Chapter 545: Chapter 396: Double-headed Fire Phoenix, Nirvana Divine Fire, Combined Suppression

The ferocious demonic winds converged at a single point, forming a massive tornado that surged toward Lin Chang’sheng and his group.

"Break!"

Gu Shan threw out a punch, fist aura shining with blinding light, as if an ancient deity had descended—majestic and awe-inspiring.

This punch was none other than the Ancient Divine Fist.

BOOM—

In an instant, the golden fist aura slammed into the enormous demonic wind, erupting with an earth-shattering roar, making it seem like the entire mountain range trembled in response.

When the thunderous sound finally faded, the demonic wind had already been shattered by the fist aura, which, without losing momentum, crashed directly into the Golden Lion’s body.

With a single punch, it was sent flying.

"A Tier Seven Spirit Beast!"

Gu Shan murmured to himself, having already gauged these two ferocious beasts’ cultivation with one blow.

Fortunately, they were only Tier Seven—equivalent to a human at the Early Stage of Mahayana—not too difficult to handle.

Screech—

In the distance, the Fire Phoenix let out a cry and unleashed a torrent of fiery flames, scorching toward the three.

Xiaonan struck out with her palm, instantly sending a torrent of cold ice rushing forth.

In mid-air, the icy force clashed head-on with the Fire Phoenix’s flames, locked in a dead heat—clearly, this Fire Phoenix’s might was anything but ordinary.

Luckily, Xiaonan’s power was not limited to cold ice attacks—she also wielded Celestial Thunder.

ZAP—

With her other arm outstretched, Xiaonan sent a bolt of lightning crashing toward the Fire Phoenix.

Caught off guard, the Fire Phoenix was struck by the Power of Thunder, sent hurtling away, its fiery feathers scattering everywhere.

The two guardian Spirit Beasts seemed to realize that, on their own, they were no match for Lin Chang’sheng and his companions—so they charged at each other instead.

Then, to their astonishment, the two fierce beasts collided and began to slowly fuse together.

They watched as the Golden Lion’s body rapidly swelled, blazing with fiery flames, and crimson wings sprouted from its back.

It even grew another head—that of the Fire Phoenix.

The two merged Spirit Beasts saw their cultivation soar, instantly advancing to Tier Eight Spirit Beast Level.

Their power now rivaled the Middle Stage of Mahayana.

"The demon beasts conjured by this array actually possess such cultivation? Whoever set up this Grand Array must have had staggering mastery!"

Watching the two Spirit Beasts fuse, Lin Chang’sheng said quietly.

These two Spirit Beasts were obviously not real Spirit Beasts, but formed from Array Power—otherwise, when could Spirit Beasts ever fuse together?

"If it can fuse, then I can smash it!"

Gu Shan declared resolutely, his fists blazing as he charged straight toward the Two-headed Lion Phoenix Beast.

ROAR—

The fused Spirit Beast, now greatly empowered, let out an enraged roar. Waves of Primordial Power exploded outward, sending stone shards flying and slowing Gu Shan’s powerful advance.

The Two-headed Lion Phoenix Beast then pounced at Gu Shan as well, putting force into its limbs and leaping into midair.

The lion’s claws came crashing down toward Gu Shan.

BAM—

This time, Gu Shan’s fist aura could no longer drive the Two-headed Lion Phoenix Beast back.

On the contrary, he was swatted away—proof that the beast’s strength had grown by more than a margin.

"Let me try!"

Xiaonan spoke softly, then immediately revealed her true form.

The Three-headed Ice and Fire Python’s body was much larger than the Two-headed Lion Phoenix Beast. After all, it was a Tier Nine Peak Spirit Beast, just a step away from evolving into an Immortal Beast.

In the next moment, the two demon beasts collided head-on.

The Three-headed Ice and Fire Python’s power far exceeded that of the Two-headed Lion Phoenix Beast—after just a few rounds, her serpentine tail wrapped tightly around it.

As the coils squeezed tighter, the Two-headed Lion Phoenix Beast writhed in agony, its struggles turning into howls of pain.

Even though blazing flames erupted from its body, the python refused to release its grip.

BANG—

In just three breaths, the Two-headed Lion Phoenix Beast was crushed and burst apart, vanishing into countless fragments.

"No wonder no one has ever made it in here. Even the spirit beasts guarding the door are this fierce—normal people would be marching to their deaths!"

Lin Chang’sheng thought inwardly.

Fortunately, he’d convinced the Three-headed Ice and Fire Python to follow along—otherwise, even with Gu Shan at his side, the two of them might not have made it out alive.

As the Two-headed Lion Phoenix Beast perished, it transformed into two streams of flame and shot into the Great Hall.

Within that magnificent hall seemed to lurk an even greater and more mysterious power.

Having come this far, Lin Chang’sheng wasn’t about to turn back now.

He strode forward toward the Great Hall.

CREEEAAK—

As the Great Hall doors opened, inside was revealed a world of flames.

Inside the grand palace, everything shone scarlet red.

The coiled dragon stone pillars, the walls all around—they were all the color of blazing fire.

And this redness was not mere color; it radiated intense heat.

At the very center of the hall was a golden fiery pit, from which even more intense heat poured forth.

Coming closer, Lin Chang’sheng saw that endless magma churned at the bottom of the fiery pit.

Suspended in midair above the pit was a massive golden coffin, its lid impaled with countless Divine Weapons.

Each divine weapon was Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure Level. Clearly, those who came before had fallen here—and their Spirit Treasures became offerings.

Looking away, Lin Chang’sheng noticed that atop the highest seat in the hall sat a striking woman dressed all in red.

When she saw Lin Chang’sheng and the others arrive, the red-clad woman was surprised—they had actually managed to slay the Two-headed Lion Phoenix Beast guarding the entrance.

"Guests who come are guests nonetheless. You may each choose a treasure here and leave."

The red-clothed woman’s ruby lips parted; she spoke slowly and clearly.

"There should be a way to leave this Secret Realm as well, shouldn’t there?"
