"What is this?"
Seeing the Bodhi fruit encircled by flames emerge from Ye Yun's hand, the people of Tian Yu were greatly surprised.
"This is a Fire Bodhi."
"Fire Bodhi? Impossible! Our secret realm only has Water Bodhi, and we've never heard of a Fire Bodhi. Don't try to deceive us."
"Your horizons are too narrow. This Fire Bodhi was nurtured by me using the Bodhi Root. I intend to give it to my friend."
"Hahaha, I think you should give up on giving it to your friend. Hand over both the Fire Bodhi and the Bodhi Root to me!"
The Lord of Tianlan Star let out a wild laugh, and his colossal waves surged, stirring up wind and clouds once more.
"Do you want it badly? Then you'll have to ask my friend if she wants to give it to you."
Ye Yun turned to Song Ziyue and directly tossed the Fire Bodhi into her hand.
"Miss Song, by devouring this Fire Bodhi, I believe you should be able to unseal your cultivation, and perhaps even your memories."
"Alright."
In this critical moment, Song Ziyue did not hesitate. She directly swallowed the Fire Bodhi.
Instantly, Song Ziyue felt flames burning all over her body, and her mind became a chaotic mess.
"I never expected you, you scoundrel, to possess so many treasures. It seems you've gained immense benefits from our Tianlan Secret Realm, and you even tried to conceal them. Then you are an enemy of our Tianlan Domain! Ye Yun, today, the entire Tian Yu will be annihilated!"
Behind the Lord of Tianlan Star, colossal waves surged again, transforming into countless water blades, all aimed at Ye Yun simultaneously.
"What excuse is too much for a crime? Lord of Tianlan Star, your talent is mediocre. Even with your cultivation as an Extreme God, it's not enough for this."
"You dare disrespect me? Die!"
The Lord of Tianlan Star's rage erupted. The endless water blades, like raindrops, attacked Ye Yun together.
But at this moment, Song Ziyue, standing behind Ye Yun, her eyes released a fiery glow. A hidden mark on her brow gradually materialized, revealing a phoenix form.
"Ah!"
With a sky-shattering cry, Song Ziyue was enveloped in flames, her body gradually rising into the air.
Behind her, a phoenix reborn from the flames soared, its flames reaching the heavens, shaking the entire scene.
"What is that?"
Elder Li and the others felt Song Ziyue's cultivation rapidly ascending, increasing in an incredibly unscientific manner.
"Hmm?"
Even the arrogant Lord of Tianlan Star trembled at this moment. He observed carefully, sensing Song Ziyue's condition, and discovered that her cultivation had now broken through to the God level.
Early Stage Lower God!
Late Stage Lower God!
Peak Lower God!
...
Mid God!
High God!
...
Such a terrifying rate of cultivation increase shocked everyone present, even Ye Yun.
Ye Yun hadn't expected the Fire Bodhi to be so effective, perfectly compatible with Song Ziyue's physique, allowing her previously sealed cultivation to erupt.
"Extreme God!"
Finally, the Lord of Tianlan Star exclaimed in shock, as he sensed Song Ziyue's cultivation had broken through to Extreme God.
Moreover, Song Ziyue's talent far surpassed that of the Lord of Tianlan Star. Was this what Ye Yun had meant by "not necessarily"?
At this point, the Lord of Tianlan Star finally understood the true terror of Ye Yun. Everything was within his calculations, and no one could fathom the depth of his mind!
"Lord of Tianlan Star, it's not just you who is an Extreme God anymore."
"You scoundrel, what exactly is this Fire Bodhi? Tell me, or I'll turn you into ashes!"
"Alas, truly stubborn. As I said before, if you want the Fire Bodhi, you'll have to ask Miss Song here."
Ye Yun made a "please" gesture. Song Ziyue, enveloped in flames and appearing like a descending fire god, slowly walked towards the Lord of Tianlan Star.
"Lord of Tianlan Star, if you dare to harm anyone from Tian Yu, I will annihilate your entire Tianlan Domain!"
"Who do you think you are? You've only just ascended to Extreme God, your foundation is unstable, you are no match for me."
"Self-deception only reveals your stupidity. Immediately bring your people and apologize to Ye Yun, otherwise, we will show no mercy!"
Having regained her Extreme God cultivation, Song Ziyue's eyes were cold, her entire demeanor transformed, like a supreme empress. Facing the Lord of Tianlan Star, she was equally icy and proud, inspiring awe.
"We are both Extreme Gods. You want to command me? Hahaha, that's truly laughable."
"Although we are both Extreme Gods, the gap in our talent is immense, and our strength is worlds apart. Lord of Tianlan Star, you truly lack self-awareness."
A trace of cold, merciless killing intent appeared in Song Ziyue's eyes.
For a long time, her cultivation had been sealed, and she had followed Ye Yun. Now, the Lord of Tianlan Star wanted to kill Ye Yun and destroy the entire Tian Yu. This was a transgression of her bottom line.
As Ye Yun's friend, she had to retaliate.
"Immense Waves - Endless Water Blades!"
Suddenly, the Lord of Tianlan Star launched a surprise attack, and countless water blades shot directly at Song Ziyue.
"Miss Song, be careful!"
Xing Meng shouted a warning, but Song Ziyue's body did not move at all.
Ye Yun's eyes narrowed. He immediately saw that Song Ziyue's current strength was vastly different from before. The Lord of Tianlan Star's surprise attack was nothing in her eyes.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"
Indeed, an endless ring of flames suddenly appeared around Song Ziyue. These flames rotated continuously, and any water blade that touched them was instantly incinerated, rendering them completely ineffective.
"What?"
The Lord of Tianlan Star showed a look of shock. He now needed to seriously consider Song Ziyue's earlier words: even if they were both Extreme Gods, different talents would lead to a world of difference in strength.
At this moment, the fiery phoenix behind Song Ziyue let out a cry, and the surrounding space instantly plunged into a sea of fire.
The power of the sea of fire expanded rapidly. The Lord of Tianlan Star's great river waves were no match for it and began to shrink rapidly.
"How is this possible? The Star Lord's power is being devoured and crushed!"
"What attribute is this flame? It's too powerful!"
"This is a divine power transformed into an exotic flame. Song Ziyue is too strong."
Elder Li and the other elders' eyes widened, their faces stiff. The situation had completely reversed.
Tian Yu had produced an Extreme God with extraordinary talent, even showing signs of suppressing the Lord of Tianlan Star. They dared not imagine the terrifying consequences they would face if the Lord of Tianlan Star were to fail.
"Lord Star Lord, why don't we let the people of Tian Yu leave?"
"You group of useless people! Ye Yun took all the Water Bodhi, and he even possesses something like the Bodhi Root, which seems to be able to nurture all sorts of Bodhi fruits. Such a treasure, can we just let him go?"
"This..."
Elder Li and the others were in a difficult position. They were completely ineffective in battles at the Extreme God level, their talent severely limiting their potential.
Even Elder Li, as a High God, could acutely feel that in front of Song Ziyue, he wouldn't last even one round.
"I will deal with Song Ziyue. You immediately capture Ye Yun!"
