Battle Through the Heavens: Marry Cao Ying, Reward is Devouring Ancestral Symbol

Azure Scale Bone Refining WingsQing Lin raised her head and saw Shen Wen, who had approached without her noticing, watching her with a smile.

”Brother Shen Wen!” Qing Lin quickly tried to stand up.

Shen Wen waved his hand, then sat down naturally on the cushion beside her, his gaze falling onto the scroll.

”Although this ’Nine Heavens Wind Wings’ is only High-rank Profound Rank, once mastered, the speed is considered top-tier among those of the same rank, and its flexibility is excellent. It is perfectly suited for you right now.”

Qing Lin nodded vigorously, her small face filled with seriousness: ”Mhm! I’ve memorized everything, and I’ve gone over the energy circulation route several times. It should... it should be flawless.”

”If you are ready, it’s time to refine the Bone Wings into your body.”

”Okay.” Qing Lin nodded.

”However, we must first process these Bone Wings.”

Shen Wen’s storage ring flashed, and a pair of massive Bone Wings appeared on the ground before them.

The Bone Wings were jade-colored. Although they had been separated from their original body for countless years, they still emitted a heart-pounding pressure and vicious Qi.

Shen Wen’s gaze swept over the bone spurs and wing membranes, each as tough as fine steel.

”It is a good item, but the ’squatter’ inside must be evicted first.”

What he was referring to was the Remnant Thought of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix that stubbornly resided deep within the Bone Wings.

Such an ancient Vicious Beast, even if only a wisp of remnant Soul obsession remained, was definitely not something an ordinary Soul could contend with.

Especially since Qing Lin intended to refine it into her body.

Shen Wen no longer hesitated. He sat cross-legged in front of the Bone Wings, his eyes slightly closed.

At the center of his brows, a faint, dark light gradually lit up.

His immense Soul Power surged out like a breached dam, transforming into an invisible torrent that rushed straight toward the pair of stark white Bone Wings.

”Roar—!”

As soon as the Soul Power touched the Bone Wings, a wild and majestic screech seemed to explode directly in the depths of Shen Wen’s mind!

The scene before him changed abruptly. It was no longer the dark Stone Chamber, but a crimson world filled with raging flames.

A phantom, yet incredibly majestic, Giant Bird spectral image spread its fiery wings that seemed capable of blocking out the sun and moon. Its cold pupils locked onto Shen Wen, carrying a scorching storm capable of incinerating Souls, and lunged forward!

This was the manifestation of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix’s Remnant Thought!

The terrifying pressure was like mountains and seas, attempting to tear and incinerate Shen Wen’s Soul.

But Shen Wen’s expression remained unchanged; he merely let out a cold snort.

”A rootless Remnant Thought dares to act viciously?”

Before his voice faded, a point of ultimate darkness quietly emerged from the depths of his Soul Power.

That darkness was infinitely profound, seemingly capable of devouring even light. It was the power of the devouring ancestral talisman being activated!

Shen Wen’s Soul Power transformed into a bottomless Vortex, emitting infinite suction.

The spectral image of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix that had lunged forward crashed into the range of this Soul Vortex.

Its momentum instantly stalled. The energy at the edges of the spectral image began to peel away uncontrollably, turning into wisps of pure Soul Origin power, which were greedily swallowed by the dark Vortex.

The Heavenly Demon Phoenix spectral image let out a shriek filled with shock and fury. It instinctively felt terror, a trembling sensation as if it had encountered a natural predator.

It struggled frantically, beating its fiery wings to unleash a fiercer Soul storm, attempting to break free from this strange devouring power.

However, how could the power of the devouring ancestral talisman be resisted by a mere Remnant Thought?

Shen Wen’s mind was firm. He fully mobilized his Soul Power to cooperate with the might of the devouring ancestral talisman.

The dark Vortex expanded further, and its suction increased dramatically.

Like a giant whale drawing water, it forcibly dragged in the Heavenly Demon Phoenix spectral image, along with the vicious intent it emitted, shredding, crushing, and purifying it bit by bit, finally transforming it into the purest Soul nourishment.

He could clearly feel that with every portion of the Remnant Thought devoured, his Soul Power grew stronger. That slow yet solid sense of growth made his spirit increasingly invigorated.

Time passed slowly.

On the Bone Wings in the Stone Chamber, the unsettling jade luster and vicious pressure were fading at a visible speed.

The struggle in the illusory world was also nearing its end. The once arrogant Giant Bird spectral image was now faint as smoke, its size reduced by more than half, and even its shrieks had become weak.

”It’s over.”

Shen Wen silently recited this in his heart. His Soul Power suddenly retracted, immediately transforming into a final, more powerful impact, cooperating with the devouring ancestral talisman’s ultimate assimilation.

”Screech...”

A faint, unwilling wail sounded. The last trace of the spectral image formed by the Heavenly Demon Phoenix’s Remnant Thought was completely swallowed by the dark Vortex, vanishing without a trace.

Outside, the stark white Bone Wings lightly shook. The last trace of dark color on their surface faded, becoming crystal clear and warm, with no trace of violent aura emanating from them, as if they were merely two exquisite works of art.

Shen Wen slowly opened his eyes and exhaled a long breath of stale Qi. His eyes shone brightly, clearly indicating that his Soul Power had received considerable benefit after devouring the Heavenly Demon Phoenix’s Remnant Thought.

”Qing Lin.” He turned his head to look at the Young Girl who had been quietly waiting beside him.

Qing Lin immediately stepped forward, her small face filled with concern and anticipation: ”Brother Shen Wen, was it successful?”

”Mhm, the trouble inside has been cleaned up.”

”The rest is up to you. Follow the ’Nine Heavens Wind Wings’ method I taught you earlier, use these wings as a foundation, communicate with them, and refine them so they become a part of your body.”

”Yes, Brother Shen Wen!”

Qing Lin seriously agreed and walked to the Bone Wings to sit down. She first calmed her mind, then formed a series of mysterious and complex Hand Seals with her hands.

As the Hand Seals changed, a faint azure glow began to emanate from her body. The Yuan Power within her started to circulate slowly according to the specific route of the ”Nine Heavens Wind Wings.”

Gradually, the azure glow intensified, revealing an aura of lightness, swiftness, and harmony with the wind.

Qing Lin cautiously extended her Mind, through the circulating Cultivation Technique and the energy she emitted, toward the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Bone Wings before her.

At first, the Bone Wings showed no reaction.

Qing Lin was not discouraged. She maintained a stable output, gently enveloping the Bone Wings with her Mind, attempting to establish contact and sense the residual wind-attribute energy pathways within.

That was the innate talent imprint of soaring through the Nine Heavens within the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Bloodline. Even though the owner had passed away, it still remained within the wing bones.

Time flowed slowly.

At a certain moment, the crystal-clear Bone Wings suddenly lit up slightly. Inside, an azure-golden stream of light seemed to flash by rapidly.

At the same time, Qing Lin’s body trembled. She felt that the wind-attribute Yuan Power she emitted had generated an extremely faint resonance with some kind of pathway inside the Bone Wings!

”There’s a reaction!” Qing Lin was delighted in her heart. She quickly stabilized her Mind, daring not to relax in the slightest, and focused even more intensely on circulating the ”Nine Heavens Wind Wings,” guiding and strengthening that resonance bit by bit.

An invisible yet tangible connection was slowly being established and consolidated between her and the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Bone Wings.

Qing Lin sat cross-legged, her eyes tightly closed, her small face filled with concentration.

The pair of originally massive Heavenly Demon Phoenix Bone Wings had now shrunk to a size that fit her back. They were tightly pressed against her back, emitting a warm, jade luster.

Wisps of azure wind-attribute energy circulated out from Qing Lin’s body, like slender tentacles, slowly seeping into the Bone Wings.

The Bone Wings trembled slightly, emitting a low hum, as if responding to her communication.
