Abyss Walker

Chapter 74 Phoenix Goddess (Part 1)

Yun Muhan put away the Qiankun Painting Brush, and Talion disappeared as well, turning and leaving the battlefield, leaving behind a pile of corpses of the Fire Kingdom people and the land ravaged by war.

Dugu Jianling: "Did you already know?"

“I have already jumped over the abyss once, and I don’t mind jumping over it again. If the heavens do not wait for me, then I will break the heavens.”

Dugu Jianling: "There's still room for maneuver. Why don't we escape from the Demon Continent? I'll help you open a spacetime rift."

"No... I'm going to run away. What will happen to Sister Yunxi, Miss Su, Fairy Lingshuang, Brother Fanchen, Brother Senlin?"

Dugu Jianling: "But... alright... I can't stop you... and I can't stop them either."

"I must become stronger at all costs. If I can't even protect the Demon Continent, how can I protect those who cherish me, let alone those I value?"

"You have killed too many people in the Land of Fire. The Phoenix God will be furious. Don't go there."

Yun Muhan continued walking towards the volcano inside the Fire Kingdom. At that moment, the ring lit up:

The clouds on the horizon are easily broken, and the setting sun holds no resentment.

The heavens do not wait for my clouds, yet the clouds traverse the entire sky on their own.

The clouds of calamity never cease, yet the heart of the clouds remains steadfast.

Knowing the hearts of all under heaven, one's soul rests beside the Nine Gods.

Dugu Jianling: "Yes, how could you, as the Ancestral Dragon, be so easily knocked unconscious? Fine, I'll go crazy with you this once."

At this moment, Chu Ling Shuang in the sky thought: "Does he... resemble a demon god?... Ice Phoenix Goddess, is the Yun Mu Han you wanted to see now?"

————The Bamboo Forest at This Moment————

Su Mengdie knelt in front of her master's door: "Master, I can't watch Young Master Yun die like this. Young Master Yun was such a kind person, why... did it end like this?"

Su Mengdie's master said, "Die'er, this is all for the future of the Demon State. It's not worth it for Yun Muhan."

"If it's him, it's all worth it!"

————Sunset Forest————

"Yay, I've finally broken through to the Nascent Soul stage! Grandpa Forest, why hasn't Brother Mu Han come back yet? Could something have happened to him?"

"No, Brother Yun is a kind person, and Heaven will surely bless him."

"But... even Brother Mu Han... it must be because Yun tide is too weak."

"Hey! Brother Yun..." The Lord of the Forest looked up at the horizon.

————Time Tunnel————

Li Meng: "That silly boy Yun Muhan, does he really think he's so smart? If I hadn't been pretending to be stupid, I would have already... Where is that little fox Xi Ling? I've been looking for her for half a month."

————Illusory Demon City————

"Assemble and attack the summit of the snow-capped mountain."

"My lord, calm down. Snow-capped mountains are easy to defend but difficult to attack. This move... requires careful consideration!"

The Demon Emperor raised his hand and slashed, instantly decapitating the man who had just tried to persuade him. "If anyone tries to disrupt the morale of the army again, this will be your fate. Hear my command, all troops attack the summit of the snow mountain."

----volcano----

Dugu Jianling: "The Phoenix God... is just ahead."

"Is there a cliff in the snow-capped mountains of the Demon Continent?"

Dugu Jianling: "You can't really jump off the cliff, can you? Calm down, there's still a chance."

As soon as Yun Muhan stepped into the volcano, a wave of heat rushed towards him, like the volcano's breath, scorching and wild. His vision was filled with flames, like a burning sunset, coloring the entire interior of the volcano into a world of interwoven orange and gold.

The scene inside the volcano is breathtaking. Magma flows slowly deep inside, making a bubbling and boiling sound, and bubbles burst from time to time, spewing out plumes of hot steam.

The rock face, baked by prolonged high temperatures, had taken on a strange dark red color, as if stained with blood. The air was thick with the smell of sulfur, irritating Yun Muhan's nostrils and sharpening his senses.

The phoenix's silhouette flickered in and out of the firelight, its feathers like flowing flames, each one radiating a dazzling light. Its eyes were like two burning embers, deep and powerful. The phoenix stood there silently, its aura strong and majestic, as if it were the ruler of this sea of ​​fire.

Yun Muhan felt his skin stinging from the surrounding high temperature, and sweat instantly poured from his forehead and back, only to evaporate in the heat.

His breathing became rapid, each inhale feeling like he was inhaling flames, burning his lungs. But his eyes remained firm, showing no sign of retreat. He knew that the Fire Phoenix was the key to his journey, and no matter how many difficulties and obstacles lay ahead, he had to face them.

The fire phoenix seemed to notice Yun Muhan's arrival. It raised its head slightly and let out a clear and melodious phoenix cry. The sound echoed inside the volcano, intertwining with the boiling sound of the lava to form a unique symphony.

The air here is filled with a rich fire element, lava flows on the ground, and flames rage on the surrounding rock walls, as if the whole world is on fire.

The phoenix hovered in the air, its feathers like flowing flames, each flap of its wings bringing a wave of heat. Its gaze was sharp and deep, as if it could see into Yun Muhan's soul.

"Yun Muhan, I did use you, but I am willing to make sacrifices for the future of the Demon State. Are you ready to accept the challenge?" The Fire Phoenix's voice was like thunder, deafening.

"Old dog, what are your intentions in framing a child? Do you even deserve to be a Phoenix God? Where is your heart? Have you forgotten your original purpose?"

Both were gods of the same era, one a spirit of a divine artifact, the other a deity. They were close friends in their youth, but at this moment... Dugu Jianling showed no mercy, did not approve of his actions, and even wanted to utter the most insidious and cunning words in the world upon him.

Yun Muhan's eyes, however, were empty, showing no sign of backing down.
