Chapter 583: Winner Takes All, Survival of the Fittest

Tens of thousands of ancient Yin soldiers lined up, neat and uniform. Among these Yin soldiers, there were quite a few who formed legends and were passed down to later generations, which could be said to be powerful.

Later, they all became Zhu Tian's defeated opponents.

If Zhu Tian didn't have real skills, he wouldn't dare to declare himself emperor.

The phoenix turned from Nirvana True Fire had a temperature comparable to the sun. The Demon City was cast from metal, but the metal walls showed signs of melting under such a terrifying temperature, not to mention the cultivators below.

It was said that cultivators didn't avoid cold and heat, but if the temperature was so high, they could only resist with cultivation.

Those protected by elders were okay and could persist. If it was someone like Kong Hao who went to the Demon City alone, he could only run out of the Demon City and watch the battle from the periphery.

"Go!" Zhu Tian ordered. The Yin soldiers marched and set up formations, a black mass in the sky, carrying a terrifying and cold aura, pressing toward Jiang Lianyi.

"Explode." The Nirvana True Fire phoenix spread its wings and flew high, hot like the scorching sun, whistling and arriving, fast as lightning.

The two sides collided and bombarded, Yin and Yang intersected, forming a huge Tai Chi pattern in the air.

Then the Tai Chi pattern exploded, and the Nirvana True Fire phoenix turned into sparks, sprinkling the sky.

And more than half of the Yin soldiers remained.

Zhu Tian laughed when he saw this.

"Condense!" Jiang Lianyi remained unmoved, gave a light drink, and used the ability of the prototype of the Dao Fruit to control the Nirvana clone, re-condensing.

The Nirvana clone rushed into the Yin soldier army and exploded again.

"Condense!"

Zhu Tian was dumbfounded. He had never heard of anyone's clone exploding and re-condensing, and then exploding repeatedly!

Wait, this move seems a bit familiar. I encountered it in the ancient period. Who was it?

Lu Yang, who saw this scene, twitched his eyes. This move was indeed familiar. Wasn't this the Immortal Fairy's favorite way of fighting?

Without the prototype of the Immortal Dao Fruit, she just made do with controlling it with the prototype of the "Survival of the Fittest" Dao Fruit.

"It seems that although Lianyi has amnesia, she hasn't forgotten my teaching."

Boom—

The Nirvana clone exploded on Zhu Tian, setting off a cloud of smoke and dust, blowing Zhu Tian into a mess, and his wings were scorched.

Zhu Tian sang the Song of Spring, recovering his state before the next wave of attacks.

"Condense!"

The Nirvana clone re-condensed. Zhu Tian was ready. The Nirvana clone rushed to the front. Zhu Tian controlled space, formed a barrier, and blocked the next wave of explosions.

Suddenly, the space behind him fluctuated, and Jiang Lianyi shuttled through space and came behind him.

"Not good!"

A huge phoenix figure appeared behind Jiang Lianyi, and countless phantom images of birds and beasts appeared around, Vermilion Bird, Green Luan, Chongming, Bifang…

"Ten thousand birds worship! That is the legendary ten thousand birds worship!" A great demon below exclaimed.

"The Phoenix Ancestor subdued all birds, and ten thousand birds worshiped the Phoenix Ancestor as the monarch. That's why there is the saying in later generations that the Phoenix is the king of birds!"

The huge phoenix figure spread its wings, and ten thousand birds turned into feathers, becoming part of the phoenix.

The phoenix figure soared into the sky and swooped down. Zhu Tian looked up, like a phoenix bathed in fire rushing out of the sun, which was chilling.

Zhu Tian wanted to dodge, but everything around him suddenly slowed down, including himself.

"Space blockade… No, this is time stop!"

Zhu Tian was full of disbelief. He didn't expect Jiang Lianyi's prototype of the "Survival of the Fittest" Dao Fruit to even be able to stop time!

It turned out that she hadn't used her full strength from beginning to end!

Time stopped, and Zhu Tian lost the ability to perceive the outside world. When time flowed again, the phoenix figure was already at a distance that could not be avoided.

Boom—

The phoenix beak pierced through Zhu Tian's body, nailing him to the ground!

"What happened just now? Why did Zhu Tian suddenly stop moving?" Lu Yang was puzzled. Zhu Tian could have avoided the distance just now, but he was like being cast with a immobilization spell, not moving.

The Immortal Fairy saw the doorway: "It's not that he didn't move, it's that everyone didn't move within a breath of time. Lianyi controlled time and stopped time."

"With me here, you can see the whole process of the battle. To others, it seems that the phoenix figure suddenly jumped in front of Zhu Tian, and Zhu Tian was hit because he couldn't dodge in time."

"Time stop, Senior Lianyi can even do this kind of thing?!" Lu Yang was shocked.

"The 'playing dead' technique is to seek life through death, deceiving time. In a sense, it is defeating time, so she can stop time. However, this alternative way of defeating time is not the right path after all, so she can only stop it for one or two breaths of time."

"If it were the Time Immortal, stopping it for a thousand or eight hundred years would not be a problem."

In the battle between Half-Immortals, one or two breaths of time are enough to determine the outcome.

"As for why she didn't use it before, it's probably to hide her clumsiness. Exposing her hole cards in public is not a wise move. Not to mention anything else, look, has she used an immortal artifact from beginning to end?"

Lu Yang thought about it, and it was true. Senior Lianyi must have an immortal artifact refined by the Ying Ying Tian Immortal in her hand, but she didn't take it out to use, which already explained the problem.

"Winner takes all, Zhu Tian, are you convinced?" Jiang Lianyi turned into a human form, looking at Zhu Tian who was seriously injured on the ground, her voice cold.

Zhu Tian was dejected and also figured out the key. He was convinced by this battle. Even if it came again, the result would still be a loss.

"I admit defeat."

Jiang Lianyi didn't say much, put her index finger and middle finger together, tapped lightly on her forehead, urged the prototype of the Dao Fruit, formed a master-servant mark, and branded it on Zhu Tian.

Survival of the fittest, winner takes all—these were the principles both believed in, otherwise they wouldn't have condensed the prototype of the "Survival of the Fittest" Dao Fruit.

In the ancient period, Jiang Lianyi had defeated Zhu Tian, but at that time, the four immortals ruled the world, so there was no need to control Zhu Tian.

Today is different. If Zhu Tian is not controlled, he might play some tricks.

And Zhu Tian knew that she could stop time. This matter cannot be leaked.

"The matter of building the Demon Nation is beneficial to the demon clans. I will not stop it, and the Phoenix clan can also join the Demon Nation."

With the master-servant mark, Zhu Tian is the nominal ruler of the Demon Nation, and Jiang Lianyi is the real ruler of the Demon Nation.

"You act ostentatiously and show your sharp edge. If you continue like this, you will drag the demon clans into an abyss of eternal damnation."

Not to mention anything else, just Zhu Tian wanting to attack the Great Xia is a path to certain death.

Jiang Lianyi heard from the Immortal Fairy that the Great Xia has immortals, and there is more than one.

Zhu Tian was obviously unconvinced, but he was the loser, and he had to listen to whatever Jiang Lianyi said.

The smoke and dust dissipated. What everyone saw was Zhu Tian who fell and admitted defeat, and Jiang Lianyi who was the winner but still had a cold expression.

Due to the deterrent power of the two Half-Immortals, no one dared to approach.

"Senior Brother."

Jiang Lianyi walked toward Lu Yang and called out respectfully, Senior Brother. Everyone took the initiative to clear a path. Fortunately, Lu Yang was mentally prepared, his face was calm, and he nodded steadily, showing the style of a Young Sect Leader.

Lu Yang even walked in front, and Jiang Lianyi followed half a step behind, with clear primary and secondary positions.

Lu Yang glanced at Zhu Tian and said indifferently: "Let's go, the Demon Nation is nothing more than this."

The two walked out of the Demon City. In the awe-inspiring expressions of many great powers, the two disappeared out of thin air, mysterious and unpredictable.
