Scree—!
Nantian Fengyu's aura did not just spike; it transcended. It exploded past the limits of a Divine Phoenix, past the realm of True Gods, and skyrocketed into a domain that should have been impossible for her—a realm that surpassed that of a Primordial God.
It was a power born not of cultivation, but of absolute sacrifice, of a love that had cycled through lifetimes, ignited by the memory of a past death to fuel a final, glorious stand.
The change was so sudden, so profound, that it actually gave the two primordials pause.
Yin, who had been watching with amused detachment, now leaned forward, a strange, intrigued smile playing on his lips.
"Interesting," he murmured, his dark eyes reflecting the glorious Phoenix. "Very interesting. To think a mere Phoenix could tap into the source of life itself through sacrifice… How amusing."
