Chapter 455: Chapter 371: Swallowing the Imperial Pill and Becoming an Emperor
As the surge of new power climbed progressively, the skeletal cage encasing the Phoenix Egg was illuminated in brilliant multicolored radiance, filling the entire space with this dazzling hue.
The Earth Fire danced wildly on the bones, brimming with world-destroying power, but was suddenly consumed by a force.
The multicolored radiance grew ever stronger, breaking through the confinement of the skeletal cage and Earth Fire, spreading outward. In an instant, the entire palace was enveloped in this strange light, as if draped in a dreamlike veil.
At the center of the light, the Phoenix Egg trembled slightly, with more and more cracks appearing on the eggshell, as a new life was being born inside. Mysterious runes on the eggshell emerged faintly, seemingly containing the Power of Laws.
With a crisp cry of the phoenix, the eggshell finally shattered, and a gorgeous multicolored fledgling phoenix flapped its wings and emerged.
It was tiny and delicate, its feathers shimmering with multicolored brilliance, each plume seemingly sculpted from the world’s most precious gems, dazzling and eye-catching.
The phoenix’s eyes were like two blazing suns, exuding endless majesty and sanctity. It lowered its head and sucked, the eggshell melted into a golden stream and was swallowed by it.
Not only that, the original bones also crumbled under the flames, with their essence flying out and merging into the phoenix’s new body.
Meanwhile, the surrounding Earth Fire poured crazily into its body, causing it to grow rapidly, with the originally downy feathers quickly expanding, and soon it grew to half a zhang in size.
Shen Wang saw that the phoenix was too occupied to notice them, immediately waved his hand, and sliced off a large section of the Phoenix Tree branch.
He pinched a spell, and the space in front of him fluctuated, transforming into a portal, within which appeared a Teleportation Array composed of various jades.
Taking a step forward, Shi Kongxuan followed behind, and the two arrived at an underground volcano, with a crater above.
Beside it was a space barrier, still a part of the ruins. Not only the Teleportation Array, but the entire volcano was covered by an Array, making it hard for outsiders to discover this place.
"This Teleportation Array is very advanced."
Shi Kongxuan, being knowledgeable, said, "It definitely can get us out of here in one go, son-in-law, can you activate it?"
"The records here include details about this Teleportation Array, but it does require a lot of power. We’ll activate it together, follow my lead."
Shen Wang nodded, he waved his hand to project the situation at the Phoenix Tree, while simultaneously activating the Teleportation Array with Shi Kongxuan.
Inside the palace, in just half a day, the phoenix had grown to its adult form.
It stretched its enormous wings, each flap bringing forth a wave of flames, distorting the surrounding space.
At this moment, its presence surpassed that of a Demon Saint, reaching the Great Saint Level.
The newly reborn phoenix let out a long cry towards the sky, its voice echoing across the heavens and earth, as if proclaiming its rebirth to the entire world.
It flew to the Pill Furnace, and with a claw, flipped it open, allowing a blue Elixir to fly out. This was refined by the Great Saint’s Divinity, not comparable to an Emperor Pill, yet still a potent restorative.
After swallowing the Elixir in one gulp, its aura rose once more.
But it wasn’t satisfied, opened its mouth to suck, strands of flames flew through the void, containing Life Force, extracted from slain adventurers. Refined once in the Alchemy Furnace, all were consumed by it.
The residual bone essence, Earth Fire, and Life Force quickly aided in recovering its strength, soon reaching the pinnacle of the Great Saint.
Later, it stabilized its strength, opened the Cosmic Box, letting a Five-Colored Elixir fly out, it was indeed the Emperor Pill.
"After tens of thousands of years, it’s finally been refined successfully. This time, I will make a breakthrough."
The phoenix muttered to itself, glanced to the side to notice the two finding its hidden Teleportation Array and activating it, coldly snorted: "No matter how skilled their Array level is, it’s not so easy to activate an intercontinental Teleportation Array."
Ignoring the two ants, it swallowed the Emperor Pill, and its whole body shone brilliantly.
The power of the Emperor Pill transformed into a multicolored flood entering its body, the phoenix absorbed with full force.
Soon, its previously stagnated power skyrocketed once more, the nearby space twisted suddenly, and a mightier force began to gestate.
Shortly, upon reaching the limit, an immense and unmatched force erupted within it, long-standing bottlenecks no longer able to impede.
This force swept through like an erupting volcano, frantically impacting its meridians and spiritual orifices, causing its Essence, Qi, and Spirit to transform, breaking through shackles.
Around the phoenix, the multicolored light surged, with strands of the Power of Laws interwoven, seemingly reshaping its body.
This level of power is terrifying, even with its newborn body, it endured immense pressure, with meridians cracking under the Emperor Pill’s terrifying power.
Its body trembled violently, wings flapped involuntarily, causing waves of flames to surge outwards like the roaring sea, breaking the surrounding space, revealing dark void fissures.
Seeing the palace it resided in shattering, it had to fly out of the space, breaking through in the outer Magical Treasure palace.
Though far away at the volcano, Shen Wang and Shi Kongxuan noticed the entire Array space trembling, with the terrifying aftershocks from inside the space causing their blood and Qi to churn, they quickly circulated their body Mana to protect themselves, and fully activated the Teleportation Array.
The phoenix cried out, its voice imbued with pain, the tearing sensation from rapidly expanding power, its body showing bloody scars as if about to split.
Yet its eyes were resolutely firm, rebirth was for this moment of breakthrough, it used its Innate Divine Techniques, birthing Nirvana’s Fire, with injured meridians and flesh rapidly regenerating, fully absorbing the Elixir’s power, stepping towards the Mahayana Realm.
As the Emperor Pill’s medicinal power fully dissolved, pressure decreased drastically, merging with its Nirvana Divine Fire, converting into pure and strong streams of Spiritual Power, constantly merging with its flesh and spirit.
With continuous convergence and impact of power, the phoenix’s physical body transformed again, and its Mana and Primordial Spirit followed suit, with its aura climbing higher and higher.
At the pinnacle of the Great Saint, the shackles completely shattered under the impact of the Emperor Pill’s potency, a thunderous roar echoed from within the phoenix, the fetters constraining its power utterly collapsed.
The phoenix’s body radiated immensely, the original multicolored light evolving into a more mysterious and profound divine halo, completely enveloping its body, containing a certain amount of Law power.
Within the light, the phoenix’s Essence, Qi, and Spirit continued transforming, its body further enlarging, quickly growing from one zhang to several zhang.
Its feathers became even more resplendent, each one seemingly imbued with the Law of Heaven and Earth, exuding an awe-inspiring aura.
The phoenix’s eyes grew increasingly profound, the majesty and sanctity it embodied far beyond comparison with the Saint Realm, as if capable of shattering all things with just a movement.
With the last vestige of strength stabilized, the space around the phoenix fractured, it successfully broke through to the Realm of the Great Emperor!
It spread its wings, soaring out of the relic space, gliding through the skies, its cry resonating across the nine heavens, causing nearby mountains and lands to quake.
Ascending to the highest heaven, the phoenix overlooked the earth, emitting a jubilant and heroic long cry, its voice spreading through the entire forbidden land, reaching even farther, as if declaring the emergence of a new emperor.
