Chapter 797: Chapter 607: Power to Rival the Demon God_1

The Phoenix Dragon Beast had been in a daze since its youth, until its strength gradually grew and its intelligence slowly awakened. It realized that all things born, especially superior beings like itself, must have parents. Yet, from the moment of its birth, it had never seen its own parents, until now when it finally understood that its mother was bound here, enduring exposure to the elements and suffering year-round.

"Mommy—" The Phoenix Dragon Beast suddenly roared again, and from the sky above, the Phoenix Flame finally tumbled down. With a flap of its wings, the beast rushed at the red-haired man.

It was clear from the current situation that her mother’s imprisonment was related to this red-haired man, who had just blocked her from rescuing the long-haired woman. The indignation in the Phoenix Dragon Beast’s heart reached its peak.

"Don’t—" The long-haired woman, her face streaked with tears, looked at the Phoenix Dragon Beast. Her agitation exceeded that of the beast itself, but when she saw it charge at the red-haired man, she couldn’t help but scream out loud.

The red-haired man watched coldly as the Phoenix Dragon Beast and the descending Phoenix Fire approached, motionless, letting the flames engulf and scorch him. However, it wasn’t long before the beast sensed something amiss, as the Phoenix Fire swirled around the man, caressing his body like a lover, without causing him any sign of pain—his hair remained unscorched.

Dazed, the Phoenix Dragon Beast watched the red-haired man raise his fist and land a blow on its face.

With a miserable cry, the Phoenix Dragon Beast tumbled and crashed heavily back to the ground.

It landed with a thud, its face almost twisted sideways. The long-haired woman bound to the cliff screamed, "No, don’t, Wu Yu, I beg you, spare him—" Her cries rang out as the muscles on the red-haired man’s face twitched slightly. The other fist he was about to hurl slowed down and he sneered, "Summoning the Phoenix Fire? Hmph, to control the Phoenix Flame, you’re far from capable—"

The red-haired man sneered and with a swift motion of his hand, the fire summoned by the Phoenix Dragon Beast that swirled around him was drawn back into his palm, rising upwards before he twisted his waist and flung it out vigorously.

With a ’whoosh,’ the rising flame transformed into a long rainbow of fire, piercing the dark red sky. The trailing fiery tail, like a fire dragon, lingered for a long time. This astounding display of power shook Su Yu and the others watching from below.

Who exactly was this "Wu Yu," the red-haired man?

The Phoenix Dragon Beast struggled to rise again, its face bloodied and bruised, but its eyes shone with fierce resolve and unyielding spirit. It let out another hoarse cry and lurched upward once more.

"Don’t, child, don’t—" The long-haired woman cried out.

Staggering, the Phoenix Dragon Beast said hoarsely, "Mommy, wait for me, I... I’ll rescue you soon."

Tears streamed down the long-haired woman’s face as she frantically shook her head, "Don’t, my child, I was willing. I chose to be imprisoned here. Just seeing you one more time is satisfaction enough for me. Please leave, please go—"

As the long-haired woman wailed and screamed, the Phoenix Dragon Beast suddenly froze, stopping in its tracks, "Willingly? That’s impossible. What is going on?" The beast shrieked, unable to understand, and then, pointing at the red-haired man, it screamed, "I get it now, it’s all your doing, you forced her..."

The Phoenix Dragon Beast was about to continue its cries when the bound long-haired woman yelled out, "I told you, it was my choice. Please go; I don’t want to see you anymore—"

Her words struck the Phoenix Dragon Beast like an arrow, causing its color to drain away as it staggered back three steps in shock. It stared blankly at the long-haired woman tied to the cliff, stammering, "Mom... Mommy... you... you don’t want to see me?"

The long-haired woman on the cliff bit her lip, blood seeping down as her lip began to bleed, but she resolutely nodded, turned her face away, refusing to look at the Phoenix Dragon Beast again, only nodding firmly, "Yes, I don’t want to see you. I have never acknowledged having a child like you. Leave this place; you belong in the Bronze Tower World. You don’t deserve to live in this world."

The Phoenix Dragon Beast’s face went pale as it staggered backward. If it weren’t for Su Yu reaching out to support it, the beast would have collapsed.

The red-haired man floated in mid-air, silently watching the scene unfold, his face expressionless.

"I... I understand..." the Phoenix Dragon Beast muttered in response, slowly turning its body around with a look of utter dejection. It had arrived with great expectations, seeking out its mother, only to be met with a blow it had never anticipated. Its own birth mother had willingly become a prisoner on the precipice? Furthermore, she didn’t even recognize her own child and even admitted she had no desire to see her at all. Could it be that her banishment to the Bronze Tower had also been her mother’s doing?

As the Phoenix Dragon Beast turned around, it failed to notice the Long-haired Woman tied to the cliff, her lips completely bitten through by her own teeth, holding back tears with all her might.

Su Yu observed all this in silence, knowing there must be some hidden truth behind it. However, both parties seemed to be hiding something, unwilling to reveal it. Looking at the dispirited Phoenix Dragon Beast, Su Yu sighed inwardly. This could be considered the Phoenix Dragon Beast’s family affair. That he had accompanied the Phoenix Dragon Beast to sneak in here tonight was already the fulfillment of his moral obligation, and given the red-haired man’s unfathomable strength, Su Yu felt helpless to do more.

The red-haired man watched silently as Su Yu and the Phoenix Dragon Beast’s group left, not making a move to trouble them. The expression on his face was indiscernible, a mix of anger and helplessness.

Just as Su Yu and the others were about to leave the desolate gorge, suddenly, three figures flashed in the void ahead, and a deep voice rang out, "Stop—"

Su Yu and his companions were slightly taken aback and looked up to see that at the mouth of the gorge, three figures had appeared, blocking the way: two men—one in a yellow robe, the other in a purple shirt—and a woman in a white dress. Each suspended in mid-air, it was the Yellow-robed Elder among the three who had voiced the stern command.

The Yellow-robed Elder barked an order to stop, and then in a blur, he was already in front of the red-haired man, saying somberly, "Wu Yu, they cannot be allowed to leave."

The red-haired man, Wu Yu, furrowed his brow slightly and looked towards him.

Down below, Su Yu sensed that the situation seemed ominous and whispered, "Let’s go." He grabbed the dispirited Phoenix Dragon Beast and began to run towards the exit of the desolate gorge.

The floating Purple-shirted Man, standing about several meters off the ground, laughed heartily, "If I say to stay, then you’d better stay—." With a sweep of his large sleeves, a blast of wind vacuumed the air, unleashing a terrifying wave of energy that swept over them like a tidal wave. Su Yu, Ma Ziye, Qin Jiagui, and Duo Duo all struggled to stay upright as they stumbled backwards. The Phoenix Dragon Beast, caught off guard, was directly overturned by the fearsome energy and flung back.

The Yellow-robed Elder looked at Wu Yu, his voice grave, "The day of our agreement with the Dragon Clan isn’t far off. Yet, as of now, our clan still lacks a legitimate successor. Did you not notice just now—that she could summon the Phoenix Flame? That is the authentic Phoenix Inheritance."

The red-haired man’s face changed slightly, his eyes narrowed as he said, "Could it be...?"

"Though she carries the lowly Dragon Clan inheritance within her, with our combined efforts, we can surely extract that dragon inheritance and infuse it into your bloodline. Coupled with her authentic Phoenix Inheritance, Wu Yu, we can definitely create a perfect descendent," the Yellow-robed Elder said, becoming somewhat excited. He turned towards the Phoenix Dragon Beast, who had just been flung out by the Purple-shirted Man, and shouted, "She must not be allowed to leave; she is our future hope—"

At the Yellow-robed Elder’s words, Wu Yu shuddered, looking once again towards the Phoenix Dragon Beast. In fact, the moment he had noticed the Phoenix Dragon Beast summoning the Phoenix Flame, he was already stunned.

The Long-haired Woman, bound to the cliffside, was simultaneously shocked and screamed, "Extract the Dragon Clan inheritance from her body? No... No—." The Long-haired Woman’s frantic screams began, "Wu Yu, you can’t do this—it will rob her of her spirit. She’ll become nothing more than a killing tool, devoid of sense."

Conflict appeared on Wu Yu’s face, but the Yellow-robed Elder bellowed, "Wu Yu, have you forgotten the shame our clan has endured for a million years? Have you forgotten about the rapidly approaching appointed day?"

Wu Yu trembled violently, and finally, taking a deep breath as if making a difficult decision, he nodded solemnly.

Seeing Wu Yu’s nod, the Yellow-robed Elder immediately turned and shouted, "Seize them all—". His body leaped forward like a yellow comet, rushing toward the Phoenix Dragon Beast below.

Just now, the conversation had been overheard by Su Yu and the others, and it also left them stunned. These people were eying the Phoenix Inheritance within the Phoenix Dragon Beast. It seemed they wanted to extract the dragon inheritance from her body, leaving only the pure Phoenix Inheritance. But such an outcome would cause the Phoenix Dragon Beast to lose her consciousness, turning her into a purely killing tool and machine.

"Wu Yu, you must not do this—" the Long-haired Woman, tied to the precipice, let out a shrill cry, her body bound by iron chains, which clanked loudly as she struggled.
