Spiritual Energy Revival: Transform Into a Divine Phoenix, Automatically Upgrade

223: Chapter 223 The Curtain of the Great Battle”The Ancient Divine Phoenix?! Yes, it’s all its fault. If it hadn’t rashly entered the Qinling Mountains, how could it have provoked such a mythical creature!”

”Three thousand soldiers... Since the founding of our Great Xia Kingdom, there has never been such a massive casualty count, right!”

”Why must our Jianghai City be so disaster-ridden... It is all because of the Ancient Divine Phoenix. I said long ago that our Jianghai City must eliminate the Ancient Divine Phoenix immediately. Otherwise, how could this current uncontrollable situation have arisen!”

”Enough, all of you, stop talking!” Mayor Lin roared, ”Look at yourselves. Do you still look like the senior leaders of a city? Even if you are terrified by that evil dragon, there should be a limit!”

He continued, ”Who could have afforded the cost of eliminating the Ancient Divine Phoenix before? None of you said anything then, but now you are all playing the hindsight game. You change your stance way too quickly!”

With his excellent ability to control his rationality, the annoyed Mayor Lin quickly regained his composure. Seeing that many leaders still looked dejected and flustered, he spoke up.

”Rest assured, even if the Ancient Divine Phoenix cannot drive away that evil dragon, I still have a backup plan.”

”Is that true, Mayor Lin? Our only Electromagnetic Railgun in stock has already been destroyed by the evil dragon...”

”That terrifying mythical dragon-type creature possesses flight capabilities just like the Ancient Divine Phoenix. Besides a weapon with such powerful firepower and extreme firing speed as the Electromagnetic Railgun, what other large-scale weapon could possibly harm it?”

The many leaders were filled with doubt and curiosity. Although they did not receive an answer, seeing Mayor Lin’s calm and confident expression, they still believed what he had said earlier.

The dejected expressions of the leaders in the conference room were swept away, and hope emerged.

”Go quickly and notify the troops on the outskirts of Jianghai City to restore the real-time video feed immediately. We need to know information about that evil dragon at the first opportunity!”

”Yes!”

Just as the leaders of Jianghai City were anxious and frantic about the situation in the suburbs, the citizens living in Jianghai City also noticed that something was wrong in the suburbs.

”A special thunderstorm has appeared again at a specific location in the southern suburbs of Jianghai City? Why hasn’t the city meteorological bureau issued a warning?”

”Are you stupid? This situation is clearly an anomaly caused by the Ancient Divine Phoenix at Divine Phoenix Mountain again!”

”Oh, oh... I see.”

”It is said that a while ago, our Jianghai City dispatched two regiments to station near Divine Phoenix Mountain. Could it be that the city officials want to take action against the Ancient Divine Phoenix?”

”Probably not. The Ancient Divine Phoenix doesn’t seem to have caused any damage to our Jianghai City. It’s probably just a routine military defense operation...”

”That’s hard to say. The officials won’t let a giant creature as fast as lightning live around the city.”

”Hmm, what you said also makes sense...”

Many people in the city had their attention drawn to the special thunderstorm in the southern suburbs. This kind of dark cloudy weather had appeared several times before, accompanied by golden lightning, and some people analyzed afterwards that it was a weather change caused by the Ancient Divine Phoenix.

Now that the local special weather has occurred again, it is easy to associate it with the Ancient Creature living on Divine Phoenix Mountain.

”I don’t think the city officials will take action against the Ancient Divine Phoenix right now. Think about it... not long ago, they used a huge amount of manpower and massive resources to build the majestic Divine Phoenix Mountain for the Ancient Divine Phoenix. How could they be going to war in the blink of an eye? Isn’t that just a joke?!”

”That’s right...”

Boom!

Just as many city citizens were discussing while looking at the dark clouds in the distant sky, a massive explosion sound came from afar!

It made countless people shudder, not knowing what had happened...

Some people used high-magnification binoculars to look into the distance and clearly saw a clear environment appear after the dark cloud explosion and fire waves vanished. Then, in that clear environment, they saw a long, strip-shaped creature...

”This creature is not the Ancient Divine Phoenix!”

”Hiss... what kind of monster is it? Even from such a long distance, where it is just a small black line in my field of vision, it makes me feel a chill in my heart!”

Many people noticed this. Among them, quite a few quietly slipped out of the city; most of them were outdoor streamers and media reporters seeking traffic, with very few ordinary people venturing out.

An hour later, when a media company’s helicopter flew over the outskirts of Jianghai City and saw the traces of collapsed ground, the staff on the helicopter were shocked!

”Where is the Jianghai City army? Where have they all gone? Why can’t I see a single shadow?!”

”According to what the company saw through the binoculars just now, that mysterious creature sprayed a dazzling red light towards the ground...”

”Reporter Lü, are you saying that the cause of the collapse on the ground was caused by that mysterious creature?! What nonsense are you talking about? How could a creature have this kind of power with such a huge commotion?!”

”Even the Ancient Divine Phoenix probably couldn’t cause such a huge commotion, right?!”

”Hmm... I think so too...”

Roar!!!

At this moment, a deep, high-pitched, strange roar came from afar. This roar fell into the ears of the several staff members inside the helicopter, instantly causing their minds to go blank and their faces to turn pale!

The helicopter pilot was the same, causing the helicopter to wobble and begin to plummet downwards!

The sensation of weightlessness instantly woke the few people whose minds had gone blank, ”Hurry and control the helicopter!”

”Oh, oh!!!”

The helicopter returned to a stable flight state, but the few staff members did not breathe a sigh of relief because a terrifying word appeared in their blank and weak minds.

A few seconds later, one staff member trembled with pale lips.

”Is this the sound of a dragon’s roar?”

The others were silent. They were terrified and confused in their hearts. Why, even though they had clearly never seen a creature like a dragon, could they tell that this was a dragon’s roar...

”I think the situation here is a bit complicated... How about we evacuate from here.”

The helicopter pilot suggested, and it was echoed by the few people present; no one wanted to stay in such a dangerous place.

Turning around, the few people looked towards the distant Divine Phoenix Mountain. A wave of powerful pressure came from above Divine Phoenix Mountain. The dark clouds in that area were rolling rapidly, and golden light and crimson light flashed from time to time, as if ten thousand tons of thunder were brewing.

It gave them goosebumps, and their body’s instinct to avoid harm made them leave quickly.

Just as they were preparing to leave, they turned around and saw several helicopters heading in the direction of Divine Phoenix Mountain.

”Are they courting death?! It’s so dangerous there now, yet they are still going over?”

”They must be crazy, all for fame and traffic!”

Regardless of how they, the humans, reacted, a great war was breaking out above Divine Phoenix Mountain...

PS: There have been a lot of things going on lately. The renovation that was airing out for the past few months is done, and I am busy moving... There is a high probability that updates will resume later.
