Chapter 717: Shattering the Divine Consciousness
Nirvana Rebirth was the most fundamental ability of the Immortal Flame Phoenix clan and the source of their power. Had it actually failed at this moment?
Seeing this, the Undying Demon Emperor could no longer remain calm. His figure flickered, and with a streak of fire trailing behind, he instantly appeared beside Cao Yuwei, pressing his right hand down in the air.
A layer of strange, dark red flames enveloped the phoenix phantom that had begun to re-condense for the second time.
The White Tiger Demon Emperor did not stop him. The Undying Demon Emperor's intervention at this moment signified that he had accepted defeat on Cao Yuwei's behalf.
On the other side, Mei Gongzi had already reopened her eyes, and within them, a trace of astonishment was evident. It was clear that even she hadn't expected this outcome.
She had crushed her opponent's divine consciousness!
The sacrificial strike of the Immortal Blood Phoenix brought her unparalleled pressure, but this was exactly the opportunity Tang San had mentioned.
When Tang San had instructed Mei Gongzi, he told her that once an opponent at the Great Demon King level lost their composure and went all out, it would be a full-spectrum attack, including locking onto, pressuring, and even directly assaulting the divine consciousness.
In such a situation, there was no need to clash head-on; she simply had to strike back at the opponent's divine consciousness.
Within Mei Gongzi's divine consciousness, the true core item, the lifebound item she had chosen during her heavenly tribulation, was not the Celestial Plume but the Asura Sword!
As a transcendent divine item representing judgment, it had once intimidated the entire divine realm.
For Cao Yuwei to dare force his divine consciousness into Mei Gongzi's was an act of sheer recklessness.
Since the Asura Sword's physical form had not yet arrived in this plane, she could not use it properly, but the seed of divine intent at the core of her divine consciousness was on a completely different level from every single being or item in this plane.
To pit one’s divine consciousness against the Asura Sword was to fight a tiger while being an ant.
In truth, Mei Gongzi hadn't done much; she had simply let his divine consciousness collide with hers, and then... there was no "then." It had simply shattered.
The lingering trace of the judgment sword intent even prevented Cao Yuwei from activating his divine consciousness' Nirvana Rebirth.
The assessment was indeed a difficult hurdle, but the process of this assessment would be recorded in the Ancestral Court's annals, ensuring her name would be remembered throughout the ages!
The Celestial Fox Demon Emperor looked calmly at Mei Gongzi and said, "Since your performance in the combat evaluation has been satisfactory, the second evaluation of your assessment will now commence.
"The Empyrean Dominion is governed collectively by the council of Emperors of the Ancestral Court, so your success in this assessment depends on whether the Emperors acknowledge you. Your performance has given us a clearer understanding of you, and now, it is time for the Emperors to vote.
"According to the rules of the Ancestral Court, if more than half of the Emperors approve, you will pass the second evaluation. Otherwise, you will lose the qualification to inherit the position of city lord. Do you understand?"
"I understand," Mei Gongzi nodded.
The White Tiger Demon Emperor and Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor both instinctively grew a bit tense. To them, this round seemed even more challenging than the first test of strength.
The strength evaluation could be approached with various strategies, but this round was almost insurmountable.
In fact, neither of the two Demon Emperors had initially believed that Mei Gongzi would succeed in her assessment. After all, the first test was already difficult enough.
But when Mei Gongzi actually defeated a formidable enemy and successfully passed the first test, it rekindled their hopes.
For the White Tiger Demon Emperor, if his granddaughter could gain control of another major city, in addition to the one he already controlled, it would greatly strengthen their line's power across the Daemon Continent.
He had no business with the Peacock Great Demon King, but Mei Gongzi possessed the White Tiger bloodline and was his actual granddaughter.
The same was true for the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor. Ever since he discovered that he had a daughter, and that the one he loved most had never betrayed him, his entire outlook had undergone a dramatic change.
What difference did it make whether his daughter or he himself controlled the city? As long as his daughter was willing, he could act as the grand emperor behind the scenes!
But now that they had reached this second evaluation, both the White Tiger Demon Emperor and the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor couldn't help but furrow their brows.
Among the nine Demon Emperors present, it seemed unlikely that five would support Mei Gongzi. At least, they didn't think it was possible. Moreover, with the Crystal Demon Emperor absent, there were actually only eight. With eight, getting five votes would be even harder.
Moreover, the White Tiger Demon Emperor had absolutely no idea that the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor would support Mei Gongzi. From his perspective, it was likely that he might be the only one standing by her.
At that moment, the Celestial Fox Demon Emperor spoke up again.
