Chapter 2048 - 1546–1547: Turtle and Snake Mountain in the Hearts! The Dragon Turtle Awakens!

"Caw——"

A resounding phoenix cry suddenly pierced through the clouds and fog, emanating from within the Holy Mountain.

Under the intense gaze of Jiang Dali’s mighty tiger-like eyes, the magma inside the Holy Mountain churned, and a massive crimson egg suddenly burst forth with a dazzling light so red it appeared golden, transforming abruptly into the form of a giant bird, soaring out from the magma pool.

Rumble rumble rumble——

Dozens of surrounding volcanoes trembled in unison, but quickly settled down under the influence of a powerful auspicious energy, while the scorching temperature continued to climb the moment the enormous Fire Phoenix flew out of the Holy Mountain.

"The Fire Phoenix! It’s finally resurrected, hahaha!"

Jiang Dali laughed heartily, watching as the Fire Phoenix, like a blazing ball of fire, burst from the volcano’s mouth, hanging high in the sky like a brilliant crimson-gold sun.

Rays of red light scattered from its body like rockets, illuminating the mountains, reflecting fiery light that simmered like boiling oil, and evaporating the moisture in the air into diffusing mist.

Blaze blaze blaze——

For a moment, the entire sky over Divine Iron City seemed gilded, and the vast cloud layers appeared ablaze.

The many pine trees in the mountains sweated from the heat, their resin liquefying like water, dripping from the trunks, releasing a rainfall of pine scent everywhere.

"Caw——"

The Fire Phoenix spread flame power in mid-air, singing joyously, seemingly celebrating its rebirth from nirvana, then suddenly dived down like a shower of fire, circling above the Holy Mountain, stretching its neck upward, affectionately calling to Jiang Dali.

Jiang Dali suddenly leaped up, the illusion soul gold armor wrapping him so that he appeared as a golden armored War God, ’flying’ as he landed on the Fire Phoenix’s back.

Immediately, temperatures nearing ten thousand degrees Celsius surged, forcing him to swiftly enter the state of the Divine Demon Golden Body to avoid being burned.

!

"Caw——"

The Fire Phoenix gazed at Jiang Dali with eyes like rubies, its gaze still faintly retaining the demeanor of the Fake Phoenix of bygone days, with a look of inquiry.

Jiang Dali reached out his large hand, stroking the Fire Phoenix’s feathers like blazing swords, sending out a divine intent.

"Let’s go! We’re heading to the Sky!"

At the same time, he sensed the qi mechanisms of the Azure Dragon and Fire Qilin in the distant Holy Dynasty surging.

Evidently, these two divine beasts also sensed the qi mechanism after the nirvana rebirth of the Fire Phoenix, and were equally invigorated by it.

The three divine beasts, separated for thousands of years, finally felt each other’s qi mechanisms once more, and it was in a state of peak, unfallen purity. An indescribable and immense auspicious energy began silently brewing and converging in the heavens and earth.

No one noticed this wondrous state following the birth of the auspicious energy, not even Jiang Dali.

However, within the Sky, Zhu Wushi felt it most profoundly; he sensed that the fallen black mist within the Sky had begun to thin and dissipate.

Where previously visibility within most of the Sky was only about five meters, it had now increased to roughly fifteen meters.

"Has Brother Jiang’s major action finally commenced?"

Zhu Wushi stood with his hands behind his back before a hollow filled with swirling black mist, his majestic dragon eyes turning to gaze at the hollow shrouded in black mist below.

As the fallen Heaven and Earth’s Intent receded, the Heavenly Pool Black Mist continued to dissipate, gradually revealing the mysterious state within this long hidden Heavenly Pool Forbidden Land, where at times an aura of extreme evil and corruption emerged from its depths, causing chills even to Zhu Wushi.

"Inside this forbidden land, what exactly... is it the Ancient Demon God of bygone days fallen?"

As Zhu Wushi pondered seriously, he suddenly sensed something, the blue and white in each of his pupils flashing, as an extremely powerful Heaven and Earth Will suddenly expanded, locking onto a spot.

With willpower refined to the atomic level, he fiercely struck that spot in the void.

A ripple spread through the space, and two consciousness waves emerged from the void.

"Zhu Wushi..."

One of the consciousness waves transmitted spiritual sensing, speaking coldly, "Now that the Black Wind Village Chief is about to resurrect the Four Spirits, using their auspicious energy to dispel the fallen Heaven and Earth’s Intent within the Sky, I’m afraid that from now on, the balance of Heaven and Earth Will within the Sky will be disrupted. Having devoured so much of the Heaven and Earth Will, what are your thoughts on this?"

"Leader of the Strange People..."

Zhu Wushi locked onto the will of this leader of the Strange People supported by the Earth Intent, lightly chuckling, "So Brother Jiang intends to resurrect the Four Spirits to dispel the fallen Heaven and Earth’s Intent within the Sky. This indeed is a great deed for the benefit of the world, and naturally, I admire and support it! The fact that you two came to ask my opinion, could it be you still refuse to give up your resistance against Brother Jiang?"

"How could that be?!"

The two family heads both felt a shock in their hearts, immediately denying.

"Prince Zhu, the reason we sought you out at this time is not to sow discord between you and the village chief of Jiang Village, but rather because there are some circumstances you should be aware of. After all, the village chief of Jiang Village is sometimes indeed too arbitrary and even stubbornly self-willed... For example, this grand feat of gathering the Four Spirits to purify the Sky is certainly a great boon for the world’s welfare.

However, have you considered that once the fallen Heaven and Earth’s Intent within the Sky is completely eradicated, henceforth, no longer constrained by the fallen Heaven and Earth’s Intent, whether you or us, those of us who have controlled the Heaven and Earth’s Intent, will face the hostility and reckoning of the awakened Heaven and Earth Will."

"Indeed!" Another master of the Hu Family said gravely, "If the fallen Earth Intent is completely dissipated, the fully pure Earth Intent consciousness inevitably will no longer remain in deep slumber; by then, it will definitely be beyond our control. Are you truly willing for all the Earth Intent and Heavenly Will you painstakingly devoured to slip out of your control?"
