Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 672 Dao-Merging Soldier

Having reached his twilight years, the Blood Phoenix Emperor only needed to pay a little attention to find that the Blood Phoenix clan was still thriving and required no further attention. Therefore, he put aside his distractions and focused on adjusting his own condition, preparing to take the next step.

At this moment, the Undying Emperor silently infiltrated Blood Phoenix Mountain and arrived opposite the Blood Phoenix Emperor.

Over the years, the Blood Phoenix Emperor and the Undying Emperor had frequent exchanges. Through these exchanges, they modified and improved the techniques they were about to use in many ways, thus forging a very close relationship.

When Huang Xudao was born, the Undying Emperor had already personally come to Blood Phoenix Mountain to help Huang Xudao establish his foundation with his own essence and blood. Therefore, his arrival this time was not unexpected by the Blood Phoenix Emperor. Or rather, he would have been worried if the Undying Emperor hadn't come.

Although this method still relies more on oneself, having someone like the Immortal Emperor watching over him makes him feel more at ease.

The Blood Phoenix Emperor said, "Your Majesty, you have arrived."

The Immortal Emperor said, "Are you ready? If you fail to achieve complete success, it's not too late to change your mind now."

The Blood Phoenix Emperor said, "Your Majesty is overthinking it. We've come this far, how could I possibly give up halfway? I'm grateful for Your Majesty's guidance this time."

The Undying Emperor said, "Very well then. Once you have finished, we will go to the Primordial Ancient Mine together to cultivate in seclusion."

The Blood Phoenix Emperor took one last look at the Phoenix Void Path deep within Blood Phoenix Mountain and the thriving Blood Phoenix Clan on the Blood Phoenix Ancient Star, and said, "Good."

So, the Blood Phoenix Emperor took a deep breath, and the laws of his entire body continuously converged and merged, shining a dazzling blood-red divine light within the Immortal Platform.

Soon, a blood-red divine phoenix flew out from his immortal platform and was sealed by the Blood Phoenix Emperor into the supreme imperial weapon he had previously refined, namely the Phoenix Winged Gilded Halberd.

This crimson divine phoenix is ​​the Dao Fruit of the Blood Phoenix Emperor. He comprehended the laws of the Primordial Heavenly Venerable and successfully separated his own Dao Fruit, merging it into the Phoenix Winged Golden Halberd for nurturing.

According to their budget, this Dao Fruit is the key to Blood Phoenix Emperor breaking the artifact body and reshaping the true form of Blood Phoenix. Therefore, Blood Phoenix Emperor is very concerned about it and has added many measures to protect it.

Just in case, the Undying Emperor also helped the Blood Phoenix Emperor leave some defensive measures in case his Dao Fruit was damaged.

After his Dao Fruit merged into it, the deity of the Phoenix Winged Golden Halberd was naturally and continuously assimilated, seemingly destined to become the divine embryo of the Blood Phoenix Emperor.

This was originally a transformation method, but it took too long, so it can only serve as one of the important supplements for the Blood Phoenix Emperor's future sublimation.

Of course, this method, like that of the Primordial Celestial Venerable, would result in the loss of the essence of one's weapon and its complete destruction if successful.

Therefore, while using the Phoenix Winged Gilded Halberd that accompanied him on his path to enlightenment as nourishment, the Blood Phoenix Emperor also forged another supreme imperial weapon to be passed down through generations.

From his first life, he knew that he would leave the mortal world sooner or later, so he began preparing to refine his second supreme imperial weapon very early on, and now it has come in handy.

This supreme imperial weapon was also a phoenix-winged gilded halberd, but few members of the Blood Phoenix Clan even noticed that their heirloom imperial weapon had been replaced with another one.

Although the Blood Phoenix Emperor's separation of its Dao Fruit wasn't as extreme as that of the Primordial Heavenly Venerable, who even stripped away his own origin, but merely a convergence of his own Dao techniques, it still weakened the Blood Phoenix Emperor instantly, making it difficult to maintain its already frail body. Seeing the Phoenix-Winged Golden Halberd gradually change, finally its divine essence receding inward, containing its own Dao Fruit within, and beginning to nurture it continuously, the Blood Phoenix Emperor knew that its first step had indeed been successful.

So the Blood Phoenix Emperor immediately seized the time to move on to the next step. After all, in his twilight years, he didn't have much time left to waste.

The piece of Phoenix Blood Crimson Gold, which had been cleansed and nurtured by the Immortal Emperor with his own essence and blood, had also been nurtured by the Blood Phoenix Emperor with his own essence and blood over the years. After 20,000 years, every inch of this immortal gold, which had not yet been refined into a weapon, was filled with the aura of the Blood Phoenix Emperor and the power of Nirvana.

At this point, the initial refining of the main material is complete.

So, the Blood Phoenix Emperor then used the previously set-up array to activate the Phoenix True Fire and begin refining this piece of immortal gold.

Besides their rebirth power, the Phoenix clan is also highly proficient in the laws of fire. Although the Undying Emperor is not an expert in this area, his Phoenix True Fire is already extremely powerful.

Therefore, the Blood Phoenix Emperor's grand formation was actually improved by the Undying Emperor, who also separated a wisp of his own primordial Dao Fire to construct it.

The Blood Phoenix Emperor and the Undying Emperor were quite conflicted about the exact shape of the Dao Weapon that was about to be merged. In the end, however, they decided to use the least risky method: to directly refine the immortal gold into the shape of the Blood Phoenix Emperor himself, replicating him one-to-one from the inside out.

While other shapes might be more effective when evolving from a physical form, directly replicating the Blood Phoenix Emperor's form would undoubtedly be more helpful for him to break through the physical form.

During this process, the Blood Phoenix Emperor also transformed into its original form, revealing a blood-red divine phoenix shape that echoed the piece of phoenix blood-red gold.

Subsequently, the Blood Phoenix Emperor's primordial spirit left his body, using a secret technique to transform his physical body into a state of being half-alive and half-dead.

The body of an emperor is one of the top materials for refining magical artifacts. Therefore, the addition of the Blood Phoenix Emperor's body naturally makes this special Dao weapon, which perfectly replicates his appearance, even more extraordinary.

During this process, the Blood Phoenix Emperor even truly felt that the Dao Soldier had become his new body.

With the help of the Undying Emperor, the Blood Phoenix Emperor quickly refined this special supreme imperial weapon, naturally weaving patterns belonging to the power of Nirvana within it.

Without further hesitation, the Blood Phoenix Emperor directly poured his primordial spirit into it, using the technique of merging primordial spirit with the Dao weapon. The deity within this Dao weapon had only just been born when it was directly swallowed up and merged into one by the Blood Phoenix Emperor's primordial spirit.

Although the Blood Phoenix Emperor was still in a deep slumber and would need considerable time to awaken, his method of merging his primordial spirit with the Dao weapon had indeed succeeded. Thus, a unique supreme imperial weapon was born.

The next step is to see if the Blood Phoenix Emperor can gradually recover under this condition and eventually maintain a clear mind, instead of remaining in a daze as before and unable to recover.

The Undying Emperor's eyes flashed with five-colored divine light. Although this Dao weapon was an inanimate object, it truly maintained a trace of vitality under his series of secret techniques, allowing the Blood Phoenix Emperor's primordial spirit to remain immortal even though it had transformed into another form.

The Immortal Emperor knew that, at least for the time being, his magic was not in trouble.

Therefore, the Undying Emperor took the Dao weapon combined by the Blood Phoenix Emperor, the Phoenix Winged Gold Halberd nurtured by the Blood Phoenix Emperor, and the Divine Phoenix Immortal Elixir with him and went to the Primordial Ancient Mine.
