Chapter 274: Pet Egg

The flames released by the Black Phoenix, like raindrops, fell from the sky, instantly turning the ground into a sea of fire. This sea of fire seemed to be alive, moving along with the Black Phoenix. This was actually the domain of the Black Phoenix.

Zhang San and Li Si activated their domain abilities simultaneously, and the moving sea of fire domain was immediately suppressed until it disappeared. While Li Si's domain almost completely neutralized the Black Phoenix's domain, Zhang San's unleashed domain instantly gained control of the battlefield. The gravity, amplified hundreds to thousands of times, pressed down on the Black Phoenix.

In almost an instant, the Black Phoenix was pressed from mid-air to the ground. Zhang San raised his spear, and under the condensation of Rampaging Dragon Qi, the spear blade expanded a hundredfold, transforming into a giant blade capable of splitting rivers and mountains, and instantly chopped down on the body of the Black Phoenix, further suppressing this powerful divine beast.

At the same time, Li Si swooped down from the sky. All nine heads launched attacks simultaneously. Nine different elemental energies intertwined into a spiral energy wave, fiercely striking the immobilized Black Phoenix on the ground, instantly creating a crater with a radius of several hundred meters, comparable to a meteorite impact.

"How powerful!" Nancilia was stunned by Zhang San and Li Si's skills.

After being promoted by the Demon King, the increase in their strength was astonishingly exaggerated. United, Nancilia felt she couldn't contend against them. With such heavy blows dealt to the Black Phoenix, it would be difficult for it to escape unscathed.



Unfortunately, this phoenix had completely turned insane. The Black Phoenix couldn't be reverted back. This meant that the phoenix had abandoned its wisdom, completely dominated by its beastly nature, becoming a terrifying monster full of anger and destructive desire.

Zhang San and Li Si's attack lasted for a few seconds. They could clearly feel the strong and imposing aura of the divine beast suddenly becoming weak, almost disappearing without a trace. It seemed like a success! They paused their attack and were about to check on the Black Phoenix's condition when, unexpectedly, the nearly vanished aura suddenly surged back to strength. A huge mass of flames burst from the pit, gathering into a majestic phoenix in an instant. Had it resurrected with full health? Zhang San and Li Si were somewhat taken aback.

Nancilia exclaimed in surprise, "Is this the phoenix's ability to be reborn from its ashes?"

Zhang Nu nodded and said, "Correct. The principle of Rebirth from within the Flames involves accumulating the undying sacred fire with its life force on a regular basis. When in battle or at critical moments, it bursts forth all at once, using the sacred fire to achieve instant self-healing and recovery."

"For ordinary people to master Rebirth from within the Flames, being able to use it once every few days is already impressive, because the human body can only hold a limited amount of sacred fire, and the process of storing life force also consumes a lot of time."

"But this phoenix is different!"

Zhang Nu could clearly see that the scale of the undying sacred fire within the Black Phoenix was immense. This was the result of the divine beast's continuous refinement over tens of thousands of years. The essence of the undying sacred fire is consumable, but this reserve was excessively powerful. Unless it's possible to annihilate the Black Phoenix in an instant, faster than the undying sacred fire can be activated, it would inevitably resurrect.

The Black Phoenix realized something was wrong as the flames enveloping its body rapidly dissipated, eventually revealing its true feathers and body. But it was too late; it could no longer escape. Zhang Nu gathered another blast of thunder flame, and the Black Phoenix's body was directly blasted into pieces. Within the body of the Black Phoenix, there was still a large amount of undying divine fire, but this divine fire had been contaminated by the corrupted blood and thus couldn't function properly. Eventually, it didn't resurrect again.

A few minutes later, Zhang Nu received a notification:

[You've slain the Black Phoenix. Gold +20 million!]

This notification confirmed that the troublesome divine beast had indeed been eliminated by him. Zhang Nu nodded in satisfaction.

He extended a hand, and a myriad of blood mist was drawn out from the fragments of the Black Phoenix. This blood, filled with the aura of the corrupt god, was reabsorbed into Zhang Nu's body, replenishing the life force he had expended. As the corrupted blood was withdrawn, the suppressed undying divine fire began to function again. Countless flames were released from the fragments in all directions, converging in the middle and rapidly taking shape.

Nancilia exclaimed, "No, Your Majesty, it's reviving again!"

Zhang Nu remained calm and did not intervene, stating, "No, this time it's different."

The divine fire gathered to form a giant egg, a magnificent golden-red, translucent egg with surging flames inside.

Nancilia's eyes widened, "Is this... a newly born phoenix egg?"

Zhang Nu nodded, "The Black Phoenix's consciousness has been erased, but its soul fragments, possessing a trace of divinity, will not completely perish. After being refined by the sacred divine fire, a new phoenix can be born."

With that, Zhang Nu glanced at the giant egg, and the information about it appeared:

[Undying Phoenix Egg] orange-grade high-quality...

Description: This is an egg that can be carefully hatched, possessing strong life force and the potential to birth a powerful phoenix.

A mythic-class pet egg! This item was definitely worth a fortune.
