CHAPTER 981: CHAPTER 681: COLORFUL PHOENIX BONE

He Qing’s Heavenly Dao manifestation only revealed the shadow of a Divine Phoenix on her right wing, while the rest remained that of a celestial crane. However, this Phoenix wing did not seem out of place on her; rather, it blended seamlessly with her essence, embodying a natural and harmonious integration that was flawless.

This is because the crane race also carries the bloodline of the Divine Phoenix, and the Divine Phoenix Bone can merge perfectly with all birds, enabling them to evolve towards a higher form!

He Qing’s use of the Divine Phoenix Bone was evidently much more adept than her father He Yunfang. Even when He Yunfang fought against Ying Changhong, he hadn’t utilized the Divine Phoenix Bone to such an extent.

The moment the Divine Crane form, fused with the right wing of the Phoenix, manifested, its noble aura immediately overshadowed the presence of the Peacock Great Bright King!

Tang Yingxin observed He Qing’s transformation with the Divine Phoenix Bone, becoming incredibly powerful, and his expression grew even darker.

Even though He Qing had merged with the Divine Phoenix Bone, she hadn’t fully unleashed its power. If only his Flying Bird Dao technique were still usable, relying on the Five-Colored Divine Feathers of the Peacock Great Bright King, he could easily defeat He Qing!

However, the Flying Bird Dao art failed; at this moment, He Qing was not at all inferior to him!

Swish!

The massive Divine Crane in the air was already waving its phoenix divine feathers, rapidly striking down towards Tang Yingxin!

The phoenix divine feathers stirred up a brilliant wave of void, making all the Spiritual Power on the battle stage frigid and deadly. Every corner was shrouded under the shadow of the Divine Phoenix, its song resonating with tremendous pressure, rolling towards Tang Yingxin.

Tang Yingxin’s Five-Colored Divine Feathers also burst forth with a dazzling radiance. The Peacock form rose high and bright, constantly trembling in the void, and instantly, five formidable divine lights shot from the Peacock to meet the phoenix divine feathers!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Two potent and regal divine manifestations clashed violently in the air, unleashing earth-shaking roars. The terrifying aura continuously wove across the battle stage. Without the proper protections, even those at the early Immortal Realm caught in it would directly perish!

"This is a genius from the Earth Ranking!"

People gathered below the stage exclaimed in admiration, some praising, some envying, others with furrowed brows.

Cultivators whose power was below the Immortal Realm held great reverence for such strong geniuses; attacks of this intensity were rarely seen in a lifetime, making the spectacle particularly exciting.

Those ranked below He Qing on the Earth Ranking now understood the gap between themselves and these two, feeling especially burdened, knowing they must devote more time to cultivation to surpass them.

This area was completely covered in dazzling brilliance, preventing anyone from discerning what lay within, yet two opposing auras continued to rage chaotically.

But just as everyone watched eagerly, all the lights on the stage suddenly seemed to be drawn in, sweeping across in an arc like flowing water, converging towards the sky.

Soon, everyone noticed, at the center of the light, a crane silhouette, ethereal and towering.

He Qing!

At this moment, He Qing appeared to be the focal point of the world, enveloped in splendid light. It was a magnificent spectacle, as if all divine light was involuntarily drawn to, converging on He Qing.

Phoenix Inhaling the Rainbow!

Below, Tang Yingxin was already filled with terror. His earlier Peacock manifestation displayed vibrant colors, but before He Qing, all the colors on his Heavenly Dao manifestation seemed to peel away, flowing towards He Qing.

Stripped of its colors, it was not transformed into a white peacock, as white is a color too, all of it absorbed, leaving the Peacock manifestation transparent and withered, as if it might wither away in the next instant.

Yet He Qing showed no mercy, she abruptly opened her eyes, filled with infinite brilliance, as if incorporating the universe.

Swish!

She vigorously flapped her wings, and the colorful phoenix wings descended with a roar!

In an instant, the void was illuminated by ten thousand rays of colorful light. Even if they were transported thousands of miles away upon stepping onto the stage, this light still brightened every corner of the Dao Palace, illuminating everything!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The power of Phoenix Inhaling the Rainbow instantly shattered Tang Yingxin’s Peacock manifestation, rendering it utterly fragile, and Tang Yingxin was blown away in an instant!

Thud!

Tang Yingxin was like a ragged doll, reverted to his original form, drawn back from the distant void directly onto the battle stage, landing heavily below, his face pale, having suffered severe injuries!

The outcome was decided!

In an instant, the entire scene erupted in excitement, and everyone gazed upwards with admiration at the noble figure in the sky.

He Qing maintained her 188th ranking on the Earth Ranking!

"Incredible! The crane race has someone to carry on their legacy!"

"Indeed, He Qing is truly a talented individual of the younger generation, perhaps her strength isn’t limited to just the 188th rank!"

"Maybe she can challenge others in the rankings in the future and achieve a higher rank."

Everyone lavished praise upon He Qing, as powerful geniuses are always deserving of respect!

"By the way, is Tang Yingxin still alive?"

"Nonsense! The battle stage of the Dao Palace is just a normal contest, no one will die, the Formation will save his life."

"This guy’s strength indeed seems suspect; I thought his defeat by Qu Shiyang was due to Qu Shiyang’s prowess, but he couldn’t even defeat the 188th ranked He Qing. Turns out he made the list by dubious means!"
