Chapter 941: Crushing the Phoenix Emperor

“It’s over, it’s over, it’s over…”

“The Wu clan has arrived!”

“He Pingsheng has come too!”

“Our Feng clan… is finished…”

Thud…

The massive body of the Feng Emperor thudded back onto his cushion.

“Boss!”

“Big Brother!”

“Don’t panic!” said the Seventh Elder. “We still have the Second Ancestor… he’s a Transcendent Immortal—why fear He Pingsheng?”

“Huff…” The Feng Emperor took a deep breath. “Don’t forget—when our Ancestor went after He Pingsheng, he lost tens of thousands of years of life and still failed to kill him.”

“Back then, He Pingsheng was only in the early stage of Body Integration!”

“Now he’s reached Mahayana Emperor Realm!”

“Are you certain the Second Ancestor can kill him?”

The Feng Emperor, seated on the ground, stared at the Seventh Elder.

The Seventh Elder’s face darkened: Yes…

“Then… what do we do?” The Seventh Elder had no idea.

The Feng Emperor swallowed several times, his face pale. “Listen to my orders!”

“First, notify the Second Ancestor to prepare!”

“Second, activate every defensive array in the clan!”

“Third, I’m going to the Dragon Clan!”

“Allied with the Dragon Clan now, we might still have a sliver of hope—they have two ancient relics too!”

The Seventh Elder said: “But the Dragon Clan has no grudge against He Pingsheng—they have no reason to get involved now…”

“No!” said the Feng Emperor. “When we conspired to seal He Pingsheng in that small world, the Dragon Clan shares the blame!”

“You don’t need to worry about that!”

“Go… arrange the clan members!”

“Also, release Luo Bingyao’s clone immediately!”

“Keeping her is useless!”

“Enough. All of you, leave!”

The Feng Emperor waved his hand.

The Seventh Elder and the Female Elder hurriedly withdrew.

In an instant, the Feng Emperor’s cultivation hall was empty.

He closed his eyes, pondered for a moment, then opened them again—resolved, he reached out to tear open the void and depart.

But the next moment, the Feng Emperor froze in terror—the void here could not be torn.

This…

This…

Has someone sealed off our Feng clan?

In panic, his profound spiritual sense erupted from his soul sea, sweeping across all directions.

Soon he discovered one problem.

On a peak roughly one hundred thousand li from the Feng clan stood a golden divine banner.

The Time-Space Golden Banner was unfurled, a thousand zhang wide.

Waves of Emperor aura and spatial laws descended from the banner.

Guarding the banner was only Luo Bingyao, a Mahayana Emperor Realm Stage One cultivator.

“This…” The Feng Emperor muttered, voice trembling. “Luo Bingyao has arrived—He Pingsheng can’t be far… no no no… he might already be inside the city, watching our every move!”

“No…”

“I must get out!”

“Only by escaping can I survive!”

Thinking this, the Feng Emperor immediately activated a secret technique to alter his appearance, then walked out of his palace on foot.

He flew from the palace, dodging and hiding through the Feng clan’s outer array, finally reaching the outside of the Immortal Volcano.

Once beyond the array, he transformed into a streak of light and flew toward the opposite direction of the [Time-Space Golden Banner].

After flying a hundred thousand li, he reached out—ripping the void with a sharp sound.

The next instant, he stepped into the rift.

Emerging from the rift, the Feng Emperor exhaled deeply in relief.

This was no longer Tianhuo Continent.

This was Xuanbing Continent.

Before him stretched endless wilderness!

Vast, boundless, snow-covered white.

In the void, ferocious cold winds howled, swirling eternal snowstorms through the air.

“Perfect place!”

The Feng Emperor muttered, then shot upward to the peak of a nearby snow mountain.

He did not go to the Dragon Clan. Instead, he sat cross-legged in midair atop the peak, looked upward, and pulled out an elixir.

[Feixian Elixir].

“Though not a Transcendence Platform from Tianwang Mountain, it will do!”

“The Immortal Realm will be troublesome—but only a little.”

“Better than dying!”

“Ancestors Liezu and Liezong!” the Feng Emperor murmured to the void. “I have no choice… I’m not abandoning the Feng clan—I simply cannot face He Pingsheng!”

“I can only ascend to escape disaster!”

The Feng Emperor imitated the Empty Demon Emperor.

Without hesitation, he opened his mouth and swallowed the Feixian Elixir.

Wait.

Now came the Tribulation.

But the Feng Emperor waited ten breaths—and the void remained silent.

Where was the heavenly thunder?

What’s going on?

“I… did I… fail?”

The Feng Emperor nearly spat blood.

He’d planned to escape disaster through ascension—only to fail.

Ascension tribulation differs from other heavenly tribulations.

For example, if you fail the Mahayana Emperor Realm tribulation, you simply swallow another [Great Destiny Elixir].

But ascension tribulation is different!

If you fail the first time after swallowing the Feixian Elixir, you must wait.

At least decades—or even a century—before attempting again.

Because the Feixian Elixir contains a special ingredient; its aura lingers in your body for decades.

Only after the aura dissipates can you attempt ascension again.

“Damn… fucking hell…”

“I’ll have to hide for now!”

“Wait until the time comes, then try again!”

The Feng Emperor turned to leave.

But the next instant, he suddenly saw a figure appear in the void.

Yes!

It appeared without warning.

He Pingsheng!

“You… He Pingsheng?”

The Feng Emperor trembled, instantly raising his hand to tear open the void and flee.

But as soon as he moved, he could not tear the void at all.

Above He Pingsheng’s head hovered a colossal golden banner, swaying in the icy wind and snow.

Within a hundred thousand li, the rules of space were sealed.

“How did you find me?” The Feng Emperor stared at He Pingsheng in terror.

He Pingsheng said nothing.

He merely waved his hand, pulling out the purple-red staff.

Whoosh…

The staff instantly transformed into a black poison spike.

The poison spike flickered in and out of sight as it sped through the snowstorm, piercing toward Feng Di.

Feng Di tried to evade using his own speed.

Unfortunately, when he attempted to take flight, he found time around him frozen solid.

He could not fly.

After He Pingsheng froze Feng Di with his Time Paralysis technique, he released the freeze in an instant.

Why?

Because if he kept it frozen, his poison spike could not enter the region where time was halted.

Once released, the spike shot forward with a hiss and, faster than lightning can be seen, pierced through Feng Di’s massive body.

A thin red line of blood spilled down from the void.
