Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 663 Blood Phoenix

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, another five thousand years have passed. The Star Emperor's Great Dao Imprint has finally completely disappeared.

Although the Star Emperor is not human, he has always maintained a very low profile because of his background. Even after he finally succeeded in attaining enlightenment, he only used methods to make the inheritance of his race more stable, and did not allow them to expand on a large scale.

For this reason, the existence of the Star Emperor has had little impact on the vast majority of races in the human universe.

However, the human race is completely different. Although the current emperor is not human and has no relation to the human race, with Gu Qun and Cang Yuan, who are considered the second strongest in the world with their indestructible golden bodies and heavenly dominance, as well as Xin Lingxiao, the son of the Ming Emperor of the God Race, and Cang Yun, who once followed the Taiyin Emperor, the human race's power has become more stable.

Therefore, during the ten thousand years since the Star Emperor disappeared, the human race's position remained unshakeable. However, other ancient races continued to wage war against each other, vying for various rights.

However, perhaps because other ancient tribes have never been at peace with each other, these ancient tribes have relied on war to sustain themselves, resulting in a significant increase in their average strength.

However, they dared not challenge the human race, which had a deep-rooted history.

The war that occurred in this era eventually affected a long-established clan, the Blood Phoenix Ancient Clan.

The Blood Phoenix Ancient Clan possesses the form of a divine phoenix and also has a rebirth power similar to that of the Phoenix lineage. Their bloodline is almost a weakened version of the legendary phoenix.

Therefore, since the mythological era, this race has always been considered to be the descendants of the legendary phoenix, but since there are no immortals in the mortal world, their bloodline has degenerated.

Because the progenitor of the Blood Phoenix clan is too ancient to be verified, the Blood Phoenix clan itself holds the belief that they are descendants of the Phoenix.

But all of this was shattered the moment the Immortal Emperor was born at the beginning of this era.

Other races and cultivators in the human universe speculated that the Undying Emperor was the legendary Immortal Phoenix, otherwise how could he possess such powerful strength and become the number one person of this era? But speculation is speculation after all, and they had no ability to verify this matter, so they only regarded it as a rumor.

However, for the eight divine generals under the command of the Immortal Emperor, as well as the Phoenix Maiden Clan and the Blood Phoenix Clan, they were the direct descendants of the Immortal Emperor and the core of the Immortal Divine Dynasty. Therefore, they could confirm that the Immortal Emperor was the real Immortal Phoenix.

The appearance of the Undying Emperor is of little importance to other races, but it is very important to the Blood Phoenix Clan and the Phoenix Maiden Clan.

Under the investigation of this true immortal phoenix, the Blood Phoenix clan learned that their lineage was merely very similar to the real phoenix, a race formed by replicating the powerful immortal phoenix of the past in the human universe, and had no relation to the real phoenix.

This was indeed a blow to the Blood Phoenix clan. The belief they had held for so many years turned out to be a complete mistake.

Fortunately, there was the Undying Queen at that time. This genius, who was very similar to the phoenix but had the body of a holy spirit, guided them to further develop their bloodline power and became one of the ancient ancestors of their race.

After she became the Immortal Empress, they naturally joined the core of the Immortal Dynasty as her clansmen and received personal guidance from the Immortal Emperor.

Therefore, although they lost a nominal title, they gained enormous practical benefits.

Thus, relying on the Undying Divine Dynasty, the Blood Phoenix Clan's power grew rapidly, quickly becoming one of the top clans in the human universe. Later, the Heavenly Emperor's son failed to attain enlightenment several times and chose to disband the Undying Divine Dynasty. The Blood Phoenix Clan could only accept this reality, occupying a large portion of the Divine Dynasty's territory and beginning to seek its own development.

As time went by, the situation in the human universe continued to change, and the Blood Phoenix Clan was thus targeted by other ancient clans.

After all, when the Undying Divine Dynasty was divided up, their Blood Phoenix Clan had gained immense benefits. Although they were very powerful, preserving these resources in the midst of chaos was no easy task.

As a result, the Blood Phoenix Clan weakened year after year, losing a large amount of resources and ancient stars that it had acquired in the past due to the Undying God Dynasty. In the end, it could only control the star field near its ancestral home, the Blood Phoenix Ancient Star, and a portion of the territory it had developed on the Big Dipper during the Undying God Dynasty.

At first, these ten major clans, who did not come from the Divine Dynasty, were able to join forces to fight the enemy. However, as the pressure gradually increased, they gradually became unable to protect themselves and eventually had to fight in different places.

Over the years, the power of their ten tribes has suffered tremendous losses, never to regain its former glory. The Blood Phoenix tribe, due to the turbulent times in its region, has become the most severely weakened of the ten tribes.

In the years following the Star Emperor's ascension, the Blood Phoenix Clan faced an even more dire situation. Their ancestral star was being spied on by other races, and they could only rely on the legacy they had left behind to protect themselves.

But at this very moment, a genius was born from the Blood Phoenix clan, which was in a period of decline. At the time of his birth, his spiritual light burst forth from his body, manifesting in the sky as a blood-red phoenix.

The blood phoenix circled above him for a while, then let out a clear cry, which immediately attracted countless divine birds from the Blood Phoenix Ancient Star to gather together, forming a scene of hundreds of birds paying homage to the phoenix. It was not until half a day later that it completely disappeared.

After this extraordinary event, the Blood Phoenix clan placed great hope in this child.

After examining the infant closely, they discovered that the infant's bloodline power was extremely strong, a peak that no one in their clan could ever match.

All the strange phenomena were caused by the fact that his bloodline power was too strong, resulting in the natural leakage of his aura.

Without a doubt, he was the hope for the resurgence of the declining Blood Phoenix clan. Thus, from the day of his birth, he became the divine son of the Blood Phoenix clan, and his whereabouts were strictly kept secret to prevent him from being targeted by hostile forces.

As the child grew, he finally began his cultivation. As a result, the higher-ups of the Blood Phoenix Clan were amazed by the child's talent and directly confirmed his position as a divine son.

This child easily mastered the ancient scriptures and supernatural powers left behind by the Immortal Emperor and Immortal Empress, fully utilizing the power of his own bloodline and laying the best foundation for his future.

In the decades that followed, he made great strides in his cultivation, constantly growing stronger and defeating his contemporaries in the Blood Phoenix Clan with overwhelming superiority, ultimately solidifying his position as the Son of God.

Without a doubt, his performance in the early stages was worthy of being called that of a young ancient emperor.

If it weren't for the example of Du Mu, who was even more stunning in the early stages but whose fame was short-lived, the status of this Blood Phoenix might have been even higher.

Even so, he has become the undisputed number one among the younger generation of the Blood Phoenix Clan.
