I, the Villain, Become Invincible the More Descendants I Have

Chapter 93 True Fire Feeds BackThree days later, in the Southern Region’s Hundred Thousand Volcanoes.

Magma churned across the sky, and crimson heatwaves swept through the world. The air itself was scorched until it distorted, and the ground was hot enough to fry an egg.

Emperor Cao Xukun led the five hundred thousand Great Xuan army, arriving majestically at the foot of the volcanoes. The profound black Xuan Dragon flags snapped in the heatwaves, forming a stark contrast with the fiery sky.

Although the soldiers were drenched in sweat, they were all high-spirited and stood in strict formation. Li Tieniu carried his giant axe, wiped the sweat from his face, and cursed, ”This damn place is way too hot! It’s like a giant steamer. That turkey sure knows how to pick a spot; he basically turned his own home into an oven.”

”Don’t be impatient. In a moment, he’ll taste the flavor of being roasted by his own fire.” Emperor Cao Xukun rode on the back of a white elephant, his profound black dragon robe immaculate, with Chaos Spiritual Power circulating around him, isolating the heatwaves. He looked up at the tallest volcano with indifferent eyes, ”Phoenix Emperor Feng Wutian, I have arrived. Don’t disappoint me.”

As soon as he finished speaking, a deafening phoenix cry erupted from the peak of the volcano. A thousand-zhang tall golden phoenix soared into the sky, its wings spreading to cover the sun and sky, causing all the magma in the sky to boil. Phoenix Emperor Feng Wutian stood on the phoenix’s head, wearing a crimson gold imperial robe, holding the Heaven Burning Spear, with roaring Phoenix True Fire burning around him—his posturing was absolutely maxed out.

”Emperor Cao Xukun! You actually dared to come!” Phoenix Emperor Feng Wutian’s voice sounded like exploding fire, spreading throughout the entire volcanic range, ”I thought you would hide in Luoyang like a tortoise! Since you’re here, kneel and surrender obediently, hand over the Great Xuan empire, and I might still leave your corpse intact!”

”Just you?” Emperor Cao Xukun sneered, flipped off the white elephant, and walked slowly toward the volcano, ”A wild chicken that can spit a little fire dares to show off in front of me? I think you, this Phoenix Emperor, should change your name to Roast Chicken Emperor; it fits your fiery getup perfectly.”

”Presumptuous!” Phoenix Emperor Feng Wutian was furious, pointing at Emperor Cao Xukun and roaring sternly, ”How dare you insult my ancient Phoenix Clan! Today, I will show you the power of the Phoenix True Fire! I will burn you to ashes and ensure you never reincarnate for all eternity!”

As he spoke, he slapped the phoenix beneath him. The golden phoenix let out a sharp cry and opened its mouth, spewing a golden pillar of fire dozens of zhang thick, smashing fiercely toward Emperor Cao Xukun.

Wherever the fire pillar passed, rocks melted instantly, and a deep trench was burned into the ground.

”Watch out!” Li Tieniu shouted and was about to rush up to help.

”No need.” Emperor Cao Xukun waved his hand, standing still in place.

Just as the fire pillar was about to smash into him, he slowly raised his right hand, a mass of black Chaos Spiritual Power condensing in his palm.

”Bang!” The fire pillar crashed into the Chaos Spiritual Power and dissipated instantly without a trace, not even a spark remained.

”Impossible!” Phoenix Emperor Feng Wutian’s expression changed drastically, ”This is the ancient Phoenix True Fire! It can burn everything in the world! How could you block it so easily!”

”Is that all?” Emperor Cao Xukun picked his ear, looking disdainful, ”Your fire is only good enough for roasting lamb skewers; it can’t even burn my clothes. Are you embarrassed to bring this out and make a fool of yourself?”

”You’re courting death!” Phoenix Emperor Feng Wutian was thoroughly enraged, leaped off the phoenix, and charged toward Emperor Cao Xukun with the Heaven Burning Spear. ”First Form of the Phoenix Spear Technique—Heaven Burning, Earth Extinguishing!”

The Heaven Burning Spear burned with roaring flames, carrying the power to destroy heaven and earth, stabbing straight at Emperor Cao Xukun’s glabella.

Emperor Cao Xukun dodged to the side and threw a casual punch. The black fist energy collided with the golden spear radiance, emitting a heaven-shaking loud noise.

Phoenix Emperor Feng Wutian felt a massive force transmit through, his arm went numb, the Heaven Burning Spear almost flew out of his hand, and he retreated more than a dozen steps before stabilizing his figure.

”A bit interesting, stronger than that kid Bing Lingtian.” Emperor Cao Xukun flexed his wrists, ”Since you want to play so much, I’ll accompany you for three hundred rounds and let you lose in total submission.”

As he spoke, he turned into a streak of black light and charged toward Phoenix Emperor Feng Wutian.

The two instantly engaged in combat, golden Phoenix True Fire and black Chaos Spiritual Power colliding, erupting in bursts of strong light.

The roaring sound of weapons clashing constantly came from the sky, magma splashed, rocks collapsed, and the entire volcanic range shook violently.

Phoenix Emperor Feng Wutian grew more alarmed the more they fought. He had assumed that he was the Son of Destiny, having awakened the complete Phoenix bloodline, and was invincible among his peers.

But he hadn’t expected Emperor Cao Xukun’s strength to be so terrifying; no matter what move he used, it was easily neutralized by Emperor Cao Xukun.

Moreover, Emperor Cao Xukun’s power was growing stronger and stronger, and he gradually fell into a disadvantage.

”No! I cannot lose! I am the Son of Destiny! I am the true master of the Mortal Realm!”

A flash of madness crossed Phoenix Emperor Feng Wutian’s eyes; he bit the tip of his tongue and sprayed a mouthful of essence blood onto the Heaven Burning Spear.

”Phoenix Secret Technique—Ten Thousand Fires Burning the Heavens!”

In an instant, magma surged into the sky, and countless fire pillars erupted from the ground, surrounding Emperor Cao Xukun completely.

The golden Phoenix True Fire condensed into a giant fire bird, opened its huge beak, and pecked fiercely toward Emperor Cao Xukun.

”Finally, you’ve brought out some real skills.” Emperor Cao Xukun curled his lips into a cold smile, ”However, that’s all there is to it.”

He formed seals with both hands and shouted in a low voice, ”Chaos Devouring Origin Art, Activate!”

A terrifying suction force erupted from within Emperor Cao Xukun’s body.

The Phoenix True Fire that had originally intended to consume him actually turned direction, surging into his body like a tidal wave.

”What?!” Phoenix Emperor Feng Wutian widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief, ”You can actually consume Phoenix True Fire! This is impossible! Phoenix True Fire is the most domineering flame in the world; no one can consume it!”

”There is nothing impossible.” Emperor Cao Xukun said indifferently while consuming the True Fire, ”My Chaos Spiritual Power can consume all energy in the world. Your Phoenix True Fire is nothing more than a great tonic to me. Thank you, Phoenix Emperor Feng Wutian, for specially delivering an experience pack to me.”

As more and more Phoenix True Fire was consumed, Emperor Cao Xukun’s aura grew stronger and stronger.

Meanwhile, Phoenix Emperor Feng Wutian’s face turned pale, his whole body trembled, and the spiritual power within him was rapidly draining away.

He wanted to withdraw the True Fire, but found he couldn’t do it at all; the True Fire seemed to be attracted by a magnet, drilling madly into Emperor Cao Xukun’s body.

”No! Stop! Hurry up and stop!” Phoenix Emperor Feng Wutian shouted in terror, ”My True Fire! That is my Phoenix True Fire!”

”Now it is mine.” Emperor Cao Xukun suddenly increased the suction.

The last trace of Phoenix True Fire was absorbed into his body, and a golden light erupted from around him, his aura surging.

”Pfft—!” Phoenix Emperor Feng Wutian spat out a mouthful of blood, flew backward, and fell heavily to the ground.

His hair turned gray, his face was covered in wrinkles, he instantly aged several decades, and his cultivation plummeted by more than half.

[Ding! Successfully consumed the source of Phoenix True Fire!]

[Obtained reward: Control over Phoenix True Fire!]

[Obtained reward: 50% of Phoenix Emperor Feng Wutian’s luck deprived!]

[Cultivation stabilized at the late stage of Integration Great Perfection! Only one step away from the peak of Integration!]

Emperor Cao Xukun slowly opened his eyes, feeling the Phoenix True Fire surging within him, and nodded with satisfaction.

He raised his hand and waved; a golden flame shot out from his fingertips, instantly burning a small mountain in the distance to ashes.

”Not bad, this True Fire is indeed quite useful.” Emperor Cao Xukun said with a smile, ”Phoenix Emperor Feng Wutian, you really are a qualified worker; not only did you deliver yourself to me to be beaten, but you also gave me such a good gift. I’m almost embarrassed.”

”Emperor Cao Xukun! I’ll fight you to the death!” Phoenix Emperor Feng Wutian struggled to climb up, but fell heavily to the ground again.

He looked at Emperor Cao Xukun, his eyes filled with resentment and unwillingness, ”I am not reconciled! I am the Son of Destiny! I shouldn’t have lost!”

”Son of Destiny?” Emperor Cao Xukun walked slowly in front of him, looking down at him from above, ”In front of me, there is no such thing as a Son of Destiny. So-called destiny is nothing more than something I can rewrite with a wave of my hand. You think you are the chosen one, but in reality, you are just a joke, a stepping stone on my path to the summit.”

Li Tieniu brought the soldiers and rushed over, laughing loudly as he looked at the wretched Phoenix Emperor Feng Wutian: ”Hahaha! You were so arrogant just a moment ago, why are you like a stray dog now? And you call yourself the Phoenix Emperor; I think you’re just a piece of trash! Emperor Xuan is awesome! You ate his fire directly; this wave is simply reverse output, pure profit!”

The Phoenix Clan soldiers saw Phoenix Emperor Feng Wutian’s crushing defeat, and each one was scared out of their wits, their morale in chaos.

Many had already started to secretly retreat, wanting to run away.

And on a nearby hill, Feng Qingyan, accompanied by a few trusted elders, watched all of this quietly.

She wore a white dress, her appearance was stunning, her temperament was cold and aloof, there was a vermilion mole between her brows, and faint Golden Luck lingered around her.

Looking at Emperor Cao Xukun’s tall, straight back, a complex light flashed in her eyes.

”Great Elder, what should we do now?” an elder asked in a low voice, ”The Young Master has been defeated; we are simply no match for Emperor Cao Xukun.”

Feng Qingyan was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke, her voice cold and firm: ”Phoenix Emperor Feng Wutian is arrogant and self-willed, completely unworthy of being the leader of the Phoenix Clan. For the future of the entire clan, we must make other plans.”

Emperor Cao Xukun looked up at the hill where Feng Qingyan was, a playful smile curling at the corner of his mouth.
