Chapter 2031: Chapter 672: War Breaks Out! "What!?" Lu Changsheng’s heart skipped a beat, his expression grave. Azure Phoenix True Monarch possesses a fourth-rank Simurgh spiritual pet and five hundred Azure Phoenix Daoist Soldiers, undoubtedly surpassing many early Nascent Soul cultivators in battle strength. Yet, at this moment, the battle array formed by the spiritual pet and Daoist soldiers was directly shattered. But at the next moment. "Screech!!!" The phoenix cried out to the nine heavens. Between heaven and earth, the apparition of a Heavenly Phoenix, burning with regal and splendid crimson flames, appeared, merging with the shattered green Simurgh apparition. Suddenly, the green Simurgh apparition seemed reborn from fire, instantly condensing, and its momentum and qi mechanism soared, becoming much more formidable and soaring into the sky. "This Azure Phoenix True Monarch is indeed remarkable..." Lu Changsheng saw this scene, took a deep breath, and exhaled slowly. At this moment, he was almost certain that the Heavenly Phoenix True Feather that Azure Phoenix True Monarch obtained from him was not only used to assist the Spirit Beast Azure Phoenix to break through, but was also utilized in her cultivation. It is very likely that through the Heavenly Phoenix True Feather, she acquired the Divine Skills inheritance of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan. After all, whether it was the Heavenly Phoenix True Fire during the pioneering war or this scene of Phoenix Bathing Fire, both were related to the Heavenly Phoenix. "Perhaps her cultivation technique inheritance was already related to the Heavenly Phoenix, as it is rumored that both the Azure Phoenix and the Heavenly Phoenix possess phoenix bloodlines and are descendants of the Phoenix..." Lu Changsheng pondered in his heart and continued to focus on the battle situation. The strength of Azure Phoenix True Monarch was undoubtedly unquestionable, yet facing the siege of five Nascent Soul cultivators, it was still difficult for her to break through the encirclement and leave the secret realm. "Unless her strength can absolutely crush them, it is extremely difficult to fight against many with just one." With the past experience of being chased by Mingsha, Tan Mei, and Heavenly Silkworm, Lu Changsheng understood that it was very difficult to fight against multiple opponents. After all, even a middle-stage Nascent Soul cultivator cannot ignore the miraculous divine abilities and treasures of early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, requiring them to split their attention to address them, let alone when Azure Phoenix True Monarch is only at the early Nascent Soul stage. "But where are Azure Phoenix True Monarch’s helpers? Didn’t she have three companions traveling with her?" Seeing Azure Phoenix True Monarch struggling and overwhelmed under the siege, Lu Changsheng slightly furrowed his brows. Previously, he saw one of Azure Phoenix True Monarch’s companion friends being chased by two Nascent Soul True Lords, but there were still two others. If those two made a move, they would effectively be four against five and would certainly be able to break through the encirclement. Watching the ongoing battle in the distant heavenly dome, and finding it difficult to leave at the moment, Lu Changsheng slowly approached the area, wanting a closer look. "Whiz! Whiz!" At this moment, Lu Changsheng saw two Nascent Soul cultivators soaring into the sky, joining the battle against Azure Phoenix True Monarch. "Hm!?" Upon seeing these two, Lu Changsheng’s eyes instantly emitted two cold beams. Unexpectedly, Mingsha True Monarch and Heavenly Silkworm True Monarch also joined the siege against Azure Phoenix True Monarch. "Should I intervene..." Under the attack of five Nascent Soul True Lords, Azure Phoenix True Monarch could barely hold on. Now, with the addition of Mingsha True Monarch and Heavenly Silkworm True Monarch wielding the Myriad Ghosts Blood Pool, the pressure on Azure Phoenix True Monarch increased abruptly, revealing signs of defeat. Seeing this scene, Lu Changsheng pondered whether he should lend a hand. Not to mention that he had enmity with Mingsha and Heavenly Silkworm. If not for Azure Phoenix True Monarch arriving earlier, startling away Mingsha, Heavenly Silkworm, and Tan Mei, he would have had to rely on the Mystic Dragon Nirvana Pill and the Sun and Moon Taiji Mysterious Light Mirror to fight with all his might. Although he was confident in repelling, or even killing them, there were risks involved. Now that Azure Phoenix True Monarch was in danger, if he turned a blind eye and left the secret realm directly, it would indeed be hard to justify. "If I don’t save her, my relationship with Azure Phoenix True Monarch will likely end here, just passing acquaintances in the future." "If I offer my help, though not expecting her to promise herself to me, it would definitely deepen our relationship, making us trusted Daoist companions." Lu Changsheng weighed the pros and cons. He had thoughts regarding Azure Phoenix True Monarch, that much was certain. And now presented a good opportunity for him. As long as he lent a hand in helping Azure Phoenix True Monarch escape the siege, he would surely win her favor. "Moreover, the effect of the Mystic Dragon Nirvana Pill will last only a bit over a month now; if not utilized here, once I leave the secret realm, I would still have to find a place to activate the pill’s effects through self-harm." "Given this, I might as well seize this opportunity to unleash the pill’s power. If danger arises, I can also forcibly break out of the secret realm, using the Michen Banner to escape." Under normal circumstances, Lu Changsheng’s battle strength would not be enough to participate in such a multi-Nascent Soul battle. Even if he joined, he could not help much. However, it would be different with a full-scale burst of the Nine Treasures Ruyi Bone. In this state, his battle power, while not comparable to Azure Phoenix True Monarch or Xuanjian True Monarch, would definitely surpass Nascent Soul cultivators like Mingsha True Monarch! "The only issue is that, although I might win a lady’s favor, I might also attract more trouble and become everyone’s target!" If it were only five Nascent Soul cultivators and Mingsha, Heavenly Silkworm, Lu Changsheng wouldn’t hesitate as much. But now, with many Nascent Soul cultivators gathering in the Vast Sand Illusion Realm. If he used the Great Luo Sword Embryo in such public circumstances, it would definitely incite others’ covetousness. And if a Core Formation cultivator exhibited such astonishing battle power, once the secret realm ended, the name of Yangming True Master would not just resonate across the Jiang Country, but echo throughout the Southern Wilderness Northern Domain! By then, this identity could no longer be used, and powers like the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng, Great Luo Sword Embryo, and Brahman Demon True Body would have to be used more cautiously. "So, should I go...or not." Lu Changsheng pondered in his heart, weighing the pros and cons. However, seeing the majestic and imposing Azure Phoenix True Monarch, dressed in green gold armor and radiating cold arrogance, gradually retreating under the siege of seven Nascent Soul cultivators, Lu Changsheng hesitated no longer and decided to give it a shot.
