Chapter 478: Double Version of the Phoenix Seeks the Phoenix Song

"Black Dragon, unleash whatever abilities you have as quickly as possible. After today, you may not get another chance to fully demonstrate your power."

Lingyao's words significantly boosted morale, reigniting everyone's desire to fight.

Simultaneously, the Black Dragon's furious aura intensified, seemingly engulfing the entire void battlefield with its unparalleled ferocity. Visually, at least, the Black Dragon still held a considerable advantage.

However, anyone with keen insight could see that without a true dragon's physical body, the Black Dragon's combat power would be severely limited, as would his offensive capabilities. Before receiving the Phoenix lineage's inheritance, defeating these three individuals might have been a mere game for the Black Dragon. But now, facing the strengthened trio, victory would not come so easily.

He would have to pay a significant price for this battle!

"Now!" Yun Shu's voice rang out. Instantly, she established a soul resonance with Murong Jian, further enhancing their combined combat power.

In the next moment, both raised their swords simultaneously, using spiritual energy to conjure a complete "Phoenix Seeks Mate" totem.

"What! They conjured a complete Phoenix Seeks Mate with just two people? That's incredible!" Just then, Elder Bing scoffed, answering Murong Jian's unspoken question.

"What you don't know," Elder Bing explained, "is that the 'Phoenix Seeks Mate' ability is most potent when unleashed by two supreme experts, one male and one female. The version our five of us performed wasn't the true complete form. What these two have inherited is the genuine, strongest form of 'Phoenix Seeks Mate'!"

As Elder Bing finished speaking, everyone quickly verified his claim. The "Phoenix Seeks Mate" totem unleashed by Murong Jian and Yun Shu was a completely different color from the one the five individuals had collectively manifested.

There was a vast difference between purple-gold and true crimson-fire dark gold! Everyone instantly recognized the stark contrast in energy between the two forms; they were incomparable.

At this moment, Murong Jian was enveloped by a golden phoenix, while Yun Shu took on a crimson phoenix form. The two totems intertwined, unleashing peerless, true phoenix flames that completely enveloped the colossal dragon's breath spewed by the Black Dragon.

This time, the two forces didn't merely collide and dissipate. Under the blessing of the "Phoenix Seeks Mate" totem, the phoenix flames seemed to possess the terrifying ability to incinerate all things. Coupled with the further power amplification provided by the duo's incredibly sharp sword energy, the Black Dragon's colossal breath didn't linger for long before being completely swallowed in the void.

The subsequent flame power pushed forward, exerting unprecedented immense pressure on the Black Dragon.

The Darkfiend Dragon remarked, "I can't believe these little insects have become this powerful... The Phoenix lineage's foundation is truly frightening; they've achieved such a transformative rebirth in such a short time!"

The White Dragon added, "The 'Phoenix Seeks Mate' totem power unleashed by these two is far more terrifying than the combined efforts of the five. It seems they've truly received the genuine Phoenix lineage inheritance this time. If we let these individuals leave alive, they will undoubtedly become a grave threat to our Dragon Clan in the future. In today's battle, no matter the cost, we must take action!"

Dragon Six and Dragon Seven, who had been defeated earlier, expressed their readiness for a desperate fight. However, Dragon Five smirked at that moment.

"There's no need to rush," he said. "Reinforcements from all corners of the continent will arrive soon. Do you truly believe that only the four of us want to eliminate these people?"

Unbeknownst to them, at that very moment, hundreds of sects from all directions across the continent were already rushing towards the Northern Frontier, preparing to cause trouble alongside the four Dragon Souls.

In fact, over the years, the instigators of the Nine Dragon Tribulation had not been idly enjoying their status. Instead, they had moved throughout various regions of the continent under different guises, secretly gathering forces and subduing major traditional sects through various means of coercion and enticement.

Currently, more than fifty cultivation sects across the continent had submitted to the Dragon Clan's rule. Once these forces were assembled, they would be quite formidable.

Therefore, the Dragon Souls were not flustered at all. They believed they had sufficient power to counter any pressure from Xu Yang's faction.

Boom!

At that very instant, an incredibly terrifying power erupted once more. Although the "Phoenix Seeks Mate" totem was immensely powerful, it was clearly impossible to perfectly suppress the Black Dragon with this single move alone.

As the tumultuous roar echoed, the entire aerial battlefield was once again plunged into turmoil. The dragon's might was astonishing; feeling the pressure from the phoenix totem, the Black Dragon further swelled its soul form, bolstering its offensive and defensive capabilities.

Simultaneously, several more Black Dragon auras descended one after another... Truly, he was the Black Dragon; defeating him easily was simply unrealistic!

Lingyao also made her move at this moment. She realized that with the combined strength of the two, they could only barely hold their own against the Black Dragon, unable to truly suppress him.

Therefore, Lingyao intervened in the battle at a precisely opportune moment! "Let me show you the suppressive power of the Sword Dao!"

In a flash, Lingyao's divine sword was unsheathed. In but an instant, within the entire sky covered by all gazes, countless sharp sword-lights materialized, seemingly endless.

Every flashing sword-light shimmered with the power imbued with phoenix flame aura!

"My heavens, what am I seeing?" Everyone was utterly stunned by the sight. No one could have imagined that this suppressive effect was generated solely by Lingyao's power.

Long Kun was completely astonished at this moment! "Hahahaha, it's incredible how much this girl's Sword Dao realm has grown!"

However, an even more astonishing scene was yet to come...

As Lingyao began to harness this power, each sword-light in the sky transformed into a completely distinct soul form. These soul forms were, in fact, the embodiment of each of the endless sword-lights' individual sword souls!

"Good heavens, even sword-lights formed purely from spiritual energy possess entirely unique sword souls! What an incredibly high level of Sword Dao mastery is required to achieve this? Even the Sword Saints renowned across the continent tens of thousands of years ago likely didn't possess this level of Sword Dao cultivation..."

Little did they know, Lingyao's ability to reach such a profound realm at such a young age was intimately linked to her past experiences. Without Xu Yang's initial inspiration and guidance, she might have long since been lost to the dust of time.
