Chapter 242: Divine Ability, Divine Ability (Please Subscribe)

"However, can you really succeed in Nirvana?"

Du En was suffering under the torture of the Phoenix's lingering hatred, facing the burning of his body and soul by the scarlet phoenix flames, yet he had gradually endured and adapted to it; although he was scorched black and his entire body carbonized, his gaze returned once more to the stillness of an ancient well as he asked this question.

Since the Falling Feather Immortal Sect dared to leave the Phoenix Blood Firmiana here, not fearing that it would achieve Nirvana and escape, they must certainly have made preparations...

"There are no preparations!"

Cui Wei, in the midst of Nirvana, was incomparably certain of this: "What did you think I was doing for the first one hundred and fifty years of these past two hundred years? Naturally, it was to confirm whether or not there were any preparations from this sect here!"

"Although the Phoenix is dead, its hatred remains! In life, He was a Great Vehicle stage being; He could not possibly allow the Immortal Sect to make any preparations around Him!"

Indeed.

Du En felt the lingering resentment and residual hatred that was burning and tearing at him; if the Falling Feather Immortal Sect truly had any nearby preparations, it would only trigger its violent counterattack, and even if it meant burning himself to ashes, it would absolutely not stop.

And given its level, it would be sufficient to discover all conventional preparations... So, is it the boundary grand formation?

He slightly raised his head and looked toward the sky.

The boundary grand formation that shrouded the entire Falling Feather territory was of an unimaginable grade, but it had to be at least eighth-tier; if it were truly activated to exert pressure, it could naturally suppress any rebellion within it with a backhand!

Cui Wei seemed to be able to see this place, only laughing loudly: "Expecting the boundary grand formation? Ridiculous. If it wasn't activated at the beginning, then it won't be activated later. I won the gamble!"

Indeed.

Du En secretly agreed again; the anomaly here had likely been detected by the sect long ago. After all, even the Red Firmiana Mountain Range had collapsed from the middle; the commotion was truly too great, and it was impossible for it not to have been monitored.

So, the fact that it was still so calm until now could only mean that the sect did not want to intervene and had chosen an attitude of standing by and watching.

It was likely that Meng Changqing was not the one on duty, and if it were other True Monarchs, it would be considered normal for them to do this...

"Hahaha! You have no hope left, do you! Then just wait obediently for me. If you're lucky, you might turn to fly ash before I finish my Nirvana, and if you're unlucky... Hehehe! Hahahaha! Your luck is truly bad!"

Boom!

That flaming egg suddenly exploded, and Cui Wei, having finished Nirvana, revealed his form.

His form was elegant, his feathers resembled those of a German bird, with a long neck and swallow-like chin, a chicken beak and overlapping wings... The overall shape was close to a bird, but it still retained human-like features, about a zhang long, standing proudly and stepping in the air, stretching his limbs to his heart's content, revealing an expression of indulgence and intoxication.

"It is truly worthy of being the divine bird Phoenix; it is simply beautiful!"

"Don't you think so?"

"Oh, I forgot, you are suffering under the torture of the hatred fire, the pain is hard to resolve, and your body, mind, and soul cannot escape turning to fly ash. I fear that by now, even your emotions have been burned away!"

Facing such words from Cui Wei, Du En only calmly used his words to make his rebuttal: "To only have the early Golden Core stage after Nirvana, regressing instead of advancing; it seems you are nothing more than a hollow shell."

"Insolent!"

Cui Wei was furious, his voice hidden in a screech, "I am already of a genius's stature; my soul is that of a Phoenix, and I have inherited everything of the Phoenix. Compared to you—no, compared to that unfulfilled soul advantage of yours—it is even more extraordinary by ten thousand times; it is a talent you cannot understand!"

"No matter how special the soul is, it hasn't been realized at the Golden Core stage yet; what practical significance does it have?"

"... You want to ask for a decent, quick death, right? Fine, very well, I grant it to you!"

Cui Wei was at a moment of being full of ambition and having all his fears dispersed; how could he tolerate being mocked like this? Not to mention that Du En's face was calm and appeared sincere, which made it even more unacceptable.

So he immediately decided to follow this brat's wish to seek death and avoid torture, and directly help him find release!

Thus, Cui Wei extended his claw, directly piercing Du En's skull.

The red fire burned itself, actually also carrying an unspeakable pain.

Hatred, hatred, hatred, hatred, hatred, hatred...

I hate! I hate!

Damn it! All of you deserve to die! You all deserve to die!

Resenting everything, hating everything to the core; even the version of himself that had achieved Nirvana was likewise the target of that hatred!

Thus, this red fire burned directly upward, the lingering hatred tangled and inseparable, terrifying Cui Wei until his heart and spirit shook violently, his soul panicked, and deep within that divine palace, he emitted continuous, panicked screeches.

Because once it was stained, it could not be shaken off!

No, it should be said that he himself was a spark; he had just finished Nirvana and was still in a state of hibernation, but at this moment, being triggered, it immediately began to stir, wanting to reignite that lingering resentment!

This was simply not a karmic obstacle that could be shaken off by Nirvana!

However, soon, he would not need to be so panicked.

"It seems that this Nirvana, rather than being the legacy of the Phoenix from back then, is more like that newly born Firmiana tree."

?!!!

Cui Wei's face stiffened, unable to believe it.

Because the scarlet flames of lingering hatred had abruptly extinguished just now, Du En's eyes were calm, and the scorched black carbon shell on his body began to crumble from the top of his head, revealing a face that was as intact as before.

One of his hands was still pinching his own severed arm.

Hm?

Severed arm?

"Ah..."

"Don't make a scene or struggle; I only stopped it before it was officially ignited because I didn't want such a good corpse to go to waste."

"How, did, you, do, it!"

For every word spoken, he received a blow.

Du En grabbed his severed arm with one hand and clenched his fist with the other, Golden Core radiance shining, star rings bursting forth, with all his strength and spirit fully opened, and vaguely, there was even the shadow of the yellow earth; he punched down, beating Cui Wei until his skin split and flesh tore, and his bones shattered.

The entire bird face was unrecognizable in the blink of an eye.

"The Phoenix's Nirvana rebirth is a divine ability, and I am very sorry, but divine abilities are something I actually have as well."

Divine Ability, Bury Death and Flourish Life!

In the instant he recovered to his full state, he wiped away the Phoenix's lingering hatred, and incidentally, also severed the bird claw that had been left behind, intercepting his skull.

This kind of severing was not just physical; it also involved a deeper level of Dao principles!

If they were both in a state of Nirvana rebirth, it would be hard to say which of the two divine abilities would win, but now it was clear at a glance; his side was completely and far superior!

Du En had endured the pain until just now, acting according to circumstances, in order to utilize Cui Wei's character flaw and lure him—while he was in his Nirvana state—to act just like that, so he could fully grasp the chance for victory!

Consequently, Cui Wei was now suffering from the impact of the divine ability, his body completely devoid of strength, unable to resist at all; he could only watch helplessly as his eyes were blown apart, his final glimpse catching the brilliant golden light on the fist, while his divine sense perceived a vast expanse of yellow earth, continuously crashing and grinding toward him.

Upon it was a small sprout, appearing inconspicuous, yet it grew vigorously, becoming stronger with each passing day.

Perhaps because the Phoenix Soul originated from the parasol tree, Cui Wei's attention was now involuntarily focused on this, and a sense of longing and envy could not help but arise, mingling with his own terror, despair, and horror.

Ahhhhh! I don't want to die!

How nice, I also want to grow vigorously, to grow up...

Bang~

The skull shattered, the divine soul was extinguished, and Cui Wei died.
