"Is that... a rooster?"

Gazing at the figure diving down, Qi Xiu's expression was peculiar.

Because this figure, which shook the surrounding area with just one crow, was astonishingly a rooster as big as a small mountain, with colorful tail feathers, a sharp beak now glistening, a vivid red crest on its head, and with a flap of its wings, it whipped up a terrifying storm!

The colorful giant rooster's speed was extremely fast. From the moment Qi Xiu saw it, the next second it leapt through the air as if teleporting, descending directly.

Bang!

The sharp beak, as if forged from gold, pecked down hard, sending endless scorching, overwhelming yang energy swirling about in golden rays. Behind the colorful giant rooster, an ancient nest constructed of countless Divine Tree Precious Leaves gradually emerged.

"Dao Body Realm?!"

Amazed at the colorful giant rooster displaying the Dao Body Dharma Aspect, Qi Xiu's face was filled with bewilderment, finding it hard to imagine that this was actually a Dao Body Realm rooster.

If not witnessed personally, no matter how others tried to tell me, I wouldn't have believed that such a thing as a Dao Body Realm rooster existed in this world.

Although surprised, faced with the terrifying strike coming directly down, Qi Xiu's figure flickered, transforming instantly into a wisp of green smoke, suddenly appearing atop the colorful giant rooster's head.

Dragon Eyes glimmered with purple-gold brilliance, and Qi Xiu's gaze shifted, capturing every detail of the colorful giant rooster's energy mechanisms.

"This bloodline... is merely of an ordinary rooster.

Indeed, the creatures here, like these towering trees, have all been forced to evolve due to the nurturing of vast vitality.

Even an ordinary giant rooster has been elevated to the existence of the Dao Body Realm."

This discovery made Qi Xiu even more convinced that this place was indeed where the Phoenix Emperor Heritage was located.

Otherwise, what could emit such overwhelming and robust vitality power?

With Qi Xiu perched atop its head, intense anger instantly flashed in the eyes of the colorful giant rooster. Its five colorful tail feathers suddenly stood erect and abruptly transformed into five flying swords, their sword light radiating domineeringly, sweeping through Qiankun, tearing the void into terrifying black ink-like cracks wherever they passed.

Ding ding ding ding ding——

Crisp and deafening collisions, fireworks burst glaringly on Qi Xiu's back.

Dragon Scale Light spontaneously emerged, solidly blocking the onslaught of these five flying swords. Scales, dark green with a heavy hue of color, shimmered slightly, instantly bouncing the colorful feathered swords away.

"Cluck cluck?"

Witnessing its tail feather flying swords, capable of splitting mountains, opening rivers, and slicing through the Sky Dome, unable to even scratch Qi Xiu's skin, a hint of astonishment stirred in the eyes of the colorful giant rooster.

"Lie down for me!"

Easily deflecting the colorful giant rooster's attack, Qi Xiu's Dragon Eyes radiated Divine Light. In this Phoenix Nest, his True Dragon Blood became even more active, shaping his hand into a blade, the edges brewing with a fierce and murderous aura, shattering layers of void.

Slash!

With a single chop, the entire rooster's head was sliced off with a slashing sound, like a volcanic eruption, transforming into a pillar of blood rushing skyward, releasing scorching blood plasma of over ten thousand degrees, turning the surrounding hundred miles into a molten lava land.

The Dragon Scale Light roared to life, dispersing the chicken blood raining down like a storm.

However, as Qi Xiu flashed away from the slowly collapsing rooster corpse, he suddenly noticed that from inside the rigid fallen rooster, a wisp of Red Gold Divine Light flickered.

This strand of light was extremely subtle and difficult to discern.

Had it not been under Qi Xiu's Dragon Eyes, an ordinary person would not have detected it at all.

In the very next second, as this Red Gold Divine Light rapidly flickered.

The colorful giant rooster, which had its head chopped off and its spirit shattered, inexplicably came back to life. The severed head regrew, completely unharmed, and the broken spirit even healed as well.

Following this, the bizarrely resurrected rooster let out a terrified screech, and as Qi Xiu watched intently, it suddenly transformed into a blur and fled at high speed into the distance.

"The head was severed, the spirit shattered, and yet it could still live again?

So that Divine Light was..."

Staring in the direction of the colorful giant rooster's retreat, Qi Xiu's eyes shifted slightly, contemplating in his heart, transforming into a wisp of green smoke, and chased after it abruptly.

Amid towering tree trunks like heavenly pillars, the colorful giant rooster desperately flapped its wings, releasing extremely dazzling light with its feathers, transforming itself into a rainbow of colors, sprinting forward at an incredible speed.

Yet just as the colorful giant rooster frequently turned back and realized it could already see that terrifying existence, an utterly calm but hellish voice suddenly echoed.

"True Dragon Law Realm, open!"

Rumble——

The fierce storm mixed with extreme thunder crashed head-on, sending the multicolored rooster, embodying five-colored rainbow light, directly back into its original form, tumbling backward in a sorry state.

"Cock-a-doodle-doo... Cock-a-doodle-doo!"

Terrified, it glanced around, unable to tell direction within the pitch-black, surging, boundless True Dragon Law Realm, where the multicolored rooster found itself lost.

The thunder hidden within the dense black clouds was ready to strike, with a vast oppressive aura that made it tremble like a sieve, its eyes filled with terror.

"My goodness, where did you bring back such a thing? Goodness, a rooster in the Dao Body Realm?!"

Above a mass of thunderclouds, Hu Tianzong gaped at the multicolored rooster trapped within the realm.

Without any Spiritual Wisdom, still in a poultry state, yet possessing the cultivation of the Dao Body Realm, once again stunned the Young Master of the Hu Family. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Without Spiritual Wisdom, how can one cultivate? Without cultivation, where does the Dao Body Realm's cultivation come from?

It was a complete paradox, yet vividly presented before him at this moment.

"The key to approaching the Phoenix Emperor Heritage should be hidden within this rooster."

Standing with his hands behind his back beside Hu Tianzong, Qi Xiu casually waved his hand, causing a sharp and domineering thunder light to suddenly shoot from the terrifying storm above his head, like the three-pointed double-edged blade of the mythological judicial deity, piercing through the body of the multicolored rooster.

Bang!

With no chance to resist, the hill-sized multicolored rooster instantly exploded into a mist of blood, turning everything from inside to out, including its spirit and will, into dust.

"This is..."

As Qi Xiu raised his hand to slay this extraordinary multicolored rooster, Hu Tianzong was puzzled, yet saw the rooster, which had turned into a dense, sticky blood mist just a second ago.

In the next instant, it resurrected, intact and unharmed, as if the previous destruction had been merely an illusion.

"Hmm?"

Hu Tianzong's expression suddenly became solemn as he squinted his eyes, examining the resurrected rooster.

He couldn't discern how this multicolored rooster came back to life, as if time had reversed.

"What's going on?"

Unable to find out the clues, Hu Tianzong turned his head to look at Qi Xiu.

"This is what I meant, a key to further approach the Phoenix Emperor Heritage."

Before Qi Xiu's words fell, he again waved his hand to kill the multicolored rooster.

Just as that mysterious red gold divine light was about to reappear, ready to resurrect the rooster, a prepared Qi Xiu's dragon eyes flickered, his body suddenly moved, and his right hand fiercely reached out, grabbing hold of this mysterious red gold gleam that held the power to alter life and death.

The moment he grabbed this red gold divine light, Qi Xiu's expression changed slightly.

He saw that his entire right hand was turning red at a speed visible to the naked eye.

A terrifyingly extreme temperature emanated from this red gold divine light, threatening to melt his entire arm alive.

Potentially, even his whole being.

Great Dao Divine Ban, Divine Spirit Beings, plus this impossible to subdue characteristic... if not for my True Dragon Body, capturing this thing might have been impossible.

Staring at the red gold divine light in his hand, Qi Xiu suddenly invoked the Dragon Blood within him, the dragon scale light along his right arm becoming more solid, resisting the terrifying high temperatures emitted by the red gold divine light.

This entangled struggle continued until Qi Xiu exerted ninety percent of his power, and the red gold divine light gradually calmed down.

Curiously stepping forward, Hu Tianzong craned his neck towards Qi Xiu's palm.

"What kind of Divine Object is this?"

Slowly opening his right hand, a strand as thin as hair, yet exuding vast vitality, entirely red gold and flawless, lay quietly in Qi Xiu's palm.

Looking down at the red gold divine light in his hand, Qi Xiu exhaled lightly and slowly spoke a name:

"Phoenix Blood!"
