The feathers in front of Yi Ran seemed to be affected and began to sway.

The remaining half of the line was delayed.

This made Yi Ran anxious, but at this critical moment, he didn’t dare to move. He could only stare at the feather in front of him and pray. Nothing must happen! Everything must go smoothly! No matter what happens over there, I have to open my fourth meridian!

His body trembled slightly from nervousness.

Unfortunately, things didn’t go as planned.

Before he could think further, he suddenly felt a terrifying violent energy surge from behind him! At the same time, an indescribably powerful pressure descended!

The feathers in front of Yi Ran swayed even more!

Hong hong hong! 

In an instant, the remaining lightning bolts in the sky finally struck down! All of them landed in the depths of Phoenix Valley!

At this moment, the world changed color as if the end of the world had arrived!

Yi Ran’s eyes widened. The feather in front of him suddenly changed direction and flew over!

“No—” Before Yi Ran could finish his sentence, his body suddenly trembled as he spat out a mouthful of blood!

“Yi Ran!” The expression of Elder Yi Gong—who had been watching the situation—changed, and he immediately rushed over!

He was very fast. In the blink of an eye, he was in front of Phoenix Valley.

But when he arrived here, he realized that the entire Phoenix Valley was already covered by that terrifying power. It was very difficult for outsiders to enter.

His speed decreased drastically, almost as if he was in a swamp, moving forward with difficulty.

Fortunately, Yi Ran’s location wasn’t far from the exit of Phoenix Valley. Elder Yi Gong didn’t spend much time before arriving in front of him.

Seeing Yi Ran’s current situation, Elder Yi Gong’s heart suddenly sank!

Yi Ran’s face and body were covered in blood. His face was exceptionally pale, and his eyes were dull.

The aura on his body seemed to have withered a lot. It was obvious how much that blow had affected him.

Actually, this was normal. Yi Ran was already at the breakthrough stage and could not be disturbed. However, such an accident had forcefully interrupted his breakthrough.

He was unprepared and was naturally shocked.

What worried Elder Yi Gong even more was that there were only three lines left between Yi Ran’s brows!

The fourth stroke that he had painstakingly drawn just now was only halfway completed when it suddenly stopped.

Yi Ran suffered a backlash from the power. At this moment, the half-drawn line had already quickly dissipated.

The sudden loss of the support of that feather was too much of a blow for him.

At this moment, he was filled with anger and resentment. The situation was naturally worse.

“…Master…” Yi Ran’s mouth was filled with blood. When he saw Elder Yi Gong, he spoke with difficulty, but his voice was very weak.

Under the continuous loud sounds in the Phoenix Valley, he looked especially pale.

Elder Yi Gong couldn’t care less and quickly brought Yi Ran out!

Yi Ran turned around indignantly.

In Phoenix Valley, mountains rose and fell.

The ball of fire was burning fiercely in midair. Countless lightning bolts descended and struck it fiercely.

Vaguely, there seemed to be a figure among them.

At this moment, the red-gold feather had already flown over. It hung in midair, swaying gently in front of the burning ball of red-gold flame.

Yi Ran’s eyes suddenly widened, and they were bloodshot! It was it! It was the red-gold heavenly phoenix that had returned from outside—it had snatched my opportunity to open my meridians!

That red-gold feather was left behind by the ancestor of the red-gold heavenly phoenix clan back then and was the only one in the world.

All red-gold heavenly phoenixes needed this feather to open their meridians.

Everything was fine on his side, and his fourth meridian was about to open! Unexpectedly, someone suddenly appeared halfway, interrupted his breakthrough without a word, and even forcefully took away that feather!

Yi Ran was filled with anger!

Looking at the fluttering feathers in the distance and the flames that kept flickering with blinding light, his eyes almost popped out.

He struggled to get back.

Elder Yi Gong sensed his actions and frowned even more. “Yi Ran! What are you doing?!”

Yi Ran was still staring fixedly in that direction. His voice was hoarse and filled with deep resentment. “Master! It… it’s going too far!”

Seeing that his expression wasn’t right, Elder Yi Gong turned around. However, what he saw made his expression change.

Apart from shock and anger, there was also disbelief.

He had been the First Elder for many years and had seen all kinds of storms, but the situation in front of him was really too strange!

The figure in the flames was clearly the red-gold heavenly phoenix that had just returned. It had actually snatched Yi Ran’s opportunity to open his meridian!

In fact, because there was only one ancestral feather that could open meridians, it was inevitable that there would be competition among the red-gold heavenly phoenix clan.

Under normal circumstances, the stronger ones had a higher chance of success. This was normal.

However, the situation in front of him…

That red-gold heavenly phoenix has yet to transform into human form! How could it directly defeat Yi Ran?!

While Elder Yi Gong was in a daze, a strong wind suddenly swept over from the Phoenix Valley!

He was caught off-guard and was ruthlessly shaken off by this terrifying force!

Yi Ran’s body was also sent flying uncontrollably!

At this moment, the feather finally made a light cut. It was smooth and natural!

Everyone’s eyes widened in shock. That red-gold heavenly phoenix has opened its meridians!
