Whether it was the Phoenix Elder or Su Fei, their eyes widened in disbelief. Mu Chen was actually unafraid of the Demonic Qi, which was astounding.
Demonic Qi or any Divine Power, facing the Divine Dragon Body, were merely nutrients, thus Mu Chen dared to boldly absorb them.
Nevertheless, Mu Chen didn’t have a 100% certainty, after all, it was the Essence Blood of the Demon King, but since the Phoenix Elder generously gave such an opportunity to Liu Yuxi, Mu Chen naturally decided to take the risk.
Just like that, in no more than an hour, all of the Phoenix Elder’s Demonic Qi was absorbed by Mu Chen into his Divine Dragon Bloodline, where the demonic forces and the Divine Dragon Body began a fierce clash.
"How terrifying." As soon as the clash began, Mu Chen was shocked. The single drop of Essence Blood was too resilient, the Divine Dragon Body unable to suppress or refine it temporarily, and moreover, the Demonic Qi slowly flowed towards Mu Chen’s Meridians.
"What’s wrong?" The recently recovered Phoenix Elder asked with a very worried expression.
"Mu Chen, can you not absorb it?"
"It’s alright, I can absorb it, I’ll try another method," said Mu Chen,
"Mm," both women nodded.
"Divine Dragon Technique, refine." Mu Chen shouted, not giving in to doubts, slowly beginning the refinement process.
"It’s working." Mu Chen was surprised and delighted, as he was actually able to counteract and refine the Demonic Energy.
"Is it really working?" the two women asked in delight.
"Mm," Mu Chen responded, immediately closing his eyes and refining like mad.
"That’s great, you almost lost your life there," the Phoenix Elder exclaimed with joy, as Mu Chen was able to hold his ground, which was the best possible outcome.
"Elder, I’m going to transfer my power to you now," Su Fei said, about to perform a Sealing.
"Are you mad? My body can bear the enlightenment, but doing that is courting death. Do you understand?" The Phoenix Elder immediately stopped her.
"But I’ve gained everything from the Elder, it’s not fair," Su Fei earnestly said.
"Being desire-less and untroubled, whether there are Realms or not, being without troubles, maybe then I can comprehend the highest Realm," Phoenix Elder sighed.
"This..." Su Fei felt helpless, not knowing how to respond.
"Here, this is the Cultivation Technique inherited from generations of Phoenix Elders, the Phoenix Technique. I hope you can carry it forward," the Phoenix Elder said, transferring a surge of Soul Power into Su Fei’s mind.
"The Phoenix Technique?" Su Fei’s expression changed, feeling a new Cultivation Technique emerge in her mind.
"Alright, I’m going into seclusion now, from here on out, worldly affairs have nothing to do with me. Take care of the Phoenix Clan," said the Phoenix Elder, walking towards a stone wall.
"As you command, Elder," Su Fei knelt down, bowing to the Phoenix Elder.
The Phoenix Elder, having protected their Phoenix Clan for hundreds of years with numerous contributions, naturally deserved Su Fei’s worship.
"Holy King’s Ninth Layer Heaven, could it be the legendary Nihility Realm?" Su Fei murmured, sitting down to meditate and contemplate cultivation.
The Nihility Realm, a Realm beyond the Ninth Layer Heaven of the Holy King, mysterious and immensely powerful, a realm, legend has it, only powerful beings have reached.
The Nihility Realm, elusive and profound, comprehending the great Dao, perhaps, many, including the Phoenix Elder, have been thwarted by this Realm.
Just like that, the two of them continued cultivating, and after a full ten days, Mu Chen finally opened his eyes, having thoroughly refined the Essence Blood of the Demon King, unintentionally reaching the peak of the God Realm. But, he was also nearing the First Layer Heaven of the God Realm.
"Fortune comes after disaster!" exclaimed Mu Chen as he opened his eyes.
It was a calamity, but the gains Mu Chen made after surviving it were unimaginable.
"Mu Chen, how is it now?" As soon as Mu Chen woke up, Su Fei immediately opened her eyes and asked.
"No worries, how about you?"
"I’m doing great, I feel so powerful, even stronger than you."
"Well, you’re a freak." Mu Chen sighed helplessly as he involuntarily received the power of the Phoenix elder, leaving him no choice.
"Mu Chen, what do we do next? Continue cultivating here or leave?"
"Of course we’re leaving." Mu Chen remembered that a month since the great battle with Death God and Fire God was nearly up, and they had to leave soon.
"Mm, let’s hurry up and leave then!" Su Fei nodded.
"Honey, this time, those filthy people from Phoenix Mountain must die without a burial place." Mu Chen said seriously, his killing intent rising.
"You don’t have to tell me that — I’d do it anyway."
"If we take care of the Phoenix Clan, would you come with me?"
"I’m utterly disappointed in the Phoenix Clan, I will stay by your side." Su Fei said with a smile that could topple cities and states.
"Thank you for always loving me." Mu Chen said and kissed Su Fei’s forehead.
"I also thank you for choosing to love me again." Su Fei hugged Mu Chen and said earnestly.
"If it weren’t for my wife being pregnant, I’d really love to take you right here, right now, and taste you." Mu Chen said with a slight evil smile.
"Stinky pervert, I hate that." Su Fei blushed as she spoke.
"Come on, honey, you weren’t blushing when you forced yourself on me back then."
"I did that to save you."
"I know, I know my wife is the best, but honey, you must have been pregnant for several months now, right? Why is your belly still so small?" Mu Chen asked.
"I don’t like having a big belly, it looks terrible, so I made it smaller."
"Alright then." Mu Chen laughed, understanding what was happening.
Afterwards, as the couple playfully relived their early days of love, they unknowingly left the energy layer and returned to the outside world, back to Phoenix Mountain. However, at that moment, Phoenix Mountain, or rather the outside world, had already returned to calm, as the great battle seemed to have been over long ago.
"I wonder how the Nine-tailed Raccoon and Earth God are doing, and what forces they represent, and why they helped me?" Mu Chen pondered with various doubts.
"Who’s there?" Just as they appeared, the strong members of the Phoenix Clan blinked an eye and surrounded Mu Chen and Su Fei.
"What’s going on? Aren’t these two supposed to be dead?"
For a moment, all the strong ones who appeared changed their expressions, unable to believe what they were seeing.
"Stop all the chirping here, have Clan Leader Phoenix come out, we have some accounts to settle." Mu Chen said with a smile.
"Quick, go notify the Clan Leader to come out quickly," among them, the Supreme Elder, being the strongest, told someone nearby.
"But you all will die too, such a disgraceful clan of power, the Phoenix Clan might as well not keep you." Mu Chen spoke, and the terrifying Apollo Flames blinked and lashed out in front of everyone.
"Evil God, I’m not afraid of you." The Supreme Elder, scornful, turned into a phoenix and attacked Mu Chen.
"The same move again, honey, I’ll leave this to you, I’ll handle the others." Mu Chen smiled.
"Mm," Su Fei nodded, and with a blink she disappeared.
