174: Chapter 174 Enhancement of Bloodline Power

Meanwhile.

As Ye Yang's racial atavism concluded, the aura that had made the beasts and the people in distant Jianghai City feel palpitations gradually dissipated.

They finally regained the ability to move.

The hundreds of thousands of beasts in the forest raised their heads, trying to get a clear look at the red figure in the sky; the current aura felt both familiar and strange to them.

They had no idea what had happened...

The first thing the humans from Jianghai City at the edge of the forest did after regaining their mobility was to immediately drive away.

After all, the massive construction project was only a final inspection away from completion, and what had just occurred was far too terrifying for them, having lived in the city their whole lives.

The feeling of one's body being out of control and one's life being in someone else's hands was truly horrifying.

However, the first thing Jianghai City's reconnaissance unit did after regaining their mobility was to use professional detection equipment to observe Ye Yang's location.

Soon, a fiery red figure appeared in their view.

"Phoenix!"

The first reconnaissance soldier to see the red figure in the sky couldn't help but shout!

His voice was filled with shock!

The few reconnaissance soldiers nearby reacted the same way, their pupils dilating as if they had seen something unbelievable.

It wasn't that they had overactive imaginations; any person from Daxia, upon seeing that fiery red figure with long plumage in the sky for the first time, would assume it was a phoenix from mythology!

"Hiss..."

A soldier gasped, "Where did this... fiery red giant bird come from? Where did the Ancient Divine Phoenix go?"

"I don't know..."

"Although we don't want to believe it, this fiery red giant bird is very likely the result of the Ancient Divine Phoenix's mutation and evolution—"

"What nonsense are you spouting, Old Li?!" a soldier shouted, bloodshot veins appearing in his fearful eyes.

His mind was completely shattered by fear; when mythical creatures appeared in their world, they often brought not peace, but disaster.

"Then how is our Jianghai City supposed to get along with this monster..."

"Sigh, let's report all of this to the leaders of Jianghai City first."

"Wait, I've found a problem! If this fiery red giant bird really is the mutated and evolved Ancient Divine Phoenix, will this monster be satisfied with the special habitat we built?"

"This..."

Boom!

A massive roar interrupted their conversation. In their field of vision, a huge fireball descended from the sky and crashed onto the three-thousand-meter-high mountain they had built not far away.

...

A giant bird with fiery red light flowing all over its body stood atop the mountain peak.

Standing on the ground at the mountain peak, Ye Yang immediately felt a familiar type of electrical energy flowing endlessly into his body, making him feel very comfortable.

"Notification: The bloodline Thunder Power within you is very satisfied with your current environment and feels comfortable; Thunder Power is increasing..."

The system's mechanical notification sound in his mind made Ye Yang's golden pupils brighten with joy!

The mountain beneath his feet, which had gathered electricity from lightning rods within a hundred-mile radius, along with the golden thunder brought about by his own racial atavism, had already accumulated quite a bit of power.

He focused his mind, carefully sensing the golden Lightning Energy in his body as it increased.

Although the rate of increase was slower than a snail's pace, it still made him happy.

After all, being able to increase his power for no reason—what could be happier than that?

Previously, he had felt a kinship with the electrical properties in the air, and coupled with the collapse of his original habitat, Divine Phoenix Mountain, he wanted to live in a habitat with electrical properties.

He hadn't expected such an unexpected gain; the electrical environment could actually enhance the bloodline Thunder Power within him!

Before he could finish being happy, another mechanical notification sound rang in his mind.

"Notification: The bloodline Glazed Blazing Fire within you senses the energy in the sunlight; Glazed Blazing Fire is increasing..."

"Hmm?"

Ye Yang paused, raising his head to gaze at the sun hanging high in the clear sky.

He seemed to feel a trace of familiarity from the sun's rays...

"That's good, both bloodline powers can now increase automatically!"

He remembered that his bloodline power increase was also based on the number of Supreme Aura Cells in his body; with this dual approach, both bloodline powers would surely increase rapidly!

His golden pupils scanned the surroundings, taking in everything within a hundred-mile radius.

Seeing the various giant mountain sculptures of rare and exotic beasts arranged in a protective posture facing his mountain made him even more satisfied with the environment built by Jianghai City.

There was no helping it; after becoming a bird, his aesthetic preferences seemed to have changed somewhat from before.

The unique appearances of these rare and exotic beasts attracted his attention more than human beauties.

"I wonder if there are actually any mythical creatures in this world..."

"If they really do exist, that would be great; then I could find a few beautiful phoenixes to be my mates..."

...

On the other side, when Ye Yang triggered the mutation and evolution that caused several hundred miles of the sky to be covered by dark clouds and golden thunder.

All one million residents of Jianghai City also fixed their attention on the outskirts of Jianghai City.

There was no helping it; the commotion was just too great. Everyone in Jianghai City could see a vast expanse of dark clouds in the sky to the south of the city, with golden thunder and lightning filling the clouds.

The leaders of Jianghai City had long been on high alert in the conference room.

Upon learning that a giant fiery red creature had appeared in the sky over the outskirts of Jianghai City, everyone was stunned.

Because they knew that this giant fiery red flying creature was the result of the Ancient Divine Phoenix's mutation and evolution!

"Didn't the professors and experts in the research department say... the more powerful a creature is, the longer it takes to evolve? Why was the Ancient Divine Phoenix's mutation and evolution so rapid?!"

"Why?! Can someone tell me?!"

"The Prehistoric White-Feathered Great Eagle—followed by the unknown golden giant flying creature that mastered Thunder Power, and then this fiery red bird with long plumage before us; could that Ancient Creature have really evolved into a phoenix?!"

"At first glance, I even had the hallucination that I saw the sun!"

"However, looking at the situation just now, the Ancient Divine Phoenix is very satisfied with the habitat we built and hasn't come down from that mountain."

"Sigh, it's a pity. We hadn't finished the completion steps yet and didn't have time to install monitoring equipment and high-concentration bombs on that mountain..."

"Whew... this might also be a good thing. This Ancient Divine Phoenix might have evolved and mutated to possess abilities unknown to us. If we had offended him back then, our Jianghai City might have been in danger!"

"That's true..."

Just when the many leaders in the conference room were feeling dejected and the atmosphere was low.

Someone suddenly burst into the conference room!

"Report! There has been a breakthrough in the research on the dragon blood fruit!"
