Chapter 433 Ancient Bloodlines Emerge Simultaneously! The Entire Audience Goes Wild!

Jiang Yun's voice was not loud.

One could even say it was as calm as a light breeze.

However, when these words fell into the ears of everyone in the Spirit Sealing Hall, they were like a thunderclap exploding in their minds, making everyone's scalps tingle with numbness.

The entire Spirit Sealing Hall...

...fell into a deathly silence.

This silence lasted for a full three breaths.

Then.

Boom!

The entire hall was like a ladle of cold water poured into a pot of boiling oil, instantly exploding into a frenzy!

"What?!"

"What did Great Master Dong Xuan say?!"

"He said... he said he has two beasts! And both of them possess Ancient Bloodlines of the fire attribute and wind attribute respectively?!"

"How is this possible! How is this even possible!!"

A white-haired Elder of the Liu Family was trembling all over. He pointed a finger at Jiang Yun, his finger shaking like a withered branch in the wind.

"Grand Tutor Dongxuan... You, you're not joking, are you? Beasts with Ancient Bloodlines—those are Ancient Bloodlines!"

"That's right! Looking at the entire Human Race, who among those who possess a single Ancient Bloodline beast isn't a world-shaking overlord-level figure?"

"Our Liu Family exhausted the power of the entire clan and a thousand years of accumulation just to find one Nether Phoenix! Great Master Dong Xuan actually has two by himself?!"

As soon as these words were spoken.

The entire audience gasped once again.

Two!

Two beasts with Ancient Bloodlines!

What kind of concept was this?

A single Ancient Bloodline beast was enough for a Family to nurture with all their might, becoming a guardian Divine Beast that suppressed the clan's fortune.

Two of them were already the core foundation of those first-class families in the Central State.

Everyone present didn't even dare to think about what this meant.

"Impossible... absolutely impossible..."

Someone in the crowd had a face as pale as iron.

Their lips quivered as they muttered to themselves.

They didn't dare believe it.

"This is f*cking... comparing people is truly infuriating!"

Someone cursed in a low voice.

Their tone was full of bitterness and resentment.

"We can't even get a single beast with a decent Bloodline, yet he has two all by himself..."

"The heavens are far too biased!"

Some of the younger Liu Family disciples showed even more bitter expressions, their eyes full of complexity as they looked at Jiang Yun.

They had grown up in the Liu Family and enjoyed the resources of a hidden Family. They originally thought their own beast configurations were already top-tier.

But compared to the person before them, it was simply like a firefly competing with the bright moon.

Not only was his path of formations stronger than a Grand Tutor Level Formation Master, and his rune attainments higher than a Grand Tutor Level Rune Master, but now even his beast Bloodlines crushed them by eighteen streets!

How was anyone else supposed to live!

Great Master Master Fu Shan and Old Mo looked at each other, both seeing an irrepressible shock in the other's eyes.

At their age, they had seen geniuses as numerous as crucian carp crossing a river; there weren't many things left that could make them lose their composure.

But at this moment, they were truly and genuinely shocked once again.

Great Master Master Fu Shan took a deep breath, his aged voice carrying a hint of a tremor.

"Little friend... no, Grand Tutor Dongxuan, this old man ventures to ask, are the wind and fire Ancient Bloodline beasts you mentioned both... genuine Ancient Divine Beast Bloodlines? Rather than just collateral Bloodlines?"

There was shock in his eyes.

But more than that, there was a thirst for knowledge.

He didn't disbelieve Jiang Yun.

It was just that this matter was far too shocking; he needed confirmation.

Old Mo also said in a heavy voice, "Possessing two Ancient Bloodline beasts—looking back at nearly a thousand years of human history, perhaps only a handful of people have been able to achieve this. Grand Tutor Dongxuan is indeed... of extraordinary origins."

He didn't finish his sentence.

But everyone heard the unspoken meaning in his words.

This Grand Tutor Dongxuan's background likely far exceeded their previous imaginations.

A first-class Family from the Central State?

Or some ancient hidden Sect?

Or even...

They didn't dare think further.

Elder Liu Lan stood in the crowd, her delicate body under her water-blue dress trembling slightly.

Her beautiful eyes stared fixedly at Jiang Yun, her red lips slightly parted, yet she couldn't say a single word.

At the beginning.

She only thought he was a Prodigy Appraiser, and his attainments in formations and runes had also shocked her into silence.

But now.

She only felt that this youth wearing the silver mask was simply like a bottomless abyss.

You would never know what trump card he would pull out in the next moment.

Liu Qingyun was similarly dumbstruck.

Even as the Head of the Liu Family and an Eclipsing Moon Rank high-tier expert, he felt an indescribable pressure from Jiang Yun at this moment.

It was the awe of a superior facing the unknown.

He forcibly suppressed the shock in his heart and took a deep breath, his voice even trembling slightly.

"Little friend Dong Xuan, are these words... are these words true?"

His tone was full of caution, for fear that Jiang Yun would say he was joking.

"Do you really have two beasts with wind and fire attribute Ancient Bloodlines respectively?"

Jiang Yun remained in that calm and relaxed manner.

He nodded slightly, his tone as calm as if he were speaking of a trivial matter.

"Patriarch Liu, this concerns the success or failure of the soul crystal activation; how could I joke about such a matter?"

"These two beasts were nurtured by me personally."

"wind attribute and fire attribute, without the slightest error."

Every word of his fell clearly into everyone's ears.

Liu Qingyun's body shook, and the wild joy in his eyes could no longer be suppressed as it surged up.

He subconsciously looked at the several Elders behind him.

The sparks of hope were ignited in everyone's eyes.

And during this process, a gaze that had remained cold was also quietly watching Jiang Yun.

Liu Ruyan's ice-blue eyes were currently staring unblinkingly at the youth wearing the silver mask opposite her.

Her face still bore that calm expression, but stormy waves had already risen in her heart.

Two Ancient Bloodline beasts?

No one knew better than she how great a price the Liu Family had paid to find her Nether Phoenix.

Just to find the Nether Phoenix hatchling, nearly half of the Liu Family's Elders and Grand Elders were mobilized, taking a full several hundred years.

And that was just the search.

The subsequent nurturing, contracting, and resource investment were even more astronomical figures.

Yet this Jiang Yun before her lightly said he had two Ancient Bloodline beasts.

And that they were nurtured by him personally?

This guy... what exactly was his background?

She didn't doubt him.

She disdained to doubt.

She was just curious.

Curious about how many secrets were still hidden within this youth who was even younger than her.

Just then.

Jiang Yun raised his hand and snapped his fingers.

"Little Fire, come out."

His voice was still calm, without any deliberate emphasis.

But it was precisely this casual tone that made him seem even more unfathomable.

Buzz!!!

As the words fell.

A golden light gate appeared out of thin air in the Spirit Sealing Hall.

As soon as the light gate appeared, a wave of heat so extreme that it reached the limit swept out from within, as if some terrifying primordial beast was Awakening on the other side of the gate.

The temperature of the entire Spirit Sealing Hall...

...rose by dozens of degrees in an instant!

Immediately following that was—

"Crash!"

A stream of water.

The sound of a heavy and majestic water flow came from the light gate.

Clearly, the figure of the beast had not yet been seen, but that water vapor had already filled the entire hall.

The air became moist yet incredibly scorching, as if one were standing at a volcanic crater deep under the sea.

Water and fire blending, Yin and Yang complementing each other!

This contradictory sensory experience made everyone present involuntarily hold their breath.

"Water and fire..."

"Could it be a dual water-fire attribute?"

"No! There is fire in this water, and water in the fire!"

"This aura... my god!"

Before everyone could react.

"Roar!!!"

A dragon roar that shook the Nine Heavens suddenly erupted from the light gate!

That dragon roar was not an ordinary howl, but carried a domineering will that made all things submit!

It was as if a Divine Dragon above the Nine Heavens had opened its golden dragon eyes, looking down upon the ants and myriad spirits below.

Everywhere the sound wave passed, the walls of the Spirit Sealing Hall trembled slightly, and the three thousand six hundred soul runes were shaken into lighting up simultaneously, emitting a buzzing resonant sound.

Some Liu Family disciples with lower cultivation felt their legs go weak, nearly collapsing to the ground.

"Dragon roar!!"

"This is a dragon roar!"

"Heavens! Could it be a True Dragon!"

Under the gaze of everyone who was shocked to the extreme, a massive creature slowly swam out from the light gate.

A massive body, covered in a layer of glittering golden dragon scales, each scale reflecting a dazzling divine radiance under the light within the hall.

Faint golden flames burned upon the scales, the flames and water vapor entangling, continuously circulating between water and fire, forming wheels of brilliant anomalous light.

Its form was already infinitely close to a True Dragon.

The slender dragon body, the majestic dragon head, and the dragon claws beneath its belly—though still in a transitional state between claws and fins—the cold light glinting off those dragon claws was already enough to tear through space.

The dragon head was held high, with two small coral-like dragon horns growing in a spiral on its head, the tips of the horns surrounded by a misty aura of intertwined golden flames and water mist.

A pair of majestic golden dragon eyes were coldly scanning the entire field.

Those who were swept by its gaze felt their hearts skip a beat.

This was not an ordinary flood dragon.

This was a True Dragon that was evolving toward the direction of a True Dragon!

"True... True Dragon! It's a True Dragon species!"

"Impossible! This is a genuine True Dragon Bloodline beast!"

"A dual water-fire attribute True Dragon! My god!"

"These scales, these dragon horns, this Dragon Might... it's exactly the same as the True Dragons recorded in ancient texts!"

"This is too incredible! Grand Tutor Dongxuan actually has a True Dragon Beast!"

The entire Spirit Sealing Hall was in a total boil.

Everyone was so excited they were unable to contain themselves.

And just then.

Boom!

Little Fire's pair of majestic dragon eyes suddenly narrowed.

A vast True Dragon aura that made the entire space tremble erupted from its body like a volcanic eruption!

That golden Dragon Might transformed into a visible golden pillar of light, shooting straight toward the hall's ceiling.

Within the light pillar, a hazy phantom of a vast dragon could be seen, baring its fangs and brandishing its claws, swallowing clouds and spitting mist—that was the True Dragon will imprinted in the deepest part of the Bloodline!

The pressure of a primordial True Dragon overwhelmed everything in all directions.

"Ugh!"

Wait!!!!

"This is True Dragon pressure!!"

The dozens of Meteor-level Liu Family Elders present actually retreated half a step in unison under this True Dragon pressure!

Their faces were flushed, and the circulation of Beast Taming Power within their bodies became sluggish; they were almost unable to sense the beasts in their Beast Taming Spaces!

This was Bloodline suppression!

The Bloodline suppression of a True Dragon over any beast!

With only a Peak Gold Rank 9 Realm, it actually made Meteor-level experts feel pressure!

If talking about combat power, this True Dragon species might not yet be a match for Meteor-level experts.

But if talking about the purity and dominance of the Bloodline.

Not a single person's beast among everyone present could compare to it!

And the most shocking thing was still to come.

"Caw!"

A low wail of sorrow.

It came from behind Liu Ruyan.

Everyone's eyes simultaneously shifted over, and then they all gasped in unison.

They saw that Liu Ruyan's Purple Crystal Ninth Rank Peak Nether Phoenix was actually...

...retreating!

Its pair of pitch-black phoenix wings were trembling slightly, its phoenix head lowered; that previous aura of an ancient Nether Phoenix looking down on the world had vanished without a trace, replaced by deep dread.

It was afraid.

A Purple Crystal Ninth Rank Peak Ancient Nether Phoenix was afraid of a Gold Rank Nine beast!

"How is this possible!"

"The Nether Phoenix is actually shaking!"

"A Purple Crystal Ninth Rank Peak is afraid of a Gold Rank Nine! Who can tell me what's going on!"

An old man muttered lost in thought, "This is the gap in Bloodline levels... Although the Nether Phoenix is strong, it is ultimately a collateral Divine Beast Bloodline. The only thing in the world that can be mentioned in the same breath as the True Dragon Bloodline is the orthodox phoenix blood!"

"Between the Nether Phoenix and the True Dragon, there lies a chasm of Bloodline!"

The truth was revealed in a single sentence.

The whole place was in an uproar again.

Liu Ruyan's delicate body trembled imperceptibly.

For the first time, a look of emotion appeared on her cold, ice-like face.

She looked at her Nether Phoenix.

The Nether Phoenix that had accompanied her since childhood and was proud to the point of arrogance was actually cowering at this moment.

Cowering before a Gold Rank Nine beast.

Cowering before that aura of looking down on the world...

She slowly turned her head, her gaze falling once again on the youth wearing the silver mask.

This guy...

His beast's Bloodline...

...was actually stronger than her Nether Phoenix's?

She had always thought that among her peers, her Nether Phoenix was already an existence with no equal.

Even among the Core Disciples nurtured with all the strength of those first-class families in the provincial capital, there were not many who could possess a beast of the Nether Phoenix's level.

But now...

The Nether Phoenix she was so proud of didn't even have the courage to stand before this True Dragon.

The impact of this on her was undoubtedly massive.

"True Dragon Bloodline... no wonder..."

Liu Qingyun muttered, his voice full of disbelief.

"No wonder little friend Dong Xuan was so certain he could awaken the soul crystal. With just this True Dragon Bloodline beast, the matching degree for the fire attribute can be called perfect!"

Great Master Master Fu Shan was also nodding incessantly, a sharp light bursting from his cloudy eyes.

"Good! Good! What a fine Golden-Scaled True Dragon! This old man has lived for so long, yet this is the first time I've seen a living True Dragon Bloodline beast!"

"It's not just you."

Old Mo took a deep breath, his withered fingers trembling slightly.

"This old man has lived for nearly four hundred years, and I have seen only three True Dragon species, and those three were all sub-dragon species with extremely thin Bloodlines. To see one like this before us, which is already infinitely close to a True Dragon's form... it is the first time in my life!"

"Grand Tutor Dongxuan... you truly were hiding your light under a bushel!"

Elder Liu Lan stood there, her legs under her water-blue dress feeling a bit weak.

She finally understood now.

Why Jiang Yun had always appeared so fearless when he was in Black Rock City.

With such a dual water-fire attribute True Dragon species beast, the power behind him could well be imagined...

"Wait! This is only the first one!"

Someone suddenly cried out in alarm.

This voice caused the boiling crowd to instantly quiet down a bit.

Only then did everyone remember.

That's right!

This was only the first one!

Grand Tutor Dongxuan had said there were two!

The first one was a beast with a True Dragon Bloodline; what would the second one be?!

"My god... the first one is already so fierce, how much worse could the second one be?"

"The fire attribute one is a True Dragon... what about the wind attribute? An avian Ancient Divine Beast that can stand on equal footing with a True Dragon..."

"It would probably have to be even rarer than a True Dragon..."

"Could it be a Nine Heavens Kunpeng? Or a Primordial Void-Rending Mysterious Bird?"

Everyone began to speculate, their eyes burning as they looked at Jiang Yun.

There was no longer a single trace of doubt in their eyes, replaced instead by frantic anticipation.

Liu Qingyun, Liu Ruyan, Great Master Master Fu Shan, Old Mo, Elder Liu Lan... all the core figures present focused their gazes on Jiang Yun.

They were waiting.

Waiting for Jiang Yun to summon that second beast with an Ancient Bloodline.

In this atmosphere of being the center of attention, Jiang Yun remained in that calm and relaxed manner.

He even felt it was a bit funny in his heart.

They were shocked by just this?

It was just Little Fire, who hadn't even completed its second evolution, yet it had shocked these people into such a state.

If he let them see an Ancient Divine Beast Bloodline as rare as the Nether Abyss dark attribute, wouldn't they go directly insane?

He wasn't surprised by everyone's reaction.

After all, for others, finding a beast with an Ancient Bloodline was no different from looking for a needle in a haystack.

But for him, who possessed the Entry Manifestation talent, it was easy.

As long as his Entry talent swept over them, any beast's secrets had nowhere to hide.

Even the most deeply hidden, minute Bloodline could be accurately captured by him.

Little Skylark was the most typical example.

When he first discovered it, its Ancient Wind-Thunder Divine Peng Bloodline was so thin it was almost undetectable.

If Entry Manifestation hadn't given a clear prompt, who would have noticed that this ordinary bird's body actually hid the Bloodline of an Ancient Divine Beast?

After his meticulous cultivation and a successful evolution, Little Skylark's Bloodline aura had become extremely vast and powerful, and it had even awakened a divine skill related to its Bloodline.

Divine Roc True Form.

This was the Heaven-Defying nature of Entry Manifestation.

Jiang Yun withdrew his thoughts, his gaze sweeping over the expectant faces of everyone present, the corners of his mouth curling slightly.

He didn't keep them in suspense any longer.

He raised his hand and snapped his fingers again.

"Little Skylark, come out."

His voice was still calm, as if he were summoning a Common beast.

But everyone was staring intently at the light gate slowly opening in front of Jiang Yun.

Buzz!!!

A second summoning light gate blossomed within the Spirit Sealing Hall.

Unlike the overwhelming flood and fire when Little Fire appeared, as soon as this light gate opened, two completely different yet perfectly blended powers surged out from within.

First was the wind.

A sharp wind!

The sound of the wind was like thousands of blades cutting through space, howling out with a sharp intent to tear everything apart.

Faintly mixed within the wind was the roar of the Nine Heavens Astral Wind, as if the other end of the light gate was connected to an endless eye of a storm.

Then came the thunder.

Thunderbolts of extreme dominance!

Purple electric arcs jumped out from the light gate, crackling and tearing small spatial rifts in the air.

The sound of thunder made the entire hall tremble slightly; it was the roar of the Thunder of Heavenly Punishment, carrying a terrifying intent to destroy all things.

Wind and thunder entwined and resonated with each other, forming a spectacular Wind-Thunder vortex around the light gate, as if a Heavenly Tribulation had descended!

"Dual wind and thunder attributes!"

"This time it's a dual wind and thunder attribute avian!"

"Good heavens! This aura... this pressure!"

Under the bated breath of the crowd, a vigorous figure flew out from the light gate with wings spread.

It was an avian with a wingspan of nearly twelve meters.

Its form was slender and vigorous, its body covered in a layer of silver-gray feathers, with the tip of each feather shimmering with pale purple lightning.

The most eye-catching feature was its pair of wings.

The wingspan was broad, and the wing surfaces were covered with ancient Wind-Thunder patterns, as if they were Law imprints carved by the uncanny workmanship of nature.

Three purple plumes stood high atop its head, swaying with the wind and scattering bits of lightning like a monarch's crown tassels.

A pair of sharp golden eyes looked down upon the crowd, its gaze carrying the Divine Might and majesty of a Divine Beast that looked down on all things.

The wings of the firmament had already merged with it during an evolution. At this moment, it didn't even need to flap its wings; the Wind-Thunder power naturally emanating from its body was already cutting visible vacuum cracks in the surrounding air.

Its appearance was indeed excellent.

Little Skylark's entrance was equally extraordinary.

However.

Compared to the earth-shaking appearance of Little Fire, Little Skylark's aura did indeed seem much more restrained.

After all, it didn't possess the overtly domineering True Dragon Bloodline like Little Fire, nor did it have the Bloodline of a Nether Abyss Divine Beast flowing within it like Nether Abyss.

It simply hovered quietly in mid-air, surrounded by Wind-Thunder power, like a monarch watching coldly from the sidelines.

"This is the second one?"

"This... it looks rather ordinary."

"Yeah, although its appearance is indeed handsome and its size is over ten meters, this aura..."

"Compared to that True Dragon just now, it's far too lacking, isn't it?"

"A Realm of Gold Rank Eight... that's acceptable, but to say it's an ancient Bloodline beast, this aura is too weak..."

Whispers began to rise among the crowd.

Some young members of the Liu Family showed looks of disappointment.

They had thought the second one would be on the same level as that True Dragon, at least having a sense of pressure that ruled the world upon appearance.

But this avian before them, while good-looking, was far from the shock they had expected.

"Could there be a mistake?"

"This one looks decent, and dual wind and thunder attributes are indeed rare, but compared to an ancient Divine Beast Bloodline..."

"Shh, keep it down. Don't forget the lesson of being slapped in the face just now!"

Though the voices of doubt weren't loud, they were certainly present.

However, experienced people didn't see it that way.

Great Master Master Fu Shan and Old Mo, the old partners, looked at each other again.

Although neither spoke, they read the same message in each other's eyes.

Something was wrong.

This avian was not right.

A Realm of Gold Rank Eight was indeed not high, and its aura was indeed restrained, but that was precisely the most abnormal part.

Could a truly Common avian beast be so composed under the full coverage of Little Fire's True Dragon pressure?

Could it remain motionless under the impact of the Nether Phoenix's ancient Bloodline aura?

More importantly.

As a Formation Master and a Rune Master, the two old men's perception abilities far exceeded those of ordinary Beast Tamers.

They clearly sensed a dormant, terrifying power within this avian.

That power was wrapped in layers of Seals, like an unexploded ancient runestone—ordinary on the outside, but containing world-destroying power within.

Great Master Master Fu Shan narrowed his eyes slightly.

Old Mo gently stroked his long beard.

Both chose to remain silent and did not offer any opinion.

Because they saw...

Jiang Yun's face was still as calm as a breeze.

This youth wasn't flustered at all.

That meant this avian was by no means simple.

Liu Qingyun was also frowning deeply.

As a high-stage Eclipsing Moon Rank expert, his perception far surpassed the others.

He carefully examined the avian in mid-air, calculating silently in his heart.

This avian's aura...

Was very special, extremely special.

That Wind-Thunder power was incredibly pure, so pure it didn't seem like something an ordinary beast could possess.

Moreover, the degree to which this aura was restrained didn't seem natural; instead, it seemed like the Bloodline was in a suppressed state.

There was only one explanation for this situation.

Some kind of not-yet-fully-awakened ancient Bloodline lay dormant within this avian.

It was like a sealed thousand-foot abyss, calm on the surface but bottomless within.

Liu Qingyun narrowed his eyes slightly.

"This avian... is likely not simple either."

"But exactly what kind of avian Divine Beast Bloodline could possess such dual wind and thunder attributes?"

He quickly went through the ancient avian Divine Beasts he knew in his mind.

Kunpeng, Void-Rending Black Bird, Nine-Rotation Wind-Thunder Falcon, Primordial Azure Luan...

Every single one was a Legendary existence.

But before seeing the manifested form of the Bloodline aura, he didn't dare to jump to conclusions.

Liu Ruyan was also observing.

Her ice-blue eyes stared at Little Skylark without blinking. Her face remained expressionless, but a trace of doubt rose in her heart.

This avian... looked somewhat ordinary no matter how she viewed it.

While its dual wind and thunder attribute Aptitude was indeed good, to say it had an ancient Divine Beast Bloodline?

Her brow furrowed slightly.

However.

Just then, she suddenly felt something.

It was an extremely subtle emotional fluctuation transmitted through her natal contract with the Nether Phoenix.

It was wariness.

The Nether Phoenix was wary again!

Liu Ruyan's pupils shrank suddenly, and she whipped her head around to look at the Nether Phoenix behind her.

She saw the Nether Phoenix's dark phoenix eyes were locked onto Little Skylark. Its wings were slightly tightened, and its claws unconsciously gripped the ground beneath its feet, looking as if it were facing a great enemy.

This posture was exactly the same as when it faced the True Dragon just now!

Liu Ruyan's heart skipped a beat.

Her Nether Phoenix was actually afraid of this seemingly ordinary-looking avian?

At that moment.

Jiang Yun spoke.

The corner of his mouth curled slightly, and his voice remained calm, yet it carried an unquestionable certainty.

"Little Skylark."

"Activate Divine Roc True Form."

"Release your Bloodline aura and show it to them."

As soon as he finished speaking.

In mid-air, Little Skylark's golden eyes suddenly lit up.

Then.

Boom!!!

A Wind-Thunder power so violent it caused the entire space to tremble violently surged out from Little Skylark's body like an ancient volcano that had been dormant for ten thousand years suddenly erupting!

Purple lightning and silver-green astral winds intertwined, turning into a thousand-foot-high Wind-Thunder pillar of light that shot straight towards the hall's ceiling!

Within the light pillar!!!

An indescribably massive phantom was slowly condensing.

First to appear was a pair of wings.

Wings that blotted out the sky!

The wingspan was nearly a hundred zhang wide, covered in ancient primordial patterns, each pattern shimmering with the power of the Wind-Thunder Law of destruction.

With a gentle shake of the wings, wind and thunder roared together, and space was torn apart!

Then came a bird's head.

A bird's head as majestic as an emperor's!

Nine purple divine feathers stood tall on its forehead, like the nine tassels of a monarch's crown.

The eyes were pure gold, with storms and thunder reflected in the pupils, as if all the wind and thunder in the world surrendered beneath these eyes.

Then came a pair of sharp claws.

Claws that could tear the heavens and split the earth!

Each claw was as thick as three people combined, and the tips of the claws glinted with a cold light that tore through space, as if a gentle squeeze could turn mountains and rivers into dust.

Finally, there was the body.

A body of peerless Divine Might!

The entire body was covered in purple and silver divine feathers, each feather naturally forming a manifestation of Wind-Thunder power.

The body was surrounded by a never-ending lightning storm, as if this phantom itself were a walking world of wind and thunder!

Ancient Wind-Thunder Divine Peng!

This was the Divine Beast that dominated the skies of ten thousand worlds during the primordial era!!!

The True Body phantom of the Ancient Wind-Thunder Divine Peng!

Rumble!!!

The moment this phantom fully took shape, Little Skylark's aura suddenly surged to an appalling level.

If Little Skylark was a dormant primordial runestone before, then now the runestone had completely detonated!

A vast, suffocating ancient Divine Beast Bloodline pressure crushed in all directions like the Nine Heavens Milky Way pouring down upside down.

That Wind-Thunder-intertwined Divine Might was almost tangible, pressing the air until it made an overburdened creaking sound.

The intensity of this Bloodline pressure was actually not the least bit weaker than the True Dragon aura released by Little Fire just now!

"Ugh!!!"

"This... this pressure!"

"My god! What Bloodline is this!"

"Another ancient Divine Beast Bloodline! It's not the least bit weaker than that True Dragon!"

This time, even the high-stage Falling Star Rank Elders changed their expressions.

Two!

Two ancient Divine Beast Bloodline auras.

Suppressing the entire field simultaneously!

And an even more shocking scene occurred.

Li!!!

A high-pitched and stirring phoenix cry suddenly resounded from behind Liu Ruyan.

Nether Phoenix!

Liu Ruyan's Nether Phoenix had actually erupted of its own accord!

Pitch-black dark attribute energy surged out from the Nether Phoenix's body, condensing behind it into the phantom of a black phoenix with spread wings.

That phantom also blotted out the sky, radiating the Nether Divine Might unique to the Nether Phoenix clan.

It no longer cowered.

It chose to meet the challenge!

Faced with the Bloodline pressure of the Ancient Wind-Thunder Divine Peng, the ancient Bloodline within the Nether Phoenix was completely stimulated!

Its pride as a descendant of an ancient Divine Beast made it impossible to continue bowing its head before pressure of the same level!

This was a battle for Bloodline dignity!

And so.

Everyone saw a scene they would never forget for the rest of their lives.

Above the Spirit Sealing Hall.

Two Divine Beast phantoms confronted each other from a distance.

On the left was the purple and silver intertwined Ancient Wind-Thunder Divine Peng. It was surrounded by a world-destroying lightning storm; with every flap of its wings, space shattered, the gale was like knives, and the lightning was like swords, as if it wanted to tear this world into pieces.

On the right was the pitch-black and dark Nether Phoenix.

Endless darkness transformed from nether power flowed around its body, and dark flames burned silently. Wherever they passed, life was cut off, as if the gates to the Nine Nether Hells had swung open.

Two completely different yet equally vast ancient Divine Beast Bloodline auras collided violently in the air.

Boom—!!!

Rumble—!!!

The collision of wind and thunder with the nether.

Visible spatial ripples exploded outward.

On one side was the violent wind and thunder that tore everything apart.

On the other was the heavy darkness that devoured all things.

Two extreme powers entwined, tugged, and countered each other in mid-air, actually stirring up a shocking phenomenon of ancient Divine Beasts contending right above the Spirit Sealing Hall!

"This...!!! What's going on!"

"Holy crap! Holy crap! The collision of two Divine Beast Bloodline auras actually produced such a phenomenon!!!"

"This isn't a fight! This is a Bloodline resonance phenomenon triggered by the collision of Divine Beast auras!"

"Resonance! They are resonating! The Bloodline of the Ancient Wind-Thunder Divine Peng and the Bloodline of the ancient Nether Phoenix are resonating!"

A white-haired Liu Family Elder, over eighty years old, suddenly shook violently. Two blazing beams of light shot out from his cloudy old eyes.

He pointed a withered, trembling finger at the phenomenon in the sky, his aged voice so excited it seemed it would tear his throat:

"I know!!!"

"This is a resonance phenomenon triggered by the collision of Divine Beast auras! It's recorded in ancient texts! Only when two ancient Divine Beast Bloodlines of comparable levels collide head-on will this kind of heaven-and-earth resonance be triggered! This means these two Bloodlines are of the same Rank! Both are ancient Divine Beast level!!"

As soon as these words were spoken.

The entire venue reached a boiling point.

"Two ancient Divine Beast Bloodlines!!!"

"They really are ancient Divine Beast Bloodlines! It's absolutely certain!"

"And this Ancient Wind-Thunder Divine Peng's Bloodline aura is actually not a single bit weaker than the Nether Phoenix Bloodline!"

"No! It's more than just not being weaker! Look quickly! Its Bloodline is burning! That wind and thunder are tearing at the Nether Phoenix's Nether Domain!"

"This is too damn terrifying!!!"

Everyone's hearts were pounding violently, and everyone's eyes were wide as copper bells.

Those young disciples who had whispered doubts about Little Skylark being all show and no substance earlier now had faces that had turned green.

They wished they could give themselves a few loud slaps in the face!!

Just now, they actually thought this beast was ordinary?!

Primordial aura!!!

In terms of the domineering nature of the Bloodline Rank alone, it was almost invincible among those of the same tier!

And even more people had begun to frantically guess the origin of this Divine Roc.

"Dual wind and thunder attributes, avian type, ancient Bloodline... could it be a Void-Rending Black Bird?"

"No! The Void-Rending Black Bird only has the wind attribute! This beast has lightning on its body! And the Void-Rending Black Bird doesn't have such a domineering aura!"

"Then could it be a Nine-Rotation Wind-Thunder Falcon?"

"Bullshit! Does a Nine-Rotation Wind-Thunder Falcon have the qualifications to collide with the Nether Phoenix Bloodline? Could it make even the Nether Phoenix feel wary? Listen to the nonsense you're spouting!"

"Could it be... could it be that existence from the primordial era that was said to have torn the heavens with wind and thunder, crushed stars with its wings, and was known as the Overlord of the Skies and the Ancestor of All Rocs..."

As soon as these words came out.

The discussion in the entire venue suddenly fell silent.

The same name surfaced in everyone's minds.

A forbidden name only occasionally recorded in ancient texts.

A legend that would make countless avian beasts instinctively tremble upon hearing it.

In this dead silence, an aged and certain voice slowly rang out.

"If I am not mistaken..."

Everyone's eyes instantly converged on the person who spoke.

It was an older Clan Elder of the Liu Family. Said to have lived for over five hundred years, his face, covered in deep wrinkles, was now full of uncontrollable excitement and awe.

He tremblingly raised his hand, pointed at the purple and silver Divine Roc phantom in mid-air, and said word by word:

"The Bloodline of Grand Tutor Dongxuan's beast... is precisely the one that dominated the Nine Heavens during the primordial era..."

"The one that tore through ten thousand worlds with its Wind-Thunder wings..."

"The Ancient Wind-Thunder Divine Peng!!!"

The words fell.

Dead silence filled the field.

And then...

The entire Spirit Sealing Hall went completely wild.
