231: Chapter 231 Seven-Colored Phoenix

The phantom of the Karma Fire Demonic Python behind Bai Song roared continuously, spewing pitch-black flames in an attempt to break through the encirclement.

However, The girls coordinated tacitly, their offense and defense orderly, stubbornly preventing him from advancing even an inch!

Chu Feiyu's transformation process was very peculiar; her body flickered in and out of sight within the seven-colored light, the Phoenix form spreading its wings in the light at times, and returning to human form at others.

With every transformation, the aura radiating from her body grew stronger.

Eventually, the seven-colored light converged into a massive cocoon of light, completely enveloping Chu Feiyu.

The surface of the cocoon shimmered with iridescent light, with phoenix patterns faintly visible swimming within.

"Crack—"

A few seconds later, a crisp cracking sound rang out, and the cocoon of light burst completely, turning into specks of light filling the sky.

When the light dissipated, Chu Feiyu had startlingly transformed into the appearance of the Valkyrie they had encountered inside the heart of the secret realm.

She was clad in seven-colored battle armor, holding a seven-colored spear, with a glint of sharp light circulating in her eyes.

Seven-Colored Phoenix, successfully awakened!

At that very moment, a tyrannical aura of life erupted from her body, forming a seven-colored shockwave that spread in all directions.

It actually completely shattered the phantom of the Karma Fire Demonic Python behind Bai Song, causing it to scatter into specks of starlight.

At this moment, Chu Feiyu was shocked; Bai Song was shocked; Red Snake, who was manipulating Bai Song from behind the scenes, was shocked; everyone was shocked, and even Chen Yi himself was stunned!

Chen Yi thought to himself, "What the hell is this? That thing can actually be shattered?"

He had originally only hoped to see if Chu Feiyu could resonate with the Seven-Colored Phoenix's Spirit Beast Essence, which was why he gave it to her.

Yet he never expected that the shockwave generated just from the awakening would directly shatter the phantom of the Karma Fire Demonic Python.

Feeling the surging life force within her body, it was like a tapestry woven of rebirth and destruction.

Chu Feiyu's heart was also wildly shaken.

On one hand, she was shocked because this power was too formidable; on the other hand, it was because Chen Yi had not bestowed this miraculous power upon the other sisters, but only to her. Didn't this prove that Chen Yi was sincere towards her?

Instantly, Chu Feiyu's heart fluttered like a startled deer, and a blush rose to her cheeks.

"Does this mean that I am actually special in Brother Chen Yi's heart?"

"Hehehe~~~ No wonder he has been especially aggressive towards me at night during this time~~"

"So that's what it was all about!"

Thinking of this, the look she gave Chen Yi held a few more shades of indescribable affection.

Indeed, Chen Yi was the Prince Charming destined for her!

[Ding! Chu Feiyu's Favorability +5 points!]

[Current Favorability: 90 points!]

[Ding! Congratulations, Chu Feiyu's Favorability has reached 90 points!]

[Reward: Enhancement Points +40!]

[Ding! Detected that the bloodline of the contracted target Chu Feiyu has changed!]

[About to issue SSS-rank Bloodline reward!]

[Congratulations, Host, you have received 180 Enhancement Points!]

[Congratulations, Host, you have mastered the Beast Tamer skill — Phoenix Rebirth!]

[After death, you can consume a large amount to revive and be reborn, and unleash Phoenix Flame on the surroundings!]

"What the? A resurrection-type skill? This reward is pretty flashy!"

"I'll try it out when I have time!"

Chen Yi walked up and patted Chu Feiyu on the shoulder, signaling her to save whatever she had to say for the evening and to prioritize handling the matter at hand.

Chu Feiyu nodded in understanding, temporarily suppressing the surging emotions in her heart, and turned to look at Bai Song.

The moment the phantom of the Karma Fire Demonic Python was dispersed, Bai Song also regained a sliver of his sanity.

He looked around blankly, as if he had just woken up from a nightmare.

However, possessing his normal sanity made him even more frantic than when he was in a crazed state.

"I... what have I done..."

Bai Song looked at the devastated battlefield, a trace of confusion flashing in his eyes.

But soon, this self-reproach transformed into monstrous rage: "It's all your fault! If not for you forcing me, how would I have fallen into the demonic path!"

Only a second later, the phantom of the Karma Fire Demonic Python wrapped around him again, and this time, it completely eroded his will.

The anger and pain on his face vanished instantly, replaced by a profound look in his eyes.

He paused, then spoke: "Chen Yi, we truly have your best interests at heart; you are qualified to understand everything about this world!"

Seeing Bai Song's sudden change, Chen Yi roughly understood that Red Snake must have taken complete control.

He ordered The girls to stop attacking, wanting to see if he could extract any information.

"What are you trying to express?"

Chen Yi asked calmly, secretly signaling Chu Feiyu to be ready to attack at any moment.

Red Snake issued a low laugh through Bai Song's body: "Looking at you, you should know my current situation; I am Red Snake, Bai Song's Contracted Spirit Beast! This time we lost; your strength indeed greatly exceeded our expectations."

"I am sorry to meet you in this capacity, but we genuinely hope that you can have a proper talk with us."

"In the near future, we will come to see you in person, and I hope you will patiently listen to our explanation then."

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire scene fell into a dead silence.

Before anyone could carefully savor the deeper meaning, another change occurred!

From all over his body, flames sprouted without warning.

Within a few short seconds, the black-red flames spread wildly across his entire body.

An indescribable smell permeated the air.

The flames burned in silence, which only gave people an even more terrifying feeling.

Everyone could only watch helplessly as Bai Song's figure gradually became blurred within the black-red flames.

"He... he self-immolated?"

Luo Yuqing covered her mouth and exclaimed in shock.

Her beautiful eyes were filled with disbelief.

"Silencing him! The mastermind behind the scenes must be silencing him!"

Gao Wenyu's face was livid; he clenched his fists and said through gritted teeth.

Chen Yi's Contracted Girls also let out cries of alarm one after another.

"Demon Abyss Cult, truly terrifying!"

"What ruthless methods, what eerie flames..."

"Brother Bai Song... sigh, why did you have to go astray? To end up with such an outcome..."

Chen Yi watched this scene with cold eyes, his brows immediately knitting together.

He was not shocked by the surface appearance like the others; what churned in his heart was a deeper level of doubt.

He completely did not understand what Bai Song—or rather, Red Snake—meant by the sentence, "You are qualified to understand everything about this world," just now.

"Understand everything about this world?"

"What is there in this world that I don't know? Could it be that it refers to more than just the power systems of Beast Tamer and Spirit Beast? Or is it that... this world itself hides some unknown secret?"

"The Demon Abyss Cult has repeatedly targeted me; could it be not just because of my talent, but because I might have touched upon some... truth? Is their so-called 'for my own good' based on this?"

"What exactly is the reason? Or could it be that they have already noticed my system?"

"But that's not right either? If they knew I had a system, how could they use the Demon Emperor to test me?"

"..."

All kinds of thoughts intertwined in Chen Yi's mind, twisting into a ball, completely impossible to untangle!

Red Snake's tone did not seem like it was lying, at least not entirely.

There seemed to be a kind of... urgency in it?

Or even a certain degree of recognition?

This was too abnormal!

Why would a member of an anti-human organization show this kind of attitude towards someone who thwarted their plans?
