652: Chapter 655 Subduing the Mystic Giant Bird

Then, use the Dark Legion to scout the entire Primordial World and search for Truth Realm experts from the Anti-World.

It carried Lu Chen's will.

But it did not carry Lu Chen's fate.

“Bokona, you have Origin Demon Blood within your body.”

Lu Chen looked back at the Multi-dimensional Demon Race member.

“I shall impart a secret technique to you.”

“You must refine that Bloodline to its limit and become a true Origin Demon God.”

This was an opportunity that no member of the Demon Race could refuse.

“In future wars, I have major arrangements for you.”

“As you command, my Master.”

Bokona replied.

His voice trembled with excitement at the prospect of that endless power.

The fires of loyalty and ambition...

...burned fiercely in his heart.

Lu Chen quickly constructed a set of Bloodline Refinement Secret Techniques.

It was complex, precise, and demanding to the point of cruelty.

It was almost impossible for a normal Demon Race member to refine their original Bloodline to 100% purity,

But Bokona's Bloodline purity already exceeded 50%.

This was the Foundation.

Under Lu Chen's guidance,

It could definitely be achieved.

However,

This still required millions of years of meditation and refinement.

During this process, it was often accompanied by endless pain and transformation.

“Enter the Time Force Field to Cultivate.”

Lu Chen ordered.

It was beyond doubt.

Immediately after, Lu Chen's main body and Bokona re-entered the Time Force Field together to begin a long period of secluded cultivation.

Golden light enveloped them once again.

At the same time,

His Clone began preparing to head out toward the unknown Primordial World.

Lu Chen handed the boundless sword of the void sea to his Clone,

Allowing it to handle any situation in the outside world.

Lu Chen's Clone vanished silently from this world.

In the same instant,

Lu Chen's main body consciousness descended upon the Clone.

The Clone's body stiffened slightly before relaxing.

When its eyes opened again,

The gaze within was no longer just an extension of will.

Instead, it was profound and boundless, carrying the weight that only the main body possessed.

Lu Chen's main body consciousness had descended.

He stood in a vast, ancient forest.

Towering ancient trees extended infinitely in all directions, their trunks thicker than mountain ranges and their canopies obscuring the heavens.

The air was filled with primordial energy so dense it felt heavy even to breathe.

This was not a place for the weak.

This was a solitary refuge chosen by a primordial creature...

...to avoid other forces in the Primordial World.

The moment Lu Chen appeared, the forest reacted.

Leaves trembled, the gale stopped abruptly, and the Spiritual Veins beneath the earth throbbed slightly.

Then, that giant bird looked at him.

It was massive, its entire body covered in dark feathers speckled with faint crimson patterns.

Its wings were tightly folded, yet the pressure it emitted alone was enough to distort the surrounding space.

Its ancient, sharp eyes locked onto Lu Chen with clear confusion.

This person made it feel a sense of familiarity.

Not just familiarity, but a connection.

The giant bird could sense it.

It was the aura that had intervened on its behalf before.

The existence that had shattered the Malonsman Family's Soul Seal and liberated it from a fate worse than death.

At that time, that power had been distant and majestic, like a god reaching down from the Nine Heavens.

And now,

This aura stood right before it, condensed into the form of a human youth.

The giant bird did not attack.

Nor did it flee.

It simply watched quietly, cautious and alert, its instincts screaming in warning.

Yet its Bloodline resonated slightly under Lu Chen's aura.

After a long while, it spoke.

The voice echoed directly in Lu Chen's mind, low and raspy, carrying suppressed fear.

“Was it you... who saved me?”

The question was asked carefully, with great restraint.

If this human truly was the existence that shattered the Malonsman Soul Seal,

Then it absolutely could not afford to offend him.

That Soul Seal had been left by a power far exceeding its current Realm.

Being able to erase it so easily meant the opponent could turn it into ash at a whim.

Lu Chen calmly met the giant bird's gaze.

He gave a slight nod.

“Yes.”

A single word, absolute and certain.

No pride, no arrogance, just a statement of fact.

The giant bird's pupils constricted, its heart pounded, and the pressure around its body fluctuated slightly.

Lu Chen continued to speak, his tone steady and composed:

“Become my Spirit Pet. I can help you evolve.”

“In return, you shall be my mount. Of course, this is your choice; I will not force you.”

The words were simple, almost casual.

But to the giant bird, they were as heavy as a final decree of fate.

Lu Chen was not negotiating.

He was giving.

He felt an emotion toward this creature that he rarely felt for others.

It wasn't the warmth of shared growth, but a deeper bond.

Because he had originally been born within the body of this giant bird.

In a sense,

Its existence was tightly linked to his.

Closer than an ally, dearer than a subordinate.

As close as family.

That was why Lu Chen wanted to protect it.

The giant bird did not respond immediately.

Its massive body shifted slightly.

It lowered its head, its eyes half-closed.

Its consciousness worked rapidly, weighing the pros and cons, choosing between survival and freedom.

This forest was indeed safe, but it could only hide from weak races.

It was isolated from the world, but isolation did not equate to invincibility.

If one day, a Creation Realm Vicious Beast passed by and was hungry, what could it do?

If an Eternal Realm expert came here to hunt, what chance of survival would it have?

Zero.

But this human before it stood calmly,

As if those existences were nothing to be feared.

More importantly, the giant bird could feel the connection between them.

The resonance deep within its Bloodline responded instinctively,

As if recognizing a family member.

Finally, it opened its eyes.

“You said you could help me evolve... to what point?”

Lu Chen smiled faintly.

“There is a primordial race called the Phoenix Clan, one of the original ancestors of all avian creatures.”

“One day, I will have you evolve into one of them.”

He paused for a moment, his tone carrying a quiet confidence as he added:

“Perhaps, you could even surpass them.”

The effect was instantaneous.

The giant bird's eyes ignited like two scorching suns.

Its breathing grew heavy, and its heart pounded incessantly.

The Phoenix Clan was not just a legend.

It was a dream etched into the deepest part of its Bloodline.

Without hesitation or doubt, it deeply lowered its head.

“I am willing.”

It did not ask for proof, nor did it question his words.

Instinct told it that this human would not lie.

“Very well,”

Lu Chen said.

He raised his hand and forced out a drop of fresh blood.

The light from the blood drop was terrifyingly dense, containing immeasurable power.

The moment it entered the giant bird's body, reality itself seemed to freeze for a second.

Lu Chen had already decided.

This creature would become his second Great General.

The concept of the Five Great Generals was directly bound to his Myriad Source Bloodline.

Ever since his Bloodline took shape, he had gained an additional talent:

He could create five absolute subordinates whose loyalty would never fade and whose potential would grow infinitely alongside him.

They were not slaves.

They were extensions of his own life.

If he lived, they lived.

If he died, they died with him.

The moment the blood merged, a violent upheaval descended.

The Myriad Source Bloodline surged like a tsunami,

Forcibly piercing through every one of the giant bird's Meridians and cells.
