Between the earth and the dark clouds, a heaven-shaking battle commenced.
On one side was the brilliantly burning Blazing Phoenix, on the other were four colossal Ice Dragons. On one side, Uchiha Madara was hidden within, controlling the Phoenix to dance up and down. On the other, Esdeath rode atop an Ice Dragon's head, commanding the battle!
The Phoenix and the four Ice Dragons once again twisted and fought together. Instantly, bright flames and extreme cold fiercely collided. Resounding explosions continuously erupted, and various impacts burst open in the sky!
Under Esdeath's command, the four Ice Dragons opened their mouths wide, ferociously pouncing and biting at the Phoenix.
Compared to these four seemingly colossal yet clumsy Ice Dragons, the Blazing Phoenix moved with surprising lightness. It fiercely impacted all four Ice Dragons, yet the Phoenix could easily evade with a light flap of its wings.
While evading, the Phoenix did not forget to attack. Its wings, full of raging flames, brutally struck the Ice Dragons' massive bodies as it swept past, instantly causing fiery explosions and burning!
Two Ice Dragons, hit by the burning wing flaps, cried out miserably.
Esdeath grew anxious. She controlled the other two Ice Dragons to twist their bodies, their massive, ferocious dragon heads turning towards the Phoenix, opening their mouths wide to unleash an incredibly fast ice crystal storm attack!
Two torrents of ice crystal storms swept towards the Phoenix's body, yet the Phoenix remained completely unharmed.
Although this storm was icy cold, it was nowhere near enough against the Phoenix's extreme flames. As for the extremely fast, dense ice crystals mixed within the storm, when they struck the Phoenix, they were either melted by the extreme flames or passed through the Phoenix completely harmlessly.
Why was the Phoenix completely unharmed even after being pierced by ice crystals?
Nonsense! Because this Phoenix was formed by Uchiha Madara using extreme flames. Can ordinary physical attacks hit fire? Isn't it better if they can't hit?
The two masses of ice crystal storm had no effect whatsoever, leaving Esdeath somewhat dumbfounded.
However, the Phoenix below gave Esdeath no chance to collect herself. It soared freely, the flames on its body surging fiercely against the wind, charging towards the Ice Dragons above!
Esdeath tried to control the Ice Dragons to quickly evade, but the Ice Dragons' bodies were enormous and inflexible. Only the two previously injured Ice Dragons managed to fly away. The one Esdeath was riding and another did not have time to evade!
The Phoenix flew straight up, its two burning claws brutally smashing down on the two Ice Dragons!
Since Esdeath was standing on one of the Ice Dragons' heads, watching the gigantic flaming claws approach and feeling the terrifying power of the flames and the sharpness of the claws, she immediately jumped off the dragon and fled!
SPLAT! The Phoenix's two sharp claws crushed the two Ice Dragons' heads at that moment, even crushing half of one's head.
Esdeath, jumping down into the air, was caught by another Ice Dragon. She remained mounted on this Ice Dragon's head, once again controlling these two Ice Dragons to spiral upwards and pounce on the Phoenix.
The dazzling Phoenix moved with swirling momentum, dancing gracefully between the two Ice Dragons, effortlessly weaving between biting and strangling attacks. It wasn't just graceful; amidst its graceful movements, its wings flapped, sharp claws swept, and flames spurted—a relentless barrage of attacks.
And looking at those four Ice Dragons...
The four Ice Dragons did indeed have massive bodies and were formidable enough. If used for area-of-effect attacks, they would certainly be effective. But against a flexible and robust Phoenix, they were truly clumsy.
Their attacks couldn't land on the Phoenix, and their bodies were relatively cumbersome, simply unable to catch up to their agile foe.
Therefore, although it appeared to be a grand and mighty battle in the sky, in reality, the battle situation was completely one-sided.
As the battle progressed, the Phoenix remained unharmed, while the four Ice Dragons grew increasingly miserable.
The originally fierce and ferocious Ice Dragons, under the Phoenix's continuous attacks, suffered from broken limbs and missing parts, which was normal. Some even had their heads and parts of their bodies crushed. If it weren't for their vague resemblance to dragons, one wouldn't even recognize them as Ice Dragons.
And Esdeath became increasingly frustrated the more she fought.
What she enjoyed was a battle with fierce collisions, fist against flesh, not this kind of battle where she couldn't hit the enemy, yet the enemy could always hit her.
With a furious roar, Esdeath finally couldn't endure it anymore.
With a raise of her hand, the winter wind howled, and an ice crystal storm manifested between heaven and earth, beneath the dark clouds.
As Esdeath exerted control, the three most severely damaged Ice Dragons shattered into ice crystals once more. These shimmering ice crystals gathered on the last Ice Dragon that Esdeath was riding.
Amidst the howling winter wind and dancing ice crystals, a portion of the ice crystals gathered on the last Ice Dragon, restoring its dragon body, while another portion swirled around the Ice Dragon, rapidly rotating and dancing.
The Phoenix hovered opposite the Ice Dragon, watching Esdeath's actions with interest. It seemed Esdeath was finally being pushed to her limit.
Indeed, after repairing the last Ice Dragon, Esdeath rapidly twisted and swept all the ice crystals around the Ice Dragon. Her roar also echoed through the sky:
"Ice Dragon! Ice Crystal Heavenly Thorn Sword!"
...
As Esdeath's words fell, the ice crystals swirling around the Ice Dragon spun and compressed to an unbelievable degree. The front end of the ice crystals extended and sharpened, instantly forming a pointed, thorn-like sword! (The author said it was almost like a drill.)
Though it sounds simple, the power of so many dense, sharp, swirling ice crystals was indeed terrifying.
Finally, the Ice Dragon hidden within opened its mouth wide, spraying terrifying cold air into the spinning ice crystals in front of it, further increasing their coldness and power.
The Ice Dragon roared skyward, carrying the extremely rapidly spinning ice crystal storm, charging at the Phoenix!
The Phoenix was unhurried. The extreme flames on its body suddenly surged high, almost turning into fire that blazed to the sky.
Immediately, the Blazing Phoenix opened its sharp beak.
Esdeath, riding on the Ice Dragon, saw clearly: through the open beak, Uchiha Madara was visible inside the Phoenix's body.
Uchiha Madara, hidden within the Phoenix's body, smiled faintly, extended his hand forward, and the extreme flame compressed and spun in his hand. In that instant, the Explosive Flame Rasengan condensed in his hand once again!
Uchiha Madara pushed the Explosive Flame Rasengan forward, aiming it directly at the Phoenix's open beak.
And then, increasing the output of chakra and flame, the Explosive Flame Rasengan suddenly swelled, becoming a gigantic Explosive Flame Rasengan with a diameter of one meter!
The Blazing Phoenix swallowed an extreme Explosive Flame Rasengan, its wings beating, and flew towards the attacking Ice Dragon!
