Chapter: Chapter 514
Was being burned to ashes a small matter? Bai Ling blinked her eyes, gritted her teeth, and decided to believe Yin Fino’s words. She didn’t understand these things, so she would listen to those who did!
Carrying her star sword, Bai Ling plunged into the spatial rift torn open by the phoenix.
After a dizzying spin, Bai Ling found herself back in the great desert. However, unlike before, the great desert now seemed exceptionally quiet.
The sandstorm had apparently been suppressed by some unseen force, and a faint golden barrier blocked the sandstorm, revealing the true landscape of the great desert before Bai Ling’s eyes.
Vast yellow sand, devoid of human habitation. Even without the sandstorm, this was truly a forbidden zone for life.
Bai Ling looked up at the sky. The beautiful golden phoenix was flapping its wings, slowly flying in a certain direction.
Where was that? Temporarily disoriented, Bai Ling didn’t know, but she knew she had to chase after it and wait for an opportunity.
Transforming into a streak of starlight, Bai Ling closely followed behind the phoenix. The phoenix didn’t seem to mind Bai Ling’s close pursuit, as she didn’t sense any malice from the starlight behind her.
Moreover, compared to Bai Ling behind her, the hidden entities within the desert posed a greater threat.
However, those guys dared not directly provoke a true god, so they tacitly chose silence, making way for the newborn phoenix and watching her fly towards the distant grasslands.
About ten minutes later, Bai Ling felt a rise in temperature, and then the golden flames filling the sky appeared in her vision.
Upon closer inspection, she realized that these flames were actually golden firebirds. They flapped their wings and flew directly towards the phoenix. Sensing the familiar aura from these firebirds, the phoenix let out a joyful cry.
By absorbing these fragments of power, her strength would increase significantly.
“Xiao Bai, you can’t let her absorb these things! Destroy them!” Yin Fino shouted in Bai Ling’s ear.
The situation was unclear, so it was best to maintain the status quo. Yin Fino didn’t know what would happen after this large bird absorbed these golden firebirds, but her intuition told her that nothing good would come of it.
“Understood!” Raising her sword, a long river of stars descended upon the world at Bai Ling’s command.
The phoenix was startled by the sudden change, stunned for a moment. The area around her had just been the great desert; how had it suddenly become a starry sky?
And where were her fragments of power? Where had they gone?
The starry sky around her was filled with a slightly repulsive starlight, and she shook her head in annoyance. The golden flames on her body erupted, incinerating all the stars around her.
As the stars blocking her vision disappeared, the phoenix saw the situation clearly. Most of the fragments of power, which were already close to her mouth, had been lost under the strangulation of starlight, with only scattered remnants struggling to dodge.
And the one chasing them was the streak of starlight that had been following her from the beginning!
Stealing food from her mouth, how could she tolerate this?
This was utterly unbearable!
Letting out a loud cry, the phoenix flapped her wings and charged towards Bai Ling with flames.
Bai Ling naturally did not fall for such a unskillful attack. With a sidestep, she dodged the phoenix’s attack. However, her evasion interrupted her pursuit, allowing the phoenix to swallow several firebirds.
Joyful cries came from the phoenix’s mouth; anyone could feel her happiness.
Looking at the endless fiery glow on the horizon, Bai Ling’s hand holding the sword began to tremble. She suddenly felt that disturbing this phoenix’s meal seemed like a very difficult task.
However, it seemed this was all she could do right now!
Clutching her star sword, bright stars appeared in the sky. The previously bright sky alternated between light and dark in just a few breaths, and a star river spanning the sky appeared in the center of the celestial canopy.
Standing beneath the star river, Bai Ling held her sword horizontally in front of her. Her aura gradually became extremely sharp, and even the phoenix showed a hint of panic. She realized that this bad person disturbing her meal was quite powerful.
However, to this day, this bad person had not shown clear hostility towards her. She was only clearing her food; why was this?
The phoenix, currently like a small idiot, couldn’t understand. She only knew she needed to eat, so she had to protect her food.
A golden blazing sky curtain descended with the phoenix’s call, confronting Bai Ling’s star river.
“Since that’s the case, I’ll beat you down first!” Seeing the phoenix’s actions, Bai Ling was not afraid. With the star river behind her as support, she feared no one!
Wielding her heavy longsword, the star river on the sky curtain tilted sharply and pressed down towards the phoenix, making it seem as if the entire sky had collapsed.
The blazing curtain of flames behind the phoenix transformed into a blazing bird nine-tenths similar to the phoenix. However, its size was several times larger than the phoenix. It flapped its wings and charged headfirst into the falling star river.
Flames and stars collided. After a chilling and eerie silence, an extremely terrifying energy turbulence erupted at the point of contact.
The blazing bird was torn apart by the explosion, and even the phoenix let out a mournful cry, her aura weakening slightly.
The star river was blown apart by half, but Bai Ling’s expression remained unchanged. She expressionlessly swung her sword, shattering the surging air currents attacking her, and then swung her sword again towards the distant sky.
A sword light wider than the sky shattered the swarms of firebirds. However, this was not enough to completely eliminate them. A small portion of the flames survived the terrifying attack and entered the phoenix’s body, where they were digested and absorbed.
Gaining new strength, the phoenix recovered from her previous failure. Without thinking too much, she flapped her wings again and attacked Bai Ling.
Bai Ling had no choice but to repel the phoenix again while continuing to clear the constantly arriving firebirds. Her multitasking, coupled with the sheer number of firebirds, ultimately prevented her from dealing with all of them, allowing the phoenix to absorb a considerable amount of golden flames.
Gradually, Bai Ling found her opponent becoming stronger. These flames not only restored the phoenix’s stamina but also provided her with combat experience. If this continued, she might soon be unable to suppress her.
“Letizia, now it’s up to you!” Bai Ling pushed the phoenix back with a sword, panting, and silently muttered to herself about Letizia.
The key to breaking the current deadlock was Letizia, who had hidden in her spiritual world!
How was Letizia doing now?
The good news was that the situation was still under Letizia’s control, and she was close to roping in the bird that was flying around in her spiritual space.
However, there was also bad news: the golden energy, which seemed to have flown from who knows where, could enhance the bird’s strength. If this bird continued to grow stronger, Letizia might not be able to defeat her.
“Don’t run, come to sister. I promise I won’t kill you!”
“I won’t believe anyone except you! Dragon God, don’t think I’m an idiot!” the big bird retorted angrily. She didn’t expect this to be exactly what Letizia wanted.
The colorful rope nimbly coiled around the bird’s wings like a snake. Letizia grabbed the ends of the rope with both hands, pulled hard, and dragged the bird to the ground. She then rode on its head again and began to pound it with her fists.
“For running, for not listening, for being confused!” Letizia cursed as she beat.
This made the big bird suspect if her ears were malfunctioning. She hadn’t done anything wrong, had she? You broke into my spiritual world, pinned me to the ground, and beat me up. I’m the victim here, alright?
In this day and age, you bad guys can beat up victims like me and scold me for doing wrong? Is there any justice left?
“Let go of me, Dragon God, you scoundrel, I’m going to kill you!” The big bird struggled again. Her struggle was so strong that even Letizia had to pause her attack and use all her strength to suppress her movement.
“What’s wrong with me calling you confused? Are you Huang? Think about it yourself, are you Huang? Huh!” Grasping the colorful rope tightly, Letizia shouted loudly.
This guy’s self-awareness hadn’t been completely wiped out by Huang’s memories. She currently believed herself to be Huang, but in essence, she was still that little fool, Da Dan. Her reaction just now showed some differences.
Huang wouldn’t speak so foolishly. Only Da Dan would.
“Of course, I am Huang. Why am I not Huang!”
“Do you think I wouldn’t know if Huang self-destructed in front of me? You just took her memories. You are not Huang, do you understand!” Gripping the big bird’s head, Letizia shouted, “Do you want me to show you the recording of Huang self-destructing, so you can see how you died?”
“I don’t want to see it. You cunning guy must be trying to trick me. you’re a bad person!”
“I… you really don’t remember me at all? Haven’t I seen you before? Think again.” Adding a few more loops of rope around the big bird’s neck, Letizia prepared for a counterattack after the negotiation broke down, while also engaging in psychotherapy.
There was still hope to save this foolish bird, so she should talk first. If all else failed, she could only seal her completely or eliminate her.
However, doing so would undoubtedly be a great weakening for the phoenix. Even a deity, after losing more than half of her mental strength, would likely be weakened for a very long time.
The big bird fell into thought, searching through her countless years of memories for information related to Letizia.
Fortunately, this wasn’t difficult. Letizia had met her not long ago, and she had brought her half-companion with her.
“Oh! I remember!” The big bird, whose head had been completely filled with Huang’s memories, remembered who Letizia was. However, she still didn’t have a good attitude towards Letizia. “Then you are also a bad person, and I am Huang!”
With so many memories, how could they be fake?
I am Huang’s successor, so it’s okay for me to consider myself Huang!
“Hey, you little brat, why are you so stubborn? Is Huang that good? That lunatic seems completely abnormal!” Letizia raised her fist and smashed hard on the big bird’s head, causing the big bird to let out an extremely displeased cry.
Just talk, why hit people?
“I think you’re still not awake. A few more hits will probably make you awake,” Letizia growled.
“You…” A hint of depression flashed in the big bird’s eyes. Things shouldn’t be like this. She was the invincible Huang, the invincible phoenix deity. Why was she beaten up by her mortal enemy in the spirit space immediately after recognizing her identity?
And this mortal enemy kept denying her identity as Huang. Why?
The big bird couldn’t understand.
But the familiar aura from the distance made her give up her fruitless thinking. She looked towards the jungle where another golden phoenix was slowly rising. Genuine surprise appeared in her red eyes. “Is that… the one who ran away earlier?”
After gaining Huang’s memories, Da Dan’s consciousness split into two parts. One part believed itself to be Huang, and the other part believed itself not to be Huang but an egg.
The part that believed itself to be Huang was the big bird currently being held down by Letizia for a heart-to-heart talk. The other part, which had been chased and devoured by the big bird, had hidden in the jungle symbolizing the depths of consciousness and had not reappeared.
Now, why did she come out again?
Letizia also looked up at the sky. The golden phoenix bird had a familiar aura on her.
As if sensing Letizia’s gaze, the golden phoenix lowered her head and met Letizia’s gaze.
“Leave those consciousness fragments to me, Sister Leti!” Yuan’s voice sounded in Letizia’s ear.
Is that Yuan? Letizia looked at the young but beautiful bird, and a question arose in her heart. Was this beautiful bird still the little guy she knew?
“Go, don’t force yourself.” A flicker of unwillingness flashed in her eyes, and Letizia nodded. She shouted at the big bird in the sky.
“I understand. I have experience dealing with these consciousness fragments!” Flapping her wings, Yuan flew towards the sky, devouring the golden energy that Letizia had isolated in the sky bite by bite.
As the golden energy was gradually absorbed by Yuan, the aura of the big bird became more solid and powerful, even surpassing the big bird being held down by Letizia for a time.
“That weakling, how could she do this? This is clearly my feast!” The big bird, who believed herself to be Huang, was immediately unhappy. What could be more infuriating than someone eating her feast?
This was unbearable!
“That’s mine! Don’t touch that stuff! You weakling who refuses to accept fate!”
