Strike while the ironâs hotâLin Changâshengâs exact battle strategy.
Seeing the Double-headed Fire Phoenixâs eyes shattered and her wailing in pain, Lin Changâsheng wasnât going to let this chance slip by.
In a flash, he pulled out the Blood Jade Braceletâno small thing in terms of power, able to expand or contract at will.
The blood-red bracelet soared from Lin Changâshengâs hand and instantly expanded, growing as massive as a mountain and crashing down toward the Double-headed Fire Phoenixâs heads, caging her in completely.
"Seal!"
Lin Changâsheng controlled the Blood Jade Bracelet to shrink, steadily tightening its range until the Double-headed Fire Phoenix was locked tight inside.
If the Double-headed Fire Phoenix hadnât been blinded, trapping her with the Blood Jade Bracelet wouldâve been out of the question.
But now that she couldnât see, this task was laughably easy.
As the Blood Jade Bracelet compressed further, the Fiery Flames raging from the Double-headed Fire Phoenix dropped sharply, right up until she shrank from her true form into her human figure.
Now, barely clinging to life, she was imprisoned within the Blood Jade Bracelet.
"Care to tell me nowâwhereâs the exit?"
Lin Changâsheng spoke to the red-clad woman locked in the Blood Jade Bracelet before him.
"IâI told you already, thereâs no way to leave this place. Even if you kill me, that wonât change!"
The woman in red spoke with resolve. If thereâd been a way to leave, sheâd have taken it long ago.
Not only is there no portal out of this Secret Realmâeven entering the Great Hall, youâd just be thrown into a Grand Array. Getting out of the Great Hall is hard enough.
Let alone leaving the Secret Realm itself.
If she could escape, would she ever choose to spend her life trapped here?
Hearing how certain she was, it seemed clearâeven this Fire Phoenix didnât know any way out.
Now, the last hope was that Golden Coffin suspended above the molten pit.
"If thatâs the case, then thereâs no point in keeping you. Will you swear loyalty to me, or will you die?"
Lin Changâsheng gave the Fire Phoenix two choices.
But when he finished, the woman in red didnât show the slightest fear. Instead, a faint smirk curled at her lips.
"Is there any real difference between those two options? You think youâll leave this place alive? Sooner or later, youâll just be another pile of bones here!"
The Double-headed Fire Phoenix didnât believe for a second that Lin Changâsheng could escape. Surrendering would just win her a bit more time before death.
"If thatâs what you want, letâs end this now!"
Since she refused to submit, Lin Changâsheng wasnât interested in wasting any more words.
He gathered Primordial Power in his palmâready to strike.
"Wait!"
Just as Lin Changâsheng was about to attack, the Double-headed Fire Phoenix slowly spoke up.
"Fine. Iâll submit. But I have to see how you manage to escape this place. Until I see you die with my own eyes, I wonât rest easy!"
The Double-headed Fire Phoenix spoke, voice steady.
She wanted to see with her own eyes how Lin Changâsheng would meet his end.
Seeing her finally surrender, Lin Changâsheng didnât bother with any more talk. He stepped forward and cast the Divine Soul Contract Technique to begin forging the contract.
Naturally, it was a Master-Servant Contract.
Because the Double-headed Fire Phoenix willingly submitted, the process was smooth and easy.
In just three breaths, it was done.
[Nirvana Divine Fire detected. Fuse with Undying Dragon Flame?]
Just as Lin Changâsheng completed the contract, the system panel suddenly popped up with a prompt.
"The flames can merge again?"
This genuinely surprised Lin Changâsheng, though thinking about it, it made senseâfire and fire should be able to blend.
The Nirvana Divine Fire was under the Double-headed Fire Phoenixâs command. Now that she was subdued, Lin Changâsheng gained part of her abilities as well.
"Fuse!"
Without hesitation, Lin Changâsheng chose to merge them.
[Nirvana Divine Fire and Undying Dragon Flame beginning fusion... merging... merger complete. You have gained Three Flames True Fire!]
"Three Flames True Fire?"
Lin Changâsheng muttered to himself, then realizedâthe three fires now were the Undying Flame, Qilin Divine Flame, and Nirvana Divine Fire.
These three mighty flames merging into the Three Flames True Fire made perfect sense.
"I wonder how powerful this Three Flames True Fire really is?"
Lin Changâsheng mused, and with a wave, pulled out a Lower Grade Celestial Spirit Treasure. He summoned the Three Flames True Fire into his hand and started burning it.
He wanted to see if Three Flames True Fire could damage a Lower Grade Celestial Spirit Treasure.
To Lin Changâshengâs pleasant surprise, as the Three Flames True Fire engulfed it, the Lower Grade Celestial Spirit Treasure cracked and shattered, then finally melted into a pool of fiery-red molten liquid.
This astonished Lin Changâsheng; he hadnât expected the Three Flames True Fire to be so overbearing.
Even a Lower Grade Celestial Spirit Treasure could be burned and melted by it?
The Lower Grade Celestial Spirit Treasure kept crackling as internal Restriction after Restriction was shattered.
"Wonder if a Middle Grade Celestial Spirit Treasure could be destroyed?"
Lin Changâsheng wondered aloud, then brought out a Middle Grade one to test it.
But the Middle Grade Celestial Spirit Treasure only turned red-hot, without any real damage.
Looks like Middle Grade Spirit Treasures are truly far superior to Lower Grade.
Still, just being able to destroy a Lower Grade Celestial Spirit Treasure showed the raw power of the Three Flames True Fire.
"You actually wield my Fire Phoenix Divine Might now?"
The Double-headed Fire Phoenixâs voice echoed in Lin Changâshengâs mind, shock plain in her heart.
Now that sheâd been subdued, her eyesight returned as well.
"Enough with the backtalk. Next time I ask you a question, youâll speak. Otherwise, donât blame me for being ruthless!"
Lin Changâsheng waved a hand, snuffing out the Three Flames True Fire in his palm, and coolly snapped at the Double-headed Fire Phoenix.
She was in his control now, and sheâd better not cross himâor heâd show her just how merciless he could get.
If nothing else, she had a damn seductive figure. You never knew when he might lose his patience and put her in her place.
"Youâ!"
The Double-headed Fire Phoenix fumed, but didnât dare argue back.
