Chapter 3589: Blood Battle

The Tiger Phoenix Butterfly was about to kill Ye Yunfei when a massive crimson fire dragon lunged, radiating astonishing high temperatures.

With a gentle flap of the Tiger Phoenix Butterfly's wings, the void twisted and deformed. A spatial vortex materialized, uncontrollably drawing the crimson fire dragon into it, where it dissolved into specks of light and vanished.

Seizing this opportunity, the nine Nascent Souls also flew into Ye Xuanji's sleeve.

With another soft flap of its wings, the Tiger Phoenix Butterfly disappeared into the void.

Tong Shan performed a hand seal, causing the Soul Extinguishing Disk to glow brightly. It shot out countless slender black rays directly at Qian Gang and Luo Qian.

The two dared not face it directly and quickly cast defensive spells.

Qian Gang had just been severely wounded by an attack from the Soul Extinguishing Disk.

Tong Shan possessed two Profound Heaven Treasures—one specializing in soul damage and the other for offense—along with an eighth-rank Tiger Phoenix Butterfly, making him extremely powerful.

Ripples spread above Ye Xuanji's head, and a black hole several zhang wide materialized, from which the Tiger Phoenix Butterfly emerged.

The moment it appeared, a whooshing sound echoed, and a large barrage of black fist shadows shot forth, tearing through the void.

With a gentle flap of the Tiger Phoenix Butterfly's wings, the void twisted and deformed, and a massive spatial vortex appeared. The black fist shadows successively entered the vortex, vanishing without a trace.

A dazzling golden orb flew out from Ye Xuanji's sleeve, hovering above her head. It emanated a blinding golden light that enveloped an area of a hundred miles.

The Tiger Phoenix Butterfly's gaze became dull, and it stood motionless.

A colossal black ape appeared, moving its arms to strike the Tiger Phoenix Butterfly.

Tong Shan was greatly alarmed and immediately tried to contact the Tiger Phoenix Butterfly, but it gave no response.

The black ape's fists slammed into the Tiger Phoenix Butterfly, causing its body to explode into a rain of blood. With a flash of spiritual light, its corpse transformed into a shimmering Five Profound Stone, and the red domain shattered.

A thousand miles away, a spiritual light flashed in the void, revealing a tall young man in yellow robes, who was the transformed Tiger Phoenix Butterfly.

As a major clan, it was no difficult feat for the Tang Clan to help the Tiger Phoenix Butterfly achieve human form. Although its bloodline purity was only seven, not quite a true spirit, this was still terrifying. Most eighth-rank spirit beasts, birds, and insects only reached a bloodline purity of six; a difference of one represents a significant barrier.

Given the power of a Tiger Phoenix Butterfly with bloodline purity seven, one could imagine how terrifying a true spirit with bloodline purity nine would be.

"An illusion-type incomplete Profound Heaven Treasure!"

The young man in yellow robes frowned, stating that if not for his substitute treasure, he would have perished.

If it were a top-grade Connecting Heaven spiritual treasure, he wouldn't have fallen into the illusion so easily.

Ye Xuanji had too many treasures: both defensive soul treasures and illusion-type incomplete Profound Heaven Treasures.

Ripples spread above the young man in yellow robes, and a dazzling golden pagoda materialized, spraying a golden glow that enveloped him. His body rapidly shrank and disappeared into the golden pagoda.

Ye Xuanji frowned. Ripples spread above Luo Qian's head, and a massive void appeared, from which a colossal Tiger Phoenix Butterfly emerged. With a gentle flap of its wings, numerous cracks formed in the void, swiftly sweeping past Luo Qian's body.

Luo Qian's protective spiritual light shattered instantly like thin paper, and her entire body was sliced into countless pieces of flesh, scattering blood on the spot.

With a flash of spiritual light, the corpse transformed into a shimmering golden spiritual bamboo, which had seven segments, one of which was broken.

A thousand miles away, a spiritual light lit up in the void, and Luo Qian reappeared, her eyes filled with terror.

Ye Xuanji's brows furrowed. Ordinary treasures couldn't trap the Tiger Phoenix Butterfly; it could use its spatial divine ability to escape. This was the terrifying power of a spirit insect that mastered spatial divine abilities.

Treasures specifically designed to counter spatial divine abilities were rare, and she did not possess one.

"Fellow Daoist Gongsun, Fellow Daoist Wang, please come and assist me in eliminating the Tiger Phoenix Butterfly first. Leave the other enemies to others."

Ye Xuanji transmitted a message to Gongsun Yang and Wang Qingshan.

As soon as Luo Qian reappeared, ripples spread in the void above her head, and a massive void appeared, from which the Tiger Phoenix Butterfly flew out.

This time, as soon as it appeared, an extremely strange beast roar echoed, sounding also like some kind of insect chirp.

Upon hearing this sound, the Tiger Phoenix Butterfly's reaction was momentarily slow, but it quickly recovered. Two translucent chains materialized and wrapped around its body—these were the Chains of Divine Sense.

A vast river of green swords surged forth with immense momentum.

Luo Qian waved the Heaven-Burning Banner in her hand, unleashing a large expanse of crimson flames directly at the Tiger Phoenix Butterfly, while simultaneously retreating and flying into the distance.

With a flash of yellow light, the Tiger Phoenix Butterfly transformed into its human form. With a gentle flick of its finger, space twisted and deformed, and a massive spatial vortex appeared. The green sword river and crimson flames entered the vortex, vanishing without a trace.

A golden light materialized, revealing a shimmering golden orb.

The young man in yellow robes inwardly cried out in alarm, as the golden orb emitted a blinding golden light that engulfed his figure.

Tong Shan's expression darkened at this sight, and he was about to attack Ye Xuanji and the others. A cold wind blew over his head, and an Ice Phoenix appeared.

The moment it appeared, the Soul Extinguishing Disk emitted a dazzling black light that enveloped its body. The Ice Phoenix let out a mournful cry, and its body trembled.

A green guillotine shot forth, slicing the Ice Phoenix in two.

The Ice Phoenix reappeared a thousand miles away in the void. As soon as it emerged, a golden river surged forth, radiating astonishing high temperatures. Simultaneously, ripples spread above its head, and a gigantic hand made of golden flames materialized, striking towards the Ice Phoenix.

With a gentle flap of the Ice Phoenix's wings, a large expanse of white light shot out, enveloping the golden river and the colossal hand, causing both to rapidly freeze.

A black light descended from the sky, enveloping its body. The Ice Phoenix let out a miserable cry, and its body trembled.

A green guillotine shot forth, slicing it in two. Its essence soul could not escape; having endured two strikes from the Soul Extinguishing Disk, its soul power was severely depleted and could not be used for artifact refinement, thus it was directly annihilated.

On the other side, the Tiger Phoenix Butterfly was also smashed into a pulp by the black ape. The moment its essence soul left its body, it was enveloped by a black light and drawn into a black jade bottle.

Ye Xuanji was an artifact refiner, and the essence soul of an eighth-rank Tiger Phoenix Butterfly could be used for artifact refinement, potentially creating another formidable weapon.

Tong Shan's gaze darkened. He had poured immense effort into cultivating the Tiger Phoenix Butterfly to the eighth rank, only for it to tragically perish here.

To kill the Tiger Phoenix Butterfly, the Ice Phoenix was slain, the Ancient Ghoul was killed, Ye Yunfei's physical body was destroyed, and Luo Qian used up her substitute treasure.

Wang Qingshan sensed something, frowned, and turned his head to look in a certain direction, seeing Wang Qingcheng flying backward, his body visibly dissolving into a large rain of blood, and a miniature Nascent Soul flying out of his body.

A purple light shot forth, heading directly for the miniature Nascent Soul.

Hundreds of thick silver lightning bolts descended from the sky, shattering the purple light.

Wang Qingshan rushed back and retrieved Wang Qingcheng's Nascent Soul.

Fang Feng's divine ability was too powerful. Wang Qingshan had only left for a short while, and Wang Qingcheng's physical body was destroyed. If not for Wang Mengbin's timely assistance, he would have perished.

Wang Qingcheng's strength was not weak, especially for Mahayana cultivators from the Profound Spirit Continent and Azure Glaze Sea Region. However, compared to Mahayana cultivators from major clans, there was a significant gap.
