Chapter 1387: Extreme Raging Phoenix Flame

In the God Realm, who didn't know the name "Yun Che"? During the Profound God Convention, his appearance was firmly imprinted in the minds of everyone in the Eastern Divine Region thanks to the Heaven Projection.

He was the foremost among the younger generation in the Eastern Divine Region. Having trained in a middle-tier star realm, he became a hero in the eyes of all profound practitioners from both middle-tier and lower-tier star realms.

He wasn't just the champion of the Profound God Convention. Everyone in the Eastern Divine Region knew that the Heaven Emperor God Emperor and the Brahma Heaven God Emperor vied to take him as a personal disciple. The Brahma Emperor Goddess even actively sought to marry him, and the Supreme Dragon Emperor of Chaos publicly declared his desire to adopt him as his godson.

Hailing from the lower-tier star realm of Gangyang, Lin Qingrou, of course, knew who Yun Che was. However, Yun Che was a dazzling star, sought after by even the king realms. She could only gaze at him from afar, never daring to hope for any personal interaction.

Yet today, on this lower-realm planet, she saw someone who looked remarkably like him.

Her cry startled Feng Xue'er and the others. Yun Wuxin asked in surprise, "Daddy, does she... know you?"

"Hehehe..." After her surprised exclamation, Lin Qingrou's laughter rang out. "Interesting! So interesting, to find someone so similar in this world."

Though Yun Che had lost his profound energy, with Su Ling'er by his side, he was well-cared for, both internally and externally. His appearance had also returned to a near-perfect state. Anyone from the God Realm who saw him would immediately exclaim "Yun Che."

But that initial impression would only last a moment. They would quickly realize it was merely someone strikingly similar, certainly not the Yun Che they knew. The real Yun Che was the unparalleled Divine Son of the God Realm, admired by all, while the man before them was merely a nobody from the lower realms, utterly devoid of profound aura.

Moreover, in the God Realm's understanding, Yun Che had long since perished during the Calamity of the Evil Infant in the Star God Realm.

"What a pity," Lin Qingrou sighed languidly. "To possess a face admired by every woman in the God Realm, yet be an utter piece of trash. Your existence is an insult to Divine Son Yun. You should just disappear."

Her voice was soft and charming, like a mournful song, but as her words faded, she suddenly attacked. A burst of fiery light erupted with a flick of her finger.

Although Feng Xue'er's profound energy had already reached the Divine Dao, her combat experience paled significantly in comparison to Yun Che's. She had absolutely no inkling that a woman they had just met, with no prior connection or enmity, would suddenly strike in the middle of a conversation.

Startled, Feng Xue'er instantly surged her profound energy forward, rapidly erecting a protective barrier.

With a muffled thud, the sea below instantly churned violently. Lin Qingrou's power was firmly blocked...

However... behind her, Feng Xian'er, Yun Wuxin, and Yun Che were too close to her, too close to the point of impact. While Feng Xue'er blocked Lin Qingrou's power, she couldn't completely suppress the spatial tremors.

"Ah!!"

Yun Wuxin had grown up in seclusion with Chu Yuechan until she was eleven. After finding her father, everyone around her doted on her immensely; she had never encountered a situation like this. Her first reaction to the shock wasn't to protect herself, but instinctively, she shielded her father with her power.

Feng Xian'er, even faster, poured all her power into shielding Yun Che.

The spatial tremors caused by the colliding profound energy weren't even considered aftershocks. Feng Xian'er, wielding the power of a Monarch, and Yun Wuxin, who had just attained the Overlord realm, were unharmed. However, for Yun Che, who was utterly defenseless, it was a catastrophe he couldn't possibly withstand.

Yun Che's body shattered like glass struck by a heavy blow, innumerable cracks appearing in an instant. Before he could even utter a scream, he had already fallen unconscious... his life hanging in the balance.

Had it not been for the protective power of Feng Xian'er and Yun Wuxin, he would have been torn into countless fragments.

"Daddy!!"

Crimson blood rapidly spread across Yun Che's entire body, staining Yun Wuxin's eyes. She let out a heart-wrenching cry, her hands frantically trying to staunch the bleeding and seal the cracks on his body. Her vision spun... like a nightmare, or the world collapsing around her.

Feng Xue'er turned her head, her face instantly paling. Flames blazed around her as she cried out in a trembling voice, "Go! Quickly, take him to Ling'er! Go!"

His entire body was riddled with cracks, not just on the surface, but also through his internal organs. For an ordinary person, this was a fatal injury!

Everything happened too quickly, too suddenly. Father and daughter had been enjoying their time together, everything was so wonderful. But a terrible nightmare had descended without warning or reason.

"Oh?" Lin Qingrou's eyebrows twitched, seemingly surprised that Feng Xue'er could block her power.

With Yun Che's rapidly gushing blood on her hands, his life force was fading at an alarming rate. Feng Xian'er's reaction was only slightly quicker than Yun Wuxin's; she felt as if she had plunged into an abyss, and in her immense terror, she could barely circulate her profound energy...

Her trembling eyes met Yun Che's ashen face. In that instant, the words of the Phoenix soul spirit from that day suddenly echoed in her mind.

Like a flame of hope igniting in the darkness, she trembled. In her panic, she swiftly produced a crimson feather.

The moment the feather appeared, a strong resonance emanated from Feng Xue'er's soul. She spun her head, her gaze fixed on the feather. The crimson feather, like a cluster of burning flame, radiated an incredibly dense divine aura.

"What is that?" she asked instinctively.

But Feng Xian'er had no time to explain. Flames ignited on the feather, and the blazing light enveloped her, Yun Che, and Yun Wuxin. In the very next moment, it carried them away, vanishing from the spot.

Only a remnant feather, rapidly consumed by flames and dissipating, remained.

"Hmm? Spatial escape?" Lin Qingrou narrowed her eyes but couldn't be bothered to pursue them. Her gaze constantly swept over Feng Xue'er, the jealousy in her heart burning ever more fiercely.

Although she didn't know what had just happened or the nature of the feather in Feng Xian'er's hand, their departure brought Feng Xue'er a measure of relief. Her flames surged, fueled by the fury in her heart. "You and I... are complete strangers, with no grievances or enmity. Why would you act with such cruelty!"

Had Feng Xue'er experienced the God Realm like Yun Che, she wouldn't have asked that question.

Do people from the God Realm need a reason to kill those from the lower realms?

No, not at all!

It's like an ordinary person deciding whether or not to step on a few ants by the roadside; it's not about reason, but mood, or simply an impulsive step.

Yun Che didn't understand the other divine regions, but in the Eastern Divine Region, there was a prohibition from the Heaven God Realm: God Realm inhabitants were forbidden from wantonly slaughtering lower-realm individuals. However, Yun Che knew that this prohibition was virtually meaningless. It wasn't that the various star realms didn't revere the Heaven God Realm, but rather... the Heaven Arbiters couldn't even manage the order within the Eastern Divine Region itself, so how could they have time to concern themselves with the lower realms?

And the lower realms, being bullied and massacred, had no way of reporting to the Heaven God Realm... they weren't even aware of its existence.

Moreover, Lin Qingrou's sudden attack wasn't entirely without reason.

The reason was that Yun Che looked too much like Yun Che!

Not only was Yun Che the foremost Divine Son of this generation in the Eastern Divine Region, but he was also the pride and hero in the hearts of all profound practitioners from the lower- and middle-tier star realms. Lin Qingrou naturally admired him immensely. However, despite being at the absolute peak among her peers in the Gangyang Realm, she wasn't even qualified to grovel before Yun Che.

Not to mention her, even her master wasn't.

For a mere trash from the lower realms to look exactly like him... as she had just stated, it was an insult to "Divine Son Yun." So, she might as well eliminate him casually.

If Yun Che had known the reason for her sudden attempt to kill him, one wonders what he would have thought.

"Hehehe," Lin Qingrou giggled charmingly, her chest and hips jiggling with mirth. "Little sister, it's not your place to comment on who I choose to kill. Speaking of which, they've all escaped. Why haven't you left? Could it be that you want to fight me?"

"..." Feng Xue'er clenched her fists, the flames in her beautiful eyes deepening. She didn't know who this woman was, where she came from, or why she was here. But the woman's recent attack had instantly pushed Yun Che into a deathly abyss. Now, besides overwhelming anger, Feng Xue'er was consumed by fear over Yun Che's uncertain fate... how could she leave!

Lin Qingrou's gaze remained fixed on Feng Xue'er. Even in her extreme anger, Feng Xue'er was dazzlingly beautiful. Lin Qingrou drawled slowly, "Such a beauty like you, if I were to offer you to Master, he would be absolutely delighted. He might even give me many rewards. But after that, I might fall out of favor... how troublesome."

"I don't care who you are," Feng Xue'er said coldly. "If you dared to harm him... today... you... must... die!!"

*Hum—*

The crimson Phoenix flames, swaying violently like a volcano about to erupt, focused an anger and murderous intent on Lin Qingrou unlike anything Feng Xue'er had ever felt in her life.

If Lin Qingrou's master, Lin Jun, had been present, he would have instantly recognized these as Phoenix flames.

But unfortunately, Lin Qingrou, with her shallow knowledge and lack of qualification to even approach the level of the Flame God Realm, could not. Gazing at the blazing flames around Feng Xue'er, she vaguely felt something was amiss. However, she immediately dismissed this unwarranted feeling, a smirk of extreme disdain curving her lips.

"Oh? Playing with fire in front of me?" she said with a grin. "I wonder if your pathetic, lowly flames from the lower realm will be so weak they can't even ignite before the divine flames of the God Realm?"

Feng Xue'er's profound energy was at Divine Origin Realm Level Three, while Lin Qingrou was at Divine Origin Realm Level Five. However, in Lin Qingrou's eyes, Feng Xue'er wasn't just two minor realms weaker. After all, Lin Qingrou's Divine Dao was cultivated in the God Realm, whereas the woman before her had achieved Divine Dao in a lower realm. While it was remarkably rare to reach the Divine Dao in such a lowly, murky world, how could it possibly compare to their noble God Realm?

Not only the Divine Dao, but also their profound arts were incomparable.

Thus, even if Feng Xue'er's profound energy wasn't two minor realms weaker, but at the same level, Lin Qingrou would still only show contempt.

With contempt, she slowly raised her palm, a cluster of deep purple flames igniting within it. But instantly, her brows twitched. The purple flames in her palm were unusually shrinking the moment they flared, as if in fear of something.

Feng Xue'er said nothing, a phoenix silhouette flashing in her pupils.

*Boom—*

With an explosive roar, the flames around Feng Xue'er soared thousands of feet high, painting the sky above and the ocean below a fiery crimson.

In that instant, Lin Qingrou's face stiffened abruptly. The purple flames that had just ignited in her hand extinguished directly amidst a tremble, like a terrified insect.

Space was instantly compressed. The blazing flames around Feng Xue'er spread out, forming a massive Phoenix flame phantom that mercilessly surged towards Lin Qingrou, whose expression had drastically changed.

In terms of profound energy, Lin Qingrou indeed surpassed Feng Xue'er by two minor realms. However, the flame might that enveloped her simultaneously with the profound energy was so overwhelming that it struck her with terror. Lin Qingrou, who had merely intended to casually strike, or even toy with her opponent, actually took two steps back. Her purple flames ignited, and she directly raised her profound energy to eighty percent, confronting Feng Xue'er's furious Phoenix flames.

*Boom—*

Flames blazed across the sky, incinerating all scattered clouds within sight. The sea below dramatically caved in, then spiraled into terrifying whirlpools.

The disadvantage in profound energy pushed Feng Xue'er far back. However, the flames around her continued to rage and boil, the Phoenix flame might showing no sign of weakening. Lin Qingrou, despite appearing to have the upper hand, had most of her purple flames extinguished, and her previously affected expression turned grim.
