Chapter 1848 Ancestral Phoenix
Upon seeing this, Li Yan couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, "What incredible power!"

This lotus extinction was extraordinary; its power varied depending on whether it turned forward or backward. Layer upon layer of lotus flowers spread out, and Li Yanchu could not withstand it.

However, Li Yanchu had a solution to this problem.

He pointed his fingers like a sword and thrust them out. The sword light burst forth and struck a lotus petal, which immediately froze and remained motionless.

This triggered a chain reaction, causing all the lotus petals to freeze in place, forced back by the sword light.

Li Yanchu said with a smile, "It is a great supernatural power, but there are still some flaws."

At this moment, Li Yanchu raised his palm to meet the attack.

A lotus flower also resides in the palm of his hand.

However, Dongfang Boshu's lotus was golden, while Li Yanchu's lotus was blue, and Li Yanchu's lotus was composed of the Chaos Dao.

Although only one lotus flower bloomed, it was even more breathtaking than the lotus's demise in Dongfang Boshu's story.

Dongfang Boshu unknowingly fell into it, his heart filled with horror: "Impossible, how could he break my divine power in one move and then learn it!?"

Dongfang Boshu could not believe it.

Not only him, but all the disciples of the Jade Emperor Palace and the Yongsheng Palace were petrified at this moment.

In an instant, the crowd began to murmur amongst themselves.

"Li Yanchu has actually mastered the unique skills of Dongfang Boshu!"

"Impossible. Dongfang Boshu has honed this move for tens of millions of years. How could he have learned it after just one encounter? If that's the case, this person's talent is simply too terrifying! Perhaps... he has practiced this move before."

"Impossible, Lotus Annihilation is the ultimate skill of Dongfang Boshu."

At this moment, everyone was discussing it. Dongfang Boshu's figure continued to fall into Li Yanchu's green lotus.

The next moment, Dongfang Boshu closed his eyes in despair.

He knew the power of Lian Mie, and Li Yanchu's supernatural abilities were even greater than his own.

At this moment, he was inside Li Yanchu's green lotus and felt a sense of awe.
"If you hear the Tao in the morning, you will die in the evening."

Li Yanchu's Azure Lotus power and Dao structure are indeed superior to his Lotus Annihilation.

Dongfang Boshu thought to himself, "To die at the hands of this man would be a fitting end."

But the next moment, the blue lotus vanished.

Li Yanchu reached out and patted Dongfang Boshu on the shoulder, saying with a smile, "Fellow Daoist, you flatter me."

The myriad scenes of Taoism vanished, leaving behind only Dongfang Boshu, who had narrowly escaped death and looked utterly bewildered.

When everyone saw Li Yanchu pat Dongfang Boshu on the shoulder, they couldn't help but smile knowingly.

Many of them had been patted on the shoulder like that by Li Yanchu.

At first, I felt a little uncomfortable, but after so many people were defeated by Li Yanchu, I felt a sense of honor after being photographed by him, and I really wanted to see who he would photograph next.

Having narrowly escaped death, Dongfang Boshu couldn't help but exclaim in horror, "You also cultivated Lotus Annihilation before?"

Li Yanchu shook his head.
"This move is called Lotus Annihilation? It's a good name, it sounds very powerful."

Dongfang Boshu said, "You really haven't studied it?"

Li Yanchu said, "I'm new here and haven't had time to learn anything yet."

Dongfang Boshu said with relief, "That's right, I figured out this move myself. It belongs to the category of supernatural powers, not martial arts techniques. In other words, you figured it out when you were fighting me just now?"

Li Yanchu said, "This supernatural power is not bad. I couldn't help but be delighted to see it. I hope you won't take offense, fellow Daoist."

Dongfang Boshu exclaimed in surprise, "It's actually true!"

He looked incredulous.

The disciples of Yongsheng Palace and Jade Emperor Palace around them were also discussing it, none of them daring to believe it.

Learning someone's ultimate technique while fighting them—such a thing actually exists in the Dao Domain.

The cultivation techniques and supernatural abilities they practice today are all derived from the Great Dao, which are extremely profound and obscure. It would take them decades or even millions of years to study them on their own.

It's unheard of to be able to learn something so easily at a glance.

Dongfang Boshu bowed and said, "Brother Li, your talent is extraordinary; I am ashamed to admit my inferiority."

He then turned to the disciples of the Jade Emperor Palace and said, “Dongfang Boshu’s skills are not yet proficient. Fellow disciples, if anyone is interested in challenging Brother Li, please feel free to do so.”

It was truly unexpected that Dongfang Boshu, who was always aloof, would say such a thing, but at this moment, there was a sense of composure in his eyes.

He bowed respectfully and then took his leave, appearing quite carefree.

However, at this moment, no one's attention was on Dongfang Boshu.

The disciples of Yongsheng Palace looked at the people from Jade Emperor Palace and said loudly, "Hey, you all heard what Dongfang Boshu said. Anyone else who's not satisfied, step forward!"

The Jade Emperor Palace disciples' expressions immediately turned somewhat unpleasant.

There are indeed powerful figures in the Jade Emperor Palace who can rival Dongfang Boshu, but none of them have come today. The rest of them are hoping that Dongfang Boshu can defeat Li Yanchu and suppress the arrogance of Yongsheng Palace.

Since Dongfang Boshu was defeated so easily, it would be pointless for anyone else to go up against him.

For a moment, everyone looked at each other.

The people from Yongsheng Palace could now finally breathe a sigh of relief and loudly mocked them.

The people from the Jade Emperor's Palace were too ashamed to face him, so they left one after another.

The disciples of Yongsheng Palace came up one after another to flatter Li Yanchu and congratulate him.

"As expected, Senior Brother's cultivation is formidable and his talent is extraordinary. Today, he has thwarted the arrogance of the Jade Emperor Palace and enhanced the prestige of our Yongsheng Palace. Congratulations!"

"Indeed! Senior Brother's strength is extraordinary, surpassing all ages."

As the praise grew more and more enthusiastic, Li Yanchu raised his hand and said with a smile, "You are all too kind. It was just a private discussion, nothing more. There's no need to exaggerate my abilities like this."

"Senior Brother is indeed humble!"

"Indeed, Senior Brother is gentle and kind. He must come from a land of etiquette. His demeanor is admirable. I really want to see what kind of atmosphere Senior Brother's universe is like. It must be a place of outstanding people and beautiful scenery."

Everyone kept praising Li Yanchu, which made him feel a little overwhelmed.

After a while, he managed to shake off the crowd and leave.

And the news spread quickly.

Yongsheng Palace was just a small place within the outer gate.

Yu Shu and Chen Sui simply abandoned him here, intending to bring him back once Xu Miaozhen returned with news of Mang Daoren.

Unexpectedly, Xu Miaozhen never returned, and Li Yanchu stayed at Yongsheng Palace for many days, making a name for himself. After hearing this, Zhai Feifeng in the Jade Emperor Palace was moved and said, "What? Dongfang Boshu was defeated, and someone even learned his Lotus Annihilation technique and subdued him?"

Zhai Feifeng was one of the strongest people in the Jade Emperor Palace, which is why Dongfang Boshu was not called the senior brother of the Jade Emperor Palace.

In reality, the title of "Senior Brother" is not something that just anyone can obtain, nor is there a Senior Brother in every palace.

There are simply too many powerful people; those who can come to the Dao Domain are all supreme beings from various universes.

With so many people gathered together, it is extremely difficult to distinguish who is superior or inferior.

Earning the title of the universally recognized senior disciple is even more difficult.

Zhai Feifeng had been competing with Dongfang Boshu and secretly cultivating her skills, but no one knew the extent of her cultivation.

Zhai Feifeng fought Dongfang Boshu once 90,000 years ago, and the two were evenly matched.

However, Dongfang Boshu's lotus extinction at that time really startled her. If Dongfang Boshu had not failed to fully refine it at that time, Zhai Feifeng would probably have been injured and defeated.

Ninety thousand years have passed, and Dongfang Boshu's move must have been perfected by now. He never expected to encounter such a thing, so Zhai Feifeng was somewhat shocked.

"Just who exactly is this Li Yanchu?"

A thought flashed through her mind, and a fighting spirit suddenly appeared in her eyes.

Unlike ordinary disciples, they knew the difference in strength was too great and did not want to go up and humiliate themselves.

However, Zhai Feifeng, the strongest among the various Dao Palaces, has varying levels of cultivation and Dao supernatural powers, and he loves to spar and discuss Dao with others.

Zhai Feifeng thought to herself, "It has been a long time since I have fought anyone. I originally wanted to use the Twelve Yuanhui True God Ode that I have comprehended to deal with Dongfang Boshu, but Dongfang Boshu was defeated first. However, it is good that way. I can borrow Li Yanchu to see how my current level is."

Zhai Feifeng was ambitious. She not only wanted to be the senior disciple of the Jade Emperor Palace, but she also wanted to enter the inner sect, or even the core area, to learn more profound Dao and witness a broader world.

In her eyes, Li Yanchu was clearly a good opponent to spar with, so the next day Zhai Feifeng approached Li Yanchu.

Li Yanchu is diligently cultivating various Dao techniques to solidify his foundation.

Originally, he cultivated too fast in order to deal with the three Dao Lords and pursue the highest combat power.

Although it might sound pretentious to say this, for Li Yanchu, cultivating too quickly meant that some things were practiced too roughly, leaving flaws.

Therefore, this time he focused on solidifying his foundation in one realm and practiced diligently in Yongsheng Palace.

Upon seeing this cold-faced woman challenge him to a debate, Li Yanchu felt helpless, but a fighting spirit also surfaced in his eyes.

Engaging with others is the fastest way to cultivate the Great Dao, far faster than shutting yourself away, simply comprehending the Great Dao, or merely observing its phenomena.

Last time, he comprehended the method of the Chaos Green Lotus from Dongfang Boshu's Lotus Extinction.

However, before Li Yanchu could name this move, time was too short, and he hadn't yet fully developed its potential, Zhai Feifeng had already come knocking on his door.

Li Yanchu said, "I have also heard of Zhai Feifeng in the Jade Emperor's Palace. Since you wish to spar, please do so."

The disciples of Yongsheng Palace had told Li Yanchu about many powerful figures in the outer sect, and Zhai Feifeng was one of them.

She primarily cultivates the Vermilion Bird Great Dao, one of the Four Symbols, using it as a foundation to deduce other Great Daos and perfect the supernatural abilities she cultivates, making them extremely fierce and domineering.

She herself is of a special race, the Ancestral Phoenix.

The Ancestral Phoenix is ​​born powerful, and is one of the few races whose bloodline can still provide support at the Dao Lord level, creating a gap between them and other Dao Lords, just like the ancient god bloodline from other realms.

Zhai Feifeng said, "I originally intended to defeat Dongfang Boshu, but I did not expect him to be defeated by you first. I have no choice but to discuss the Dao with you, fellow Daoist."

As soon as she finished speaking, she struck Li Yanchu with a palm strike. In an instant, flames filled the sky, trapping Li Yanchu in a sea of ​​fire.

Amidst the sea of ​​fire, a phoenix soared, its entire body engulfed in flames, seemingly capable of annihilating everything around it with a single breath.

Li Yanchu took her attack head-on and immediately felt his arm go numb and tingly.

This woman's supernatural powers were swift and fierce; she was definitely not a kind person.

Although she was a woman, her offense and defense were extremely fierce.

When Li Yanchu fought Dongfang Boshu, his arm did not feel sore or numb.

He put away his contempt. There are many powerful figures in the Dao Domain. Some have great reputations, while others have little reputation. But their true strength can only be known by fighting them.

At this moment, Li Yanchu became serious and threw a punch. His martial arts fist technique was extremely fierce and without any fancy moves. He struck the fire phoenix in the sea of ​​fire with all his might.

The fire phoenix's body trembled, much to Zhai Feifeng's surprise.

Li Yanchu's power was ruthless, seemingly even more domineering than the cultivation technique she practiced.

Zhai Feifeng charged forward again.

At this moment, the clear cry of a phoenix rang out from Yongsheng Palace, immediately attracting the attention of many people.

Some people, after only a glimpse from afar, were filled with horror.
"It's Zhai Feifeng from the Jade Emperor Palace. She's been competing with Dongfang Boshu. Now that Dongfang Boshu has lost, she's come here to settle scores."

“I witnessed that battle 90,000 years ago. Although Dongfang Boshu fought Zhai Feifeng to a draw, Zhai Feifeng did not exert his full strength or mobilize his bloodline. Tens of thousands of years later, no one knows how strong Zhai Feifeng has become.”

"I have confidence in my senior brother. He will definitely be able to defeat this feisty woman!"

"If she hears you say that, you'll be in big trouble."

The crowd began to discuss the matter and flocked to the spot.

Zhai Feifeng was aloof and unlike Dongfang Boshu, who liked to show off in front of others.

The last time Dongfang Boshu came to discuss the Dao, he was accompanied by a group of disciples from the Jade Emperor Palace, while Zhai Feifeng came alone without warning.

The Jade Emperor Palace is very close to the Yongsheng Palace, and upon sensing this powerful fluctuation, some people immediately became curious.
“It’s Zhai Feifeng who has come out of seclusion. Knowing her personality, she will not let Li Yanchu off the hook after hearing that Dongfang Boshu was defeated. She will definitely go and settle the score with him herself.”

"Interesting! This woman has the bloodline of the Ancestral Phoenix, one of the few who can have an advantage in bloodline. Go quickly, I also want to see this debate."

Everyone was paying close attention to this battle.

Not only Yongsheng Palace and Yuhuang Palace, but also several other palaces had heard about this and many people were rushing to this place.

Although the palaces are named after palaces, the areas are vast and the distances to get there are very far.

Li Yanchu's reputation has not yet spread throughout the outer sect; it has only circulated among the surrounding disciples, and it is spread by the familiar disciples.

This also shows just how vast the Dao Domain is; even a Dao Lord of their realm would need a great deal of time to arrive.

At this moment, some disciples from the Jade Emperor Palace who were nearby had arrived at this place. They saw a huge fire phoenix soaring into the sky, flapping its wings and flying high. Its body was bathed in divine fire, and just one glance made people feel that their souls would be burned away.

Someone exclaimed in surprise, "Zhai Feifeng has revealed her true form as the Ancestral Phoenix!"

At this moment, everyone saw that the fire phoenix had a human head and a bird's body. She looked like a beautiful woman, but her body was that of a phoenix. The aura of the Great Dao she exuded was extraordinary and astonishing.

"Zu Feng? Is this Zu Feng?"

Someone murmured.

The Ancestral Phoenix is ​​similar to a chaotic being, born adhering to the Great Dao, and inherently powerful.
Although Zhai Feifeng was not a purebred Ancestral Phoenix, the aura she displayed at this moment was truly astonishing.
