Daojun, start from Penglai foundation building

Chapter 914 Fairy Suqin, Nine Phoenixes Perish

Kunlun is a vast and boundless land, and the sacred Jade Pool is a place of great beauty.

As a rare sacred land for female cultivators among all the heavens and myriad realms, Yaochi is magnificent in every aspect.

Besides the core dojo of the Golden Mother Dao Lord, there is also a vast expanse of flower ponds, displaying a myriad of beautiful colors and countless rare and wonderful things.

At this moment, amidst the myriad exotic flowers blooming in the hanging corridor and flower pond, three figures were walking side by side, admiring this rare collection of exotic flowers that is unparalleled in all the heavens and myriad realms.

Among the three figures, one wore a bright moon palace dress, with her hair styled in a flowing cloud pattern, and wide sleeves draped with flowing clouds, and a moon sword at her waist; the other wore a plain white cloud dress, also with flowing cloud pattern and wide sleeves, but held a white zither in her arms.

As for the remaining person, dressed in a robe of lightning and cloud shadows, adorned with jade hairpins and gold hairpins, with nothing in his hands, he appeared carefree and unrestrained; he was none other than Lingyu from Penglai.

The fairy with a moon sword at her waist asked, "Senior Sister Lingyu's visit to my Yaochi Holy Land is surely not as simple as just being a guest, is it?"

Lingyu nodded: "I can't hide it from Fairy Yuejian. The reason I came to Yaochi Holy Land is twofold: first, to visit a few people and exchange pleasantries; second, to invite Fairy Suqin to come out of seclusion."

Upon hearing this, the fairy holding the white zither paused slightly: "Ask me to come down from the mountain?"

"My meager cultivation is hardly worthy of Senior Sister Lingyu's long journey."

Lingyu laughed and said, "Who doesn't know that the Golden Mother Daoist of the Yaochi Holy Land is always accompanied by the four fairies of Qin, Jian, Di, and Zheng?"

"Why should Fairy Suqin belittle herself?"

"The reason I invited Fairy Suqin to come out of the mountains this time is that there is a demon that can only be subdued by Fairy Suqin's Heavenly Qin Zhaoyin Bow."

"I wonder if Fairy Suqin knows about the Nine-Headed Insect of the Great Wilderness Realm?"

Upon hearing this, Fairy Suqin frowned slightly: "Nine Phoenix Demon Lord, huh? I have heard some rumors about him, but I don't know if they are true or not."

Lingyu smiled and said, "Most rumors and gossip in the myriad realms are not surprising, but Fairy Suqin can take the rumors about the nine-headed worm seriously."

"The Nine-Headed Insect is now trapped in the Nine Provinces. The Crested Ibis Demon Lord has already made his move. There is no need for Fairy Suqin to confront it head-on. Just wait for it to reveal its true form, then shoot its head with the Heavenly Qin Zhaoyin Bow. The rest can be left to the Crested Ibis Demon Lord."

Fairy Suqin and Fairy Yuejian exchanged a glance, then nodded: "Since it is Senior Sister Lingyu's request, I will accept it."

Several months later, another distinguished guest arrived at Jiutou Mountain.

The Seven Absolutes Goddess is now completely numb.

In less than a year, the number of Dongxuan beings appearing in Jiutou Mountain has reached five, covering various sacred sites of Xuanmen Taoism, Buddhism, demon races, and unorthodox sects.

Today, Jiutou Mountain truly shines with glory.

Inside the Seven Wonders Cave, the Crested Ibis Demon Lord warmly entertained the Fairy Suqin, who had traveled from afar.

"Kunlun Great Thousand is located in the west of Chaos, far away from the Nine Provinces Great Thousand in the east of Chaos. I originally thought that the fairy would not arrive until at least a year later, but I did not expect her to arrive so quickly."

Fairy Suqin raised her wine cup and gestured slightly: "Demon Lord, you may not know this, but if I were to use my escape technique alone, it would take at least two or three years to travel from Kunlun Realm to this Nine Provinces Realm."

"This time I took a shortcut. First, I went from Kunlun Realm to the Three Realms Great Thousand through the teleportation array, then from the Three Realms Great Thousand to Tianyuan Realm through the teleportation array, and finally through the void turbulence to arrive at this Nine Provinces Realm."

Fairy Suqin spoke casually, but the four people present were already somewhat alarmed.

The Kunlun Realm has already established a teleportation array to the Three Realms and the Great Thousand Worlds. Not to mention how many rare and precious materials and how much manpower and resources were used to establish this teleportation array.

With this teleportation array established, a stable and fast passage was created between the Three Realms and the Kunlun Realm, allowing people and resources from the Kunlun Realm to continuously reach the Eastern Heaven of the Three Realms.

Moreover, the Three Realms Great Thousand has also established a teleportation array in the Tianyuan Realm. With the Tianyuan Realm as the center, dozens of medium-thousand worlds and hundreds of small-thousand worlds within a radius of the Three Realms Great Thousand are already under its control.

With Tianyuan Realm as its forward base, the immortals of the three upper realms of the Eastern Heaven Daoist sect only need to travel through the chaotic void for three to five months to reach the Nine Provinces Realm. If they are transporting Dao soldiers, they can arrive in half a year with the speed of the void magic boat.

Shao Bai Mingjun and Si Hai Zhenjun exchanged a glance, both unable to hide their astonishment.

The Yellow-Eyebrowed Venerable, however, seemed to be deep in thought, as if weighing something.

Only the Crested Ibis Demon Lord didn't care at all: "The Fairy Suqin arrived so quickly, not to mention we didn't expect it, even the Nine-Headed Insects certainly didn't expect it."

"They probably guessed we would ask for help again, but they didn't expect the help to come so quickly."

"Fairy Suqin, please rest here for a few days, and then we will have a life-or-death battle with the Nine-Headed Insect and his gang."

"When the battle is about to begin, Fairy Suqin need not show herself. Wait until I force the Nine-Headed Insect to reveal its true form before asking you to take action to defeat it."

Fairy Suqin readily agreed: "I will leave everything to the Demon Lord's arrangements."

Immediately afterwards, everyone began a feast.

Several days later, the Crested Ibis Demon Lord, the Yellow-Eyebrowed Venerable, the Young White Underworld Lord, and the Four Seas True Lord set off again to fight against the Nine-Phoenix Demon Lord and others.

As the eight prodigies of the Dongxuan realm, immortals, Buddhas, demons, and monsters displayed their power above the Zhuzhou sky, the immense pressure unique to the Dongxuan Dao Fruit and the Three Flowers Dao Cultivation was like an abyss and a prison, causing the demons and monsters within a radius of tens of millions of miles to tremble and gasp for breath.

The Nine Phoenix Demon Lord was dressed in brocade robes, with a jade crown and a precious fan, and was indeed as elegant and refined as jade, but unfortunately his face had a hint of sinister intent.

"Crested Ibis, how many battles have you fought with me these past few days?"

"Is there any match that could take my life?"

"Since it's a draw, why bother with this endless entanglement? Do we really have to fight to the death in this Nine Provinces Realm to trigger the calamity of the Xuanmen?"

The Nine-Phoenix Demon Lord appeared to be speaking with utmost sincerity, but his words were actually a veiled sarcasm directed at the Crested Ibis Demon Lord, implying that he was not skilled enough.

Faced with the mockery of the Nine Phoenix Demon Lord, the Crested Ibis Demon Lord remained silent. He made a fist with his hand, and the Magpie Feather Fire Fan fell into his palm. Immediately afterwards, three mighty Southern Bright Fires roared away.

In an instant, the roar of fire sounded like the cry of a dragon, and the three streams of Southern Bright Fire surged like dragons cutting through the waves, traversing millions of miles in a flash and heading straight for the Nine Phoenix Demon Lord.

Facing the three fierce streams of Southern Brightness Fire, the Nine Phoenix Demon Lord sneered: "After fighting you so many times, do you really think I have no defenses against your Southern Brightness Fire?!"

After saying this, the Nine-Phoenix Demon Lord's figure gradually became transparent, and then he turned into a wisp of demonic energy and disappeared without a trace.

As the Nine-Phoenix Demon Lord and the Crested Ibis Demon Lord clashed, the Four Seas True Lord, the Lesser White Underworld Lord, and the Yellow-Eyebrowed Venerable once again sought out the Five Waters Mysterious Lord, the Blood Sea Daoist, and the Unperturbed Monk.

They each went off to fight in their own direction, leaving the main battlefield in the center to the Crested Ibis Demon Lord and the Nine-Phoenix Demon Lord.

If these two can determine a winner, then this chaotic battle that has lasted for years will immediately have a victor.

Everyone else knew this, and the Nine-Phoenix Demon Lord knew it even better.

"Crested Ibis, are you in such a hurry to settle things with me?" "But I've already seen through all your methods and moves, and I know all your secret weapons and trump cards."

"What other tricks do you have up your sleeve to beat me?"

The voice of the Nine Phoenix Demon Lord came from all directions. For a moment, all that could be seen were shadowy figures flickering all around, making it difficult to distinguish between reality and illusion, and even more so to know how many traps were hidden among these shadowy figures.

The Nine-Phoenix Demon Lord's words were not false. In recent years, he and the Crested Ibis Demon Lord had fought four or five times. Apart from the first time when the Crested Ibis Demon Lord caught the Nine-Phoenix Demon Lord off guard and almost burned him to death in the Southern Ming Fire, the Nine-Phoenix Demon Lord, with the help of others, did not let the Crested Ibis Demon Lord succeed again, even when he was at a disadvantage.

In particular, the Nine-Phoenix Demon Lord also obtained a secret technique from Bu Chen. This technique allows the Nine-Phoenix Demon Lord to use the Shadowless Transformation Technique, which can create countless shadows and transform into countless illusions and realities.

Using this method, it was extremely difficult for the Crested Ibis Demon Lord to lock onto the Nine-Phoenix Demon Lord's aura.

Looking at the shadowy figures and illusory light surrounding him, the Crimson Ibis Demon Lord's phoenix eyes were filled with coldness. He made a hand seal and condensed his magic, and the one-foot-long path of fire behind his head suddenly expanded to ten thousand feet.

The towering, fiery Dao Wheel seemed to slowly rotate like the sun, with countless streams of Southern Bright Fire swirling around it, rising and flowing, burning away all the demonic energy in the heavens.

The Crested Ibis Demon Lord formed a hand seal, his eyes blazing: "Fire of Departure - Reversal of Heaven!"

In an instant, thousands of fire wheels, each no bigger than a foot, flew out from the ten-thousand-foot-long Fire Dao Wheel and swept in all directions. The fire wheels spun rapidly, and in a short while, a circle of incandescent flames rose within a radius of millions of miles.

As the flames engulfed the sky, all the phantom images activated by the Nine Phoenix Demon Lord were destroyed, and his true form finally revealed itself, standing right above the head of the Crested Ibis Demon Lord!

"Crested ibis, it's my turn!"

Before the words were finished, the Nine-Phoenix Demon Lord, dressed in magnificent robes and wearing a jade crown, stretched out his arms, and from his abdomen, a ghostly hand emerged, its four sharp fingers stabbing straight at the face of the Crested Ibis Demon Lord!
The Nine Phoenixes originally had four wings and three legs.

Gazing at that heart-wrenching, soul-stealing ghostly claw, the Crested Ibis Demon Lord frowned, exerted force with both arms to draw upon the Southern Bright Fire, and charged straight at it without dodging or avoiding.

In an instant, the ghostly claw shattered the sky and the flames of separation burned the heavens. The endless flames soared into the sky and exploded, transforming into a magnificent pillar of fire that shot into the heavens.

The Nine-Phoenix Demon Lord's figure retreated rapidly, the ghostly hand on his abdomen had been burned to a crisp, but there was no anger on the Nine-Phoenix Demon Lord's face.

As the Nine-Phoenix Demon Lord landed, he looked at the Crested Ibis Demon Lord with a half-smile: "Crested Ibis, how does my ghost claw taste?"

At this moment, two bloody gashes tore open the cheeks of the Crested Ibis Demon Lord, leaving the skin ripped open, and its pair of demonic eyes, burning with fiery flames, were shattered.

The Nine-Phoenix Demon Lord's attack not only shattered the Crested Ibis Demon Lord's jade-like face, but also blinded him.

Just as the Nine-Phoenix Demon Lord was feeling smug, the Crested Ibis Demon Lord calmly reached out and gouged out his shattered eyes. In the next instant, the flames in his empty eye sockets reignited, condensing into two fiery pupils.

"It's just that I lost two eyes, is that worth getting so worked up about?"

"Nine-headed worm!"

As the Crested Ibis Demon Lord finished speaking, his tone became increasingly chilling. Behind him, a phantom image of a divine bird with a long neck, slender forehead, crimson beak, and rosy cheeks gradually expanded and solidified.

In less than three breaths, the Crested Ibis Demon Lord had already transformed into its original form and charged towards the Nine Phoenix Demon Lord with its innate divine body.

This was the first time that the Nine-Phoenix Demon Lord had enraged the Crested Ibis Demon Lord to such an extent. Without fear, the Nine-Phoenix Demon Lord revealed his true form. The nine-headed, four-winged monster bird once again spread its wings and pounced on the Crested Ibis Demon Lord. The two innate deities fought each other again.

In an instant, waves of fiery energy swept across the sky, purifying the demonic aura. Wind, rain, thunder, lightning, water, fire, and poisonous mist covered the sky and surged in all directions.

Countless fiery and splendid feathers scattered through the air as the two divine birds, both of which were innate deities, fought fiercely, locked in a stalemate.

As the nine-headed, four-winged monster soared above the Crested Ibis Demon Lord, its three sharp claws pierced the Demon Lord's back. The Demon Lord opened its mouth and spoke in a human voice: "Crested Ibis! Without your eyes, you are utterly blind. What do you have to fight me with?"

However, the divine bird that the Crested Ibis Demon Lord had transformed into completely disregarded its physical injuries, and twisted its body, its wings flapping to stir up heavy flames that crashed down on the Nine-Phoenix Demon Lord.

With the cries of phoenixes and strange howls, the two innate deities fought and eventually arrived above Wanboze again.

In an instant, countless messy fire feathers and poisonous feathers fell on Wanbo Marsh, and the water of Wanbo Marsh, which spanned eight million miles, seemed to be evaporated, causing countless water monsters to flee.

Finally, after the Crested Ibis Demon Lord exhausted all its strength to peck off another head of the nine-headed monster bird with its crimson beak, the Nine-Phoenix Demon Lord, with only six heads left, raised its neck high, and then those six bald and withered heads pierced into the Crested Ibis Demon Lord's body like nails.

Blood splattered everywhere, droplets of crested ibis blood, each possessing the power to burn mountains and boil seas, dripped into the Wanbo Marsh, evaporating endless water vapor and making the entire marsh seem to be boiling, constantly emitting heat.

Meanwhile, the Crested Ibis Demon Lord fell helplessly into the Wanbo Marsh, which seemed to be boiling over.

Seeing that he had defeated the Crested Ibis Demon Lord in a direct confrontation, the Nine-Phoenix Demon Lord let out a sharp cry to the sky. The piercing and eerie cry was like a death knell, causing the heavens and earth to tremble incessantly.

"Crested Ibis! You said you would step on my body and use my life to achieve your Dao fruition."

"But now, I must take your life to fulfill my Dao Fruit of Integration!"

As the Nine-Phoenix Demon Lord spoke, both the six raised heads and the three drooping heads revealed cruel and ferocious smiles.

But before the Nine-Phoenix Demon Lord could finish his complacency, a clear and melodious voice rang out from afar: "Nine-Headed Insect, your life is over, and you deserve to die here!"

As the heavenly sound rang out, the Nine-Phoenix Demon Lord felt a chill run down his spine, as if he were being watched by something terrifying. His six heads looked around frantically, searching for the speaker.

"who is it?!"

"Who's hiding?!"

After a search, the Nine Phoenix Demon Lord finally located the trace in the distance: the trace was not in Wanbo Marsh at all, but on Nine Heads Mountain, right on the top of Nine Heads Mountain!

As the pupils of the Nine-Phoenix Demon Lord's six eyes shrank to the size of needles, he finally saw the figure far away on the summit of Nine-Headed Mountain.

She was dressed in plain white robes and a cloud-patterned skirt, her hair styled in a flying cloud-like bun. In her slender hands she held a longbow that resembled a white zither, and on that longbow, nine arrows were already drawn and ready to be released. The Nine Phoenix Demon Lord could even see that the nine arrows, which were six million miles away, were radiating a clear and cold light unique to the Xuanmen Taoist school.

In an instant, the Nine-Phoenix Demon Lord felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, a chill running down his spine: "You are the Fairy Suqin from the Jade Pool Holy Land of Kunlun Realm?!"

In response to the Nine-Phoenix Demon Lord, there were nine arrows that pierced through the void.

The Fairy Suqin drew her bow to its fullest extent, her eyes clear and cold, yet revealing a glimmer of pure and profound light: "Heavenly Harp's Resounding Sound - Shattering Void and Chasing Life!"

In an instant, nine arrows were fired simultaneously like shooting stars, streaking across the sky in nine streaks of light, striking the nine heads of the Nine Phoenix Demon Lord.

For a moment, all that could be heard was the mournful wail of the Nine Phoenix Demon Lord, like the venomous sound of a deadly pursuer.

As nine heads were pierced by sharp arrows, the Crested Ibis Demon Lord, who had been silent in the Wanbo Marsh, suddenly flapped its wings and burst out of the marsh. Water surged into the sky, and flames roared. With the flapping of its wings, the Crested Ibis Demon Lord's crimson beak, carrying the flowing flames, pierced into the heart of the Nine-Phoenix Demon Lord, shattering its last remaining source of essence.

The Nine Phoenix Demon Lord, whose nine heads had already been pierced, let out another wail. The nine heads that had been drooping rose again but then fell limply down. Its four wings trembled, and its enormous body, which was 100,000 feet long, immediately fell into the Wanbo Marsh. In just a moment, the 8 million-mile-long Wanbo Marsh turned into a poisonous swamp.

On that day, the Nine-Phoenix Demon Lord perished in the Myriad Waves Marsh.
