Chapter 1328: The Battle of the Phoenix Clan

According to the Fox King Sovereign's warning, the Dragon Race is formidable in attack and skilled at wielding elemental powers of various attributes. In contrast, the Phoenix Race's greatest strength is fire.

Furthermore, the leaders of both races are currently the two most powerful Beast King leaders, second only to the Niu Wang Zun.

The Fox King Sovereign also cautioned that the Phoenix Race leader possesses the power of Nirvana rebirth. The Dragon Race leader, on the other hand, can not only summon wind and rain and manipulate other elemental forces for attacks, but also, to a certain extent, draw upon the inherited power of the Beast King Race.

However, this power is not inherent, unlike the other Beast King leaders among the Ten King Sovereigns who possess complete inherited power of the Beast Emperor Race within their bodies. The Dragon Race leader's connection to the Beast Emperor Race's power is truly an external transmission.

Moreover, this power does not fluctuate with the Dragon Race leader's form. It's akin to a cultivation technique passed down from a master to an apprentice in the human world, rather than a sealed injection of the master's own intrinsic power into the apprentice's body.

There is a fundamental difference between these two forms of power. In other words, the Dragon Race's strong members are effectively embodying a portion of the Beast Emperor Race's true power, making them truly formidable opponents.

Acquiring this additional information was invaluable for Xu Yang's team. It instilled in them immense confidence for the upcoming holy war.

Before this, their understanding of the Dragon and Phoenix races was virtually nonexistent. Even Xu Yang, a god-tier expert who had acquired the inherited power of both races on a previous continent, found them remarkably unfamiliar. In his view, he was merely a visitor to the Yingzhou Continent.

After concluding their campaign against the Fox King Sovereign's clan, Xu Yang continued to lead his team toward the Yin and Yang Two Realms Wind ahead. "Damn it, Boss," Qinglong exclaimed, "do you feel how strange the climate is here?

For some reason, ever since we left this mountain path, I've felt both hot and cold. Am I the only one experiencing this?"

After posing this question, Qinglong quickly looked at his teammates nearby, and received similar feedback from Xuanwu's clone and the Baihu youth.

Only Xu Yang remained perfectly calm, showing no signs of discomfort.

"It's perfectly normal," Xu Yang replied. "Your physical bodies have adapted to the unique system of the Yingzhou Continent. Therefore, any sufficiently strong force within this continent will trigger a conditioned response in your bodies.

I, however, constantly maintain a state outside the Yingzhou Continent's rules, adopting an observer's perspective. Thus, whatever I do on this continent's battlefield, I remain unaffected by its inherent laws.

This is precisely why my power wasn't affected by the white-haired elder's rules when I fought him earlier. For one, the rules he established were simply too weak to impact me.

And secondly, as I just explained, even if his rules were strong enough to restrict me, they would still have no effect."

Indeed, conversing with Xu Yang was often a humbling experience. His realm far surpassed everyone else's, and whenever he offered an explanation, it felt like looking up at a deity.

This time was no exception. Shortly after, an extremely violent fire-attribute power from the surrounding space surged directly toward Xu Yang and his team.

The potent fire elemental force manifested as a colossal inferno. Upon noticing this anomaly, Xu Yang immediately unleashed his Phoenix Domain, altering the form and structure of the surrounding fire energy. In mere moments, he neutralized the heat's invasive effect on his teammates.

"That's strange, Boss," Qinglong mused, "since your power is also an inheritance from the Phoenix Race, how can your domain so easily dissipate the fire elements these phoenixes unleash?"

Xu Yang offered a serene smile. "That's because the inherited power I possess originates from the Phoenix God's true essence, and it comes from the Phoenix God of a much higher-tier world—my home world. How could the phoenixes of this mere Yingzhou Continent, a pocket world, possibly compare?"

Only then did Qinglong and the others fully grasp the situation, silently giving Xu Yang another thumbs-up for his immense power.

"That's incredibly imposing!" Qinglong exclaimed. "To defeat an opponent with their own most proficient power—that's the mark of a true master! But seriously, Boss, isn't using such power a bit demoralizing for them?

Those weaklings of the Phoenix Race might just be provoked to suicide if they see you act like this!"

Xu Yang was indeed amused by Qinglong's absurd flattery this time.

Before he could respond, the spiritual energy of the Phoenix Race leader, emanating from above, descended into his mind.

"Insolent humans, daring to mock our Phoenix Race behind our backs and trample upon our dignity! Today, you shall experience the might of the Phoenix Race's flames. I refuse to believe that your unorthodox fire domain can dissolve our Phoenix True Fire!"

The Phoenix King Sovereign was immensely confident in his lineage's inherited power. How could he have known that Xu Yang wasn't from the Yingzhou Continent at all, but from a true grand era where gods coexisted? The power of the Phoenix lineage on this mere Yingzhou Continent was utterly insignificant to him, like a drop in the ocean.

Indeed, the moment Xu Yang finished speaking, he unleashed a truly devastating attack without hesitation, directed at the Phoenix King Sovereign, leader of the Phoenix Race.

An incredibly powerful primordial force erupted instantly, locking onto the Phoenix King Sovereign's true form. The concentrated power of the flames, the moment it appeared, brought an unbelievable shock to the Phoenix King Sovereign.

"How is this possible?" the Phoenix King Sovereign exclaimed. "There's a fire-attribute power in this world stronger than my Phoenix Fire!"

Fearing the flame unleashed by Xu Yang, the Phoenix King Sovereign decisively chose to vanish from thin air, forcibly executing a spatial transfer to evade the opponent's spiritual lock.

Unfortunately, the moment the Phoenix King Sovereign first appeared, escape was already impossible. No matter where he went, he could not evade the tracking power of Xu Yang's Phoenix God inheritance.

"Trying to escape? You won't get that chance," Xu Yang said. "However, I'd like to play a game of cat and mouse with you. From this moment on, you are free to hide your spatial location to evade my arrows."

As Xu Yang spoke, he suddenly produced another one of his personal treasures.
