Soul Land 5: The Rebirth of Tang San-Chapter 792: Phoenix Awakening

As the lord of the phoenix race, his essence blood was incredibly precious. Once used, it would be permanently diminished, and it could even impact his future cultivation. However, the Undying Demon Emperor had already reached the peak of the twelfth order, and "future cultivation" was simply not something that he was concerned about.

Even Emperors had their limits, and the Undying Demon Emperor had indeed struck the glass ceiling, as the Crystal Demon Emperor once had. What made the Crystal Demon Emperor fearsome was her ability to practically become three Emperor-level beings with completely different abilities; in terms of sheer bloodline power and other such, the Undying Demon Emperor was every bit her equal.

A layer of golden-red light enveloped Mei Gongzi and the Undying Demon Emperor. A melodious phoenix cry resounded as faint golden-red strands of light drifted toward Mei Gongzi's delicate figure, shrouding her within.

The golden-red light slowly merged into her skin, reaching all the way into her bones, causing a rosy blush to appear on Mei Gongzi's skin.

The Undying Demon Emperor was infusing Mei Gongzi's body with his aura as the Phoenix Lord, subtly influencing the very core of her bones, whence her bloodline stemmed.

Behind Mei Gongzi, two shadows materialized almost simultaneously: a silver peacock and a winged white tiger.

The two shadows were bathed in flames, and each released its own aura in an attempt to resist the phoenix fire. However, under the suppression of the Undying Demon Emperor's aura, they were completely subdued.

Mei Gongzi's delicate body remained stable. She felt a warm current flowing through her flesh and bones, penetrating deep into her very core, giving her a slightly itchy sensation.

This feeling was very peculiar; it was as if something was slowly awakening within her and seeking to break out. However, the two bloodlines within her were in violent turmoil.

Then a deep voice resounded.

"Quiet!"

In Mei Gongzi's sea of consciousness, an overwhelming aura of authority erupted, forcibly suppressing the White Tiger and Peacock Demon bloodlines.

But at that moment, a crisp metallic sound rang within Mei Gongzi's sea of consciousness, causing the imposing aura to tremble violently.

Even the Undying Demon Emperor shivered slightly from the shock, and his expression betrayed pure astonishment. His divine consciousness had actually been impacted, and it now felt somewhat destabilized. It had been struck by a power that came from the core of Mei Gongzi's divine consciousness!

A sword!

The Undying Demon Emperor then remembered a red light—the very light that had marked the defeat of the Immortal Flame Phoenix Great Demon King not too long ago. It seemed that this sword was actually the true core of Mei Gongzi's divine consciousness.

The Undying Demon Emperor hadn't expected that the divine artifact fused within Mei Gongzi's consciousness could even shake his own. Yet he was not alarmed but rather delighted. The stronger Mei Gongzi was now, the greater her future achievements would be.

No wonder she hadn't chosen the Celestial Plume as her life-bound artifact. It wasn't that she had failed the assessment, like she'd told the Celestial Fox Demon Emperor; it was simply that this sword was far superior to the Celestial Plume, so she had no reason to pick the latter.

The Undying Demon Emperor closed his eyes, and on his forehead, a golden-red light began to emerge—it appeared to be a phoenix feather, shimmering brilliantly. Then, a small pink phoenix suddenly flew out from the center of his forehead.

As soon as the pink phoenix appeared, the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor's expression changed. A crystalline barrier emerged on his skin, encasing him completely.

The pink phoenix was the Undying Demon Emperor's essence blood. He was the most powerful phoenix alive, and naturally, his essence blood exerted a strong suppressive force even on the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor.

Mei Gongzi's body shuddered violently when the little pink phoenix appeared. She felt the itch deep in her bones intensify almost tenfold, and in spite of herself, she frowned deeply. The sensation was almost unbearable, as if her very bones were being squeezed of marrow.

The pink phoenix circled above the Undying Demon Emperor's head once before flying toward Mei Gongzi. It hovered above Mei Gongzi's head, and a pink glow descended from it, enveloping her. Mei Gongzi felt the itchiness throughout her body reach its peak, making her groan. Her skin was instantly tinged with a blood-red hue.

The pink phoenix flickered lightly in the air and suddenly split, forming a smaller pink phoenix about a third of its original size. It swiftly descended, landing directly on Mei Gongzi's head.

In an instant, golden-red light rapidly spread down and wrapped her body, starting with her head, then concentrating in her spine. All the itchiness abruptly converged in her spine, and Mei Gongzi felt an intense heat erupt, instantly sweeping through her entire body.

It was as if she was immersed in a fiery, golden-red ocean; the bloodline powers within her burst with energy, and it felt as if her very marrow was being extracted from her bones, creating an intense yet hollow pain. But even more heat continued to pour into her spine; it felt as if new marrow was being generated inside her bones.

Ring upon ring of golden-red light rippled outward from Mei Gongzi's body, accompanied by phoenix cries that reverberated within the grand hall of the White Tiger Palace.

Yes, they emerged from within her. This was Mei Gongzi's bloodline power—the phoenix bloodline origin that was hers in the first place, resonating with the blood essence of the Undying Demon Emperor.

Within her body, Mei Gongzi saw the pink phoenix flying freely, passing through each bone. Everywhere it went, her bones underwent earth-shaking changes, turning into golden-red as more bloodline power continuously overflowed from them. Mei Gongzi could even feel her bone marrow turning pink as the phoenix passed by, while a unique, peculiar sensation also emerged in her divine consciousness—the inherited consciousness of the Immortal Flame Phoenix clan. This allowed her to gain insight and begin to perceive the characteristics of the Immortal Flame Phoenix bloodline.

She had just been injected with the blood essence of the strongest member of the Immortal Flame Phoenix clan, the absolute pinnacle of bloodline power in this world. Under the infusion of this essence, Mei Gongzi's own blood essence began to transform. It was only because her body had endured the baptism of the unprecedented Six Directions Eight Desolations Golden Fiend Tribulation that she could withstand such an immense impact from the blood essence.

The reason the Undying Demon Emperor had examined her body earlier was to determine how much bloodline power he would need to help her awaken.

Since Mei Gongzi's body could endure so much, he spared no effort, using nearly a third of his blood essence to assist her in this awakening. This was undoubtedly a tremendous benefit to Mei Gongzi—as she awakened her phoenix bloodline, she awakened the quintessential Immortal Flame at the same time. In other words, she immediately came to possess the Phoenix Nirvana ability.

Ordinary members of the Immortal Flame Phoenix clan required many years of cultivation and a certain level of bloodline power to acquire this ability. By contrast, Mei Gongzi had acquired it effortlessly, within seconds.

Immediately after birth, Mei Gongzi's phoenix bloodline had been stripped away entirely by the Peacock Great Demon King, but that was not the case with her bone marrow. Practically, her bloodline origin was still there, although dry and dormant. Now, under the guidance of the Undying Demon Emperor, it had not only been awakened, but also completely transformed.

The White Tiger Demon Emperor had been using his divine consciousness to monitor Mei Gongzi's condition, ensuring his granddaughter's safety. As he sensed her state, his expression began to change.

You bastard, you sure are going all out!

He truly was sparing no effort in helping Mei Gongzi awaken her phoenix bloodline, and it wasn't just a simple awakening. The revived phoenix bloodline, assisted by the Undying Demon Emperor's power, was continuously evolving and strengthening, beginning to dominate Mei Gongzi's bloodline power.
