Slaying Demons: Starting with Upgrading my Calligraphy
Chapter 726 - 595: Phoenix Sovereign’s Adopted Son! (Part 2)
As they gazed upon the giant trees far exceeding the limits of bloodlines, the two Primordial Spirit True Honors couldn't help but show a trace of astonishment.
Song Baiyi placed his hand on one of the giant trees, his brows furrowed slightly, as he opened his palm and surveyed the surroundings.
"Great Dao Divine Ban?"
"Then it must be right.
As the ancient saying goes: The Phoenix Nest possesses a Spirit, dwelling securely within eight thousand miles.
This means the area within eight thousand miles around the Phoenix Nest is the realm of the Great Dao Divine Ban.
We have come to the right place."
Successfully reaching the location of the Phoenix Nest, Moon Sea True Venerable's face flushed slightly.
Arriving at the Phoenix Nest, they are now close to the inheritance.
"We've come to the right place, but you better not be too optimistic."
With a cold withdrawal of his right hand, Song Baiyi slowly rotated his tiger eyes, scanning the surroundings.
"Under the suppression of the Great Dao Divine Ban, even you and I can barely utilize any techniques.
And this place is not as peaceful as you might imagine."
Before Song Baiyi's words were finished, the surroundings suddenly turned pitch-black, with all light suddenly obscured.
Moon Sea True Venerable slightly frowned and looked upward.
Only to see an enormous, shadowy figure, blocking the sky and sun, arriving above this dense Forest Sea; its pair of fragmented gold eyes, like blazing suns, coldly gazing down upon them.
"That is..."
Boom——
Through the torn clouds, a Heaven-Lifting Giant Claw suddenly descended, its fierce aura mingling with terrifying pressure, transforming into waves that swept all directions, turning the areas it passed into nothingness.
"Run!"
Grabbing Moon Sea True Venerable, Song Baiyi's official boots lit up with ancient, mysterious symbols.
These symbols, filled with ancient, vast charm, vaguely transformed into a mighty giant, hair disheveled, as robust as a mountain, standing tall between heaven and earth.
With the Divine Marvel descending, Song Baiyi took a step forward, and the ground underfoot instantly shrank on its own.
In an instant, they were miles away.
"Is this... Primordial Witchcraft?"
Staring at the symbols on Song Baiyi's official boots that differed from all Dao, Buddhist, demon, and various systems, Moon Sea True Venerable's eyes showed a hint of surprise.
"You, little lady, seem to know quite a bit." Song Baiyi glanced at Moon Sea True Venerable with a light chuckle.
Little lady...
Her mouth twitched slightly; having cultivated the Dao for over six thousand years and achieved the position of True Venerable for more than four thousand years, Moon Sea True Venerable couldn't remember how long it had been since anyone dared to call her that.
"It's said Primordial Witchcraft was created by some of the very first people of the Human Race, in defiance of heaven and earth, in resistance to nature, and in opposition to all spirits and beings.
It's one of the very few systems in heaven and earth that doesn't rely on the Three Thousand Grand Paths.
Only after the great calamity before Ancient Times.
Primordial Witchcraft has been completely lost, leaving behind only fragmented remnants, with its power greatly diminished.
Unexpectedly, you actually mastered one technique."
Upon hearing Moon Sea True Venerable reveal the origins of Primordial Witchcraft, Song Baiyi couldn't help but give her another glance.
"This technique is called Sun Chasing, and it is incomplete, only half of the Primordial Witchcraft.
If it were the complete Sun Chasing Technique, from the Thirty-Three Layered Heavens above to the Eighteen Layers of Hell below, across All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds, it could be reached in a single thought."
As Song Baiyi spoke, they had already traveled hundreds of thousands of miles, but the shadow overhead remained unchanged, showing no sign of being left behind.
"What is that, how can it be so fast?"
Frowning as she gazed at the figure overhead, Moon Sea True Venerable instinctively wanted to use techniques to probe its true appearance.
However, under the suppression of the Great Dao Divine Ban, the techniques she could use were already extremely limited.
"Phoenix Sovereign's adopted child, Golden-Winged Roc!"
Slightly raising his eyes, Song Baiyi's eyes gleamed with golden light as he revealed the identity of the figure.
"Phoenix Sovereign's adopted child?"
"Yes, it's rumored that the Phoenix is the ruler of birds, the king of all birds.
Great Roc, peacock, and many other divine birds are said to be its offspring.
But in truth, it's not so; the Phoenix only gives birth to Phoenixes.
When a young Phoenix matures, the elder Phoenix will cease to exist.
And those divine birds claiming to be the offspring of the Phoenix are actually its adopted children, not its direct bloodline."
"I see, by this reckoning the Golden-Winged Roc should be the Guardian Beast protecting the Phoenix Emperor Heritage." Moon Sea True Venerable said.
"The Golden-Winged Roc is renowned for being the fastest in the world.
With a spread of its wings, it can soar ninety thousand miles.
Even with this half of the Sun Chasing Technique, it's likely impossible to widen the distance." Indifferent in demeanor, Song Baiyi pondered how to shake off this divine bird.
The Golden-Winged Roc Clan is also an extremely powerful ancient bloodline.
It is said to be able to battle True Dragons!
If this were outside, he wouldn't mind, but now, under the suppression of the Great Dao Divine Ban, many techniques cannot be used, which is quite troublesome.
Just as Song Baiyi hesitated, a wisp of blue smoke suddenly rushed from afar.
"Excuse me."
A faint voice passed by.
As Song Baiyi narrowed his eyes, he saw an enormous shadow rapidly approaching, a shadow no less than the Golden-Winged Roc above him.
"That is..."
Ca-caw—
With an ear-shattering cry, a sea of five-colored luminescence surged like a tidal wave, sweeping everything away in its path, leaving a terrifying patchwork of void.
Narrowing his eyes, Song Baiyi's expression turned slightly cold.
"Trying to shift the blame?"
Reaching out a large hand, a tumultuous surge of blood energy transformed into thick chains, etched with ancient marks, which fiercely wrapped toward the wisp of blue smoke with sheer terrifying force.
"Just passing through, is it necessary?"
A response came from the blue smoke, and simultaneously, it erupted with infinite blazing radiance, penetrating Qiankun, suppressing everything.
The chains and light collided with a heaven-shaking sound, unleashing infinite dazzling phenomena.
"Interesting." Raising an eyebrow, just as Song Baiyi was about to strike again.
The two enormous shadows above already converged.
"That person's methods are peculiar, possibly having obtained the True Dragon Inheritance. He has already seized four strands of Phoenix Blood. Quickly intercept him and do not let him get close to the Phoenix Nest."
Under the boundless five-colored luminescence, the enormous figure transformed, becoming a man draped in resplendent garments, facial features stern yet embodying the pinnacle of beauty in the world.
"True Dragon? The greedy brat, already having the True Dragon Inheritance, still coveting the foster father's treasures; he indeed deserves to die.
However..."
The Golden-Winged Roc also transformed into a man with a cold face, exuding an intense domineering aura, his sharp eyes alarming.
"Why should I listen to you?"
"Because I am your elder brother!"
"I am your father."
"You!"
Glaring at the defiant Golden-Winged Roc, the Peacock suppressed his temper:
"The ones who came this time are different from the past.
If they merely stole a few strands of Phoenix Blood, it wouldn't matter, but this group obviously aims for the foster father's treasures.
If the foster father's treasures are lost, how will we explain it!"
Despite the Peacock's reminder, the Golden-Winged Roc just snorted:
"Just with this handful of idiots, they wish to lay their hands on the foster father's treasures?
Ridiculous!
In less than half a day, I'll make them my food and dung under my feet!"
It's starting again...
Watching the arrogant Golden-Winged Roc, the Peacock took a deep breath.
If not for considering them as brothers under the foster father, he truly wanted to chop off this foolish bird's head and make soup!
"Alright, alright, go and quickly deal with those two Primordial Spirits.
I'll capture that Little Dragon!"
Unwilling to argue further, the Peacock waved his hand and then transformed into a ray of rainbow light, chasing after Qi Xiu.
"Hmph, what's it to you." Muttering and rolling his eyes, as the Golden-Winged Roc turned his head, he found those two just now were nowhere to be found, making him dumbfounded.
"Where are they?!"
...
"The secret of the Phoenix Emperor Heritage is indeed within this Phoenix Blood." As he fled swiftly, Qi Xiu's face tinged with crimson, and strong, vigorous fire chi roamed between his seven orifices.
Underneath his skin, faint hints of Red Gold Divine Light surged through his veins.
At the same time, a radiant wheel illuminating all within the heavens and earth slowly began to form and emerge.
He had ingested four strands of Phoenix Blood.
At this moment, these four strands of Phoenix Blood were gradually merging within him, emitting an overwhelming power a hundred times stronger than a single strand of Phoenix Blood.
As the Phoenix Blood merged, a profound and mysterious guidance appeared in his consciousness.
Though the guidance was very obscure.
Qi Xiu could be certain that the endpoint of this guidance was the Phoenix Emperor Heritage.
