Evolving infinitely from ground zero

"I thought she had some skills, but it turns out she's just an ant easily squished between my fingers,"

said the Fire Phoenix, suspended still high in the sky above the raging inferno, looking down at the spectacular demise of high-ranking aquatic creatures with a sneer of disdain.

In the first round of combat, its Hell Ghost Fire, ignited mid-air, was easily extinguished by the mist from the ten thousand meter Water Dragon controlled by Shen Qinghan; it couldn't be rekindled.

Being suppressed despite its higher Biological Level was a blow to its pride.

Now that it had killed Shen Qinghan, not saying something to belittle her and elevate itself made it feel as uncomfortable as being covered in crawling ants.

In contrast, the Azure Dragon not far away frowned slightly, feeling more and more that something was amiss with the spectacle before it.

Sensing trouble, it immediately conveyed its doubts to the Fire Phoenix, "Feng Yuan, something seems off about the spectacle before us; it's unusually large."

"Her Biological Level was only legendary tier one. The phenomenon caused by her fall shouldn't be this magnificent."

"There must be some problem here."

"..."

"What problem could there be?"

The Fire Phoenix continued dismissively, "She was abnormal to begin with; no Earthling could possibly have her strength."

"I guess she must have had some ancient inheritance and an extraordinary physique, so the phenomenon caused by her fall is equally extraordinary."

"But no matter how extraordinary, she has now fallen, and everything has turned to nothing."

With that, the Fire Phoenix turned its gaze to Lin Zichen below and said to the Azure Dragon, "There's one more down there; having just unleashed a Flame Explosion, my body is a bit weakened. You go and deal with him."

The Azure Dragon coolly replied, "Leave it to me."

As soon as the words fell, it burst forth with Origin Force, intending to dive down towards Lin Zichen below.

But just as it moved to dive, it sharply perceived changes in the surrounding environment and immediately ceased its descent.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing the Azure Dragon halt inexplicably, the Fire Phoenix couldn't help but voice its confusion.

The Azure Dragon's eyebrows knit together, "Have you noticed the humidity around us is noticeably increasing?"

Upon hearing this, the Fire Phoenix, retrospectively aware, did notice the air's humidity had significantly increased.

After a moment of thought, it said, "That Earthling girl who just died in my Flame Explosion was quite adept at controlling the water element; her physique must be closely bound to water."

"The increase in humidity is probably due to her fall."

"Her dispersing aura after death permeates the entire sky, changing some of the sky's attributes."

This explanation was logical and convincing.

The Azure Dragon, feeling the reasoning was solid, no longer dwelled on the issue and quickly erupted in Origin Force again, hastening to deal with Lin Zichen below.

Just then!

Out of the corner of its eye, it suddenly noticed a water orb behind the Fire Phoenix, rapidly growing larger.

In the blink of an eye, the plum-sized water orb swelled to the size of the Fire Phoenix's massive body.

Realizing what was happening, the Azure Dragon shouted a warning to the Fire Phoenix, "Feng Yuan, watch out behind you!"

The moment the words fell, the Azure Dragon's Origin Force exploded with speed too fast for the mind to perceive, rushing to the giant water orb that had appeared out of nowhere behind the Fire Phoenix.

The Fire Phoenix's expression changed drastically, and it too unleashed its Origin Force, eager to move away from its current location.

However, no sooner had its Origin Force erupted than before it could move its massive body—

In the next second!

The giant water orb behind it transformed into a massive shell, opening a gaping maw.

Then, under the horrified gaze of the Azure Dragon, the mysterious giant shell swallowed the Fire Phoenix whole.

Swallowed whole.

The speed of the swallow was so fast that neither the Azure Dragon nor the Fire Phoenix could react.

Then, as if the Water Element in the shell had a life of its own, it surged frantically into the Fire Phoenix's body.

Nostrils.

Mouth.

Genitals.

Pores...

Any orifice leading into the Fire Phoenix's body was flooded by the water element from the shell.

In less than half a second, the Fire Phoenix's body was bloated into a sphere.

It swelled ever larger, obscuring the sun and sky.

The Fire Phoenix wanted to save itself but realized in horror that it had lost control of its body.

The Origin Force inside it was completely suppressed by the inbound Water Element.

All it could do was watch helplessly as its body became increasingly swollen, inflating like a balloon, not knowing when it would burst.

"Buzz!" Explore more at empire

The Azure Dragon shot forth to the Fire Phoenix's front, releasing a powerful burst of Origin Force, pulling the Fire Phoenix out of the giant shell made of condensed water.

The moment the Fire Phoenix escaped the giant shell,

The surrounding Water Element in the entire sky suddenly became extremely lively, madly converging from all directions towards the now swollen, spherical Fire Phoenix.

The Azure Dragon erupted with Origin Force again, preventing the Water Element in the air from flowing into the Fire Phoenix.

But it wasn't long before the Azure Dragon itself started struggling.

At the moment it reached out to save the Fire Phoenix, the Water Element in the air also began surging frantically into its body.

"Boom!!!"

Suddenly, a deafening explosion sounded.

The Fire Phoenix's inflated body burst like a nuclear bomb, flesh scattered, a vast cloud of blood spreading, staining the sky red.

Not long after—

"Boom!!!"

Another explosion echoed.
