Chapter 1773 Another Encounter with the Slash of Time
Seeing that Feng Wang was still acting like a die-hard, Chen Wan's face showed a hint of impatience.
The Phoenix Clan is not entirely unrecorded in the Immortal Physician's Scripture.
The fire of Benming is the fire of life, the source of vitality, and the foundation for the Phoenix Clan's rebirth.
The idea that one is indestructible and immortal is not an exaggeration.
But the fire of Benming is not inexhaustible.
Once all the embers are used up, leaving only the spark, the Phoenix Clan will be forced to undergo a rebirth.
When a being is reborn from the ashes, it enters a state of ignorance and naturally becomes unafraid of ordinary attacks.
However, once Nirvana is successful, one will enter a state of re-cultivation in a short period of time, at which point one's strength may not even be as good as that of a Golden Core cultivator.
Chen Wanli knew exactly how to deal with this old hen.
Even now, he can still speak with such conviction, simply because he feels he has the Dragon King backing him up.
In comparison, the Dragon King is indeed a formidable opponent.
Chen Wanli could sense that the Dragon King had not yet used his full strength.
It's clear they don't want to push things to the extreme.
And then there's Ye Zhenjun, who's just standing by watching the show.
The reason for gathering these guys together under the guise of a wedding was simply to gauge their attitude.
It was now clear that the Dragon King and Ye Zhenjun were neither friends nor enemies.
If we have to make a clear distinction, they should be those who have their own interests and demands.
And I am most likely a part of their efforts to achieve their goals.
In other words, they will ultimately side with themselves for their own benefit.
It's laughable that Phoenix King still hasn't figured things out by now.
"Immortal and indestructible, huh?" Chen Wanli laughed, a mocking smile curving his lips upwards.
Phoenix King had a bad feeling, but since it had already said it, it naturally wouldn't slap itself in the face.
Its own primordial fire healed its injuries, and it also took out various magical treasures of the Phoenix Clan.
At this moment, Chen Wanli began to form a hand seal.
A buzzing sound emanated from Wangmang City, as if it were bursting from the ground. Then the buzzing turned into a rushing sound, and then into the sound of a rushing and roaring river.
It was as if it appeared out of nowhere in everyone's ears.
Everyone's eyes involuntarily followed the direction of the sound.
However, nothing was found.
There are no rivers in Wangmang City, so we don't know where this sound came from.
The next second, Chen Wanli stood in the void, his long arms outstretched, and as the formation shifted, streaks of white light shot into the sky from beneath Wangmang City.
The white light gathered in the void and condensed into water.
From above, it looks like the Milky Way pouring down from above.
"Congeal!"
Chen Wanli uttered a single word.
Instantly, the white light within the formation changed, transforming into black water, each drop carrying countless boundless water elemental spirits.
Thousands of water elements condense together, each drop weighing over ten thousand kilograms.
As the "Condensation" technique was activated, the void shrouded in white light and black water fell into a dull and stagnant feeling, as if ice had been formed.
An indescribable chill swept across all directions.
Phoenix King's expression finally changed.
It sensed that every drop of this black water was like a deadly poison to it.
Even a drop of it can give the fire of Honmei a suppressed heaviness.
If the thousands of water droplets in the formation were to gather on one's own body, then even if the fire of the original light did not go out, it would probably be exhausted and reborn in Nirvana.
Damn it, there is no source power in the demon cave.
Therefore, this water elemental power can only come from some kind of supreme water elemental treasure.
The transformation of this grand formation is due to the power of chaos; neither the Water Element Treasure nor the formation itself provides any support.
This only shows that Chen Wanli had already incorporated the Water Element Treasure into the formation, intending to use this moment to transform it and summon it with his supernatural powers.
That bastard had already planned how to deal with me!
Thinking of this, Phoenix King felt a chill run down his spine for the first time.
This kind of progressively intricate calculation is still based on top-tier military strength.
Anyone with such formidable combat power, coupled with such cunning, would be invincible.
Phoenix King had even considered that if Dragon King were to come to his aid in a forceful manner, Chen Wanli would probably have already prepared a way to deal with it!
Its heart began to sink little by little!
Chen Wanli remained calmly suspended in the void, continuously drawing upon "heavenly water" by forming hand seals.
Although all of this happened inside the formation, those outside could still feel the temperature drop suddenly.
All that could be seen was a large array above the city, shrouded in "black clouds and mist," with a silver dragon churning in the rain and mist, and the huge, shimmering phantom of the crimson phoenix gradually fading into darkness.
The gods were already aware of Chen Wanli's strength.
Especially those clans that still stand firmly on Chen Wanli's side at this time, besides contracts and agreements, also affirm his strength.
Even so, the scene before them still deeply moved them.
Ho-Oh's primordial flame grew dimmer and dimmer.
"Chen Wanli, you really are a treacherous and cunning villain!" The Phoenix King's attack couldn't even touch Chen Wanli.
Chen Wanli launched a long-range attack, using the supernatural power of the Water-Freezing Ice Technique and the attack of the Array of Shifting Formations to constantly harass them.
Phoenix King also knew that it was not a true Heavenly Origin Spirit, but rather came from a Water Element Treasure, so the Water Element Essence was limited.
Once exhausted, Chen Wanli might not be able to use this supernatural power again.
But the question is, which will be exhausted first, the fire of original light or the water elemental essence?
"I know what you're waiting for. Let me tell you, when I was tempering my Dao body, I used a supreme water element treasure to temper it. Even without the Heavenly Origin Essence, I can still unleash this divine power!"
Chen Wanli smiled faintly. There were indeed water element treasures in the formation, but their grade was not very good. They were better than nothing and were meant to reduce his own consumption. So far, it seemed to be working very well.
A white mist surged from his outstretched hand, converging into an ice cone several meters long.
With a casual toss, the ice spike became a top-tier offensive weapon, tearing through the void and piercing straight towards the Phoenix King.
A round shield rose up in front of the Phoenix King to protect his vitals, but unexpectedly, the ice spikes exploded in the void.
The water element exploded, transforming into countless streams of black water containing immense water elemental power, which covered its entire body.
The fire of Benming has dimmed by another ten percent.
Therefore, it can only be reborn as Nirvana.
It's important to know that even for a Phoenix King with divine beast blood, reaching the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm through cultivation was an arduous journey.
After Nirvana, one returns to one's original form; how can one cultivate back to that state in a hundred years?
It will not choose to enter Nirvana at this time unless absolutely necessary.
At this moment, the Dragon King was entangled by the power of the array formation of the Thunder Ancestor and Kuafu Chong, but it was not entirely impossible for him to break free.
However, the price is that the entire city of Wangmang, and even the life within it, will be destroyed by its supernatural powers.
It doesn't want to go to such extremes unless absolutely necessary.
"Chen Wanli, I admit, you are a qualified chess player!"
The Dragon King's voice, like thunder, reverberated through the void.
This is a form of "bowing down," giving Chen Wanli a way out.
But Chen Wanli did not respond.
I went through all this trouble, and you expect me to back down with just a simple excuse?
Is this an offer to save face?
Perfunctory.
Phoenix King's aura grew increasingly weak; the Flame of Primordial Light could no longer envelop its entire body, barely protecting its heart meridian.
Chen Wanli refused the Dragon King's offer to save face!
Then it doesn't need to humiliate itself anymore; there's only one way left!
"Chen Wanli, I misjudged you, I hate you, I hate that I fell for your scheme! But, after my Nirvana, it will be the time for you to break with the Dragon and Phoenix clans, and I will not have lost out!"
The Phoenix King's face turned deathly pale, yet he continued to grin maliciously.
Its original, luminous fire, which once resided in its heart, was now only the size of a tiny spark, flickering about.
It's time for Nirvana!
Otherwise, it will completely lose its chance for rebirth under Chen Wanli's attack!
At the moment of Nirvana, it will become invincible.
Chen Wanli couldn't kill himself either.
After Nirvana, one can only rely on the Dragon King's protection.
"Brother Long, after my rebirth, I entrust my affairs to you!"
As Ho-Oh's voice rang out.
The fire seed on Phoenix King's heart meridian burst forth, creating illusory fire shadows that spread in concentric circles in all directions.
The power of life, spiritual energy, demonic energy, fire energy, and various other energies burst forth from the fire seed.
As a top-tier divine beast, its bloodline combines the characteristics of both the demon race and the divine race.
This aura made everyone so tense that they forgot to breathe!
Did Chen Wanli force the Phoenix King to undergo a nirvana?
The Dragon King also sensed this aura and roared to the sky: "Chen Wanli, let it go, and I will grant you three supreme treasures! Feng Jiu, do not act rashly... this is not a good place for Nirvana!"
Chen Wanli remained silent, watching helplessly as the Nirvana Flame erupted completely, and the Phoenix King's figure faded further and further until it was completely absorbed into the Fire Shadow.
Nirvana has begun!
In the firelight, Phoenix King had begun to dissipate, its true soul returning to the original flame.
At this point, if Chen Wanli wished, the Phoenix King's rebirth could turn into the complete annihilation of its soul.
And Chen Wanli will also gain a spark of enlightenment!
The Phoenix Clan's original flame should be the best nourishing substance that Chen Wanli can currently access.
Thinking of this, a glint of greed flashed in Chen Wanli's eyes.
The Dragon King's threat? What's that?
At this moment, the Dragon King was indeed in a great hurry. He could no longer care about anything else and unleashed a dragon clan divine power.
The entire earth shook violently, and all the earth veins that were being pulled apart by the great formation seemed about to explode.
Chen Wanli smiled faintly: "The Dragon King's mighty power is something I can hardly match now. However, brute force can break the formation. Once the formation base explodes, not a blade of grass will grow within a radius of a thousand miles."
The area spanning a thousand miles naturally includes the Phoenix King within the formation.
To save Ho-Oh, it's enlarged; but enlarged Ho-Oh will also lead to its death?
Isn't this like giving the Dragon King a dead end to untangle?
The Dragon King was very angry; he was very unhappy about being trapped and manipulated like this.
"So, all of this was planned by you all along?" The Dragon King stopped moving, even retracting his enormous true dragon form and transforming back into human form.
Chen Wanli stretched his neck: "I suppose so. There's always a reason we invited you all here!"
"Have you considered how I will retaliate after Feng Jiu's rebirth?" the Dragon King said with a gloomy face.
"A successful rebirth?" Chen Wanli smiled.
"When Nirvana occurs, the soul returns to the fire, and you cannot do anything about it!" The Dragon King had now accepted the irreversible fact of the Phoenix King's Nirvana and calmed down.
Chen Wanli smiled faintly and asked in return, "Is that so?"
The next second, Chen Wanli stepped into the void, one step, two steps, three steps...
Nine steps later, a huge phantom appeared behind Chen Wanli.
This phantom was exactly the same as him, only ten times larger, resembling a giant spirit god...
Chen Wanli tilted his head slightly, the past flashing before his eyes, and the future swirling in his mind. In an instant, time passed, all within his thoughts!
His hand swept across the void, suddenly grabbing as if he had grasped an invisible longsword.
He drew his longsword, causing the void to tremble.
The light and shadow, resembling a giant spirit god, made the same movements as the real person!
Time Slash!
This was the first time Chen Wanli had used this technique since entering the Demon Cave!
Even at the Nascent Soul stage, it's still so difficult to unleash this move... but its power is terrifying!
That tangible feeling of the passage of time seemed to be rehearsed before everyone's eyes!
His hand was trembling slightly, but he still held the long sword up!
In that instant, everyone seemed to feel the power of time within the invisible blade of light!
"The power of laws!" The Dragon King's mouth dropped open.
Standing below the city, Ye Zhenjun was completely stunned. The power of laws?
How can a Nascent Soul cultivator be placed here to grant him the power of the Laws of View?
Although it was so shallow and so thin, it was so genuine!
"With one stroke, I've wiped out a century of glory!"
Chen Wanli slashed down with his sword.
Legend has it that the flame of the original Ming Dynasty was fearless, but now the flame has shattered!
"I will sever another five hundred years of life and death..."
Chen Wanli drew his sword again, and the tips of his hair turned snow-white!
The Dragon King snapped out of his shock and shouted, "There's no need for this..."
Ye Zhenjun leaped to his feet, stumbling as he approached: "Brother Chen, it doesn't have to be this way, it doesn't have to be this way... Listen to me, the Phoenix Clan has a treasure, you'll be delighted..."
