Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor novel Chapter 788

Huo Fenghuang knew the severity of the situation if the Heaven-Devouring Emperor discovered her true purpose; this would make her tasks a hundred times more challenging.

'I was careless. I should never underestimate any Great Emperor–let alone an Eternal.'

Any being that reaches Tier 10 should never be underestimated. Their long life span meant they would become wise through experience, trial and error, mistakes, and time.

Huo Fenghuang took a moment to calm down.

'Things have not reached the worst-case scenario,' she analyzed. 'The crux of everything is whether I can defeat him in battle.'

Without wasting any more time, she rushed toward him and punched him with immense force. The Heaven-Devouring Emperor evaded the attack with a sneer on his beautiful face. However, Huo Fenghuang did not care, as her objective was not only him but the troops behind him.

Mo Xingyun's face changed when she detected what was happening. He knew there was no chance for her soldiers to block this attack. So, he intervened by creating a swallowing force to absorb the force behind the attack.

However, Huo Fenghuang was relentless and launched punch after punch, targeting these weak soldiers. In the end, Mo Xingyun had to place them away in his space ring.

Then, he suddenly raised his head in the sky and saw he was now inside a barrier created by Huo Fenghuang's troops.

'The previous attack was a distraction?'

Mo Xingyun secretly shook his head as if he did not care. He wanted to swallow Huo Fenghuang's bloodline as much as she wanted to refine his soul. So, the only reason he acted as if he had no intention to fight was to lure her into acting rashly and making a mistake.

'It seems I underestimate her,' he analyzed. It was not easy to calm down in such a situation and make the best choice.

[Yin-Yang Sealing Punch]

Huo Fenghuang punched forward, creating an image of Yin-Yang that rushed toward her opponent. A black hole appeared before Mo Xingyun, and he swallowed the attack.

The objective of this attack was to seal Mo Xingyun's Swallowing Power. Unfortunately, the black hole contained the power to swallow seals, rendering her attack useless.

Huo Fenghuang did not give up and attacked again, still using the power of Yin and Yang. However, the effect of her attack this time was to reverse Yin-Yang, forcing Mo Xingyun to vomit what he swallowed.

Unfortunately, the Heavour Devouring Emperor reached a level in Devour Dao that few people will accomplish in their lives. So, it would be a great humiliation for someone to force him to regurgitate something he swallowed.

Huo Fenghuang summoned her White Tiger Sword, thus releasing a terrifying Sword Will. She slashed her sword, creating a blood-red moon shape slash.

Crack!

Mo Xingyun's black hole cracked. The attack's purpose was to kill 'black holes' and "devour." With Huo Fenghuang cultivating her Killing Dao to kill different concepts, her attack succeeded.

At least, that's how it appeared at first.

Before the black hole was utterly destroyed, an enormous mouth manifested and swallowed it along with the slash.

Huo Fenghuang was frustrated for a moment as two of her most powerful techniques were useless. However, this negative emotion was fleeting; she swiftly regained her bearing and concentrated. The battle had just begun, and the victor was yet to be decided.

She stabbed her sword to create twin dragons of fire and water. These colossal creatures entangled each other as they rushed toward Mo Xingyun.

And, of course, they suffered the same fate of being swallowed.

Huo Fenghuang frowned as she waited for something to happen. Her original objective was to access wherever her opponent stored the things he swallowed: his Divine Sea, Sea of Consciousness, a mutated stomach, or a special dimension.

Then, she would explode it from the inside.

Sadly, she sensed her attack was instantly digested and became the opponent's strength.

"Is that it? Is that all you got?" asked Mo Xingyun with a sneer.

Huo Fenghuang was calm, not affected by the latter's words. Since her previous methods did not work, she changed to another one.

[Heavenly Calamity]

Meteors of Phoenix Flame dropped from all directions. There were so many that it could fill a few galaxies. However, Mo Xingyun was calm, composed, and even nonchalant.

The black hole before him grew from the size of a basketball to the size of a football field. Then, it easily and quickly swallowed all the flames.
