Chapter 18: Legend of the Beast God

Boom boom boom!

The next instant!

That enormous phoenix let out a tremendous roar.

A pair of phoenix eyes brimmed with majesty.

An overbearing, world-scorning gaze looked at Chen Xuan and his phantom beast.

To tell the truth!

The legendary phoenix is a beast whose bloodline has reached the highest tier — the mythic grade.

It is one of the most powerful phantom beasts.

Judging by bloodline rank alone, it truly has the right to look down even on a phantom beast like the Holy Light Dragon.

Boom boom boom!

A thick gout of flame spewed out.

Like an eruption of molten lava.

The phoenix, glaring at Chen Xuan, clearly launched its attack against Chen Xuan and the Holy Light Dragon.

A massive wave of lava rolled forward with terrifying momentum.

Anyone would think that lava could reduce everything to ash.

In an instant the rolling flames came crashing like a colossal tide.

"Aaaah!"

"We're done for, we're done for this time!"

"Anyone touched by the phoenix's flames would probably turn to ash in an instant!"

Li Cong shouted in a fluster.

One wave had barely settled when another rose.

The two enormous phantom beasts had just been saved by that mysterious Beast God and the Holy Dragon.

Who would have thought they'd run into a legendary phoenix like this.

"Congzi, dying beneath the flames of a divine bird like the phoenix — you could call it our fortune!"

Deng Xiuwen's expression was strange, as if both unwilling and somehow blissful.

To die beneath the phoenix's flames.

Whether that was fortune or misfortune, he couldn't say.

The rolling flames instantly filled this stretch of the valley.

Like a tide of fire.

The pressure was terrifyingly fearsome.

Below the platform, the wind wolves that had been surrounding them earlier —

All tucked their tails and fled, leaving only rolling clouds of dust behind.

Compared with a legendary divine beast like this, they were weaker than ants.

How could they dare face it head-on.

Li Cong and Deng Xiuwen were already deathly pale.

Yet Chen Xuan's face remained perfectly calm.

Obviously!

That Hundred-Changes Raccoon knew that the Chen Xuan and Holy Light Dragon before it were the truly troublesome enemies.

It tried to use a phoenix — that innate bloodline — to scare Chen Xuan away.

If it had been an ordinary beast-tamer with an ordinary phantom beast,

they probably really would have run.

Just like Deng Xiuwen and Li Cong.

Too bad, the one it ran into was Chen Xuan — who possessed a system.

He could see the phantom beast's attribute panel.

In Chen Xuan's eyes,

the phoenix conjured before him was still displayed as a Hundred-Changes Raccoon Mutant.

"Looks like this little fellow has actually seen a phoenix before — not bad at all!"

Chen Xuan laughed.

The next instant!

He had already ordered the Holy Light Long Xiaobai to launch an attack.

"Light's Judgment!"

A huge white cross smashed toward the phoenix.

Boom boom boom!

The cross slammed into the flames.

Without the slightest resistance.

Meanwhile Deng Xiuwen and Li Cong were using their arms to shield their faces.

Yet they discovered that when the flames touched their bodies,

nothing happened at all.

Just as they stood there in shock,

they saw that enormous cross hurtling toward the phoenix.

The next moment!

"Ow ow!"

A sound of pain rang out.

Boom!

A strange sound rang out.

They saw that phoenix transform into the shape of a civet.

"A civet?"

They saw a bump on the civet's head where it had been struck.

It was painfully rubbing its own head.

"Contract!"

Just at this moment.

A flash of light appeared.

It linked the Hundred Transformations Civet with Chen Xuan.

Very quickly!

The civet flying in the sky transformed into a streak of light and sank into Chen Xuan's body.

The Hundred Transformations Civet's mimicry mutant.

Was itself an extremely rare and peculiar phantom beast.

Added to that, being a mutant, it possessed the ability of mimicry.

Chen Xuan wanted to nurture it.

After it evolved in the future, it could transform into even more phantom beasts.

It might even possess part of the original body's abilities.

This could be said to be an extremely powerful phantom beast.

Thinking this!

Chen Xuan rode Little White and flew toward the Obsidian Evolution Stone.

Sharp claws.

In one stroke, they tore through that protective barrier.

A black stone appeared in Chen Xuan's hand.
