Chapter 1331: Hunter Falcon Clan Attack

“All members of the Falcon Clan, attack the territory of the Phoenix Clan at Twin Peaks at all costs! Slay the Phoenix Clan, devour their bloodline power—the opportunity to become the King of Birds is at hand!”

As expected, among those who came to watch the spectacle, there were also those with ulterior motives, seeking to take advantage of the situation. Countless Falcon Clan warriors, tens of thousands of their kin, began a frantic charge towards the gathering place of the Phoenix Clan at Twin Peaks.

The strength of the Phoenix Clan was naturally incomparable to that of the Falcon Clan. However, the Falcon Clan had endured for so many years, accumulating strength and biding their time, so their overall combat capability was no longer what it used to be.

More importantly, with tens of thousands of Falcon Clan warriors suddenly attacking the hundred-plus members of the Phoenix Clan who were already physically and mentally exhausted, they felt quite confident of victory; it was almost a sure thing.

However, they never dreamed that Xu Yang, the powerful human who had originally been attacking the Phoenix Clan, would suddenly turn his attention to these invaders who sought to take advantage of the situation.

“Heh, since when did the opponents I, Xu Yang, choose become something you, a bunch of petty, insignificant nobodies, could barge in on and interfere with? It truly seems that if you’re given an inch, you take a mile!”

Xu Yang mocked these overconfident Falcon Clan warriors in a nearly sarcastic tone. Then, he slowly turned around, standing on thin air, his eyes shining like stars.

Next, the Lamenting Battle-Axe artifact once again appeared in his right hand. With a horizontal swing towards the countless Falcon Clan members before him, in that instant, the land itself seemed to wail in sorrow. The formidable edge of the Battle-Axe artifact, as it spread outwards, shone with extreme brilliance, resembling a guide of the grim reaper, madly harvesting lives.

How could the Falcon Clan have anticipated such a development? Their leader had already fixed all his attention on the Phoenix Clan, completely disregarding who or what power had caused the Phoenix Clan’s current passive situation.

And when all this unfolded, as the light from Xu Yang’s Battle-Axe artifact spread forth, the Falcon Clan leader and his warriors were utterly dumbfounded.

They had no opportunity to make any other choices or decisions to regret. Destiny had already cast its light of judgment upon them.

With just that single attack, thousands of airborne Falcon warriors, all powerful beings, were turned to dust, obliterated by the aura of this ultimate power.

The entire process unfolded in a single, silent instant.

The Falcon Clan, originally full of zeal, had over half its numbers wiped out by Xu Yang’s single strike. They lost all interest in daring to kick the Phoenix Clan while they were down. “You presumptuous cowards, how dare you try to take advantage of others’ misfortune?

You truly brought misfortune upon yourselves. Even if the Phoenix Clan is to face a great catastrophe, it will be I, Xu Yang, and I alone, who brings such a catastrophe upon them.

None of you other beast clans have the right, let alone the power, to do so.”

Xu Yang’s voice was clearly meant for the other powerful beast clan members to hear.

And his deterrence had the desired effect.

Those who had originally been eyeing the Phoenix Clan greedily, hoping to get a share of the spoils, all settled down completely.

“My god! The Falcon Clan truly has bad luck. To actually encounter such a formidable human expert! Provoking someone of this caliber, they can only resign themselves to fate.”

Leaders of several other clans nearby secretly breathed a sigh of relief. “Fortunately, I wasn’t as quick to act just now. If I had charged forward like that hothead from the Falcon Clan, I suppose we would be the ones shattered to pieces now.”

Indeed, with Xu Yang’s powerful intervention, he completely suppressed the restless ambitions of all beast clans in the Central Plains battlefield. No other clan dared to show their face or challenge Xu Yang at this critical juncture.

As time slowly passed, the Phoenix King, who had entered nirvana prematurely, had also gathered enough powerful energy to begin his second rebirth in his life.

The endless phoenix flame energy surrounding him transformed into the purest essence of life force and streamed into his body. During this time, not only did Xu Yang show no intention of stopping him, but he even, in his capacity as the Phoenix God, sent forth an essence to aid the Phoenix King.

As expected, with the infusion of Xu Yang’s power, the Phoenix King’s nirvana process was nearly halved in complexity. This was entirely because Xu Yang’s power was simply too immense, instantly supplying more than half of the total energy required for the Phoenix King to complete his nirvana.

Furthermore, Xu Yang’s power was the purest bloodline inheritance of the Phoenix God. Its concentration was naturally far superior to the fire-attribute energy the Phoenix King had absorbed from his surroundings.

Receiving this bestowed guidance from Xu Yang, the Phoenix King’s mindset subtly changed. Deep down, he no longer saw Xu Yang merely as an enemy who threatened his position, but rather as an emissary from the ancestral Phoenix God, and had even placed Xu Yang’s identity and status above his own.

When he reopened his fiery red eyes, the Phoenix King had completed the entire process of his second nirvana.

A sharp phoenix cry suddenly rang out. He spread his wings and soared into the sky, manifesting before everyone in the perfect form of ‘Phoenix Dance of Nine Heavens’.

“My heavens, look at the Phoenix King’s strength! After this nirvana-induced enhancement, he must have achieved his second breakthrough, just like the Ox King. His power has advanced by leaps and bounds!”

Qinglong exclaimed this, while the White Tiger youth beside him couldn’t help but ponder.

“Boss Xu Yang really knows how to court trouble. Why did he still help the Phoenix King enhance his strength? Could it be that, like before, he wants to gain the Phoenix King’s approval on a spiritual level as well?

I always feel that getting the Phoenix Clan to bow down is incredibly difficult. More importantly, the power increase from nirvana might provoke an even stronger desire for resistance in the Phoenix King.”

In reality, the White Tiger youth’s judgment was not without reason, but he overlooked a crucial point: Xu Yang was no longer merely an enemy of the Phoenix Clan. Instead, he was confronting the entire Phoenix Clan, including the newly reborn Phoenix King, in his capacity as the inheritor of the Phoenix God’s legacy.

This unique identity itself could infinitely bridge the unfamiliar gap between Xu Yang and the Phoenix Clan.

And as the current leader of the Phoenix Clan, how could the Phoenix King not consider this crucial point?

How to ensure a peaceful resolution to today’s confrontation between both sides was the answer he most desired.

“I thank you for your recent assistance, which allowed my nirvana to complete perfectly. My current strength has greatly surpassed my former self, and a significant part of that, naturally, is thanks to your contribution. I consider myself indebted to you.” A smile immediately bloomed on Xu Yang’s face.
