Chapter 2055: Chapter 674: Fight to the Death

When the crimson radiance streaked across the Void, it shot straight toward ’Luo Hou’ like a comet.

The Nine Phoenix Devine Lord, who was near Yinghuo Star, could not help freezing for a moment; she stared at that red light, her pupils shrinking to needle points.

"Burial Sky?" The Nine Phoenix’s voice was hoarse and strained: "That fellow... he shouldn’t have gone mad yet—"

The Vermilion Bird Star Lord was also incredulous: "This should not be! They clearly still had room to maneuver—why stake everything on this one throw, a death-match with no return?"

She truly could not make sense of it.

Since the battle at the Southern Heavenly Extreme, Burial Sky’s situation had clearly improved greatly.

Diwa’s Sealing was on the verge of being undone, and Burial Sky himself no longer needed to watch the flanks, and could focus wholly on Suppressing the blood poison within and without.

The Vermilion Bird Star Lord then turned to look in the direction of the Netherworld.

Was it for Chu Xisheng?

Only because Chu Xisheng was in mortal peril, that he made this life‑betting move?

This was precisely what puzzled the Vermilion Bird Star Lord even more.

Why did Chu Xisheng have to risk himself and step into the Netherworld?

The Human Clan’s situation clearly had not yet deteriorated to such a degree.

Shen Bore had indeed promised All Gods that Burial Sky would become a Fallen Demon in ten days’ time,

and the Vermilion Bird Star Lord could in fact understand the Human Clan’s dread of Shen Bore.

Their Phoenix Clan was the same, deeply wary and ever on guard against Shen Bore.

Yet in recent days the Human Clan’s strength had increased to a tremendous extent, and their situation had greatly improved as well.

They were not without more proper ways to respond to Shen Bore; why act so resolutely, leaving themselves no retreat?

Could it be that Chu Xisheng and Burial Sky did not know this was the most foolish course?

The Pangu Gods were all waiting for Burial Sky to launch a Heavenly Attack on Luo Hou; with this move he was doomed to die!

Even if he did not die, he would certainly become a Fallen Demon.

"The folly of an ant—hardly worth speaking of."

The Nine Phoenix gave a cold snort; that country-toppling, immortal‑graceful face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost: "Where is Chongming? Tell him this battle concerns the Qi Fortune of our Phoenix Clan. Let him rush to Ying Huo at the fastest speed."

The Vermilion Bird Star Lord nodded slightly at these words: "I will pass it on to him."

The Chongming God was their younger brother.

Yet the Vermilion Bird did not believe Chongming would intervene in this battle.

The Chongming God’s disposition was upright and unbending; because he had once disapproved of the Nine Phoenix’s betrayal, he long ago established his own line, and from then on had no dealings with the Phoenix Clan.

Moreover, because the Chongming God had long resolved disasters for the Mortal World, his relationship with Yinghuo was exceedingly bad.

This Divine Monarch wielded the ’Heavenly Resolution’ Technique; his gaze could decompose everything, and could also decompose any Fire Disaster or Wind Disaster.

Therefore Yinghuo and Jidu both loathed him to the extreme; in past years Yinghuo had even fought three great battles with Chongming, each lasting several days and nights.

How then could this Divine Monarch possibly participate in this contention over Yinghuo?

Just as their words fell, a sea of flames like a sky‑filling tide spread out from the Void, shrouding and devouring the crimson Yinghuo Star.

The surrounding Void instantly turned into a furnace; everything was burning!

Both their hearts sank.

—It was the Fire God ’Yanrong’, who had previously withdrawn, and his most outstanding offspring, the Star Lord Heavenly Stove and the Fire Star Lord.

Whether Burial Sky’s Heavenly Attack on Luo Hou was wise or not,

the first to be caught in the crossfire and feel pain down to the bone were in fact their Phoenix Clan bloodline!

The Vermilion Bird Star Lord spread her wings to the utmost, countering flame with flame, fire with fire.

She further drew upon the Star Power of the Vermilion Bird stars, Suppressing the Sky Burning Technique in this stretch of Void,

yet just as the Vermilion Bird Star Lord and the Star Lord Heavenly Stove began to fight fiercely, a black Flayer silently tore open the Void and slashed toward her back.

Though this Flayer did not strike her body, it unleashed boundless calamities around the Vermilion Bird Star Lord.

—Wind Disaster! Flood! Thunder Disaster! Fire Disaster! Poison Disaster!

And even the Time Order and the Void themselves went utterly berserk in that instant; countless chaotic temporal blades frenziedly cleaved and reaped.

These various disaster powers born of nature not only rent the Void, they also bombarded her body, tying down her strength.

The Vermilion Bird Star Lord’s expression shifted slightly.

It was the Lord of Ten Thousand Disasters—Jidu!

The question was, why would this insidious, devious fellow who liked to lurk in the dark and profit from others’ struggles choose to act now?

The Combat between their Phoenix Clan bloodline and the Fire God lineage had only just begun!

The Vermilion Bird Star Lord suddenly gained an insight,

this was most likely because the Fire God ’Yanrong’ and the ’Lord of Ten Thousand Disasters’ Jidu had struck a bargain.

Yanrong had no need of the authority over disasters; he only needed to seize Yinghuo back and solidify his standing within the Fire Element.

Beyond that, this might also be related to Luo Hou.

Shen Bore’s act of resurrecting Luo Hou had enraged Jidu.

When Shen Bore’s power was at its height, Jidu naturally dared not act rashly.

But once Burial Sky launched a Heavenly Attack on Luo Hou, the Lord of Ten Thousand Disasters once more found the courage to become an enemy of Shen Bore.

At this moment, outside the Netherworld, a ghostly light appeared in the eyes of the Three Generation of Saint Emperor: "It seems you still failed to persuade that Ancestor God."

Shen Bore’s features were likewise cold as ice; he let out a troubled sigh: "How did it come to this?"

Yet this unexpected move by Burial Sky could indeed, to some extent, bring Destruction to his secret ceremony and keep him from achieving his wish.

He admitted in his heart that he had been overly careless, that he had underestimated the Human Clan.

Strictly speaking, it could not even be called carelessness.

For that was his secret ceremony to begin with.

—Shen Bore wanted, under the gaze of all, to manipulate the fate of a mighty race, and even that of an Ancestor God Level divine being.

Thus it was not carelessness, but rather that he was too greedy.

He had chosen the wrong target from the very beginning.

Long Xi’s Bloodline descendants were simply too outstanding—so outstanding that the moment he relaxed even slightly, the situation slipped out of his Control.

Tracing to the source, it began with Suiren, then You Chao, Burial Sky, Yu Gong, Zhi Sou, the Second Generation Saint Emperor, the Three Generation of Saint Emperor—one after another, all advancing and giving their lives.
