"Aowuh!"
The monstrous sea of fire and two golden dragons relentlessly swept the battlefield, fending off the desperate assault of more than a dozen of Heaven's Pride.
And as for the Dragon-Phoenix Resentful Fiend, seizing the moment of regaining its freedom, it did not hesitate to open its massive maw and devour several fragmented Heaven-reaching Spiritual Treasure Spirits, which were subdued by the Dragon Soul.
Continuously swallowing the spirits and unique materials of several remaining Heaven-reaching Spiritual Treasures, and bathing in the blood of the Specialists, the Dragon-Phoenix Resentful Fiend underwent a tremendous metamorphosis.
Originally, the purple-black Phoenix Wings that seemed incongruent with its entire jet-black dragon body had now completely transformed into a deep black color, appearing as if it was born with such wings.
The Phoenix Wings, which were originally two or three zhang in size, had now expanded to dozens of zhang, blotting out the sky like a hanging curtain. With a slight tremor, scarlet Red Lotus Karma Fire bloomed in the void, striking at the struggling dozen or so individuals.
The dragon body of the Dragon-Phoenix Resentful Fiend, strong as a fortress made of steel, also expanded to hundreds of zhang in size. Bone spurs grew on each dragon scale, glinting with terrifying cold light, all broke off, shooting fiercely alongside the Red Lotus Karma Fire towards the dozen or so who resisted desperately.
Bone spurs like rain, Karma Fire like flowers, faced with such a world-engulfing terrifying offensive, even a true Unity Realm Stage powerhouse would likely be incapable of resisting, only to bow their heads and await their slaughter.
And should they dare to resist, it would only add to their own misery.
"Kill!"
"Ah!!"
"No!!"
The dozen or so Heaven's Pride brought out their last life-saving cards, faces twisted in rage, prepared to annihilate Mu Jinyu and others to vent their hatred, only to find Mu Jinyu also going all out, completely lifting the shackles on the Dragon-Phoenix Resentful Fiend, allowing it to unleash an unprecedented world-ending power, destroying all of their life-saving cards!
Thus, their murderous shouts turned into wailing screams, full of despair, unwillingness, and helplessness...
But the battlefield has no mercy, only life and death.
In the end, the entire small grove was destroyed, no longer existing, with blood staining the ground red, and remnants of flesh still vaguely visible...
"Bang!"
The towering sea of fire spewed from the Bi Fang Cauldron had long subsided, the Little Phoenix no longer able to sustain the True Yuan and blood essence to power the Bi Fang Cauldron. Seeing the slaughter finally end, its taut string also relaxed, causing the Bi Fang Cauldron to fall from the sky.
"Aowuh!!"
At this moment, the hollow eyes of the Dragon-Phoenix Resentful Fiend stared intently at the flesh remnants and treasure fragments scattered on the ground, extending an extremely long black tongue, like a toad eating, its long tongue rolled up all the flesh remnants into its mouth to chew.
"Crunch crunch!!"
Soon, the flesh remnants of the tragically killed Heaven's Pride were all devoured by the Dragon-Phoenix Resentful Fiend.
And it seemed that having drunk its fill of blood and devoured much larger lifeforms and artifacts such as the Fallen Phoenix and fragmented Heaven-reaching spiritual treasures, these ordinary flesh could no longer satisfy it, much less allow it to metamorphose and elevate.
Thus, the Dragon-Phoenix Resentful Fiend gradually turned its mountain-sized dragon head, gazing backward.
It set its sights on Mu Jinyu, on the Bi Fang Cauldron, and the Little Phoenix within the cauldron, as well as that Flood Dragon body which was nearly transformed into a True Dragon...
These people and things were the ones that could truly allow it to metamorphose again.
Especially Mu Jinyu and the Bi Fang Cauldron, it could sense that both harbored a source of power it desperately craved.
Mu Jinyu, seeing the Dragon-Phoenix Resentful Fiend successfully help him block the desperate assault of the dozen or so Heaven's Pride, sending them all to the afterlife, didn't even have time to rejoice before noticing the Dragon-Phoenix Resentful Fiend turn back, staring at him greedily, which caused his heart to sink.
"As expected, it's out of control..."
Mu Jinyu sighed slightly in his heart at the sight.
He had anticipated that releasing the Dragon Soul's suppression on the Dragon-Phoenix Resentful Fiend might completely unleash its chaos.
But at that time, he had no other choice, as relying solely on the Bi Fang Cauldron and the power of the Dragon Soul was utterly insufficient to withstand the frantic assault of dozens of Heaven's Pride wielding life-saving cards.
Now, although the Dragon-Phoenix Resentful Fiend had indeed reversed his dire situation, it also began to backfire, which was within Mu Jinyu's expectation, yet he did not regret it.
To die at the hands of the Dragon-Phoenix Resentful Fiend was far better than at the hands of those who bullied Wen Rou and Jian Ruyan.
Furthermore, even if he died, he had already taken the lives of that group with him, making it a worthwhile exchange.
Of course, awaiting slaughter was not his character, and although Mu Jinyu felt the situation slipping out of control, he still refused to give up on suppressing the Dragon-Phoenix Resentful Fiend again.
He secretly urged the Golden Dragon Soul, attempting to suppress this Dragon-Phoenix Resentful Fiend once more!
"Aowuh!"
A resounding and thrilling dragon roar sounded, and under Mu Jinyu's control, the Dragon Soul swooped down towards the eager Dragon-Phoenix Resentful Fiend.
"Huff..."
Seeing this, the Dragon-Phoenix Resentful Fiend snorted, spraying out two streams of dark Qi from its nostrils, and also sprang into action, rushing towards the five-clawed Golden Dragon emanating a majestic aura!
"Sshhh!"
The two collided and immediately separated.
Under the grave gazes of Mu Jinyu, Wen Rou, and others, the Divine Dragon Soul was instantly dispersed, turning into specks of golden light that scattered into the air.
Mu Jinyu's heart sank; had he finally lost control over this Evil Dragon?
"Aow!"
At this moment, a resounding dragon roar came again from the void, the scattered specks of golden light re-gathering, reforming into a five-clawed Golden Dragon once more.
After all, the Divine Dragon was condensed from the Kunlun Dragon Vein Qi Luck, without actual physical form, torn apart by the Dragon-Phoenix Resentful Fiend, it still could be re-concentrated again.
But Mu Jinyu realized that while the newly condensed Divine Dragon body still glimmered with golden light and vast divine might, it was noticeably dimmer than before.
Despite having no substance, if torn into thousands of pieces by the Dragon-Phoenix Resentful Fiend, it might eventually dissipate completely.
"Retreat!!"
Mu Jinyu had no choice but to take advantage of the battle between the Dragon Soul and Dragon-Phoenix Resentful Fiend, to quickly lead Wen Rou and the others away from here.
With a wave of his hand, a streak of True Yuan extended like a flying ribbon, enveloping Wen Rou, Jian Ruyan, Zhuo Yue, and the Bi Fang Cauldron, as Mu Jinyu prepared to retreat to the previous restricted zone where the Hedao Fruit had been picked.
That place had strong restrictions, although it couldn't be certain they would keep out the out-of-control and increasingly powerful Dragon-Phoenix Resentful Fiend, it was the only option now.
It was at this moment.
"Chirp chirp chirp..."
The Little Phoenix weakly poked its head out from the Bi Fang Cauldron, making a few chirping sounds.
"Hmm?!"
Hearing the Little Phoenix, Mu Jinyu's expression shifted slightly, then he turned his gaze towards it.
The Little Phoenix weakly nodded its head, indicating for Mu Jinyu to take action.
A flash of hesitation passed through Mu Jinyu's eyes, but he finally decided to give it a shot. If it failed, he'd retreat further!
"Bang!!"
The lid of the Bi Fang Cauldron lifted, and Mu Jinyu struggled to manipulate the massive dragon body within, bringing it out into the world.
"Aowuh!!"
Sensing the immense aura of dragon energy, the Dragon-Phoenix Resentful Fiend roared wildly like a shark smelling blood, engaging more fiercely in its fight with the Dragon Soul.
Meanwhile, Mu Jinyu manipulated the Divine Dragon Soul to shatter fiercely, then reconstruct within the dragon body akin to an iron fortress.
