170: Chapter 170 Heavenly Demon Phoenix Bloodline, Elder Dan's Sensation
Boom... The lightning strikes continued. Black Demon Lightning, Sharp Metal Lightning... every single one was a bolt of lightning containing formidable power.
The energy contained within each strike was enough to severely injure a peak Dou Huang expert, and in dangerous cases, could even blast them into smithereens.
These powerful lightning bolts, however, were unable to shake the bluestone before them; it kept devouring the lightning's power, growing stronger by the moment.
Crack! After the lightning had continued for a quarter of an hour and failed to destroy the bluestone, the lightning surged. A golden bolt of Nine Heavens Profound Lightning tore through the sky, pierced the defensive light barrier, and struck the bluestone directly.
Boom! The bluestone erupted with monstrous jade light. Tiny fragments fell away as the jade light surged, illuminating the entire valley fissure and flowing to form a vortex.
The vortex was nearly a thousand zhang wide, resembling the massive maw of a gluttonous beast, swallowing the heavenly tribulation above whole.
"A great treasure, absolutely a great treasure. If I can obtain it, attaining the rank of Dou Di would be effortless."
The surging jade light left Hun Tiandi's vision completely blank; he could see nothing.
After a loud bang, the lightning in the sky ceased.
Joy surged in his heart; how could he not know that the treasure had been born? A desire to possess this great treasure welled up within him, screaming incessantly in his mind.
Suddenly, the white light before his eyes dissipated, and the overwhelming jade light vanished in the blink of an eye, as if it had never appeared.
"Is this the divine object born from the bluestone?"
Hun Tiandi was dumbfounded. Before him lay a rectangular piece of jade, two meters long, emitting no light whatsoever; it was flawless and perfectly formed.
The flowing jade light made it impossible to put down; it was a rare, peerless piece of jade. A divine object of heaven and earth, a peerless jade embryo!
Standing up, Hun Tiandi ignored his injuries and quickly approached the beautiful jade, placing his palm upon the jade embryo as a glimmer of light appeared in his eyes.
"A strange feeling!"
Although he could not sense any power from the jade embryo, he detected a faint connection between himself and it.
As he stroked it, a joyous aura emanated from the jade embryo, flowing into his heart.
"This jade embryo is definitely no ordinary piece of jade. Although I cannot perceive it now, that terrifying power from before proves it is at least not an ordinary object."
"Could it be that it failed the heavenly tribulation and was destroyed?"
Elder Dan looked at the jade embryo in surprise. It was born from the bluestone, so why couldn't he feel any energy from it? It was no different from ordinary jade.
The final golden profound lightning bolt had been extremely terrifying; even a Dou Zun expert would not be able to withstand it. It was simply too frightening.
Probing with soul power, it felt like just a piece of ordinary jade, and the thought that it had been destroyed by the lightning emerged in his mind.
"Hehehe, this is the true treasure!"
Hun Tiandi firmly believed it was a treasure and stored it in his storage ring. He had suffered great injuries from the bluestone's backlash earlier.
He began to consume medicinal pills to heal his injuries. Elder Dan's voice echoed in his mind: "The previous heavenly tribulation will surely attract experts from the Central Plains to investigate. I fear it won't be long before they arrive; leaving Fallen God Stream is imminent."
He closed his eyes to cultivate and nourish his injuries; this time, he had been hurt quite badly.
Recently, Hun Tiandi had been getting injured often, and he sighed inwardly, wondering if his previous cultivation had been too smooth and the heavens couldn't stand it.
A day later, his injuries had recovered to fifty percent of his combat strength. Without further delay, with Elder Dan's assistance, he flew out of the valley fissure.
After wandering for half a day, Elder Dan asked with a question in his tone.
"What is it, Teacher?" Hun Tiandi frowned; it seemed Elder Dan had discovered something.
"To the southwest, about seven miles away, there is a sense of familiarity!" Elder Dan pondered slightly before speaking.
Hearing this, Hun Tiandi turned his head to look, moved his feet, and sped toward the directed path.
Screech!
Suddenly, a majestic and noble phoenix cry rang out from the southwest. Lying on the ground was none other than Feng Qianyou; her lips were cracked, she was covered in blood, her bones were broken, and she was severely injured.
A faint, nine-colored light flowed over her body, manifesting a massive phoenix phantom upon her.
This phoenix phantom was pitch-black, giving one an extremely eerie feeling.
It radiated a mysterious power, blocking the erosion of the nine poisons. After the time it takes to burn an incense stick, Hun Tiandi arrived. A pair of sharp phoenix eyes stared fixedly at him.
A powerful and eerie pressure descended from the sky. Under this pressure, the surrounding heaven and earth energy seemed to become chaotic, and a grave voice transmitted into his mind.
Hun Tiandi stared at the massive black phoenix phantom, feeling a chill run through his whole body.
So, this Feng Qianyou from the Pill Tower was not human. Her true form was actually a Magical Beast, though it was his first time seeing a Magical Beast with such powerful pressure.
"This is... the Heavenly Demon Phoenix bloodline?" At this moment, Elder Dan's voice rang out in his mind, shaking Hun Tiandi, whose gaze sharpened as he stared at the black phantom.
"The top existence of the Magical Beast families, a descendant of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix clan; how could she enter the Pill Tower to cultivate?" Hun Tiandi asked.
Elder Dan immediately drifted out, his cloudy eyes gazing at the phantom before him. Surprisingly, he felt a sense of familiarity toward the woman lying on the ground on the verge of death.
"This woman should be the offspring of a human and someone from the Heavenly Demon Phoenix clan, possessing both human and Magical Beast bloodlines." Elder Dan spoke, his heart filled with more questions; this woman had some connection to him.
Screech!
Suddenly, a sorrowful phoenix cry rang out. The massive pitch-black phoenix phantom gradually condensed its size and retracted back into her body.
After the phantom disappeared, a trace of nine-colored light appeared on Feng Qianyou's beautiful face, spreading throughout her body, while her wounds turned pitch-black and foul-smelling.
"The supreme poison has entered her body?" Hun Tiandi's expression sank; he had not expected that she, too, had failed to escape.
"Young Master Yun, save her!" Elder Dan spoke gravely. He felt some familiarity toward this young girl, and even felt a flutter in his heart; if he did not intervene to save Feng Qianyou, he would regret it for the rest of his life.
Hearing this, Hun Tiandi looked at Elder Dan. From his inner thoughts, he was unwilling to save a woman who had wanted to kill him, even if this woman was exceptionally beautiful. But since Elder Dan had spoken, he could not refuse.
Roar...
Immediately, he waved his large sleeve, and the ten thousand soul banner appeared in the sky. Flicking his finger, a weak dragon roar sounded as it emerged from the banner.
It had a massive body, and its voice contained an extremely weak sensation. It was the second main demon soul of the ten thousand soul banner, the beast soul Nine-Headed Poison Dragon Emperor. Its nine hideous heads swayed, and its whole body radiated malevolent, ferocious energy.
Under his control, the Nine-Headed Poison Dragon Emperor lowered its massive head and inhaled sharply, extracting wisps of the nine-colored deadly poison from Feng Qianyou's body.
Ah...
As the poison left her body, Feng Qianyou couldn't help but moan. A trace of rosiness returned to her pale, beautiful face.
"Fortunately, it was only a wisp of the nine-colored deadly poison; otherwise, even the Nine-Headed Poison Dragon Emperor's beast soul would not be able to extract it, unless the Nine-Headed Poison Dragon Emperor were resurrected." Hun Tiandi said softly, then continued to urge the beast soul of the ten thousand soul banner to keep extracting the supreme poison.
An hour later, Hun Tiandi finally completely cleared the supreme poison from Feng Qianyou's body. If it had been one of his own supreme poisons, there would be no way to extract it using this method.
If it were possible, Hun Tiandi would have done it long ago; the Samsara Sealed Supreme Poison was, after all, a ticking time bomb that could detonate at any moment.
Hun Tiandi put away the ten thousand soul banner and casually beckoned. Feng Qianyou's delicate body flew into the air and landed before him. Given these injuries, since he had already intervened, he would do it perfectly.
Crack!
Hun Tiandi roughly snapped the broken leg bone back into place. With a crisp crack, the movement was clean and decisive, without the slightest hesitation.
"Ah... You bastard..."
