Chapter 329: 329 Turning the Tables
“How could this happen?”
The Saint Chao Yang, standing at the side, watched as Gu Yang was swallowed by the stone egg. Her heart jolted—she didn’t know whether she should interfere or not.
As she hesitated, Gu Yang was already engulfed by the stone egg, disappearing from sight.
Then, a red flame began to burn on the stone egg.
This change left her both shocked and elated.
In nearly ten thousand years, this stone egg had never displayed such a transformation.
Could it be that her master was finally going to revive?
She nervously stared at the stone egg, wringing her hands.
At this moment, dense clouds gathered in the sky, obscuring the sun. The thick layers made the entire sky darken.
Flashes of lightning began to form in the clouds, like serpents of electricity.
BOOM!
After a while, thick lightning bolts started to strike down. However, before they could even approach the tree Gu Yang was under, they vanished without a trace.
It was as if an invisible energy field surrounded the tree, preventing the lightning from causing any harm.
On the stone egg, the flame burned brighter and brighter.
A familiar surge of energy began to spread.
“Master…”
Saint Chao Yang’s eyes moistened. This aura- she recognized it all too well. It was unique to her master, the last imperial ruler of the Monster Race, the Monster Emperor Phoenix.
Ten thousand years. She had been guarding the stone egg, which the emperor had transformed into, in the realm of peach blossoms for ten thousand years.
Now, the emperor was finally reborn through nirvana, just like before.
Crack!
With a soft sound, the stone egg cracked and shattered. From the red flames, a tall figure emerged.
“Mas—” She began, about to kneel, but then, realizing something, she misstepped as if she’d been struck by lightning.
“Why is it you?”
Emerging from the flames was a human, with all his clothes burnt off, standing naked and bare. If it wasn’t Gu Yang, who else could it be?
Why was it a human who emerged?
Where is the Emperor?
A terrifying thought crossed her mind.
The thought was so horrifying that she couldn’t help but tremble.
Furious, she gripped Gu Yang’s throat, demanding, “Why is it you? Where is the Emperor?”
“Impudence!”
A jet of flame erupted from inside Gu Yang, instantly burning through her palm.
This was the Phoenix True Flame, even deeper in power. Even Saint Chao Yang’s celestial body could not withstand its force.
This flame gave him an aura of supreme authority, even when he wasn’t angry.
An aura fit for the Emperor.
“You…”
Even with her hand burnt through, Saint Chao Yang appeared to feel nothing. Terror etched across her face, she suddenly screamed, “No!”
The towering tree beneath her suddenly sprang to life, its branches and leaves closing in on Gu Yang.
Gu Yang calmly remarked, “If you kill me, you’ll never see your master again!”
The branches pressing towards him trembled and came to a stop.
After a moment, the branches and leaves slowly parted, returning to their original state.
