The time of day was approaching, the Nirvana Festival was about to open, and at the top of Fenglai Mountain, the crimson formation began to glow, the top of the mountain was a brilliant red.
“Boom…”
The flames rose up, enveloping Feng Mingxiao at the centre of the altar. Bathed in the blazing flames, not only did Feng Mingxiao not feel any pain, but his aura grew stronger and stronger.
The nirvana sacrifice is a process of nirvana, using the vitality and essence of others to make one’s own body whole. But in the beginning of the process, the first person to begin the nirvana is Feng Ming Xiao, who is the sacrifice.
Under the effect of the nirvana fire, the fire energy suppressed by the phoenix tears broke through the blockade and became active again. Feng Mingxiao began to regain her strength.
“Niko…”
The clear sound of the phoenix resounded through the sky, and in the midst of the flames, a multicoloured phoenix suddenly took shape, with six elephants and nine buds in its body, and an invisible sense of majesty pressed down on its heart as it looked around.
The phoenix spread its wings, with a wingspan of nearly ten feet, and its wings could almost cover half the top of the mountain. At this moment, Feng Ming Xiao, who was previously as powerless as a fallen phoenix, showed the might that a Tong Shen realm powerhouse should have. The suppression of the life level caused Feng Tian Ming, who was closest, to redden, and a smear of bright red spilled out from the corner of his mouth.
“That’s it, that’s it ——”
The injury seemed to have been triggered by the pressure, but Feng Tian Ming’s face did not show the slightest sign of retreat, instead it was more excited, “This is the power I desire, only with such power will I, the Lord of Great Zhou, be true to my name.”
Feng Tian Ming laughed long and hard, his eyes filled with desire and madness.
Feng Tianming had sacrificed his own sister and his own son and daughter, and what he longed for was to reach the realm of the extraordinary.
And now, the opportunity was right in front of him, within reach.
“Niko…”
The phoenix swooped down with a long cry, wanting to kill this heartless Northern Zhou Emperor on the spot. However, the runes extending from the ground were like chains, tightly binding the phoenix phantasm.
On top of the stone pillar, the Inferno Crystal Chain also came into play, constantly absorbing Feng Ming Xiao’s power and not allowing it to break free from its chains.
“Imperial sister, haven’t you forgotten that the Inferno Crystal Chain is also known as the Phoenix Locking Chain, which is made to restrain Phoenix Tian Ce. If you want to break through the blockade of the Inferno Crystal Chain, you can’t!” Feng Tian Ming looked at the Phoenix Phantasm that was close at hand and smiled smugly.
“Feng Tianming, don’t be complacent, the Nirvana Festival is open and the sound is earth-shattering, you can’t hide it from Chief Meng Shan and Dean Zhuge.” Feng Ming Xiao said with her silver teeth clenched.
At this moment, a red haze had appeared in the sky due to the opening of the Nirvana Festival, and there were multicoloured phoenixes struggling in the air, so anyone who was not blind and deaf in the Mountain River Academy would be able to notice the strange situation.
However, Feng Tianming had already thought of this situation.
“I have already merged with the Nine Dragons Ding Heaven Formation, and with just one thought, I can detonate the formation and destroy half of the divine capital. Feng Tianming laughed coldly.
For the biggest unstable factor in the plan, how could the deep-hearted Feng Tianming not make a consideration?
He had already thought of a response long before, using the people of God’s Capital as hostages in exchange for a chance to gamble on their lives.
“You are simply insane!!!”
Of course, this excellent response in Feng Tianming’s view was the ravings of a madman in Feng Mingxiao’s view.
The divine capital was the capital of a nation, and the last battle at the divine capital had already tarnished the majesty of the imperial court; now if they were to destroy more than half of the divine capital outright, Northern Zhou would also be falling into the abyss completely.
“Betting on the life of a kingdom and your loved ones, Feng Tianming, you don’t deserve to be an emperor!” In the Shan He Academy, Zhuge Long Su fiercely squeezed his palms together, the letter in his hand instantly turned into pieces, and said in a fierce voice.
He really did not expect Feng Tianming to be so vicious, directly threatening himself and his teacher by using the people and the rivers and mountains as hostages.
“Teacher ——” Zhuge Longjue could not help but look towards Meng Shanhe, hoping if he had a way to save the country, which was suddenly on the rocks.
“And let’s see, that person who is hiding in the shadows will not let the Nirvana Festival succeed.” Meng Shanhe said in an ancient well.
“But that person ——”
Zhuge Longjue was really reluctant, placing his hopes on a person who walked in the shadows and was sneaky was not a choice that the always strong Zhuge Longjue would have preferred.
“Don’t worry, I’ll take care of everything.”
In his calm words, there was the confidence of a man who could hold the sky in his hands, the confidence of a pillar of the Northern Zhou.
With Meng Shanhe in place, this Northern Zhou, will not fall.
While the master and his disciple were conversing, on Mount Fenglai, the nirvana ritual was already brewing to the extreme, and immediately, Feng Mingxiao’s true qi and vitality would be extracted to help Feng Tianming’s nirvana rebirth.
Feng Tianming’s eyes were unblinking as he stared at the formation plate, not daring to lose focus for a moment.
The more critical the moment, the more careful he had to be.
Those who take a hundred steps are half-way there.
Feng Tianming, who had always been very calculating, understood this very well. He had not forgotten that he had a rebellious son hiding in the shadows, who might turn on him at some point.
Although Feng Tianming was confident that Feng Jiu’s rebellious son would not be able to stop the Nirvana Festival with Eunuch Leng at his side, it was right to be more careful.
Seeing the aura on Feng Ming Xiao’s body getting higher and higher, Feng Tian Ming’s eyes grew brighter and brighter, ‘Here it comes, here it comes ——‘
Heart keeps murmuring, Feng Tianming can’t wait to try.
It was also at this moment that a pitch-black blade light, coming from nowhere and without any prior warning, suddenly appeared behind the stone pillar and slashed at the Yan Crystal Chain.
The Inferno Crystal Chain had a miraculous effect on Phoenix Heavenly Curse practitioners, but to the rest of the Tong Shen Realm powerhouses it was just a strong chain, not to mention that this blade light looked sneaky, but its name was not small in the Jianghu world.
So, the Inferno Crystal Chain, broken.
“Niko–”
The five-coloured phoenix chirped angrily, its phoenix wings unfurled again, and the phoenix phantom’s body attitude skyrocketed as it was driven by the angry Eldest Princess, and the endless fire of anger fell with a bang.
“The Eldest Princess, calm your anger!”
Eunuch Leng hurriedly raised his hand, the cold energy cooled the boiling fire in the air, and called out, “Eldest Princess, the princes and princesses are still here, if you and I fight, I am afraid that their lives will be affected.”
At these words, the flames reined in a little, but also became more solid, and the gurgling stream of fire, like water, swirled around the figure that had broken free.
“Today, Feng Tianming, the ignorant and dim-witted ruler, will surely die, Eunuch Leng, you cannot stop this palace.”
Feng Mingxiao was determined to kill Feng Tianming, her own brother, even if it meant the lives of her nephews and nieces, Feng Mingxiao would not hesitate to do so.
Feeling the determination to kill, Eunuch Leng’s face was slightly bitter as he sent a message to Feng Tianming, “Your Majesty, why don’t we retreat first and wait until the first month of the coming year to perform the Nirvana ritual?
The light from the previous blade was the Shattering Huan Blade, the masterpiece of that rogue, ‘Huan Yu Blade Sovereign’ Kong Hangkong, and I really don’t have the confidence to deal with both the Eldest Princess and Kong Hangkong.”
