Chapter 1569 - 454: Lu Yaoyao Is Back! (6k)

On his rapid escape, Zhou Qing saw eight powerful human Spirit Severing Realm cultivators engaged in fierce battles with other Demon Emperors in the Secret Realm.

These mighty figures, usually high and mighty, were now in a very sorry state.

They seemed evenly matched.

One side relied on secret medicine to reach an artificial Spirit Severing state, while the other side consisted of hastily matured Demon Emperors, battling as if the world were collapsing around them, yet neither could gain the upper hand.

Zhou Qing did not linger and flew directly over the battlefield.

But he knew in his heart—

Next, he would likely face a wanted pursuit soon.

This, in the end, could not change.

After all, the eight human Spirit Severing Realm cultivators who entered would surely be captured and subjected to a Soul Search.

By then, Taichu Master would naturally find out who this "Golden-Winged Roc" truly was.

The inheritance of the "Emperor’s Brilliance Scripture" from the Old Peng King was known to many in the Eastern Domain.

After becoming a Level 4 Array Master of the Holy Martial Dynasty, his background had been thoroughly investigated.

Moreover, since the opponent came from the Level 5 Cultivation Country, the Celestial Fate Sacred Dynasty, they would undoubtedly pursue revenge in the future...

Now, in Nanhuang State and several nearby major states, his name was likely already well-known.

But, so what?

Now that he had smoothly broken through to the Late-stage Spirit Severing Realm, coupled with a complete Extreme Dao Weapon, even against the Supreme Realm, he wouldn’t hesitate to kill!

After figuring things out, Zhou Qing accelerated again.

However, at this moment—

"Boom!"

The azure-gray sky suddenly twisted and deformed into three giant golden pupils!

The pupils were cold and merciless, overlooking the earth, finally locking onto Zhou Qing.

"You ruined my plan, no matter who you are, this sage will kill you!"

The voice of Taichu Master echoed from the heavens, descending like divine wrath, shaking the void.

"Heh..."

Zhou Qing completely ignored this threat, moving like lightning straight towards the exit.

Soon after, he saw the narrow crack allowing passage for only one person.

Without a moment’s hesitation, Zhou Qing transformed into the second form of the Golden-Winged Roc, wings folding like a sharp arrow, shooting swiftly forward...

...

Zhou Qing, having escaped the Taichu Secret Realm, did not immediately return to the White Jade Taixu Courtyard to find Yu Yan and Yaoyao. Instead, he went the opposite way, randomly choosing a remote mountain range.

This Taichu Master, in his lifetime, was a powerhouse of the Earth Venerable Realm, a pinnacle existence of a Level 5 Cultivation Country, and nearly became a National Guardian Divine Beast!

The last time he heard this term was from his second uncle’s mouth—a pure-blooded Golden Crow, the National Guardian Divine Beast of a certain Level 6 Cultivation Country!

The methods of such existences cannot be speculated by ordinary cultivators.

For safety’s sake, he must swiftly refine the Essence Blood from the Blood Phoenix Bone!

Zhou Qing chose a secluded valley, formed a seal with his hands, and set up multiple layers of restrictions.

"Seal!"

A beam of golden light shot from his fingertip, transforming into complex runes, imprinted on the surrounding rock walls.

Immediately afterward, he took out several array flags, placing them in key positions, forming a hidden great array.

Ensuring everything was foolproof, he cautiously brought out the piece of Blood Phoenix Bone.

The Blood Phoenix Bone was entirely crimson, its naturally formed patterns resembling outstretched Phoenix wings, emitting a fiery aura.

Most peculiarly, golden liquid seemed to flow faintly within the joints, like a living creature writhing slowly.

"Such strong vitality!"

Zhou Qing took a deep breath, sitting cross-legged, and suspended the Blood Phoenix Bone above his palm with an excited heart.

"Refine!"

He shouted softly, fully activating the "Yin Yang Skills" inside him, black and white spiritual power transforming into Yin Yang fire, enveloping the Blood Phoenix Bone.

A strand of Purple Gold Thunderbolt weaved through the flames, crackling as it went.

"Sizzle——"

The Blood Phoenix Bone trembled violently within the Yin Yang fire, the crimson patterns on its surface suddenly lighting up, as if coming to life, twisting and deforming in the flames.

The Purple Gold Thunderbolt continuously struck, causing the bone segment to tremble repeatedly, its internal golden liquid beginning to boil.

"Condense!"

Zhou Qing formed a sealing hand sign, the Yin Yang fire abruptly contracted, Purple Gold Thunderbolt turning into a net of electricity to fully cover the Blood Phoenix Bone.

The bone segment emitted a straining "crack" sound, its surface beginning to show fine cracks.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, the Blood Phoenix Bone exploded with blinding blood light, as three streams of gold and red light burst from the bone segment, spiraling in the air, transforming into mini Phoenixes made of three drops of Essence Blood!

"Screech——"

Three Phoenix cries resounded simultaneously, the three mini Phoenixes entwined with Purple Gold Thunderbolt, attempting to break free from the constraints of the Yin Yang fire.

Every flap of their wings shook the valley, causing rock walls to crumble.

"Yin Yang Lock!"

Zhou Qing’s eyes flashed with brilliance, his hands swiftly coming together.

Black and white spiritual power transformed into three chains, each entwined with Purple Gold Thunderbolts, darting toward the mini Phoenixes like dragons emerging to sea.

"Crackle!"

Thunder boomed, and the three mini Phoenixes let out wails, being tightly bound by the chains.

They struggled for a moment, ultimately reverting into three drops of Essence Blood, suspended before Zhou Qing.

These three drops of Essence Blood were merely the size of rice grains, yet contained an overwhelming pressure, their surfaces occasionally manifesting miniaturized Blood Phoenix shadows, eager to soar.

"Success!"

Zhou Qing exhaled deeply, his eyes sparkling with undisguised excitement.

It’s important to note that the last time he obtained a piece of Blood Phoenix Bone from beneath the Desolate Forbidden Stone Platform, he only managed to refine a single drop of Essence Blood.

But this time, he got three drops in one shot, far exceeding his expectations!

This adventure was worth it!

Without hesitation, Zhou Qing immediately retrieved a pure white Cold Jade Bottle from his storage ring.

Then he injected all three drops of Essence Blood into it for sealing.

To ensure absolute safety, he must wait until after midnight, once the [Daily Reflection] refreshes, to confirm the Essence Blood is problem-free, before giving it to Han Yi to use.
