Chapter 1434 A Hundred Birds Paying Homage To The Phoenix And The Convergence of The Nine Tribulations

Chu Yang and the others sped the entire way.That crimson light shooting straight up into the sky in the far distance was the best beacon showing them the way! In fact, the brothers were too impatient to even go over the tall mountains. The person in the lead straight up merged as one with his sword to speed up the process, shooting right through the middle of the mountain while the rest behind him followed one by one.

Making an absolute straight line there!

Along the way, they also saw innumerous people converging in the same direction.

The crimson light in the sky also remained!

On the first day, Chu Yang and the others traveled a total straight-line distance of 1,500 miles!

This was a terrifying number!

Even though a Supreme Martial Artist could fly for a short period of time, a human’s cultivation was ultimately not infinite! Traveling a few thousand feet in a leap was of course possible, but this leap required an extensive amount of vital energy as a foundation. It was only possible if one activated all of the energy.

In addition, even a Supreme Martial Artist would likely die of exhaustion if he were to maintain such a speed over a long period of time.

In this aspect, Chu Yang and the others finally admitted that they were ultimately not as fast as those huge birds flying in the sky.

It was as if those goddamn birds were racing them. Right from the start, they were already in the sky. The entire way, they were also extremely anxious as they flapped their wings and swooped ahead.

Once in a while, they would lower their heads curiously to look at these seven humans who were speeding ahead furiously.

This doesn’t seem right... Could they also be anxiously heading there to pay their respects to the king of the birds? But... it seems like they don’t look quite right. How come they are running... Why aren’t they flying instead?

Have you heard of any bird in this world who ran instead?

The birds were extremely astonished.

Moreover, they don’t lose out at all to us who are flying...

After much difficulty, they finally saw these few ‘abnormal birds’ coming to a stop. Letting out a long triumphant cry, the birds in the sky flew off into the distance as they flapped their wings!

These strange birds simply don’t have as much stamina as us...

If Chu Yang and the others were to know, they would probably throw up blood neatly at the same time.

But now, the seven of them were so exhausted that they were practically paralyzed. They sprawled all over the ground as they panted heavily.

“I wonder what that bastard Rui Butong is up to. I’m worn out to death this time!” Luo Kedi’s legs spasmed as he lay on the ground and counted the stars. He said viciously, “If I go over this time to see that that bastard is completely fine, I’m going to beat him up so bad that he’ll rise from the ashes again!”

Ji Mo chimed in supportively as he tried to catch his breath. “Exactly! Conduct a little surgery before he revives, so that he’ll turn into a female phoenix after that prick rises from the ashes and revives!”

Mo Tianji panted. “Yes, and give him to Xie Danqiong as a concubine!”

Xie Danqiong who was panting heavily while laughing his socks off suddenly got ‘attacked’ for no reason. Right away, he was stunned for a moment.

Ao Xieyun asked, “Could it be that Rui Butong likes looking for rabbits after he becomes female?”

Xie Danqiong erupted...

After fooling around, a very dissatisfied Chu Yang started to lecture them. “What’s wrong with all of you? How can you talk about your brother like that? This is truly unforgivable!”

When Minister Chu suddenly adopted the attitude of an elder brother, all the brothers were stunned for a moment. Judging from his attitude, it seemed like he meant business. All of them became rather uneasy.

Tears brimmed in Xie Danqiong’s eyes. “Boss is still the best...”

Chu Yang went on furiously. “Even if Xie Danqiong looks like... a rabbit, surely all of you shouldn’t say it out loud? I shall declare now that no one is allowed to say that Xie Danqiong looks like a rabbit from now on! If anyone says that Danqiong looks like a rabbit, we’ll beat that person up into a rabbit together...” Before Chu Yang even finished, tears were already streaming down Xie Danqiong’s cheeks.

Everyone erupted into uproarious laughter at once.

Their laughter was so loud that a few rabbits darted out of the bushes and escaped anxiously.

Ji Mo shouted, “Look, Xie Danqiong’s buddies!”

Right away, the few of them laughed so hard that their bellies started hurting.

All at once, they felt their fatigue reduced by half.

Amongst the laughter, Chu Yang very sensitively noticed that something was a little off with Ao Xieyun. It seemed as though waves of heat were going through him while his body was turning red. His eyes, as he looked at the heavenly fire of nirvana in the sky in the far distance, were also a little abnormal.

“What’s the matter?” Mo Tianji also noticed the same thing.

“Nothing.” There was an anxious and doubtful look in Ao Xieyun’s eyes. “When I saw the heavenly fire of nirvana, the golden dragon bloodline in me suddenly started churning...”

Mo Tianji and Chu Yang exchanged a look, a conjecture popping up in their minds at the same time — Since ancient times, the dragon and phoenix had been equally famous. Could it be that the awakening of the Phoenix race also had a boosting effect on the Dragon race?

When they were a few thousand miles away, they still hadn’t discovered anything amiss with Ao Xieyun yet. But after getting nearer... this... was seriously rather incomprehensible.

Mo Tianji’s lips moved slightly as he sent a telepathy message to Chu Yang. “Act according to circumstances. I would say that this is a fluctuation of his bloodline and definitely not a real awakening... If anything happens at that time... Yours and Duxing’s cultivation are the highest. You must be prepared.”

Nodding grimly, Chu Yang gave Gu Duxing a look.

Gu Duxing remained seated upright and unmoving as he nodded slowly.

After bringing out food and scoffing it down ferociously, they took a short break before resuming their journey immediately.

After another two days of fast and furious traveling, they finally got near the vicinity of the heavenly fire of nirvana.

However, like others, they could only wait 1,200 miles outside, unable to enter.

Rui Butong did not know of their arrival.

In the center of the heavenly fire of nirvana.

Rui Butong was undergoing an unprecedented ordeal.

Rui Butong swore that he would never forget the pain and agony from this time in his entire lifetime!

To the Phoenix race, forcefully burning the bloodline in his body and activating the heavenly fire of nirvana before completely reaching the stage of nirvana was an unprecedented taboo!

It was extremely possible that he himself would be burned into a wisp of smoke in this heavenly fire of nirvana.

But Rui Butong had no other alternative. He knew that if he didn’t activate it, Dong Wushang and Mo Lei’er would definitely die! And Mo Qingwu would definitely be captured by the enemy!

Be it for his brother, for Mo Qingwu or because of Chu Yang’s entrustment, there was no way he could watch all of these happen before his very eyes.

Therefore, Rui Butong activated it without looking back at all! He protected everything that he needed to protect at the first moment. Only then did he launch his attack.

Right now, he could feel every pore, every bit of muscle, every inch of his meridians and every segment of the nerves from head to toe in his body emitting blazing flames!

The great fire burning on the outside was also invading his body constantly and burning everything that could be burned...

This feeling was truly hard to put into words.

Just like someone watching helplessly as his own heart turned into smoke and then watching helplessly again as bits of blood and muscle appeared in the same spot, growing bit by bit as it was burned...

His nerves were constantly being burned. New nerves were then constructed...

In this instant, Rui Butong even wanted to sigh emotionally —”I see survival with my left eye while I see death with my right! I have one leg strolling in heaven and another wandering in hell...”

“This is really like a goddamn poem...” Rui Butong lamented as his body contorted...

At last, the heavenly fire of nirvana shot up into the sky. The spiritual energy in the atmosphere of radius a few thousand miles of where they were converged toward them as though a storm...

Spiritual energy of the universe gushed into and cleansed the four people in the center. Each of their bodies was thoroughly modified by the heavenly fire of nirvana...

Dong Wushang and Mo Lei’er had already experienced this once and knew what they should be doing in this instant. Right away, they sat cross-legged and started to circulate their energy and absorb the spiritual energy.

Mo Qingwu watched the violet flames surrounding her curiously while taking in the changes akin to a rebirth taking place in her body. For a moment there, she was actually rather lost.

She felt as if... she was dreaming again.

Then, she felt her cultivation skyrocket. A vast amount of spiritual energy of the universe, as if an ocean, surged into her from the top of her head, the soles of her feet and from every single pore on her body.

Mo Qingwu closed her eyes involuntarily and started to cultivate. Right away, she felt that bottleneck bridging her ninth-grade Martial Saint cultivation and first-grade Supreme Martial Artist actually come close to breaking apart...

Birds filled the entire sky densely, making up a million in total! In the distance, large flocks of birds continued to fly towards here desperately!

The aura of a ruler descending upon the world permeated outwards in a fascinating manner. All the birds in the world turned crazy.

The momentum this time was much grander and greater than even the previous time!

In the vast and boundless skies, a kind of awe-inspiring presence suffused the atmosphere, as if an ancient divine king was descending upon the world! The area within a radius of 1,200 miles of where they are had already become totally jam-packed with birds!

Yes, totally ‘packed’! However, the place was completely silent!

All the birds stayed where they were quietly. Birds who were natural enemies with each other stood shoulder to shoulder; the strong were indifferent while the weak didn’t care at all.

Occasionally, the sound of fluttering would resound — A bird had fallen off a tree branch. It then provoked furious glaring from all the birds in the vicinity. All eyes transmitted the same message —”How dare you disturb the great king’s awakening. You completely deserve to die!”

An eagle, after being pushed off, actually shook like a leaf under the glares of a flock of sparrows, as though a rooster that had lost a fight...

Countless birds continued to fly over. They were already dissatisfied with their territory of 1,200 miles and were slowly expanding outwards...

At the boundary 1,200 miles outside, Chu Yang and the other brothers looked at each other and smiled wryly. These seven people had been buried by the birds!

The birds at this moment were entirely unafraid of humans. They perched openly on Chu Yang and the others’ hair and shoulders. There were even a few small birds which dived underneath Chu Yang’s clothes at his neckline and were darting about anxiously here and there on his back...

This experience was truly fascinating to the max!

Gradually, Chu Yang actually became unable to see Mo Tianji anymore, even though he was right in front of him — The space between the two of them had already been filled up by countless birds flapping their wings.

Luo Kedi let out a mumble, which caused countless birds to glare angrily at him.

It was because this fellow was rather unlucky. The large bird perching on his head seemed to be having digestive issues recently and was very dispirited. It had only grabbed his hair for a short while when it actually started to excrete again and again...

A sharp-eyed and agile Xie Danqiong secretly reached out and flicked his fingers at Luo Kedi, sealing his meridians. Right away, Second Master Luo could no longer move even an inch...

Second Master Luo, who could no longer move even an inch, felt a certain wet, slippery and warm something sliding down the top of his head and down his neck into his clothes. Dollop after dollop of it slid down his back and onto his buttocks...

He was miserable to the extreme...

At last, it was unknown just how much time had passed when the crisp and clear cry of a phoenix resounded throughout the skies!

At the same time, a wave of energy, as though a series of explosions, suddenly gushed outwards!

It was energy that was given out when several people broke through simultaneously!

Countless birds flew about in jubilation and charged toward the center.

Chu Yang finally regained his freedom. He was about to fly over when he suddenly heard a voice. He couldn’t help but become stunned to the core.

He heard a pleasant voice, as though the sounds of nature, remark, “This is truly fascinating. My cultivation has reached second-grade Supreme Martial Artist after just these short couple of days...”

The voice was jubilant, yet contained a mysterious sense of melancholy, sorrow and a little sadness.

Chu Yang was stupefied.

This was Mo Qingwu’s voice. In addition, it was the voice which belonged to Mo Qingwu... from his past life...
