Chapter 584: Chapter 583: Su Fei’s Terrifying Opportunity (Part 4)

Soon, the two of them entered the cave, and the path was clear all the way until they reached the deepest part, where they encountered a sea of fire—this was the Phoenix Fire. Above the sea of fire, an extremely terrifying phoenix appeared, measuring over a dozen meters in size.

”This is the Ancestor, the Phoenix Clan Ancestor. The Ancestor isn’t dead,” Su Fei said in shock upon seeing the Phoenix Ancestor.

”The Phoenix Ancestor?” Mu Chen frowned deeply, and his expression turned extremely solemn.

However, when the Phoenix turned its head, the two of them were shocked to see that the Ancestor was engulfed in a black energy, and its eyes had turned black.

”This is the Ancestor on the verge of Demonic Transformation,” Mu Chen said with a changed expression and a hint of gravity.

”What’s going on?” Su Fei asked urgently.

”Your Ancestor is transforming into a Demon. I suspect the reason why this forbidden area exists is to control her.”

”But the Ancestor becoming a Demon, that’s impossible!” Su Fei exclaimed in shock, finding it unbelievable.

”Nothing is impossible. If the Phoenix Ancestor fought against someone in the past and was implanted with a Demon Seed, she might transform into a Demon. Or, if during a breakthrough in her cultivation she failed and her demonic nature surged forth, these could all lead to her becoming a Demon,” Mu Chen explained seriously.

”This...” Su Fei was shocked, feeling as if it really could be the case.

”Ha-ha-ha, daring to invade my territory, you’re seeking death.” The Phoenix Ancestor shouted furiously, ready to attack Mu Chen.

But just as the Phoenix Ancestor was about to move, the sea of fire shifted, and four massive pillars of fire surged up. In an instant, chains of flame immediately locked onto the Phoenix Ancestor, immobilizing her.

”Quick, leave this place! I’m about to undergo Demonic Transformation, to be controlled by the Demon. Leave quickly, or you will die,” the Phoenix Ancestor shouted with a trace of fire returning to her eyes.

”Ancestor!” Su Fei cried out.

”Phoenix Elder, you’ve set up a trap, we can’t leave at all.”

”Use the Phoenix Essence Blood and drop it onto the energy layer, and then you can leave,” the Phoenix Ancestor shouted.

”Essence Blood?” Mu Chen’s head throbbed, Su Fei’s Bloodline had been devoured by his Divine Dragon Body, leaving no trace, and Su Fei no longer had Essence Blood. This was really problematic.

”Aren’t you people of the Phoenix Clan?”

”Ancestor, I am, with a Phoenix Body, but my Bloodline is lost. This man is my partner, he doesn’t have the Phoenix Bloodline.”

”Phoenix Body, you have the Phoenix Body?” The Phoenix Ancestor was taken aback with surprise and disbelief.

”Yes, Ancestor.”

”Ha-ha-ha, the heavens have not forsaken our Phoenix Clan, have not forsaken our Phoenix Clan. Next, I will pass on my wisdom to you, the Phoenix Body can fully withstand my Bloodline Power,” the Phoenix Ancestor said earnestly.

”Ancestor, passing on your wisdom, you will die, we cannot allow it, we will surely find a way to save you,” Su Fei immediately refused.

”If you could have come earlier, there might have been a way, but it’s too late now. The demonic nature has already invaded most of my power, there’s no other way.” The Phoenix Ancestor spoke solemnly, and also with a sense of relief that Su Fei still had such sentiments.

”Elder, I’m puzzled. How could someone as powerful as you succumb to demonic transformation?”

”When the Divine Dragon waged war against the God Demons, I was poisoned with demon poison. We are of the Phoenix Clan; the Phoenix is capable of destroying heavens and earth, immune to all poisons. I thought nothing of it at first, but the poison slowly invaded me. Furthermore, my forced attempt at a breakthrough failure led to a full outbreak. To avoid causing worry, I hid here, in solitary cultivation, hoping to rid myself of the demon poison. Sadly, nothing changed.”

”Why didn’t you seek help from others?” Mu Chen asked, puzzled.

”Even the Phoenix couldn’t resist. Who else in the world could possibly remove it?” the Phoenix elder sighed.

”This...” Mu Chen was stunned, realizing the truth in the Phoenix elder’s words.

”Young man, let me tell you lastly, when the Demon King was sealed, he condensed three drops of essence blood mixed with demon poison. One drop was given to me, and it’s unknown who received the other two. You must be careful. Not everyone is as foolish as I am to resist the demon poison or to choose suicide,” the Phoenix elder said lightly.

”This...” Mu Chen’s head spun, surprised by the Demon Clan’s remaining move.

No one wants to die, even if it means transforming into a demon. Some are willing to pay any price. Death is too frightening for Mu Chen to ignore the possibility that other two as powerful as the Phoenix elder have already succumbed to demon transformation.

”Come over quickly. I’m afraid the longer we wait, the harder it will be to control,” the Phoenix elder called out loudly.

”Okay.” Mu Chen, bringing Su Fei with him, blinked and appeared before the Phoenix elder and entered.

The Phoenix elder didn’t think twice and immediately transformed into a woman. As soon as the transformation was complete, Mu Chen was astounded by her beauty; the Moon God would pale in her presence.

”It starts now.” The Phoenix elder, aware of her dwindling lifespan, quickly formed a Seal and executed a secret technique for imparting profound knowledge.

Suddenly, the Phoenix elder’s Bloodline Power, Realm, everything, frantically flowed into Su Fei’s body. Almost instantly, Su Fei’s aura rocketed upwards—Saint, Holy King, First Layer Heaven, all the way to the Ninth Layer Heaven. She also inherited the Phoenix elder’s bloodline. Combined with her own Phoenix Body, her power became unimaginable.

”Fortune comes out of disaster!” Mu Chen marveled at the side, shocked at the incredible opportunity before them.

However, after transferring all her power to Su Fei, the Phoenix elder began to suffer from the invasion of black Qi; she was on the brink of demonic transformation and rapidly aging, her life force fading.

”Elder!” Su Fei immediately embraced the Phoenix elder, her face drastically changing as she spoke.

”I was supposed to die anyway. I’ve lived for so many years. If I didn’t break through that Realm, I wouldn’t live for even a few more centuries. Birth, aging, sickness, and death are the natural order of life,” the Phoenix elder earnestly said.

”Elder, I don’t want you to die,” cried Su Fei, pleading.

”I’ll give it my all,” Mu Chen said as the Golden Needle appeared. His energy soared as he executed the thirteenth Needle Technique, the Life Extension Needle, which could only be performed at the Saint Realm.

The Life Extension Needle, a horrifying Needle Technique deployed at the expense of one’s energy and lifespan, can extend life. However, the time it can extend depends entirely on one’s fate.

Suddenly, a needle plunged in, and the Phoenix elder’s vitality was restored. Her beauty slowly returned to the state of breathtaking allure.

Mu Chen acted simply. If someone has done him a favor, or it’s about someone he cared for, he would go all out to assist them, pouring in all his power.

”You crazy kid, what are you doing? Why would you let me live? I’m about to turn into a demon, the consequences are unimaginable,” the Phoenix elder berated.

”Demonic Qi is poison to others but nutrition to me,” Mu Chen replied. A surge of suction force emerged as he began to absorb the Demonic Qi.
