Chapter 1244: Nine Phoenix (Second update, requesting everything)

Upon seeing Li Zhangsheng and Ning Bizhen, a trace of contempt could not help but appear deep within the eyes of the Disaster King.

Due to the Heavenly Dao Breath Concealment Technique, the Disaster King could not see through Li Zhangsheng's camouflage and subconsciously assumed Li Zhangsheng was merely a King.

"So it is the All King and the Moon King. Since you have come, let this seat entertain you properly."

The Disaster King had once seen the two in the Hall of Ten Thousand Kings, which was how he recognized them at a glance.

As for Li Zhangsheng, the Disaster King was delighted by the sight of prey; after all, the other party had broken records to become a King at only 20 years old, so he must certainly harbor great secrets.

Rumor had it that Li Zhangsheng had obtained the inheritance of the Hundred Victories King; the Disaster King did not know if it was true or false, but judging by Li Zhangsheng's rate of progress, there was a high probability it was true.

Although the Disaster King mostly stayed in the Star Palace, because of the Hall of Ten Thousand Kings, he could fully coerce or bribe other Kings and Double-Character Kings to obtain information from the outside world.

However, the most pressing matter was that the inheritance of the ancient Star Emperor had always been viewed by the Disaster King as something already in his pocket. Now that Li Zhangsheng and Ning Bizhen had arrived, it meant they possessed the token—either that of the Taiyin Xing Star Lord or the ancient Star Emperor.

"Since the Disaster King is so hospitable, we shall not decline!"

When Li Zhangsheng replied, the Disaster King was only a thousand meters away from them.

For the Disaster King, a thousand meters was a Fleeting Moment.

It was also at this moment that Li Zhangsheng reached out to form a seal. Under the Disaster King's suspicious gaze, the 365 Star Banners hidden in the void were no longer concealed, completely shrouding a radius of ten thousand meters.

The next moment, the Hunyuan Heluo Forbidden Array activated, and the scene rapidly transformed, turning into the mountains, rivers, geography, oceans, skies, birds, beasts, fish, and insects of the Fairy World, evolving the changes of the Fairy World.

"This... this is the Hunyuan Heluo Forbidden Array!"

As a veteran Top-tier Double-Character King, the Disaster King was well-informed; crucially, he had witnessed it once before, which was how he could recognize it at a glance.

It was also at this time that only a few hundred meters remained between the two sides.

"The light of a firefly dares to compete with the sun and moon? How could a mere Hunyuan Heluo Forbidden Array stop this seat!"

The Disaster King remained calm; although the Hunyuan Heluo Forbidden Array was decent, as a top-tier Double-Character King, he could break it if he spent a little time.

At this moment, the Disaster King began to summon his Spirit Beasts.

Li Zhangsheng and Ning Bizhen opened their Secret Realms, and their Spirit Beasts, which had long been prepared, rushed out impatiently, charging toward the Disaster King from all directions.

"Demon Emperor Level Spirit Beasts, you... you are a Double-Character King!"

After sensing the auras of Aixi, Kailan, Bai Tian, and Hei Ye, the Disaster King's expression changed drastically. Li Zhangsheng becoming a Double-Character King clearly exceeded his expectations.

On the other side, Li Zhangsheng was also sizing up the Disaster King's Spirit Beasts.

Last time, to avoid alerting the enemy, Li Zhangsheng had not looked directly at the Disaster King's Spirit Beasts.

The Disaster King had a total of four Demon Emperor Level Spirit Beasts, including one Demon Emperor Level Divine Beast; they were the Nine Phoenix, the Sub-Ancestral Golden Dragon, the Flood Dragon, and the Ancient Nine-Headed Snake.

One Divine Beast and three Demi-God Beasts—he was indeed worthy of being a top-tier Double-Character King.

【Spirit Beast Name】: Nine Phoenix (Mature Stage, comprehended Endless Wood Rain Undying, Burning Unquenchable Truth, significantly increased its own fire resistance to water, increased flame burning time. Absorbed Bing Fire Essence, while enhancing fire-type skill power, increased burn probability, and automatically comprehended Bing Fire Divine Thunder. Absorbed Bing Fire Essence, condensed Rule Power, skill power doubled, and caused continuous damage to enemies; Rule Protection: exempts some damage, depending on the opponent's realm)

【Spirit Beast Realm】: Demon Emperor 9th Tier

【Spirit Beast Race】: Mid-level Divine Beast

【Spirit Beast Quality】: Half-Step Legendary (Guaranteed to be able to break through to the Demon Saint grade, slightly increased probability of breaking through to the Demon Emperor grade)

【Spirit Beast Bloodline】: None

【Spirit Beast Attribute】: Fire Element

【Spirit Beast Status】: Healthy

【Spirit Beast Weakness】: None (Mysterious Jade Ginseng eliminated attribute weakness)

The Nine Phoenix had nine heads similar to a phoenix; its appearance looked rather strange, and it possessed the Limb Regeneration trait, making it extremely difficult to kill.

As for the other three Demon Emperor Level Demi-God Beasts, they also possessed Epic or Half-Step Legendary quality.

This did not exceed Li Zhangsheng's expectations; the Disaster King's age was there, and as a top-tier Double-Character King, his foundation was naturally deep.

In addition to the four Demon Emperor Level Spirit Beasts, the Disaster King also had six Demon Saint Level Spirit Beasts, all of which were of Epic quality.

In terms of Spirit Beast quality alone, the Disaster King was only slightly inferior to Li Zhangsheng; the gap in this aspect was not large.

However, in terms of the number of Divine Beasts, Li Zhangsheng had an overwhelming advantage.

Kailan, Bai Tian, Hei Ye, Roundy, and the Four-Clawed Yellow Dragon—a full five Divine Beasts. With the same quality and realm, Divine Beasts could easily defeat Demi-God Beasts.

Seeing Li Zhangsheng's lineup, the Disaster King had a very bad premonition. How could he not know now that he had been schemed against by the other party?

As for Ning Bizhen's Spirit Beasts, although their quality also looked quite good, there was a clear gap compared to Li Zhangsheng's, and they were temporarily ignored by the Disaster King.

While both sides were sizing each other up, the fast Spirit Beasts had already completed the close-quarters approach and began to engage in hand-to-hand combat.

This time, Li Zhangsheng did not choose to launch a wave of long-range attacks to probe; from the very beginning, he chose to entangle the enemy to prevent the other party from escaping if they sensed things were going poorly.

Although there was the Hunyuan Heluo Forbidden Array, if the Disaster King truly fought for his life, he feared he would not last long, and Li Zhangsheng could not give him time to attack the array.

At this moment, the Disaster King was riding a tiger and hard to dismount; he had to bite the bullet and apply Secret Techniques to his Spirit Beasts, while the Heaven and Earth Great Power in his Secret Realm boosted the combat power of his Spirit Beasts as if it cost nothing.

On the other side, Li Zhangsheng made the same move; after Devouring the Qionze Blessed Land, his Secret Realm was not necessarily inferior to the Disaster King's.

Ning Bizhen on the side was much inferior; in this level of battle, the task Li Zhangsheng gave her was very simple: just entangle three or four of the Disaster King's Demon Saint Level Spirit Beasts.

Immediately, Aixi, Kailan, Bai Tian, and Hei Ye entangled the Disaster King's four Demon Emperor Level Spirit Beasts.

Of course, the Disaster King was forced to make the same move; after all, he could not let Li Zhangsheng's Demon Emperor Level Spirit Beasts deal with his Demon Saint Level Spirit Beasts.

Under Li Zhangsheng's conscious command, Aixi fought the Flood Dragon alone, Kailan held off the Sub-Ancestral Golden Dragon and the Ancient Nine-Headed Snake by herself, while Bai Tian and Hei Ye besieged the Nine Phoenix.

In the blink of an eye, what shocked the Disaster King was that Li Zhangsheng's side clearly held the upper hand.

No, it should be said that the two cats clearly held the upper hand, suppressing the Nine Phoenix from the very beginning. Utilizing exquisite, seamless coordination and unpredictable agility, they severed two of the Nine Phoenix's heads in an instant.

For a multi-headed Spirit Beast like the Nine Phoenix, the more heads it lost, the weaker its strength became.

Although the Nine Phoenix held an advantage in minor realms, it could not offset the gap in quality; it probably couldn't even win one-on-one, let alone face two cats—it would be strange if it weren't being bullied.

This was only because the Nine Phoenix had enough heads; otherwise, if it were an ordinary Divine Beast, it would likely have been severely injured or even killed instantly.
