Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 280 Bloodline Suppression

Ning Fei slowly withdrew his long spear, gently flicking off the silver blood at its tip. This drop of silver blood, like mercury, landed with a sound, actually creating a small crater in the bluestone path.

Although Ning Fei was not injured by this move and successfully won, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. He had just used the "Previous" secret technique to briefly unleash his primordial spirit power, directly seeing through the flaw in the Sun and Moon Divine General's divine power transformation, and thus defeating his opponent in one fell swoop.

Although he gained the upper hand with a swift victory, given the strength of the Sun and Moon Divine General, these seven individuals were indeed among the most outstanding talents, enough to make him feel troubled.

Moreover, Ning Fei not only had to defeat these seven people in the shortest amount of time, but also had to face Huang Tian, ​​the so-called Immortal Spirit Descendant, behind them. The current situation was indeed very unfavorable for him. However, Ning Fei did not panic in the slightest and remained calm. His heart and his hands were as steady as mountains.

Sun and Moon God wiped the blood from his brow, his face filled with shame, and wanted to flee immediately. He was ashamed to face his six brothers and his lord, Huang Tian. Even his Dao heart began to waver. But in the end, he suppressed his impulse, made way for Ning Fei, landed on the ground, and bowed his head.

The Demon God walked up to him, slapped him hard across the face, and said, "Do you know what you did wrong?"

The Sun and Moon God General said in a low voice, "I have no face to face my brothers and lord after being defeated in one move. Tomorrow I will return to my hometown and never live again."

The Demon God was furious and slapped him again: "Think again, where exactly did you go wrong? If you're still looking so dejected, then I'll have to clean house."

The Sun and Moon God covered his face, the complex emotions of regret, anger, and sorrow that had been swirling in his heart were swept away, and his mind became clear. After a moment's thought, he suddenly understood.

The Sun and Moon God General said, "My mistake was underestimating the enemy and using a divine power that I had not yet fully mastered, which led to my weakness being exploited. My biggest mistake was that even though my lord had already pointed out the problem with this divine power of mine, I never corrected it, which led to today's defeat."

The other generals also showed their approval upon hearing this. They did not blame him for his defeat in the first battle, which dampened their morale. Instead, they were pleased with his growth.

Having regained his senses, the Sun and Moon God bowed to Ning Fei in the sky and said, "Impressive skills, I am ashamed to admit my inferiority. However, I will continue to challenge you in the future."

Ning Fei looked at the seven divine generals and couldn't help but become more vigilant. However, the harmonious way they got along did make him feel a little favorably disposed towards them. At the same time, he also became curious about the mysterious prodigy named Huang Tian.

After all, he only managed to see through the flaw in the Sun and Moon Divine General's technique with the help of the former secret technique, thus winning with minimal cost and almost no injury. I wonder how Huang Tian discovered it.

Ning Fei said, "Then I look forward to your next challenge. The other six friends, will you come one by one, or all at once?"

From the increasingly fervent aura of these people, Ning Fei sensed an intense fighting spirit and knew they wouldn't stop. Since that was the case, he had no choice but to fight to the very end.

Kun Tian Shen Jiang said, "Although we know we cannot defeat you, we also have our own pride. I will be the second one."

Having said that, he approached Ning Fei, and a great battle ensued. The other six divine generals, who were already wary of Ning Fei, knew that he was adept at using extreme sharpness and unparalleled insight to seize weaknesses and defeat his enemies in one strike, so they all avoided this situation.

The battle began to drag on, and after a series of fierce battles, Ning Fei finally started to get injured.

At the end of this bluestone path stood a city gate, where only two people sat facing each other. Huang Tian took a small sip of his wine, his gaze fixed on Ning Fei, who was engaged in a fierce battle in the sky ahead, though he was facing the woman.

He chuckled and said, "Ning Fei, you're quite something. Tell me, if I used you as a bargaining chip, could I recruit him as my top general?"

Upon learning of Ning Fei's existence, Huang Tian suddenly became extremely interested in him. The reason the ancient city was emptied of its inhabitants was because Huang Tian proposed to fight Ning Fei there.

So the Great Sage guarding the ancient road stepped forward and cleared this battlefield for them. Of course, to prevent any accidents from happening to them, or to prevent them from using any dishonorable means to stifle the genius, there were actually two Great Sages hidden in the void at this time, ready to take action at any time.

As for the woman opposite him, she was naturally Ning Fei's beloved, and also the Immortal Queen from the original timeline. Huang Tian had specially gone to the later levels to bring her here.

Of course, this woman was actually quite strong, comparable to his seven generals, but Huang Tian captured her with just one move.

Although Huang Tian's raw strength was indeed far superior to hers, the one-hit kill was not due to strength, but because a portion of the phoenix bloodline within her body had awakened due to ancestral atavism.

Huang Tian was not only a true phoenix from the Immortal Realm, but also possessed the most elite phoenix bloodline. He naturally had an unparalleled understanding of his own bloodline power. This also meant that he was completely able to restrain this unorthodox practitioner who had only awakened a portion of the phoenix bloodline.

As long as he used his own bloodline power to activate the woman's phoenix bloodline and create a bloodline suppression, she would be controlled by him and unable to exert her full strength. Therefore, Huang Tian brought her here very easily.

In the original timeline, the reason she became the Undying Empress was not because the Undying Emperor liked her or had any special fetishes. It was simply because he needed someone with a similar bloodline to him to give birth to a pure-blooded phoenix child, and the Undying Empress happened to be the one with the purest phoenix bloodline that he could find.

In the current timeline, while the Immortal Emperor does desire offspring, he isn't particularly eager. After witnessing Ning Fei's performance, he developed a fondness for her talent. Compared to Ning Fei, this woman with phoenix blood is nothing special.

At this moment, the Phoenix Maiden was utterly shocked. She believed her bloodline was already among the best in the mortal realm, but the person before her far surpassed her expectations, practically a true celestial being. Could this mysterious man named Huang Tian be a real phoenix? She couldn't think of any other possibility.

After all, the aura emanating from that bloodline suppression that rendered her powerless to resist was truly extraordinary.

Although her mind was in complete turmoil, she still said after hearing Huang Tian's words, "Impossible."

Huang Tian smiled slightly and said, "You are so important to him, how could it be impossible?"

The Phoenix Maiden resolutely said, "If you want to use me to blackmail him, then I will just kill myself."

Huang Tian's smile deepened, and she said, "What a touching display of affection! I'm quite moved."
