1110 Depressing Mood
Blue Phoenix faced a slight dilemma. The best option to counter Hong Wa's technique was to use a Pure Yin State, but she knew her understanding and application of Pure Yin could not compare to the opponent. So, it would be in her best interest to use a technique that suited her better.
[Ice Phoenix Transformation]
Blue Phoenix's body released an intense blue light, rapidly transforming her into a colossal blue Phoenix with blue flame on her body that released cold mists. She was beautiful, majestic, and the embodiment of nobleness.
Blue Phoenix chirped, and her voice echoed in the minds of countless people in the void, making their bodies tremble as if they were cold. Blue Phoenix looked at Hong Wa with her beautiful voice, and a moment of hesitation flashed in her mind.
After proving the Dao, she completely purified her bloodline to become a pure Phoenix. One of the abilities that she acquired was a heightened sense of danger. Now, she was sensing danger from Hong Wa.
'No matter what, I cannot back down now,' she thought.
[Frozen World]
At the beginning of a world, there is a period where Yin and Yang are divided; in that period, the Yin and Yang worlds existed. The Yang or Flame World has the most intense heat, while the Yin/Frozen World is the area with the coldest ice or chill. Blue Phoenix recreated that period of creation with this attack.
Hong Wa watched everything with an unfazed look and attitude. Slowly, she headed toward her opponent. Every time the chill touched her body, it was instantly purified into the purest energy between Heaven and Earth, which she could absorb for her use.
Pure Yang rejected anything she decided was not pure, including objects, attacks, and concepts. So, even the coldest chill between Heaven and Earth became nourishment for her.
"No," said Blue Phoenix, but Hong Wa ignored her. She appeared before slashing her swords. The phoenix's body created an ice armor, but the sword purified the ice instantly to chop her into pieces.
Blue Phoenix reacted by changing her attack to focus less on the body and attack the Soul; in other words, she focused less on ice and more on the Yin aspect. However, Hong Wa's Pure Yang State protected every aspect of her body, so the Yin Energy was also purified.
The sword strike cut Blue Phoenix into two despite her attempt to freeze the cut-off part as a healing tactic. However, the purifying power inside her body worked against her. Hong Wa went for a second strike, targeting the soul this time around.
"No," roared Blue Phoenix as she resisted to no avail. However, at the last minute, right before she entered Limbo, she used a brilliant technique. She froze the concept of death on herself, delaying the time she died.
'Do you think I will die so easily without taking you down with me?' Blue Phoenix thought as she amassed all her hatred and obsession. Hong Wa sensed something and wanted to run away. Sadly, it was too late. Blue Phoenix cast a curse that combined her hatred, obsession, and Pure Yin Dao.
If Pure Yang is the embodiment of all that is pure, then Pure Yin is the opposite; they complement each other while also being opposite. Once the curse hit, Hong Wa's body turned pale, and her pure white armor rapidly turned dark. To combat the corruption, she released a more intense light.
"Hehe, if I have to die, you'll come with me," sneered Blue Phoenix, and Hong Wa blasted her into smithereens with a blast of white energy - she then focused on preventing the spread of the corruption. She succeeded in putting a temporary seal after a quarter of her armor turned white, but Hong Wa knew she would suffer once she dispersed the armor.
Hong Wa exhaled deeply, taking this opportunity to overview this fight. She glanced at the Demon Suppression Swords.
'Everyone was right. I relied too much on these things.' She relied on these swords to survive the turmoil of the Demon Supremacy World - she knew she would not survive without them. As such, she grew attached to them, considering them as another limb. During her training to prepare for this battle, she spent much time on the weapons, achieving a level on par with 5-fold. However, Blue Phoenix's method rendered them useless, so she could only rely on her real strength of peak 3-fold.
