rapidly shrank in a flash of white light, instantly returning to its human form.

"Sister Bingfeng, not bad, not bad, you do have a bit of the former Lord of the Ice Sea's appearance. Speaking of which, you should thank me. If it weren't for my matchmaking back in Kunwu Mountain, you might not have the strength you have now." Looking at Bingfeng, Yinyue suddenly brought up the matter of the human realm with a smile.

"Silver Moon, you really underestimate our husband. Without you, I probably wouldn't have escaped either," Ice Phoenix said with a calm smile.

Originally, she naturally harbored a lot of resentment towards Yinyue, but after so many years, what is there left for her to be unable to let go of?

“How can you call it 'escape'? It’s clearly a good thing.” Silver Moon shook her head, somewhat disagreeing with Ice Phoenix’s statement.

The two women chatted idly, oblivious to everyone else around them.

At this moment, the three Crystal Clan women flashed and appeared not far in front of Nie Zhaonan and his group. However, the three women still glanced at Bingfeng intentionally or unintentionally, looking surprised and uncertain.

Only when Nie Zhaonan's calm gaze fell upon them did the three of them feel a chill. The Crystal Clan woman stepped forward, a smile appearing on her face, and said:
"Thank you for saving me, fellow Daoist. This is what I promised you."

The Crystal Clan woman took a deep breath, and with a flick of her hand, suddenly pulled out a white jade box from her bosom.

Several talismans of various colors were pasted on the surface, with runes faintly flowing within them.

Seeing the jade box slowly flying towards him, Nie Zhaonan simply flicked his sleeve, and the restrictive talismans attached to the surface fell off one by one. The next moment, the lid of the box opened by itself with a 'click'.

A ball of light shimmering with golden and silver hues appeared before Nie Zhaonan's eyes.

In the aura of the light, there was a simple, ancient token, about half a foot long.

One side of the token is gleaming gold, and the other side is shimmering silver. The surface is covered with dense, mysterious patterns, and both sides are inscribed with two unknown ancient characters.

"This is the Guanghan Token, and it is indeed quite peculiar." Yue Li sensed it with her divine sense and found that the material used for the token was strange and unusual. It looked ordinary, but in fact, it was icy cold on one side and scorching hot on the other, possessing both ice and fire attributes at the same time.

The Crystal Clan woman's smile vanished, and after a long pause, she spoke slowly and deliberately:
"Of course, the Guanghan Token is an object of great origin. Our Tianyuan Thirteen Clans have long suspected that the Guanghan Realm, which can only be entered with the Guanghan Token, is most likely a broken space attached to the True Immortal Realm. How could something from the True Immortal Realm be ordinary? By the way, fellow Daoist, remember not to touch the Guanghan Token in the box with your hands, otherwise, if you accidentally activate it, even if a Mahayana Ancestor is here, he will not be able to move the token."

"Thank you for informing me, fellow Daoist." Nie Zhaonan gave a simple thank you, then resealed the jade box and put it away.

"Fellow Daoist may not know, but in principle, one Guanghan Token can only allow one person to enter the Guanghan Realm. If more people want to use one Guanghan Token, a corresponding magic array needs to be set up. The method of setting up the Guanghan Token magic array may vary among the different races of the Thunderous Continent, but it is a closely guarded secret within each race. Ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators are not qualified to know it. Moreover, entering the Guanghan Realm is, after all, a cross-realm teleportation, so the materials for setting up the corresponding magic array are extremely precious. Without the support of a race, even if one has the method of setting up the magic array, it is just like cooking without rice." A sly glint flashed in the Crystal Clan woman's eyes as she said with a grin.

"It would require the power of an entire clan! That's a bit of an exaggeration. But since Fellow Daoist Wen has said so, you must not be just trying to make fun of me. Please speak frankly." Nie Zhaonan stroked his chin and asked directly.

"May I ask your honorable name, fellow Daoist?" the Crystal Clan woman suddenly asked.

"My surname is Lei, and my given name is Tian," Nie Zhaonan casually gave a pseudonym.

"So it's Fellow Daoist Lei Tian. Your Daoist partner is so powerful, you yourself must be quite strong too. How come I've never heard of you before, only Fellow Daoist Nie?" The Crystal Clan woman stared at Nie Zhaonan and asked curiously.

"My strength is not bad, but I am only at the peak of the Refinement Void Realm. Compared with my human fellow Daoist Nie, I am far inferior. After all, Fellow Daoist Nie is a cultivator at the early stage of the Integration Realm who is able to fight against a Mahayana Ancestor. I am naturally far inferior. My reputation cannot even be spread among the human and demon races, let alone reach this Thunder Continent." Nie Zhaonan's face did not turn red, his breath did not catch his breath, and his expression remained extremely calm.
