Chapter 62: Annihilating the Void Warrior!

"What was that sound just now?"

The Void Warrior, who was searching outside for Su Mu's traces, suddenly heard the cry of a phoenix and stopped dead in his tracks.

He had already discovered that the Dark Phoenix was not in her territory, so the creature that cried out just now must be her chick.

In other words, this fellow Su Mu had already found the nest of the Dark Phoenix and had gotten into a fight with her offspring.

"Little insect, let's see where you can run this time."

A cruel smile crept up the corner of the Void Warrior's mouth as he turned around and sprinted toward the phoenix nest.

As a 3-star Monarch, it was quite easy for him to sense the location of the Dark Phoenix's nest.

"What is this!"

When the Void Warrior arrived at the sea of magma, he was instantly stunned by the sight before him. A dead little phoenix was floating quietly on the fiery red magma, while his prey, Su Mu, was nowhere to be found.

"Damn it, I think I've fallen into a trap."

After freezing in place for a few seconds, the Void Warrior suddenly realized that this was a trap. This damned, despicable human actually wanted to frame him for killing the little phoenix.

"Damn it!"

The Void Warrior turned and fled. If he didn't leave now, once the Dark Phoenix returned, he would never be able to clear his name.

"Oh no, it seems I'm too late to leave."

Just as the Void Warrior intended to slip away, a terrifying aura suddenly surged into the entrance of the nest, and immediately afterward, the Dark Phoenix materialized right before him.

She took the form of a human female with golden hair and a graceful figure.

Judged by human standards, she should have been an extremely beautiful woman, but her eyes were pitch-black, resembling an abyss capable of swallowing the souls of living beings. Within those dark, profound eyes, wisps of blood-red light wandered about, indicating that she was a pure-blooded, perfect dark creature possessing God-Monarch lineage.

The Dark Phoenix was draped in a long black dress, exuding a powerful Monarch aura. Surrounded by raging golden flames, she made the Void Warrior feel deeply apprehensive.

Looking at the little phoenix floating on the magma, a flash of grief crossed the Dark Phoenix's eyes, followed instantly by a heaven-shaking roar of rage.

"Damned Void Warrior! How dare you kill my child? You won't leave this place alive today. I will kill you to avenge my child!"

A terrifying Monarch aura erupted violently. Wielding a golden longsword, the Dark Phoenix charged straight at the Void Warrior.

With no other choice, the Void Warrior drew his cross greatsword and engaged the Dark Phoenix in battle.

While fighting, he tried to explain: "Listen to me! I didn't kill the little phoenix. It was a human named Su Mu. I chased him all the way here, and then he vanished. He must have killed the little phoenix and tried to frame me!"

"You still deserve to die! Who told you to trespass in my territory? If you hadn't intruded, how could my child have died?"

"Besides, there is only your aura of a Void Warrior here, and no trace of any other stranger. Do you still expect me to believe your lies?"

By now, the Dark Phoenix had completely lost her sanity, her longsword slashing crazily toward the Void Warrior.

As for a single punctuation mark of what the Void Warrior said, she didn't believe a single bit of it.

Despicable creatures like the Void Warrior shouldn't even exist in the dark world; they should all be purged and executed, were it not for the protection of Empress Catherine.

You killed my child!

You killed my child!

The Dark Phoenix had completely descended into madness.

The terrifying might of a 6-star Monarch fully erupted, churning the magma behind her into waves over ten meters high, causing massive collapses in the huge stone cavern.

As for the Void Warrior, he barely managed to block three moves before the Dark Phoenix sent him flying over ten meters with a single sword strike, forcing him into a panicked escape.

"You must die today!"

Transforming into a black tornado, the Dark Phoenix pursued him directly.

The two clashed again high in the sky. Boom, boom, boom—the Monarch auras filled the heavens, colliding repeatedly and nearly destroying the entire Phoenix Ridge.

Yet the Void Warrior was still no match. After a few exchanges, he was heavily injured and forced once more into a pathetic flight for his life.

Just as he had hunted down Su Mu earlier, he had now become a mere insect in the eyes of the Dark Phoenix, one that could be crushed at will.

Fortunately, his Wind Wings granted him extreme speed, keeping him just a fraction faster than the Dark Phoenix, allowing him to preserve his life.

However, the crisis remained.

The black tornado formed by the Dark Phoenix clung tightly to his heels, her intent to kill him today unwavering.

Boom!

The Void Warrior was once again knocked down from the sky to the ground by the Dark Phoenix.

"Damned crazy phoenix!"

The Void Warrior scrambled up from the ground, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, abruptly changed direction, and continued fleeing.

The chase continued...

At this moment.

Su Mu was already hundreds of miles away from the nest of the Dark Phoenix, flying frantically toward the territory of the Star-Glory Rank 6 Flame Divine Dragon.

Hunting the Star-Glory Rank Flame Divine Dragon, extracting its heart to repair his own array, was the primary purpose of this trip.

As for staying put and waiting for the two Monarch-level powerhouses to beat each other half to death so he could swoop in and kill them both—he had no interest in that whatsoever.

In a Monarch-level battle, getting hit by even a single stray aura would likely leave him severely injured. With his current strength, he was not yet qualified to participate.

Whoosh! Su Mu folded his wings and landed on a pitch-black mountain peak, gazing into the distance.

That was the dwelling place of the Flame Divine Dragon. Just like the nest of the Flame Phoenix, red magma was everywhere.

Both the sky and the earth were dyed in a fiery crimson hue.

An adult black divine dragon, over a dozen meters long, floated above the magma, occasionally spitting a fiery dragon breath toward the sky.

Even from a hundred meters away, the scorching heat washed over him in waves.

[Species: Dark Divine Dragon]
[Rank: Star-Glory 6]
[Combat Power: 6,000,000]
[Defense: 13,000,000]
[Skills: Divine Dragon Roar, Divine Body, Invincible Dragon Breath, Blazing World.]

Before making a move, Su Mu checked the strength of this Star-Glory Rank divine dragon. Discovering that its defense was only 13,000,000 points, a cold sneer appeared at the corner of Su Mu's mouth.

His current strength was Diamond 3, with an attack power of only 300,000 points. However, boosted by Thor's Hammer, his combat power could multiply by 60 times, reaching 18,000,000 points. For this Dark Divine Dragon, it was essentially a one-hit kill.

"One-hit kill!"

Su Mu uttered these words coldly, setting his combat objective. Aided by the Armor of Death, he swiftly entered a state of stealth, then swooped like an arrow to the top of the Dark Divine Dragon's head.

"It seems an enemy is coming."

Sensing a slight anomaly in the airflow of the sky, the Dark Divine Dragon alertly raised its head to look around.

However, lacking an epic artifact like the Eye of Omniscience, it searched for a while without finding any suspicious creatures trespassing in its territory, so it curled its body back up and fell into a deep sleep.

Right at that moment, a massive black divine hammer plummeted from the sky, smashing fiercely into the head of the Dark Divine Dragon.

Accompanied by a human's chilling voice: "Die."
