Uchiha Madara stood to the side, leisurely watching the Fire Kirin battle the Ice Lion group, occasionally offering his two cents on this one-versus-hundred battle.
Just as Uchiha Madara had said, the Fire Kirin's combat power was incomparably stronger than that of the Ice Lions. Any single Ice Lion was no match for the Fire Kirin. The Fire Kirin was on a rampage, and the number of nearly a hundred Ice Lions dwindled rapidly.
The Fire Kirin moved as if no one was present, charging and roaring as the Ice Lions scattered and retreated.
From time to time, one or two stray Ice Lions would rush towards Uchiha Madara, opening their bloody mouths to bite him, only to be shattered by a single punch from Uchiha Madara.
In just under two minutes, the Ice Lions in this world of ice and snow were completely massacred.
The Fire Kirin, not a single hair harmed on its body, snorted discontentedly, stomped its four hooves, ruffled the fur on its neck, and then ran over to Uchiha Madara, rubbing its head against Uchiha Madara in a rather human-like display of affection.
The Fire Kirin, composed purely of flames, was so intelligent not merely due to the aggregation of flames; Uchiha Madara had also added a product of Yin-Yang Release into it.
Uchiha Madara patted the Fire Kirin's face, expressing his encouragement.
However, Esdeath, hidden within this vast storm of ice and snow, would not give up so easily.
The countless tiny ice crystals flying and scraping everywhere were subjected to a strange gravitational pull; instead of falling, they all rose and floated upwards.
The weather instantly improved considerably. Although the biting cold wind still whistled, there were no longer dense, knife-like ice crystals scraping everywhere.
Under the dark clouds, Uchiha Madara looked up, watching these ice crystals coalesce with intent.
Countless ice crystals suspended in the sky, rising and merging, formed four groups in the four directions above Uchiha Madara's head.
Gradually, these four massive clusters of ice increasingly gathered and fused, finally condensing into four gigantic Ice Dragons!
Uchiha Madara's eyes widened, and he looked left and right.
Indeed, they were four Ice Dragons, completely formed by compressed ice. Each Ice Dragon was quite exquisite. Most importantly, each of these four Ice Dragons was roughly a hundred meters long, truly colossal beings.
Uchiha Madara looked up, clearly seeing Esdeath standing atop one of the Ice Dragons.
Esdeath stood imperiously, her expression both frenzied and excited:
"Look! This is my current strongest move! If you can take it, then take it~!"
The four gigantic Ice Dragons above his head simultaneously moved, opening their enormous mouths and roaring at Uchiha Madara!
Their ear-splitting roars echoed throughout the entire mountain range, startling many hidden dangers.
At the same time, the Fire Kirin beside Uchiha Madara also let out a loud roar at the four Ice Dragons in the sky, unwilling to show weakness.
Its roar, though not as loud as the Ice Dragons', was much more lingering and drawn-out.
Uchiha Madara watched Esdeath above without blinking, a strange feeling in his heart. Was this Esdeath's strongest move? No, that's not right. Logically, her ultimate moves should be that Mahapadma and Ice Golem: Commander, so how did it become this?
Oh! Right, the current Esdeath is not the late-stage Esdeath from the original work. Those two hidden strongest moves should still be in the process of being developed but haven't been fully developed yet.
He comforted the Fire Kirin, which was stomping its hooves, and said:
"Alright, don't stomp around wildly. It's about time for you to go back. This time, I should call out something else!"
The Fire Kirin heard this and reluctantly stomped twice, but ultimately, it obediently transformed into a ball of golden flames and burrowed into Uchiha Madara's body.
Esdeath had been staring at Uchiha Madara without blinking. She wanted to see how Uchiha Madara planned to deal with this, and when she saw Uchiha Madara recall the Fire Kirin, she was briefly surprised.
In a sense, this time, Uchiha Madara was going to personally take action, directly challenging Esdeath.
Standing in place, dense golden flames ignited from his body, and the fire grew larger and stronger as it burned, gradually expanding its area, with flames already reaching dozens of meters high!
Uchiha Madara's profound voice emanated from within the blazing flames:
"Fire Release! Fire God Mode! Phoenix Nirvana!"
This was the ultimate arcana of Fire Release, comparable to Wood Release, Thousand-Hand Divine Abilities, and becoming a Buddha at the top!
With a bright phoenix cry, two dazzling fire wings suddenly unfolded from within the blazing flames!
A phoenix, the divine bird representing flames, rose from the raging fire!
Esdeath, standing atop the Ice Dragon's head, widened her eyes, watching the magnificent scene that the world had never witnessed before, utterly shaken!
The Fire Phoenix once again let out a bright phoenix cry, then spread its wings, and, amidst the scorching flames, soared into the sky!
Watching the dazzling, radiant Fire Phoenix approaching from below, Esdeath's excitement grew. She roared commands at the four Ice Dragons:
"Go! Surround and kill it!"
The four Ice Dragons roared heavenward, dragging their gigantic, hundred-meter-long bodies, opening their huge mouths, and together rushed towards the Fire Phoenix below!
One ice, four fires—one above, four below—the two sides clashed at extreme speed in the air!
Rumble... explosions roared, fire waves surged, cold ice shattered, and tremors spread in all directions!
This was the first time the Phoenix and the four Ice Dragons clashed!
After this (money-earning) round, the Phoenix spread its wings and spun rapidly upwards, while the four Ice Dragons twisted their bodies and circled downwards.
Esdeath, who had just been protected by the Ice Dragons from calamity, stood on the dragon's head, opening her eyes and looking at the scene before her.
The Phoenix remained safe and sound, brilliant flames burning on its body, soaring and dancing under the dark clouds.
Then looking at her four Ice Dragons, the heads and necks of all four Ice Dragons showed varying degrees of damage.
Seeing these damaged areas still emitting heat, one could imagine how terrifying the Phoenix's flames were. Such formidable and chilling four Ice Dragons had already taken a hit in the very first exchange!
The Phoenix hovered in the sky for a moment, then charged downwards towards the Ice Dragon where Esdeath was located, clearly intending to capture the queen first!
Esdeath, undaunted, surged forward, loudly shouting and riding the Ice Dragon she controlled as it soared into the sky!
