Chapter 1478: The Annihilation Phoenix Returns! How Did It Die?

The heat wave struck head-on, the ice crystals melted, and the sea began to boil.

Sovereign Jiazi stared at the little firebird, without even the courage to make a move.

The members of the merfolk clan hid deep in the sea, trembling.

The little firebird glanced at Sovereign Jiazi, paid no heed, and flapped its wings heading northwest.

Sovereign Jiazi turned around, watching that firebird grow larger and larger as it flew…

"This is… a phoenix?"

Northwest of the Huaxia Federation.

"Good work!"

After using Fight-to-the-Death, the Earth Rage Bear — which should have been in a weakened state — was instead unusually exhilarated.

After killing the Thousand-Whisker Black Nightmare, it had risen from Sovereign-Rank High-Grade to God-Rank Low-Grade, its rank directly surpassing the Hell Blood Vine — it would be strange if it weren't thrilled.

"This time, you have to thank Sister Xue Li!"

The Earth Rage Bear nodded, grabbed one of the Hell Blood Vine's limp vines, and let out a low growl.

The Hell Blood Vine pulled its vine back.

The Earth Rage Bear looked at it and scratched its bear head.

"Your thanks, Sister Xue Li accepts — come back!"

Su Yang recalled the Earth Rage Bear, then turned back to look at the Hell Blood Vine.

Sister Xue Li broke free from Su Yang's body, revealing her massive true form, and held up a burning vine in front of Su Yang.

Orange-red Annihilation Fire burned on her vine.

The only good news was that the burning speed was not fast.

The Hell Blood Vine's true form was massive — burning it to ashes would be impossible without spending some time.

"Does it hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt!"

Plant-type fierce beasts generally did not feel pain strongly.

"Once Elder Yan Mo rests for a few days, I'll have it help you get rid of these flames!"

"Mm!"

"You worked hard this time!" Su Yang said. "The Earth Rage Bear just got lucky!"

"I know, I'm not angry!"

Sister Xue Li said.

But Su Yang felt she was a little unwilling to accept it.

Still, Su Yang could understand — being able to kill the "Beast God" this time, Sister Xue Li had contributed the most.

"Once the Shoushen Sect's matters are dealt with, I'll keep taking you to level up!"

"Okay!"

Sister Xue Li's voice was noticeably much happier.

"Ding~ Congratulations to the host on defeating the Shoushen Sect and killing the Beast God — mission complete!"

"Ding~ Rewarding the host with three Sovereign-Rank Upgrade Cards, one Pet Beast Talent Copy Card, and three Talent Awakening chances!"

Hearing the system prompt, Su Yang's heart settled.

The Shoushen Sect's experts were killed, its elite legion was destroyed, and even the "Beast God" had died at his hands — there might still be Shoushen Sect remnants in the northwest, but they could no longer stir up any trouble.

The Shoushen Sect was now a shell in name only.

The system rewards were also quite good.

Apart from Sister Xue Li and the Earth Rage Bear, the Sovereign-Rank Upgrade Cards could be used by the other pet beasts.

The Seven-Colored Illusion Butterfly walked to the spot where the Thousand-Whisker Black Nightmare had died, and picked up a fist-sized milky-white essence core from the extinguished flames.

She gazed at the crystal core somewhat entranced, came to Su Yang's side, and asked softly: "Master, can you give me this crystal core?"
