Chapter 449 Ch 449: Divine Phoenix Emperor
Ling Xiaolong's attention was attracted. He asked with a frown, "What happened when you grabbed the Red Eye?"
"I don't know what exactly happened but..."
Wen Zexu showed a confused expression on his face. Then he continued, "...the earth and sky seemed to have been dyed with red for a few seconds. Of course, this happened within a limited range, and I was the source since I was holding the Red Eye."
"Those three Celestial Sovereigns were not far from us at that time. That is also why they were able to quickly come to us when they saw the sudden burst of red everywhere and saw me holding the Red Eye. They immediately threatened me to give them the Red Eye."
"I obviously did not want to give the Red Eye to them. I and my sister were no match for those people, so we started running at the first possible moment. They chased after us. At the same time, they even sent messages to the force they came from. Now that they are killed, I am certain their backers will seek retribution. Fortunately, I have given the Red Eye to you. Even if I meet my demise, at least they won't be able to obtain this treasure."
It was clear that Wen Zexu did not want those people to obtain the Red Eye, so he would rather give it to Ling Xiaolong, their savior.
The forces behind those three Celestial Sovereigns didn't know that Ling Xiaolong had killed them. They must think that Wen Zexu and Wen Xuya pulled some tricks to kill the three Celestial Sovereigns.
Whatever the case might be, it is a certainty that the forces behind the three Celestial Sovereigns will definitely come after them.
Ling Xiaolong did not say anything. Now that he was sure of the connection between the threatening presence and the Red Eye, he wanted to go to the Eternal Flame City even more.
"Both of you, are you going to Eternal Flame City?"
Ling Xiaolong thought of something and asked.
"Yes." Wen Zexu nodded and said, "I have heard that a mysterious ruin had suddenly appeared a few months ago not far from the Eternal Flame City. The outer layer of the defense formation of that ruin can't even be opened by a Master of Chaos, so there must be some shocking treasures inside. Thus, I brought my little sister here to join in the fun."
Wen Zexu involuntarily laughed bitterly as he spoke. When he recalled what he had just experienced, he could not help but sigh. The water within this Eternal Flame City was really too deep.
He had yet to arrive at the city but he had nearly lost his life. If he really entered the city and even that ruin, it was unknown what kind of danger he would face.
"Since that's the case, then why don't we travel together and enter the city first?"
Ling Xiaolong smiled faintly.
This place was thousands of miles away from Eternal Flame City. This kind of distance was not much for Ling Xiaolong, but he did not want to teleport there directly. That was the case before, and that is the case even more now that he was holding the Red Eye in his hand.
Yes, he did not put this Red Eye in the storage ring. It is because he has a feeling that the dimensional restriction of the storage ring will not work on this Red Eye. It is alive, and if it wants to escape, it could break the dimensional barrier and disappear easily.
No matter what, he was not going to give up on this Red Eye until he doesn't solve the mystery surrounding it.
"Then I'll have to thank you. It'll be a lot safer for us to follow an expert like you."
Wen Zexu hurriedly expressed his gratitude.
Just as they were about to leave, Ling Xiaolong sensed something and flew high in the sky, looking in the distance.
In another God Valley, the sky suddenly ruptured and opened, and a terrifying spatial turbulence set forth.
"Abyssals!"
Ling Xiaolong muttered. He could sense the presence of countless Abyssals beyond the ruptured sky.
An uneasy feeling brewed in Ling Xiaolong's heart. But he did not take any action immediately.
After some time, the group of three continued their journey towards Eternal Flame City.
.....
About an hour later, the three of them arrived at the gate of a magnificent city. Above the city was a huge formation that was constantly operating. At the core of the formation were two flaming red beads. They were like eyeballs that were rotating inside the formation, and they looked quite intimidating.
"Those are the eyes of Flaming Divine Phoenix!"
When Wen Zexu and Wen Xuya saw the two flaming red beads, they became excited for some reason.
Wen Zexu immediately started to explain, "The formation at the city gate is used to closely monitor all the people who enter the city. With the help of this formation whose source is the eyeballs of Flaming Divine Phoenix, Eternal Flame Clan could see the background of every person who enter the city, including their race and cultivation base. This is how they protect the entire Eternal Flame City from invasion of any unknown force."
"You know, in the past hundred years when Abyssals invaded our Land of Celestial Glory, this formation played a vital role in blocking the army of Abyssals outside. There was a case when more than one people were possessed by Abyssals, but all of them were discovered the moment they tried to cross the city gate. The Eternal Flame Clan acted immediately and killed all those people, protecting the city."
Ling Xiaolong had to admit that the means of the Eternal Flame Clan were indeed very good.
While the two of them were talking, there was already a long line of people at the city gate. These people were all waiting to enter the city.
Apart from paying the entrance fee, they also had to be inspected under the Eyes of Flaming Divine Phoenix.
Every person who walked into the city had to be looked at by two Eyes of Flaming Divine Phoenix. If discovered that the person has come to the Eternal Flame City with the intention of harming the Eternal Flame City or Eternal Flame Clan, a terrifying Flaming Divine Phoenix will manifest and attack.
Ling Xiaolong and the Wen siblings lined up as well.
Very quickly, it was Ling Xiaolong's group's turn. The Wen siblings went forward and paid the entrance fee as well as Ling Xiaolong's share. Then, they stood at the city gate one by one.
Rustle~
Two eyes lit up one after another. Fierce flame was burned in the two eyes before calming down.
For a moment, Ling Xiaolong felt a divine sense that belonged to a Master of Chaos above Level 30 from the two eyes.
"Someone has already refined these two eyes as their own. That person must have a very high status in the Eternal Flame Clan."
Ling Xiaolong could immediately tell that the two miraculous eyes of the phoenix were actually controlled by a Master of Chaos sitting somewhere in the city.
As the flame calmed down, everything soon returned to normal.
"Welcome to the Eternal Flame City!"
Just like that, the three of them passed the test. The city guards made an inviting gesture to the three of them. This kind of gentle attitude was mainly directed towards Ling Xiaolong.
It is mainly because Ling Xiaolong's cultivation was revealed as a Level 1 Master of Chaos.
Why was it that the two eyes of Flaming Divine Phoenix were unable to discern Ling Xiaolong's true cultivation?
It is because of Ling Xiaolong's complete control over the Rules of Chaos. As long as he doesn't want to, no one in the entire Chaos could see through him.
The Wen siblings weren't surprised by Ling Xiaolong's cultivation, because they had seen how Ling Xiaolong killed two black-clothed Celestial Sovereigns of Chaos by himself.
And because it was revealed that he was only a Level 1 Master of Chaos, they acted normal. If Ling Xiaolong's true cultivation would have been revealed, then they would have been frightened.
"Let's go into the city."
Ling Xiaolong said with a smile.
.....
_Eternal Flame Clan, Nine Flame Tower_
This was a treasured tower with nine floors. Every floor was an independent dimension.
The dimension on the ninth floor had about a thousand miles of area. There was a mountain, a river, a garden full of flowers, a lake, and a huge mansion in this dimension.
Everyone in the Eternal Flame Clan knows that Phoenix Slayer, Divine Phoenix Emperor was living in this mansion. He was also the guardian elder of the entire Eternal Flame City and had the highest status in the Eternal Flame Clan.
Even the family head of the Eternal Flame Clan does not dare to raise his head in front of the Divine Phoenix Emperor.
Almost every Master of Chaos in the Land of Celestial Glory is aware that the Divine Phoenix Emperor earned his title by slaying a Flaming Divine Phoenix.
However, only a select few know that the Divine Phoenix Emperor not only refined the two eyes of the Flaming Divine Phoenix but also the phoenix blood, integrating it into his own body, obtaining the purest Bloodline of the Flaming Divine Phoenix and several of the phoenix's abilities.
