Douluo: Traveling Through the Universe, Reversing Time and Space

Chapter 285: Ten Thousand Years Phoenix, Devouring Phoenix Power

Shi Yu still played it safe and decided to see how strong the phoenix of the 999th year could be.
The challenge began, and the 9,999-year-old soul beast brought him considerable pressure, making him feel like he was facing a high-level soul saint.
Combined with the Phoenix God's combat instincts, this Phoenix would likely have an advantage against most high-level Soul Saints.
After all, he also possesses the ultimate Phoenix flame, which means Shi Yu is immune to flames, otherwise he would be in a rather awkward situation right now.
This time, it took ten minutes to defeat the 9999-year-old phoenix.
This difficulty level is already the third level, and the rewards are much more generous, including a collective increase of 3,000 years in spirit ring age and a two-level increase in spirit power.
Shi Yu still chose to keep the reward and continue the challenge.
After an hour's rest, he will face a ten-thousand-year-old phoenix.
It happened to be a phoenix that was ten thousand years old. Although it had only increased in age by one year, the strength of this phoenix was more than ten times that of the previous nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-year-old phoenix, much stronger.
Ten years to a hundred years, a hundred years to a thousand years, a thousand years to ten thousand years, ten thousand years to a hundred thousand years, these are the nodes at which the power of soul beasts undergoes transformation.
The further you go, the greater the degree of transformation will be. It is normal for the strength to increase several times or even dozens of times over the course of a thousand to ten thousand years.
This ten thousand year level super soul beast can rival some weaker hundred thousand year soul beasts.
Of course, it's just a shoulder to shoulder fight, and maybe it can be done after a few hundred moves.
But if the battle continues, the ten thousand year old super soul beast will definitely be defeated.
Except for some weak-blooded soul beasts that appear by chance, most soul beasts that can reach 100,000 years old are of top-level bloodlines.
Without top-tier bloodline, it would be difficult for you to break through the shackles of a hundred-thousand-year-old spirit beast.
This is just like if your innate soul power is only at level three or four, unless you have a great opportunity to change your cultivation talent, you will never be able to cultivate to the title in this lifetime. Your innate situation determines your upper limit.
With top-level bloodline and the cultivation of a hundred thousand year old soul beast, how could these ten to twenty thousand year old super soul beasts possibly defeat it?
Feeling the powerful aura of the Thousand Year Phoenix, Shi Yu's expression became serious. Even if he could be immune to fire, it would not be so easy to defeat this Thousand Year Phoenix.
The opponent's strength has definitely reached the level of a high-level Soul Douluo. Even a Titled Douluo of level 91 would not be able to defeat him so easily.
However, his fire immunity ability can still reduce the opponent's strength to a certain extent.
It might be more appropriate to consider it as a Contra below level 85.
The battle began quickly, with the thousand-year-old phoenix taking the initiative and attacking with exceptional force, its flames completely overwhelming.
Shi Yu teleported to dodge and closed the distance, releasing the Dark Gold Claw on his right hand and using the Soul Bone skill, Ice and Fire Claw.
This is an upgraded version of this soul bone skill. Not only does it have the sharpness of the Dark Gold Terror Claw, but it also has the power of ice and fire, making it one or two times more powerful than the original Dark Gold Terror Claw skill.
The Ten Thousand Year Phoenix's reaction was also extremely fast, neutralizing the damage of the Ice and Fire Claws to the greatest extent possible, and the trauma it suffered was relatively limited.
It is worth mentioning that this condensed fire phoenix can also be injured. If it can't be injured, it would be too shameful. Its true combat power is not just as simple as its age, it must be at least doubled.
The Flame Phoenix also swiftly responded with an attack. With some of the Phoenix God's combat instincts, the Phoenix fought with great skill and formidable skill.
Shi Yu quickly teleported to avoid the attack. Even though he was immune to fire, he didn't want to take the attack lightly. The impact would still make him feel uncomfortable.
He kept dodging and actively attacked the Ten Thousand Year Phoenix.
The Flame Phoenix, which usually takes the initiative to attack, passively defended and dealt with Shi Yu's attacks very well, making Shi Yu feel particularly difficult.
The Void Slash was released and successfully hit, but the damage it caused to the Ten Thousand Year Phoenix was relatively limited.
He used the realm to trap the Ten Thousand Year Phoenix, hoping it would explode and attack, thus causing him to suffer the consequences.
The Ten Thousand Year Phoenix did indeed explode with its attack, allowing the realm to accumulate powerful strength.
But at the moment of the explosion, the Millennium Phoenix reacted quickly and used its defensive skills. Its wings wrapped around itself to form a strong protection, minimizing the damage of the explosion.
"It's really amazing!" Shi Yu couldn't help but exclaimed, worthy of being the legendary phoenix.
This is probably a weaker type of phoenix. Just like dragons, some are strong and some are weak. Although phoenixes are not as uneven as dragons, not all phoenixes are incredibly powerful.
The phoenix before him was very powerful, but it was still within acceptable range. It was definitely not comparable to the first generation phoenix.
The bloodline of the first generation Phoenix might be comparable to that of the Dragon God. He felt that he could easily wipe out the ten thousand year old Dragon God.
Actually, the saying of a ten-thousand-year-old dragon god might be wrong. The more powerful a soul beast's bloodline is, the less likely it is to be defined by age.
For example, the Dragon God could cultivate from a weak power to the level of a god in just a few decades, and even become incredibly powerful in ten thousand years.
Can you look upon a dragon god who has lived for over ten thousand years with the same eyes as a ten thousand year old soul beast?
Half of the time had passed, and Shi Yu felt a sense of urgency, so he had to choose a more risky approach.
He teleported onto the back of the Phoenix and grabbed it tightly.
Even though he was immune to fire, he felt the burning sensation the moment he grasped the Ten Thousand Year Phoenix.
The eight spider lances of the Eight Spider Lance all pierced into the body of the Ten Thousand Year Phoenix and began to madly absorb the energy of the Ten Thousand Year Phoenix.
This phoenix is ​​formed by condensed energy. As long as I absorb all its energy, I can defeat it.
This way, I might be able to gain some benefits, but this approach is also extremely risky.
The Flame Phoenix lacked human hands and feet, so it was difficult for it to take Shi Yu down, but it had other ways.
The energy inside his body kept bursting out and hitting Shi Yu's body. Each impact was like a heavy hammer hitting Shi Yu. It was so painful.
Seeing that it couldn't get Shi Yu down, the Flame Phoenix continued to fly close to the ground, turning its body upside down and pressing Shi Yu against the ground, almost pressing him completely into the mud.
The feeling of being pressed into the mud and rubbed was extremely uncomfortable. The strong pressure and high speed made Shi Yu's body unable to withstand it.

In order to defeat this ten thousand year old phoenix, he could only grit his teeth and persevere, refusing to retreat no matter what.

He used all his strength to activate the Eight Spider Lances to devour the energy of the Ten Thousand Year Phoenix. Now it depends on whether he can hold on longer or the energy of the Ten Thousand Year Phoenix can last longer.

He continued to absorb the top-level fire energy of the Ten Thousand Year Phoenix. The power was so strong that it made his body feel swollen.

These powers do not contain life essence, so they cannot be used to assist in healing, they can only be controlled.
