Nirvana Phoenix Song
Chapter 5: Secret Sacrifice at the Temple of Heaven
The night was as dark as ink, and the Imperial City was shrouded in a quiet and solemn atmosphere. The time for the Temple of Heaven Festival was approaching, and the entire Imperial City was making final preparations for this mysterious ceremony. The Temple of Heaven was located in the deepest part of the Imperial City and was regarded as a holy place connecting heaven and earth, but beneath this sacred appearance, endless darkness lurked.
Feng Tangyue hid in the dark alley outside the Temple of Heaven, watching the guards and priests coming and going with cold eyes. She was dressed in black, her aura was hidden like a shadow, as if she had merged with the darkness. The security of the festival was much stricter than she expected. The Temple of Heaven was surrounded by armored supernatural beings, all of them with solemn faces and sharp eyes.
Feng Tangyue held her breath. She had to sneak into the Temple of Heaven without being discovered. Her goal was clear: to find out the truth about the forbidden power and what Xiao Yufeng was trying to do in this ceremony.
The information Xiao Shi provided her showed that there was an ancient and dangerous power sealed under the Temple of Heaven. This power had been used by the royal family many times to fight against foreign enemies, but it had never been truly controlled. Now, Xiao Yufeng was obviously planning a more daring plan, trying to use this forbidden power for his own benefit.
Feng Tangyue took a deep breath, and the power of Nirvana flowed quietly in her body. The weak flame was like her perception tentacles, moving forward along the dark path, opening up a safe way for her to sneak in. Her steps were light and swift, avoiding all the patrolling guards and quietly entering the underground entrance of the Temple of Heaven.

Under the Temple of Heaven is a vast and dark space, with ancient and strange runes carved on the surrounding stone walls. Those runes emit a faint light, like whispers from ancient times, making people feel uneasy. The air is filled with a heavy breath of supernatural power, and the oppressive feeling makes people almost breathless.
Feng Tangyue held her breath and concentrated, her eyes slightly shining in the dimness. She walked slowly down the cold stone steps, taking every step carefully. Gradually, she heard a faint humming sound, as if it was the lamentations and curses of countless people, coming from all directions.
When she reached the end, she saw a shocking sight - a huge sealing formation covered the entire center of the underground. Above the formation, the shadow of a giant beast was looming. It was a monster that looked like a dragon and a phoenix, with a black aura all over its body, and its eyes flashed scarlet light, full of brutality and greed.
Feng Tangyue stared at the monster in the formation, and an inexplicable sense of familiarity surged in her heart. The monster seemed to have some kind of secret connection with her Nirvana power, and its breath resonated strangely with the fire in her body, causing her to feel palpitations.
"Is this the forbidden power of the Temple of Heaven's seal?" Feng Tangyue whispered, her voice was particularly clear in the empty underground. She could feel the power and chaos of this power, it seemed to have its own will, eager to break free from the shackles of the seal. Feng Tangyue vaguely understood that what Xiao Yufeng wanted was this unparalleled power, and once this power got out of control, it would become a disaster that destroyed the entire Feng Kingdom.
"What a rare guest, Her Royal Highness the Third Princess." Suddenly, a low and cold voice echoed underground, breaking the silence at the moment. Feng Tangyue looked up suddenly and saw Xiao Yufeng slowly walking out of the shadows, followed by several guards, completely blocking Feng Tangyue's retreat.
Xiao Yufeng looked at the monster in the formation with a deep and complicated look, "This is the source of power for Feng Country for thousands of years, and it is also the greatest curse. Do you want to know its secret?"
Feng Tangyue did not answer. Her heartbeat accelerated at this moment. The power of Nirvana was restless in her body, as if responding to the forbidden power. She knew that she had fallen into Xiao Yufeng's trap, but she could not retreat. She had to dig out all the truth from Xiao Yufeng's mouth.
Xiao Yufeng smiled slightly, as if he saw through her thoughts, "Feng Tangyue, you and it have the same fate - you are constantly struggling to find the meaning of existence. The power you pursue is nothing more than the most primitive desire in this world."
As he spoke, a dark long sword suddenly appeared in his hand, with an ominous aura wrapped around the sword, as if it could devour the light. Xiao Yufeng raised his hand and waved the long sword directly at the seal formation. Suddenly, the runes under the ground flashed wildly, and the monster in the formation let out a deafening roar. The entire underground space seemed to be torn apart by this force.
Feng Tangyue quickly retreated, the power of Nirvana ignited a blazing flame in her hand, confronting the dark sword aura. She realized that Xiao Yufeng's goal was to break the seal through this ceremony and completely release the forbidden power, so as to realize his ambition to control Feng Country.
"You're crazy! If this power gets out of control, everyone will be destroyed!" Feng Tangyue scolded coldly, but Xiao Yufeng's eyes flashed with fanaticism, "Only by controlling the most powerful power can you stand at the top of this world."
Two powerful forces collided underground, and flames and darkness intertwined, as if the entire space was shaking violently. Feng Tangyue tried her best to control the power of Nirvana, but she knew that she had not yet fully mastered this power, while Xiao Yufeng had already mastered the forbidden darkness skillfully.
Just when the battle reached a stalemate, the monster in the formation suddenly opened its bloody mouth, and a black beam of light shot straight into the sky, and the entire Temple of Heaven was shrouded in darkness. The confrontation between Feng Tangyue and Xiao Yufeng was broken by this impact, and Feng Tangyue was thrown to the ground, with the roar of the monster filling her ears.
The seal is collapsing, and the forbidden power is about to get out of control. Feng Tangyue gritted her teeth and endured the severe pain in her body. She had to make a choice - should she continue to entangle with Xiao Yufeng, or take the risk and try to reseal this power?
"Don't even think about controlling me!" Feng Tangyue's eyes were sharp. She raised her hand and ignited the last flame of Nirvana, and resolutely rushed towards the dark beam that shot up into the sky. She wanted to take a gamble and use her own strength to suppress the outbreak of the forbidden power, even if the price was that she would be completely devoured.
Darkness and fire intertwined, the battle under the Temple of Heaven was like a prelude to doomsday. Feng Tangyue's figure was looming in the light, and she wanted to use her last bit of strength to control this crazy confrontation. Her fate was already irreversible.
