Chapter 678: Chapter 256: Azure Phoenix Immortal, The Twelve Capital Demon Gods Scripture!_1 Azure Phoenix Immortal City. Majestic and towering, the city walls resembled a sprawling dragon, with many cultivators standing by in full battle array. Outside the walls, wave after wave of black ‘tides’ could be seen relentlessly battering the Azure Phoenix Immortal City. This was an army of demon beasts, forming a beast tide. These demon beasts were either flying in the sky or running on the ground, swarming out of the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range, charging toward the Immortal City fearlessly, as if welcoming death. Within the dark tides, one could occasionally see cultivators scurrying in panic, swallowed up by the masses. These were cultivators who had remained outside or had just returned from hunting demon beasts in the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range. “Boom boom boom—” On the walls of the Azure Phoenix Immortal City, cultivators stood in ranks, constantly casting techniques to attack the demon beasts outside. Above the Great Formation, the sacred and majestic phantom of an Azure Phoenix materialized. “Boom boom boom—” The Azure Phoenix spat thunderous flames, effortlessly sweeping through the beast horde, turning countless First Grade demon beasts into ash, and reducing many Second Rank demon beasts to charred corpses. “Roar!” Just then, a heaven-shaking roar erupted, creating a powerful sonic blast like a hurricane. Under this roar, all the demon beasts seemed to be inspired, while the human race cultivators all groaned simultaneously, feeling dizzy and nauseous, their blood churning, with some even falling to the ground. “Not good, a Third Rank Demon King!” On the city wall, a man around thirty, with a heroic face, dressed in dark armor, and tall and robust build, grunted. He turned to an elder who had fallen to the ground beside him, helped him up, and said in a deep voice, “Old Luo, are you alright?” “Cough cough… I’m fine.” “A Third Rank Demon King is truly terrifying. Despite such distance, and with The Celestial City Formation in between, a single roar has caused my spiritual power to become uncontrollable.” “It’s still Li Feiyu who is impressive, not affected at all.” Referred to as Old Luo, the elder’s face was slightly pale, with fresh blood oozing from his mouth, as he spoke. However, as soon as he finished speaking, he saw another mountain rushing towards the Immortal City from a different direction. It was a Golden Gigantic Ape holding up a mountain. “Boom!” The Golden Gigantic Ape soared into the sky, its momentum terrifying, with the mountain top ablaze with roaring flames, like a fiery meteor, a falling sun fiercely smashing towards the Immortal City. “Rumble—” The rocks from the mountain crashed onto the Great Formation of the Azure Phoenix Immortal City’s walls, creating huge noises and shaking the entire formation violently. “Pfft!” Li Feiyu turned pale from the violent shaking, stumbled and struggled to stand firm. The elder beside him spit out a mouthful of blood even more so. Not only them, but all the Energy Refining Cultivators on the wall were in dire straits, with only the Foundation Establishment Cultivators barely managing to stabilize the situation. “This… Another Third Rank Demon King! Why is this beast tide so terrible, producing two Demon Kings!” The elder wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said with a pale face. “No, there are three!” Li Feiyu looked up at the sky with a grim expression and said. The elder followed Li Feiyu’s gaze and immediately saw a huge Purple Thunderbird in the clouds. “Three Demon Kings, could it be… Azure Phoenix Immortal City is about to fall!” In the elder’s eyes, despair emerged. “Screech!” Just then, within the Azure Phoenix Immortal City, a crisp and melodious screech sounded. Behold, rising from the Qing Luan Peak in the center of the Immortal City, a majestic and unrivaled cyan bird took off into the sky. Its wings extended, its feathers splendid, resplendent with flowing light, like a proud peacock, yet also like a noble phoenix, its body ablaze with cyan flames. “A Third Rank Qing Luan, it’s Azure Phoenix Immortal!” “Greetings to the City Lord!” “This is the number one Loose Cultivator of Jiang Country, Azure Phoenix Immortal!” “I’ve been in Azure Phoenix Immortal City for twenty years, and it’s my first time seeing the City Lord!” “Azure Phoenix Immortal hasn’t made a move in nearly a hundred years; I wonder if she can repel these three Demon Kings!” “It’s hard to say; that Golden Gigantic Ape is a Heavenly-Rank Bloodline Demon Beast, the Diamond Ape King, and that Purple Thunderbird in the sky is also a Heavenly-Rank Demon Beast, the Thundercloud Sparrow. In such circumstances…” “Azure Phoenix Immortal’s steed, the Qing Luan, is a Third Rank Demon King, and with the five hundred Azure Phoenix Dao Soldiers, she’s undoubtedly the most powerful below the Nascent Soul. She will surely be able to repel the three Great Demons!” “It is rumored that Azure Phoenix Immortal has not shown herself in recent years because she sustained severe injuries. She has been recuperating all these years…” Inside the Azure Phoenix Immortal City, as everyone witnessed this scene, they were all stirred up, their voices a buzz of discussion as they focused their gazes on the cyan phoenix in the sky. Upon the cyan phoenix stood a tall, curvaceous woman clad in radiant cyan and gold armor. She was incredibly beautiful, seemingly in her thirties, with brows sharp as swords, eyes vast as the sun, moon, and stars, a nose as refined as a prominent mountain, and lips as curved as a crescent moon bow. Her entire face was strikingly defined, giving off an indescribable sense of sharpness, majesty, and authority, akin to a high and mighty female war deity, commanding involuntary submission and worship at her feet. However, her cold solemnity and majesty combined with her lofty and graceful stature hidden beneath the cyan and gold armor, brought a unique beauty that was truly exceptional. Especially her eyes, which shone like suns, moons, and stars, round and elongated with upturned corners like water droplets, they captivated the soul with an alluring chill. Seeing Azure Phoenix Immortal, countless people’s hearts raced with nervousness, excitement, and adoration. For they were seeing a legendary figure! Azure Phoenix Immortal, rising from a background of a loose cultivator, with no backing, attained True Elixir, challenged a cultivator in the Core Formation Late Stage while in the Initial Stage of Core Formation, became the number one Loose Cultivator of Jiang Country, and established the Azure Phoenix Immortal City as a sacred land for loose cultivators! For many cultivators, such a person was the stuff of legend!
