242: Chapter 241 The Black Dragon and the Fire Phoenix Evolve Again

"Alright, there's no need for you two to push all the Karma onto me," Xia Jin said with a laugh, his expression becoming a bit more relaxed.

Hearing this, the respect in the eyes of the Black Flood Dragon and the Fire Phoenix did not diminish in the slightest, but they tactfully dropped the subject.

"Do you know why I've come to find you today?" Xia Jin changed the subject, his gaze sweeping over the two massive creatures.

The Black Flood Dragon and the Fire Phoenix looked at each other, a hint of confusion flashing in their eyes as they both shook their massive heads.

The Black Flood Dragon asked in confusion, "Master, why?"

Xia Jin stood with his hands behind his back, glancing into the distance with a serious tone. "I will soon be leaving this world."

As soon as these words were spoken, both the Black Flood Dragon and the Fire Phoenix were shaken.

"Master, you are leaving this world?" A flash of shock appeared in the Black Flood Dragon's massive eyes. After all, in its understanding, very few people were capable of leaving this world.

Beside it, the Fire Phoenix also flapped its wings and cried out, "Can Master still return?"

Xia Jin did not answer the Fire Phoenix's question, only saying slowly, "After I leave, I hope you two can look after Great Xia for me. Great Xia is fairly stable now and shouldn't encounter much trouble normally, but if a day comes when it faces trouble, I will need you two to step in and help."

The Black Flood Dragon shifted its massive body, the dark clouds beneath it churning violently. Its voice was like a resonant bell: "Looking after Great Xia is no problem at all! Master, please rest assured. As long as I, the Black Flood Dragon, am alive, I will never allow any petty scoundrels to disturb Great Xia in the slightest!"

The Fire Phoenix also nodded repeatedly. "Master has granted us a second life. For such a small matter, I, the Fire Phoenix, will certainly give my all!"

Xia Jin nodded with satisfaction, a hint of gratification flashing in his eyes.

"Don't worry, I won't make you work for nothing." He looked at the two Yao Beasts with a smile. "Before I leave, I will help you complete another Bloodline evolution today."

As soon as these words were spoken, the Black Flood Dragon and the Fire Phoenix were first stunned, and then their massive bodies began to tremble slightly with excitement.

Bloodline evolution!

The Opportunity bestowed by their master last time had already caused their strength to advance by leaps and bounds, greatly increasing the purity of their Bloodlines. Now they could actually go a step further; this was something they wouldn't even dare to dream of!

"Thank you, Master!"

"Thank you, Master!"

The two Yao Beasts, the Black Flood Dragon and the Fire Phoenix, shouted out almost simultaneously.

Xia Jin nodded and said no more.

He slowly closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

In the next moment, a terrifying pressure radiated outward from him.

The Black Flood Dragon and the Fire Phoenix felt their hearts sink, as if an invisible mountain had pressed down on them, making them almost unable to breathe. The two Yao Beasts subconsciously wanted to retreat, but found that their bodies were completely out of their control.

And at this moment, Xia Jin's appearance had completely changed.

At the center of his brow, a brilliant Sun Mark slowly emerged, and behind him, three massive Light Wheels appeared out of thin air, rotating slowly.

The three lights shone upon each other, enveloping Xia Jin and making him look like a deity descending to the world.

The Black Flood Dragon and the Fire Phoenix couldn't help but gulp.

It wasn't fear, but a kind of instinctive submission originating from the depths of their Bloodlines.

Xia Jin's expression became incredibly solemn at this moment.

He slowly raised his right hand, staring intently at the two Yao Beasts before him.

Suddenly, he gave a loud shout!

A thick surge of green energy shot out from one of the Light Wheels behind him, landing on the Black Flood Dragon and the Fire Phoenix.

As soon as the green energy touched the bodies of the two Yao Beasts, it seeped into their forms like mercury spreading over the ground.

After a few breaths,

On the Black Flood Dragon's already massive body, fine cracks began to appear, and from within those cracks, a purple light faintly glowed.

The Fire Phoenix's situation was much the same; its body, covered in magnificent feathers, was also filled with cracks, and a five-colored light poured out from the fissures, illuminating half the sky.

Both Yao Beasts let out cries of pain simultaneously.

The Black Flood Dragon's massive body rolled frantically among the clouds, bringing about gusts of wind and torrential rain. The Fire Phoenix flapped its wings desperately, the flames around its body flickering as if they might go out at any moment.

But they both gritted their teeth and persevered.

Because they could clearly feel that under the baptism of that green energy, the Bloodlines deep within their bodies were undergoing a world-shaking transformation. The ancient powers that had been dormant in the deepest parts of their Bloodlines, diluted by countless generations of Legacy, were being activated bit by bit.

As the green energy continued to fall upon the Black Flood Dragon and the Fire Phoenix,

Xia Jin also began to feel the strain, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. Even with his current cultivation, purifying the Bloodlines of two powerful Yao Beasts at the same time was by no means an easy task.

But he did not stop.

This continued for half an hour.

Xia Jin took a deep breath and slowly withdrew his right hand.

The three Light Wheels behind him gradually dimmed and finally vanished. The Sun Mark at the center of his brow also faded away, returning to its original appearance.

He raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, a hint of a smile appearing on his face.

"It's a success."

Just three words, but they carried a sense of relief.

"Roar!"

A massive Dragon roar echoed through the clouds!

Immediately after, a crisp and melodious Phoenix cry rang out, like heavenly music intertwining with the Dragon's roar.

The cracks on the two Yao Beasts' bodies peeled away piece by piece, like shedding an old shell.

The Black Flood Dragon had completely grown a pair of branched Dragon horns, and its originally purple-black scales had turned into a deep violet-gold.

This was no longer a Black Flood Dragon; this was clearly a true Divine Dragon!

And beside it, the Fire Phoenix's transformation was equally astonishing.

The feathers on its body had completely turned into a kaleidoscope of colors, reflecting a dreamlike light under the sun.

Even more startling was that between its feathers, wisps of white flames would occasionally emerge.

The aura of the two Yao Beasts had surged to a staggering level: Tongshen Realm, Eighth Layer!

Moreover, with their current terrifying Bloodlines, even if they faced experts at the Ninth Layer or even the Peak of the Tongshen Realm, they would likely be able to hold their own!

Feeling the power surging within its body to the point of almost overflowing, the Black Flood Dragon's massive eyes were filled with wild joy.

It let out a long howl toward the sky, its four claws treading on the clouds as its massive body rolled and darted through them at will.

The Fire Phoenix also flapped its wings, its multicolored body like a stream of seven-colored light as it soared straight into the highest heavens.

The two Yao Beasts released their energy to their heart's content in the sky, seemingly wanting to experience their current strength.

After playing for quite a while, the two Yao Beasts finally flew back to Xia Jin, still wanting more.

The Black Flood Dragon lowered its massive head, looking at Xia Jin with great excitement: "Thank you for the gift, Master!"

The Fire Phoenix also landed beside Xia Jin, folding its wings and gently rubbing its head against his arm, letting out soft cries as if it were acting spoiled.

Xia Jin laughed and shook his head, reaching out to pat the Fire Phoenix's head before looking at the Black Flood Dragon and saying with a smile, "Now that you have both been reborn, it's no longer appropriate to call you Black Flood Dragon and Fire Phoenix. I should give you new names!"

Hearing this, the two Yao Beasts immediately pricked up their ears.

To be personally named by their master was a great honor!

Xia Jin stroked his chin, pretending to think for a moment, and then said solemnly, "Hmm... from today on, you shall be called Xiao Hei, and you shall be called Xiao Feng."

Black Flood Dragon: "..."

The two Yao Beasts' bodies jerked violently, and they nearly tumbled straight out of the sky.

Xiao Hei? Xiao Feng?

Such a majestic and domineering Divine Dragon, called Xiao Hei?

Such a brilliant and noble Divine Phoenix, called Xiao Feng?

The two Yao Beasts looked at each other, both seeing a look of being unable to decide whether to laugh or cry in the other's eyes.

"Ma... Master..." The Black Flood Dragon opened its mouth, wanting to say something, but not daring to object, it could only sheepishly close its mouth.

Seeing the two Yao Beasts' aggrieved yet silent expressions, Xia Jin finally couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Alright, I was just joking with you. A name is just a label; with your current Bloodlines and strength, you no longer need any titles to bolster you. As for what you'll specifically be called, you can decide for yourselves."

The two Yao Beasts finally breathed a sigh of relief and nodded hurriedly.

Xia Jin looked up at the sky and then toward the direction of the Great Xia Imperial Palace in the distance, a hint of hard-to-detect reluctance flashing in his eyes.

"Alright, I'm preparing to leave. Take care of yourselves!"

A Void Gate suddenly appeared in the space before him.

Xia Jin did not look back as he stepped into the Void Gate.

The moment his figure vanished into the darkness, his final words drifted out from within the gate.

"Great Xia... I'll leave its care to you in the future."
