Chapter 1113: Chapter 343: Liberation (Part 2)
Seeing her expression, everyone was moved, and immediately understood that there was definitely a connection between Primordial Phoenix and this Demon Roc before them.
Unexpected by all.
Upon seeing Primordial Phoenix arrive, the Demon Roc immediately ceased its attack.
The Demon Roc actually transformed into human form, then stared blankly at Primordial Phoenix, with a hint of tears shimmering in its eyes.
This shocked everyone; witnessing the scene before them left them somewhat stunned.
Wasn’t this Demon Roc devoid of consciousness?
Why did he stop attacking upon seeing Primordial Phoenix?
The Ancestral Dragon revealed a knowing expression, and he sighed: “What a pity.”
Everyone’s gaze fell on the Ancestral Dragon, but the Ancestral Dragon said nothing more.
This was Primordial Phoenix’s private matter, and naturally, he could not speak of it.
Tears glimmered in Primordial Phoenix’s eyes as she walked towards the Demon Roc.
The Demon Roc’s body trembled violently, as if suppressing the urge to attack.
His gaze towards Primordial Phoenix also had a hint of warmth.
“Did Haotian do this to you?”
Primordial Phoenix’s hand caressed the Demon Roc’s cheek as she softly asked.
The Demon Roc did not speak; in this situation, not attacking was already his limit.
If not for his subconscious telling him that even if he died, he could not attack this woman before him, he could never have stopped.
Within the Demon Roc’s consciousness, there was only Tian Hao’s command to enter the Three Realms and kill everyone he saw.
“Is there any chance?”
Primordial Phoenix’s gaze fell upon the Ancestral Dragon, and she asked him.
Because at this moment, the Demon Roc’s ability to control his actions gave her a glimmer of hope.
Primordial Phoenix herself had no means and dared not be too certain, so she inquired of the Ancestral Dragon.
The Ancestral Dragon sighed, then said: “You actually know the answer in your heart.”
Primordial Phoenix let out a bitter smile.
She shook her head, her gaze landing on the Demon Roc’s face, her delicate hands gently caressing with utmost tenderness.
“Let me help you find release, don’t worry, I will avenge you. In this lifetime, Haotian will surely die.”
With that, a spark of fire emerged from Primordial Phoenix’s fingertip, landing on the Demon Roc.
The Ancestral Dragon sighed inwardly as he watched the flame engulf the Demon Roc.
The Demon Roc seemed to understand Primordial Phoenix’s words, not struggling in the slightest, and even a faint smile of relief appeared on his face.
Primordial Phoenix’s True Fire completely consumed the Demon Roc, quickly burning him to ashes, leaving nothing behind.
“My condolences.”
The Ancestral Dragon said.
Everyone’s eyes were filled with a trace of pity when they looked at Primordial Phoenix.
They also guessed the relationship between Primordial Phoenix and the Demon Roc—killing one’s beloved with one’s own hands is something difficult for any living being to bear, the extent of Primordial Phoenix’s anguish was imaginable.
Primordial Phoenix smiled faintly, saying: “I thought he had died long ago, but never expected he was still alive. Ultimately, I saw him one last time. I am already satisfied, this lifetime is without any other regrets.”
Everyone could see the glint of determination in Primordial Phoenix’s eyes.
Indeed, as she said, there are no more regrets in this lifetime.
However, her greatest goal this lifetime is likely to be to kill Haotian.
“Haha, useless as ever, couldn’t even accomplish this little task, died so easily.”
A mocking voice rang out, as not far from them, a shadow appeared.
It was Supreme Lord Tian Hao, the first expert of the Demon Realm.
His whole body was brimming with Demonic Qi, even as a shadow, he was quite terrifying, giving off an insurmountable feeling.
“Tian Hao, what is it you truly want to accomplish?”
The Ancestral Dragon frowned, asking Tian Hao.
He could not comprehend Tian Hao’s actions.
Let alone anything else, releasing Demon Roc only to kill some mortals was completely unnecessary.
Tian Hao had already completely controlled Demon Roc, if he had unleashed it during a great battle, it would have definitely been a powerful force.
Yet, he just wasted it directly.
“Just a mere puppet, suitable for a bit of entertainment for me. But I never expected the Demon Roc had a connection with Primordial Phoenix. Seems the Phoenix Clan is the descendants of both of them, though he’s quite infatuated. Even helping you bear offspring, he extracted his bloodline to help you create a purebred Phoenix Clan. Truly remarkable.”
Tian Hao said with a smile.
Primordial Phoenix remained calm, facing her foe without even a hint of anger.
Even with all those words from Tian Hao, he was unable to provoke him.
This caused Tian Hao’s expression to darken, and his gaze at the Primordial Phoenix was filled with malice.
He wanted to see the frustrated expressions of the Primordial Phoenix and others, but now it was entirely different from what he expected.
The Primordial Phoenix was very calm, even frighteningly so.
Her long and narrow phoenix eyes fixed on Tian Hao, and the extreme calm in her gaze sent a chill to Tian Hao’s heart.
This woman was truly angry, deeply hating him in her heart, yet she didn’t show the slightest trace outwardly.
Such hatred is the most terrifying.
“Heh, you must really want to kill me, but you can’t do it in this lifetime. Even if you kill me, I’m just an incarnation; you can’t kill my true form.”
Tian Hao said smugly.
Sun Wukong’s heart stirred, and he suddenly said, “Your true form is about to break through and step into the level of the Three Pure Ones.”
At these words, everyone was shocked.
If this were true, it would be the worst news they have heard.
Indeed, Tian Hao looked at Sun Wukong in surprise, then laughed, nodded, and said, “As expected from my disciple, so clever. I really shouldn’t have abandoned you back then. If I had your help, things would be much easier for me now.”
Everyone was alarmed.
Sun Wukong’s speculation was confirmed; this was definitely not the news they wanted to hear.
A Heavenly Emperor they might still be able to kill.
But how could they kill a strong one at the level of the Three Pure Ones?
They couldn’t even comprehend the power of someone at that level, nor did they know how terrifying they truly were.
“Today is just an appetizer. When my true form returns, you better prepare to tremble. The true Supreme of these Three Realms is me, Haotian. Not even the Three Pure Ones can do anything but grovel at my feet.”
At this moment, a Tai Chi Diagram emerged, directly enveloping Tian Hao’s phantom.
Tian Hao’s phantom exploded and vanished.
Lord Taishang had taken action, obviously fed up with such arrogance.
Sun Wukong and the others looked towards the Vault of Heaven, but they didn’t see Lord Taishang appear.
However, knowing that Haotian was about to break through made them all look very grave.
“Primordial Phoenix, don’t worry. Even if Haotian breaks through, he is still just one person. With the Three Pure Ones taking action, and with us helping you, if Haotian dares to come back, he will not have a good end.”
The Ancestral Dragon spoke, saying these words.
He thought that Haotian was too insane.
The current Haotian is indeed the enemy of the Three Realms, the enemy of all living beings.
If Haotian truly came to control the Three Realms, it would absolutely be a catastrophe for these Three Realms; even the Supremes would not have a good time.
Unless they submit to Haotian.
However, the Ancestral Dragon and the others would never make such a choice.
If they were willing to submit, they wouldn’t have fought against Haotian in the Primordial times.
The Primordial Phoenix’s beautiful face showed a slight, forced smile.
“Thank you all. If anything happens in the Heavenly Court in the future, feel free to find me. If there’s anything I can help with, I will certainly not refuse.”
After saying this, the Primordial Phoenix turned away and left.
She has completely sided with the Heavenly Court, unlike before when she only maintained a harmonious relationship with it.
Because the Primordial Phoenix was well aware that to avenge Demon Roc, she could only cooperate with the Heavenly Court.
With her own strength, she couldn’t possibly handle Haotian.
If she truly faced Haotian alone, there would be no other path but death.
“Our Human Race must suffer again.”
After the Primordial Phoenix left, Suiren said with a bitter smile.
He could feel that Tian Hao would not rest at peace.
The other side would definitely cause more trouble, and those to be harmed first would inevitably be the Human Race within the Three Realms.
The Human Race is now the protagonists of this world, the most populous existence throughout the Three Realms.
Moreover, given the relationship between the Human Race and the Heavenly Court, it is also Tian Hao’s first target to strike against.
“Suiren, rest assured; we will intervene to monitor the realms. If anything happens, we will act immediately to protect the Human Race from harm.”
Sun Wukong said solemnly.
“I will now head to the Heavenly Court and arrange for strong protectors to guard the four continents to prevent the tragedy from repeating.”
Yang Jian also said.
His expression was somewhat grave, as there really was no good way to deal with the rebellious Supreme.
