Fighting: Practice makes it real, start with a poisonous body.

Chapter 208 The Countdown to the Imperial Clan's Life Begins!
Eagle Phoenix withdrew its gaze from the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit and just met Su Yun's eyes.

The moment their eyes met, his body suddenly froze, as if bound by invisible shackles, making even breathing difficult.

The bloodline pressure erupting from Su Yun swept over like a tsunami. It was the absolute hegemony of the ancient Heavenly Phoenix, the crushing suppression of a superior bloodline over a subordinate!
What's even more terrifying is that this pressure not only affects his body, but also directly impacts his mind!

The little bit of greed that had been hidden in their hearts was instantly crushed in the face of this absolute power, leaving not even a thought of resistance, only a deep-seated awe and fear.

"Your subordinate... Your subordinate knows his mistake!"

Eagle Phoenix's forehead instantly broke out in a cold sweat. He quickly lowered his head, hiding all his emotions behind his downcast eyelids, and forced a look of utmost reverence on his face.

A cold smile flashed in Su Yun's eyes, but it disappeared in an instant.

My blood isn't so easy to get.

Su Yun said indifferently, "You did a good job this time."

Your next task is to continue your covert operations on the mainland.

"I am going to refine the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit. When I achieve the body of a Dragon-Phoenix and summon you all again, that will be the time for us to unify the beast race and conquer the continent."

"Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

Phoenix's expression was one of fervor.

The Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit contains the life-long power of two Battle Saints, as well as the essence of heaven and earth absorbed during its ten thousand years of development.

Refining it is not so easy; it takes time.

But none of that matters! They can wait!
With the body of a dragon and phoenix, even a Dou Sheng would be invincible among those of the same level. At that time, the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan will finally see the light at the end of the tunnel!
"and many more."

A shadow of gloom flashed in Eagle Phoenix's eyes as he respectfully said, "Your Majesty, why don't we protect you?"

Otherwise, if some unscrupulous person were to disturb your refining of the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit, causing you to fail at the last moment, that would be terrible.

Phoenix pondered for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, what Eagle Phoenix said makes sense. Let us protect you."

"no need."

Su Yun coldly refused, saying, "I have already found a good place, the safest place in the world, where no one would dare to trespass."

"You're just getting in the way."

"Now that Your Majesty has a good plan, I am relieved."

Phoenix did not force the issue.

A hint of resentment flashed through Eagle Phoenix's heart, but she dared not refute it at this moment.

"Yes, during the time you are lying in wait on the continent, you must also keep a close eye on the movements of the human race at all times... especially the six ancient races."

These guys have been hunting me for ages. Once I emerge from seclusion, they'll be the first to be dealt with!

Su Yun said coldly.

"Yes!"

With a flick of his purple robe, Su Yun tore through the void and departed.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty!"

…………

Su Yun traveled through the beast realm, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes.

"We managed to fool the Three Heavenly Demon Phoenixes. After this test, we didn't expect that only Eagle Phoenix would be the traitor."

Indeed, Phoenix and Kunhuang were truly loyal, which was beyond Su Yun's expectations.

Those who are family know their own affairs. This so-called emperor, since his appearance, has always been making empty promises and drawing up grand schemes for the three Heavenly Demon Phoenixes, never giving them any real benefits.

Even so, gaining the loyalty of two Dou Sheng is already an unexpected bonus. "As for Eagle Phoenix, there's no need to rush to deal with it."

The sword technique—Demon Slayer—is extremely effective against beastmen. Even without this manifestation, killing him would be a piece of cake for me, let alone now.

He really couldn't take a one-star Dou Sheng seriously; his current focus should be on how to absorb the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit!
A sharp glint flashed in Su Yun's eyes.

"With Xiao Yan's help, Zi Yan refined the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit and became a one-star Dou Sheng as soon as she emerged from seclusion."

Furthermore, she still possessed a vast amount of energy, and subsequently, within a short period of time, she advanced to the early stage of the four-star Dou Sheng realm.

And this was all while Zi Yan's original cultivation level was only Dou Zong...

If she's like this, what astonishing improvement would I have made?

Su Yun's lips curled slightly, then quickly disappeared: "However, there is one problem that needs to be solved."

With a slight thought, he brought up the system.

[Sword Emperor inheritance, materializing, progress 5.23%...]

[Dragon and Phoenix Inheritance, materializing, progress 1.01%...]

"Because I frequently caused trouble using Xiao Jibai's identity, the six ancient clans valued the Sword Emperor's inheritance more, and Xiao Jibai's wanted status spread throughout the continent... and so on, the materialization progress of the Sword Emperor's inheritance has increased considerably."

In comparison, the Dragon-Phoenix Inheritance is much less significant, but at least it's 1%, which is enough to save the trouble of using additional Realization Points to make up for the lost progress.

In the official history of Dou Qi Continent, the success rate of refining the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit is not high. Excluding Zi Yan, out of five Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruits, two Dragon-Phoenix Dou Emperors emerged.

Even with Zi Yan included, it's still only a 50/50 split.

Such a probability is unacceptable to Su Yun.

There is no stopping the refining of the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit; once it fails, one will be devoured and killed by the enormous energy!

Fortunately, the greatest value of the identity of the Dragon-Phoenix Son lies in consuming the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit.

When designing this identity from the very beginning, Su Yun had already considered all the issues, including how to refine the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit.

"The cunning Dragon-Phoenix Battle Emperor, before his ascension, created a secret technique that guarantees 100% success in refining the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit in order to pave the way for his son. That makes perfect sense, doesn't it?"

Su Yun stretched out his palm, palm facing up, and a wisp of green flame appeared.

"Strange Fire is a good thing. With it, you can refine all things, including the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit."

Theoretically, there is no upper limit to the power of any strange fire, and the Netherworld Poison Fire will increase in power as my cultivation level increases.

However, my cultivation level has improved too quickly this time. The Netherworld Poison Fire is still at the Dou Zun level. It will take some time before I can advance to the Half-Saint level.

"It would be even more difficult to cultivate it to the point where it could refine the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit 100%..."

Su Yun pondered for a moment and calculated the time: "It will take three years, a full three years, to successfully cultivate the Netherworld Poison Fire."

"It's too long, I can't wait that long, so what should I do?"

Fortunately, on the Dou Qi Continent, there is a place where the flow of time can be accelerated...

Heavenly Tomb!

"Refining the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit and achieving the body of a Dragon-Phoenix will be the time of the destruction of the six ancient races."

But I really don't want to wait, and I'm unwilling to wait any longer! I'm already a half-saint, and I have half a Dou Di sword intent protecting me! It's time to make some people pay for their sins first! Consider this an appetizer before the great reckoning...

"Besides completing the secret technique, there's another grand plan to be laid out on this trip to the Heavenly Tomb..."

A strange and insane smile spread across Su Yun's face.

"Tremble, tremble! The six ancient races, your lives are now on a countdown!"
