Eternal Life: My Lifespan Increases Daily

Chapter 926: Chapter 570: The Celestial Phoenix Emerges, Ancient Blood Demon Kings Clash! (Double Chapter)

In various regions of Yan Province, pairs of ancient eyes that have been slumbering for hundreds to thousands of years suddenly opened at this moment.

”It’s the Celestial Phoenix Divine Fire...”

”After all these years, how can the long-extinct Celestial Phoenix appear again?”

”The mandates of heaven are truly unfathomable. What does the reappearance of the Ancient Divine Beast’s bloodline signify...”

”This fire shall belong to me!”

”...”

As the clouds from various directions move, powerful figures emerge from the ancient earth at this moment.

Some rose from the soil, some emerged from the mountains, and others descended from tens of thousands of meters in the atmosphere.

Even if they reveal only a scale or a claw, it’s enough to make the great fiery demons across the regions fear, either bowing and prostrating or fleeing far away, not daring to provoke these Great Demon Kings with Ancient Bloodline!

”What is happening?!” Ji Yao flew halfway in the high sky, feeling a shiver throughout her body, perceiving the terrifying aura appearing from all directions in Yan Province.

Exaggerated fire phases painted the sky in brilliant colors, and an invisible energy field swept through.

Ji Yao felt as if her own mysterious fire might lose control and leave her body under the collision of this energy field.

She hurriedly restrained her heart and spirit, stabilizing her Tao Practice of Mysterious Fire within her body, no longer daring to gaze upon those powerful and ancient beings!

”Go!”

Her heart grew increasingly chaotic, and Ji Yao could no longer worry about anything else, only wanting to quickly escape this troublesome place.

She vaguely sensed that these slumbering Great Demon Kings were awakened because of the hawk and that Fire Melt Cave!

Under heaven, only the Celestial Phoenix legacy carrying the Nirvana Divine Fire could disturb these Great Demon Kings.

”Hmph, let them all perish!” Ji Yao moved away while gloating.

She had been displeased with the hawk for a long time, or perhaps purely out of jealousy.

Both from the Bird Race, the hawk’s path of transformation seemed too smooth; the numerous fortunes obtained made her envious, especially that Celestial Phoenix fortune which once drove her mad with jealousy.

Clearly, she, being of the Fire Attribute, was more compatible with the Celestial Phoenix fortune than the hawk, so why did the hawk receive this fortune and not her?

Now, it’s just a deserved fate!

And that Human Race, helping the hawk, should also die!

Thinking this way, Ji Yao’s face unconsciously grew a shadowy smile, yet the next moment her smile stiffened.

A pitch-black fire as dark as ink swept in, giving her no chance to react; the black flames completely swallowed her.

In a scream of terror, Ji Yao saw an enormous, sinister mouth appear in the black flames, biting half of her demon body.

”No!”

Amidst the tragic wails, the firebird with only half a demon body fell from the sky, like a stream of black fire, powerlessly crashing onto the ground.

Above the high heavens, the massive mouth engulfed Ji Yao’s flesh, only then revealing other parts.

This was a black dog, hundreds of meters long, its mouth full of blood; its fierce eyes were fixated on the firebird Ji Yao below.

”E-E Dou...” Ji Yao was covered in blood, looking at the giant black dog, only left with despair.

If it were any other Great Demon King, she might still plead for mercy, hoping for a chance of survival.

But this was E Dou!

The terrifying Fire Monster representing Disaster Fire, known for its ferocity!

Once targeted by it, there’s practically no hope of survival; she was destined to be food for it.

”Awoke from three hundred years of slumber, hungry and unbearable, just endure and let me eat you.” The black dog spoke in a rough voice as it stepped closer to Ji Yao.

”W-wait, Lord E Dou, you’re looking for the Celestial Phoenix remains, I-I can guide you and tell you everything I know...” Ji Yao’s voice trembled, unable to conceal her fear.

E Dou extended its red tongue to lick its bloodied mouth, then without a word, swallowed the remaining half of Ji Yao’s demon body.

”I never needed help from food.” E Dou smacked its lips disdainfully.

As for the Celestial Phoenix’s aura, it would investigate it on its own.

Elsewhere, four or five palm-sized fire rats emerged from underground, merging into a slightly larger fire rat.

”Only these escaped; damn human brat...” the Fire Rat Great Demon clenched its teeth.

Though it survived under Song Changming’s hand, its Primordial Qi was gravely injured, rendering it impossible to compete for the Celestial Phoenix remains.

This heaven-sent fortune was completely lost to it.

The Fire Rat Great Demon snorted coldly, then fixated its gaze on other locations.

It also perceived the great tremor in Yan Province; Great Demon Kings from all directions were disturbed by the Celestial Phoenix’s aura, naturally saving it the effort of sharing the news.

Those Great Demon Kings would also not let the Human Race youth have an easy time for the Celestial Phoenix Divine Fire.

A soaring, flame-coated divine bird flew overhead, leaving a vast trail of golden light.

The terrifying presence of the Divine Bird descended, startling the Fire Rat Great Demon below, who quickly dug into the ground, not daring to show itself.

Elsewhere.

”Immortal Song, this is...” Tong Zhige looked at the soaring golden flame pillar and the burning Fire Melt Cave, murmuring.

Xin Yan’s gaze fell at the source of the flame pillar, on a golden fire egg resting on a Spirit Pool of lava.

All the aura, energy fluctuations, and this soaring golden fire originated from this fire egg!

”What is this? And what was that phoenix song just now?!” Xin Yan felt inexplicably shaken to her core.

Song Changming was too preoccupied to explain much; he noticed cracks starting to appear on the fire egg, even sensing a faint Little Phoenix aura inside.

Clearly, the Little Phoenix was about to awaken!

”Brother Tong, Miss Xin, this place is likely to attract numerous powerful demons soon. For safety, it’s best for you two to head to the Nine Netherworld in this direction.” Song Changming advised seriously.

”What about you, Immortal Song?” Tong Zhige saw that Song Changming seemed intent on staying, and asked.

”This is my bird, I naturally must protect it.” Song Changming replied casually.

”You two should hurry.” Song Changming also sensed some terrifying aura approaching, urging them on.

Tong Zhige frowned, wishing to say something, unwilling to leave and abandon Song Changming.

Meanwhile, Xin Yan pulled him.

”Don’t stay and become a burden.”

Though Song Changming didn’t state it explicitly, Xin Yan realized the following events were beyond their involvement.

Staying wouldn’t help Song Changming.

Tong Zhige reluctantly followed.

This place wasn’t far from the nearby Nine Netherworld, and in no time, the two departed the scorching Yan Province region, entering a cold land.

Compared to Yan Province, the Nine Netherworld was almost void of danger.

The demons remaining here were scarce, the largest force being the Undead corpse Legion from An Province!

The scarcity of demons in Nine Netherworld was mainly due to being killed by this legion!

Furthermore, the Undead corpse Legion generally remained uninvolved with the Human Race, having little interaction.

”Thought I could ride under heaven with this knife in hand, carving a name for myself, even if not matching Immortal Song’s renown, but at least...”

Tong Zhige looked back towards Yan Province direction, sighing heavily, feeling ashamed and remorseful.

Past ambitions were now replaced with self-awareness; faced with that scenario, he could only flee without drawing his blade, unable to even assist Song Changming.

Such inability...

In contrast, Xin Yan remained calm.

She understood it wasn’t that she and Tong Zhige were too weak, but that they inadvertently entered a top-tier battlefield!

Other than Song Changming, few can rival those Great Demon Kings from the Demon Realm.

That they couldn’t assist now was normal.

But she believed she could in the future!
