When Xie Feng and the girls heard the words 'Infinite Lightning Phoenix' they couldn't help but be stunned for a moment before they all unconsciously gasped in sync as if they had already planned it before.
"Infinity Lightning Phoenix...?" Xie Feng repeated as if he wanted to engrave those words in his head.
In Adastreia Continent, there were few Saint grade bosses, for example; Light Saint Dragon, Dark Demon Dragon, Sand Scorpion, Reinforced Armor Dinosaur, and a few others. However, there was one creature that was superior to all of the above mentioned.
That creature was precisely the Infinite Lightning Phoenix.
According to legend, several tens of thousands of years ago, the arrogant and stubborn Dark Demon Dragon flew over the territory where the Infinite Lightning Phoenix resided and from which it never left. As a consequence, the powerful dragon whose attribute was darkness was forced to flee miserably after being burned to the point where its scales had been incinerated almost entirely by the lightning of the phoenix.
The scariest thing of all was that according to the humans who saw part of the scene said that the only reason the Dark Demon Dragon managed to escape and survive was because the Infinite Lightning Phoenix had no intention of actually killing it or else the Adastreia Continent would have one less Saint grade boss at this point.
When the Bright Light Clan was at its peak before it fell and practically became history, its power was immense. However, the one creature they never dared to antagonize was the Infinite Lightning Phoenix whose power was said to be capable of destroying entire cities the size of a country with a mere flap of its wings.
It is said that in the past the Goddess Mei Hen entered into the Thousand Lightning Valley to challenge the Infinity Lightning Phoenix over a thousand years ago but no one knew what the outcome of the battle was. It was only known that Goddess Mei Hen had a slightly sad expression when she left, but since no signs of damage were seen on her and no explosions were felt from the battle, whatever happened back then was something that only she and the Infinite Lightning Phoenix knew and would probably remain a mystery for eternity.
Put simply, the Infinite Lightning Phoenix was in a sense the true supreme overlord of the entire Adastreia Continent.
The most powerful and potent of all existences!
However, it was also the most peaceful since even in ten thousand years it had never left its territory and spent its time in loneliness. Countless human generations could pass without even hearing a single cry from the phoenix.
Why would such a creature surrounded by mystery and practically omnipotent suddenly appear here? Could it be that it was also going to launch an attack?
Although everyone hoped that this was not the case, the possibilities were endless.
Screech~
SWOOSH!
SWOOSH!
SWOOSH!
...
Followed by a mighty bird screech, a horrifying suction force caused trees to be directly ripped out of the ground and destroying huge boulders in the process.
"It's destroying everything!" Shen Xinya exclaimed in surprise and frightened at the same time.
That sucking force was so terrifying that even when it wasn't an attack the scenery that had withstood the attacks made by the Abyssal Dragon was being destroyed bit by bit!
The land that had been unscathed even after the collision between the Human Emperor and the Abyssal Dragon was being split in half as if a thousand years of drought and heat had battered this place!
"The lightning is being weakened!" Xie Yao was the first to notice the change in the surroundings and the rest immediately realized that the pressure of the Heavenly Punishment was disappearing at surprisingly fast speeds.
The purple world made up of countless lightning bolts began to shrink and the purple color began to disappear in the process. It took only thirty seconds for all the lightning to vanish and the natural world came back into view.
A large expanse of grass had completely disappeared, a major part of the forest seemed to have been devoured by some creature overnight, and huge boulders that were previously part of the natural decoration of the place had been crushed to the point of becoming sand.
Even with the existence of the system in this virtual world, it would take at least several weeks and even up to a month for the scene to recover its former appearance.
However, the attention of the group inside the Bright Light Barrier was not on the destruction of the surroundings... Everyone had their eyes fixed on the existence that floated in the sky covering the sun with its body.
A huge five-hundred-meter violet-colored phoenix was gently flapping its wings. Purple lightning flashed constantly around its body as if it were a natural barrier and just by being there the pressure exuded by its body was several times higher than that of the Abyssal Dragon.
Surprisingly, the nerves and uneasiness Xie Feng felt earlier disappeared as if they had never existed when he saw the mythical creature.
"What a beautiful Phoenix!" he couldn't help but unconsciously whisper, his astonished voice ringing in the ears of everything amidst the silence.
Indeed! The bird in front of him was the most beautiful creature he had ever seen in his entire life!
Its feathers looked extremely soft as if they were made of velvet and the bright violet color of the feathers was full of mystery, nobility, and infinite charm. Just looking at the bird's body was enough to put one's soul at ease.
Moreover, although the power of the phoenix before him exuded enough power to destroy everything, the aura of calm and peace that existed in the midst of that destruction was intoxicating to the point that one wished to be able to embrace it to rest comfortably during the night.
This was the strongest creature on this entire continent, which it was said could even become one of the most powerful in the entire world!
"So this is the legendary Infinite Lightning Phoenix..."
