Alchemy Master

Chapter 968, Phoenix Prestige

Translator: Silavin

Inexplicably, the world became scorching hot. That temperature made one feel as though one’s entire being would burst into flames.

Visible ripples with Feng Qianxue at their centre spread outward in all directions.

She had changed!

In everyone’s impression, she’d been delicate. No matter what difficulties she encountered, she would always rely on that young man who stood before her.

She was forever the little girl hiding behind him.

But when she learned that the Older Brother Yichen she depended upon was gone…

Her sky collapsed!

A fury originating from her soul’s depths blazed fiercely!

“I killed him. So what?” Chen Feng hovered in mid-air, the corner of his mouth still curved in a bloodthirsty arc. Compared to directly killing people, he preferred witnessing those faces filled with anger, terror, and despair.

“You killed Older Brother Yichen…”

“You killed my Older Brother Yichen…”

Feng Qianxue seemed not to hear him at all, continuing to murmur to herself. Simultaneously, the ripples emanating from her body became more pronounced. The temperature had risen to an astonishing degree, where even the air seemed ready to ignite.

Mu Yanfeng, Chen Hui, and the Mu Family members were all forced to continuously distance themselves from her.

Because that temperature caused even Chen Hui to feel his skin burning painfully, let alone the Mu Family members.

“Older Brother Yichen…!!” Finally, the accumulated fury reached its apex. Feng Qianxue erupted.

“Ah!!…” She cried out toward the Heavens, her voice saturated with helplessness, panic, rage, and… killing intent.

*Boom!* The instant her killing intent exploded, the entire space burst into flames. Endless fire spread from her delicate body, surging skyward.

*Screech!* As the flames ascended, a cry that resonated through Heaven and Earth emerged from within Feng Qianxue’s body. Then, a True Phoenix Manifestation appeared behind her delicate form, swirling and dancing within those flames, condensing into shape.

This was an enormous True Phoenix formed from condensed flames. Its spread wings nearly covered the entire mountaintop where Feng Qianxue stood. Its Phoenix tail extended for several kilometres, burning everything, forcing everyone to retreat again and again.

After this True Phoenix appeared, crimson flames swept out like a storm, permeating the entire sky. The temperature of the entire space reached an extremely astonishing level. Trees tens of kilometres away spontaneously combusted, while within several kilometres, even mountain stones melted into magma, making Feng Qianxue appear as though standing atop a volcano.

“This is… could this possibly be… a Phoenix?”

“How is this possible!? Does she actually possess the legendary… Phoenix Martial Soul!?”

Never mind the Mu Family member, even Mu Yanfeng and those two Peak Stage Martial Ancestors from Radiance Sacred Land stared in complete shock, dumbstruck by this scene.

A Phoenix!

A Phoenix Martial Soul!

This was a legendary Martial Soul!

“No wonder the Sacred Master allowed her to travel to Saints Heavenly City…” Mu Yanfeng immediately understood why Yu Qianqiu had permitted the seemingly delicate Feng Qianxue to accompany them in climbing the Heaven Stairway.

He could only smile bitterly.

If only one person amongst their trio could enter Saints Heavenly Manor, then without question, that person would be… Feng Qianxue!

“It’s you who killed Older Brother Yichen!”

“You killed my Older Brother Yichen!”

Feng Qianxue’s ice-cold voice, capable of freezing one’s very Soul, emanated from within that blazing True Phoenix. Then the True Phoenix spread its wings and actually took flight.

With merely a flap of its wings, flames surged skyward, as though the entire Heaven and Earth had ignited. The world that had darkened due to the black radiance now brightened once more.

“You… must die!” As Feng Qianxue spoke, the massive True Phoenix seemed to speak as well. A terrifying Phoenix Prestige, as though arriving from ancient times itself, descended with overwhelming force.

At this moment, all sounds ceased!

At this moment, every wild beast within thousands of miles prostrated itself on the ground. Even insects and ants dozens of feet underground trembled with fear.

In this moment, every living being’s Soul shuddered!

This… was Phoenix Prestige!

This was pressure upon the very Soul. She was like a deity gazing down from on high at all living things below.

*Boom!* Facing the Phoenix Prestige directly, Chen Feng felt all the Yuan Energy around him being drained away. He could not even maintain his position suspended in mid-air.

The previous moment, he’d been imposing and all powerful, like a Killing God. Now, he fell straight down. Though the height would not cause excessive misery, it left him thoroughly dishevelled.

“How is this possible!?”

This might be the first time since obtaining the inheritance that Chen Feng displayed such fear.

Yes, fear!

Because he suddenly realised that his killing aura had been suppressed within his body. Not even a trace could leak out.

In this moment, he was like someone completely defenceless. Before this massive True Phoenix, he could only await slaughter!

Therefore, he felt fear.

Even facing the Radiance Sacred Master, at most he would merely be wary of the Saints. Deep down, he had always looked down upon the Radiance Sacred Master.

He was arrogant!

He believed himself to be that supreme Killing God!

Yet now, he discovered how insignificant he truly was. He was like an ant before a deity, without even the strength to resist.

In this moment, he finally deeply comprehended the Phoenix Prestige’s terrifying power.

Feng Qianxue stood within that enormous True Phoenix, her eyes crimson red like burning flames. The surrounding flames’ temperature continued rising due to the fury in her heart. Space itself seemed unable to withstand that temperature, ready to crack from the heat.

In this moment, she had actually broken through to the Martial Ancestor Realm!

Because of her breakthrough, that massive flaming Phoenix became even more solid. Flames surged skyward, incinerating everything.

Yet Feng Qianxue remained completely undisturbed. Within her crimson eyes was only indifference, devoid of any emotion.

In this moment, she was that Phoenix from the Nine Heavens, gazing down upon all living things!

“Pitiful…” Watching Chen Feng, who lacked even the strength to resist under Phoenix Prestige’s pressure, Mu Yanfeng’s heart filled with sighs.

However, he knew that if he were in Chen Feng’s position, he would definitely fare no better, perhaps even worse.

Chen Feng’s strength was not inferior to his own!

“We need to flee!” Those two Peak Stage Martial Ancestors from Radiance Sacred Land exchanged glances upon witnessing this scene, preparing to retreat. But the next moment, they felt a cold gaze locked upon them. They sensed that if they moved even slightly, death would instantly follow. Both men immediately broke into profuse sweat, nearly collapsing. They froze rigidly in place, not daring to move.
