“Eh, what’s that?” When he saw the Heaven-Devouring Sparrow, the Ninth Prince was shocked. They could clearly see everything within the formation, and the Heaven-Devouring Sparrow’s appearance drew everyone’s attention.

“It seems to be a sparrow,” the complete stage True Essence realm cultivator said.

The Ninth Prince muttered, “From how illusory its body seems, could it be a demonic spirit?” His eyes glinted as he said, “Capture it as well.”

“Yes!” The True Essence realm cultivators obeyed, and performed hand seals, activating the formation. The men all spat out a mouthful of True Essence and performed hand seals, transforming it into profound runes, which entered into the formation’s flags. After entering, the flags flashed, and a gigantic divine beast seemed to fly out.

A cry sounded out as the light coming out of the 4 flags gathered together, forming a gigantic bird in the air. This was a divine beast that seemed to glow with vigour, and its fiery feathers dyed the sky red.

Xiao Yun looked up and felt as if he had been completely covered by this gigantic beast. The ancient aura that it gave off seemed to lock Xiao Yun in place – this was the might of the formation, and just its aura alone was able to completely seal this s.p.a.ce off.

However, even though the divine beast gave off mighty airs, its eyes were dull, lacking any intelligence. Evidently, it was because the formation was incomplete. Otherwise, it was difficult to imagine just how monstrous the formation would be if it was completely released.

“This formation’s quite powerful,” Yuan Xiao said in praise. Even though he was outside, he could feel just how extraordinary this formation was. “With the Imperial Clan’s people helping me, taking down this Xiao Yun will be incredibly easy. As long as I take everything from him, my uncles definitely won’t be able to do anything to me.”

Phoenix Rending Heavens and Earth!

Behind the Ninth Prince, the elders performed hand seals, controlling the divine beast created from the formation. Under their control, the gigantic red bird cried out and unleashed large, sharp claws.

This bird’s cry seemed to resonate into the horizon, and travel and pierce through anything, causing everyone within the Imperial City to hear it.

“This is our Imperial Clan’s formation.” Within the Imperial City, an elder’s eyes flashed as he heard this cry.

Whoos.h.!.+

The gigantic red bird spread its wings, spanning 100 metres in diameter. Its fiery feathers looked like flaming steel arrows, and it dove towards Xiao Yun. The terrifying ripples that it gave off could cause one’s heart to tremble, and Xiao Yun felt as if he was facing an Essence Core realm expert.

In fact, the aura that this divine beast gave off was even more monstrous than that of an Essence Core realm expert’s. This sort of aura was that of a divine beast’s, and seemed to be able to force all creatures to lower their heads in deference.

“It’s really the aura of a phoenix,” the Heaven-Devouring Sparrow said with an excited look. “Haha, let this Lord devour you.” A fiery light exploded out from the Heaven-Devouring Sparrow’s body as it also became a gigantic bird.

“Devour!” Runes of light gathered at the Heaven-Devouring Sparrow’s mouth, turning into a gigantic vortex.

Standing outside, one could see a phoenix image diving down, giving off a resplendent light. However, a fiery light suddenly erupted out as a ma.s.sive sparrow appeared, opening its mouth as if it wanted to devour the heavens and earth. The runes of light on the divine beast dissipated, as if they were slowly being sucked into the sparrow’s mouth. In just an instant, the divine beast’s aura was greatly reduced.

“This is the best!” The Heaven-Devouring Sparrow raised its head to the heavens and cried out. As it absorbed the phoenix image’s aura, its gigantic claw ripped through the air, completely tearing through the phoenix image, causing a dense stream of blood vital essence to flow out.

“Haha, even though it’s not much, this blood vital essence is great nourishment. This Lord will take all of it.” The Heaven-Devouring Sparrow looked incredibly excited. After tearing through the divine beast, it opened its mouth and sucked in all of the blood vital essence.

After entering the Heaven-Devouring Sparrow’s body, the blood vital essence turned into a stream of pure energy, causing the Heaven-Devouring Sparrow’s aura to rise. As the Heaven-Devouring Sparrow’s aura became stronger, the formation around them rippled.

Pft!

Outside, the 4 True Essence realm cultivators’ minds trembled and spat out a mouthful of blood. After the blood vital essence from the formation was absorbed, they were also affected, and their faces became incredibly pale.

One of the elders said as he stared at the formation in incredulity, “What’s going on?”

“What sort of bird is it? How can it absorb the formation’s blood vital essence?” The other elders were also completely shocked.

This formation was unique to the Imperial Clan, and contained a strand of blood vital essence left behind by their ancestor. Anyone from the Imperial Clan could use it to create a divine beast. Even though they could not create an incredibly realistic beast, it was still incredibly powerful and unstoppable.

However, that bird had just opened its mouth and devoured that strand of blood vital essence, causing everyone present to stare in disbelief, “Could that sparrow have Essence Core realm cultivation?”

“How can Xiao Yun have such a powerful bird by his side?” The Ninth Prince narrowed his eyes, also feeling incredibly shocked.

“Could this Xiao Yun have other trump cards?” Yuan Xiao suddenly felt that there were things lacking in the information he had gathered – this youth definitely was not as simple as he seemed. His heart thumped, feeling a chill.

“Again!” The Heaven-Devouring Sparrow opened its eyes, yelling in excitement.

The blood vital essence from this formation was simply too rare, and was left behind by an expert of the Phoenix Clan. Even though it was only a strand, it had allowed the Heaven-Devouring Sparrow to become much stronger. The Heaven-Devouring Sparrow could feel that it had almost returned to the Essence Core realm.

Xiao Yun watched on, also feeling incredibly surprised. Just as the Heaven-Devouring Sparrow had said, there were differences between people at the complete stage of the True Essence realm. Normal people at the complete stage of the True Essence realm would be trapped within the formation, and would be destroyed by that divine beast. However, the Heaven-Devouring Sparrow was different – its bloodline was extraordinary, and it could devour all Essence Qi and vital essence to use as its own. Naturally, the formation would not be able to do anything to it.

“Who would have thought you’d have a powerful demonic spirit. Very well, this prince will take this demonic spirit as well.” The Ninth Prince’s eyes gleamed as he stepped out. He finished the wine in his goblet, then coldly stared ahead of him as mysterious ripples emanated out form his body.

“This is the Imperial Clan’s bloodline’s aura?” Beside him, Yuan Xiao felt quite startled upon feeling that aura, and even his spirit trembled in fear. It was said that the Imperial Clan’s bloodline was extraordinary, and possessed a divine power. Once it awakened, it was incredibly monstrous.

Feng Zhu had a tall and slim figure, and had elegant looks. With his exquisite clothes, he gave off an extraordinary aura. His eyes were currently narrowed, his bloodline’s power erupting from his body.

“The Prince is going to act?” Feeling the bloodline’s power, the elders narrowed their eyes.

“The Ninth Prince’s bloodline is extremely pure, and will definitely be able to control the formation better than us,” the elders thought.

Even though Feng Zhu’s cultivation was not very high, he was the Emperor’s son, and had a much purer bloodline than those elders. He circulated his bloodline’s power, spitting out a strand of vital essence.

This strand of vital essence flashed, containing a mysterious aura. Just as it appeared, the formation trembled and gave a piercing cry.

Following this, Feng Zhu used his hands to create a magic seal.

“With my essence blood, give the divine Phoenix a soul!” The Ninth Prince’s eyes flashed as he then spat out a mouthful of essence blood.

Buzz!

The magic seal seemed to gain a life of its own, and as it gave off an ancient aura, it entered the formation. After the small magic seal entered, ma.s.sive ripples spread out within the formation.The formation trembled, causing the air to twist and turn. Looking closely, there seemed to be a divine beast awakening on top of the flags. Anyone who saw this would be completely shocked. Runes of light rushed into the air, gathering into a divine beast.

The divine beast’s feathers looked as if they were made of precious gemstones, giving off a terrifying aura. What was even more shocking was that this divine beast blinked, and seemed to have a life of its own, as if a true phoenix had descended. Even though it did not have much intelligence, it was far superior to the one that had been created earlier.

“Much better.” The Heaven-Devouring Sparrow’s eyes lit up, looking incredibly excited as it looked at the divine beast.

“Divine Phoenix Rending The Heavens and Earth!” The Ninth Prince’s eyes gleamed as he used the art to control the formation. A piercing cry sounded out, causing everyone’s minds to tremble.

The gigantic beast beat its wings, creating a wild gale, spearing towards the Heaven-Devouring Sparrow.

As the terrifying aura rushed towards them, Xiao Yun felt as if he was being suffocated. The Ninth Prince using his blood vital essence to control the formation was far superior to those elders from before.

“Yiya!”

The snow-white little beast narrowed her eyes, letting out a light that covered it and Xiao Yun. This light seemed to be a protective done, protecting them from the monstrous shockwaves, causing Xiao Yun to feel quite surprised.

“Looks like this little beast has quite a few abilities!” Xiao Yun thought to himself.

“A remnant blood essence spirit wants to fight with this Lord? Devour!” The Heaven-Devouring Sparrow coldly harrumphed as flames erupted on its body. It seemed to become a gigantic vortex that started to devour the divine beast.

Facing this divine beast, even the Heaven-Devouring Sparrow had to go all out. As the fiery light exploded out, a searing heatwave caused the air to quiver.

The Heaven-Devouring Sparrow continuously absorbed the formation’s divine beast’s vital essence, turning it into its own. At this moment, it was the Heaven-Devouring Vortex, and the Heaven-Devouring Vortex was it.

However, that divine beast was simply too powerful, and with Feng Zhu’s bloodline supporting it, it was able to dominate everything below the Essence Core realm.

Whoos.h.!.+

The 2 large birds clashed within the formation, causing fire to shoot everywhere. The monstrous shockwaves caused the air to shudder, and as a fiery light flashed, the Heaven-Devouring Sparrow was knocked back. Its aura became significantly weaker, and it was unable to take the divine beast down.

However, outside, the Ninth Prince’s body trembled, and he took a few steps backwards as a trace of blood leaked out from his mouth.

“Who would have thought that this demonic spirit would be so powerful; it can even devour all sorts of energy.” The Ninth Prince frowned, a serious look appearing on his face.
