Dark Phoenix Prince

Boom...

Right after Alu opened his eyes, his body suddenly exploded with boundless flames.

But unlike before where Alu's flames were completely black, this time there were slight red streaks within Alu's flames.

However, the red streaks didn't last long. As more flames gushed out from within Alu's body, those red streaks began to fade little by little.

Boom...

After the red streaks had completely turned black, Alu's body suddenly emitted an aura that made the earth tremble.

After that, the Yin-Yang Symbol then came out of Alu's body before circling around Alu's head.

However, just a moment after the Yin-Yang Symbol came out, suddenly another Yin-Yang Symbol also came out of Alu's body.

The Yin-Yang Symbol that just emerged then followed the first Yin-Yang Symbol that circled around Alu's head.

Now, there are already two Yin-Yang Symbols circling around Alu's head.

The people under the crater who were looking at Alu were immediately stunned simultaneously.

Boom...

Right after that, spiritual source after spiritual source then flowed out from within each Yin-Yang Symbol.

And this time, the spiritual sources that came out had soared to more than fifteen thousand spiritual sources.

They were all green and each one of them emitted a boundless spiritual aura.

But it doesn't stop there. When the fire lotus symbol appeared on Alu's forehead, thousands of spiritual sources once again poured out from each Yin-Yang Symbol.

In an instant, the spiritual source that flowed out from Alu's two Yin-Yang Symbols had reached twenty thousand spiritual sources.

When twenty thousand spiritual sources gathered together and emitted their auras simultaneously, the people who were below the crater began to feel shortness of breath from the pressure.

Alu has broken through.

People couldn't help but be surprised when they saw that.

The expressions of the people trying to help Krinn and Arlo turned even worse.

When Alu was still in the first layer of the Life and Death stage, he was already so terrible that they felt hopeless.

And now, Alu's power is becoming more and more terrifying.

There was only one thought in their minds at the moment. "Our fate is over."

Of course, the one whose expression looked the worst was Krinn who was currently struggling under Rena's terrifying attacks.

Since Alu didn't hesitate when he killed Arlo, Krinn knows that his fate will not be much different either. Especially with his current condition which is basically at the weakest point.

With Alu's current strength, killing him was definitely a hundred times easier than killing Arlo.

Whooss...

While Krinn was still thinking about his bad luck, he saw Alu suddenly disappear from where he was.

Krinn can't see where Alu is going, but the bad feeling he feels makes him know that Alu must be heading his way.

Rumble...

Krinn didn't even have time to prepare, and the sky above suddenly rumbled.

When Krinn looked up, he found a ball of fire the size of a mountain falling towards him.

"Shit..."

"Alu, just wait. Even if I die, you and your clan will definitely be with me not long after." Krinn shouted.

"My grandfather will definitely not let you go."

Knowing that he won't be able to last much longer, he can now only scare off Alu with his background.

Apart from his father, Krinn still has other supporters who are much stronger. And it is his father's teacher who is actually his grandfather.

Shua... Shua... Shua...

Krinn then took out the various artifacts he had.

From armor, shields, weapons, and various other artifacts which are all Nirvana stage artifacts.

Even though they weren't spiritual artifacts, they were still something extremely powerful for a cultivator of the Life and Death stage.

Even the most powerful Cultivators of the Life and Death stage could not destroy it.

Even when Krinn couldn't control the artifacts, Rena still had a hard time killing him.

After taking out the artifacts, Krinn immediately used what he could use and put the rest by his side.

He got into the armor and put the shield in front of his body which was facing the fireball.

"Hmph." A cold snort suddenly rang out from behind the fireball right after Krinn took out his artifact.

Right after that, Alu's figure suddenly appeared right in front of the fireball.

He looked at Krinn from above with an indifferent expression.

"They won't be able to protect you from death." Alu then said.

If it was before, Alu might still be struggling enough to deal with so many artifacts.

But after his strength had increased, even though his strength was still not enough to destroy the artifacts Krinn was using, getting rid of them from beside Krinn shouldn't be a problem.

Shua...

After saying that, Alu then lunged at Krinn.

Alu's speed was much faster than the fireball's descending speed.

However, when Alu moved, the fireball behind him also moved with his speed.

In one breath's time later, Alu was only a few meters away from Krinn who was currently being protected by many artifacts.

"Mmm...." ALU smiled slightly as he looked at Krinn.

After that, Alu then snapped his fingers.

Right after Alu snapped his fingers, the fireball that was behind him suddenly shrank at an unimaginable speed.

In an instant, the fireball had reduced in size to the size of a grape.

However, right after the fireball stopped shrinking, it suddenly emitted a black light which made the holy path's sky darken.

After that...

Boom.

An enormous explosion suddenly erupted from the small fireball.

It was like a thousand volcanoes erupting simultaneously.

The black colored flames soared into the sky at an inconceivable speed. The altitude might exceed ten kilometers, causing the sky to shake.

Whooss... Whooss... Whooss...

As the explosion occurred, the artifacts that had previously protected Krinn were blown away in various directions from within the explosion.

Even the armor with the heaviest weight was also thrown from the explosion.

Some parts of the armor even separated so that the figures inside the armor were revealed. That's of course Krinn.

By now, Krinn's figure was soaked in blood that his face was almost unrecognizable.

The impact as the armor was blown away had obviously taken quite a toll on Krinn's body.

...

Other than the innate technique he had, the previous explosion was one of the strongest techniques Alu had.

The name of the technique is the Heaven Destroying Fireball.

The basis of the technique is to gather a large amount of fire and then condense them all to the smallest point before releasing them all in an instant.

When it came to technique level, it wasn't inferior to his Phoenix innate technique.

As for the origin of the technique, it was one of the legacy techniques that the Phoenix clan had for a long time.

However, it wasn't a special technique for the Phoenix clan. It was in fact something any fire power user could use.

Of course, whether they can master the technique and use it still depends on their respective abilities.

In reality, in the Phoenix clan itself only Alu had mastered it until now.

For most of the Phoenix clan members, they didn't even know that it was an extremely powerful technique.

...

Whooss...

When the armor was thrown up to a hundred meters from the explosion, Alu's figure suddenly appeared right above the armor. And this time Alu appeared with a sword in his hand. The sword was also enveloped in black flames that looked like they could turn everything to ashes.

After appearing, Alu was not silent for a second. He immediately stabbed his sword at Krinn's face which was half revealed.

Krinn, who was in the armor, immediately stared as he saw Alu appear right above him. And his face which was covered in blood immediately turned horrified when he saw the sword tip begin to approach his face.

"Alu, you have foiled my grandfather's plan. You will surely die sooner or later..." Krinn roared.

Unfortunately, his roar couldn't stop the sword from reaching his face.

As the sword tip got closer to Krinn's face, Alu, who hadn't spoken yet, finally spoke.

"Krinn, you seem to have a very strong background. However, why do I feel like you are too weak?" Alu asked.

"And you even went to a small place to cultivate."

Of course, Alu didn't need an answer as Alu had already thought of a possibility when he saw Krinn's expression.

Upon hearing his words, Krinn's expression looked really ugly, and he even gritted his teeth hatefully.

Hisss...

The sword then stuck in Krinn's face. Right after that, the flames enveloping the blade immediately flared up at Krinn's face.

With Alu's power drastically increased, the flames that burned Krinn's face didn't need much time before burning Krinn's face to ashes.

After a breath of time, there was only a pile of ashes inside the armor head.

With its head disappearing, Krinn's body quickly lost its aura.

Bam...

Alu then kicked Krinn's armor down.

In an instant, Krinn's armor landed among the debris from the explosion.

Whooss...

After that, Alu appeared right beside Krinn's armor.

The two wings on his back immediately disappeared the moment his feet stomped on the ground.

....

Note: Weapons are part of the artifact. But artifacts don't mean weapons.
