229: Chapter 229 Strange Movements Deep in the Qinling Mountains...

Deep in the primeval forests of the Qinling Mountains, a white mist of spiritual energy permeated the air, like a thin veil draped over the land. The concentration of spiritual energy had reached an astonishing level, even faintly surpassing the concentration at the peak of Divine Phoenix Mountain, Ye Yang's habitat.

Strangely, not a single living creature could be found here, not even an ant, which were common throughout the mountain forests.

A towering mountain suddenly shook on its own, and instantly, a powerful aura, almost tangible, emanated from it.

"What has that mixed-blood Black Flood Dragon been busy with lately? Why has it gone out again?"

The silent and invisible voice transmitted into the distance via a special electromagnetic wave. A few seconds later, a voice came back.

"Who knows... It is said that some ancient spiritual plants were stolen by creatures from the outside world, so it probably went out to catch the thief."

"Oh... I see..."

The creature, whose size resembled a great mountain, muttered to itself, then spoke out.

"My innate talent senses that the Black Flood Dragon might be in danger. Should we go check on the situation?"

The voice transmitted into the distance again, and the other voice responded.

"No need... This time, the Black Flood Dragon caused the trouble itself... In the future, the Flood Dragon clan will have no excuse to cause us trouble..."

"Fine."

After all, for creatures of their high evolutionary level, they were truly unwilling to go to an environment where spiritual energy was scarce.

Currently, their only goal was to accumulate evolutionary resources in preparation for the coming era of ten thousand races...

The aura gradually dissipated, and the land returned to silence once more; the great mountain looked as if it had never moved at all...

[Notification: You have consumed the pupil of the Black Flood Dragon. The Supreme Aura Cells contained within your body are surging with excitement, successfully infecting three hundred thousand Supreme Aura Cells!]

[Notification: The Supreme Aura Cells within your body have sensed the aura of draconic creature genes, awakening the Origin Talent—Rising Sun!]

"Origin Talent?!"

Ye Yang was stunned. Before he could react, he felt a warm energy surge into his body, which had been expanded by the Gigantification talent, rapidly enhancing his state.

At the same time, information about the Origin Talent Rising Sun appeared deep in his mind.

It turned out that the pale golden blood of the Black Flood Dragon had stimulated the supreme aura bloodline within him, awakening the talent—and it was an Origin Talent at that.

The fundamental difference between an Origin Talent and a regular talent is that it is powerful!

The effect of the Origin Talent Rising Sun is that under sunlight, his combat power can rapidly climb, and his physical fitness, including everything within his body, will receive a tremendous boost!

Currently, the talent level of Rising Sun is (B) grade, which can increase his overall strength by three times.

"Powerful..."

Feeling his body rapidly strengthening, Ye Yang suddenly noticed something was wrong.

Because the speed of strengthening gradually stopped, and the increase in strength was not three times as indicated by the information...

"Right, sunlight!"

He looked up at the sky. At this moment, due to the Black Flood Dragon affecting the magnetic field and changing the weather and climate, the sky here was covered by a thick layer of dark clouds, with only wisps of sunlight shining through the clouds onto his body.

"So it was the dark clouds blocking the sunlight..."

"Roar!!!"

Abruptly.

A shocking murderous aura rushed toward him. The figure of the Black Flood Dragon flashed in front of Ye Yang, its three-hundred-meter body soaring into the air, charging toward Ye Yang with immense power!

Ye Yang reacted instantly. The bloodline powers of Lightning Energy and Wind Power within him erupted simultaneously, turning into a streak of red light as he dashed into the high sky.

"Roar! Damn it!!!"

The Black Flood Dragon's attack missed once again, and it let out an angry roar!

It clearly knew that this ant-like avian creature had a lower evolutionary level than itself, and its strength was even weaker, yet the speed displayed by this ant was simply too fast...

Its innate talent already allowed it to control the air and wind, and its flight speed was considered top-tier among evolved creatures of the same level; it did not expect this avian creature to be even faster!

"What is this ant trying to do..."

The Black Flood Dragon looked up and saw Ye Yang's figure flying toward the high sky, a flicker of doubt passing through its remaining left pupil.

It did not flee either, because it knew that this avian creature, which was faster than itself, would not let it leave so easily...

In the blink of an eye, Ye Yang flew into the cloud layer. The Wind Power within his bloodline surged, instantly forming a cyan hurricane vortex around his body and continuously expanding. Under Ye Yang's full exertion, the cyan hurricane airflow vortex quickly formed a thousand-meter-large cyan tornado, sweeping up the surrounding dark clouds!

The several thousand meters of dark clouds covering the sky vanished without a trace, and the sky returned to its former clarity, with the bright sun shining down.

"What is this ant trying to do..."

The one-eyed Black Flood Dragon hovering in the air was confused, not understanding the reason for this avian creature's actions.

Then, its pupil suddenly froze, because in its perception, the aura of this avian creature was rapidly climbing and strengthening!

"How is this possible..."

Several kilometers away, several helicopters from Jianghai City had also followed behind.

"A cyan tornado! Is this also the power of the Ancient Divine Phoenix?!"

"My God, the dark clouds have disappeared!"

The humans on the helicopter were shocked, their eyes fixed on the red figure in the center of the cyan storm on the camera screen, their mouths wide open!

"The Ancient Divine Phoenix was known to first possess the power of lightning, then fire... and now it has even mastered the intangible wind?! This is simply incredible!"

The staff member was shocked, "Compared to the black dragon creature before us, I think the Ancient Divine Phoenix is the true mythical creature!"

It was not just the staff on the helicopter who were shocked; the leaders far away in Jianghai City were also astonished to see this.

"Record the information quickly! The Ancient Divine Phoenix is suspected to have the ability to trigger storms!"

"I really didn't expect that the Ancient Divine Phoenix could actually contend with the mythical creature, the dragon... It's too incredible!"

"What is the purpose of the Ancient Divine Phoenix using its ability to blow away the sky full of dark clouds?"

The leaders of Jianghai City were like a fountain of questions, unable to refrain from expressing their inner confusion, but their bewilderment was destined to remain unanswered.

Mayor Lin stared at the screen, a glint of light flashing deep in his eyes.

"Could it be... that the Ancient Divine Phoenix can really kill this mythical creature?"

Although this idea was extremely bold, and having witnessed the power of this mythical creature, his reason told him this was simply a pipe dream, but for some reason, deep in his heart, he felt...

The Ancient Divine Phoenix really could kill this black draconic creature!

"If that is really the case... it is not very good news for our Jianghai City..."

If the Ancient Divine Phoenix truly killed this black draconic creature, it would mean that the power of the Ancient Divine Phoenix far exceeded the scope of their known power...

And their Jianghai City was only about two hundred kilometers away from Divine Phoenix Mountain; given the speed the Ancient Divine Phoenix had just displayed, it would likely arrive in less than five minutes...
