âI am Huang Jinghuang!â
An indifferent voice containing a domineering aura sounded.
The moment she heard that name, Huang Yuyiâs expression immediately turned into disbelief. âHuang Jinghuang! Is that really you?!â
Huang Jinghuang was a sky-pride that possessed unparalleled talent. Notable for being one of the Godly Phoenixes who was almost on par with the Phoenix Forefather, records of her feats and achievements could be found in the Phoenixâs Nest scriptures.
âWhy? Why have you given your inheritance to a wild Godly Phoenix who isnât from the Phoenixâs Nest?!â
Huang Yuyi questioned, âIâm clearly the best candidate to receive your inheritance, so why have you chosen her instead?!â
âSimple. Itâs because she passed my trial. Besides, as a young generation cultivator of the Phoenixâs Nest, do you think you have the right to question my decision?!â
The tone of Huang Jinghuangâs voice became more apathetic.
Despite being only a strand of Immortal Consciousness, her terrifying aura could still bring about an uncontrollable sense of submission in Huang Yuyiâs bloodline.
It was just too powerful, and that was the power of an Embodier Godly Phoenix!
Even with the aura of one strand of his Immortal Consciousness, Huang Yuyi still could not handle it.
âBecause youâre a younger generation sky-pride from the Phoenixâs Nest, I shall temporarily overlook your insolence. Now, leave,â Huang Jinghuang said indifferently.
Huang Yuyi looked conflicted, and there was a sense of unwillingness in her eyes.
However, because Huang Jinghuangâs Immortal Consciousness was here, she could not do anything to Chu Hong but leave. Still, she did not leave far from the place.
âHuang Jinghuang might be powerful, but thatâs only her Immortal Consciousness. How long can she possibly retain that form?â
âOnce that Godly Phoenix obtains her inheritance, that Immortal Consciousness will surely dissipate. When that time comes, Iâll go and snatch it from her. What can you do about it, huh, Huang Jinghuang?!â Huang Yuyi thought.
She was arrogant and domineering by nature. Whatever she had her eyes on, she must get it at all costs!
Within the Phoenix Flames, Huang Jinghuangâs Immortal Consciousness sighed.
âA wild Godly Phoenix whoâs not from the Phoenixâs Nest, huh? Oh well, sheâs still a Godly Phoenix anyway.â
She did not regret giving her inheritance to Chu Hong.
Besides, she sensed a vague karmic effect inside Chu Hong, and that karmic effect might perhaps lead to a tremendous impact on the Phoenixâs Nest in the future.
That was one of the reasons she chose to give Chu Hong her inheritance.
âIt seems like the young one from the Phoenixâs Nest will not give up that easily. My Immortal Consciousness canât keep you safe for long, so youâll have to keep an eye out for yourself once weâre done here,â Huang Jinghuang murmured.
After Huang Yuyi left, the sky-prides that sensed the Godly Phoenixâs inheritance from outer space soon arrived one after another.
A few Prodigies were among them as well.
âThat Godly Phoenix isnât a Prodigy from the Phoenixâs Nest. Has a new Prodigy appeared from their ranks?â the Immortal Hallâs Holy Violet Imperial Commander said with a frown.
âSheâs not a Prodigy from the Phoenixâs Nest,â Huang Yuyi said coldly while looking at Chu Hong with a hint of jealousy in her eyes.
Huang Jinghuang was one of the most powerful Godly Phoenixes in the history of the Phoenixâs Nest. It would be a dream come true for all Godly Phoenix sky-prides to receive her inheritance.
However, she did not even have an opportunity to receive it. In fact, the opportunity had now presented itself to a wild Godly Phoenix instead.
That made Huang Yuyi jealous and angry.
âOh, a sky-pride whoâs not from the Phoenixâs Nest, huh? Interesting.â
A young man in white robes chuckled.
A Heavenly Dao aura was faintly emanating around him. That man was Heavenly Daoist Huang, one of the Daoists from the Heavenly Dao Sect, one of the greatest forces throughout the universe!
He was almost as powerful as a Prodigy.
He looked at Chu Hong, who was engulfed within the Phoenix Flames, and felt that she looked very familiar the more he looked at her. âIs she the Godly Phoenix whoâs been following Chu Kuangren?â he asked.
The other cultivatorsâ expressions changed a little at the mention of that name.
Chu Kuangrenâs name had become a sensation throughout the Interstellar Arena, so anything related to him would surely draw the attention of everyone.
âIâve heard that one of his followers is a Godly Phoenix. Could she be the one?â
âAt a closer look, she does look like the one.â
âI remember her name. Itâs Chu Hong, right? Sheâs quite well-known in the Interstellar Arena as well.â
Everyone was engaged in a discussion about Chu Hong.
âChu Hong?â
Huang Yuyi frowned, thinking that the name sounded familiar. She recalled that some Phoenixâs Nest cultivators had once sought Chu Hong out, hoping she would join them, but they were rejected in the end.
At that time, Huang Yuyi did not really care about it.
Although the Phoenixâs Nest was the most powerful among all phoenix orthodoxies, they could not hope to control the movement of every single Godly Phoenix out there.
Hence, it was no surprise that a few wild Godly Phoenixes were freely venturing outside the Phoenixâs Nest.
âI see, so sheâs the wild Godly Phoenix whoâs in my way, huh?â
A chilling look flashed across Huang Yuyiâs eyes. âIf only you accepted the offer back then, I might just let you off the hook. However, seeing that youâve made an unwise decision, you only have yourself to blame for what Iâm about to do next.â
At that moment, Chu Hong was absorbing a huge amount of Phoenix Flames into her body.
The purity of her bloodline immediately increased by one whole tier, making her a Godly Phoenix with a seventh-awakened bloodline!
Besides, she was now only a few steps away from an eighth-awakened bloodline as well.
By now, the purity of her bloodline had surpassed that of Huang Yuyi.
âThis bloodline aura⦠She must be close to Feng Qingtianâs level.â
Feng Qingtian was the strongest Prodigy among the Phoenixâs Nestâs younger generation sky-prides.
He had undergone a seventh-awakened bloodline long ago, and apparently, he was making preparations to achieve an eighth-awakened bloodline!
Huang Yuyi got even more jealous at that thought.
She was already a Godly Phoenix with a seventh-awakened bloodline. If she were the one who received the inheritance today, she might have had a chance to catch up with Feng Qingtian and become the strongest Phoenix Maiden of the Phoenixâs Nest!
âHey, guys. Take a look over there. Isnât that a palace within the Phoenix Flames?â
At that time, a sky-pride noticed something.
Everyone quickly looked ahead. Sure enough, there was a magnificent palace within the sea of Phoenix Flames. It was covered in Immortal Sparks and glittering as if made of gold. Immortal Herbs surrounded the land, and treasures lit up all around.
âHuang Jinghuang mustâve left her treasures behind inside that palace!â
Huang Yuyiâs eyes lit up in delight.
Everyoneâs eyes were burning with desire as well.
It was no surprise that the treasures left behind by an Embodier cultivator would make anyone excited.
âD*mn it. These annoying restrictions and barriers are in the way,â Heavenly Daoist Huang cursed.
âThose are weak barriers. Just break them!â
A roar suddenly sounded in the sky.
The figure of a crimson dragon appeared in the clouds, and its incomparably tyrannical aura spread everywhere, shocking everyone present!
At the same time, the crimson dragon opened its mouth and unleashed a blast of dragon aura at the restrictions.
The void immediately exploded with a bang.
When the attack landed on the restrictions, the whole terrain rumbled. However, the seals and restrictions remained unbroken.
On the contrary, it was the dragon aura that dispersed.
âAs expected of the restrictions placed by an Embodier. Itâs not something we can easily break apart,â the crimson dragon said as it turned into a young man with red hair.
âHeâs the Prodigy of the Dragon Palaceâs Crimson Dragon Tribe.â
Some were shocked upon his arrival.
Although not many yokai Prodigies were out there, most came from the three ancient orthodoxies â the Dragon Palace, Phoenixâs Nest, and Kylin Cave.
As for Loong Zhen, he was the Prodigy of the Crimson Dragon Tribe, one of the Five Dragon Palace Tribes!
