Chapter 1213: Xuanyuan Xia of the Sea of Gods Realm
Even though Ling Feng wasn't directly facing this Power of Thunder and Fire, he could still feel the world-ending force of the dragon and tiger!
"Is this the strength of a Divine Realm Master?" Ling Feng felt as if a pair of transcendent eyes were watching him, with the weight of a mountain pressing down on his body, rendering him immobile.
A shudder deep within his soul made Ling Feng feel the urge to flee, but he suppressed this fear with his strong will.
He was well aware that his future adversaries wouldn't be Divine Realm Masters or masters of Divine Sea Realm, but Azure Sky Realm masters, or even the Plane Lords of Immortal Realm!
"I cannot fear! I cannot fear!" Ling Feng gritted his teeth and said to himself in a whisper, "I must face this fear head-on, because I am Ling Feng!"
Ling Feng took a deep breath and squinted slightly, feeling as if something inside him had cracked open.
Meanwhile, Xuanyuan Xia, standing at the heart of the attack, raised her eyes to look at the Thunder Dragon and the Fierce Flame Tiger!
"Again with these empty displays!" Xuanyuan Xia remarked blandly, "Extinguish!"
As the last word sprang from Xuanyuan Xia's lips, Ling Feng felt as though something extra appeared between heaven and earth, and the Thunder Dragon and Fire Tiger, initially carrying the Force of Destruction, halted all at once.
A gust swept through, dissipating the Thunder Dragon and annihilating the Fire Tiger without a trace. The sky, reminiscent of an apocalypse moments earlier, suddenly turned azure blue, as though nothing had transpired.
"What's going on?" Ling Feng was dumbfounded, unable to comprehend this scene considering his experience.
Liang Hai's eyes widened in terror, his voice trembling, "You... you actually are a master of Divine Sea Realm! Damn, how is this possible? How could you display Divine Sea Realm power here? It's impossible!"
Saying that, Liang Hai turned to flee, realizing that against a master of Divine Sea Realm, a Divine Realm Master stood no chance! Their strength was worlds apart!
Previously, Liang Hai's attack was his strongest move, yet the opponent destroyed everything with a single word.
"Word Magic!" This is a technique only a master of Divine Sea Realm would possess.
"Too late to leave now!" Xuanyuan Xia gently pointed with her fair hand, and a cold gleam shot from her fingertip, piercing into Liang Hai's body in the blink of an eye. His body stiffened, then he collapsed to the ground.
Ling Feng blinked his eyes; a Divine Realm Master had just fallen at Xuanyuan Xia's hands. His senior sister's strength was terrifying.
At this moment, a thud was heard, and the struggling Vermilion Bird also fell to the ground, letting out a weak chirping sound.
"Senior Sister, come quick; this Vermilion Bird seems to be in trouble!" Ling Feng rushed to the Vermilion Bird's side, shouting anxiously.
Xuanyuan Xia approached the Vermilion Bird, her expression somber. She sighed, saying, "Ling Feng, this Vermilion Bird is as good as dead. It surely fought a fierce battle with Liang Hai recently, and its vital source has been injured. Not even I can save it now."
Ling Feng's mood was somber, and at that moment, he felt a chirping sound coming from his arms. Two Little Vermilion Birds emerged, fluttering to the Vermilion Bird's side.
The Male Vermilion Bird, seeing the two Little Vermilion Birds, burst into radiant light from its previously dim eyes. It had believed its children had died in the hands of the Scorpion King, yet upon its dying moments, it could still witness its offspring!
The Male Vermilion Bird tenderly groomed the feathers of the two Little Vermilion Birds, its eyes showing reluctance. After a short while, it lifted its head to look at Ling Feng, chirping softly as if entrusting the two little ones to him.
Ling Feng sighed, saying, "Rest assured, I will take good care of these little ones!"
The Male Vermilion Bird showed gratitude in its eyes, then jittered, a fiery plume falling from its body into Ling Feng's hands.
"Is this for me?" Ling Feng asked curiously, holding the feather.
The Male Vermilion Bird nodded, then glanced fondly at the two Little Vermilion Birds before abruptly transforming into a blaze, vanishing before Ling Feng and Xuanyuan Xia.
"So that's how it is," Xuanyuan Xia sighed upon witnessing this, "This feather is the Phoenix Feather, bearing a trace of Phoenix Essence Blood. It must be why the Male Vermilion Bird was strong and why the two Little Vermilion Birds contain a trace of Phoenix Essence Blood."
Ling Feng exclaimed, "So this is the Phoenix Feather?"
"That's right. With it, you can successfully locate the Phoenix Essence Blood!" Xuanyuan Xia said, "Looks like you've got quite the luck, Ling Feng!"
Ling Feng's face lit up with joy, realizing that he was one step closer to the Phoenix Essence Blood.
"Let's go; it's time to question that Abyssal Plane fellow!" Xuanyuan Xia said with a smile, "I'm curious why he's after the Phoenix Essence Blood."
Tucking the two Little Vermilion Birds back in his arms, Ling Feng followed Xuanyuan Xia to where Liang Hai had fallen.
"Is he dead?" Ling Feng asked, "Senior Sister, you managed to defeat a Divine Realm Master so easily; your strength..."
"I am at the Divine Sea Realm Peak!" At this point, Xuanyuan Xia didn't hide her strength, saying, "Due to the seal loosening, I can now display the Early Stage of Divine Sea Realm cultivation. Although this guy is a Divine Realm Master, he stands no chance against me!"
Ling Feng nodded slowly; that made sense! As the Holy Emperor's daughter, Xuanyuan Xia had never shown superhuman strength, causing Ling Feng some doubt initially. Now he understood.
"I refrained from displaying my strength previously because I didn't want you to rely on me," Xuanyuan Xia explained, "You need to face dangers independently and confront powerful beings on your own. If not for this guy's sudden appearance, I might have continued concealing my strength!"
Ling Feng rubbed his nose, "Senior Sister, you hid it so well from me that all this time, my heart's been hanging in suspense!"
"Dangerous situations prompt quick growth!" Xuanyuan Xia chuckled, "Alright, let's extract what we need from this fellow, then move forward!"
With that, Xuanyuan Xia snapped her fingers, and the unconscious Liang Hai started to awaken.
"No!" Liang Hai was about to flee, but heard Xuanyuan Xia's calm voice saying, "You'd best abandon any thought of escape. You should know that before me, you can't even succeed in dying!"
