Chapter 755: Achievement of the Phoenix God

"What is he doing?"

Tongguang and his two companions, who were closest to Long Kun, instinctively began to panic. The moment Long Kun closed his eyes, an incredibly powerful aura radiated from his body—something they had never witnessed before.

"If my judgment is correct, this should be the moment a cultivator within the All-Heavens system transcends, breaking free like a butterfly from its cocoon to ascend to godhood. It's called 'Questioning Heaven'!"

Tongyi stopped playing her flute, gazing in awe at Long Kun, who was now nearing the highest point of the clouds in the void. Everyone else also ceased their actions and looked up, staring intently.

"My heavens, look! Is that... Lord Long Kun? What's happening to him?"

"I'm not sure, but I know that he must be at his most powerful right now."

The five hundred warriors in the Cloud Heaven Battlefield, recently saved by Long Kun, were all fervently praying for him.

Just then, in the center of the vast sky, an incomparably magnificent, fiery phoenix totem slowly emerged. Formed from countless clouds, this stunningly beautiful apparition stretched across the sky, eclipsing the sun.

Immediately afterward, Long Kun ascended into the sky, carried aloft by the phoenix totem. In that moment, he seemed to be the sole protagonist above the entire outer plains battlefield of Moonless Heaven.

"What's going on?"

Meanwhile, Xu Yang and his two companions, who were rushing towards the main battlefield, couldn't help but pause in mid-air, captivated by this unparalleled visual spectacle.

"A phoenix in flight... Long Kun must be undergoing the 'Questioning Heaven' ascension!" Xiaohua spoke excitedly. While she was no stranger to this sight, recalling her own ascension still sent shivers down her spine.

"This isn't good... He's near the Western Battlefield, and I'm worried someone might try to interfere. We must go immediately and protect him! He's the first person in my team whose ascension I've personally witnessed; nothing can be allowed to happen to him."

As Xu Yang spoke, he immediately appeared near the Western Battlefield, escorted by the two goddesses.

Simultaneously, various colored Dao techniques from the All-Heavens rapidly converged around Long Kun's body. Endless, mysterious inscriptions, invisible to others, poured into his mind.

In front of him, a trial from the All-Heavens also manifested.

"Mortal, do you wish to ascend to immortality? Then demonstrate your most powerful strength, prove your worthiness and capability."

As this voice slowly resonated in his mind, Long Kun seemed to grasp its meaning completely, knowing exactly what he needed to do.

The next moment, he calmly withdrew all his aura and sat cross-legged in the void. His soul detached from his body, ready to face the trial of the All-Heavens as a 'Questioner of Heaven'.

"Now! All five of us will combine our efforts and launch a fatal assault while he's at his weakest. If we succeed, no one in the Western Battlefield will be able to stop us."

It was Tongsheng who uttered these words. As a military leader of the Flowing Cloud Dynasty, he was willing to resort to any means necessary to conquer his opponents.

Five streaks of light simultaneously shot skyward, heading directly for Long Kun as he meditated.

In other sub-battlefields, Spirit Master Ling Yun and others also noticed this dangerous development. Unfortunately, they were too far away to provide immediate support.

Long Kun, in his excitement, hadn't made further preparations, unaware that he was indeed in his most vulnerable state at that moment. Tongsheng's assessment was entirely accurate.

If they could severely wound Long Kun's physical body at this critical juncture, forcing him to fail the 'Questioning Heaven,' he would never be able to condense a divine spark again in this lifetime, and his path to higher cultivation would be irrevocably severed.

Xu Yang had initially returned intending to prepare his subordinates for a unified 'Questioning Heaven' ascension. However, he hadn't anticipated Long Kun reaching this limit prematurely, making it impossible to repeat the process.

"Hahahaha, boy, you're still too inexperienced. To dare to undertake 'Questioning Heaven' in the middle of a battlefield, who do you think you are?"

Tongsheng's azure, serpent-like divine artifact had already shot forth, aimed directly at Long Kun's forehead.

Just as the divine artifact was about to pierce Long Kun's body, an incomparably potent, colorless energy aura suddenly materialized, forming a powerful protective shield that perfectly enveloped him.

The aura of this individual was so immense that the elemental fluctuations in the surrounding space couldn't even be identified. Weaker individuals couldn't even perceive this transparent outer layer of energy.

"How could this be?"

Tongsheng and his four companions were utterly bewildered. In the very next moment, Xu Yang appeared with the commanding presence of a deity, manifesting in a god-like form. Everyone across the entire plains battlefield clearly saw him calmly crush Tongsheng's aura shield and effortlessly clench the divine artifact in his palm.

"My heavens, he... he just crushed that divine artifact with his bare hands?!"

Everyone gasped. Tongsheng, looking as though he had swallowed a dead rat, stared at Xu Yang in disbelief.

"How did you do it!"

Xu Yang smiled. "You know nothing about power, you waste. You dared to touch my brother. Die."

With a casual wave of his hand, all six spiritual vortexes within Xu Yang activated simultaneously. With just one hand, he effortlessly drew Tongsheng into his palm from thin air, firmly gripping his neck.

"Let go of our leader!"

Tongyi and the others roared in fury. Awkwardly, their outrage only hastened Tongsheng's even more agonizing demise and ultimate destruction.

A sickening crunch! The sound of bones fracturing echoed repeatedly. Tongsheng was utterly pulverized, never even managing a single struggle in front of Xu Yang.

"Next, it's your turn..."

Thus, the twenty thousand soldiers in the Cloud Heaven Battlefield region of the Flowing Cloud Dynasty watched, heads craned upwards, as their five most revered imperial generals were, one by one, crushed by Xu Yang like mere chicks, leaving nothing but dust.

"Ayang, what should we do with these Flowing Cloud Dynasty soldiers?" Empress Isis's voice reached Xu Yang's mind.

"Kill them. Leave no one alive!"

Isis's current cultivation method was the most bloodthirsty, a factor Xu Yang considered when entrusting this task to her.

Soon, Isis's exquisite figure, like a black nightmare, silently appeared above the heads of the Flowing Cloud Dynasty soldiers.

"The King's command has been given. All of you shall die."

A colossal, blood-red shadow materialized out of thin air, swiftly enveloping every soldier on the battlefield, relentlessly devouring their very soul essence.

Subsequently, a vast quantity of primeval 'Seal Sleep Essence' merged into Isis's body, compressed and refined alongside the power of their blood.

Although this young woman possessed only a single spiritual vortex, the cultivation technique she practiced granted her both extreme agility and speed, and the unique ability to absorb 'Seal Sleep Essence' through devouring.
