Huo Fenghuang felt the terrible aura pressing on her. Based on her knowledge and experience, she knew this power was that of a Dao Ancestor, and it was not a simple 1-Root.
With her current strength, she could barely fight for a 1-Root Dao Ancestor for a short time if she used more detrimental secret techniques.
However, despite the impending danger, she was excited beyond words. Her divination revealed she had a high chance of dying, and now she finally knew why.
'Finally,' Huo Fenghuang thought. She pretended to be scared and mobilized more power of her [Yin-Yang Time Reversal Technique], trying to stop whatever her opponent wanted to do.
However, the Heaven-Devouring Emperor sneered. A sword appeared above his head, and with a little thought, he forcefully destroyed the sealed space of her technique.
"You should be proud you pushed me to such an extent," said the proud and mighty Emperor. Then, he no longer wasted any more time. The sword rushed toward Huo Fenghuang, intending to annihilate her utterly.
However, before the sword could accomplish its tasks, something changed. Huo Fenghuang's troops suddenly appeared in the surroundings, divided into five groups.
Then, a massive phantom of the Five Sacred Beasts flew from them. So, an Azure Dragon appeared on the east side, a white tiger in the west, a black tortoise in the north, a red phoenix in the south, and a yellow Qilin in the center.
Then, these five creatures released five colors corresponding to the Five Elements, turning into Five Element Charts that showed how these elements promoted and canceled each other out.
The Five Element Chart appeared above Mo Xingyun and the sword, followed by a Yin-Yang Diagram below them.
[Five Sacred Beast Seal]
The chart and diagram turned into a robust seal that locked on the sword. Then, this Dao Artifact turned into an ordinary sword. The mighty aura capable of destroying Heaven and Earth was gone; now, it looked like a regular sword created by a mortal blacksmith.
'Done,' thought Huo Fenghuang. Now, she only needs to defeat her opponent and take the Heaven-Devouring Emperor's soul. Subsequently, she will finally have a chance at winning against Wang Wei and Di Tian.
Although it won't be easy even with that secret technique, now there is hope.
"So, this was your plan," said Mo Xingyun calmly. However, his calmness made Huo Fenghuang nervous. Regardless, she remained composed. She immediately decided not to waste time with him in case the situation changed.
Boom!
Her aura increased by a few percent, followed by the entire Central Quadrant turning red.
[Killing Mark]
A weird tattoo or rune appeared on Huo Fenghuang's face. Through them, she could use the Slaughter Qi on the battlefield to boost her strength. Then, she used her most powerful attack:
[Sentient Killing Fist]
Her former Slaughtering Devil Fist only targeted devils and everything that made them unique. And this fist was even fiercer as it targeted all sentient beings. So, whether it was Devils, Demons, Gods, Immortals, Buddhas, Great Emperors, or any of the almighty existing standing at the peak of the pyramid–it targeted them all together.
The existence of this fist had only one purpose for its existence: to kill anything that it wished to.
Boom!
Huo Fenghuang flew backward, the bottom half of her body missing. Upon closer observation, it was easy to detect a sharp object sliced through her ultimate scale. And by the smoothness of the cut, the process was as easy as a sharp knife cutting through soft butter. freewebnσvel.cѳm
"How is that possible?" muttered the proud Phoenix as she looked at the second sword that appeared before Mo Xingyun.
"There is nothing to be surprised about," said the Heaven-Devouring Emperor. "The moment you arrived, I was suspicious of your motive. So, to be cautious, I only summoned a projection of my Dao Artifact."
The Heaven-Devouring Emperor sneered. He was a Dao Lord, and not a regular one–he was the only Dao Lord of the Devouring Dao. Before him, the Devouring Dao was not an Outlaw Dao. No, to be precise, the other people who practiced it–including the Baishe Clan–could only use a limited version of it.
And it is the same for his descendant–Mo Xingyun–and her physique.
However, he cultivated the Devouring Dao to the pinnacle and activated its status as an Outlaw Dao. Furthermore, because of his teacher, he knew in advance about the trial–thus increasing its difficulty by a few percent.
And even then, he still succeeded in passing.
