Chapter 408: Nirvana Technique

Performing the "Law of Heaven and Earth" divine ability consumes energy very rapidly. Hua Changxi could not wrestle with the ancient zither for a long time.

She discovered that when she used brute force to pull the ancient zither, the nine Nirvana Dao Wutong trees would all dissipate nine-colored light.

Then, the nine-colored light turned into nine nine-colored chains, surging towards the ancient zither, hooking it tightly and firmly fixing it in the void. No matter how she exerted force, the zither body remained motionless.

Discovering this, Hua Changxi stopped shaking it in vain and instead invested part of her mind into controlling the fire laws in the Wutong Forest.

In an instant, the flames on the branches and leaves of all the Wutong trees in the forest, and even the fire-attribute energy wandering in the air, were forcibly extracted by her.

These energies frantically gathered and compressed, emitting brilliant fire light, and finally turned into a fire axe that was red all over and wrapped in flames.

The moment the fire axe took shape, Hua Changxi slashed down at the nearest chain without hesitation!

"Clang~"

The deafening sound of gold and iron clashing exploded!

Where the fire axe collided with the chain, dazzling light erupted.

The violent energy shock wave exploded in a ring, shaking the entire Wutong Forest, and radiated outwards at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Zheng~"

The next moment, the chain was cut off by the fire axe, causing the ancient zither to vibrate and emit a sharp cry, and an invisible sound wave expanded with the zither as the center.

This sound wave was invisible and qualityless, but it contained a terrifying power that struck the soul directly.

Outside the Wutong Forest, those cultivators who had thoughts of picking up leaks and muddying the waters were hit head-on by the sound wave. Those with weaker cultivation bled from the seven orifices on the spot, and those with stronger cultivation were also shaken by the blood, staggering backwards.

Hua Changxi, who was at the center of the battle, was not much better. The sound wave set off stormy waves in her sea of consciousness, and the blood in her body was also boiling.

She let out a muffled groan, blood overflowed from the corners of her mouth, and the smell of rust instantly filled her mouth.

However, her expression was spirited.

No other reason, the fire axe could really cut off the nine-colored chains.

However, the next moment, her brow furrowed again.

After the chain was cut off, the nine-colored light gathered again, forming new chains, but this time the chains formed were significantly thinner.

The fire axe slashed down again...

It took a full nine times before no new chains were formed.

Hua Changxi gasped for breath. She could feel that she couldn't maintain the "Law of Heaven and Earth" for long.

With one less chain, the stability of the ancient zither dropped significantly, and it began to sway slightly.

Hua Changxi seized the opportunity, poured all her remaining strength into her hands, and exerted force suddenly. Like splitting the chicken egg space of the Zhu Rong Tomb, she used all her strength to move the ancient zither, forcibly dragging it away from above the Nirvana Dao Wutong!

However, the moment the ancient zither broke away from the control of the chains, a sudden change occurred again!

"Cry~"

A Phoenix cry that pierced gold and cracked stone resounded through the sky, and the ancient zither erupted with dazzling red light.

On the zither body, fire patterns wandered like living things, finally gathering in the center of the zither strings. The next moment, a Phoenix bathed in fire broke out of the zither!

This fire Phoenix was not a physical entity, but condensed from nine-colored divine light and the charm of the ancient zither.

The fire Phoenix's eyes were like torches, its claws and teeth were sharp, and it carried the majesty of burning everything, rushing straight towards Hua Changxi.

The fire Phoenix appeared too suddenly and the distance was too close. Hua Changxi hadn't reacted yet before she was pierced through by the fire Phoenix.

"Boom~"

The "Law of Heaven and Earth" could no longer be supported, and Hua Changxi's body shrank rapidly. Even so, she didn't forget to hold the ancient zither tightly.

"Rip~"

Restoring her original body shape, Hua Changxi staggered a few steps. At the same time, her clothes split open, revealing flesh and blood, skin and flesh torn apart.

"Cry~"

High in the sky, the fire Phoenix circled, locked onto Hua Changxi again, and dived down.

Looking at the fire Phoenix attacking again, Hua Changxi's fighting soul was ignited. She directly used the ancient zither, which was vibrating and wanting to fly back above the Nirvana Dao Wutong, as a cushion and sat down. Then, with a "bang," flames bathed her body.

At this moment, she mobilized all the spiritual power in her body and at the same time ignited the bloodline power.

Qi and blood surged, and a shimmering Zhu Que manifested.

Immediately after, a cry that was even louder and more majestic than the Phoenix cry just now sounded...

The shimmering Zhu Que flew out of Hua Changxi's body. The moment it appeared, the temperature of the entire Wutong Forest soared, and the fire elements in the air frantically gathered towards it.

The fire Phoenix dived down, and the Zhu Que soared up.

"Boom~"

The collision of flames and flames triggered a destructive impact, and the dazzling light instantly swallowed everything.

The cultivators outside the Wutong Forest were all blinded by the light.

When the light disappeared and the world returned to clarity, when everyone opened their eyes, the Wutong Forest had returned to calm.

"Is it over?"

Outside the Wutong Forest, the cultivators from all sides were still unsatisfied. It was not often that they could see a battle of that level.

"What is the result?"

"Did the Lingguang Hall Master take down the ancient zither?"

Regarding the outcome of the battle just now, the cultivators were very concerned. Some impatient cultivators wished they could rush into the Wutong Forest to see clearly.

In the depths of the Wutong Forest, Hua Changxi lay on the layers of Wutong leaves. In the air, there were still leaves falling.

She slowly opened her eyes. Deep in her pupils, the scene of the Zhu Que and the fire Phoenix colliding head-on just now was still flashing.

The Zhu Que was unstoppable and terrifying. The moment it met the fire Phoenix, it disintegrated and fell apart, turning into golden-red runes and scattering.

All those runes sank into her brow, flooded into her sea of consciousness, and gathered into the ultimate mystery inheritance of the Phoenix bloodline—Nirvana Technique.

After obtaining the "Nirvana Technique," the Nine Heavens Phoenix Singing Zither automatically recognized its master and fell into her arms.

In an instant, her divine sense connected with the entire Wutong Forest.

She felt the residual will of countless Zhu Que soldiers who had practiced here, the arrogance of looking down on the world, the compassion of protecting the common people, the persistence of seeking the Dao without regret... The huge information flow impacted her soul, carrying a heavy responsibility and entrustment.

After a period of time, Hua Changxi rubbed her throbbing forehead and sat up, looking at the ancient zither in her arms, and gently stroked the strings.

The zither sound vibrated, its sound was distant, and it actually produced a mysterious resonance with the bloodline power in her body.

She felt that she had no more barriers with this world. The billions of branches and leaves of the Wutong Forest moved without wind, emitting a joyful rustling sound, as if every Wutong tree was expressing joy and submission to her.

Hua Changxi's mind moved slightly, and the flames burning in the forest rose and fell gently; wherever her mind went, the Wutong trees gave way to her.

At this moment, she seemed to have become the incarnation of the will of the Wutong Forest, having a sense of water-and-milk integration and control over this world.

"Look, the space cracks are disappearing."

Outside the Wutong Forest, the cultivators saw a soft light curtain spreading from the center of the Wutong Forest.

Wherever the light curtain passed, the area outside the Wutong Forest filled with hideous space cracks melted rapidly like ice and snow meeting the sun. Finally, all the space cracks disappeared completely.

The Wutong Forest barrier was generated again, and that magnificent world of flames disappeared from everyone's sight.

"Buzz~"

In the crowd, Yun You found that the Mind Link was vibrating and immediately picked it up to look.

Hall Master: "Recruit people, enter the Wutong Forest to mine!" ===== CHAPTER 409 =====
