Following her transformation, Feng Yuxiang unleashed a vast sea of flames that surged outward, engulfing those nearby. Though the fire scorched their skin and singed their hair, it carried no killing intent, as she had no desire to take their lives.
As for Yuan, he stowed his sword away and began beating the Heavenly White Tigers with his bare fists.
"A human dares challenge us in physique? Laughable!" a Golden Immortal scoffed as he stepped forward to confront Yuan.
But the moment their fists collided, his laughter died. His eyes widened in shock as his entire arm shattered like brittle glass under Yuanās strike.
"Canāt you sense his aura? Heās no human! Heās a dragon!" Someone exclaimed.
Despite being surrounded by Immortals, neither Yuan nor Feng Yuxiang could be stopped by the Heavenly White Tiger Clan.
The Eleventh Elder and the other elders quickly realized that they needed to personally act if they wanted to subdue them. However, they didnāt immediately act, so the others could wear them down first.
Eventually, after several hours of trying to subdue Yuan and Feng Yuxiang, the Eleventh Elder shouted, "All of you, get back! Weāll handle this ourselves!"
There were twenty elders in total, each one at the first or second level of the God Ascension Realm. Naturally, they didnāt all attack at once, as such a move wouldāve been excessive. Instead, two elders moved to confront Yuan, while only one turned their focus to Feng Yuxiang. Despite his lower cultivation, they saw Yuan as the greater threat.
Since they were still within the Nine Heavens, Yuan wasnāt too worried about facing a God Ascension cultivator. As for Feng Yuxiang, her True Primordial Fire still affected them.
"Since you decided to struggle, we wonāt delay your death sentence and will directly kill you right here and now," said one of Yuanās opponents.
Yuan smiled and calmly responded, "Do you even have that ability?"
The elders couldnāt understand where Yuanās confidence came from, but they dismissed it without concern and launched their attack.
As the battle erupted, the surrounding Immortals quickly retreated to clear the field, while the remaining elders lingered at the edges, ready to intervene if needed.
Despite only being a True Immortal, Feng Yuxiang held her ground against her opponent, a first-level God Ascension expert, and was even forcing him back. The elder had no way to counter her True Primordial Fire, which burned with relentless ferocity.
"Damn it! What kind of flames are these? Even Celestial Qi canāt snuff them out!" the elder cursed, struggling to contain the blaze. "Iāve never seen or even heard of anything like this!"
The other elders were equally stunned. None of them possessed the slightest knowledge of Primordial Phoenixes.
However, what shocked them the most was Yuan, who was overwhelming two God Ascension cultivators at once with nothing but his raw prowess.
"Such overwhelming innate strength... Does he belong to the Ten Royal Dragon Clans?" one of the elders suddenly thought of this possibility.
"What about the phoenix? I have seen several phoenixes from the Ten Royal Phoenix Clans, but none of them could even compare to her fire. Where the hell did these two monsters come from?"
The elders were worried that they might have to answer to both Royal Clans if they killed Yuan and Feng Yuxiang.
However, the Eleventh Elder remained calm and reassured them, "Theyāre not with the Royal Clans. Thereās no way the two clans would work together, much less attack our Heavenly White Tiger Clan in such a manner."
What the Eleventh Elder said made a lot of sense to the others, and they quickly stopped worrying about it.
"W-We cannot defeat him with just the two of us! We need more help!" One of the elders fighting Yuan suddenly said to the others.
"Iāll go help."
Soon, another God Ascension cultivator entered the fray, turning the fight into a three-on-one assault.
"I also need some help!" said the elder fighting Feng Yuxiang.
Thus, her battle became one-on-two the very next moment.
Yet, the new addition did not seem to help, and Yuan still dominated the battlefield. However, Feng Yuxiang was slowly being pushed back because she was still not used to using her True Primordial Fire.
Despite that, she still didnāt seem to be worried in the slightest.
"Young Master, Iāll start using āthatā power, okay?" Feng Yuxiang suddenly asked.
"Go ahead, but try not to kill them." Yuan nodded.
"Understood!"
In the very next moment, Feng Yuxiangās aura suddenly skyrocketed toward the heavens, shocking the elders.
"What?! Where is this power coming from?!"
Unbeknownst to the elders, Feng Yuxiang had just activated one of the Immortal Monarchās powers through her Supreme Seal.
<Immortal Monarchās True Blessing has activated>
[Immortal Monarchās True Blessing]
[Rank: Celestial]
[Mastery Level: 1]
[Description: Grants those bearing the Immortal Monarchās Supreme Seal overwhelming prowess, increasing their overall strength by 10,000%. This skill will remain active until deactivated by the Seal Bearer or the Creator and will constantly drain the Creatorās soul strength.]
The Immortal Monarchās True Blessing was a direct upgrade of Immortal Monarchās Blessing, which granted temporary strength to those who did not have the Immortal Monarchās Supreme Seal.
Meanwhile, Yuan could feel his soul strength being drained at a rapid rate. However, since only Feng Yuxiang was using it, he could easily replenish it with his soul cultivation technique, essentially allowing him to keep it active forever if he wanted.
With the aid of the Immortal Monarchās True Blessing, Feng Yuxiang instantly seized the upper hand once more, becoming the dominant force on the battlefield.
"Hahaha! I havenāt felt this alive in ages!" Feng Yuxiang laughed as she soared higher into the heavens. With a mighty beat of her majestic wings, she ignited a massive fireball in the skyāa blazing explosion that bloomed like fireworks.
"S-Stop her!"
Two more elders suddenly joined the battle, turning it into a four-against-one siege against Feng Yuxiang.
Meanwhile, another pair moved to support the three elders fighting Yuan, escalating the clash into a five-on-one confrontation.
