Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San

Silver light flickered, making Pretty Girl's long dress seem even more ethereal. Those expanding silvers were layered space gates; each was incredibly distinct. Even space elements would burn up in the Phoenix True Fire, so these space gates were also continuously disintegrating. Yet despite this, the function of the space gates persisted. While being burned, they also devoured a massive amount of the Phoenix True Fire, swallowing it into their own space and causing it to vanish without a trace.

Therefore, the overwhelming Phoenix True Fire at that moment seemed to have found an outlet, ceaselessly pouring into the space gates near Pretty Girl and diminishing rapidly.

Pretty Girl held the Heavenly Mechanism Feather, gracefully dancing amidst the space gates, tracing light doors that expanded outward wherever she went. It seemed she didn't even need to use her spatial attribute domain; solely relying on these space gates allowed her to make the Phoenix True Fire invading her space be devoured and disappear. She herself merged with the space, becoming like a black hole, devouring that fierce energy.

Witnessing this scene, White Tiger Great Demon King couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, and his frown eased a lot as well.

Cao Yuwei naturally felt it too. It was very profound in cultivation base, and this bit of consumption meant nothing to it. It could sense that Pretty Girl was expending energy while drawing the space gates as well. However, the degree of her consumption was much less than its own. Her control over the spatial attribute was exquisitely deft, almost like using a small force to move a large weight. Although its Phoenix True Flame Domain had a strong impact, she always managed to avoid the main force and only the weakest flames that burnt upon the space gates were ever swallowed.

Was this another application of Star Shift?

No attribute was weak; it all depended on who used it and how they utilized the characteristics of that attribute. Of this, Cao Yuwei was very clear. This young girl from the Peacock Demon Clan had such profound knowledge of the space elements at such a young age, indeed surpassing its expectations. Of course, this still couldn't change its perspective. In its eyes, all these efforts were futile. It was just a slight delay in the inevitable end of the battle.

Cao Yuwei stepped forward with the Phoenix True Fire underfoot, walking ahead. The Phoenix True Fire didn't shy away from being devoured by Pretty Girl; instead, it grew stronger, forcing Pretty Girl to move the Heavenly Mechanism Feather even faster, tracing more space gates to resolve it.

Cao Yuwei's eyes emitted a faint blue glow as he slightly opened his mouth, and a blue flame shot straight toward Pretty Girl's direction.

As the blue flame streak shot out, something strange happened: the phoenix flames within the Phoenix True Flame Domain rapidly converged into the blue streak, making the blue even brighter. Wherever that blue flame went, it gave a sense of nothingness.

The Void Fire, also known as the power of annihilation fire. It was the signature skill of the Undying Fire Phoenix lineage, a powerful ability that could only be awakened beyond God Rank. It could cause all energy to be annihilated. Wherever it hit, it would create an annihilation field that obliterated all energy. Devoid of energy, whatever remained would naturally face the scorching of the Phoenix True Fire. Used in conjunction with the Phoenix True Flame Domain, it was almost invincible—extremely formidable.

Facing the Void Fire, Pretty Girl's expression grew solemn. She could clearly feel the immense threat the Void Fire posed. If she was scorched by this flame, all her bloodline power would be extinguished in an instant, as if under a dispelling spell, leaving her unable to use any abilities for a short time and destined to die in the Phoenix True Fire.

The blue flame finally reached her, and upon contact with the space gate, it almost instantly disappeared into the twisting light, with the Void Fire burning even more vigorously and suddenly lunging at Pretty Girl.

But at that moment, Cao Yuwei was surprised to see that young girl's mouth slightly curve up, revealing a smile in his direction.

Under the pressure of such rank, there was no way she could escape his domain. At the Great Demon King level, he was already a top-tier powerhouse. Equipped with the talent of the Undying Fire Phoenix lineage, even when facing the peak of Great Demon Kings, he had the power to fight. With his powerful domain characteristics and the annihilation strength of the Void Fire, how could she still smile?

In the next instant, he saw Pretty Girl raise her left hand, gently snapped her fingers, and in a flash, a cluster of seven-colored flame lit up at her fingertips. A spark of seven-colored flame shot out, landing precisely on the Void Fire.

What was that?

Including all the Emperors present, a hint of doubt arose in everyone's mind.

...

"Little Beauty, what do you think, if the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox gave you the choice of an opponent at the Great Demon King level, what race would it be?"

"How can you guess that! While there aren't particularly many species with a first-level bloodline, there definitely isn't a shortage either. The emperors of the past, as well as the current ones, all belong to species of the first-level bloodline."

"What if I told you I could guess?"

"Why would you be able to guess?"

"Because I have insight into the hearts of demons! Think about it, the primary goal of the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox is to prevent you from passing the test, right? Therefore, the opponent he chooses for you is bound to be one that has a strategic advantage over you in terms of attributes. From this perspective, we can eliminate many species. For instance, the Golden Mammoth Tribe, they lack speed and possess only brute force, which is exactly restrained by your spatial attribute. Even though the Behemoth giant beast is strong, it's not adept at dealing with your unpredictable abilities."

"That seems to make some sense. So, what kind of opponent would be chosen for me?"

"The Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox's objective may not only be to prevent you from completing your duty, but there might also be a threat to your life. Therefore, we absolutely must identify who your opponent is. When you face life-threatening danger, I will feel it instantly, and I will definitely help you at once, so you don't need to be afraid."

"I'm not afraid. I have you."

"Mhmm. But the best scenario would still be for you to hold on until the third challenge before I intervene for the optimal effect. At that time, as long as you pass the test, no matter how reluctant he is, he won't be able to stop you from successfully completing your duty. So, we still need to identify your opponent clearly, so you can win the battle smoothly."

"Well, tell me, which race will it be?"

"If I'm not mistaken, the likelihood of it being the Phoenix Demon Clan is the highest because, in terms of bloodline, the Phoenix Demon Clan can suppress your Peacock Transformation. Moreover, the Phoenix Demon Clan and the Peacock Demon Clan are sworn enemies, so they definitely won't show any mercy. Therefore, the Phoenix Demon Clan is the most probable. Among them, the Undying Fire Phoenix line is the strongest. So I predict that the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox will likely choose the Undying Fire Phoenix Demon King as your opponent."

"Why not the Crystal Phoenix Heritage? Our rivalry with the Crystal Phoenix Monster Clan is a matter of life and death."

"It won't be the Crystal Phoenix Monster Clan. Trust me." Enjoy new adventures from empire

"But why?"

"You'll find out later; it's not the time to tell you now. So, if your opponent is from the Undying Fire Phoenix Demon Clan, then at least we can be sure, you won't be in any mortal danger."

"Didn't you just say that the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox might want to kill me? And since the Phoenix Demon Clan has enmity with us, why would there be no life threat? Do you have that much confidence in me?"
