Chapter 462: Revenge Battle

"Cut the nonsense, Old Phoenix. In that battle years ago, your primal essence was severely damaged. Even with your Phoenix Undying Body, you can never again condense divine essence for the rest of your life. I believe I'm not wrong about that, am I?"

The Old Phoenix scoffed, "That's right. So what? Are you trying to tell me you've become a god?"

"Haha, I don't have that ability. But you are currently just a soul body yourself. My four brothers and I fighting you and that human kid should have a very high chance of winning."

The Old Phoenix nodded noncommittally. "If it's truly four against two, then yes, as you say, our chances are indeed minimal. I can confirm that. However, when did I ever say I would personally participate in the battle?"

As soon as the Phoenix Battle Soul uttered these words, the four dragon soul auras in the sky all trembled, and everyone seemed to be confused.

"What do you mean by that? Not fighting?"

*Zing!*

In an instant, the Phoenix leader suddenly let out an astounding cry towards the heavens, and everyone was completely stunned by the sight.

From Sky-Cloud Valley, in the direction where the seal had previously been broken by the Phoenix's soul power, an endless stream of auspicious light rapidly surged forth!

Seven-colored radiant clouds soared into the sky from Sky-Cloud Valley, drawing the attention of everyone nearby.

Immediately after, the Phoenix spread its wings mid-air and simultaneously sent out a soul message to Yun Shu and the others below. Led by the Phoenix's soul body, everyone quickly rushed towards Sky-Cloud Valley.

"Hmph, trying to escape? Old Phoenix, that feint of yours is far too clumsy! All four of our dragon souls are here. If you manage to escape, what honor would my Dragon Clan have left?"

The Phoenix Soul let out a cold laugh. "If your elder brother were here personally, perhaps he'd have some reason to be proud. But you? Heh, you're just a bunch of five-clawed worms. When has my Phoenix Venerable ever even glanced your way? Pathetic."

"Stop them!"

The Black Dragon, instantly enraged by the Old Phoenix's insult, immediately ordered its dragon brethren to attack Xu Yang and the others.

"Long Kun, cover them!"

"Understood, boss!"

At Xu Yang's command, Long Kun instantly shifted position, soared into the air, and blocked the attacking path of the Darkfiend Demonic Dragon's soul.

"Yun Shu, Murong Jian, Ling Yao, you go first!"

Yun Shu was about to hesitate, but seeing the solemn expressions on everyone's faces, she ultimately cast aside her concerns, helped Murong Jian onto her unicorn, and quickly retreated.

"Elemental Mages, buy time for these Profound Gate maidens!"

"Understood!"

Boss Bing also stepped forward at this moment, leading the other four elemental mages to immediately activate the combined ultimate totem power of 'Phoenix Offering Phoenix', defending against the white dragon soul.

Xu Yang unhesitatingly fixed his gaze on the most mysterious dragon soul.

Although this one was only ranked fifth, everyone could see that its strength was not inferior to the Black Dragon's in the slightest. More importantly, its specific attributes and its complete dragon soul form were currently unknown.

The Old Phoenix's target was now clear: it was naturally the Black Dragon.

With four dragons battling four defensive forces, the grandest confrontation in the Northern Frontier finally began.

Xu Yang's four strongest combatants were undoubtedly buying as much time as possible for the Profound Gate lineage.

The soul message the Phoenix had just sent to everyone contained only one instruction: they were to hide within the seven-colored auspicious rainbow that soared into the sky. Once inside, they would be absolutely safe.

"Hahahaha! A bunch of arrogant ants! I'd like to see how much power you have left now!"

Leading the charge, the Black Dragon unleashed an incredibly powerful dragon essence energy sphere. Potent black dragon energy, wrapped in dense black flames and interwoven with streaks of lightning-like light, surged directly towards the Phoenix Totem.

The White Dragon's attributes were also unique, and despite being a female dragon, it showed no weakness in attack power. In fact, when enraged, this female dragon became even more explosive than the other dragon souls!

A wave of its aura crashed down, indeed putting immense pressure on the 'Phoenix Offering Phoenix' totem.

Long Kun, on the other hand, was doing relatively well. Although he alone wasn't qualified to fight a dragon soul, perhaps due to the Phoenix leader's presence, part of his phoenix bloodline had awakened, significantly boosting his combat strength in a short period. He barely managed to withstand an attack from the Darkfiend Demonic Dragon, which was the weakest of the four dragon souls currently.

Originally, the Darkfiend Demonic Dragon's peak combat strength was higher than the White Dragon's, but it had just been heavily wounded by Xu Yang, severely depleting its vitality. With the other three dragon souls nearly at their peak, the difference was evident.

*Boom!*

The next moment, the Phoenix exhaled a stream of seven-colored true fire, engulfing the Black Dragon's soul essence. The others also unleashed their strongest ultimate techniques.

Three dragon breaths collided with three resisting forces, erupting in an earth-shattering roar of power.

The entire void, at that very moment, was thrown into a state of intense distortion!

Endless blackness... seeped out from countless mottled void cracks, and all light in the sky was swallowed.

The vast Northern Frontier fell into absolute silence and darkness for a full minute, as if the end of the world had arrived. All souls struggled and roared in terror, as a true scene of doomsday enveloped every living being in the Northern Frontier.

"Retreat!"

As this apocalyptic scene slowly subsided, the light in the sky began to re-coalesce. The Phoenix Totem seized this opportunity, swiftly leading Long Kun and the five elemental mages away from the battlefield.

However, as the commotion gradually faded and the battlefield scene reappeared, everyone was astonished to see that Master Xu Yang and the special dragon soul known as 'Old Five' were inextricably entangled!

"What?!"

"Boss! He... he seems to be in trouble! I need to save him!"

Long Kun, Ling Yao, and the others were utterly dumbfounded by this sight. Their initial instinct was to rush back to the battlefield. However, at this moment, the Phoenix Totem had already carried them thousands of meters away, nearly halfway from the core of the battle.

"Don't worry, your boss will be fine. He has his own commitments to fulfill, and only when you are all safe can he focus entirely on fighting the enemy! Even if he can't face four dragon souls at once, he has enough means to escape."

The Phoenix's soul message descended, giving Long Kun and Ling Yao no further chance to act recklessly. It immediately protected everyone, guiding them straight towards the direction of the light.

Meanwhile, above the main battlefield, the three dragon souls who had intended to pursue simultaneously halted, locking their attention onto the direction where Old Five and Xu Yang were locked in confrontation.

"It was you... you killed Sister Nine and Brother Eight!"

The voice of Dragon Soul Old Five seemed to tremble slightly; clearly, it was on the verge of berserk rage.

"It seems you should be a little clearer with your words."
