The Legend of Qingpeng: Starting from the Costinus

At this moment, Chi Feng had left the island and stood on the endless sea. The waves automatically parted because of her existence, forming a relatively calm area, as if the entire ocean was making way for her.

All around, storms gathered and dark clouds pressed down. The sky seemed to be torn apart by thick leaden clouds, revealing an ominous sign.

Lightning flashed through the clouds, roaring like a dragon, foreshadowing that the coming catastrophe would be unprecedentedly severe.

As the first pillar of lightning cut through the sky and came down with the power to destroy the world, the Red Phoenix immediately revealed its true form, and its body turned into a fiery red stream of light, intertwining with the pillar of lightning.

The heavenly calamity finally arrived, with dark clouds, lightning and thunder. Thick pillars of lightning, like the wrath of the gods, struck Chi Feng fiercely.

Chi Feng's body was as fast as lightning, and he nimbly shuttled between the lightning pillars. At the same time, he took the elixir that he had prepared long ago to cope with the tremendous pressure brought by the heavenly tribulation.

The collision of lightning and flames produced a dazzling burst of light that illuminated the entire sea and also reflected the red phoenix's resolute and unyielding head.

Her eyes were closed, but she seemed to be able to see through everything. The feathers on her body became more colorful under the baptism of thunder, and each feather contained powerful strength and unyielding will.

The next thunder tribulations came one after another, each more violent than the last.

Some of the lightning pillars twisted and turned like silver snakes, trying to entangle the Red Phoenix.

Some turned into huge thunder balls, bombarding with destructive force.

The Red Phoenix was agile and would sometimes soar into the sky, fighting fiercely with the lightning pillars in the air, and using its magical powers to weaken the thunder disaster.

Sometimes it dives into the seabed and uses the power of water to cushion the impact of thunder.

Each of her dodges and counterattacks seemed so precise and powerful, as if she had become one with the world.

Under the bombardment of thunder and lightning, Chi Feng's body finally could not bear the tremendous pressure.

Her feathers were singed, her skin was cracked, and blood was oozing out, but she never flinched.

On the contrary, relying on her amazing perseverance and desire for power, she continuously absorbed the essence of the calamity energy in the thunder tribulation and transformed it into her own cultivation.

Her aura became stronger and stronger, and the power in her body continued to expand, as if it would break through the limit at any time.

In this battle between man and nature, Chi Feng showed amazing perseverance and strength.

She constantly breaks through herself and regards every blow from the heavenly tribulation as an opportunity to hone herself.

Li Qing was silently guarding on the side, always paying attention to Chi Feng's condition, holding a magic heart-protecting mirror in his hand, ready to block a fatal blow for Chi Feng at the critical moment.

There was both worry and trust in his eyes. He knew that Chi Feng was ready, and he was her strongest support.

Finally, with a deafening roar, the calamity dissipated into thin air, the sky began to clear up, the dark clouds dispersed, and the long-lost sunshine appeared.

The red phoenix was suspended in the air, bathed in a faint red light, which was a sign of her successful promotion to the fifth-level demon lord.

Her eyes slowly opened, with a majestic light flashing in them, as if she had seen through the essence of all things in the world.

Her wings are more brilliant, larger and more powerful. Every flap of them can cause fluctuations in the surrounding space, demonstrating her supreme majesty as a strong person.

At this moment, Chi Feng is no longer a fourth-rank demon king, but has truly entered the ranks of the powerful men in the human world.

Seeing this, Li Qing showed a relieved smile on his face.

As Chi Feng successfully broke through to the fifth-level demon lord, brilliant colorful auspicious clouds suddenly bloomed in the sky. They seemed to be pulled by an invisible force and slowly gathered towards the location where Chi Feng was.

These auspicious clouds are colorful, interweaving to form beautiful pictures, decorating this endless sea area like a fairyland.

At the same time, the spirit stones on a small island not far away seemed to have sensed the Red Phoenix's call and began to surge with vigorous spiritual energy.

The pure energy contained in these spirit stones was completely activated by the aftermath of Red Phoenix's promotion, turning into streams that rushed towards the direction of Red Phoenix.

Chi Feng felt the sweet dew surging from the surrounding heaven and earth and the spiritual energy gathered in the spirit stones, and an indescribable excitement and joy surged in his heart.

She knew very well that this was the recognition and gift from heaven and earth for her breakthrough, and also an indispensable and valuable resource for her future practice.

So, she no longer hesitated and immediately spread her wings, as if she wanted to embrace the entire world in her arms.

Her body seemed to have turned into a huge whirlpool, madly absorbing all the spiritual energy and sweet rain around her.

These energies circulated and merged within her body, constantly nourishing her body and soul, allowing her cultivation to continue to rise while stabilizing.

As time went by, the aura of the Red Phoenix became stronger and stronger, and circles of faint red halos began to surround her body.

These halos were like substance, emitting dazzling light, making the Red Phoenix look even more sacred and inviolable.

Li Qing watched all this quietly from the side, his eyes filled with pride and satisfaction.

He knew that at this moment Chi Feng was no longer the partner who needed his constant protection, but a strong man who could truly fight alongside him.

Their future will be broader and full of more possibilities and challenges.

When Chi Feng finally finished absorbing the sweet rain from heaven and earth and the spiritual energy of the spirit stones, she slowly opened her eyes, with an unprecedented light flashing in her eyes.

She flapped her wings gently, and suddenly the wind and clouds surged, and the entire sea seemed to be under her control.

She took a deep breath, feeling the unprecedented powerful force in her body, and a confident smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

From this moment on, she officially entered the ranks of the fifth-level demon lord.

After that glorious moment on the Endless Sea Island, Chi Feng transformed into a human form and returned to the ship in the Longhai Pearl hand in hand with Li Qing.

The ship swayed gently with the waves, as if it was also rejoicing over Chi Feng's breakthrough.

The moment he stepped onto the ship, Li Qing's eyes were full of tenderness and pride.

He turned to face Chi Feng and was about to speak, but his eyes turned away. Finally, he bowed and spoke slowly: "Xiao Peng, congratulations to the Fengqi Mountain Demon King for successfully breaking through and reaching the realm of the fifth-level demon king."

"Xiao Peng's realm is low, and he will have to rely on the Scarlet Phoenix Demon Lord in the future."

Chi Feng was stunned when he heard this, and then a bright smile broke out on his face. That smile was like the rising sun, warm and dazzling.

Then, she immediately frowned and said in a cold and arrogant manner:

"You little demon, didn't you see that I just survived a catastrophe and am exhausted both physically and mentally?"

"Why don't you show some sincerity quickly? As long as you serve this demon lord well, I will make your practice smooth in the future."

Li Qing smiled knowingly when he heard that. He stood up, stepped forward and hugged Chi Feng, then leaned close to Chi Feng's ear and said, "Xiao Peng will definitely let Chi Feng Demon Lord feel my sincerity!"

After saying that, Li Qing hugged Chi Feng and walked towards the cabin.

Chi Feng's cold and beautiful face flushed. After struggling a little, she cried out in shock: "How dare you, little demon, to commit treason? Let me go quickly..."

Inside the ship, the flickering candlelight illuminated the two people's swaying figures and their heavy breathing.

With Chi Feng's breakthrough, their journey will also open a new chapter.

In the days to come, they will continue to explore the ultimate end of the path of cultivation and challenge higher realms.
