Chapter 226

Compared to the golden bull monster king's massive body, Fire Phoenix's petite figure looked like an ant. However, her roar was very confident and carried a huge pressure that was not at all inferior to it.

Seeing this, the golden bull monster king was first startled and took a few steps back. Then, reacting, it angrily stomped its hooves and turned into a golden light, charging rapidly at Fire Phoenix in mid-air. It seemed it hadn't really noticed that this tiny woman before it was a great monster king far more powerful than itself.

Seeing that the golden bull was not intimidated by her aura and had already launched an attack, Fire Phoenix in mid-air raised her hand, took out a five-colored feather fan, and fanned it gently at the golden bull.

The battlefield, which had been calm just a moment ago, suddenly became ravaged by a violent wind. The golden bull monster king had been charging at Fire Phoenix at an incredible speed, but after being blocked by this violent wind, it slowed down significantly. By the time it charged through the wind to where Fire Phoenix had just been, she had already changed her position in the air.

Seeing that its attack had missed, the golden bull monster king turned its massive head and began to readjust its direction of attack.

Before long, the two huge golden horns on the golden bull monster king's head suddenly detached and turned into two sharp blades, rapidly piercing toward Fire Phoenix.

Fire Phoenix calmly dodged this thrilling attack, and then flicked the five-colored feather fan in her hand again, fanning the pair of horns several dozen zhang away.

After fanning away the golden bull monster king's horns, the five-colored feather fan in Fire Phoenix's hand fanned out a yellow, hazy gale again, which instantly enveloped the area around the golden bull monster king. For a time, flying sand and rocks obscured the surroundings, making it unable to see the movements nearby for the time being.

Immediately after, Fire Phoenix gritted her teeth. As she sat cross-legged, the magic power in her body began to surge, and a red spiritual light began to emerge from her body.

As the red light grew brighter, a trace of red fire began to rise from Fire Phoenix's body, like an inextinguishable red flame, burning endlessly.

"You ignorant thing!"

With a roar, the aura on Fire Phoenix's body instantly climbed by a large margin, and a trace of fresh blood began to overflow from her eyes.

Song Qingming, in the distance, saw Fire Phoenix at this moment and instantly felt that the pressure she was emitting had already exceeded that of an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator; she was clearly a true Golden Core True Person.

In just this short while, the golden bull monster king, trapped in the yellow wind, had broken free from the trouble caused by the gale and was retrieving its golden horns that had fallen not far away, preparing to launch another attack.

However, Fire Phoenix, who was already prepared, did not give it another chance. With a roar, Fire Phoenix, who was already extremely angry, turned directly into a huge red phoenix, carrying a red flame several dozen zhang long, and flew directly toward the golden bull monster king.

Seeing the huge commotion coming toward it in the sky, the golden bull monster king didn't think to dodge; it raised its pair of horns, wanting to take this attack head-on.

After a loud "bang," the red phoenix passed directly through the golden bull and landed on the ground, turning back into Fire Phoenix's human form.

And in the air not far behind her, about half of the golden giant bull's head had turned into pitch-black charcoal, and one of its horns had disappeared. Its entire massive body had lost all signs of life and was falling rapidly from high in the sky to the ground.

With another earth-shaking sound, the golden giant bull's massive body landed straight on the ground, creating a large crater and kicking up sky-filling dust.

Fire Phoenix, standing on the ground, covered her mouth and coughed a few times before quietly walking to the side of the golden bull monster king's corpse. She confirmed once more and found that this guy was already dead, which finally put her mind at ease.

"To think there was a Golden Core monster king stationed here, forcing me to use my true form to fight at all costs. The suppression power of this secret realm's interface is truly a headache."

Seeing that the golden bull monster king was no longer moving, Song Qingming also hurriedly rushed over from the distance to see if the battle was over.

As soon as he arrived, he saw Fire Phoenix spitting out a mouthful of blood, her face looking somewhat weak. Song Qingming hurriedly stepped forward, wanting to support her, but she suddenly waved her hand at him, stopping Song Qingming's action.

"I just forcibly used a secret technique and hurt my vitality a bit. It's nothing serious, you don't need to be too nervous!"

"Then should we rest here for a while?" Song Qingming asked with concern.

"It's fine! Let's go first. We don't have time to worry about other things. If we go late, with the character of your human race, we won't be able to get anything inside." Fire Phoenix squeezed out a smile and said softly to Song Qingming beside her.

In another valley several dozen miles away, Li Yungong looked heavy-faced as he tidied up the wound on his left waist, then swallowed two blue elixirs and began to refine the medicine on the spot.

Not far in front of him, a giant golden turtle was lying on its back on the ground with its four legs in the air. Around it were several other Carefree Sect disciples who were injured like Li Yungong and were healing, and two black-clad disciples were already lying on the ground, motionless.

"Junior Brother Li, let's go in first. If we go in late and someone else takes that spiritual item, it will all be in vain, and Junior Brother Zhang and the others will have sacrificed themselves for nothing." The elder surnamed Chen, who was leading the team, stepped forward and comforted him softly.

Li Yungong thought for a moment and nodded, "Senior Brother Chen is right. We really can't delay too long." As soon as the two finished speaking, with an order, the Carefree Sect disciples quickly regrouped.

Not long after, the Star Sect cultivators in another location had also dealt with the black giant python. Looking at the massive body that had been cut into several pieces on the ground, the expression on Liu Zongping's face was also very heavy. In this battle, four Star Sect members had died, and nearly ten were injured. It could truly be called a heavy loss.

Compared to these two sects, the Spirit Hidden Sect and other sect cultivators on the other side were having a much harder time. These people were still desperately using their means to fight their respective opponents, and for the time being, they had no ability to enter the interior.

The first to enter the depths of the Inner Valley were the Carefree Sect disciples. Once these people entered the depths of the Inner Valley, they were immediately stunned by the scene before them. This area, over ten miles across in the deepest part of the Inner Valley,

was filled with all kinds of spiritual items everywhere, instantly dazzling the Carefree Sect disciples who had arrived here for the first time. In their entire lives, except for the spiritual herb garden of the Carefree Sect, this was the first time they had seen so many mature spiritual items.

Ignoring those disciples who were already excitedly picking spiritual herbs, Li Yungong and the others, led by the elder surnamed Chen, headed straight for the side of a pool no more than six feet across in the middle of the deep valley.

After arriving there, looking at the empty pool, the elder surnamed Chen and Li Yungong and the others were instantly dumbfounded.

This... could it be that someone had already arrived first?
