Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Boom!

Black flames erupted forth and converged to form a massive black fireball which instantly engulfed An Lin.

Shangguan Yi had already begun a frantic retreat when she detected that the black phoenix was about to unleash a powerful technique, but she was still caught in the explosion and a few burns had appeared on her fair skin.

“An Lin!” Mo Hai roared with rage.

As the black flames continued to wreak havoc, An Lin suddenly appeared with a film of blue light around his body as he began to plummet toward the ground.

Parts of his skin were slightly charred, but he was able to avoid any severe injuries as his Heavenly Ice Silk Garment activated at the last moment, thereby allowing him to successfully evade that fearsome attack.

An Lin looked up at the mountainous mass of black flames in the air as he fought to stabilize his body.

The effect of the Heavenly Ice Silk Garment could only be activated once within a short period of time, so he would not be so lucky next time.

Shangguan Yi and Mo Hai both heaved sighs of relief after seeing An Lin emerge relatively unscathed.

“You’re supposed to be one of the Divine Generals of the Ancient Man Tribe, but it appears your vows are no different to your farts!” An Lin said with a cold voice as he looked up at the ball of black flames in the sky.

The black flames parted to reveal the black phoenix within.

There was still black blood flowing from the wound in his chest, but his aura was just as powerful as ever.

The black phoenix glanced at An Lin with a cold expression. “I am the mighty Divine General, black phoenix, I do not need to explain my actions to anyone!”

An Lin’s lips twitched at his words. He had never seen someone break a vow with such a justified expression.

“White phoenix!” The black phoenix summoned.

The white phoenix rose into the air from the center of the sacrificial altar.

A powerful aura burst forth from its body alongside holy flames that were imbued with the fearsome power to purify everything in its wake.

“Go take care of those two, I’ll take on the last one and show him what true strength looks like.” The black phoenix glared at An Lin as if he was trying to kill An Lin with the killing intent in his gaze alone.

The white phoenix let loose a shrill cry and flapped its wings as it flew toward Mo Hai. The white flames around its body glowed like the sun as they threatened to incinerate the entire world.

Mo Hai’s body trembled slightly as he sensed the fearsome power of the white phoenix’s flames. “Who would have thought that there would be a legendary divine fire mutant beast here, how exciting!”

He let loose a thunderous war cry as the “vanquish” character reappeared on his Divine Phoenix Disc, and an ancient power merged into his saber, which then slashed down toward the white phoenix.

Boom!

A crimson blade projection collided with the white holy flames and a resounding boom burst forth as the shockwaves from the clash instantly razed the surrounding mountains in a radius of several thousand feet to the ground!

Mo Hai flew back in retreat, and his body was scorched red by the flames but his eyes remained extremely clear and bright.

The white phoenix pounced toward Mo Hai once again, but Shangguan Yi had already entered the fray, and she slashed her frosty longsword toward the white phoenix…

“Alright, all the bothersome distractions are gone, are you ready to endure your very own personal hell?” The black phoenix looked down upon An Lin as his expression reverted to its original expressionless facade.

“A man who treats his vows like farts in the wind doesn’t have the right to flex at me, the mighty Sword Immortal An Lin.” An Lin looked up at the black phoenix with a scornful expression on his face.

The black phoenix harrumphed coldly as the projection of a black phoenix suddenly appeared behind his back.

The projection was several thousand feet in size, and it looked down upon the everything as if it were the overlord of this world as it spread its pitch-black wings to obscure the entire sky.

Its eyes were like a pair of black holes emanating extremely fearsome might as they glared down at An Lin.

It had to be said, this projection was extremely fearsome to look at.

An Lin narrowed his eyes, and an extremely powerful aura burst forth from his body.

His eyes became pitch black as a black cape materialized on his shoulder, which fluttered gently in the wind.

A wisp of black also appeared around the Evil-Slaying Sword, obscuring its aura but somehow making it appear even more dangerous.

The space around An Lin began to fall silent as a deathly aura rippled around his body.

The black phoenix was a little envious of An Lin’s flashy get-up. He kind of wished that he had a flashy technique like that himself.

But he soon laid those thoughts to rest as he said with a cold voice, “Your techniques look good but they hold no substance and now it’s time for you to die!”

The black phoenix pointed a finger at An Lin from afar and the projection of the black phoenix behind him opened its mouth to spew forth an endless stream of black flames which swept toward An Lin and instantly engulfed the ground below in a radius of a thousand meters!

A huge pit of molten lava was soon melted into the ground by the flames.

The black phoenix knew that An Lin wouldn’t be able to evade such a large-scale attack and was just about to smile in triumph when his expression suddenly faltered at the sight of the scenes unfolding before him.

An Lin’s cape completely enveloped An Lin’s body and kept all the black flames at bay.

The cape rustled and the flames around An Lin immediately dissipated.

He blasted himself forward with Evil-Slaying Sword in hand and instantly appeared in front of the black phoenix as he slashed down with his sword!

The black phoenix reacted immediately and threw a fist at An Lin’s sword.

Boom!

The clash between sword and fist immediately created powerful shockwaves which radiated outward in all directions for several kilometers; even some of the clouds in the sky were dispelled by the power of the shockwaves.

An Lin’s body flew back through the air, and his blood surged in his body as he spat out a mouthful of blood.

The black phoenix only retreated a half-step and a vicious smile appeared on his face.

The projection of the black phoenix spread its wings wide, and its feathers transformed to become a series of black flaming swords which descended upon An Lin.

Each of the flaming swords possessed extremely fearsome power, equivalent to an all-out attack from a Soul Formation Final Stage cultivator, and there were over a hundred of them flying toward An Lin at once!

An Lin’s steadied his body as his black cape transformed into a flowing blacking river in front of him before then taking on the shape of ninety-nine black vortexes, all of which were imbued with the power of nullification to form an extremely resolute barrier.

Boom—

The black flaming swords fell like rain upon An Lin, but the black vortexes stood resolutely in their way.

The black flaming swords were soon all nullified by the black vortexes, and the vortexes converged to form the black cape again, and it settled once again on An Lin’s shoulders.

An Lin charged toward the black phoenix with a cold expression while wielding his Evil-Slaying Sword.

The humanoid wolf trembled uncontrollably as he looked at the ongoing battle between An Lin and the black phoenix.

Never would he have thought that his master could injure the divine leader, and he was absolutely shocked to see An Lin seemingly fighting on par with the divine leader. The black phoenix was one of the Divine General, for god’s sake!

Even though the bulk of his power had been sealed away, his strength was still far above the Soul Formation Stage. But An Lin was only at Soul Formation Initial Stage, how did he have the power to stand up against such a fearsome opponent?

The humanoid wolf looked up at An Lin, and a sense of admiration appeared in his heart for the very first time.

The black clouds slowly began to part in the air.

A crimson moon slowly appeared in the sky.

The light of the moon shone down, staining the entire landscape crimson…
