His cultivation level had long reached the pinnacle of Saint Manifestation. Combined with the supreme sonic scripture inheritance from the Sanqing, his combat power was astonishing. It was no overstatement to call him a half-step Earth Immortal.
But on a battlefield of that caliber, a half-step Earth Immortal... was ultimately not a true Earth Immortal.
Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix was a forbidden tune of the Sonic Sect. Any technique bearing the word "forbidden" often implied it came with an enormous, unacceptable cost in exchange for the desired power.
And that cost was life itself.
His foundational accumulation was no match for Zhuo Canglang's, making it impossible for him to attempt Tribulation Transcendence on the spot. He could only resort to this method, burning his own life force in exchange for a short-term surge in combat power. Only then could he make a difference in such a battle.
