Chapter 1308: The Fall of the Phoenix (Second Update, requesting all)

The Phoenix Emperor's expression changed drastically, and she immediately wanted to recall the Phoenix Egg.

Unfortunately, the Phoenix Emperor did not possess a super-grade secret technique like the Myriad Image Attraction that could instantly retrieve a Demon Pet, and coupled with the influence of the four tripods' suppression, she could not recall it in an instant.

Consequently, the Phoenix Emperor met with tragedy.

At this moment, the White Jade Twin Rings and the Biluohuangquan Twin Swords stalemated for a breath of time, but finally, unable to hold on any longer, they were forcefully knocked away by the Biluohuangquan Twin Swords, with many cracks caused by sword Qi appearing on the rings.

The Biluohuangquan Twin Swords, their momentum only slightly reduced, continued to thrust toward the Phoenix Egg.

"No!"

The Phoenix Emperor wanted to have her Demon Pets provide support, but because the power of the previous Yin Yang Divine Shuttle explosion was too strong, these Demon Pets had put some distance between themselves and the Phoenix Egg to avoid being caught in the blast; at this point, it was already too late.

The Human Emperor wanted to provide support, but he was being desperately entangled by the Wudi, and he was also a beat too slow.

Pfft~

In an instant, under the Phoenix Emperor's gaze that threatened to split her eyes, the Biluohuangquan Twin Swords pierced through the Phoenix Egg.

Chirp~

A loud, mournful cry rang out from the Phoenix Egg, followed by an abrupt silence.

Pfft~

The Phoenix Emperor's complexion turned pale in a flash, and her voluptuous body swayed.

It was fortunate that the Phoenix was not her Life-Bound Demon Pet; otherwise, even as an Emperor, she would have perished unless she possessed special means.

However, having lost the Demon Emperor Level Phoenix, the Phoenix Emperor's combat power plummeted, and her strength was likely now on par with the current Wudi.

After killing the Phoenix, the Biluohuangquan Twin Swords curled back, intending to return with the Phoenix Egg.

"Human Emperor!"

The Phoenix Emperor's teeth-gritting voice rang out; she possessed a Phoenix Clan Treasure that could convert a Phoenix Corpse into a large amount of Spirit Essence at a ratio as high as 1/3, meaning three Phoenix Corpses could be converted into one Phoenix.

If she added the Phoenix Emperor's existing stock, she could at least convert one Red Luan, and if she had a bit more, it was not impossible to possess a Phoenix once again.

Therefore, once the Phoenix Egg was obtained by Li Zhangsheng, it was a massive loss for the Phoenix Emperor; to make up for the depletion, she had to retrieve the Phoenix Egg.

But she alone was not confident in taking it back and had to seek help from the Human Emperor.

The Human Emperor's expression was grave; the Phoenix Emperor was his ally and secret lover, so he naturally had no intention of refusing, as the stronger the Phoenix Emperor was, the more beneficial it was for him.

But what the Human Emperor did not expect was that Aixi grabbed the damaged Mysterious Yellow Seal and flew toward Li Zhangsheng from the other side.

The Mysterious Yellow Seal was severely damaged, which directly resulted in the Human Emperor being unable to wield it as easily as before, allowing Aixi to pick up the bargain.

Between the Mysterious Yellow Seal and the Phoenix Egg, facing these two choices, the Human Emperor naturally chose to have them both.

Although the Mysterious Yellow Seal was severely damaged, it contained a large amount of Mysterious Yellow Merit Qi, so how could the Human Emperor be willing to give it up?

Consequently, the Human Emperor signaled the Demon Emperor Level Fei Lian to retrieve the Mysterious Yellow Seal held by Aixi, while simultaneously pulling out a flag embroidered with numerous green lotuses.

This was the Green Lotus Cloud Boundary Flag, yet another Langhuan Supreme Treasure.

The Human Emperor pointed at the Phoenix Egg, and the Green Lotus Cloud Boundary Flag suddenly vanished; when it reappeared, it landed abruptly above the Phoenix Egg, countless Green Lotuses blooming and shrouding a radius of a hundred meters, vaguely giving the feeling of forming a world of its own.

Without a doubt, the Green Lotus Cloud Boundary Flag was an extremely rare space-type supreme treasure, far superior to Li Zhangsheng's Space Golden Bridge; at the very least, the Space Golden Bridge could not be used at all in the Imperial Capital.

"As expected, I still have to use this move!"

Li Zhangsheng sighed inwardly, but his movements were not slow.

The next moment, a Purple Crown rushed out from Li Zhangsheng's Consciousness Sea; this was naturally the Purple Extreme Golden Palace Starry Sky Crown.

Countless starlight gathered, instantly condensing into a figure with a majestic appearance; his eyes contained the Sun and Moon, the phantom of the Sun appearing in his left eye and the phantom of the Moon in his right, with a mysterious purple mark on his glabella.

This was the phantom of the Star Emperor; he wore the Purple Crown, was draped in the Zhou Tian Star Robe, held the unfurled Sun Moon Star Chart in his left hand, and supported a Nine-Layered Pagoda in his right.

At the same time, the Nine Heavens Clear Qi Pagoda in Li Zhangsheng's Consciousness Sea flew out and merged with the Nine-Layered Pagoda in the ancient Star Emperor's right hand.

"Star Emperor!"

How could the Human Emperor and the Phoenix Emperor not recognize the ancient Star Emperor? Their expressions changed abruptly, but before they could take action, the ancient Star Emperor phantom shook the Sun Moon Star Chart.

In an instant, a highly concentrated stellar ray landed on the Green Lotus space created by the Green Lotus Cloud Boundary Flag.

Pop~

The Green Lotus space trembled violently, and coupled with the Biluohuangquan Twin Swords rampaging inside, it finally could not hold on and collapsed, vanishing.

To avoid damage to the Green Lotus Cloud Boundary Flag, the Human Emperor hurriedly recalled it, on high alert.

After breaking the Green Lotus space, the ancient Star Emperor phantom was significantly blurred; this time, he raised the Nine Heavens Clear Qi Pagoda in his right hand.

The Nine Heavens Clear Qi Pagoda spun at high speed, shooting nine light beams of different colors from the Nine-Layered Pagoda, charging toward the nine closest Demon Pets.

If one observed carefully, one would find that these nine light beams consisted of three thin ones and six thick ones, among which the gold, crimson, ink-green, ice-blue, earthy-yellow, and silver beams were significantly thicker than the other three.

In terms of power, the three thinner beams were equivalent to a strike from an ordinary Demon Emperor Level, while the six thicker beams, even if they did not reach the level of a strike from an ordinary Demon Emperor Level Demon Pet, were roughly equivalent to the power of a full-force strike from Aixi.

"Defend!"

Under these circumstances, how could the Human Emperor and the Phoenix Emperor have the heart to care about the Mysterious Yellow Seal and the Phoenix Egg? They had to hold on through this wave first.

Because in addition to the nine light beams, they also had to fend off the attacks from the Demon Pets of Li Zhangsheng, the Wudi, and Ning Bizhen.

Rumble~

At this moment, the sound of explosions resounded through the heavens once again, countless energy tides spread wildly, and ripples undulated through the void.

The Imperial Capital was naturally caught in the aftermath, and countless buildings were destroyed like tofu, turning into a ruin.

As the ancient Star Emperor phantom vanished, Li Zhangsheng immediately recalled the Purple Extreme Golden Palace Starry Sky Crown, which now had another obvious crack on it; as for the Nine Heavens Clear Qi Pagoda, it was dim and lusterless, clearly showing that releasing such power was not without a price, requiring at least a period of time to recover.

As for the Mysterious Yellow Seal and the Phoenix Egg, they were naturally accepted by Li Zhangsheng with a smile.

"Go!"

Li Zhangsheng and the Wudi exchanged a glance, and except for the Demon Pets with sufficient speed, all other Demon Pets were recalled, and they immediately charged toward the outside of the Imperial Capital.

It had to be said that the Imperial Capital of the Mucang Empire was not ordinarily large.

In the process of fighting and retreating, the two had already approached the edge of the Imperial Capital, and with a few more breaths of time, they would be able to leave the range of the Imperial Capital.

On the other side, the Spirit Emperor, who had been waiting for the benefits promised by both sides, watched in a daze; he never expected that the Human Emperor and the Phoenix Emperor would suffer such a huge loss, which was completely different from what he had anticipated.

Such a situation made the Spirit Emperor understand that he had likely lost the opportunity to gain any benefits; while secretly lamenting it as a pity, he did not continue to watch the show, and hurriedly transformed into a streak of light, flying toward the outside of the Imperial Capital from the other side.

There was no help for it; staying any longer would actually be somewhat dangerous, as who knew what the Human Emperor and the Phoenix Emperor were thinking in their hearts.
