Chapter 1370 Survive!
Five Feathers waved her hand to mobilize her Earth Dao and created an enormous stretch of dark piles of earth floating in the void before reciting an incantation:
"Everything will eventually return to Earth: the body, the soul, man's wealth and treasure, and that also includes their sins and resentments — [Earth's Reincarnation]."
Many people watching this battle were shocked. Five Feathers successfully used Earth Dao to control Reincarnation Dao. Such manipulation is often expected with geniuses — especially when it involves high Daos, like reincarnation — but they saw it from someone unexpected. These people now finally understood when their ancestors warned them with the saying: "Paragons are Paragons, no matter how weak or terrible they are or looked." Five Feather's maneuver proves that no simple individual can reach this realm.
The resentment creature screamed as a powerful force pulled him toward the earth. It tried to resist, but the pull was its antithesis, just as its existence was contrary to Five Feathers. Then, with one last look of unwillingness and anger, the creature flew toward the earth.
Undead Phoenix realized what was happening and decided to do something about it. Sadly, it was too late. Five Feathers rushed toward him, and their fists clashed, generating shockwaves that tore apart the spatial integrity of their surroundings.
'Why is her flesh so powerful?' Undead Phoenix asked before realizing that the karmic sins must have tempered with her body. Adding that she was a phoenix with a decent fleshly body, Five Feathers was now considered a somewhat accomplished impure body refiner.
"You damn pest," Undead Phoenix roared. He summoned a bone trident followed by a pair of bone wings. He ignored the summon from the Earth above him. Such a new technique was not enough to affect him. "I'm done playing around with you," he said with gritted teeth.
He teleported before her and stabbed his trident with all the force he could muster. Five Feathers's face became serious as she sensed this attack contained the power to strip her of her vitality. She summoned a sharp golden sword with a tinge of red made from her Metal Dao and weaved some karmic sins into it.
Clink!
The sounds of metal clashing reverberated across this realm, leaving devastating effects. Some parts of this area instantly lost their vitality, meaning that mortal cultivators immediately lost most of their lifespans and died of old age, while immortals aged and became weaker. Additionally, the soil lost its moisture, meaning that from now on, unless someone fixes this area, these places will be dead and cannot grow any normal or spiritual food or herbs. The area touched by Five Feathers did not fare much better. Her Metal Sword embodied one of the main characteristics of Gold Dao — sharpness. However, Five Feathers went even further by using the power of resentment to boost her sword's cutting power. As such, the places that the attack reached were cut into particles smaller than atoms, leaving nothing in sight, including matter, energy, and even time and space.
Undead Phoenix felt a sense of shame and anger. This woman has always been weaker than him, and the only reason he had not avenged himself was due to the restriction or balance of the others. Now, he could do so, but he was failing. How could he accept that? How many nights did he spend thinking about what he would do to this woman once he had the chance? Fate had given him the chance, but it also laughed at him.
"I must kill you," Undead Phoenix roared after Five Feathers blocked another attack. The world suddenly turned black and white, and a spatial tear appeared above Undead Phoenix, showing a towering phoenix. The odd thing about that creature was it was all bones, but that only increased the deathly aura. The beast opened its bony mouth to fire a black beam, instantly raising Five Feathers's senses to the highest level.
'I'm going to die' was the first thing that popped into her mind, and no matter what she did, she could not remove this idea, no, this sensation from her soul. She immediately used her most potent defensive measure by connecting herself to the "earth" of the entire world.
Five Feather soon noticed it was easier, especially the initial connection. She instantly figured out that was because she had a deep connection to the Grand Nirvana World after wiping out all mortals from this place. Her focus did not remain on this aspect since the sense of danger did not dissipate.
Five Feather added her other Dao to this technique. With her metal Dao, she could connect to all the ores and veins on the ground; the Water Dao allowed her to communicate with all rivers, oceans, and water sources. Finally, the Wood Dao granted her access to all plants, forests, and so on. With all these things or concepts protected, Five Feather felt safe but realized that even this was not enough.
'Damn it, what kind of technique is this?' she complained. Little did she know that Undead Phoenix had been brewing this technique for countless yuan epochs for this one chance at killing her.
'I can't die — not now,' Five Feathers thought with gritted teeth. She still had a few lives to live, so dying was not that much of an issue. The problem was the curse and the Body of Sin. If she died now, she knew the curse backlash would instantly activate and wipe her out from the face of the world.
'What can I do?' Five Feathers thought. While on the verge of death, she forced herself to remain calm and pushed her ability to the limit. Her eyes shone as she found the answer. While on the verge of death, she used all her karmic sins to understand a little bit of Karma Dao. If this understanding were quantified, it would probably equal less than 2% Grand Dao Source, but that was enough.
With this new Daos, Five Feathers realized she could not access all the karmic sins she had done in her life. She and all the other moons committed many terrible things during their reign, but now, she could use these things. She did not hesitate to empower her Five Element Nature Defense Technique.
Boom!
A shockwave traversed Heaven and Earth, bringing back the color that had been lost. The devastation was catastrophic, to say the least, but most capable cultivators had already left. A maniacal laughter full of joy and a hint of sneer echoed between heaven and earth.
"I survived! I survived! You bastard, you thought you could kill me? Hahahaha."
Five Feathers only had a few wounds on her body; by any standards, they were minor — especially for a Paragon. Meanwhile, Undead Phoenix had a contorted face; his skin had basically turned red from the pale shade, showing how high his anger had reached.
"I'LL KILL YOU," he roared, his voice more bestial than human. However, Five Feathers calmly teleported away, leaving a few words that echoed in the surroundings: "This battle was fun, so let's do it again after I've truly mastered my new strength."
Undead Phoenix roared again, his voice shaking heaven and earth. His madness had reached another level after losing his target, and it was apparent that he was about to go on a rampage. However, before he could start, he felt a killing so cold and terrifying that it sent a chill down his spine and awakened his wisdom. He looked around, trying to find the source to no avail. However, Undead Phoenix knew that something terrible would happen if he started killing people without rhyme or reason. So, he took one last glance in Five Feathers's direction before returning to his territory.
Wang Wei's invisible projection took one last glance at him before dissipating. Five Feathers had already killed so many mortals, and he could not have someone else go on a rampage.
Wang Wei sat alone in his dimension; the chill in the surrounding hadn't abated in the slightest. He knew he needed to do something, or the good situation he had created would be destroyed.
"First, I need to put a damper on these cultivators, who will become emboldened after this war and start to hunt mortals to increase their lifespan," he muttered. "And the best way to do so is to use cruelty."
Wang Wei waved his hand to summon countless subordinates, all immortals with a few Tier 11 — including Empyreans. These people were the Creation Lifeforms that survived the tribulation during his previous retreat. He sent orders directly into their mind:
"This is the first true mission I've given you. Don't disappoint me."
"We will not let you down, Creator," they said in unison. Wang Wei dismissed them before changing his location. "The next step is also to dampen Five Feathers' ambitions. I can't have her keep slaughtering mortals."
He gritted his teeth, thinking about what just happened. Wang Wei also understood why Supreme Unity did not stop these two from fighting since their war would complete his objective.
