Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

A phoenix’s cry sounded from within the palace, followed by a burst of powerful aura!

That was the fluctuation of a True Immortal’s core energy.

“Oh, she has broken through to a True Immortal.”

Huang Yuyi was a little surprised, but her displeasure intensified.

Although she was also a True Immortal, she sensed that Chu Hong’s newly broken-through True Immortal aura was much more powerful than hers back then!

In other words, if she were to face off against Chu Hong back when she had just become a True Immortal, chances were that she would likely lose!

“D*mn it. It must be Huang Jinghuang’s inheritance!”

“Her inheritance was supposed to belong to me in the first place,” Huang Yuyi said as she gritted her teeth with dissatisfaction.

Meanwhile, on a mountain top beyond the restriction seals, a white figure was standing proudly with an otherworldly aura emanating from him.

Having sensed the True Immortal aura coming from the palace, he chuckled. “It looks like Lil Red has broken through to a True Immortal.”

That person was none other than Chu Kuangren.

He had been there for two months and merely chose not to reveal himself.

After all, with Huang Jinghuang’s restrictions still active, the sky-prides eyeing Chu Hong’s inheritance could not enter the palace for the time being. Hence, he decided to observe the situation from afar.

“Master, although Lil Red has become a True Immortal, the surrounding restrictions will soon be broken through. I’m afraid the other sky-prides will not let her go that easily.” Lan Yu, who was beside him, said anxiously.

Although everyone knew about Chu Hong’s relationship with Chu Kuangren, some would not dare to attack her for fear of Chu Kuangren.

However, Prodigies like Loong Zhen and Huang Yuyi would not give up that easily.

Whether it be their desire to obtain Huang Jinghuang’s inheritance or their arrogance, they would never back down easily regardless.

“It’s fine either way. I’m here.” Chu Kuangren chuckled, not the slightest bit worried about the crowd of Prodigies at all.

With him around, would the Prodigies dare to kill Chu Hong?

“This is Lil Red’s Opportunity of Fortune and training, so I won’t interfere unless her life is at risk. Besides, I’m also eager to find out how much she has improved throughout the last few years,” Chu Kuangren replied with a laugh. That was the main reason why he had not revealed himself.

Every sky-pride had to undergo hardships and training to improve, and Chu Hong was no exception.

He also believed that Chu Hong never wished to forever be a bird living under his wing for protection.

Her goal was to become a supreme Godly Phoenix that could soar through the skies unchallenged and without fear!

Inside the palace, Chu Hong suddenly opened her eyes, revealing the golden-red Phoenix Flame burning within. Her scorching and domineering aura immediately spread throughout the whole palace.

“Congratulations, you are now a True Immortal.” Huang Jinghuang’s voice sounded.

“It’s all thanks to you and your inheritance, Senior Sister Jinghuang. I’m deeply grateful for everything you’ve done for me.”

“Since I’ve chosen you as the inheritor of my legacy, my inheritance is as good as yours. There’s no need to thank me. Besides, my Immortal Consciousness is going to disperse soon, including the restrictions I’ve placed outside. However, seeing the crowd of people outside eyeing to steal what you’ve obtained, are you confident you can deal with them?” said Huang Jinghuang calmly.

“Hmph. No matter how hard the path ahead lies, I will never give up or back down. After all, I have to uphold your legacy, Senior Sister Jinghuang, and become as powerful as the Phoenix Forefather one day!”

As Chu Hong laughed, a raging fighting intent erupted from her body.

“Very well. I hope you can fulfill my dying wish and reign supreme in the skies!”

Huang Jinghuang chuckled, and her Immortal Consciousness dissipated right after.

Chu Hong slowly stood up and bowed in the direction Huang Jinghuang’s Immortal Consciousness disappeared. Then, she looked outside the palace with flames seemingly burning in her eyes.

“I shall use all of you to test my newfound strength!”

…

When the restrictions outside the palace suddenly dissipated, Huang Yuyi, Loong Zhen, and the other sky-prides’ eyes immediately lit up. “We did it!”

Some of the sky-prides immediately turned into a ray of light and dashed toward the palace as they could not control their desires for the treasures any longer.

“I don’t care who you are and whether you’re related to Chu Kuangren, hand over the treasures right now!”

“That’s right. The treasures belong to people who deserve them, people like us!”

Although those sky-prides were not as powerful as the Prodigies, some of them were still formidable opponents. Otherwise, they would not have the courage to steal Chu Hong’s treasures.

Just as they were approaching the palace, a wave of golden-red Phoenix Flames and a burst of tyrannical aura swept out!

Boom!

The sky-prides who charged forth took the brunt of the attack and were blasted away by the burst of Phoenix Flame. The weaker ones among them immediately burned into ashes on the spot!

The Phoenix Flames were domineering, as if hellbent on setting the world on fire!

Amidst the scorching Phoenix Flames, a mighty red figure walked out proudly!

She had a delicate appearance, donned in bright red armor while exuding a domineering and noble aura…

It was as if a warrior queen had appeared, and her chilling aura instantly shocked all who were present!

“Now, who shall be my first opponent?!”

Chu Hong furrowed her eyebrows while her fiery-red eyes swept across every sky-pride at the scene.

For a moment, everyone present became afraid.

On the mountain peak far away, Chu Kuangren let out a proud and satisfied smile. “Did you see that, Lan Yu? Now that’s my sister!”

Lan Yu chuckled. “Master has always been unparalleled and magnificent, so I guess the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree with Lil Red.”

Outside the palace, Chu Hong stepped forth with golden-red Phoenix Flames swirling around her. Every move she made emanated a domineering aura.

At that moment, Chu Hong’s flames had seemingly reached the pinnacle of aggression!

“How dare a wild Godly Phoenix like you act with such insolence before me?!”

Huang Yuyi glared at Chu Hong.

Then, she approached Chu Hong and raised her hand, unleashing a giant palm made out of Phoenix Flames forward!

“Oh, Phoenix Flames, huh? You’re from the Phoenix’s Nest.”

‘Judging by her aura, she’s a Prodigy from the Phoenix’s Nest!’

Chu Hong’s eyes lit up. “Very well. I shall find out how powerful I am against the Phoenix’s Nest’s Prodigy then!”

She did not evade nor retreat. Instead, she unleashed a similar attack with her Phoenix Flames.

When the two Phoenix Flames collided in the void, explosions broke out in the surrounding terrain.

Everywhere was burned to nothing by the two Phoenix Flames.

“Phoenix Claw!”

Huang Yuyi raised her hand, unleashing her Phoenix Flames once more. This time, her hand turned into a gigantic claw that came crashing down from the sky!

“Phoenix Claw!”

Chu Hong immediately retaliated with the same cultivation technique, refusing to back down!

The two Phoenix Claw attacks clashed against each other, forcing the two Godly Phoenixes backward.

“That’s a Phoenix’s Nest cultivation technique. You’ve obtained Huang Jinghuang’s inheritance!”

At that, Huang Yuyi’s expression turned cold.

“As a younger generation among the Phoenix’s Nest, you shouldn’t address Senior Sister by her name but as Phoenix Queen,” said Chu Hong indifferently. She was clearly displeased with Huang Yuyi’s attitude.

“Hmph. To think she gave her inheritance to an unknown and wild Godly Phoenix like you instead of me? She must be blind. What kind of Phoenix Queen does that?”

“How dare you!”

Chu Hong’s gaze became more chilling.

Having given Chu Hong her inheritance, Huang Jinghuang was now akin to her teacher. How could Chu Hong possibly allow others to disrespect Huang Jinghuang in such a manner?

“Come, my Heavenly Phoenix Standard!”

A golden-red standard suddenly appeared in Chu Hong’s grasp.

As she waved the flag on the standard, the surrounding Phoenix Flames strengthened and became even more terrifying. At that moment, her Phoenix Flames overpowered Huang Yuyi’s.

“That’s the Heavenly Phoenix Standard! An item that Huang Jinghuang used during her youth.”

Huang Yuyi looked jealous.

Hence, she took out an Arch Gilded Immortal Weapon, a colorful orb brimming with Immortal Sparks and emanating a powerful scorching aura.

Although both were Arch Gilded Immortal Weapons, the orb paled in comparison to the Heavenly Phoenix Standard.

“I shall prove to Huang Jinghuang in heaven that giving you her inheritance was the biggest mistake she has ever made!” Huang Yuyi said with a scowl.
