[Nightmaretama (185): hey theo the phoenix tears symbolize loyalty the phoenix girl is offering her absolute loyalty by giving her tears.]

…

"I am the 4th generation of phoenix, Feng Tian. Welcome to the Phoenix Tomb."

The phoenix flapped its wings, sending a gush of hot air.

"Heh? It's not winter, so you don't have to send that hot air to warm up the room." Theo's eyes turned cold. Not only did he send out the worms to welcome them, but he even taunted him with that flap.

"I'm merely welcoming outsiders into this place. I can sense that your bloodline doesn't match anyone that I have seen in this world. I don't know what is going on, but it seems that you are not from this world," said Feng Tian as his expression turned dark.

Both Theo and Feng Tian were ready to fight before Feng Xiaoling came between them while shouting, "Please stop!"

"Huh?!" Feng Tian furrowed his eyebrows. "Move away, little brat!"

Theo suddenly jumped into the air, causing Feng Tian to raise his head. He hurriedly increased the essence of his body to protect himself.

On the other hand, Theo had gathered his Space Element in his fist and punched down, expanding the space downward.

"Ghhh?! What is this?" Feng Tian's body looked flattened with that punch. His main body was fire, so it was surprising that it could be suppressed like this as if he had a physical body.

This action actually shocked Mia. This was the first time her father made his move first, especially after someone intervened in the fight.

He might look like he was pissed, but that didn't seem to be the only case. She couldn't help but wonder if this phoenix was actually someone else who pretended to be Feng Xiaoling's ancestor.

Feng Tian was also fighting back. His body gradually dissipated, but the flame that was scattered around suddenly moved toward Theo and reshaped his body around Theo, trying to engulf him with that blazing body.

Theo created a space around him to prevent the fire from touching him. However, Feng Tian had gathered some energy in his throat before releasing everything from his mouth.

The barrier was still in place, but it was melting at high speed. All of a sudden, a giant clown appeared on the phoenix's back. It grabbed the phoenix and pulled its body back.

"What? How is this thing able to touch me?" Feng Tian let out a cry as the fire flared up.

Theo then punched the phoenix once again. Instead of expanding the space, Theo was actually shrinking the space in front of his hand. As a result, the fire had to get compressed to match the shrinking volume.

"!!!" Feng Tian hurriedly channeled all the fire toward the outside to escape from the clown's grasp. At the same time, he flapped his wings toward Theo, sending a wave of hot air with a temperature high enough to burn the skin.

"No! Please wait!" Feng Xiaoling tried to stop them, but to no avail. Feng Ling had to hold her back so that she didn't do any harm.

Mia was the only one questioning this fight. She didn't know why her father suddenly attacked the phoenix, but it was clear that her father meant no harm. If he truly wanted to kill this phoenix, the first thing he would do was call his spirit.

Since her father only fought with his illusion and space element, there should be another meaning behind it.

Theo spread his arms.

Toon Demon's Second Authority, Toon Territory.

All of a sudden, ice formed in this blazing place. This ice soon expanded in all directions, unable to be melted by the temperature. The fire was frozen in its state and the hot air turned into a chilling wave.

"What?!" The phoenix widened his eyes in shock. He didn't expect that Theo would be able to control the environment.

On the other hand, this was actually an experiment. He wanted to know the limit of his demon power. How extreme could he make his environment?

Even though he didn't reach the temperature where absolute ice could form, it was enough to change this hot environment.

Feng Tian noticed that his fire was suppressed by the temperature around this place. Theo only managed to change everything within a hundred meters radius. So, maintaining this power should take a toll on his body.

If that was the case, there was only one thing he could do.

Feng Tian flew forth while thinking, 'I just have to make you exhaust all your energy before beating you.'

Theo couldn't help but smile. It wasn't because Feng Tian fell for his trick, but because he underestimated the demon's power.

Even with this ridiculous ability, he didn't consume a lot of energy. In fact, it was the same as when she changed other terrains.

In the end, the environment was changed through illusion. So, he could go from one extreme to another. Unfortunately, he didn't have any experience with absolute ice's temperature, so he didn't know how it would feel.

'In that case…' Theo raised his left hand.

Toon Demon's First Authority, Toon World.

Multiple ice spikes emerged from the thick layer of ice. Feng Tian tilted his body to avoid these spikes, but the latter actually expanded.

"What?! Ah!" Feng Tian gritted his teeth. Three spikes ended up piercing his wings and body, stopping him.

Theo became even more excited. This fight was only an experiment for him.

It seemed that the Space Dao could be fused with his demon power. With the Space Dao, his Toon Territory could be expanded to a certain degree. Even his Toon Territory could be changed in size depending on how much space element he put into the illusion.

During the fight against the Fist Emperor, he tested the combined power of his gravity staff and the Space Dao.

But this was good too.

Theo took out a book from his space ring and opened it. He raised his right hand and started forming multiple patterns in the air. "Something like this…"

"That's… an array?!" Feng Tian widened his eyes before feeling something weird. "No. That's not an array!"

Sadly, he couldn't do anything as he watched a huge array form in front of him. The array shot out multiple chains that bound his entire body.

"Ah!" Mia gasped, finally understanding what her father was doing. This phoenix was an enemy, but it wasn't the kind that they were used to.

Mia couldn't help but say, "Is this a trial?!"

"Trial?!" Feng Xiaoling and Feng Ling were bewildered.

Feng Tian suddenly stopped struggling as he said, "Correct. This is the first trial."

"It's no wonder that my father suddenly attacked you!" Mia gasped. That was right. This was also one of the cliches. In fact, they should face something like this in the Fist Emperor tomb.

Because they didn't encounter any trials except for the simple riddle, she had forgotten about this. A secret realm like this should have a trial for inheritance.

She couldn't help but remember what she was saying to her father before the Fist Emperor's tomb.

"Father. What do you think about the Fist Emperor's tomb? Would we have a trial?"

"A trial?"

"Yes, a trial. I'm thinking that we will be arriving at a grand palace where there are a lot of trials, from labyrinths to fighting a powerful opponent. There is a chance that we might even fight Yue Yi during the trial. It's the usual stuff," Mia explained.

"A trial, huh?" Theo fell into deep thought at that time.

But because of the Fist Emperor's tomb, she didn't expect that the author was actually using this cliche a bit too late.

"So, the monsters that are hiding under that magma river are also a part of the trial?" Mia asked while pointing at the bridge.

Feng Tian looked at Theo before sighing. "It seems that your daughter has interrupted the fun."

"Eh?" Mia blinked her eyes a few times, not understanding what he was talking about. But when she thought about it, it seemed that she had made a mistake. If talking like this would stop the trial, her father would have done it if he wanted.

But he was actually disappointed that he couldn't go to that mountain range to fight a lot of beasts. That was why he wanted to fight with this phoenix's ancestor to have some fun.

"…" Mia's face turned pale as she noticed the mistake she had made. The clues were already there. Those earthworms and mysterious monsters were supposed to attack them, but because Theo ran past them easily, Feng Tian had no choice but to come out.

Theo closed his eyes while saying, "It doesn't matter. There are other trials as well. Besides, if I get a bit too serious, I might end up causing this place to crumble."

Feng Tian couldn't help but raise his head, noticing that there was a crack in the sky. It was small and most of them wouldn't notice it, but as someone who fought Theo, he could sense that crack and even find it. "Fair enough."

Theo returned to his daughter, whose hands joined together while apologizing. Theo only patted her with a smile. "It's not a problem."

"I think you can do whatever you need to do for them. In the end, I'm here as someone who opens the path and enjoys the process." Theo looked at Feng Tian.

"Certainly." Feng Tian nodded in understanding as he looked at Feng Xiaoling. "You little girl… Your bloodline is pure, but I'd like you to think more before you act."

Feng Xiaoling opened her mouth but was unable to come up with a reply.

While Feng Tian reprimanded his descendants, Theo gave Mia the comment so that she didn't feel too guilty about it. In the end, this wasn't a part of their plan.

Mia looked down for a moment before deciding to reply to the comments as low as possible so that she didn't disturb Feng Tian.

"Comment 'exp' and 'first?' Is there a comment like that? I don't think I have seen them before. Maybe spam comments for the sake of something? I'm not too sure. Maybe the author doesn't show it here."

"The second comment doesn't make sense. And I don't think it's related to what is happening here."

"As for the last comment… Thank you for the information. Yes, the first tear seems to be perceived that way. But in the end, my dad won't take it. Maybe he will exchange it with something else and punish that girl from doing something rash by having her follow him. Now that's a good idea. With this kind of plot, I'm sure that this girl will receive something good. She might be suitable to help Mother in the Demon Realm."
