172: Chapter 172 Dragon and Phoenix Descend: A Shocking Phenomenon of Gods and Demons

"Waa—!!!"

That piercing cry was like a thunderclap opening the heavens and earth, instantly dispelling all the oppression and deathly silence inside Yangxin Hall.

In mid-air, Xu Chen had just retracted his True Dragon manifestation and hadn't even landed when he heard another cry, slightly softer but just as full of vigor.

"Waa—!"

Two cries, one after the other, like the song of a Dragon and a Phoenix, intertwined to form a marvelous melody that made the surrounding air tremble slightly.

"Born! Both are born!"

"Congratulations, Young Lord! It is a pair of Dragon and Phoenix Twins! The first to come out is the older brother, and the second is the younger sister!"

From inside the hall, the Midwife's voice, filled with joy and even a trace of trembling, drifted out.

"Hoo..."

Upon hearing this, Xu Chen felt all his strength instantly drained. He fell from the high altitude, stumbling as he landed at the entrance of the main hall. The zhu xian sword embryo in his hand fell to the ground with a "clatter." His hands, usually so decisive in killing, were now trembling like a Parkinson's patient.

"They survived..."

"They both survived..."

He leaned against the doorframe, panting heavily, his eye sockets uncontrollably turning red. That short half-hour just now had been longer than ten thousand years of suffering in purgatory to him.

Just then.

"Rumble—!!!"

The tribulation clouds, which had been intimidated by Xu Chen's sword and were slowly dissipating, suddenly rolled violently as if provoked by something supreme.

But this time, it was not destructive thunder, but—auspicious omens!

Above Yangxin Hall, two beams of light, brilliant to the extreme, pierced through the roof without warning and shot straight into the Nine Heavens!

The one on the left was pitch black as ink and deep as an abyss; it was Chaos Qi pure to the extreme! In the air, it condensed into a vague phantom of a god-demon that radiated a terrifying aura capable of suppressing the heavens.

The one on the right was colorful and brilliant, sacred and noble; it was the Creation Divine Light of the Seven-Colored Luminous Heart! In the air, it transformed into a lifelike Seven-Colored Divine Phoenix with wings covering the sky.

"Roar—!"

"Chirp—!"

At the same time, the Luck Golden Dragon beneath the Xu Family seemed to sense the birth of a Bloodline of the same Origin. It actually surged out of the earth vein on its own, let out a heaven-shaking dragon roar, and flew into the high sky to dance with the Seven-Colored Divine Phoenix phantom.

The Dragon and Phoenix brought auspiciousness, and the gods and demons paid their respects!

The Spiritual Qi within a radius of hundreds of millions of miles rioted at this moment, turning into countless golden lotus flowers that drifted down into every corner of the Xu Family of the Imperial Clan.

"Heavenly signs descending... This is a heavenly sign descending!"

"Chaos Body! That baby boy must be the legendary Chaos Body!"

"That baby girl is also extraordinary! That is the Seven-Colored Luminous Heart with an accompanying Divine Phoenix omen!"

Throughout the Xu Family, countless Elders and Disciples were stunned by this shocking scene. Even those ancient antiques who had been sleeping in the depths of the ancestral land for countless epochs were awakened by this aura, as terrifying Divine Senses swept over, followed by waves of ecstatic thoughts.

"Heaven bless our clan! Heaven bless our Xu Family!"

Outside the hall, Xu Changsheng watched the Dragon and Phoenix phantoms dancing in the sky, his beard trembling with excitement. He slapped Xu Chen on the back, almost knocking down the man who had just relaxed.

"Good lad! You really did it! This birth gave us two legendary seeds!"

...

Inside the hall.

The thick smell of blood had been covered by the fragrance of countless Spirit Medicines.

Jiang Liuli lay weakly on the bed. Although her face was pale and sweat had dampened her hair, her beautiful eyes were filled with happiness that was about to overflow. She tilted her head, gazing infatuatedly at the two little bundles wrapped in brocade quilts beside her.

"Husband..."

Seeing Xu Chen enter, she reached out a hand, her voice hoarse but gentle.

"Come and take a look... at our children..."

Xu Chen walked quickly to the bedside and knelt on one knee. He first held Jiang Liuli's hand with heartache and kissed the back of her hand affectionately.

"Wife, you've worked hard."

"Really... you've worked hard."

Jiang Liuli shook her head, and a tear slid from the corner of her eye; it was a tear of joy.

"It's not hard... seeing them, even death would be worth it."

Xu Chen then turned his head to look at the two little ones.

The older brother on the left, although his skin was still a bit wrinkled, had an imposing heroic spirit between his brows. His little fists were tightly clenched, and a faint gray airflow was actually swirling around his body—that was the Innate Chaos Origin!

The younger sister on the right was delicate and pretty. Her eyes hadn't opened yet, but the colorful halo at her heart was flashing with her breathing, like a miracle.

"Are these... my children?"

Xu Chen reached out his finger tremblingly, wanting to touch the Chaos Body boy. As soon as his finger approached, the boy kicked him on the fingertip.

"Ouch! That's quite some strength!"

Xu Chen was amused; this kick made him bloom with joy.

"This kid will definitely be a good seed for a Body Cultivator in the future! This kick could kill a cow!"

"What are you saying? Who talks about their own son like that."

Ji Wushuang was holding the little granddaughter in her arms, unable to put her down. She glared at Xu Chen, then teased the baby in her arms with great affection.

"Look at our little princess, so well-behaved, so beautiful. She will definitely be a stunning beauty when she grows up, just like her grandmother!"

"She looks like me, she looks like me! This nose looks like mine!" Xu Changsheng also squeezed over, holding his eldest grandson and unwilling to let go, laughing like a two-hundred-pound child.

The family gathered around the bed, filled with joy.

The life-and-death horror from a moment ago had now turned into the warmest of feelings.

"Husband, give the children a name."

Jiang Liuli looked at Xu Chen, her eyes full of anticipation.

Xu Chen heard this, put away the playfulness on his face, and his expression became solemn.

He looked at the son who possessed Chaos Qi and was extraordinarily domineering, pondered for a moment, and said:

"This kid was born with Chaos, and it took many hardships for him to descend into the world. He is destined to walk an invincible path of suppressing the heavens."

"Let's call him—Xu Daolin."

"The Great Dao descends in person, and all laws submit!"

"Good name!" Xu Changsheng shouted loudly, "Dominating! It fits the status of my Xu Family's eldest grandson!"

Xu Chen looked at the daughter who had a Seven-Colored Luminous Heart and was gentle and agile, and his eyes instantly became incomparably soft:

"As for our daughter, she inherited your Luminous Heart and was born in Seven-Colored auspicious clouds. She is an elf bestowed upon us by heaven."

"Let's call her—Xu Linger."

"Agile in the Nine Heavens, Seven-Colored and luminous."

"Dao Lin... Linger..."

Jiang Liuli whispered these two names, the smile at the corners of her mouth growing wider.

"Beautiful... truly beautiful..."

Just at this wonderful moment of family reunion.

Xu Chen's long-tense nerves finally relaxed completely. He felt that in his current state, he wouldn't trade it even for an immortal.

Heaven seemed to think that Xu Chen hadn't had enough "excitement" today.

Or perhaps it felt that "double happiness" wasn't enough to describe Xu Chen's good fortune.

Just as Xu Chen was preparing to bend down to kiss his daughter's little cheek.

"Report—!!!"

Outside the hall, there was a sudden rush of footsteps that were almost panicked, accompanied by the Grand Elder's rasping voice:

"Young Lord! Clan Chief! It's bad! No... it's great! Oh, I can't even explain it!"

"Hmm?"

Xu Chen frowned and stood up straight.

He saw the Grand Elder rushing to the entrance of the hall, drenched in sweat. Because he was running too fast, he tripped over the threshold and almost fell flat on his face.

"Grand Elder, please slow down."

Xu Changsheng was in a good mood and didn't mind his lack of composure, asking with a smile: "What is the matter that makes you so flustered? Could it be that those bastards from the Soul Hall are here again?"

"No... it's not the Soul Hall!"

The Grand Elder panted heavily, pointing in the direction of the neighboring courtyard. The expression on his face was extremely vivid; it was a mixture of shock, ecstasy, and disbelief.

"It's... it's Elder Qingwu!"

"Qingwu?"

Xu Chen's heart skipped a beat, and an ominous... oh no, an extremely strong premonition welled up in his heart.

"What happened to Revered Master?"

The Grand Elder took a deep breath and shouted:

"Just now, the Dragon and Phoenix descended, and the Chaos Qi soared to the sky, triggering the resonance of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth!"

"As a result... as a result, it startled Elder Qingwu in the Sword Dance Pavilion next door!"

"Her... the baby in her womb seems to have sensed the breath of its kind and also wants to come out to compete!"

"In the Sword Dance Pavilion right now, Sword Qi is soaring to the sky, and the roof is about to be blown off! Elder Qingwu... her water has broken! She is also going to give birth!!!"

"What?!"

At this moment.

There was dead silence in Yangxin Hall.

Xu Chen opened his mouth wide, his jaw almost dropping to the floor.

Jiang Liuli was also stunned.

Even Xu Changsheng and Ji Wushuang, who were teasing their grandson, froze in mid-air.

A few seconds later.

Xu Chen let out a deafening exclamation:

"What the hell?!"

"This can happen? Can giving birth have a 'chain reaction' too?!"

"Still want to compete? Is this starting to 'compete' before even being born?!"
