Chapter 1542: Ancestral Phoenix (Second update, requesting everything)

Nowadays, the Phoenix Clan's strength is greatly diminished; wanting to recover to the point of possessing three Emperor Rank phoenixes undoubtedly requires a vast amount of time.

Therefore, Li Zhangsheng's phoenix must help suppress it from time to time; this is just like the Candle Dragon, which does not need to suppress the Undying Volcano at every moment, but can completely wait until the Undying Volcano shows abnormalities before going to suppress it.

There is also a method to alleviate the eruption of the Undying Volcano; as long as the Red Dome Tripod is paired with a Special Forbidden Array, the harm during an eruption can be reduced and weakened.

In short, even if Li Zhangsheng's phoenix becomes an Ancestral Phoenix, it does not need to suppress the Undying Volcano every single moment.

Before this, Li Zhangsheng re-embedded the precious pearl obtained from the Blood Emperor Space Ring into the Demon Refining Pot, allowing the Demon Refining Pot to return to its peak; if coordinated with the "Book of Bloodlines," Li Zhangsheng's refining rate could be said to have advanced a step further.

Not long after, Li Zhangsheng finished refining all the Phoenix Corpses that possessed the Ancestral Phoenix Bloodline, obtaining a full eleven jars of Ancestral Phoenix Blood Essence.

The refining rate of these few phoenixes completely exceeded fifty percent, and even approached sixty percent; this can be said to be a quite exaggerated refining rate.

If one were to refine an Ancestral Phoenix Corpse, due to the significant reduction in steps, it might even be possible to reach as much as seventy percent.

At this time, Li Zhangsheng recalled the phoenix from the Undying Volcano, letting it refine the Ancestral Phoenix Bloodline.

Just like the Giant Dragon and the Ancestral Giant Dragon, this is not a second bloodline, but belongs to a sublimation.

Li Zhangsheng took out the Ancestral Phoenix Corpse and directly cut off the Ancestral Phoenix's head.

Because the Heaven and Earth Status was located in the Ancestral Phoenix's head, he temporarily had no intention of refining this head, otherwise it would significantly accelerate the rate of loss of the Heaven and Earth Status.

Although it had not been a full day, the Heaven and Earth Status had ultimately lost a little bit, and it was unknown whether, after the phoenix absorbed it, it could directly become a Unique Divine Beast, rather than having an extra "Pseudo" word like the Hundred-Headed Giant Dragon.

According to Li Zhangsheng's analysis, even if the Ancestral Phoenix's Heaven and Earth Status loss was not great, it was ultimately incomplete, and it was possible that it would still need to have a "Pseudo" word added.

Regardless, Li Zhangsheng had to try it first; whether there was a "Pseudo" word or not, his strength would increase to a certain extent, and it would be easier to suppress the Undying Volcano.

Since the Ancestral Phoenix Corpse was still warm, its physical strength was actually stronger than that of Lin Zu or the Ancestral Dragon, making it more troublesome to process, but this was not difficult for Adai.

Even if the Ancestral Phoenix was a Unique Divine Beast, it was also at the Emperor Rank realm just like Adai, not to mention that after falling, its physical strength would drop significantly, so the difficulty for Adai to process it was not very great.

In this process, Li Zhangsheng obtained a large amount of Ancestral Phoenix Feathers, Ancestral Phoenix Claws, Ancestral Phoenix Tendons, and five tail feathers glowing with five-colored brilliance; each of these five tail feathers exceeded one thousand meters.

Just like the significance of the Dragon Pearl to the Dragon Clan, the tail feathers can be said to be the most essential part of the Phoenix Clan.

The remaining Ancestral Phoenix flesh and bones were naturally chopped into small pieces by Adai; because the Ancestral Phoenix's body was too large, it was directly piled into a mountain.

Without wasting a single bit, Li Zhangsheng collected them into the Demon Refining Pot and began to refine the Ancestral Phoenix Blood Essence.

Due to the exaggerated physical strength of the Ancestral Phoenix, this time, the refining speed was much slower than the previous Emperor Rank phoenixes.

After more than two hours passed, the refining was finally completed, allowing Li Zhangsheng to obtain enough Ancestral Phoenix Blood Essence.

At this time, the phoenix successfully refined the eleven jars of Ancestral Phoenix Blood Essence, and its appearance and body size changed slightly.

"Continue!"

Li Zhangsheng pointed at the newly refined Ancestral Phoenix Blood Essence, letting the phoenix continue to increase the concentration of the Ancestral Phoenix Bloodline.

In this process, the phoenix's body size continued to grow larger, and other colors of brilliance gradually added to the fiery red tail feathers, until it finally emitted brilliance of four colors; no matter what, a fifth color of brilliance did not appear.

With the Five Elements unbalanced, it naturally could not count as an Ancestral Phoenix; this is just like the Eight-Clawed Golden Dragon—as long as the Heaven and Earth Status is successfully installed, it can become a true Ancestral Phoenix.

Li Zhangsheng let the phoenix adapt to its new body for a while before taking out the Heaven and Earth Status from the Ancestral Phoenix's head and fusing it into the phoenix's head.

This Heaven and Earth Status still had over ninety-five percent remaining, having only dissipated two or three parts; its completion was far beyond the Heaven and Earth Status of the Hundred-Headed Giant Dragon.

Of course, the current phoenix was not the phoenix of the past; it was, after all, a Legendary Quality Emperor Rank phoenix, and its physical strength alone was stronger by more than one grade.

Just as Li Zhangsheng expected, it was not until several minutes had passed that the phoenix finally had a slight feeling of pain, feeling waves of tearing pain coming from within its body, but it was clearly still within its tolerance range.

However, the speed of flesh and blood tearing was constantly accelerating; after a quarter of an hour, the phoenix's own healing speed finally could not keep up with the speed of destruction.

Only at this time did Li Zhangsheng take out a gourd.

A water line emitting three colors of brilliance flew out from the gourd and fell into the phoenix's body from its slightly opened Bird Beak.

This was naturally the Three Lights Divine Water; because the phoenix's body surface temperature was too high, Li Zhangsheng did not dare to let it come into contact with the Three Lights Divine Water Lake, fearing that if something went wrong, all the Three Lights Divine Water in the entire lake would be evaporated, and he would be left unable to cry.

Under the effect of the Three Lights Divine Water, the wounds inside the phoenix's body were accelerating their healing.

Li Zhangsheng controlled the quantity of the Three Lights Divine Water, making the phoenix's recovery speed and destruction speed remain level, while incidentally tempering the phoenix's will.

This also caused the phoenix's spirit to suffer torture, becoming increasingly listless.

As time passed, the pain continued to intensify, but under the maintenance of the Three Lights Divine Water, it could still be sustained.

In this process, Li Zhangsheng gradually increased the output of the Three Lights Divine Water.

Watching more and more Three Lights Divine Water being absorbed by the phoenix, Li Zhangsheng could not help but feel a heartache.

Li Zhangsheng was prepared at all times; once the phoenix could not hold on, he would forcibly remove the Heaven and Earth Status.

Although doing so would make his heart ache so much he could hardly breathe, as long as he could save the phoenix, it was not impossible to artificially create a suitable Heaven and Earth Status in the future.

If it really came to that point, even if it were not an existing Unique Divine Beast, Li Zhangsheng had the confidence to create a new Unique Divine Beast; for example, creating a Heaven and Earth Status suitable for Aixi, which, after fusion, should become a Unique Divine Beast.

Soon, the backlash of the Heaven and Earth Status reached its peak, and the phoenix became increasingly painful, but it held on firmly, its phoenix eyes filled with perseverance, unyielding spirit, and stubbornness.

This time, Li Zhangsheng did not artificially cut off the phoenix's pain nerves, because he could feel that the phoenix could continue to persist and could completely rely on its own will to fuse with the Heaven and Earth Status.

Not long after, Li Zhangsheng finally breathed a sigh of relief, because the phoenix had held on through the most intense stage of the backlash, and from here on, it could be said to be stable.

There were no accidents; the Heaven and Earth Status finally stopped its backlash and successfully completed its fusion with the phoenix's core.

Only then did the brilliance on the phoenix's tail feathers finally add one more color, emitting an intense five-colored brilliance.
