As the killing blow descended, King Zijing's expression drastically changed. He immediately unleashed an Emperor-grade immortal treasure and hurled it towards Lei Yuan. The battle between these two top-tier Quasi-Emperors instantly propelled the battle of Danxue Mountain to a mini-climax.
"Boom!"
In the void, Lei Yuan and King Zijing fought from the heavens to the earth, then pierced through space itself and entered the void beyond. Lei Yuan, a Quasi-Emperor of the Phoenix clan, whose combat power was second only to Kong Xuan and Yu Yi in history, wielded a thunderous axe. With every swing, he commanded all the multi-colored divine thunder that had ever appeared in the immortal domain, suppressing the veteran Quasi-Emperor of Wushan Immortal Court, King Zijing, with an invincible demeanor.
King Zijing, once hailed as the foremost figure beneath the Immortal Emperors, had his undefeated title snatched away by the sudden emergence of Kong Xuan. Millennia later, he encountered the impetuous Yu Yi and was defeated once more. Although he had fallen to the Phoenix clan twice, it was common knowledge that King Zijing was no ordinary individual. Even after such a long time, no one knew how much his strength had improved. Yet, in the void, the formidable Lei Yuan was once again completely suppressing the veteran powerhouse, King Zijing.
Gazing at the two battling in the void, the surrounding Quasi-Emperor powerhouses were all shocked. Even the Immortal Emperors, who remained hidden in the void, looked at Lei Yuan, who was fighting King Zijing, with immense astonishment.
"The Phoenix clan truly possesses great fortune!"
"Another peerless Quasi-Emperor powerhouse!"
The killing power unleashed by Lei Yuan in the void had indeed shocked countless beings. Due to Kong Xuan and Yu Yi, the world was unaware that the Phoenix clan harbored another peerless Quasi-Emperor, one who was no less powerful than those two. Huo Luo, who possessed the qualification to become an Immortal Emperor, had now returned from the extreme regions. The bloodline of Emperor Taixu and Emperor Shiyuan was indeed incomparably potent.
"Kill!"
Lei Yuan roared, and a deafening sound echoed through the void. The crimson barrier surrounding King Zijing was split open by Lei Yuan's axe, striking him directly in the chest. He was sent flying through the void. King Zijing hastily retracted the barrier around him, transforming it into a long spear and plunging it into the void, only then halting his backward momentum.
"Pfft!"
A mouthful of blood emerged, and King Zijing's expression finally recovered. None of the nine Quasi-Emperors of the Phoenix clan were merely renowned. Looking at the defiant man before him, who wielded a thunderous axe and controlled the ten directions of lightning, his hand gripping the spear trembled slightly. Defeated by Kong Xuan, then by Yu Yi, and now, he, King Zijing, was once again outmatched by a being of the Phoenix clan. Was it possible that the Phoenix clan was naturally his bane?
"You are strong. While not comparable to Peacock Great Ming King, you are not far from the Golden-Winged Great Peng Bird!"
"King Zijing!"
Lei Yuan looked at the figure and disdainfully raised his head, "The former foremost figure beneath the Immortal Emperors is nothing more than this!"
"You!"
"Pfft!"
King Zijing was extremely prideful. Lei Yuan's words were like a dagger to his heart, causing him to spit out a mouthful of angry blood.
"Boom!"
"Clad in five colors, crowned by the Great Dao!"
"Clad in five colors, crowned by the Great Dao!"
"Clad in five colors, crowned by the Great Dao!"
Just as King Zijing was about to make a move, a portal suddenly opened in the northern void of Danxue Mountain. Multi-colored light cascaded over every corner of Danxue Mountain, and resonant cries announced the arrival of a powerful faction.
"Great Dao Palace!"
"The Wild Bird lineage!"
In the distant void, a Quasi-Emperor realm being trembled and exclaimed as they saw the multi-colored portal and heard the roars.
"The army of the Great Dao Palace has finally arrived."
What caused the beings to tremble with fear was naturally the Wild Bird lineage, which also belonged to the Phoenix clan, carrying the bloodline of the Phoenix Ancestor.
The Wild Bird, clad in five-colored wings, was a being conceived by the Phoenix Ancestor. Clad in five colors and adorned with a crown, a name was directly bestowed upon it as Wild Bird, as no such bloodline had appeared in existence before. Legend had it that the Phoenix Ancestor intended to pass the authority of the Phoenix clan to the Wild Bird, but unforeseen events occurred.
Since the end of the Underworld Sea era and the beginning of the Era of Emperors, the Wild Bird lineage had been frequently active in the immortal domain. After the emergence of Emperor Taixu and Emperor Shiyuan, a powerful being from the Wild Bird lineage founded the Great Dao Palace and vied with Emperor Taixu and Emperor Shiyuan for the main lineage of the Phoenix clan. In the eyes of the various forces in the immortal domain, the fusion of Danxue Mountain and the Great Dao Palace would further highlight the immense power of the Phoenix lineage.
Perhaps this was also a means of retribution by the Great Dao. How could such a peerlessly powerful bloodline dominate the immortal domain with invincible might!
"Boom!"
With resounding roars, a five-million-strong iron-blooded army emerged from the multi-colored portal. Five-colored divine light paved the way as the massive legion shattered the void of Danxue Mountain.
At the forefront of this five-million-strong army walked a single Quasi-Emperor realm being on horseback. This Quasi-Emperor was a middle-aged man with narrow eyes. His multi-colored armor shimmered with traces of imperial might. The moment his narrow eyes appeared in the sight of the beings, their hearts tightened involuntarily.
"The foremost general under the Great Dao Palace!"
"King Hao Ze!"
At the northern end of Danxue Mountain, an elder gazed at the narrow pupils and exclaimed, retreating three steps in shock.
"The leader of the Great Dao Palace's Quasi-Emperor realm!"
"He holds the power of destruction for the Great Dao Palace on behalf of Immortal Emperor Kuang Shen!"
"A powerhouse who once made even the newly ascended Yu Yi temporarily avoid his sharp edge!"
Looking at the middle-aged man in five-colored armor who appeared in the void, Lei Yuan, Jin Ling, and Huo Luo, who were not far away, became tense.
"Danxue Mountain!"
King Hao Ze looked at this place, a symbol of the Phoenix clan's honor. He said softly, "Danxue Mountain, how desirable. However, from today onwards, this mountain will belong to my Wild Bird lineage!"
"Your branch has occupied Danxue Mountain for far too long. It is time for my Wild Bird lineage to take its place. Rest assured, this King will not be ruthless. After all, our two clans share the same blood."
"Hmm?"
King Hao Ze's gaze instantly locked onto Yang Ying in the depths of Danxue Mountain, his narrow pupils flickering rapidly.
"True Phoenix bloodline, tsk tsk tsk!"
"What a powerful bloodline. Today, this King will extract this supremely honored bloodline on behalf of the Immortal Emperor!"
"King Hao Ze, how dare you act so presumptuously before me!"
At this moment, a voice echoed from the depths of Danxue Mountain.
King Hao Ze's expression instantly changed as he looked in the direction of the voice. He heard a voice say.
