Chapter 1220

However, these great shamans overlooked one thing.
When faced with a formidable foe that is difficult to defeat, sometimes even the desire to escape is a luxury.

The fledgling phoenix quickly wiped out the Gu Emperor's siege, glanced at the fleeing great witches with its long, slender eyes, and then slightly fluttered its wings, causing golden ripples to spread through the void.

Building nests in empty spaces is another characteristic of young phoenixes.

Within the golden light, various dendritic crystals intersected and stretched out, outlining countless layers of space. The great shamans trapped within were horrified to discover that they could not escape.

"Is this the power of the Earth Sect?"

"No, it's not the Earth Sect, it's his fist skills that are powerful, and the secret techniques he brings with him."

For a moment, the great shamans were terrified. Such a level of fist skill was comparable only to the top fist skills in the shaman clan.

They had some prior knowledge of the Infant Phoenix Devouring Dragon Technique, but the Hundred Birds Elder's cultivation level was limited; this fist technique was at most the ceiling of the Strong Martial Arts, and it would be difficult for him to even advance to the Grandmaster level.

However, in Lu Zhigang's hands, the rotten can be turned into the miraculous, producing earth-shattering effects.

"Godfather, you are truly a genius!"

Lu Chongsheng grew increasingly desperate. With her aptitude, breaking through to the Phoenix Chick stage was already a struggle, let alone mastering all these characteristics—it was practically impossible.

If a fledgling phoenix already possesses such power, how will it grow into a fully-fledged phoenix?
Furthermore, the ultimate fist technique mentioned by the adoptive father, Lu Zhigang, is the Phoenix that devours the world.

The fledgling phoenix strolled leisurely through the void, teasingly calling out names one by one. Each powerful martial arts master, despite their best efforts, could not withstand its attack and perished under its beak.

At this moment, an aged voice came from below, "Quickly bring out the totem and spread the net to catch it."

It turned out that the secret technique that the shamans and sorcerers of the four altars had been preparing for a long time could finally be activated.

Upon hearing this, the high shamans hurriedly squeezed out their essence blood and dripped it onto their bodies. The totems on their chests, abdomens, shoulders, necks, and even faces peeled off rapidly like vines, moving nimbly like snakes in the void.

On each altar, the three witches kowtowed and chanted incantations frantically, unleashing a mysterious power.

One totem after another began to connect and intertwine, as if entering and leaving the void and rapidly descending into the void nest. The tree-like crystals that had originally trapped the great shamans could no longer stop the totem net.

The fledgling phoenix was slightly surprised; the large net that had fallen from the void was clearly aimed at it.

"Watch closely, this is one of the sorcerers' most secret techniques, which comes from the Book of Myriad Wonders of Transformation."

"A totem nourished by blood and flesh is a semi-active substance of the same level as a Gu worm. Once activated by a secret method, and then reconciled by the three witches using an altar, it can merge without any obstacles and exert power beyond its level."

"With so many great shamans working together, even a grandmaster could be captured alive by this totem net."

The fledgling phoenix was not yet at the level of a grandmaster, so the great shamans were determined to obtain it and won a great victory by overwhelming force.

Lu Zhigang analyzed the situation seriously and calmly.

The giant shaman sneered, "You're quite knowledgeable. It seems the rumors are true. Poison Taiyue obtained fragments of our clan's sacred text, and you snatched them from him."

"It's a pity that the Book of Myriad Wonders of Transformation is no longer what it used to be."

Zhou You sensed something deeper in those words and pressed for more information, asking, "What changes have occurred?"

When the other party did not answer, the totem network underwent another change. The totems appeared to be a fusion of vines, tentacles, and skeletons, with countless strands of light shimmering inside.

Finally, the unfolding net revealed a symbol never before seen.

Zhou You didn't recognize the symbol and thought it was somewhere between a pattern and a character, not in the style of the Nine Tripods.

This symbol was not recorded in any of the myriad wonders of creation he had read.

In other words, this item was added later. It seems that the sudden power of the shaman was not unfounded; something significant must have happened.

After the symbol appeared, it mobilized the power of the great shamans behind the totem, and through a unique operating route, it was amplified and enhanced, instantly rising to the level of a grandmaster, and also accompanied by the power to break through the void.

The phoenix's void nest showed faint signs of collapse, its body enveloped by a large net that gradually shrank the surrounding space. Just as the phoenix was about to be captured, the next moment…

The final feature has been revealed, named 'Phoenix Facing the Sun'.

Indeed, this characteristic embodies the essence of the sun, a power that transcends reality.

The young phoenix's head and tail feathers lit up one by one, as red as burning flames, instantly transforming into a burning firebird, as red as cinnabar, living up to its name 'Crimson Phoenix'.

A pair of long, beautiful phoenix eyes, with a burning, bright gaze, looked over the crowd and into another world.

That is an infinite yearning for something beyond the real world, to ascend to the sun, to achieve limitless elevation.

The moment the phoenix facing the sun appeared, it ripped the totem net to shreds with overwhelming force. After the net disappeared, the symbol stubbornly lingered for a few breaths before vanishing without a trace.

The fledgling phoenix, transformed into a red phoenix, pecked off the heads of the defenseless great shamans one by one, like a hen pecking at insects, tearing out their intestines and then swallowing their bodies.

Chu Jianxiu's palms were sweating. It was terrifying. The formidable enemy who had once hunted him relentlessly had been so easily slaughtered.

Lu Zhigang has reappeared after disappearing for many years, and has reached an unprecedented level.

"Could it be the late stage of the Powerful Martial Realm, the eighth or ninth level?"

When Chu Jianxiu first saw his wife practicing martial arts together, he had a slight understanding of the level of the Infant Phoenix Swallowing Dragon Technique.

The Infant Phoenix and the Young Phoenix correspond to the three stages of the Powerful Martial Arts realm: before, during, and after.

It is said that there is also a Phoenix Transformation stage, corresponding to the Grandmaster realm, but it only exists in the imagination of the Hundred Birds Elder, and no one has ever mastered it.

'Lu Zhigang' easily killed so many great witches, which definitely surpasses the peak of the powerful martial arts realm.

"Congratulations on mastering the divine skill of the adoptive father and slaying all the enemies."

Lu Chongsheng offered his congratulations and gestured for Chu Jianxiu to step forward and pay her respects.

Suddenly, a majestic voice rang out from the horizon, "Where did these remnants come from, daring to challenge my superior clan's shamans?"

This is the second time I've heard the term "Shangzu" today.

Zhou You asked Lu Chongsheng, "Do they all refer to themselves as 'the Upper Clan'?"

“That’s right, the hierarchy of the shamans is that they are the upper class and we are the lower class. Father, that’s not the point.”

"The one who's coming is the Chief Witch, a grandmaster-level expert who commands these great witches. We'd better run!"

Zhou You shook his head upon hearing this, "You don't understand. When facing a grandmaster, the word 'escape' can be deleted."

"If you can't beat him, you can't escape either. If you can beat him, why bother running away?"

"Moreover, the fact that you heard the Grandmaster's voice means that we are all within his attack range."

Zhou You spread his hands, "Just wait, the guests have arrived."

"Well done, Lu Zhigang! Such insight is truly rare. Could it be that during your time faking your death, you went to other places to train and witnessed the power of a Grandmaster?"

Boom! The sorcerer who descended from the sky had two side eyes on his face, making him a four-eyed sorcerer, and he was also a genuine grandmaster-level sorcerer leader.
