The demon race descends, the fire phoenix spirit body

[Ding! The System has detected the Host presenting Ye Baixi with the Pseudo-Emperor-Ranked Dharma Technique, "Profound Yin Sword Art." One Hundredfold Return triggered.

Congratulations to the Host for obtaining the Pseudo-Saint-Ranked Dharma Technique: "Godslayer Sword Art!"

Returning to the manor.

Chen Yuan sat cross-legged in the small courtyard, which was already secured by a Shielding Formation.

He immediately issued an instruction to the System, "System, help me Cultivate the 'Godslayer Sword Canon' and the 'Godslayer Sword Art'."

[Received. Beginning Automatic Integration for the Host.]

Suddenly, the scene around Chen Yuan changed. When he opened his eyes, he saw a vast ocean.

Ahead, a woman wielding twin swords was locked in a fierce battle with a Yao Race mighty expert.

Both of them were actually in the Mahayana Stage.

Chen Yuan held his breath, observing the true meaning contained within the twin sword woman's swordplay.

The fire light on the swords was like the scorching flames of the blazing sun.

That was a Law—the Law of Fire Sword Dao.

The woman's moves were sharp. With the Law attached to her sword, the damage increased by more than ten thousand times, forcing the Yao Beast to retreat step by step.

Chen Yuan carefully comprehended the power of this Law.

To reach the Sword Dao Entering Saint Realm, one must comprehend one of the Five Elements Sword Dao Laws.

To reach the Sword Dao Entering God Realm, one must comprehend the complete Five Elements Sword Dao Laws.

Three years later, Chen Yuan slowly opened his eyes, and the ink string sword zither naturally appeared before him.

He opened the sword zither and took out the silver flood dragon sword. The moment the sword entered his hand, a Domain rose from beneath his feet.

Inside the Domain, firelight soared, seemingly capable of incinerating all races.

The woman in the Void Realm narrowed her eyes and casually summoned a Void Return Stage Great Yao, throwing it into his Domain.

The Void Return Stage Great Yao instantly burst into flames the moment it touched Chen Yuan's Domain. No matter what methods it used, it could not extinguish the scorching inferno on its body.

Chen Yuan's eyes narrowed. Star light shone beneath his feet, and he instantly appeared behind the Void Return Stage Great Yao, immediately thrusting his sword forward.

The rudimentary form of the Law of Fire Sword Dao attached itself to the sword body, instantly piercing its Physical Body.

"Ah... Human, damn you!"

The Void Return Stage Great Yao roared with unwilling rage.

Chen Yuan sheathed the sword back into the zither. The body of the Void Return Stage Great Yao crashed heavily onto the ground, lifeless, and slowly burned into ashes.

Chen Yuan's Sword Dao Realm has now officially reached the Half-step Saint Realm, or one could call him a Quasi Sword Saint.

Limited by his Cultivation Technique, he could only stop here for now.

"Not bad, not bad. You pierced through the defenses of a Yao Beast that even ordinary Void Return Stage Cultivators struggle to break. You live up to my name, Godslayer."

The cold, clear voice still echoed in Chen Yuan's ears, but the ethereal space had vanished, and Chen Yuan was back in the small courtyard.

"A woman actually uses 'Godslayer' as her title. Strange, strange."

Chen Yuan muttered to himself.

Next, he took out several Void Spirit Pills and began increasing his strength.

The Void Spirit Pill is a Medicinal Pill used by Void Return Dao Lords to increase their cultivation. For Chen Yuan, who possesses a Nine-inch Dantian, it was just enough.

These Void Spirit Pills were all returned by the System.

Previously, Chen Yuan had given away several Soul Transformation Storage Pouches, which contained spirit transformation pills. After the System detected this, it happened to trigger the One Hundredfold Return, resulting in the return of several Void Spirit Pills.

Enough for him to directly raise his cultivation to Mid-stage Spirit Transformation.

Chen Yuan sent a sound transmission to his Revered Master, Ye Baixi, Shen Ling, Lin Xue, and Liu Meier—the five of them—stating he would enter seclusion for half a month.

Afterward, he entered the quiet room to begin his seclusion.

North Land City, a small frontier city in the Far North Land.

Three black-robed figures suddenly descended into the Void Realm.

When the City Lord, True Monarch Zhuang He, sensed the three figures, his expression drastically changed. The leader's aura was clearly that of the Void Return Stage, while the other two were both in the Soul Transformation Stage.

Not only were the three figures incredibly powerful, but the waves of Origin Bloodline Power also made his scalp tingle.

They were the Yao Race. Not daring to delay, he quickly fled through a hidden underground room to seek reinforcements.

The black-robed Yao Beast leader did not stop Zhuang He from leaving. With a look of mockery, he gazed at the peaceful city below, then stretched out his right hand and slammed it down.

A bloody palm print descended from the sky.

"Boom!"

North Land City was instantly overturned. Bloody Evil Qi soared into the sky, leaving no survivors.

"Hahahaha, insignificant humans." The Void Return Stage Yao Emperor laughed hysterically.

[Foundation Establishment: Minor Yao,

Golden Core: Great Yao,

Nascent Soul: Yao King,

Soul Transformation: Yao Venerable,

Void Return: Yao Emperor,

Body Integration: Yao Saint,

Mahayana: Yao God,

Undergoing Tribulation: Yao Emperor.]

"Demon Venerable Lian Qing, Demon Venerable Lian Jie, I give you two three days to set up the Teleportation Formation. Lord Yao Saint said we must take the Far North Land within a month, or both you and I will lose our heads."

"Yes!" Demon Venerable Lian Qing and Demon Venerable Lian Jie immediately bowed and accepted the order.

The two Yao were personally selected by the Yao Saint. They possess the greatest Formation talent, and after secretly infiltrating the Nine Provinces for three thousand years, they have both become Fifth-rank Formation Masters, achieving great fame.

Unfortunately, the people of the Nine Provinces are unaware that Lian Qing and Lian Jie are actually Yao Beasts.

The Xuanling Continent is divided into five continents.

Northern Barbarian Continent, Southern Continent, Western Desert, Eastern Desolation, and Divine Province.

The territory occupied by the Yao Beasts is located in the north, the Northern Barbarian Continent, which borders the Eastern Desolation and faces the Western Desert and the Divine Province.

The Eastern Desolation and Northern Barbarian Continent have always been the main battleground for the Great War Between Humans and Yao.

The reason the Yao Race wants to capture the Far North Land is precisely because the Far North Land borders the Great Thousand Domain and the Nine Provinces.

Capturing the Far North Land allows them to directly seize the Nine Provinces to the west, and the Great Thousand Domain to the south.

Half a month of seclusion passed in the blink of an eye.

The door to the quiet room slowly opened, and Chen Yuan stepped out.

His aura was heavier than before his seclusion, having clearly reached Mid-stage Spirit Transformation!

The spiritual power within his Nine-inch Dantian surged like rivers, and his Yin Spirit became increasingly solid.

Just as he was carefully sensing the changes within himself, a strange fluctuation came from the System Space, accompanied by a faint "crack" sound.

Chen Yuan's mind stirred, and a giant egg, entirely crimson and inscribed with Phoenix patterns, appeared before him.

This was precisely what he had obtained from the dying Lingxu Demon Phoenix in the Secret Realm earlier.

At this moment, this Yao Phoenix egg, which had been dormant for a long time, was vibrating violently. The Phoenix patterns on the eggshell surface flowed with crimson radiance as if alive, and surging life force was ready to burst forth.

"Is it about to hatch?" A trace of anticipation flashed in Chen Yuan's eyes.

He was curious what the offspring of the Lingxu Demon Phoenix would be like.

Not daring to be careless, he immediately waved his hand and set up several layers of powerful shielding and Protective Formations to isolate the outside world.

The Lingxu Demon Phoenix possesses a top-tier Yao Race Bloodline. There would certainly be unusual phenomena when it broke its shell, and not a single trace could be leaked.

"Crack—!"

With a sharp sound, a small hole cracked open at the top of the eggshell. A crimson-gold beam of light shot into the sky, striking the Formation barrier and causing ripples across the light shield!

Immediately afterward, a scorching yet pure flame aura spread out.

"Chirp—!"

An exceptionally clear cry came from inside the egg.

The eggshell completely shattered, and an extraordinarily divine chick appeared before Chen Yuan.

Its body was only palm-sized, covered in light gold fuzz that faintly shimmered with crimson radiance.

Its pair of eyes were like crimson gemstones.

"This is... not an ordinary Lingxu Demon Phoenix!"

Chen Yuan observed carefully, a look of astonishment in his eyes.

Because the Law of Fire Sword Dao that he currently grasped had advanced slightly, and it even resonated with the little fellow.

"Such pure Fire Origin, naturally close to the Dao Laws... could this be the legendary 'Fire Phoenix Spirit Body'?"
