716: Chapter 256 Siege on Primordial Phoenix_2 716: Chapter 256 Siege on Primordial Phoenix_2 Jin Chan quickly led everyone to retreat, leaving Mount Ling.
After all, it wasn’t the first time Mount Ling had been destroyed.
They had quite some experience in rebuilding it.
Tathagata Buddha opened his eyes.
He was in Closed-door Cultivation at the Great Snow Mountain and sensed everything that was happening at Mount Ling.
After identifying the identities of the newcomers and observing the situation at Mount Ling for a bit longer, Tathagata Buddha closed his eyes again.
While in cultivation, he wasn’t clear about what exactly had happened at Mount Ling, but he had a perfect excuse not to intervene.
If the Primordial Phoenix turned aggressive towards him, it would be troublesome.
With thoughts swirling in his mind, Tathagata decided firmly to continue his cultivation.
As for the commotion at Mount Ling, it temporarily had nothing to do with him.
He was decidedly indifferent to it all.
An hour later, a Phoenix soared into the sky.
Its formidable aura shook the Three Realms.
The expression on Primordial Qilin’s face grew even grimmer, and the Primordial Phoenix finally solidified completely from its ethereal form, no longer worried about vanishing suddenly.
Now, among the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Tribes, he was the only one without a clue.
Mainly because all his descendants had died in battle years ago, and he had no idea where his body was.
It might have even been devoured by wild beasts.
Even the corpse of a Supreme Level powerhouse wouldn’t be spared by Ancient Gods and Ancient Demons who happened upon it, as they would definitely devour it.
Even a Great Heavenly Venerate could gain enormous benefit and significantly increase their power.
What should he do?
As his gaze swept over a passing tribesman, an idea sparked in Primordial Qilin’s mind.
It wasn’t completely hopeless.
He still had descendants currently, albeit few.
If he could gather them and refine out the Ancestral Blood, perhaps it could help him truly solidify his form and achieve Perfection.
Thinking this, Primordial Qilin immediately issued an order for all tribesmen to head out and find the Qilins of future generations.
Once found, they were to be captured and brought back immediately.
Suddenly, the entire Qilin tribe sprang into action.
…
Atop Mount Ling, the Primordial Phoenix achieved Nirvana and reached Perfection, reborn stronger than ever.
Next, the Primordial Phoenix transformed into a human form, yet was completely unclothed.
The Buddhas and Bodhisattvas of Mount Ling watched with fluttering hearts.
At that moment, they completely discarded their belief in the emptiness of all things, and their gaze fixated on the body of Primordial Phoenix, utterly infatuated.
As a Supreme Level female Ancient God, Primordial Phoenix was incomparably beautiful even without any intentional adjustment, a rare match in the mortal world.
Yet, she paid no attention to any of it.
To still be concerned about appearances at the Supreme Level would indicate a rather low realm of cultivation.
Primordial Phoenix’s gaze swept over the Buddhas of Mount Ling, a hint of disdain flickering in her eyes.
A thought crossed her mind, and a blaze of Phoenix True Fire plummeted towards Jin Chan and his group.
Jin Chan was horrified, utterly incapable of resisting.
If this blaze of Phoenix True Fire were to fall, it would completely annihilate Mount Ling.
He glared at the Primordial Phoenix.
This beast was ruthlessly vicious.
No wonder the Peacock and the Great Roc were so brutal; Jin Chan realized they had inherited their character from her.
The Primordial Phoenix, herself, was extremely ferocious.
At this point, Tathagata could no longer pretend.
He directly emerged from cultivation, and a burst of Buddha’s Light instantaneously reached Mount Ling, shielding everyone in front of him.
Then, with the vast expanse of Buddha’s Light, Tathagata Buddha blocked the blaze of Phoenix True Fire from the Primordial Phoenix.
The Primordial Phoenix, who had been about to leave, paused upon seeing this scene, halting in place.
Her eyes twinkled, fixing on Buddha, her murderous intent was palpable.
“If you hadn’t kept my two sons at Mount Ling, they wouldn’t have been so easily slain.
You owe me their lives,” she said.
Tathagata Buddha nearly cursed out loud, his expression dark as he coldly responded, “Nonsense!
Had I not protected them, given their temperaments, they would have been killed countless times over and wouldn’t have survived till now.
Primordial Phoenix, you distort truth and gratitude.
Are all of you Primordial Gods and Demons as foolish as you?”
With that, the murderous intent in Primordial Phoenix’s eyes intensified.
Tathagata’s words had now offended all the Primordial Gods and Demons.
“Seeking death,” she said coldly.
She pressed down with one hand, aiming to eradicate Tathagata Buddha.
Tathagata Buddha, too, hardened his resolve.
After all, he was on the brink of reaching Supreme Level, and even among those at the Sub-Paramount Level, he was a peak powerhouse.
The idea that Primordial Phoenix could easily kill him was nothing but a delusion.
He snorted coldly, clasped his hands forming the Demon-Subduing Seal, and launched it.
Boom
Heaven and Earth trembled, and Tathagata Buddha was driven back,
His eyes gleamed coldly, then he took offensive action.
“Primordial Phoenix, do you really think I fear you?
Today, you have gone too far.
I shall fight you to the death.”
Tathagata Buddha exclaimed furiously.
“To the death?
With you?”
Primordial Phoenix scoffed, her face displaying disdain.
Standing in mid-air, her expression showed indifference, not regarding Tathagata Buddha as a threat at all.
“Old Monk, do you really want to fight her to the death?”
Jin Chan suddenly asked.
“She’s gone too far.”
Tathagata Buddha said gravely.
Jin Chan nodded, adding with a cold laugh, “Fine, I’ll reach out for help.
Today, we’ll annihilate this old witch.”
After saying this, he immediately sent out several messages.
Watching everything before her, Primordial Phoenix scoffed with disdain.
As a foremost Supreme Level powerhouse, did they think it was as simple as putting out a fire to extinguish her?
“Heh, I’ll give you half an hour.
If the person you’ve called doesn’t arrive, I’ll annihilate Mount Ling.”
Now solidified, her strength had significantly improved, and she was filled with confidence.
“Who have you called?”
Tathagata asked.
Jin Chan, sneering, responded, “Enough to eliminate her, provided she doesn’t flee.”
