496: Chapter 496 Bloodline Secret Techniques, Ancient Dragon Clan Invades

"Hahaha, Eagle Phoenix, don't scare him!"

Supreme Elder Kunhuang Kun Phoenix spoke sternly, a faint smile appearing on his cold face.

"Heh, he has some backbone; no wonder Qing'er is infatuated with you!" The Great Elder of the Phoenix Clan glanced at Hun Tiandi. "Although our Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan is a supreme existence among the magical beast families..."

"In the future, we might still have use for the Lord of the Dazheng Dynasty. Naturally, this seat will not subject you to the punishment of a thousand cuts."

"If I can establish good relations with the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan, I would naturally be pleased. May I ask why the seniors have summoned me here?"

Hun Tiandi felt a sense of relief in his heart and changed the subject.

The Great Elder of the Phoenix Clan exchanged looks with the two Supreme Elder Yinghuangs, Kun Phoenix and Eagle Phoenix. After a slight hesitation, he slowly spoke: "While the Clan Leader was receiving the empowerment, the three of us used the clan's Bloodline Secret Method and detected that Qing'er is pregnant..."

As the words fell, it was as if golden thunder from the nine heavens had struck out of the blue, making Hun Tiandi's scalp go numb.

Feng Qing'er's fair, pretty face was flushed with a rosy hue, her heart filled with unease.

In the purple bamboo house, the air instantly froze. Hun Tiandi was dumbstruck, while Feng Qing'er seemed to have known for a long time, her eyes staring deeply at him.

At this moment, regardless of how decisive and calculating Hun Tiandi was against powerful enemies in the outside world, he was now completely bewildered.

Slap!

With a look of disbelief, Hun Tiandi slapped his own face hard with his right hand, making a crisp sound.

Feng Qing'er is pregnant?

Staring blankly at Feng Qing'er, Hun Tiandi spoke with a dry throat: "Great Supreme Elder Yinghuang, could there be an error in the clan's secret method? After all, several years have passed since the events in the Beast Region."

"No. Our Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan is different from humans. The Heavenly Demon Phoenix bloodline within the Clan Leader is becoming increasingly pure, and it is extremely difficult for our clan to produce offspring."

"For a long time, to maintain the purity of the bloodline, the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan never intermarried with outsiders. However, as time passed, the Heavenly Demon Phoenix bloodline within our clan has been weakening."

"We have experimented with many methods, but none have been effective." The Great Supreme Elder of the Phoenix Clan shook his head.

"Indeed. This time the Clan Leader's pregnancy is an opportunity to see if the Heavenly Demon Phoenix bloodline can evolve..."

Eagle Phoenix said coldly, though excitement flickered in his eyes.

"If successful, our Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan will have a descendant with a mutated bloodline. For us, reproduction and inheritance are the top priorities; this concerns the prosperity of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan."

"In recent years, a powerful expert with the Dragon Phoenix bloodline has appeared in the Void Ancient Dragon Clan, posing a massive threat to the Heavenly Demon Phoenixes. If not for us three old fogies, the entire tribe might have been slaughtered."

At this point, a look of anticipation emerged on the Great Elder's face.

Hearing this, Hun Tiandi felt relaxed. The Phoenix Elder looked at Feng Qing'er and said: "Be careful in the future; don't take action unless absolutely necessary."

"Oh? Then how long will it take to give birth to the child?"

Hun Tiandi inquired. He could not stay with the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan all the time; he had a group of subordinates waiting for him outside.

"At the shortest, three to five years; at the longest, ten years," Kun Phoenix replied.

"The reason we invited you here is for the most important matter of the Heavenly Demon Phoenixes. The Heavenly Demon Phoenix bloodline is extremely powerful. During the gestation of the infant, many medicinal pills are needed for nourishment and to refine the bloodline."

"Once the infant is born, their talent will be immense, the bloodline will be perfectly inherited, and their potential will be limitless." The Great Elder looked at Hun Tiandi with a solemn expression.

"According to the clan's Bloodline Secret Method, it is divided into three levels. Different pills will result in different ways the infant is nurtured."

"The first level of the Bloodline Secret Method uses the Primordial Chaos Pill to nourish the infant. Without a massive stroke of luck in the future, their strength will stop at the Dou Huang level."

"The second level uses the Three-Tripod Yuan-Returning Pill, which allows the potential to reach the Dou Zong level."

"The third level uses the Nine Heavens Dragon Phoenix Pill. It is the most superior secret method and will..."

The Great Elder of the Phoenix Clan explained the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan's Bloodline Secret Methods one by one.

"I wonder which secret method was used for Feng Qing'er?" Hun Tiandi asked curiously.

"The second level!" The Great Elder smiled. "The Bloodline Secret Method is only the foundation. If there are opportunities in the future, the achievements can be even higher."

This would require even more effort.

Hun Tiandi took a deep look at Feng Qing'er and inhaled deeply. "Fine, I will handle the matter of the Bloodline Secret Method. How much time do I have?"

"Kid, you should think carefully. The second level of the secret method consumed many of the clan's natural treasures and required a high-tier Alchemist to spend a long time to complete. As for the third level..."

Kun Phoenix said coldly, his meaning clear: the third level was far more difficult.

"Especially the third level, the Nine Heavens Dragon Phoenix Pill. It requires not only the essence blood of a Void Ancient Dragon but also the essence blood of a Heavenly Demon Phoenix, supplemented by many thousand-year-old spirit herbs, and finally, it must be refined by a high-tier Tier 8 Alchemist..."

The Great Elder was extremely cautious as he looked at Hun Tiandi.

"Rest assured, since I have promised, I will not break my word. How much time is needed?" Hun Tiandi asked again.

"The most suitable window is only three years," the Great Elder stated.

"Understood, I agree! The pills will definitely be delivered within three years!" Hun Tiandi said firmly.

Hearing this, the Three Phoenixes of the Heavenly Demon Clan exchanged looks, all seeing the excitement in each other's eyes.

Feng Qing'er's jade-like hand inconspicuously caressed her lower abdomen, a glimmer of light in her eyes.

Rumble!

Suddenly, while Hun Tiandi and the Three Phoenixes were talking, a series of roars came from outside. Shouts of slaughter shook the heavens, and the energy of the world began to boil.

Ang! Yin!

The roars of dragons and cries of phoenixes echoed through the air. At this startling scene, Feng Qing'er, who had been sitting, turned cold.

She stood up abruptly, her eyes flickering with green and red light.

"What happened?"

"Reporting to the Clan Leader, the Void Ancient Dragon Clan is invading..." Just as Feng Qing'er displayed the majesty of a clan leader, Feng Yan arrived outside the purple bamboo house to report anxiously.

"Damn those Void Ancient Dragons! Pass my order: except for the elders in secluded meditation, order all elders to mobilize immediately and slay the invaders."

Feng Qing'er gave the order decisively, a murderous aura swirling around her.

"Yes, Clan Leader!" Feng Yan took the order and left. Feng Qing'er turned and bowed slightly to the Three Phoenixes before her figure flickered and vanished from the purple bamboo house.

On the square of the Yao Huang Hall!

Liu Ling and the Sword-Holding Elder, along with the other two, looked at each other, seeing the doubt in each other's eyes.

"Should we take action?" the Sword-Holding Elder asked calmly.

"Wait for His Majesty's orders!" Liu Ling and Mud Bodhisattva said slowly.

In the distance, a large area of lush, dense forest was being destroyed, crumbling and exploding. A pitch-black dragon with a purple sheen, nearly a thousand feet long, appeared.

It had black-purple scales the size of palms, a ferocious dragon head, and thick, powerful limbs.

The dragon's roar shook the firmament, and space became extremely distorted.

"Hahaha, little chicks of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan, this seat has come again to hunt you for a snack..." The dragon in mid-air spoke, radiating an incomparable dragon might.

The mockery was completely undisguised.

"Damn loach, stop your arrogance!" Suddenly, from within the Heavenly Demon Phoenix territory, a massive figure leaped into the air, transforming into a behemoth no smaller than the purple dragon.

Yin!

A phoenix cry shook the sky. A flash of light appeared as it transformed into a thousand-foot-long Heavenly Demon Phoenix true body in mid-air, with a dense murderous aura like a tide.

The feathers of its massive body were like steel needles, and its sharp claws were something even space could hardly endure.

A pair of green and red wings that seemed to cover the sky flapped, and as they did, a towering hurricane condensed in the sky, ravaging the world.
