Asura Mad Emperor

Chapter 679: Undying Phoenix



```

"This is actually a phoenix, an undying bird!"

Qinchuan could clearly see the shadow in the center of the burning divine flame, which was indeed a resounding phoenix, undying and immutable.

The phoenix is not one of the first generation of divine beasts from the dawn of creation, but it is even more fearsome than the host of divine beasts.

It was born from the Vermilion Bird, one of the Four Symbols divine beasts.

According to the legends, in the ancient world, the Vermilion Bird once fought a tremendous battle against the strong of the Ghost Race atop the sky-reaching mountains and was besieged by the ten great Netherworld's Yama Emperors of the Kaitian era, finally perishing at the foot of those lofty mountains.

But.

Surrounded by countless Ghost Emperors, a trace of the Vermilion Bird's flesh and blood managed to remain, and after three years at the foot of the sky-reaching mountains, the Vermilion Bird was reborn in the endless fiery earth magma.

In the countless years that followed, the Vermilion Bird comprehended the method of rebirth from the flame, with the undying phoenix being a spiritual form condensed from this.

Now, this spiritual form of the Vermilion Bird was actually being suppressed under this palace.

Qinchuan couldn't help but sigh.

Renowned as undying, the undying phoenix, after being refined by the endless river of years, had also perished.

"Within these divine flames, what is preserved must be the soul essence of the phoenix. If one could obtain its legacy..."

Qinchuan's eyes blazed with fervor as he gazed at the ethereal shadow in the center of the divine flame.

But he immediately suppressed this thought.

"What a pity, the divine flame emanated by this soul essence is too terrifying."

Qinchuan understood all too well that although he had now reached the center of the divine flame, compared to the entire great hall area, he had traversed less than one percent.

The remaining area contained undoubtedly formidable restrictions and arrays.

Even without prohibitory arrays suppressing it, he felt he had already reached his limit. If he were to forcefully break through further inside, his physical body would not withstand the roasting of the divine flame and completely disintegrate.

"What a pity! What a pity!"

Qinchuan had missed numerous divine physical bodies in the outside world, and he felt somewhat regretful, but now he watched helplessly as the soul of the undying phoenix was right before his eyes, yet he was unable to absorb it, which caused him immense pain.

"If my innate body were to fuse with the soul of the undying phoenix, my physical body's recovery ability would probably be not inferior to those of the Ancient Divine Clan, right?"

Qinchuan pondered thoughtfully in his heart.

"Let it be, I'll return to this place after I achieve the status of a Divine Emperor!"

Qinchuan made up his mind; for now, his physical strength was merely at the Saint level, insufficient to take on this immense opportunity. He could only wait until he grew stronger in the future to come back.

Just as Qinchuan was preparing to continue exploring the great hall for other possible fortunes, a faint sound suddenly emanated from one side of the hall.

"Someone's coming!"

Qinchuan's heart stirred.

"In this endless abyss, deep beneath the ground, someone has actually found their way here. Could it be them?"

Immediately, Qinchuan surveyed the surroundings and saw a giant demon bell above the great hall.

Without hesitation, Qinchuan moved, flying atop the demon bell, inhaling and exhaling, his physical body concealed within the void.

With a "creak," four figures walked through the door emitting a blue glow.

"It's really them!" Qinchuan saw clearly who the newcomers were and muttered to himself.

"This young master said it; the three major families of Evil Gu, Wind, and Feng could not have entered this place with just three people, how could they activate the Four Aspects Law? It turned out these rats have been making trouble within!"

Below the great hall.

```

The ones who entered were none other than the emperors of the three great Evil Family, Er Rengu, Gu Changtian, and Feng Hongyi.

These individuals, originally possessing the divine power of emperors, now only had the cultivation level of the Holy Realm Early Stage due to being under the influence of the Ancient Realm's Four Aspects Law.

Besides the three of them, the remaining figure was enshrouded in a black robe, radiating a strong aura that could be smelled from afar, an unpleasant odor unmistakably belonging to the Netherworld Hall.

Initially, the Burning Heaven Sect and the Spirit Martial Great Tomb had the presence of Netherworld Hall, but the Burning Heaven Sect was saved by Qinchuan, while the Mend Heaven Sect's Holy Maiden in the Spirit Martial Great Tomb was driven back to the Upper Realm by oneself.

Afterwards, the Netherworld Hall vanished without a trace. He had been wondering why they, who insisted on exacting revenge, seemed to calm down after he foiled their plans twice. It turned out they were entangled with the Ghost Race, and these old Netherworld Hall beings dared not be too conspicuous.

"No wonder, these remnants of the Netherworld Hall could rise once more, there's the support of the Ghost Race behind them!"

Seeing these individuals together, Qinchuan also understood why the Netherworld Hall was able to return to the Divine Wilderness Continent.

Fifty thousand years ago, Qinchuan and the Netherworld Hall had sworn enmity with each other, erupting into a heaven-shaking great war in the Divine Realm. In the end, Qinchuan annihilated all the mighty ones of the Netherworld Hall, and even the ordinary disciples were all killed.

However, one person's capabilities are limited. Back then, some powerful individuals managed to escape into the Underworld, barely surviving.

"Hmph, I want to see what are you conspiring by joining together?"

Without showing any expression, Qinchuan watched the four people in the center and silently mused.

"Hiss!"

"Such a terrifying Divine Flame!" As soon as the four entered, Er Rengu couldn't help but speak out.

"As expected of the Undying Bird, even after death for eons, the Divine Fire still burns fiercely." Feng Hongyi let out a continuous surge of aura, using Spiritual Energy to counter the Undying Bird's flame's engulfment, and exclaimed in amazement.

"These people have actually come for the Undying Bird!"

Qinchuan's eyebrows raised in surprise; with his Innate Pupils, it took him considerable effort to make out that at the heart of the Divine Flame was the Undying Bird.

These individuals knew that the Divine Flame was emitted by the Undying Bird the moment they entered the Demon Palace, indicating they came for the Undying Bird.

"Elder Ye, quickly bring out the Absolute Death Calming Fire Pearl, the flames are about to incinerate me!"

At that moment, the Evil Family emperor called Er Rengu spoke to the ill-smelling elder of the Netherworld Hall.

"Absolute Death Calming Fire Pearl?!"

"These individuals actually possess the Saint Level magical treasure of the Ghost Race!"

Qinchuan was surprised once again, finding it hard to believe.

After the opening of the Divine Wilderness Continent in ancient times, the first batch of objects that came into being were tainted with the chaos qi of heaven and earth, becoming supreme sacred objects.

However, those sacred objects were controlled by the four major clans at that time.

Following the unparalleled great war and the extinction of the three ancient clans, with the Ghost Race sealed in the Underworld, these supreme magical treasures and sacred objects were almost all lost.

Only within the Ghost Race were the Absolute Death Calming Fire Pearl and the Heavenly Green Calming Water Pearl still possessed.

From the names of these two water and fire pearls alone, it is clear that they do not possess combat power, but they have some other wondrous uses.

The Absolute Death Calming Fire Pearl was born from the flames that leaked during the opening of the world and can shield the Strange fires of the world.

The Heavenly Green Calming Water Pearl, on the other hand, was nurtured in off-water, having the ability to remain invulnerable to all waters.

Qinchuan had long coveted these two pearls.

Back when he traversed the Myriad Heavens and Worlds, searching for various Heavenly Treasures Materials, he would often enter dangerous regions with True Water and True Fire. If he possessed these two Sacred Pearls, they would greatly assist him in his treasure hunting.

However, these two pearls were regarded as more precious than life itself by the Ghost Race.

In his second life, Qinchuan came into conflict with the strong of the Underworld. He invaded the Underworld and pressured the Ghost Race strongmen to bow their heads.

He once wanted to demand these two Sacred objects for a look, but those Ghost Race strongmen preferred death over submission, choosing to be cast into endless purgatory rather than compromise.

It was then he gave up on the idea.
