The central continent, Purple Rainbow Immortal Palace.

“How could it not work?”

“Could it be that this blood essence is impure?”

“Or is my constitution in conflict with it?”

“That’s not right. Ye Chen said that the bird originally came from the dark phoenix’s bloodline. Even if it underwent a mutation after consuming the Vermilion Bird Fruit and its bloodline evolved, it would still be a dark phoenix in essence…”

Su Fangyun1 frowned, as the problem in front of her had already stumped her.

Half a month ago, when she had returned to the Purple Rainbow Immortal Palace, she had been preparing to enter closed-door cultivation to fuse with that drop of origin blood essence.

She wanted to use the drop of Vermilion Bird origin blood essence she had obtained from Ye Chen to advance her Dark Phoenix Body into the Legendary Divine Body.

Unexpectedly, she was facing her current problem not because she had failed after fusing but because she had no way to fuse!

“What exactly is going on…”Su Fangyun muttered softly.

Right at this moment, in the boudoir where she was in seclusion, a black aura suddenly rolled up.

Following that, a human figure appeared.

It was an evil man in a black robe with red eyes.

He looked at the blood essence in Su Fangyun’s hand and chuckled.

“You want to win the bet just based on this? Fangyun, you’re underestimating me a little too much.”

Su Fangyun looked at him coldly. “How did you get in?”

“Who can you stop with that broken formation of yours?”

The wicked man spread out his hands. “I wanted to get in, so I did.”

Barging in while others were in closed-door cultivation would very likely cause the other party’s previous efforts to be in vain. It might even lead to qi deviation.

No matter what the outcome of such behavior was, it was equivalent to forming a life-and-death feud.

Su Fangyun gritted her teeth. However, no matter how angry she was, she could not do anything to him.

This person was the Senseless Hall’s saint child.

He was already halfway through the Mind Splitting Realm, and his techniques were extremely powerful.

Ordinary experts of the same level would find it difficult to withstand his endless and extremely strange techniques, more so a mere ant of the Mid Spiritual Nirvana Realm like her.

As long as he wanted to, he could easily destroy the entire Purple Rainbow Immortal Palace with one hand.

However, he was more interested in Su Fangyun.

Su Fangyun’s Dark Phoenix Body was very suitable to be used as a cultivation cauldron.

As long as he swallowed all of her cultivation, he would be able to break through to the Mind Splitting Realm very soon!

However, the heart-devouring demon seed in Su Fangyun’s body made him stop in his tracks.

Even he was extremely afraid of such a strange thing.

However, he saw a secret technique in an ancient book that could allow people to exchange their cultivation and physique.

As long as he used this secret technique on Su Fangyun, she could exchange her physique and cultivation with an ordinary person.

Then, he wouldn’t have to be afraid of the heart-devouring devil seed that was rooted in his soul.

However, there was a difficulty in using this secret technique. It would only be effective if both parties were willing to use it.

Thus, he used the threat of attacking the Purple Rainbow Immortal Palace as a threat and asked Su Fangyun to give him up.

However, Su Fangyun was not a pushover who could be easily dealt with.

She had made a bet with the saint son of Senseless Hall.

If she could take three palm strikes from him after three months, he would not be allowed to have any thoughts about the Purple Rainbow Immortal Palace.

If she could not take it, she would be at his disposal.

The wicked man was very confident in his strength and agreed to this request without saying anything.

And today was the last day of the three months.

He wanted to come here and completely shatter Su Fangyun’s confidence.

Seeing that Su Fangyun did not speak, he smiled coldly.

“How is it? Can you take three of my palm strikes now?”

Su Fangyun silently stood up, her eyes were filled with a desolate and beautiful arrogance.

“Why do you need to say so much? You will know once you try.”

“I don’t want to damage your body.”

The evil man narrowed his eyes, “If you admit defeat and willingly give up your cultivation base and immortal body, I can spare your life.”

“The people of the Purple Rainbow Immortal Palace have no way to be afraid of battle.” Su Fangyun’s expression was resolute.

“You’re courting death!”

The black qi around the wicked man surged, and lightning-like cracks continuously appeared on his body.

A power that disregarded everything swept out invisibly.

Su Fangyun didn’t even have time to react as if she had been struck by a heavy blow. Her entire body flew backward, and cracking sounds could be heard as she flew through the air. She didn’t know how many of her ribs had been broken.

Boom!

Su Fangyun crashed into the wall of the palace master bedroom that was protected by the formation and fell out.

Lying on the lawn outside the palace, her body was covered in blood.

She had not even used a single palm, yet she was already so terrifying!

Su Fangyun had long known that there was a huge gap between her and this man, but she did not expect that she would not even be able to withstand his aura.

Her chest felt as if it had been pierced through, and it was extremely painful.

She tilted her head and vomited a few mouthfuls of blood from her heart.

In the next moment, she was stunned.

In the Purple Rainbow Immortal Palace, corpses were strewn all over the mountain. The originally peaceful palace was now covered in a layer of blood.

From the inside of the palace to the outside.

From the top of the mountain to the foot of the mountain.

No one survived.

Even the spiritual beasts and spiritual herbs were destroyed.

It was obvious that the Purple Rainbow Immortal Palace had been exterminated!

The saint son of the Senlou Palace had never intended to let her go.

Today, no matter if he agreed or not, everyone would die!

Su Fangyun was in despair. She was on the verge of death. She could clearly feel her life force fading rapidly in her body.

The wicked man walked over slowly and stood in front of her. He looked at her indifferently.

“I forgot to tell you that I haven’t been idle for the past three months.”

“Have you heard of the soul transference technique?”

“Whether you like it or not, I can peel your soul out.”

“As for this body, I can change it to an obedient soul and enjoy it slowly.”

A hint of panic finally appeared in Su Fangyun’s eyes, but in the next moment, she had already lost consciousness and passed away.

“Ha, you’ve wasted so much of my time.”

The wicked man then took out a small bottle from his waist and chanted a chant. Then, he opened the bottle.

Black aura quickly surged in, bringing out a ball of cold flame from the bottle.

In the heart of the flame, there seemed to be a small person trapped inside.

This was a restrained soul.

“From today onwards, you will live upon my command, and you will die if you oppose it. Do you understand?”

The little man in the flames was trembling non-stop. He must have received a lot of torture, so he nodded without any hesitation.

“Very good.”

The wicked man was very satisfied. The red light in his hand lit up, and he slapped the ball of flames into Su Fangyun’s body.

Then, he sat cross-legged and began to circulate his cultivation technique.

Black qi surged around his body, like Su Fangyun’s corpse.

Not long after.

“Hmm?”

He frowned and opened his eyes. “Why not?”

At this moment, he realized that there seemed to be an orange-red ray of light faintly discernible in Su Hexiyun’s heart.

He was just about to take off his clothes to take a look.

Hua!

A ball of scorching flames suddenly rose up, emitting a heat that was almost as hot as the sun.

The wicked man’s expression changed, and a black aura wrapped around his body as he retreated rapidly.

“Phoenix Nirvana, Vermilion Bird Rebirth, so that’s how it is…”

An ethereal voice came from within the flames.

“Su Fangyun, you’re not dead?”

The evil man immediately recognized this voice. He was both anxious and angry. “You’re playing tricks, so what if you’re Reborn!”

Then, he struck out with his palm!

It contained a power that could destroy the heavens and earth!

The flames that Su Fangyun had transformed into were struck by this power. However, they did not suffer much damage. Instead, because of this power, they soared into the sky and flew into the distance.

Looking at the direction, it was toward the east.

How could the wicked man endure such teasing? Black mist soared into the sky in hot pursuit.

“Su Fangyun, you can’t leave!”
