Extreme Almightiest Young Master

Chapter 1206 - 1204: Phoenix Cry Under the Heavens

Danger!

What kind of technique is this?

This... this sense of danger, no... no good!

...

At this moment, Gu Shengwu and the others were in a panic. They all felt how terrifying the white Phoenix was, and their faces changed instantly. They couldn’t believe what they were seeing, thinking to themselves that Xia Lalan’s move was too terrifying. Before it even fell, it was already this frightening—if it were to land, they didn’t know if they could withstand it!

But now, they had no other choice but to withstand it. If they scattered, they would definitely be defeated one by one by Xia Lalan. Therefore, they were all desperate, pushing their Gang Qi to the limit together, forming a layer of Gang Qi protection above their heads, hoping to collectively stop Xia Lalan’s attack!

Watching the actions of Gu Shengwu and the others below, Xia Lalan laughed. To think of withstanding this move was simply a pipe dream. The Nine Phoenixes Chanting Heaven Technique was an Immortal’s spell, and this move was far beyond what ordinary people could imagine. Since that’s the case, then let these people taste its power!

"Phoenix Cry Under the Heavens!"

Xia Lalan, who was falling from mid-air, let out a sharp cry, and with a flick of her jade hand, the white Phoenix, which seemed like a living creature, swooped down on Gu Shengwu and the others. To everyone’s surprise, the white Phoenix began to mutate as it descended, instantly drying up the surrounding Spiritual Energy, and its size increased several-fold, forming a colossal Phoenix that spanned over a hundred zhang in width!

For a moment, everyone was stunned, none of them had expected Xia Lalan to be able to use such a formidable technique! What astonished them even more was that Xia Lalan’s technique was not one passed down by the Xia Family, and they had no idea where she had learned this move from...

At this time, Gu Shengwu and the others were even more pale, although there were ten of them, they all felt the threat of life and death. Under such circumstances, Gu Shengwu and his companions were going insane, wondering how Xia Lalan could be so powerful. This move, even a master of the Infinitesimal Realm might not be able to use, yet they had to confront it!

In a matter of life and death, they could no longer afford to be negligent. In an instant, the ten of them hesitated no longer, each using their Secret Techniques to survive, pushing the Cultivation Techniques they had been running at the limit once more. Instantly, the layer of Gang Qi above their heads thickened considerably; no one dared to hold back anymore, fearing they would be struck dead on the spot by the white Phoenix!

In the blink of an eye, the white Phoenix collided with the Gang Qi cloud layer above the heads of Gu Shengwu and the others...

"Boom!"

An earth-shattering sound, like a massive boulder weighing millions of tons striking the ground, vibrated the entire altar intensely, causing even the children with weaker cultivations to bounce up from the ground, and then fall back down!

But that was just the beginning. Immediately after, an extremely powerful gust of wind burst from the point of collision, spreading outwards at an indescribable speed. Almost instantly, it hit the crowd of various Prominent Families situated hundreds of meters away. Caught off guard by the sudden event, the front rows of people from all the families were sent flying in an instant!

It was only then that the Family Heads and Elders of the various Prominent Families reacted, each using Gang Qi to form protective shields, securing the people of their respective families. For the Family Heads and Elders of each family to take action, one could see how terrifying the whirlwind had become.

Having barely survived the whirlwind, everyone turned their gaze toward where Gu Shengwu and the others were. But just as their sights landed there, another surprise occurred!

"Boom!"

The gigantic white Phoenix that struck the layer of Gang Qi cloud did not disappear. It easily shattered Gu Shengwu and the others’ layer of Gang Qi cloud, and then proceeded to press down on them once again! In an instant, the ten individuals, including Gu Shengwu, were dumbfounded. No one had thought that even the combined strength of ten people couldn’t withstand Xia Lalan’s single move. They all felt a sense of despair at that moment, as the power was beyond their ability to contend with!

But even in the face of despair, they did not give up. As they watched the white phoenix bearing down on them, they all exerted their full strength, pushing their Gang Qi to the limit. Everyone instinctively performed the same action, which was to push all their Gang Qi upwards. They knew that by giving their all, they might still have a slim chance of survival, but if they didn’t try at all, then they would lose even that last sliver of hope!

The white phoenix paid no heed to the thoughts of the crowd, bearing down in a blink of an eye! Seeing the white phoenix descend, both the Gu Family and the Kong Family were on edge, wishing they could go up and rescue their own. But faced with the phoenix’s terrifying power, even the Family Heads and the Elders dared not act rashly. Everyone was baffled at how Xia Lalan could unleash such a horrifying force; it was truly inconceivable!

In the blink of an eye, the white phoenix engulfed Gu Nanshan and the others...

"Boom!"

In an instant, it was as though a super bomb had detonated, the sound even more terrifying than before, making the entire ground tremble. Multicolored Gang Qi clashed with Xia Lalan’s white phoenix, quickly covering the entire area, rendering everyone outside unable to see clearly what was happening inside!

Then, a series of explosions erupted one after another...

"Boom, boom..."

Hearing these explosions and seeing the bursts of Gang Qi in the light curtain, everyone felt a chill in their hearts. They thought to themselves, how could Xia Lalan be so frightening? Her strength was absolutely overwhelming, completely suppressing elites like Gu Shengwu and others from the adult group of both the Gu and Kong Families. With so many people together being counterattacked this way by Xia Lalan was utterly unbelievable, and they couldn’t understand how Xia Lalan could possess such terrifying strength...

The series of explosions only lasted a short while before stopping. At this moment, everyone turned their attention to the Martial Arts Platform, eager to know the outcome. As the dust settled, Gu Shengwu and his companions finally appeared before everyone’s eyes, shocking all onlookers!

Gu Shengwu and the others were in a terribly sorry state, their originally pristine clothes now torn to shreds by the Gang Qi, resembling beggar’s rags. Their faces were pale and bloodless, with blood streaking down their features, and most importantly, they were all kneeling on the ground with their knees a Fumbled mess, their arms so soaked in blood that it had penetrated the skin, making their forearms look terrifyingly red!

Seeing this scene, the crowd collectively gasped, thinking that Xia Lalan’s move was far too powerful. It had forced Gu Shengwu and the others into such a state that they nearly lost their lives. They really couldn’t fathom how Xia Lalan possessed such power. Honestly, not even the Family Heads and Elders at the Infinitesimal Realm could unleash a move of the same prowess. This was utterly beyond belief!

They had no idea that Xia Lalan had now inherited the Nine Phoenixes Chanting Heaven Technique. Although Xia Lalan’s strength was only at Half-Step to Minute Subtlety, her move, Phoenix Cry Under the Heavens, was particularly special. This move was special because it only needed Xia Lalan to initiate it at the beginning. Once released, she didn’t need to control it as its power entirely depended on the surrounding Spiritual Energy and the density of Gang Qi.

Initially, the power was already immense just by rapidly draining the surrounding Spiritual Energy, but as Gu Shengwu and the others continually stimulated their Gang Qi, the power of Phoenix Cry Under the Heavens surged to such an extent. If Gu Shengwu and the others had not used their Gang Qi to dodge, they wouldn’t have ended up in their current state. The mistake lay in their overconfidence in their own strength, which only caused the power of Phoenix Cry Under the Heavens to increase continuously, leading them to reap what they sowed.

The people from the Gu and Kong Families, seeing the finest Disciples of their clans turned into such a state on the platform, were nearly driven mad. Their eyes were filled with murderous intent when they looked at Xia Lalan, completely at a loss as to why she had suddenly burst forth with such prowess. They couldn’t comprehend how Xia Lalan, once deemed useless, could turn the tables so dramatically...

Gu Nanshan and Kong Lifeng, the two Family Heads, wore frighteningly dark expressions, as they had never anticipated Xia Lalan would be so formidable, nor did they expect the Xia Family to have hidden her so well. Now, they would never believe that Xia Lalan had been crippled before; if she had been, it would be impossible for her to have recovered to such an extent. It was a complete miscalculation. Had they known this would be the case, they would have never let Xia Lalan fight against Gu Shengwu and the others!

But it was too late for regrets. With just one move, Xia Lalan had severely wounded Gu Shengwu and his companions. There was no need for the rest of the top sixteen ranking matches; just the thought made Gu Nanshan and Kong Lifeng’s blood boil, almost spewing blood from their anger, as the grand victor of the competition turned out to be the Xia Family once again, claiming first place in the youth, junior, and adult categories. They were relegated to mere foils. This was something the two could hardly swallow, and as they looked at Xia Yuntian, they felt like rushing forward to slay him!

On the other hand, the situation was much better for the Song Family. Under the admonition of the Family Head Song Wuya, the top sixteen contenders from the Song Family had not made a move. Now they all breathed a sigh of relief, thankful they had not acted impulsively. The cold sweat breaking out at the thought, they silently praised their Family Head for his wisdom, wondering how he knew Xia Lalan would be so powerful!

But little did they know that while Song Wuya appeared calm on the surface, his heart was already in turmoil. He, too, had not expected Xia Lalan to be so terrifying. Watching her, he was at a loss for words, now fully realizing one thing - that with Lin Feng’s help, the Xia Family had become much stronger than before. Not only the children were trained into incomparable geniuses, but even Xia Lalan had transformed so formidably under their noses. His heart was filled with jealousy toward Xia Yuntian, wondering where he found such an abnormally powerful person. The term "defying the heavens" was an understatement. Who could have thought that a person who appeared to be in his twenties could accomplish so many impossibilities? No wonder even the ancestral elder held Lin Feng in such high regard; Lin Feng truly could no longer be described as an ordinary person...
