Dragon and Phoenix Ladies

--- Chapter 324 ---

Profound Sky Continent, Divine Phoenix Empire, Unknown Mountain Range.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

Two figures fought fiercely on a mountaintop. One is fearless with the image of a dark-fire dragon, and the other is graceful, like an ascending green phoenix.

Yes, these two are none other than Hong Guan and Yuyan. 

They have surpassed the Mortal Realm and sparred to see what changes happened to them after reaching the "Divine" realm.

Hong Guan's body has become stronger than ever, filled with the strength of a true dragon, and even able to wield Abyssal Sky Burning Flame that is no weaker than Phoenix's Flame.

In fact, Yuyan told Hong Guan that some dragons in the Primordial Era of Gods didn't have such an abnormal physique like her. Yes, including the Primordial Azure Dragon. 

Primordial Azure Dragon is strong, the strongest of all divine beasts born in the Primal Chaos, but he never really broke his limiter. 

On the other hand, Hong Guan has broken the literal chain of fates that shackled her body and soul, no longer bound by the limitation of the Primal Chaos Dimension.

That's why those who became Desperado are fearsome.

The world didn't limit them anymore.

Of course, that doesn't mean Yuyan is weaker than Hong Guan.

Yuyan fought Hong Guan without problem, landing her attack one after another in succession. The only reason she couldn't defeat Hong Guan quickly was because the latter had too much endurance.

The phoenix's cry echoed in the mountain range, and a bright green star floated in the clear sky. A dark red dragon also appeared from the valley, facing the burning star fearlessly.

The bright green star is Yuyan's profound incarnation, Emerald Phoenix's Sacred Body. 

The dark red dragon is Hong Guan's half-formed profound incarnation, Abyssal Dragon Empress. 

As two forces met, the surrounding mountains melted like snow under the intense sunlight and evaporated. They would have ruined more land if not for the barriers around the area.

BOOOM!

The phoenix's cry lasted longer, defeating the dragon.

Hong Guan crashed to the ground with a somber look. Her dark red hair scattered on the ground, making her curvy figure more charming. A trace of blood on her red lips, and her smooth finger wiped it away, "It's too difficult." 

"Maintaining the profound incarnation is too difficult." 

"I don't know what happened to me after becoming Desperado. I clearly felt stronger than ever, but everything felt too new to adapt." 

Yuyan landed near Hong Guan, flapping her sparkling emerald phoenix's wings and chuckling helplessly, "Didn't Master say anything to you about Desperado?" 

Hong Guan shook her head gently, "Master only said that Desperado's path is not for those weak convictions, and I should look for the answer myself." 

"He also said this path was suitable for me, who had taken the path of avenger as my profound way." 

"However, given that forming a new profound incarnation is already this hard, I don't know how to advance in the Divine Realm..." 

"You're comparing yourself to Qingyue and Cang Yue too much." Yuyan knew where Hong Guan's problem stemmed from. "They are different than you. No, everyone is different from others." 

"Master only wanted you to find your own path." 

"You're now a True Dragon in a sense, but you lacked the deep arrogance, divine might, and noble aura a real dragon has." 

"You're right." Hong Guan nodded weakly. She stared at the clear, warm sky and imagined Yu Long's strong back staring into the starry sky further above.

The more Hong Guan cultivated, the more she felt Yu Long was leaving them behind. Of course, it's only her fleeting thought.

Hong Guan had known Yu Long for years and knew what kind of "man" he was. He would never abandon his women.

"Are you fine now?" asked Yuyan, extending her hand to Hong Guan.

Hong Guan took Yuyan's hand and replied, "Better than ever." 

"Let's grab a meal nearby. There must be a city with decent food." 

"Sure." 

The two beauties left the razzed mountain range, sealing and planning to use it again next time. They didn't know that the legend of dragons and phoenixes was born because of them in mortal villages.

...

...

As Hong Guan and Yuyan arrived at a nice-looking town, they couldn't help but notice golden sunflowers growing on several patches of land.

"Oh, they have grown so big since the last time I've seen them," said Yuyan with a smile. "The Lost Heaven Sect and Shadow Realm are doing their best." 

Hong Guan nodded, "The field of golden sunflowers grew in no time, providing enough energy for the Heavenly Wind Polens to grow and generate a barrier that could protect people inside." 

"The effect of this barrier is much better than some defensive formations I could make." 

"If I don't witness it beforehand, It's hard to believe such a plant exists in this world." 

"At the same time, both plants also purified the surrounding heaven and earth energy, making it easier for common people to cultivate and reach a higher cultivation realm." 

"There was no such plant in my era." Yuyan glanced at the Heavenly Wind Flower in a group of golden sunflowers, hidden from ordinary eyes and profound sense. "It's one of the wonders from another world." 

"Talking about another world, we expected a few visitors soon." 

"Shizu said these new visitors would be more dangerous and annoying than Pandora..." 

"Pandora, huh?" Hong Guan recalled the destruction caused by one Kaiju alone. She had fought Dullahan and couldn't imagine how dangerous the Olympus Gods were.

According to the information, Master and Chu Yuechan successfully killed one each at the Illusory Demon Realm. However, Since Chu Yuechan, who joined the party late, can do it, they can achieve it, too.

They visited the city in disguise because they didn't want people flocking over their beauty, ordering a few dishes in the restaurant, and eating their food with gusto.

Eating after that intense fighting makes the food taste more delicious.

Then, they suddenly heard people gossiping in the restaurant.

"Hey, do you know that Princess Snow of the Divine Phoenix Empire has engaged with the young master of the Lost Heaven Sect? I heard the date of their marriage is getting closer now." 

"What, no way? I also heard that the young master of the Lost Heaven Sect has countless women in his bed, including the princess of Blue Wind Empire." 

"Aren't the Divine Phoenix Empire afraid of their image crumbling apart for having such a son-in-law?" 

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. That's the fun part. No one cares about image. The young master of the Lost Heaven Sect is the most mysterious genius in the Profound Sky Continent. He has the potential to reach the Profound God Realm!" 

"Profound God Realm... That realm is too far away from me." 

"Indeed, I'm just in the 2nd stage of the Spirit Profound Realm after training for decades." 

Countless sighs echoed in the restaurant.

"But I heard someone is challenging the young master of the Lost Heaven Sect for the title of number one genius." 

"Oh, who is this brave guy?" 

Hong Guan and Yuyan raised their eyebrows when the new topic was 'naturally' brought out as no one should be able to question their Lost Heaven Sect majesty after they destroyed Four Sacred Grounds.

One customer cleared his throat and answered, "I know the guy. He was from outside the Profound Sky Continent, having 5th stage of Sovereign Profound Realm Cultivation at a young age." 

"His name is Jiang Chen!"

...

...

"Should we look for this guy?" Yuyan asked Hong Guan.

Hong Guan replied coldly, "Yes. How dare an ant challenge Master? I will make sure he regrets doing so..."
