Alchemy Emperor of the Divine Dao

Chapter 4369  Remnant Soul of the True Phoenix

ʼIʼve returned?ʼ

Who was this ”I”?

At the entrance of the palace, a shadow walked out.

This was the True Phoenix!

Everyone could clearly see that this was a phoenix. It was indescribably gorgeous, but this phoenixʼs body was almost transparent, and completely did not seem like a real entity.

”This isnʼt the True Phoenix, but the remnant soul of the True Phoenix!”

The Imperial Son Ze said darkly. As expected of the Golden Generation. Even at this moment, he still maintained a considerable amount of composure.

Ling Han also had the same feeling. This was definitely not the Divine Beast, True Phoenix, that had commanded the whole world in the ancient times. That was too unrealistic. Furthermore, it was definitely not a complete soul. When the Great Emperor died, the soul would be assimilated by the heaven and earth. This was inevitable.

However, the Great Emperorʼs methods were extraordinary. It was still very possible that he had retained behind a tiny bit of his remnant soul.

Even so, this was still extremely terrifying.

The True Phoenix actually left behind a remnant soul, and the fluctuation exuding from it was as strong as Saint Tier!

Everyone was speechless. They still wanted the inheritance of the True Phoenix?

The True Phoenix hadnʼt died at all, so how could anyone obtain it?

”After slumbering for so long, Iʼve finally waited until today!” The True Phoenixʼs remnant soul stared directly at the little red bird.

Yi?

”Come!” The True Phoenixʼs remnant soul flapped its phoenix wings, and the little red bird flew out uncontrollably.

Ling Han wanted to make a move, but he had just taken a step, when he felt a terrifying aura pressing down on him, causing him to throw up a mouthful of blood. It was indescribably painful, and he was completely unable to make another move.

”Save me!” the little red bird screamed. No matter how it thought about it, this was not a good thing.

”You bear my will, and you are my manifestation. What do you have to fear?” the True Phoenixʼs remnant soul said. With a xiu, he turned into a streak of light that shot towards the little red bird.

Like a clay ox sinking into water, this soul immediately sank into the little red birdʼs body.

Seeing this, how could everyone not understand?

It was unknown what method that True Phoenix from the ancient times had used, but there was actually a remnant soul that had not died. It had slumbered in this True Phoenix Palace for countless years, and only awoke at this moment.

And he had spent so many years with only one purpose, and that was to find a body that could bear his soul.

The little red bird was a descendant of the Vermillion Bird and possessed the bloodline of a Divine Beast. Moreover, it was also a bird and a fire-element beast, so it was naturally the best container.

No wonder when the little red bird arrived, the nine palaces immediately opened up without any effort.

This was practically a trap!

It was at this moment that Ling Hanʼs thoughts drifted for a moment.

Why did the Genesis World also have True Dragons and True Phoenixes?

Judging by the current situation, the Genesis World was like a miniature version of this great world, but the problem was, why would so many races appear in the Genesis World?

Unknowingly, could it be that there was a force controlling and influencing it?

Looking at the appearances of the Four-Legged Snake, the little red bird, and the True Phoenixʼs remnant soul, they were all the same as the Dragons, Vermillion Birds, and Phoenixes that corresponded in the Genesis World. What was going on here?

Ling Han was certain that the Genesis World was definitely not a Mystery Realm like the lair of the True Phoenix. Instead, it was a real world with its own independent and complete Regulations of heaven and earth. However, in terms of level, the Genesis Worldʼs Regulations were much, much lower.

After letting his thoughts drift for a while, Ling Han hurriedly came back to his senses. Was this the time to think about these things?

However, the remnant soul of the True Phoenix had returned after countless years, and its power was as high as Saint Tier. Was this something that Ling Han could stand against?

No matter how he thought about it, this was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

What could he do? What could he do?

Ling Han frowned deeply. Although the little red bird had a toxic tongue and always complained that it wanted to run when there was trouble, since it had joined his team, it was one of them.

—He had never watched his own people suffer!

If the True Phoenix entered the body, then it would definitely be the True Phoenixʼs remnant soul taking the initiative. The little red birdʼs soul would definitely be destroyed. Thus, the little red bird was equivalent to dead, and all that was left was her body.

Weng!

Right at this moment, a sudden change took place.

Ling Han felt as if the Firebird Staff in his hand was actually glowing. Its whole body was blazingly bright. Xiu, then it shot up into the skies on its own.

Not only that, but the Spatial Spirit Tool also shattered on its own. The bead of unknown origin also floated up, and fled with the Firebird Staff.

Yi?

In the area where the eight senior elders were, the other eight Firebird Staffs were no longer under their control, and floated into the air.

Then, the nine Firebird Staffs were all gathered, and actually fused into one. That mysterious bead was also embedded, and fused into a completely new staff. However, unlike its original blazing red colour, this staff was now completely dark blue in colour, exuding a warm and cool feeling.

”True Phoenix, I submitted to you as my master, and followed you everywhere you go. However, when you arrived, you mercilessly killed your nine brothers for the sake of your own reincarnation!” A shadowy figure walked out of the staff. This was a human figure. Although he was also a remnant soul, he could be seen clearly. His arms were bare, and there were flame-shaped tattoos on his arms.

”Ancestor!” Seeing this figure, the eight senior elders and the Flame Skin Race were all excited. This was their ancestor, and he had always been worshipped in the Flame Skin Palace. Who hadnʼt seen him before?

But who would have thought that this ancestor was actually still alive!

Just listen to him. At that time, it seemed like the nine Great Generals had been personally killed by the True Phoenix. Meanwhile, the Flame Skin Raceʼs ancestor had had a backup plan. He had actually left behind a remnant soul that was revived today.

Ling Han gritted his teeth. Just how many years had this enmity spanned?

The remnant soul of the Flame Skin Raceʼs ancestor gripped the staff and pounced at the little red bird. The top of the staff glowed, and a Saint-level aura surged.

This was a Saint Tool!

If the True Phoenix was at its prime, it naturally wouldnʼt need to worry about this at all. A single breath from the Great Emperor would be enough to kill a Saint a few times over. Now, however, the True Phoenix was only left with a wisp of its soul. Moreover, it was at the most critical moment of fusing with the little red bird!

The timing that the Flame Skin Raceʼs ancestor chose to attack could be considered just right.

The little red bird flapped its wings and shot out a ray of light that transformed into countless divine patterns. Peng! The staff was instantly sent flying, and the remnant soul of the Flame Skin Raceʼs ancestor also swayed like a candle in the wind.

After all, he had only been a Saint in his prime, and now he was only left with a remnant soul. How much might could he still have left?

However, the ancestor of the Flame Skin Race laughed loudly, and said, ”True Phoenix, oh, True Phoenix, you didnʼt expect this, did you? Youʼve schemed for millions and millions of years, yet all your efforts have come to nothing. Your heart must be filled with bitterness, right? Thatʼs right, I want you to have a taste of despair and betrayal!”

”Sigh!” With a soft sigh, the remnant soul of the True Phoenix floated out of the little red birdʼs body. It had clearly become slightly more transparent. He looked at the Flame Skin Raceʼs ancestor, and shook his head. ”Old friend, youʼve misunderstood me.”

”Misunderstanding?” The ancestor of the Flame Skin Race sneered, and said, ”Could it be that when I personally witnessed you killing the nine of us, that was a misunderstanding? Fortunately, I had a premonition and made preparations in advance. Otherwise, I would truly be dying with a grudge and wouldnʼt have gotten my revenge today.”

The True Phoenixʼs remnant soul threw its head back and roared with laughter. ”Heavens, heavens, I wanted to create the Rising From The Ashes Technique to live a second life. However, I was rendered divine punishment, and suffered a fatal dao injury. Before I died, I made arrangements for the overall situation, hoping to find someone with a bloodline connection in this world to inherit my will and start a new life.”

”Who wouldʼve thought? Itʼs all for naught!”
