My Fairy Growth System

Just as Yu Qingtan was about to continue upward, a far-reaching and majestic phoenix cry suddenly resonated through the heavens, as if it were coming from the depths of the void or resonating directly within her soul.

This cry of the phoenix contained supreme majesty and power, filling Yu Qingtan with awe.

At the same time, a dazzling light burst forth from the depths of the canopy, within which the phantom of a giant Netherworld Phoenix slowly emerged, its entire body covered in gray feathers and its eyes pitch black, resembling the grim reaper.

The Netherworld Phoenix clan, upon reaching adulthood, could attain the eighth stage, mastering the Space Law and Soul Dao Principle and awakening the Innate Divine Abilities 'Space Cutting' and 'Death Gaze'.

"Those who intrude upon the Netherworld Phoenix Ancient Land shall die!" the Netherworld Phoenix phantom declared in a cold and majestic voice, its gaze intensifying as it launched 'Death Gaze', seemingly intending to annihilate Yu Qingtan with this Soul Path Attack.

Soul Attacks had always been ineffective against Yu Qingtan and she felt that this attack was not strong. As long as one had comprehended the third level of the Origin of Soul Dao and reached the eighth stage, they could receive it unharmed.

"Well done, you have passed my initial test and are qualified to become the Protector for the resurgence of my Netherworld Phoenix clan!" Seeing Yu Qingtan standing unmoved under the 'Death Gaze', the Netherworld Phoenix phantom said, its tone considerably softer.

"Protector?" asked Yu Qingtan.

"Yes, my Netherworld Phoenix clan faced a great calamity in ancient times, but the True Spirit of our clan's ancestor left measures in place, banishing our clan's land into the endless void and leaving behind a seed of hope. One day, when our land reopens, it will be the moment for our clan to reemerge and recreate our former glory.

You entering this place now is fated, marking you as the designated Protector. As the Protector, you will also receive boundless benefits; attaining the eighth stage is merely trivial, and there is even a chance for Tribulation Crossing and ascension," explained the Netherworld Phoenix phantom.

"Netherworld Phoenix elder, this thief is a member of the Human Race in disguise; definitely not the Protector you seek!" At this moment, the Sea Clan finally reached this place as well, with only five remaining, led by Lan Mu Sea Saint. Upon hearing the Netherworld Phoenix phantom's words, he promptly gave a respectful bow and spoke.

"The race of the Protector does not matter. However, since you have also reached this place, you too deserve a chance, depending on whom our clan's seed chooses," the Netherworld Phoenix phantom said somewhat indifferently.

"Thank you, elder!" Lan Mu Sea Saint and the other Sea Clan members were overjoyed, hating Yu Qingtan to the core, and were determined not to let her become the Protector and gain the benefits of the Netherworld Phoenix Ancient Land.

"I don't think that's necessary. I obtained the map to this place and opened the entrance, which shows that I am the fated Protector!"

Yu Qingtan declared and then directly launched an attack. Her Lifebound Immortal Artifact, the Five Elements Canglan Sword Umbrella, appeared, forming a Chain Sword Array, and she attacked Lan Mu Sea Saint and other Sea Clan members.

Moreover, Yu Qingtan increased her strength using the "Power of Love" and wielded the Ancient Immortal Artifact, the Coiling Dragon Stick, to smash at Lan Mu Sea Saint.

The Netherworld Phoenix phantom saw this and furrowed its brows, but did not intervene.

The Five Elements Canglan Sword Umbrella transformed into five streams of light, intertwining to form an impenetrable sword net, imbued with the Power of the Five Elements Principles, enveloping Lan Mu Sea Saint and the remaining four Sea Clan powerhouses.

Seeing this, Lan Mu Sea Saint's expression dramatically changed. He had not expected Yu Qingtan to openly attack and her strength was so formidable that the terrifying sword array made him sense a crisis of death.

Lan Mu Sea Saint immediately let out a great roar, his Deep Sea Trident emanating dazzling light, transforming into three fierce water tornadoes to fend off this unexpected sword array assault.

However, the Five Elements Linked Sword Formation was no trivial matter; as soon as the water tornadoes made contact, they were torn apart by the sword light, and its momentum continued unabated forward.

The other four members of the Sea Clan also each used their abilities, some transforming into giant beasts, others releasing ice walls, all exerting their full strength to resist the Five Elements Linked Sword Formation.

These five Sea Clan members had swiftly reached this location amidst the numerous traps set by Yu Qingtan, their prowess all standing out within their respective levels, collectively managing to hold off the assault of the Five Elements Linked Sword Formation.

Regrettably, after utilizing the "Power of Love", Yu Qingtan's strength had nearly reached the Eighth Stage Tribulation Crossing; at this moment, he attacked Lan Mu Sea Saint who was barely holding off under the Five Elements Linked Sword Formation, hardly able to withstand it with his ancient Immortal Artifact, the Coiling Dragon Stick.

In Yu Qingtan's hands, the Coiling Dragon Stick moved like a dragon emerging from the sea, bearing tremendous power, fiercely striking towards Lan Mu Sea Saint who was entangled by the Five Elements Linked Sword Formation. Before the shadow of the stick even arrived, an invisible oppressive force caused the space to tremble, as if even the void itself shuddered at that moment.

Lan Mu Sea Saint was greatly alarmed, hurriedly mobilized all his strength, the Deep Sea Trident moved so tightly it was impenetrable to wind, trying to form an unbreakable defense at the last moment.

However, how could Yu Qingtan's attack be easily resisted? The Coiling Dragon Stick traced a magnificent trajectory in the air, piercing directly through the hastily set up water curtain barrier by Lan Mu Sea Saint, heavily smashing onto his trident.

"Boom!" a loud noise erupted, Lan Mu Sea Saint's Deep Sea Trident was almost sent flying by this tremendous force, and his figure staggered, his face as pale as paper. Seizing this opportunity, the Five Elements Linked Sword Formation moved in, sword light weaving tightly, completely engulfing Lan Mu Sea Saint's figure.

"No!" Lan Mu Sea Saint let out a cry of despair, he struggled frantically, but ultimately failed to escape the slaughter of the Five Elements Linked Sword Formation. The sword light flashed and vanished, and Lan Mu Sea Saint's body also collapsed, turning into countless pieces of flesh, leaving only a broken Deep Sea Trident quietly floating, witnessing the fall of this Sea Clan powerhouse.

Yu Qingtan's gaze was icy cold, without any hesitation, he turned and charged towards the other four Sea Clan powerhouses. Despite being shocked and angered, these four, as Seventh Stage beings, did not falter.

They understood that only by fighting to the death and killing Yu Qingtan was there a sliver of hope for survival. Thus, they burned their lifespans to boost their strength; one of them desperately resisted the slaughter of the Five Elements Linked Sword Formation, while the other three attacked Yu Qingtan together.

"Futile resistance!" Yu Qingtan sneered in his heart, his Coiling Dragon Stick moved so tightly it was waterproof, singlehandedly facing all three. Even with their desperate efforts, they could do nothing against Yu Qingtan.

Several times, the attacks of the three Sea Clan members wounded Yu Qingtan, but her recovery was so terrifyingly powerful that she healed instantly each time.

Another scream, the Sea Clan member responsible for blocking the Five Elements Linked Sword Formation perished.

"Netherworld Phoenix, are you just going to stand by and watch this human scoundrel commit atrocities right before your eyes?" one of the Sea Clan members could not help but cry out, but the Netherworld Phoenix apparition remained unmoved.

In the end, the remaining three Sea Clan members also met a grisly end at the hands of Yu Qingtan, their souls scattered without even a chance to self-destruct. Yu Qingtan reaped the flesh and possessions of five Seventh Stage Sea Clan members, feeling very pleased in her heart.

"Not bad, not bad, your strength is commendable, truly the Protector destined by fate, come with me!" At that moment, the Netherworld Phoenix apparition spoke, simultaneously flying towards the top of the Void Parasol Tree.
