Chapter 955: Chapter 945: Phoenix Race Descendant
"Desire, power, greed, hatred."
The old man sighed helplessly, "It was the intertwining of these factors that led to this irreparable disaster of destruction."
"Various Divine Beast Races exhausted everything to fight for limited resources and the highest positions, eventually resulting in mutual destruction and the decline and extinction of the Divine Beast Race."
"The battle of that year also led to the extinction of countless races in the Demon Realm. Even after hundreds of thousands of years, I remember it clearly."
"I see." The Ice Phoenix nodded, "Master once said that desire and greed are the most evil things in the world."
"Whether it’s desire or greed, once amplified, it becomes endless and uncontrollable."
"Correct." The old man nodded with a smile, "Without desire and greed, the Divine Beast Races of the Demon Realm wouldn’t have taken this path of no return."
The Nine-tailed Spirit Fox then asked, "Elder, what does this have to do with us? Why do you want us to see this?"
The old man smiled faintly, "It has nothing to do with you, but it concerns her."
"Concerns me?" The Ice Phoenix was suddenly startled.
"Indeed, it concerns you." The old man nodded with a smile.
The Nine-tailed Spirit Fox was shocked and incredulous, "How is this possible? The Ice Phoenix comes from the Immortal Realm, not the Demon Realm, moreover, it happened hundreds of thousands of years ago. How could it be related to the Ice Phoenix?"
The Ice Phoenix quickly asked, "Elder, can you tell me what exactly is going on?"
The old man smiled faintly, "In those days, there were five Divine Beast Races in the Demon Realm, the most powerful being the Ancient Dragon Race and the Ancient Phoenix Race."
"What? Phoenix Race?" The Ice Phoenix and Nine-tailed Spirit Fox were both shocked.
Especially the Ice Phoenix, whose heart was touched profoundly upon hearing about the Ancient Phoenix Race.
The Nine-tailed Spirit Fox glanced at the Ice Phoenix, then asked the old man, "Elder, could it be that the Ice Phoenix is related to the Ancient Phoenix Race?"
The Ice Phoenix looked at the elder in shock, seemingly eager to know something.
"Yes." The old man nodded slightly with a smile, "It certainly concerns the Ice Phoenix."
The Ice Phoenix’s breathing became rapid, urgently asking, "Elder, am I a descendant of the Ancient Phoenix Race?"
The old man remained silent for a moment, then slowly said, "To be honest, I’m not sure, because the Divine Beast Bloodline of the Ancient Phoenix Race was of the Fire Attribute, whereas you have the Ice Attribute Divine Beast Bloodline, yet your divine beast bloodline aura is identical to that of the Phoenix Race, and is even more powerful."
"In the Immortal Realm, there is no Divine Beast Phoenix Race, only the Celestial Phoenix Race, but they don’t possess the pure Phoenix Race bloodline and aren’t considered true Phoenix Race."
"However, it’s certain that having the Divine Beast Bloodline, you must have some connection with the Ancient Phoenix Race. I guided you here because I also wanted to figure out some matters."
The Ice Phoenix frowned and said, "Elder, I have no understanding of the Phoenix Race."
The old man then asked, "Do you recall where you came from? Why did you come to the Demon Realm? And when did your Divine Beast Bloodline awaken?"
The Nine-tailed Spirit Fox asked in shock, "Do Divine Beast Bloodlines need to be awakened?"
"Yes." The old man nodded, "Even the Ancient Divine Beast Race wasn’t born with a Divine Beast Bloodline, but rather an ordinary Ancient Bloodline."
"Only by reaching a certain realm of cultivation can one awaken the Divine Beast Bloodline."
The Ice Phoenix explained in detail, "I come from the Lower Realm’s Cultivation Realm. As soon as I was born, I had the Ice Attribute. At the time, I didn’t even know who I was, so I knew nothing of my origins."
"I searched in the Cultivation Realm for a long time, but found no one like me, living alone for who knows how long until I met my Master."
"My Master took me in and told me I was a Demon Beast Phoenix, and since I have the Ice Attribute, they gave me the name Ice Phoenix. Since then, I’ve stayed by my Master’s side. My Master guided my cultivation and helped me ascend to the Immortal Realm. From my birth until now, it’s been tens of thousands of years."
"When I ascended to the Immortal Realm, the Ice Attribute transformed into Immortal Power. Soon after, my Master noticed that the bloodline within me was about to awaken, and then took me to the Celestial Phoenix Race to awaken the Ice Attribute Divine Beast Bloodline."
"The reason I awakened the Ice Attribute Divine Beast Bloodline, my Master said, was likely due to the Celestial Emperor’s Blood. It was also my Master’s will that I came to the Demon Realm."
Upon hearing this.
The Nine-tailed Spirit Fox was utterly stunned, staring wide-eyed at the Ice Phoenix.
The Nine-tailed Spirit Fox could hardly believe that the Ice Phoenix came from the Lower Realm and cultivated for just tens of thousands of years to reach the Immortal Monarch Realm.
The Nine-tailed Spirit Fox couldn’t even begin to see that the Ice Phoenix had been cultivating for tens of thousands of years.
"I see." The old man nodded, then curiously asked, "What is the Celestial Emperor’s Blood?"
The Ice Phoenix clenched her jade-like hand into a claw, and a wisp of blood-colored energy instantly emerged in her palm, radiating an unimaginably terrifying power.
"This is the Celestial Emperor’s Blood." The Ice Phoenix said softly, "But it’s merely a strand of the Power of Origin."
Feeling the terrifying power of the Celestial Emperor’s Blood, the Nine-tailed Spirit Fox couldn’t help but exclaim, "What terrifying Ice Attribute Power!"
The elder was equally terrified, exclaiming in shock, "This strand of Power of Origin is probably just one ten-thousandth of its original power, and not even its true power."
"One ten-thousandth!" The Nine-tailed Spirit Fox’s eyes widened, his heart surging with a tidal wave.
Just one ten-thousandth is so terrifying, how terrifying would the real Celestial Emperor’s Blood be?
The Nine-tailed Spirit Fox couldn’t even begin to imagine, and dared not imagine.
"That’s right." The old man nodded, "Perhaps because the Ice Phoenix’s cultivation is too weak, she’s unable to exert the true power of the Celestial Emperor’s Blood."
"Elder, I also awakened the Phoenix Divine Flame." The Ice Phoenix continued, then summoned blood-colored flames, exuding a dominating, terrifying fiery aura.
"Is this the Phoenix Divine Flame?" The Nine-tailed Spirit Fox was scared out of his wits, extremely terrified, "This flame is even more frightening than the ancient flames in the Demon Realm."
"Indeed! This is the Phoenix Divine Flame!" The old man was extremely shocked, "It’s even more terrifying than the Ancient Phoenix Race’s Divine Fire. It seems it’s indeed due to the Celestial Emperor’s Blood that your Divine Beast Bloodline and Phoenix Divine Flame have become so powerful."
"Ice Phoenix, you may truly be a descendant of the Ancient Phoenix Race, and only a true Phoenix Race can awaken the Divine Beast Bloodline and Phoenix Divine Flame! The Ancient Phoenix Race can now be said to have descendants!"
Looking at the excited old man, the Ice Phoenix asked, "Elder, what is your relationship with the Phoenix Race?"
The old man smiled faintly, "My master was the clan leader of the Ancient Phoenix Race, and I was just an ordinary demon beast race. It was thanks to my master that I survived."
"Before my master passed, they left a legacy. Whether you are a descendant of the Ancient Phoenix Race will soon have an answer."
"The jade pendant in your hand is the Ancient Phoenix Race’s Ancient Jade, and only it can open my master’s tomb. Follow me."
