Chapter 396: Divine Phoenix Eternal Flame, Black Sky Sword
Half a month later...
The space.
A large, terrifying hand tore a hole in the space above a nameless island in North Sea, causing violent tremors.
A figure suddenly appeared and fell down as if he had been kicked out.
That figure was Shen Tian.
After half a month, he had finally managed to escape the void turbulence.
“Damn, so violent!
“You weren’t like that in bed earlier.”
Shen Tian quickly steadied himself but continued grumbling.
A voice suddenly rang out. Her tone was mild, but she seemed to be breathing heavily.
“Scoundrel. I did that for the sole purpose of healing my injuries. You better keep mum about this matter. I will kill you if you dare to spread α word about this!”
Shen Tian did not care about the threat. Instead, he stroked his chin curiously. “What if you get pregnant?”
The void vibrated violently.
Half the sky was tinged red as if a blazing flame was about to erupt and incinerate everything.
In the end, it was suppressed, and calm descended again.
“That won’t happen. I will use my arts to force out the thing you left inside me.”
Thereafter, the rip in the fabrics of space was mended, and everything was at peace again.
The corners of Shen Tian’s mouth twitched. “You can actually force that thing out? Impressive! Really impressive!”
...
The Immortal Phoenix Queen trembled inside the void turbulence.
She sighed. “Didn’t expect to have shown this embarrassing side of myself to that kid during my Qi Deviation.
“Even more shameful is the fact that I could not hold myself against that kid. So embarrassing...
“He’s just a human. How is his physical body so strong? Too much!”
The Immortal Phoenix Queen didn’t expect to have engaged in such a ridiculous act—all because she had suffered a Qi Deviation, and her soul had been in disarray.
By the time she had returned to her senses, it was all too late.
Her precious first time was gone, just like that.
However, this kid was indeed very handsome. His looks were worthy of her.
More importantly, that thing...
The Immortal Phoenix Queen blushed as she muttered to herself, “No, no, I must clean things up. I cannot face that kid again with such an image. Otherwise, that kid will be too arrogant.
“Scoundrel, I must behave cold and aloof next time we meet. To save my reputation!”
The Immortal Phoenix Queen gnashed her teeth, but she suddenly thought of something and smiled smugly.
“Ao Bing, you still lost to me. So what if you signed a contract with him first? I still took this man’s first time!”
The Immortal Phoenix Queen gazed across the void and flew gracefully toward Southern Border.
...
Shen Tian landed on the nameless island. He was still muttering to himself, feeling she had taken advantage of him.
“What the hell!?
“Kicking me aside right after the deed. I am so tired that my legs feel like jelly. And she still wants to use her arts to force it out?”
His face was somewhat pallid, and he was swaying a little as he walked.
He took a bottle of Nirvana Holy Liquid out of his Archeon Sea Ring and drank it all. His color looked better after that.
Over the past half a month, Shen Tian had been carrying out high-level and intense dual cultivation with the Immortal Phoenix Queen.
Half a month!
Half a month of non-stop action!
Even a Chaotic Golden Body Ninth Refinement Stage practitioner would have trouble walking after that!
“I have really been taken advantage of.
“I wonder how many treasures were left behind in the Golden Crow Thearch’s tomb.
“More importantly, I lost my precious virgin status. I slept with that female demon for half a month, and she didn’t even pay me $100.”
Indeed, nothing good would come out of a breakthrough while cultivating the Tinder Sutra.
Sigh...
Nevertheless, Shen Tian did not leave completely empty-handed.
Over the past half a month, the high-intensity training enhanced the divine phoenix power inside Shen Tian’s body.
His cultivation of the Divine Phoenix Imperial Sutra had also reached the greater mastery stage.
It should be pointed out that the Divine Phoenix Imperial Sutra was the Southern Border Phoenix race’s most important legacy sutra. It was on par with Black Dragon Island’s True Dragon Imperial Sutra.
After half a month of intense training, Shen Tian’s understanding of the divine phoenix power had deepened.
“I better settle down the energy inside my body first. I will think about the other matters later!”
Shen Tian sat down cross-legged and started cultivating on this nameless island.
Intense energy surged out of Shen Tian’s body, and a scarlet aura soon enshrouded him. He looked very mystical.
Behind him, a scarlet Divine Phoenix avatar appeared, and its wings spread wide with flames surging up to the skies.
This was the divine phoenix power and the most elite form of it. Similar to the Immortal Phoenix Queen’s.
Shen Tian’s body trembled.
Another energy suddenly rose from within his body as if attracted by the divine phoenix power.
Mmm?
What’s going on?
The divine dragon power is being triggered?
Shen Tian’s eyes hardened, but he did not try to stop it. He wanted to see what would happen with these two powers.
The two surging powers clashed within Shen Tian’s body, resulting in a mighty force.
Dragons roared and Phoenixes shrilled inside his body. Their power surged and roiled like powerful tsunami waves.
The two powers clashed again and again as if locked in battle.
Both powers wanted to take center stage in Shen Tian’s body. Neither was willing to give way.
“Interesting. Dragons fighting against the phoenixes. I wonder if anything special will come of it?”
Shen Tian did not mind the ongoing battle in his body. He had the Chaotic Golden Body and was very strong and solid.
As intense as the battle was, it was unable to hurt him at all.
Nonetheless, he had a vague idea of what was happening.
The Dragon and Phoenix races had never gotten along.
It was obvious even 10,000 years ago. The relationship between Ao Bing and the Immortal Phoenix Queen was the worst.
The two of them were extraordinary prodigies, but they hated each other.
The main reason was that the divine dragon power and divine phoenix power contradicted each other. It was like fire and ice—both found it difficult to co-exist.
Shen Tian had a special constitution. He could even refine extraordinary items, so the dragon and phoenix powers were nothing to him.
Shen Tian was rather curious about what would happen if the dragon and phoenix powers continued to fight.
“Eh?”
Shen Tian realized that as the two powers continued to clash, they ended up entwined with each other, resulting in a dragon-phoenix dance scenario!
The divine dragon power was stronger, and in the end, it managed to gain the upper hand.
The main reason was that Shen Tian had obtained the Dragon Emperor Constitution after eating the Dragon Source Fruit. As a result, the divine dragon power inside his body was stronger than the divine phoenix power.
As these two powers continued to clash, they subtly enhanced each other. It looked like a brand new form of energy was about to be created.
Unfortunately, everything came to an abrupt stop.
“Damn, I thought I would evolve again!”
The corners of Shen Tian’s lips twitched. He was somewhat disappointed.
The main reason was that the divine phoenix power inside his body was not strong enough. He could definitely evolve if the divine phoenix power was at the level of his divine dragon power.
“We will see how things turn out in the future!”
It was no easy feat to enhance the divine phoenix power unless he managed to get an extraordinary treasure like the Dragon Source Fruit.
And now that Shen Tian’s providence was rather low, he did not feel safe at all.
I better find a way to improve my providence first!
“Eh? Why is there another new kind of fire inside my body?”
Shen Tian was shocked. He realized that apart from the Nan Ming Li Fire and True Sun Fire, there was a third kind of fire inside his body now. It was a scarlet wavering flame, vaguely in the shape of a small phoenix.
“This is... the Immortal Phoenix race’s Divine Phoenix Eternal Flame!”
Shen Tian was filled with joy. Not only did he obtain the divine phoenix power after cultivating with the Immortal Phoenix Queen, but he had also gotten the Immortal Phoenix race’s Divine Phoenix Eternal Flame. It was a surprise.
With this Divine Phoenix Eternal Flame, Shen Tian’s ability to preserve his life had gotten even stronger.
The Divine Phoenix Eternal Flame was hailed as a Nirvana Divine Flame. It possessed potent vitality energy and gave its bearer the ability to resurrect.
His rate of recovery would be pushed to the maximum with this special fire.
Even if he suffered grievous injuries and was on the brink of death, he could make use of this fire to be reborn.
Its effect was on par with the Triple Light Divine Water and the Nirvana Holy Liquid. It might be even more potent.
Unfortunately, this flame was rather small and weak, so he could not use it to its full potential yet.
It was not a difficult thing to strengthen the Divine Phoenix Eternal Flame, however.
As the Five Elements could reinforce each other, Shen Tian could make use of the spiritual wood in his body to slowly enhance the divine flame. He could also make use of other fire-attribute energies to quickly strengthen the Divine Phoenix Eternal Flame.
To Shen Tian, who possessed over a dozen extraordinary items in his body, this was nothing to him.
“If I had known this would happen, I would have saved some Solar Liquid.”
The Solar Liquid was a peerless fire-attribute treasure with very pure energy.
Previously, Shen Tian had soaked inside the Solar Liquid to enhance the True Sun Fire inside his body. He had already used up this precious liquid when he was cultivating his Chaotic Golden Body Ninth Refinement Stage.
“Never mind. I can just find a few more good buddies to leverage off their fortuitous opportunities.”
Shen Tian possessed a lot of resources. It would be easy for him to use some to exchange for some fire-attribute precious items.
...
“I have been gone for so long. Everyone must be very worried! I better contact Master and the rest!”
Shen Tian took out his Saint Token. A dazzling light appeared, and the image of the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader formed in front of him.
“Master, I have already safely left the void turbulence and am currently on an island.”
Shen Tian reported to the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader that he was safe and sound.
“Good, very good!
“Tian’er, you are indeed the true Son of Providence. You were able to escape from the void turbulence safe and sound.”
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader’s heavenly aura rippled. He had already predicted this.
Many Sages had entered the void turbulence to search for Shen Tian, all to no avail. Nevertheless, the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader had not been worried at all. He knew that Shen Tian would be able to escape safely sooner or later. After all, Shen Tian was the Son of Providence with unsurpassable luck!
In the end, things did turn out as he had predicted.
“Tian’er, did you encounter any major fortuitous opportunity while you were inside the void turbulence?” asked the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader, his aura rippling more intensely.
“No...”
Shen Tian’s face darkened.
Not only did I not encounter any fortuitous opportunity, but I have been nearly squeezed dry too!
He had been taken advantage of!
I will never do that again the next time I am close to a breakthrough.
No fortuitous opportunity?
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader thought for a moment before speaking again. “Never mind. Tian’er, you have so much luck that there must be some major fortuitous opportunity waiting for you.
“Go and explore again. I will go through the void to fetch you back when you find some fortuitous opportunity.”
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader cut off their connection.
...
“Eh? Master?
“Hello? Hello? Hello? Can you hear me, Master?
“I am completely surrounded by miles and miles of ocean. How can there possibly be any fortuitous opportunity here!?”
Shen Tian was stunned.
If you want me to find some fortuitous opportunity, I need to have some good brothers and sisters with me first!
Without their providence, how am I supposed to find fortuitous opportunities?
Master, I am really not the Son of Providence!
All remained silent across the peaceful ocean.
Shen Tian felt very helpless.
Never mind. It is better to rely on myself than on others!
Shen Tian sighed. He felt very despondent at the thought that he had to fly back to the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground himself.
I must nourish myself properly when I return this time.
Yeap, I can brew Bai Di. That should be very nourishing.
Sigh...
My legs still feel a little weak!
Shen Tian dragged his weary body and daydreamed as he activated his golden wings and Kun Peng arts, morphing into a streak of golden light and flying toward the “south”.
...
Half a day later, Shen Tian came to a sudden halt.
The corners of his mouth twitched as he surveyed the endless ocean surrounding him.
I don’t really want to admit this, but... I think I might be lost again!
Yes, Shen Tian had no sense of direction.
He had originally been in North Sea’s outer region, but as he kept flying “south”, he was now in North Sea’s deep recesses. He was even farther from the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground now!
...
Roar!
Loud roars resounded.
Not far ahead was a chaotic scene with splashing water and an intense aura swirling over a wide area.
“Mmm? Is there a battle happening over there?”
Shen Tian felt relieved. Where there was a battle, there was also life.
Where there was life, there would be someone who knew the way.
With someone who knew the way, he could then leave this place.
Shen Tian flapped his golden wings and charged toward the battleground.
He arrived at the scene in the blink of an eye.
A few figures were fighting a short distance in front of him.
One of them was very big. It was a hundred feet tall and covered in sharp bone spikes like a dragonfish. Its aura was terrifying.
It was a fierce beast, and judging by its aura, it was already a peak Mighty Prowess beast.
This beast had bloodshot eyes and clearly had no spirituality. It was fighting with pure instinct.
Its opponent was a small, slender figure who was obviously human.
The human exuded an extremely sharp and harsh aura as if she was the embodiment of a heavenly sword. Her sword intent was terrifying.
Behind this figure was a small, fiery-red figure. She was covered in scarlet flames with a Phoenix avatar behind her. Her aura was also very formidable.
The two figures had joined forces to fend off that dragonfish-like beast. Their fearsome aura surged across the region, causing turbulent waves and howling winds.
“It’s them?”
Shen Tian’s eyes lit up.
Those two were familiar faces. It was Princess Linglong whom he had met half a month ago and her contract partner, the Immortal Phoenix Princess, Feng Wu!
Princess Linglong was fighting that fearsome beast now.
Roar!
The beast’s loud roars triggered massive waves.
Boundless ocean waves surged upward and morphed into ten tremendous water pillars. They started to crash down as if wanting to destroy the entire sea region.
This fierce Mighty Prowess beast was extremely powerful, and even a Soul Formation expert might not be able to win against it.
“Black Sky Sword!”
Princess Linglong issued a quiet command. Boundless sword aura erupted from her body, creating a brand new sword domain where tens of thousands of swords flew together.
The entire sky transformed in the blink of an eye.
Peerless sword aura surged into the air, stirring all the surrounding Spirit Qi.
Endless sword aura merged in space, forming a colossal sword.
This colossal sword then slashed at that fearsome beast.
At that moment, the fabrics of space started to tear!
