Chapter 294: Success in One Day, This Venerable One Will Be on Top

On the contrary.

Because the Human Race has small bodies and weak Souls, the mortality rate for Divine Conferment has always been above 30%.

More than 30% of Cultivators, who had clearly already broken through, died on the path of Divine Conferment transformation bestowed by the Universe. How regrettable!

Qin Mu’s transformation speed, let alone scaring ordinary gods half to death, even made Geniuses like Venerable Xuan Heng and Ten Thousand Moons tremble with fear, afraid that he would explode on the spot the next second... Time ticked by, second by second.

After a while.

Qin Mu’s body was completely ignited.

Explode!

In front of Venerable Xuan Heng and Ten Thousand Moons, a ball of Blazing Flame exploded in mid-air, spewing out tens of millions of blazing currents.

Sweeping through layers of Blazing Flame.

A perfect body, purely constructed of flames, was hidden within.

Flames danced on that body, lifelike.

Graceful like a startled swan, elegant like a swimming Dragon.

When moving, Dragon roars echoed.

When still, Phoenix cries were stirring.

"Hiss, it’s done?!"

Venerable Xuan Heng’s mouth twitched slightly, looking at the scene before him in disbelief.

He had already prepared to go all out to suppress the Blazing Flame energy that was about to collapse.

As a result.

Qin Mu succeeded within the time it takes to steep a cup of tea!?

"Blazing Flame Body! Nearly perfect?"

Venerable Xuan Heng examined it carefully, feeling it was even more extraordinary.

"Phoenix God Blazing Flame, with Phoenix shadows, is understandable, but where does this faintly emerging Dragon might come from?"

"Where did Qin Mu get the Dragon Clan Legacy?"

"Impossible."

"Dragon Clan talents have always been impossible for outsiders to learn, unless it’s Possession..."

Ten Thousand Moons, however, let out a long sigh of relief.

"Divine Venerable, it’s good that Qin Mu can transform steadily. As for the details like Dragon might, there’s no need to be too particular, right?"

What?

Venerable Xuan Heng almost thought he misheard.

"That’s Dragon might, not some common anomaly."

Ten Thousand Moons raised an eyebrow and retorted, "That’s true for others, but for Qin Mu, it might not be."

"He’s not a Phoenix, yet he still comprehended the Phoenix God Blazing Flame. Why can’t he comprehend Dragon Clan talents?"

Holy cow!

That makes so much sense, Venerable Xuan Heng almost forgot.

"Hmm, ahem!"

Venerable Xuan Heng awkwardly quickly changed the subject and withdrew the heavy treasure: "Qin Mu’s Blazing Flame Body is complete, so Ji Huang and the others can’t touch him even if they fight to the death. This Venerable will take his leave first."

Awkward.

Ji Huang had always been kindly helping, providing Medicinal Pills for free, not to mention painstakingly, even freely transforming Qin Mu’s Blazing Flame Body.

Yet, he had broken her Formation as soon as he appeared. How could he face her? It was better to retreat first... "Roar!!"

As Venerable Xuan Heng teleported away, Qin Mu opened his mouth and let out a roar.

The seven Blazing Flames in his chest were all expelled in one breath.

Boom!

Ji Huang, Extreme Separation, Extreme Flame... all appeared in their Phoenix forms.

Seven Phoenix shadows, in front of Qin Mu, spread their wings together.

Chirp~!!

Seven Phoenix cries seemed to respond to Qin Mu’s roar just now.

Just then.

The Blazing Flame behind Qin Mu instantly condensed, transforming into a Phoenix form.

As Phoenixes.

The Phoenix condensed by Qin Mu was distinctly different from Ji Huang and the others.

Its stature was enormous, one Phoenix overshadowing Ji Huang and the other seven Phoenixes.

It was extraordinarily heroic, its Aura like a rainbow, righteous and fierce, with a rustling wind!

"Hmph!"

Upon seeing this, Extreme Separation immediately let out a displeased snort.

"Little fellow, you want to ride on this Venerable’s head?!"

"I’m telling you, absolutely impossible!"

"This Venerable wants to be on top!"

"You all..."

God King Ten Thousand Moons stared at the scene before her in complete disbelief.

"Extreme Phoenix... you are Divine Venerables, for heaven’s sake..."

"Where is your dignity?!"

"To openly do something like this... this is simply shameless!"

Hm?

Extreme Phoenix finally noticed the Seven Phoenix Formation had already been broken and that outsiders were present.

"Ten Thousand Moons, this matter does not concern you."

"Concern me?" Ten Thousand Moons hurriedly waved her hands. "I never intended to get involved in the first place!"

Extreme Phoenix’s brow twitched slightly.

"Even if you wanted to get involved, there would not be a place for you. Now get out."

The next instant, the blazing flames of the seven Divine Venerables erupted completely.

A terrifying torrent of fire instantly flooded the entire Formation space.

God King Ten Thousand Moons did not even have time to react before she was forcibly blasted out by the endless sea of flames.

"Ah... this..."

Ten Thousand Moons stared at the towering inferno before her, completely at a loss over whether she should advance or retreat.

What made the situation even worse was that Venerable Xuan Heng was absent. Even if she wanted to enter again, she had no way of breaking back into the Seven Phoenix Formation.

Extreme Phoenix let out a proud and triumphant cry.

"Little fellow, let us see how you plan to escape from my grasp now~"

Escape?

Are you joking?

Why would I need to escape?

We both possess the Phoenix God Blazing Flame.

You cannot harm me.

But I...

Can definitely harm you.

A faint smile appeared on Qin Mu’s lips as he calmly spoke.

"Extreme Phoenix, have you forgotten how Jiang Ni lost during the Pinnacle Battle?"

Hiss—

Extreme Phoenix, who had been preparing to charge forward, suddenly froze in midair.

"The Pinnacle Battle... Jiang Ni..."

"The True Dragon?!"

She remembered.

Only now did Extreme Phoenix realize that their current advantage might not be enough to suppress Qin Mu, even with several Divine Venerables joining forces.

Before she could warn the sisters beside her, Qin Mu’s shoulders lowered slightly as his palm shifted into a Dragon Claw and slowly extended outward.

In an instant, the Phoenix God Blazing Flame behind him underwent a terrifying transformation.

"ROAR—!!!"

A thunderous Dragon roar echoed throughout the heavens and earth.

Within the endless sea of blazing flames, an incomparably majestic Cosmic True Dragon suddenly emerged.

The Dragon’s colossal body was entirely forged from blazing fire.

Its Dragon scales burned with divine flames while streaks of lightning flickered across them from time to time.

Golden radiance shimmered with the weight of mountains.

A freezing aura spread with endless sorrow.

Boundless life force radiated with the warmth of light itself.

Terrifying Killing Intent surged alongside profound darkness.

"Blazing Flame True Dragon!"

Extreme Separation never imagined that after hundreds of thousands of world cycles, she would encounter a Yao Race member capable of condensing a Cosmic True Dragon from Phoenix God Blazing Flame itself.

"Be careful!"

Extreme Phoenix shouted in alarm.

"Qin Mu controls the All-Element Domain. Although it appears to be primarily fire-attributed, it actually forms an energy circulation system where every element amplifies the others. It absolutely cannot be underestimated!"

"The All-Element Domain?"

Extreme Separation frowned slightly.

She did not understand what the All-Element Domain truly was, but she understood the meaning of energy circulation.

"What exactly do you mean?"

"Are you saying he comprehends the Five Elements Cycle?"

Extreme Separation was completely stunned.

How was that even possible?

Since ancient times, very few beings had ever comprehended the true principles of the Five Elements Cycle. Anyone capable of mastering the endless circulation and rebirth of the Five Elements was an existence of terrifying power.

Every one of those experts possessed heaven-defying cultivation and their names shook the entire Universe.

And yet now...

A mere Human Race junior actually controlled the Five Elements Cycle?

"That’s right..." Extreme Flame finally remembered as well. "It was mentioned before when we analyzed Jiang Ni’s defeat, but we overlooked it..."

The All-Element Domain.

And Qin Mu’s control over Blazing Flame.

Those had been the true reasons why Qin Mu managed to defeat Jiang Ni.

And now...

They had fallen into the exact same predicament Jiang Ni once faced.

Their Blazing Flames could not harm Qin Mu.

But Qin Mu could freely harm them.

"The worst part..." Extreme Phoenix revealed a bitter smile, "is that a large portion of Qin Mu’s current Blazing Flame actually belongs to us..."

Moments ago, they had followed the Phoenix Dance and crashed directly into Qin Mu’s heart, unintentionally helping him complete his transformation into pure Blazing Flame energy.

Most of the flames now surrounding Qin Mu originated from the seven Divine Venerables themselves.

If Qin Mu had relied solely on his own Blazing Flame, he would have exhausted himself long before fully completing the energy transformation.

Without this unexpected change, even if they could not directly injure Qin Mu, their Divine Venerable cultivation would still have allowed them to suppress him completely.

"Damn it...!"

Extreme Separation gritted her teeth in frustration, yet she could not think of any way to regain the advantage.

The Dragon Might was simply too overwhelming.

The aura alone had already pushed her into a disadvantageous position.

The entire sea of blazing flames that they had painstakingly created was now actually submitting to Qin Mu’s True Dragon.

"If we are at a disadvantage, then so be it..."

"The Phoenix Dance has already been completed. This opportunity is far too rare..."

Extreme Phoenix sighed inwardly and finally gave up struggling over dominance.

ROAR—!!!

The Blazing Flame True Dragon suddenly raised its head and unleashed a heaven-shaking roar.

Its massive body burst out from the sea of flames and descended from the Nine Heavens with unparalleled might.

One Dragon against seven Phoenixes.

Yet there was not the slightest sign of disorder.

Instead, the slender Dragon body instantly entwined itself around all seven Phoenixes.

Dragon and Phoenix intertwined.

Blazing Flames merged together.

Souls resonated.

Minds synchronized.

In that instant, all the flames within the Seven Phoenix Absolute Array condensed into a single mystical scene of harmony between Dragon and Phoenix.

Time itself seemed to freeze.

Even space appeared to solidify.

Qin Mu stared silently at the incomparably mysterious scene before him.

[Ding! The host has observed the intertwined Dragon and Phoenix. Phoenix God Blazing Flame Rank increased by 1! Current Rank: 38!]

[Ding! The host has observed the intertwined Dragon and Phoenix. Phoenix God Blazing Flame Rank increased by 1! Current Rank: 39!]

...

[Ding! The host has observed the intertwined Dragon and Phoenix. Phoenix God Blazing Flame Rank increased by 1! Current Rank: 71!]

"Holy crap!"

Qin Mu’s eyes widened in shock.

"This upgrade speed is insane!"

By the time he finally regained his senses, the Phoenix God Blazing Flame had already surpassed Rank 70.

Terrifying.

Just by observing the Dragon and Phoenix phenomenon for a short while, his Law Rank had increased by dozens of levels.

If news of this spread...

Who would still bother cultivating normally?

Everyone would just sit around watching recordings all day.

...

"Chirp..."

Extreme Separation let out a weak cry.

Her consciousness had already become hazy, as though she no longer even knew where she was.

Meanwhile, clear tears slowly slid down the corners of Extreme Phoenix’s eyes.
