Chapter 469 Transformation into a Phoenix (Page 12)

Last time, we talked about how Hei Yuan suddenly broke through the seal and pierced You Tu with his black longsword, wounding Kong Qinglin. So how will the story unfold next? Let's find out together.

Li Yi supported You Tu's corpse, trying to lock his soul, but his three souls had already scattered, and even a god could not save him.

Kong Qinglin stood up, clutching his chest, and staggered to the two of them, saying, "He deliberately transferred his Heavenly Soul to me; he was clearly seeking death."

Li Yi sighed, "Alas, what's the point of all this?"

"Qinglin!" A furious roar suddenly echoed from within the magic array: "You must die today!"

The Chi You walking corpse, sealed by the electric current, suddenly exploded, shattering all the lightning-struck wood. The purple lightning stopped, and a ball of black gas continued to expand, eventually sinking into the charred remains—the very body of Hei Yuan! A ball of red flame slowly rose, and in the center of that flame was the crown feather of the First Phoenix!

"Not good!" Kong Qinglin exclaimed upon seeing this, "Third brother, could the Gu God be using the fire spirit within the Phoenix Crown Feather to...?"

Before he could finish speaking, black smoke condensed into a fleshy body around the Phoenix Crown Feather. The monster slowly spread its wings, nine black feathers stood up, and finally two heads grew out: one was a phoenix head with a red crown feather, and the other was the strange insect head of the grass pest.

Li Yi muttered to himself, "Could it be that the magic array destroyed the Azure Wood Seal, and together with the Phoenix Crown Feather, awakened the Phoenix bloodline of the Black Abyss? The Phoenix bloodline combined with the will of the Demon God, this is going to be troublesome."

On the other side, Hei Feng stared at Kong Qinglin and said fiercely, "Qinglin, you must die!" After saying that, he was about to fly over, but he only took one step forward and fell down.

Cao Hai said, "It was I who helped you awaken your phoenix bloodline, and it was I who helped you reshape your physical body. In return, I must temporarily share a body with you!"

The black phoenix pecked at the weeds, saying as it pecked, "Get out of my body!"

"You're completely useless right now! But I happen to need to kill him anyway. If you agree to let me coexist with you for a while, I can help you."

"I don't need your help, I want to kill him myself!"

"Then go ahead and try killing them!"

Black Phoenix turned to look at Kong Qinglin, then opened its mouth and spewed out a pillar of fire. Upon seeing this, Li Yi immediately used his Words of Power to teleport Kong Qinglin behind him, while Black Phoenix also turned its head and spewed the pillar of fire at Li Yi.

"Karmic Fire Red Lotus!" Li Yi shouted, chanting the six-syllable mantra. He then unfurled a red lotus seal beneath his feet, using Buddhist teachings to resist the flames.

Cao Hai laughed, "How about that? I told you you couldn't kill him!"

Black Phoenix suddenly turned its head and sprayed flames at Grass Harvest, instantly burning Grass Harvest's monstrous head to ashes. Then it used the flames to burn the wound, dislocating the skull and transforming it into a true black phoenix.

However, Cao Hai did not give up. He said to Hei Yuan, "It seems you still don't believe me. That kid has few rivals among the second-rank cultivators, and he has deliberately held back his strength. Then try again and see if you can kill Kong Qinglin in front of that kid."

"Now that I've awakened the Phoenix Bloodline, I'm a top-tier existence among the second-rank! I must avenge this! Unlike you, I don't care about so much! Anyone who dares to stop me, I'll kill them all!"

"Hehehe, then go ahead and try killing them!"

"Just don't get in my way!"

After Hei Yuan finished speaking with Cao Hai, his figure slowly shrank and transformed into a demon form. Apart from the wisp of red hair on his head, the fire pattern mark on his forehead, and the black phoenix robe on his body, he was not much different from the original. He said coldly, "I told you, if you dare to stop me again, I will not be polite to you."

Li Yi said helplessly, "The most disgusting thing still happened. Hei Yuan, Cao Hai wants to help you transform into a phoenix and then take over your immortal body. Don't be fooled by him!"

Hei Yuan casually grabbed a black halberd and pointed it at Li Yi, saying fiercely, "I'm telling you this one last time, get out of my way, or I'll kill you too!"

Li Yi stepped aside and said, "I can let you kill him, but on one condition: after you take your revenge, you have to let me kill you, since the Gu God is still inside you."

Hei Yuan looked at Li Yi calmly and said, "Okay!"

"Holy crap, you just agreed like that? Aren't you going to reconsider?"

Hei Yuan strode forward with his halberd, and Li Yi immediately stepped forward to stop him.

"What, you want to back out?"

"It's not that I want to go back on my word, but this concerns your life or death. You agreed so readily, but I'm not sure what's going on. I feel like you're playing tricks on me."

"Hmph, we demons aren't as cunning as you humans! Get out of the way!"

Hei Yuan pushed Li Yi aside and continued walking towards Kong Qinglin, who chuckled, "Third brother, is this the side effect you mentioned? A karmic tribulation, right? Looks like I was ignorant. Hei Yuan, come on!"

"Hmph, do you think I'll let you go!" Hei Yuan raised his halberd and thrust it forward, but Li Yi stopped him again.

Cao Hai laughed and said, "I told you, he won't let you get revenge."

Hei Yuan exerted his strength and threw Li Yi away, while the latter, along with Kong Qinglin, leaped to a distance.

"It seems you're deliberately trying to stop me!"

"No, no, no, I really don't want to stop you, but I'm still worried about you. How about this, you let me kill you first, and then I'll help you kill him, okay?"

Cao Hai laughed and said, "Haven't you realized he's playing a trick on you?"

"I must avenge this myself! If you try to stop me again, I'll kill you first!"

"Since the negotiations have failed, there's nothing we can do but rely on our own abilities!" After saying this, Li Yi sheathed his Five Elemental Wood Sword, drew his Measuring Ruler which transformed into a spear, and assumed a fighting stance.

Just then, Uya's voice suddenly rang out: "Stop!"

Hei Yuan turned to look at the panting Uya and calmly said, "It's dangerous here. What are you doing here?"

"I'm here to save you!"

"Save me? Hmph, you must have some misunderstanding! You did take care of me before, but I also stayed with you for a month. For a lowly human like you, that's already the greatest favor. As for that child, you were never worthy of carrying my bloodline. Let him go! War is about to break out here, so don't get in my way."

"Hei Yuan, what are you saying!"

"I told you to get lost!"

Kong Qinglin and Li Yi both shook their heads and said, "Beast!"

Hei Yuan turned around and glared at the two of them.

Li Yi immediately smiled apologetically and said, "It's alright, just pretend we're not here. You can continue! We can make our move after you're done."

Hei Yuan walked up to Wu Ya, grabbed her by the neck, lifted her up, and said fiercely, "Didn't you hear me? I told you to get lost!"

"I won't leave, I'm here to save you! If you lay a hand on me, you'll surely die!"

"I'm no longer that weak black peacock. Didn't you see that I've awakened my phoenix bloodline and transformed into a phoenix? Dealing with them is more than enough!"

"Cao Hai is only using the residual spiritual power on the Phoenix Crown Feather to help you awaken your bloodline, but that little bit of spiritual power is not enough for you to transform into a phoenix! Cao Hai is lying to you! Without a physical body, you can't do anything. He just wants to possess your body to escape this calamity!"

"What do you know, you mere human! Once our demon bloodline awakens, it will never disappear!"

"After your bloodline awakened, did you acquire any innate abilities? Did you learn the Phoenix Clan's innate ability, the Fire Spirit Seal?"

Hei Yuan then realized the problem. Although he had awakened his bloodline, he had not gained any new innate abilities. He immediately asked, "How do you know all this?"

Uya took out a cassia branch from the tie-dye bag and said, "The Old Man of the Moon told me that as long as you sincerely repent, you can become a peacock."

"Peacock! Now that I have awakened the Phoenix bloodline, why should I still bear his curse mark! If it weren't for him, the Black Peacock clan wouldn't have been slaughtered! In the end, this debt should be settled with him!"

At this very moment, Cao Hai is constantly manipulating Hei Yuan's emotional fluctuations, which is the foundation of the Love Poisoning Technique.

"That's right, the Black Peacock should be the rightful heir of the Peacock Clan, and only you, who have awakened the bloodline of the First Phoenix, are worthy of that throne! As long as you are willing to join forces with me, we can not only kill Kong Qinglin, but also seek revenge on the Old Man of the Moon! I not only know his background, but I am also an old tree demon from the Taiyin Star, and I have a way to uproot him!"

Whether it's the Matchmaker, the Heavenly Dao, or even Tai'an, they all have their weaknesses! We can defeat them, establish new laws, and change this world! So, how about joining forces with me?

"Establish new rules? Change the world?"

"Yes! Create a world with only Zerg and Winged Races!"

"The Zerg and the Feathered?"

"That's right! If there were no insectoids, what would the winged race eat?"

"Would you allow the Feathered Race to feed on the Insect Race?"

"The number of insectoids is enormous. If left unchecked, they will overrun the population and disrupt the balance. The winged race feeds on insects, which is perfect for keeping them in check. Therefore, it is the best choice for us to join forces!"

"Let's first become the masters of this world. I'll help you seize the true fire of the sun, and then, with the power of faith, become righteous gods of heaven and earth. At that time, we'll first slay the Old Man of the Moon, and then plot against the Heavenly Dao!"

"The sun is really hot?"

"Yes, the power of the Phoenix Godhood Fire Spirit Seal comes from the True Fire of the Sun, which is the source of all fires in this world! Seizing the True Fire of the Sun means restoring the Godhood of Fire, and then we can control all the fire spirits in this world!"

"At that time, burning the heavens and scorching the earth will be a matter of a single thought for you and me. We'll use this as leverage to prevent the Heavenly Dao and Tai'an from interfering, then we'll draw the true fire of the sun to burn that old tree demon to death, and your great revenge will be avenged!"

Just as the Black Abyss was about to waver, Li Yi's voice suddenly rang out: "Don't listen to this guy's nonsense! He's weak right now and just wants to use your body to run away. The first thing he'll do once he recovers is to take over your body."

Grassy exclaimed in surprise, "How could you enter our realm of will?"

"How can I explain this to you? Do you know what brainwaves are? What you call the domain of will is the brainwave band that you share with the Abyss. Once I find this band, I can join your conversation."

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

"I knew you wouldn't understand, so I came to chat with you a little longer and analyze your respective frequency bands, otherwise how can I separate you?"

"Black Abyss, he's just here to cause trouble! Let's kill him quickly, and we'll deal with the rest later!"

Li Yi's sudden appearance brought Hei Yuan back to his senses, as he used his righteous energy to dispel the Gu God's Love Gu spell. Hei Yuan muttered repeatedly about the True Fire of the Sun, then slowly left the group chat. "Left" wasn't quite right; it should be "closed," because the sound of the grass was getting quieter and quieter, indicating that Hei Yuan had his own ideas.

In reality, Hei Yuan flung Wu Ya toward Li Yi, who caught her, while he himself slowly rose into the air, gazing at the dazzling sun.

Uya cried out, "Black Abyss, stop being so stubborn!"

Li Yi shielded her behind him and said helplessly, "It seems he has already made his choice. This battle is unavoidable." Wu Ya was about to speak when Li Yi interrupted her with his hand, "I gave you a chance, and I also told you that I don't want you to beg me to let him go." After saying that, he activated his Qi Observation Technique and looked at Hei Yuan.

Then, Hei Yuan revealed his true form, bathed in sunlight. His feathers reflected different metallic lusters, a vibrant, iridescent black. Suddenly, flames erupted around him, leaving unique fire-like markings on his feathers.

Kong Qinglin looked at Hei Yuan in surprise and said, "This is the True Fire of the Sun? He's comprehending the True Fire of the Sun!"

Uya asked, "What is that?"
