Chapter 161: Standing Ground to Become a Saint!

"Is this the senior you were talking about?" Zhang Kun couldn't help but gape.

The terrifying aura radiating from the woman's body almost made it hard for him to breathe, yet her appearance looked extremely young.

Chen Fan was likewise somewhat unable to believe it; this woman looked only to be in her thirties, her long silver hair paired with a suit of silver battle armor making her look heroic and spirited. No matter how he looked at it, she didn't resemble the dormitory manager from Dormitory Building No. 5.

But from her facial features, Chen Fan could still vaguely discern the appearance of that manager.

"It should be her," Chen Fan said, somewhat uncertainly.

At this moment, this woman stepped through the fire, closing in on the Snake Venerable step by step.

Her appearance immediately startled the Snake Venerable.

The Snake Venerable's gaze was fixed firmly on the woman before him, his face beneath the mask filled with deep vigilance.

"Who are you?!!"

"Who I am is not important. Hand the phoenix corpse over to me, otherwise, I shall slay you today!" The woman's voice carried an incomparable aura.

The Huntian Battle Halberd in her hand surged with scorching flames; clearly, she was fully prepared for battle.

"Impossible! I advise you to retreat obediently. There is no good end to becoming an enemy of my Beast Worship Cult!" The Snake Venerable glared with rage.

"Since that is the case, then I shall take it myself!" the woman said coldly. The next moment, a giant hand condensed from flames reached toward the phoenix corpse on the altar.

"You dare!!" the Snake Venerable roared. Blood-colored runes on the altar condensed into massive energy, attempting to block this giant hand.

However, it was swatted away by her with a casual wave!

"Destroying my cult's ritual, you deserve to die!" the Snake Venerable's voice was hoarse.

He let out a loud shout, and dozens of terrifying rock demons crawled out from underground, pouncing toward the woman.

"Even as quasi-martial saints, there is still a gap in strength," the woman said softly. The next moment, the two-meter-long Huntian Battle Halberd was swung by her, and all the rock demons approaching her were slashed to nothing in a single strike.

"Since you are courting death, then I shall send you to your end." The woman shook her head lightly. The sea of fire behind her was instantly absorbed by the battle halberd in her hand, and the next moment, a blade of flame energy slashed across the air.

The top of this underground space was split in two, the earth collapsed, and the entire Fengming Mountain was teetering on the brink of destruction.

The blade energy was terrifying and invincible, heading straight for the Snake Venerable.

"You deserve to die!" the Snake Venerable's voice was hoarse.

"In my name, I grant you life! Phoenix Nirvana!" At this moment, he could no longer care about much else; if he didn't explode with full power now, he might lose his life here today!

He reached out and clawed at the void, and the phoenix corpse on the altar suddenly opened its eyes.

A massive aura of a strange beast covered the surroundings, followed immediately by a high-pitched phoenix cry that resounded through heaven and earth, and a massive phoenix figure soared into the air.

At this moment, this phoenix had come alive!

"Today, no matter who you are, you must die for me!" The Snake Venerable controlled this phoenix to kill the silver-haired woman.

The silver-haired woman was not alarmed but delighted, taking the initiative to engage in battle.

The person and the phoenix fought into a ball, and this underground space collapsed completely.

Zhang Kun grabbed Chen Fan's shoulder and rushed toward the outside of the cave.

After the two arrived on the ground, Chen Fan looked at the great battle in the distance, his jaw almost dropping.

A living phoenix was actually right before his eyes.

"This should have been granted a brief life; it's not a true resurrection!" Zhang Kun analyzed from the side.

"That's still very powerful. The Ghost Envoy ability is just too perverted." Chen Fan's heart was pounding; he was somewhat worried that the silver-haired woman was no match for the Snake Venerable.

"Otherwise, how could it be rated as SS-rank!" Zhang Kun was also somewhat nervous.

"But that woman is no pushover either. Her ability seems to be the legendary SS-rank ability, the Yanyang Sacred Body."

At this time, the Snake Venerable was fighting many with one, controlling the phoenix corpse to battle the silver-haired woman while simultaneously controlling rock demons to kill the four people including Huangfu Cheng.

"They are all fighting, what should we do?" Chen Fan looked at Zhang Kun and asked.

Zhang Kun waved his hand, looked at the Beast Worship Cult members hiding in the distance quietly observing the battlefield, and said, "You hide yourself, I'm going to deal with this scum."

Zhang Kun left with his sword, while Chen Fan hid behind a giant rock to watch the terrifying battle in mid-air.

"When will I have this kind of strength?" Chen Fan was extremely envious.

Once ability users enter the 8th rank, they can travel through the air, and the silver-haired woman in the air was flying while battling that phoenix.

The two types of flame energy in the air collided, and the sparks that splashed out were enough to burn through the earth.

Of the two flames in the air, one was the blood-red flame produced by the Yanyang Sacred Body, and the other was the golden phoenix divine flame. The two colors of flames fought together, and the scene was extremely spectacular.

The silver-haired woman's strength was indeed terrifying; relying on the Yanyang Sacred Body to clash with an ancient divine beast, she not only did not fall behind but was even vaguely suppressing it.

After the battle had lasted for ten minutes, the silver-haired woman had completely taken the upper hand.

A casual slash of the Huntian Battle Halberd could carve a giant crack over a hundred meters long into the ground.

"Forget it, forget it! Since that's the case, I don't need the remaining phoenix blood!" The Snake Venerable sighed. The next moment, the residual essence blood within the phoenix in the air began to boil.

As the phoenix blood burned, the strength of this phoenix began to surge, and raging flames burned upon its golden feathers.

Its aura was infinitely close to the 9th rank!

"Kill her for me!" Following the Snake Venerable's loud shout, a sea of golden fire spewed from the phoenix's mouth.

In the air, the blood-red flames radiated by the Yanyang Sacred Body were completely suppressed by the golden sea of fire!

The silver-haired woman was repelled, flying backward for over a thousand meters!

"Becoming an enemy of my Beast Worship Cult is the most foolish decision you've ever made in your life! Hahaha!" The Snake Venerable let out bursts of strange laughter.

At this moment, in his eyes, the outcome was already set.

Chen Fan, watching from the sidelines, was even more nervous. If the silver-haired woman lost, not one of their group would be able to return alive.

"Come on," Chen Fan prayed silently in his heart.

If he had a blessing card in his hand right now, he would definitely use one on the silver-haired woman in the air. Alas, he did not!

The silver-haired woman had been completely suppressed, and in just a short moment, she was in precarious danger.

However, there was not a trace of alarm or panic on her face, because she had been waiting for this very moment.

"Martial Saint realm, here I come!" A faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, and she actually took the initiative to disperse her own flames.

The phoenix in the air continued to spew phoenix divine flames madly, determined to refine the human before it into ashes alive.

The golden flames began to burn the silver-haired woman's body, but she remained completely unmoved.

"Why isn't she resisting?!" Everyone present voiced their confusion.

The Snake Venerable finally realized something at this moment, his expression changing wildly.

"Withdraw the phoenix divine flame, quickly!" He hurriedly ordered the phoenix corpse in the air.

"It's already too late," the woman hummed coldly.

"Observing its actions, comprehending its intent, thank you for lending me a hand!"

"Standing Ground to Become a Saint!"

The next moment, an aura more than ten times more massive than before radiated from the woman's body.

Her body slowly rose into the air, and a figure identical to herself appeared behind her.

It was just that this figure appeared in a semi-ethereal state, and it was incomparably huge, reaching a full hundred meters.

"This is the Dharma Manifestation of Heaven and Earth, she has achieved Martial Saint!" Huangfu Cheng and the others looked at the scene before them and exclaimed.

"Dharma Manifestation of Heaven and Earth?" Chen Fan also recognized this phenomenon.

It is said that the most significant characteristic distinguishing a Martial Saint from other ability users is the Dharma Manifestation of Heaven and Earth.

One can condense a Dharma body to fight, increasing combat power by a hundredfold! ===== CHAPTER 162 =====
