The Phoenix Remains transformed into a whirlwind, diving toward the ground.

On its skeletal structure, a fiery red burst forth suddenly.

Following that, vast sheets of flames erupted from its bones, enveloping the entire Phoenix Remains in a blaze!

Under the scorching flames, the Phoenix Remains resembled a fire meteor, wrapped in searing waves and flaming tails, accelerating downward from the sky.

On the ground, Han Zhan, hearing the Phoenix's cry, did not hesitate for even a moment.

He immediately abandoned the thought of delivering the final blow to the Mutated Phoenix Perch Wood, and his figure explosively retreated.

One step back was not enough; Han Zhan retreated again and again, nearly reaching the original boundary.

The next second, with a boom, terrifying flames swept the entire world, burning everything!

Fortunately, Han Zhan retreated fast enough.

But even so, he was still burned by the pursuing flames, and amidst the embers, his body's surface developed a charred layer; the Celestial Serpent Body barely held up against the fire resistance at its limit.

On the lower branches of the Mutated Phoenix Perch Wood.

The Phoenix Remains, burning with flames all over, stood there, its gaze locked on Han Zhan in the distance.

In its hollow eye sockets burned endless flames, with such high temperatures that the surrounding air twisted and distorted.

Most critically, the molten lava that was originally used to restrain the Phoenix Perch Wood vines had become the most suitable battlefield for the Phoenix Remains at this moment!

Another Tier Seven Peak!

Faced with the sudden appearance of the Phoenix Remains, Han Zhan heightened his defenses, but was not surprised.

Since he had long known that the Phoenix Perch Wood would counter the Phoenix, how could he not have considered this in his initial plan?

After using Clear Heart Powder to remove the surface char and burning sensation, the sound of the Fu Xi Zither became high-pitched again.

With the resounding of the zither, from beneath Han Zhan's feet, an endless "domain" began to spread out, soon covering the lava area, including the range of the Mutated Phoenix Perch Wood!

Such a grand array could only belong to the Fu Xi Zither's Ancient Resentful Sunset Array!

The Ancient Resentful Sunset Array formed instantly.

Han Zhan quietly took out an Energy Brick and bit into it.

Feeling the soaring Spiritual Power within about to burst, he guided these fierce energies into the grand array underfoot.

"Roar, roar, roar!"

The echo of violent roaring filled the entire space.

Within the array, a massive head emerged from beneath the formation!

Celestial Snake Battle Spirit!

The Tier Nine Celestial Serpent killed on the Yixieqi Battlefield was pulled into the array by the Ancient Resentful Sunset Array and refined into a battle spirit.

Its power in life reached Tier Nine, but due to Han Zhan's current Spiritual Power reserve, it could only maintain a Tier Eight initial realm.

If it exceeded Tier Eight initial, the Celestial Snake Battle Spirit would disperse due to lack of energy to sustain it, returning to the Ancient Resentful Sunset Array.

But Tier Eight was more than enough!

At the instant the Celestial Snake Battle Spirit appeared, the winds across the battlefield halted.

The rustling Mutated Phoenix Perch Wood ceased its movement, while the burning eyes of the Phoenix Remains shifted to the Celestial Snake Battle Spirit.

No excess dialogue.

In the entire battlefield, Han Zhan was the only human; the others—a serpent, a phoenix, and a tree—could not speak trash talk.

They followed their instincts, initiating a massive melee.

The Celestial Snake Battle Spirit took the lead in attacking.

Its gigantic serpent body traversed the lava, reaching the Mutated Phoenix Perch Wood's trunk almost instantaneously, and swung its massive tail, fiercely striking the tree trunk.

With a solid blow, the towering giant tree shook, with wood chips flying from the fiber layer wrapped in scaly bark.

The Phoenix Remains screeched, flapping wings and leaving the branches.

The flaming Phoenix Remains relied on its flying advantage to launch a surprise attack from the sky onto the Celestial Snake Battle Spirit.

Extreme flames scorched everything, landing on the Celestial Snake Battle Spirit's body, soon burning large and small black holes.

Even in battle spirit form, the serpent felt pain, and it roared, lunging into the sky with mouth wide open, biting the Phoenix Remains still releasing World Destruction Embers.

Endless black poison mist spewed from the serpent's mouth, covering the Phoenix Remains' head.

The latter struggled frantically in the sky, flapping to escape the serpent's grip.

But having paid a great price to attract firepower, the Celestial Snake Battle Spirit would not easily loosen its grip.

The two colossal creatures wrestled, colliding with the Mutated Phoenix Perch Wood and breaking numerous branches and vines.

Flames and poison mist splattered everywhere.

As the screeching of the Phoenix Remains gradually diminished, the battle slowly revealed its victor and loser.

The endlessly troubling Mutated Phoenix Perch Wood, despite its tactics, could not prevail against Han Zhan's superior skills.

At this moment, Han Zhan seized the best opportunity to approach the trunk of the Mutated Phoenix Perch Wood.

The massive opening he had previously blasted was right in front of him.

Han Zhan's third punch arrived as expected!

Boom!

With another loud boom, Han Zhan punched the trunk of the Mutated Phoenix Perch Wood, and a golden light appeared out of thin air.

Han Zhan instinctively turned and threw another punch!

"Your skill has improved quite a bit again."

Yi Fan, hiding behind Han Zhan using deception, preparing a fatal blow, quickly distanced himself.

The strong fist gang, entwined with fierce winds, blew his hair upwards, his clothes fluttering wildly.

"Immortal!"

Han Zhan's supposedly decisive heavy punch was blocked by Yi Fan granting the trunk a temporary immortal ability.

The punch returning empty did not concern Han Zhan the most.

What mattered most to him was,

How did Yi Fan appear here?!

The Bodhi Treasure Tree World, self-contained, theoretically an area absolutely undisturbed by external forces, unless the opponent had the power to disrupt the realm's origin.

But if it was a power that could disrupt the realm's origin, no matter how Han Zhan guarded, he could only close his eyes and face inevitable death.

"Your power is just at Tier Six, how were you able to enter here?"

Han Zhan's face showed neither joy nor anger; he merely rolled up his sleeves and tightened his fist.

Seeing his actions, Yi Fan maintained a faint smile.

"A secret."

"Then take your secret to hell, and bow down and repent to the teacher!"

"Oh?" Yi Fan, watching Han Zhan's bold attack, slightly raised his tone, "Rather than fighting me, you should look behind you."

As Yi Fan finished speaking.

The Mutated Phoenix Perch Wood, originally on the verge of defeat, suddenly started to manifest bizarre crimson ripples across its surface, quickly covering it entirely.

On its trunk full of scaly bark, countless dense crimson eyes abruptly opened!

The Tier Seven Peak aura of the Mutated Phoenix Perch Wood suddenly surged to Tier Eight!

"I gave it an extra third stage, how's that, do you like it?"
