Chapter 1506: Ancestral Phoenix (Second update, requesting all)

The Phoenix Clan Elder hurriedly said: "The Lord of the Heavenly Realm has misunderstood; I am not a lobbyist for the Qilin Clan, but am here to express our Phoenix Clan's most sincere respects to you."

Now that Li Zhangsheng's momentum was established, the Phoenix Clan did not want to get involved in the affairs between Li Zhangsheng and the Qilin Clan. Even though the Phoenix Clan and the Qilin Clan had joined forces to resist the Dragon Clan in the ancient era, there were constant conflicts between them as well.

There was no helping it; both the Phoenix Clan and the Qilin Clan lived on land, and they would occasionally trigger disputes over resources, which was the main source of their conflict.

Conversely, after the Three Clans War, the Dragon Clan had shrunk their influence into the most fertile Four Seas, almost never participating in disputes on land, and even rarely leaving the Four Seas, which resulted in their conflicts with the Phoenix Clan and the Qilin Clan not being as prominent as one might imagine.

Seeing that Li Zhangsheng did not reply, the Phoenix Clan Elder had to continue: "Our Phoenix Clan has rejected the Qilin Clan's request for aid. Additionally, our Ancestor hopes that the Lord of the Heavenly Realm can visit the Undying Volcano as a guest."

Li Zhangsheng's heart stirred; this was indeed one of his goals, but going to the Undying Volcano would always carry a bit of risk.

The Phoenix Clan had not suffered heavy losses like the Qilin Clan, and furthermore, the Undying Volcano had the Ancestral Phoenix sitting in command. He was not afraid of the Ancestral Phoenix, but what if the Ancestral Phoenix took a dislike to him and used a Burning Body Explosion on him?

Of course, such a situation was almost impossible to occur, at least it could not happen at the Undying Volcano, otherwise, it would be the Phoenix Clan's path to self-destruction.

However, Li Zhangsheng was very cautious. He didn't fear the ten thousand, but he feared the one-in-a-ten-thousand chance; naturally, before heading to the Undying Volcano, he would leave himself a way out.

Advance to attack, retreat to defend; consider defeat before considering victory—this was Li Zhangsheng's principle.

"I also happen to want to see the demeanor of the Ancestral Phoenix with my own eyes. Before long, I will personally head to the Undying Volcano!"

Li Zhangsheng agreed; if he wanted to become the Lord of the Human Realm, the Ancestral Phoenix was definitely a point that could not be bypassed.

Of course, the same went for the Dragon Clan's Zhulong, but the difference was that the Ancestral Phoenix's prestige within the Phoenix Clan was greater than Zhulong's prestige within the Dragon Clan.

There was no helping it; who told Zhulong that his descendants were exceptionally sparse, unlike the Ancestral Dragon who was so good at procreating? He had been in seclusion for years before the Three Clans War and went to suppress the Sea Eye after the Three Clans War. His exposure rate was far inferior to the Ancestral Phoenix, so his prestige was naturally much lesser. This could be seen from the issue of how the Four Seas Dragon Kings viewed Zhulong.

After Li Zhangsheng agreed, the Phoenix Clan Elder felt a sense of relief. She did not leave immediately, but stayed on the sidelines to watch the war between Li Zhangsheng and the Qilin Clan.

"It seems there is no need to wait any longer!"

The Phoenix Clan refused to support the Qilin Clan, and the Human Emperor, Blood Emperor, and Thunder Emperor were late to arrive, clearly not coming. Thus, Li Zhangsheng decided to increase the intensity.

The next moment, the Sun Moon Star Chart merged into the Zhou Tian Star Dou Forbidden Array. With the Sun Moon Star Chart suppressing the array eye, the power of the Zhou Tian Star Dou Forbidden Array immediately surged by a notch.

However, the Innate Wutu Forbidden Array, which had the replenishment of the earth vein's power, still stubbornly resisted the offensive, and it would be difficult to break through in a short time.

At this moment, the River Chart and Luo Book appeared above Li Zhangsheng's head, transforming into a slowly rotating, massive Bagua pattern. Beams of light shot out, falling from all directions into the Innate Wutu Forbidden Array, searching for the weak points of the forbidden array.

Li Zhangsheng deduced rapidly and soon had the answer. He discovered that the speed at which the forbidden array operated in the northwest direction would occasionally slow down by half a beat. Although it was imperceptible, this was the flaw. As long as he grasped this instant, he could easily break the array.

Under Li Zhangsheng's control, the puppets began to erupt. The planets formed by gathered star power beneath their feet began to break away from their orbits, rapidly lining up in a row; this was completely the posture of a 365 Star Alignment.

In an instant, the 365 planets began to break the surface with a point, smashing crazily against the earth-yellow light screen formed by the Innate Wutu Forbidden Array.

At this moment, the Innate Wutu Forbidden Array fluctuated violently. Even with the replenishment of the earth vein's power, it still gave people the feeling that it would shatter at any moment.

Inside the Innate Wutu Forbidden Array, the Wutu Qilins and Earth Qilins who were maintaining the earth vein's power had their expressions change. They were already giving their all, and seeing that the forbidden array was about to be forcibly broken, they had to use a Secret Technique, overloading the gathering of earth vein power, which finally stabilized it somewhat.

"Attack!"

Yet at this very moment, the Demon Pets, who had long been prepared, launched their long-range offensives one after another, pouring them down crazily.

The two great Elders of the Qilin Clan had their expressions change drastically and hurriedly led the Qilin Clan members to resist the offensive.

It was just that the Qilin Clan was secretly relocating a portion of their clansmen, and the remaining clansmen could only neutralize part of the offensive; the remaining offensive continued to fall upon the Innate Wutu Forbidden Array.

"The opportunity has come!"

Just at this moment, Li Zhangsheng's heart stirred. His figure suddenly disappeared, and when he reappeared, he was abruptly at the northwest position of the Innate Wutu Forbidden Array. The God-Slaying Spear, carrying an endless fierce and baleful aura, fiercely pierced into the fleeting flaw.

Pop~

Like a stone falling onto a calm lake surface, the earth-yellow light screen formed by the Innate Wutu Forbidden Array immediately rippled in layers, and then, like dominoes being pushed over, it rapidly showed a trend of collapse.

"It's over!"

The Qilin Clan members all revealed ashen faces. How could they have imagined that the Qilin Clan's forbidden array, which had stood for tens of thousands of years, would be broken so easily? It severely struck their self-confidence.

Seeing the Qilins' fighting spirit drop significantly, the Kui Water Qilin Elder hurriedly shouted: "Think of our offspring! They need some time; we must stop them!"

In just this little bit of time, those underage Qilins had at most only managed to organize the Qilin Clan's precious resources and had not yet left.

Under such circumstances, those Qilins with offspring were invigorated, while the Qilins without offspring still had low morale; after all, they were abandoned pawns, and crucially, they had no descendants to pin their thoughts on.

Yet just at this moment, Li Zhangsheng's voice rang out: "Except for the ringleaders and those who resist stubbornly, those who surrender will not be killed, in the name of the Lord of the Heavenly Realm!"

With just this one sentence, it immediately disintegrated the thoughts of resistance for the majority of the Qilin Clan.

These Qilins who had lived for thousands upon thousands of years were high and proud, but they were also afraid of death. Crucially, Li Zhangsheng was using the name of the Lord of the Heavenly Realm.

As for how Li Zhangsheng would treat them after they surrendered, if they felt they couldn't bear it, they could just commit suicide then.

"You..."

The Fire Qilin Elder looked at the Qilins preparing to surrender in disbelief, only feeling a wave of discomfort in his heart; he even had the thought of killing them.

Suddenly, several figures appeared at ghost-like speeds around the Fire Qilin Elder, launching an offensive against him.

The Fire Qilin Elder was taken aback and subconsciously wanted to counterattack. Suddenly, the void above his head shattered, and a massive Dragon Claw slapped down at an unimaginable speed.

Before the Fire Qilin Elder could react, the Dragon Claw fiercely slapped his head, smashing him until he saw stars and blood flowed, and under the massive force, he fell from the sky.

Aixi, Kailan, Kunpeng, and the Three-Legged Golden Crow, who had originally been surrounding the Fire Qilin Elder, dropped a short distance ahead of time, then launched an offensive toward the falling Fire Qilin Elder.

Sizzle~ Clatter~ Boom~

Under the combined force of the five Demon Pets, the Fire Qilin Elder only had time to let out a miserable shriek before he had completely breathed his last before even falling to the ground.
