The Nine Phoenixes of the Divine Maiden

She is the most shameful “half-phoenix” of Beiji Guishan: human-faced and bird-bodied, with blue flames burning away her clan’s hypocritical dignity. Even the talkative Xingtian Sword thinks her dancing is off the beat. But when the ice cracks and Xingtian’s blood-tear-streaked eyes open from the abyss, Jiufeng learns that this world is nothing but a game played by the gods. The tearful remnant of a spirit official in the aurora was her in a past life; the god-slaying curse buried beneath Xiangliu’s nine heads is her in this one!

From crimson corpse grass that devours souls and bones to the ancient mountaintop where Zhulong’s opening eyes bring day and closing eyes bring night, Jiufeng strides through burning phoenix feathers and lies, tearing open the bloodiest truth of the Three Realms. When the fallen god Zhurong lights the flames of world-ending karma with all creation as his candle, she spreads her wings and shatters the sky. Her left wing gathers five-colored divine stones to mend the heavens, while her right carries Xingtian’s blue flames to burn the eight wildernesses!

“Who says a half-breed can’t slay a god?” The charred phoenix claw prints on the icy steps become a wildfire at last, burning through this filthy Heavenly Dao!
