“I am Huang Jinghuang!”
An indifferent voice containing a domineering aura sounded.
The moment she heard that name, Huang Yuyi’s expression immediately turned into disbelief. “Huang Jinghuang! Is that really you?!”
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 Phoenix’s Nest scriptures.
“Why? Why have you given your inheritance to a wild Godly Phoenix who isn’t from the Phoenix’s Nest?!”
Huang Yuyi questioned, “I’m clearly the best candidate to receive your inheritance, so why have you chosen her instead?!”
“Simple. It’s because she passed my trial. Besides, as a young generation cultivator of the Phoenix’s Nest, do you think you have the right to question my decision?!”
The tone of Huang Jinghuang’s 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 Yuyi’s 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.
“Because you’re a younger generation sky-pride from the Phoenix’s Nest, I shall temporarily overlook your insolence. Now, leave,” Huang Jinghuang said indifferently.
Huang Yuyi looked conflicted, and there was a sense of unwillingness in her eyes.
However, because Huang Jinghuang’s Immortal Consciousness was here, she could not do anything to Chu Hong but leave. Still, she did not leave far from the place.
“Huang Jinghuang might be powerful, but that’s only her Immortal Consciousness. How long can she possibly retain that form?”
“Once that Godly Phoenix obtains her inheritance, that Immortal Consciousness will surely dissipate. When that time comes, I’ll go and snatch it from her. What can you do about it, huh, Huang Jinghuang?!” 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 Jinghuang’s Immortal Consciousness sighed.
“A wild Godly Phoenix who’s not from the Phoenix’s Nest, huh? Oh well, she’s still a Godly Phoenix anyway.”
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 Phoenix’s Nest in the future.
That was one of the reasons she chose to give Chu Hong her inheritance.
“It seems like the young one from the Phoenix’s Nest will not give up that easily. My Immortal Consciousness can’t keep you safe for long, so you’ll have to keep an eye out for yourself once we’re done here,” Huang Jinghuang murmured.
After Huang Yuyi left, the sky-prides that sensed the Godly Phoenix’s inheritance from outer space soon arrived one after another.
A few Prodigies were among them as well.
“That Godly Phoenix isn’t a Prodigy from the Phoenix’s Nest. Has a new Prodigy appeared from their ranks?” the Immortal Hall’s Holy Violet Imperial Commander said with a frown.
“She’s not a Prodigy from the Phoenix’s Nest,” 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 Phoenix’s 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.
“Oh, a sky-pride who’s not from the Phoenix’s Nest, huh? Interesting.”
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. “Is she the Godly Phoenix who’s been following Chu Kuangren?” he asked.
The other cultivators’ expressions changed a little at the mention of that name.
Chu Kuangren’s name had become a sensation throughout the Interstellar Arena, so anything related to him would surely draw the attention of everyone.
“I’ve heard that one of his followers is a Godly Phoenix. Could she be the one?”
“At a closer look, she does look like the one.”
“I remember her name. It’s Chu Hong, right? She’s quite well-known in the Interstellar Arena as well.”
Everyone was engaged in a discussion about Chu Hong.
“Chu Hong?”
Huang Yuyi frowned, thinking that the name sounded familiar. She recalled that some Phoenix’s 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 Phoenix’s 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 Phoenix’s Nest.
“I see, so she’s the wild Godly Phoenix who’s in my way, huh?”
A chilling look flashed across Huang Yuyi’s eyes. “If only you accepted the offer back then, I might just let you off the hook. However, seeing that you’ve made an unwise decision, you only have yourself to blame for what I’m about to do next.”
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.
“This bloodline aura… She must be close to Feng Qingtian’s level.”
Feng Qingtian was the strongest Prodigy among the Phoenix’s Nest’s 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 Phoenix’s Nest!
“Hey, guys. Take a look over there. Isn’t that a palace within the Phoenix Flames?”
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.
“Huang Jinghuang must’ve left her treasures behind inside that palace!”
Huang Yuyi’s eyes lit up in delight.
Everyone’s eyes were burning with desire as well.
It was no surprise that the treasures left behind by an Embodier cultivator would make anyone excited.
“D*mn it. These annoying restrictions and barriers are in the way,” Heavenly Daoist Huang cursed.
“Those are weak barriers. Just break them!”
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.
“As expected of the restrictions placed by an Embodier. It’s not something we can easily break apart,” the crimson dragon said as it turned into a young man with red hair.
“He’s the Prodigy of the Dragon Palace’s Crimson Dragon Tribe.”
Some were shocked upon his arrival.
Although not many yokai Prodigies were out there, most came from the three ancient orthodoxies — the Dragon Palace, Phoenix’s Nest, and Kylin Cave.
As for Loong Zhen, he was the Prodigy of the Crimson Dragon Tribe, one of the Five Dragon Palace Tribes!
