Douluo Continent: Starting from Leading Ferocious Beasts to Transform into Demons

Chapter 85 Is the Ice Phoenix Not a Phoenix?

Ma Hongjun was naturally surprised that the other party was so decisive, launching an attack while he was gathering his power.

Although its power was greatly reduced, the force generated by the explosion should not be underestimated.

It should be noted that the phoenix he condensed after inheriting the Phoenix Godhood was not an illusion, but a real body of flesh and blood.

However, he still had to take the attack head-on, because the chains had just bound his body and the space around him, preventing him from dodging.

However, he couldn't afford to be at a disadvantage. The phoenix flames continuously burned his body, repairing the injuries caused by the explosion. At the same time, he used this power to quickly merge with the other phoenix heads, becoming a true fire phoenix.

As soon as the power fusion was completed, the other party trapped him in a space. Through the Red King's words, he learned that this was the bone tower that the other party had just revealed.

To Ma Hongjun's surprise, the other party also followed them in.

"Could it be that this bone tower of yours is meant to suppress beasts like you?"

Ma Hongjun revealed a mocking smile; he needed to gather intelligence on the Bone Tower.

"Look at yourself, are you even human?"

The Red King scoffed, "They still have the nerve to talk about them? They don't even have a human form anymore."

Ma Hongjun remained indifferent. This was the price to pay for becoming the Phoenix God, but it was only a transformation during battle, and he could still bear this price.

"Destruction God's Thunder".

By this time, Brigitte had already completed her transformation. The demons themselves were all quite capable of surviving, so it would be better to start a righteous group fight.

Countless black spheres appeared behind Brigitte, crackling sounds echoing through the space, spreading an aura of destruction.

"Blessing!"

With a gentle flick of his finger, the Bone Tower glowed faintly, and then a flash of light fell upon Brigitte, causing her aura to suddenly increase. This was one of the Bone Tower's functions: to enhance power.

"Attribute Enhancement - Ten Thousandfold Harmony".

The illusory runes around Brigitte materialized and then collapsed, engulfing her, but Brigitte's power increased significantly once again.

Especially the countless bolts of destructive divine lightning behind him, their destructive power spreading out and merging with each other, making the originally scattered bolts of destructive divine lightning seem somewhat unable to break through.

"What's the point of playing this game?"

Ma Hongjun spat lightly, "Three against one, that's really shameless."

"Phoenix God-Slaying Strike!"

Despite this, Ma Hongjun did not intend to sit idly by and wait for his death. The flames on his body gradually rose, and he transformed into a phoenix avatar that was tens of meters tall.

The fiery phoenix soared into the sky and then flew straight towards the three demons.

At the same time, the destructive divine lightning, amplified through multiple layers, met the oncoming phoenix avatar. Explosions rang out one after another as the destructive power intertwined and eroded the phoenix flames, followed by a secondary explosion.

Sensing the power fluctuations at the center of the explosion, the phoenix folded its wings to envelop its body, transforming into a giant egg of fire.

The Crimson King methodically raised the bone wall, upon which grew countless faces—the vengeful spirits of the soul beasts that had once died.

A faint golden light enveloped the bone wall, then rapidly thickened, obscuring the face on the wall. No one knew how many golden talismans the demon spirit had used, or how afraid of death it was.

A tremendous roar resounded, and the aftershocks spread outwards, attempting to destroy everything inside the tower.

The giant fiery egg swayed precariously in the aftershocks, seemingly in a precarious situation, but in reality it remained perfectly still and appeared to have suffered almost no damage.

The golden light dissipated layer by layer in the aftershocks, but unfortunately, the aftershocks were ultimately powerless to continue, and disappeared after breaking through half of the golden light.

Sensing the aftershocks were about to dissipate, Ma Hongjun immediately withdrew his defenses and used his body to withstand the lingering force. At the same time, boundless flames erupted from his mouth, intending to catch his enemy off guard.

"What the hell?!"

The phoenix flames continuously repaired his injuries, but to Ma Hongjun's anger, the golden light quickly melted away under the scorching flames, and he had indeed failed to attack his opponent. This sneak attack was a complete failure, and it could be said that he lost both his wife and his army.

"hateful!"

The flames continued to burn, and Ma Hongjun kept replenishing them. However, the golden light also continued to thicken, as the demon spirits under the defense kept throwing out golden light talismans.

"Demon spirit, just how many Golden Light Talismans have you prepared?"

The Crimson King shook his head. He had never fought a demon spirit before, but based on what Master Lu had said about the characteristics of talisman masters, he knew that the other party was not to be trifled with. Today, he had witnessed it with his own eyes.

"Not many, just a few million, but it took me a lot of time to prepare them."

The demon's pale purple eyes shifted slightly, while countless illusory golden runes flew outwards to replenish its defenses.

"Tsk, this is going to be a long wait."

Brigitte was dressed in a black dress, her body radiating destructive power, and her face was full of disdain.

"I remember you said before, Demon Spirit, that you had prepared more than just one or two defensive talismans, and many high-level talismans, but only a few of them."

The Crimson King opened his mouth but didn't speak. He remembered that the power inside was pre-sealed, and detonating it would consume almost nothing for the demon spirit.

Not only the Golden Light Talisman, but also other defensive talismans. The Crimson King looked at the bone wall that was completely unaffected, as if he could see the poor man breathing fire through the bone wall.

Ma Hongjun was indeed exhausted. How many more layers of that damned golden light were there? Although he still had a lot of divine power in his body, he couldn't just keep going like this.

Beneath Ma Hongjun's feet, a barely perceptible red light flashed, completely inconspicuous under the raging flames.

The magic weapon crafted by the Crimson King also has the ability to absorb the opponent's power to replenish itself, not to mention the added blessing of another magic weapon that Lu Wu once bestowed upon him.

Otherwise, how could a mere pagoda made from mortal bones, and crafted by the half-baked Red King, possibly withstand Ma Hongjun's power for so long?

Ma Hongjun suddenly stopped the flames and squinted at the increasingly thick layer of golden light.

As expected, the golden light gradually thickened without the influence of the flames, and then stopped at a stable thickness.

Ma Hongjun discovered a weakness in the opponent's strategy: these items were all one-time use items with very short durations, and if he didn't attack them, the opponent would only waste their power.

"He discovered the flaw."

The demon spirit said calmly. He didn't expect the other party to be stupid as a pig. That's the weakness of talismans. Most talismans can only last for a short time.

Fortunately, he was steady enough that as long as he carried enough, even if each card could only last for a second, he could hold out for several days.

"Spirit Annihilation Slash!"

The golden light and bone wall vanished quickly, and Bi Ji's figure burst out from them, a blade formed from the power of destruction appearing in her hand, which she slashed straight at Ma Hongjun.

Ma Hongjun raised an eyebrow, seemingly surprised by the other party's decisiveness.

The extreme cold surged toward the direction Brigitte had cleaved, and Brigitte instinctively shivered, her body stiffening slightly. An ice spike shot up from the ground, as if it could pierce through Brigitte in the next second.

Brigitte's figure suddenly disappeared and instantly appeared beside the Crimson King. In this bone tower, he could move anyone's position at any time, and the more they resisted, the more power they consumed.

"The power of extreme ice?"

Brigitte looked at the bloodstain on her fair wrist, where frost had already formed. The cold air was constantly seeping into her body through the wound, but it was directly annihilated by the power of destruction.

"How did you do that?"

A green light flashed, and the wound disappeared. Brigitte was a healer, so this kind of injury was a piece of cake for her.

But what intrigued them most was how the other party managed to do it.

"I am the Phoenix God!"

"Although it was a fire phoenix that ascended to godhood, there are many other phoenixes besides the fire phoenix!"

A smile appeared on Ma Hongjun's face. Who knew how many days and nights he had endured the conflict between ice and fire for this moment?
