The Immortal Emperor Returns

Chapter 525 - Phoenix Flower!


Chapter 525 Phoenix Flower!

Chu Xun had lost interest in hunting demonic beasts. They might seem very powerful to others, but for him, killing them was not a challenging task at all.

He began to regret having taken the three missions. However, giving up halfway was inconsistent with his way. In the end, he walked into the Stone Tree Forest.

The woman in a black robe did not follow him into the forest. She seemed to cherish her life very much. She remained uninterested no matter how Chu Xun tempted her with Fire Spinel.

The tall stone trees stretched into the sky. People could feel how small they were only after they got into the depths of this forest.

Chu Xun flew in the air and shuttled back and forth among the tall stone trees. Anyway, he was the only person here.

He wandered around in the forest for a long time but didn’t find any Iron-clawed Blue-scaled Eagle.

Boom!

The ground shook violently. He could vaguely hear the sound of crashing and collapsing.

Curious, he flew in the direction from which the sound came.

Meanwhile, the woman in a black robe staying outside the forest looked scared, and her body under the black robe was shivering. She was hiding behind a huge stone, not daring to reveal even a trace of her aura.

At the edge of the Stone Tree Forest, there was a giant monster over thirty meters high. It was covered in lava and holding a huge mace that was more than ten meters long. It was a level 5 demonic ape. Its terrifying power made the people and demonic beasts within a radius of five kilometers hide and tremble with fear.

The woman in a black robe watched in horror as the demonic ape smashed a stone tree with its mace. The scene was extremely terrifying.

“Such a powerful demonic beast usually hides in the depths of some remote mountain or in a more prosperous place. Why would it turn up here?”

She couldn’t help worrying about Chu Xun’s safety. She felt that Chu Xun was really unlucky. He killed the Thunder Leopard, which caused the volcano to erupt. Now he was going to hunt down and kill the Iron-clawed Blue-scaled Eagle, but such a terrifying demonic ape suddenly appeared.

Suddenly, her eyes widened in shock as she saw a dark mass flying toward her from the distance. It was an Iron-clawed Blue-scaled Eagle with a wingspan of over fifty meters. Before it arrived, its terrifying demonic aura already swept through the air over a distance of several hundred miles.

The Iron-clawed Blue-scaled Eagle landed on two stone trees with its two claws that could easily crush the huge stones on the mountain. The stone trees under its claws broke and collapsed, barely able to support its gigantic body.

Chu Xun felt that the sky suddenly darkened. He looked up and saw the Iron-clawed Blue-scaled Eagle. He couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise. “What a feathery monster!

“Is this the Iron-clawed Blue-scaled Eagle? If so, old Harry would have to pay me at least a tenfold reward.”

Roar!

The demonic ape roared furiously at the Iron-clawed Blue-scaled Eagle and thumped its chest with its hand, making a rumbling sound like that of a huge drum. The entire Stone Tree Forest was shaking.

Chirp!

The Iron-clawed Blue-scaled Eagle let out a deafening shrill cry. The cry was like a sharp sword that could pierce through metal and stone.

The woman in a black robe hiding behind the huge stone was injured by the cries of the two monsters. Her Qi and blood were surging inside her, and a stream of blood oozed out from the corner of her mouth. She was extremely frightened.

She wanted to get out of this place, but she didn’t dare to act rashly. If she alarmed these two demonic beasts, a sneeze of them would easily blow her up into pieces.

Roar!

An earth-shaking roar rang out from the distance. Lava poured out from the crater, stone trees fell down, and a terrifying demonic aura swept across like raging waves. The weaker demonic beasts within dozens of miles blew up.

A monster that was as tall as a mountain and covered in red flames appeared in the distance, moving fast toward the Stone Tree Forest. It had the head of a lion and the body of a tiger, yet its enormous head was blue in color. It had a pair of enormous eyes shining with golden light, a wide mouth, and sharp fangs, looking very brutal and ferocious. It was a Blue-headed Golden-eyed Beast.

The appearance of three level 5 demonic beasts was comparable to a disaster. Not to mention Chu Xun, even Harry’s mercenary guild thousands of miles away had heard the news.

“Something must have appeared in the Stone Tree Forest. Otherwise, it is impossible for three terrifying demonic beasts to turn up there at the same time.” Old Harry looked serious. If these three formidable demonic beasts went crazy, it would be difficult for him and the others to remain unaffected, even though they were thousands of miles away from the scene.

“Principal Harry, I heard that Chu the Devil had entered the Stone Tree Forest,” one of Harry’s men reported.

Upon hearing that, Harry froze for a moment, but his face was expressionless. He shook his head and said, “I wanted to recruit him as one of my mercenaries at first, but now it seems that he doesn’t have luck.”

Boom!

The ground started shaking as the demonic ape moved. It continuously swung its huge mace to make its way through the forest, smashing countless stone trees.

By this time, the Blue-headed Golden-eyed Beast had already arrived at the periphery of the Stone Tree Forest. It directly rushed into the forest, knocking numerous tall stone trees down.

The Iron-clawed Blue-scaled Eagle also started moving. It flapped its huge wings, generating strong tornado-like gusts of wind, and pounced toward the demonic ape.

Roar!

Enraged, the demonic ape swung its huge mace that was dozens of meters long.

Clang!

The spiked mace collided with the eagle’s claw. Sparks flew about, and energy waves spread out rapidly like ripples. The surrounding stone trees fell down one after another.

The Iron-clawed Blue-scaled Eagle soared into the sky flapping its wings and opened its beak that looked like a curved blade. A sharp blade like a bloody crescent moon ripped through the air toward the demonic ape.

The demonic ape roared furiously and swung its huge mace at the sharp blade that looked like a bloody crescent moon. The sharp blade was directly smashed, and the demonic ape staggered a few steps, knocking several stone trees down.

It turned out that the Iron-clawed Blue-scaled Eagle, an overlord in the sky, gained an upper hand over the demonic ape.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

Suddenly, two beams of golden light shot out and darted toward the Iron-clawed Blue-scaled Eagle. Although it caught sight of the light beams in time, its ponderous body moved too slowly. As the beams of golden light hit it, the scales on its wings fell off and flew about in the air. A terrifying bleeding cut appeared in its body.

The Iron-clawed Blue-scaled Eagle crowed furiously. It turned around and unleashed a several-meter-long sharp blade like a bloody crescent moon, which darted toward the Blue-headed Golden-eyed Beast.

Pfft!

Blood spurted out. The Blue-headed Golden-eyed Beast failed to dodge the attack because it was surrounded by stone trees and its body was too ponderous. The sharp blade sliced a large piece of flesh off its body.

The Blue-headed Golden-eyed Beast flew into a rage. Its eyes were shining with bright golden light. Two beams of golden light shot toward the Iron-clawed Blue-scaled Eagle like laser beams.

The Iron-clawed Blue-scaled Eagle was infuriated. It slashed its claws at the two beams of golden light and smashed them.

When the three monstrous demonic beasts were fighting fiercely for some unknown reason, the weak demonic beasts in the Stone Tree Forest were suffering. They were either trampled to death or smashed to death by the falling stone trees.

Suddenly, the Stone Tree Forest turned red. A red light was bursting out from the center of the forest.

Roar!

The demonic ape and the Blue-headed Golden-eyed Beast roared at the same time and rushed toward the place where the red light was bursting out.

The Iron-clawed Blue-scaled Eagle crowed as it fought against them, trying to stop them from getting close to the red light.

Chu Xun’s eyes lit up. He realized that there must be something good in the Stone Tree Forest. He flew to the place where the red light was bursting out.

He moved fast and arrived at the spot in a few seconds.

When he clearly saw the object emitting red light, he was in a trance for a moment.

It was a flower that emitted bright red light. It was about the size of a bowl, and its stem was as thick as an arm. It was as tall as a person and had no leaves.

“A Phoenix Flower!”

Chu Xun was excited. Phoenix Flowers were one of the main ingredients of the Life Extension Elixir.

Phoenix Flowers were reborn in fire and grew in extremely harsh environments. The stone trees here were highly toxic. Phoenix Flowers only grew in such extreme environments.

Chu Xun was overjoyed. It was easy for him to get what he wanted.

Swoosh!

He dashed toward the Phoenix Flower and created secret signets with both hands to pluck it.

Swoosh!

A bloody crescent moon came at the back of Chu Xun’s head.

Chu Xun stopped and turned around. He saw a seven- to eight-meter-long Iron-clawed Blue-scaled Eagle swooping down from a stone tree.

He raised his hand and smashed the bloody crescent moon. The Reincarnation Whip appeared in his hand. He swung the Reincarnation Whip and slashed at the Iron-clawed Blue-scaled Eagle, cutting it into two halves. Bloody pieces of its body flew about and blood fell from the air like raindrops.

Whoever dared to stop him from taking the Phoenix Flower was going to die.

The Iron-clawed Blue-scaled Eagle was no match for the demonic ape, but the two of them fought fiercely as they got close to where Chu Xun was located.

Chu Xun turned around, made a magic signet, and began to pluck the Phoenix Flower.

Just then, a loud crow came from the sky above Chu Xun’s head.

It was another seven- to eight-meter-long Iron-clawed Blue-scaled Eagle. Having seen Chu Xun killing its companion easily, it dared not get close. It hovered in the sky and crowed to send a warning signal to the Eagle King in the distance.

Upon hearing the crow, the Iron-clawed Blue-scaled Eagle fighting with the demonic ape and the Blue-headed Golden-eyed Beast immediately flapped its wings and flew toward Chu Xun.

Swoosh!

A several-meter-long sharp blade like a bloody crescent moon ripped through the air toward Chu Xun. It was several times more powerful than the strike launched by the previous level 4 Iron-clawed Blue-scaled Eagle.

Chu Xun was interrupted when he tried to pluck the Phoenix Flower. He immediately set up a magic formation to cover the Phoenix Flower. With a cold look in his eyes, he soared into the air and smashed the sharp blade with a punch.

“It seems that I have to kill you before I pluck the Phoenix Flower,” Chu Xun murmured to himself.

His skills moved with his mind.

Demon-slain Finger–scaring all the gods and ghosts by the third finger!

Boom!

The void shook, and a giant finger fell down from the sky.

With a gigantic body, the Iron-clawed Blue-scaled Eagle failed to dodge the attack. The giant finger hit its left wing, which blew up and turned into blood mist.

The Iron-clawed Blue-scaled Eagle let out a shrill cry. It lost its balance and fell from the sky. For a moment, the mountains shook and the earth quaked. Rocks and trees fell down one after another, and the ground cracked. It was as if the doomsday had arrived.

Just then, the demonic ape rushed over. It raised its huge mace and smacked at Chu Xun.

Chu Xun’s size was very disproportionate to that of the demonic ape. His body was even smaller than a barb on the mace.

The demonic ape roared as it slammed its mace down. It wanted to smash this terrifying little creature into meat sauce.

Chu Xun raised his hand. Purple light swirled, and his palm turned into an amethyst one. He raised his hand and launched a palm strike. A giant palm hit the mace.

Bang!

An ear-piercing sound of explosion rang out. The sound waves broke the surrounding stone trees. Cracks appeared in the mace, and the mace broke into pieces.

The demonic ape’s red eyes became dull for a moment. It could not believe that its weapon would break into pieces.

Chu Xun made a magic signet and tossed it into the air.

The Eternal Phoenix Scripture.

As Chu Xun’s cultivation level rose, the fire phoenix grew bigger. It had a wingspan of fifty meters, which was larger than that of the Iron-clawed Blue-scaled Eagle.

The fire phoenix raised its head and crowed, making a sound that could penetrate metal and stone and blow up stone trees. Burning with purple flames, it flapped its wings and swooped down at the demonic ape.

Boom!

Terrifying flames exploded, and a storm swept through the air. Huge mushroom clouds rose into the air. The demonic ape was torn into pieces, the flying pieces of its body were burnt to ashes, and its gigantic body disappeared without a trace.

With its eyes shining with bright golden light, the Blue-headed Golden-eyed Beast was about to attack Chu Xun. However, when it saw the demonic ape disappear without a trace, the golden light in its eyes immediately faded away, and its eyes began to flash with fear.

It shuddered and turned around to escape.

Chu Xun leaped up and flew through the air like a beam of light streaking across the sky. Then he thrust his palm. A huge palm print appeared in the sky and smacked at the Blue-headed Golden-eyed Beast.

Boom!

The Demon-slaughtering Palm hit its huge head. Its head blew up, and its giant body was sent flying, smashing countless stone trees.

It roared angrily and blinked its eyes. Two beams of golden light shot out and ripped through the air toward Chu Xun.

Chu Xun curled his lip slightly. He reached out his hands and clenched the beams of golden light, which suddenly exploded.

The huge eyes of the Blue-headed Golden-eyed Beast flashed with fear. It turned around to escape.

“If you dare to take a step forward, I will kill you right away,” Chu Xun said lightly.

The Blue-headed Golden-eyed Beast could understand human language. It shuddered, not daring to move again.

“You can be my mount for the time being. I will set you free when I leave,” Chu Xun said.

The Blue-headed Golden-eyed Beast rolled its huge eyes as if it was thinking. Then it nodded its head, which was as huge as a small hill, bent its forelegs, and knelt down to show its submission. It was almost as clever as a human being. The demonic ape with a similar cultivation level disappeared without a trace in the end. The power of the person in front of it was overwhelming, so being his mount was not something to be ashamed of. Most importantly, it was afraid of death.

There was one thing that Chu Xun couldn’t figure out. “These level 5 demonic beasts are comparable to the Immortal-level masters of alien races, and they have spiritual intelligence. Why can’t they speak the human language? Of course, it’s nothing serious. The most important thing is the Phoenix Flower.” He turned around and rushed to the Phoenix Flower.
