Chapter 544: Chapter 543: Phoenix Fire Rain

Without the support of its race, its cultivation base's growth speed had significantly decreased. If this continued, its chances of becoming an Emperor were extremely slim. Therefore, the Ancestral Court elite competition was the most important opportunity in its eyes. As long as it could ultimately win the championship, or at least enter the top four, even if its own race still rejected it, it believed it would gain the favor and support of other Emperors, who would provide it with sufficient resources for cultivation.It had already lost the doubles match, and failure was not an option in the singles. Coupled with new grudges and old resentments, how could it not be exceedingly envious when it faced Tang San on the competition stage?

Feeling the terrifying bloodline aura of the opponent, Tang San's expression also grew solemn. His adversary was so powerful that if it also had a divine tool, it would probably be very difficult to contend with.

To his slight surprise, Ji Guanlin, although displaying a strong bloodline aura, did not seem to have employed any weapon. However, the blinding golden-red flames kept rising, growing stronger and stronger as if there was no end in sight.

From Tang San, white-gold Vigorous Qi burst forth, which was precisely the Lion Tiger Golden Gang. A pair of splendid golden wings also unfurled behind him. However, what no one saw was that beneath each of those razor-sharp Jinpeng feathers, there were fine scales embedded deep within the wings.

With a flap of his wings, Tang San suddenly ascended into the air. As his opponent, Ji Guanlin's giant phoenix wings also spread out behind her.

Compared to Tang San's golden wings, hers were much larger. With a wingspan exceeding fifteen meters, she powerfully flapped her wings, turning half the sky the same golden-red color.

The fierce golden-red flames constantly devoured all the fire elements in the air, and the golden patterns on her forehead shone even brighter.

Even in the sky, there were faint red clouds gathering, clearly indicating the formation of tribulation clouds. Ji Guanlin indeed had reached the pinnacle of level nine, ready to transcend tribulation at any moment.

In any other place, she really wouldn't dare to fight with all her might, for that could attract tribulation clouds and cause big trouble without proper preparation. But this was the Ancestral Court elite competition, where she didn't need to worry about that at all. With so many Emperors present, tribulation clouds simply couldn't form. Any of these Emperors could easily disperse them.

"Kehe—" Ji Guanlin let out a clear phoenix cry from her throat, and her enormous wings suddenly flapped hard. Instantly, myriad golden-red specks flew towards Tang San's direction.

If one looked closely, they could make out that these were golden-red flames shaped like phoenix feathers, almost covering the entire sky.

Each strand of golden flame feathers appeared as substantial as reality, resembling a vast net unfurling, rushing to envelop Tang San.

Tang San's eyes narrowed slightly, and in a flash, he activated his Skill, his wings beating fiercely behind him, and his speed surged.

After having devoured the Wind Dragon Transformation, his Golden Peng Transformation had evolved to a first-level Bloodline, especially in terms of the wings' capacity for resilience and sudden acceleration, showing significant improvement and able to generate a certain propelling force of the wind element.

The sudden increase in speed even produced a piercing sonic boom, like a bright white light arrow shooting forth. Searᴄh the Nôvel(F)ire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

The Phoenix Fire Rain was incredibly dense; even with the best flying ability, it was impossible to completely avoid it, and Tang San had no intention of dodging. Relying directly on the repulsive force of the Lion Tiger Golden Gang, he dispersed the Phoenix Fire Rain in front of him, propelling himself toward Ji Guanlin like a meteor chasing the moon.

With the experience from previous battles with the Sunflower Spirit Clan, Tang San knew that with opponents like these with powerful bloodline powers, he couldn't let them fully leverage their strengths and abilities, or he would suffer. The best method was to crush them in the shortest possible time.

However, when he charged out of the encirclement of the fire rain and towards Ji Guanlin, he suddenly felt something was off.

The fiery feathers that had seemingly been dispersed didn't get thoroughly pushed away or vanish. Instead, they stuck to the surface of his Lion Tiger Golden Gang. More bizarrely, it was as if there was some inexplicable force attracting the flames to each other, one triggering all. A massive amount of fiery feathers, that once filled the heavens, now rapidly converged towards his body. Tang San felt like a bird caught in a net, his speed not only decreasing but also becoming weaker as he was enveloped by the searing heat, with more and more fiery feathers sweeping toward him.

What a powerful talent skill!

Tang San immediately understood the situation he was up against. Ji Guanlin's move could definitely be described as incredibly subtle and immensely powerful. It seemed that the scattered fiery feathers, once any part of them was touched, would all follow and sweep together. Whilst this required a vast amount of bloodline power, the resulting effect was excellent. Once he was wrapped by these powerful fiery feathers carrying Phoenix True Fire, he would have no chance of escape. A subsequent torrent of more ferocious attacks was inevitable.

Thus, feeling that things were going south, Tang San made his decision. He suddenly flapped his wings, slowing down amidst the entanglement with the fiery feathers. Then, with a forceful opposite flap of his wings, he propelled his body backward, retreating in the direction furthest from Ji Guanlin.

The fiery feathers that were originally closing in from all directions, intended to engulf him, now became disjointed as he flew in the opposite direction. The feathers that had stuck to his Lion Tiger Golden Gang were now being pulled and stretched out. Driven by Tang San, they headed toward the distance. The enveloping fiery feathers also suddenly rolled back, gathering at the point where they touched Tang San, creating a huge trail of fire condensed from the feathers as Tang San flew a kilometer away.

Even Ji Guanlin was stunned by this sight. It had never seen an opponent deal with its Phoenix Fire Rain in such a way before.

This technique was the Undying Fire Phoenix Tribe's guarded secret, only available to those in the tribe with the right of inheritance such as itself.

The Phoenix Fire Rain provided complete control and once someone was stuck, escaping was nearly impossible. Once encased in Phoenix True Fire, the enemy's only fate was to be reduced to ashes. This was why it ignited the Phoenix Golden Patterns right from the beginning.

Tang San didn't pay too much attention to it, but it had been closely observing both Tang San and Pretty Girl. It harbored apprehensions about Tang San's extremely fast flying ability. When it came to flying speed, the Phoenix Demon Clan was not as fast as the Jinpeng Clan. Tang San had showcased tremendous strength in a previous competition. Therefore, it wanted to restrict Tang San in all directions from the start, hoping even if the Phoenix Fire Rain couldn't destroy him, it could at least clip his wings, making it impossible for him to fly and unleash his full potential. Medium to long-range attacks were the strengths of the Undying Fire Phoenix branch, and then it would be their turn to press the attack.

However, Tang San's swift reaction thwarted its plans. The fiery feathers from Phoenix Fire Rain stuck to Tang San's Lion Tiger Golden Gang were indeed in tens and still burning his vigorous Qi. Even if Tang San's Qi was receding, these flame feathers, as persistent as bone maggots, would recede with it, proving very troublesome.

Yet, more of the Phoenix Fire Rain could only follow behind. Influenced by Tang San, they flew brilliantly like a tail flame but were unable to stick to his body. As long as Tang San kept flying, these Phoenix feathers could only trail behind him.

And although the Phoenix Fire Rain was relentless, what kind of energy could last forever once detached from its source? Tang San's expense was the physical effort of flying, while Ji Guanlin's was the Phoenix True Fire.

Moreover, at this moment, Tang San had flipped in the air and was already zooming back, charging toward Ji Guanlin with the Phoenix Fire Rain trailing behind him.
