People in Doupo: Unparalleled Talents Actually Bring a System

Seeing this, Xiao Ling's eyes, which had originally held a hint of anticipation, were now quickly clouded with doubt. He pondered inwardly, wondering what exactly was causing this.

Could it be that the quality of this ninth-order Heavenly Demon Phoenix Demon Core is not enough to break the current balance?

This thought flashed through his mind, but he quickly rejected it. This shouldn't be the case, Xiao Ling thought to himself.

This magic core is of genuine ninth grade. Its owner was a top-notch warrior who looked down upon all the heroes in the Douqi Continent. The power of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix's origin contained in this magic core is absolutely pure and powerful, which should be enough.

Why, even now, is it still impossible for the Sky Phoenix Shadow to rival the Grand Void Ancient Dragon? The reason behind this is truly puzzling.

However, Xiao Ling did not give up. He immersed his mind again and conducted a more detailed investigation of the magic core and the energy flow between the two shadows.

Not long after, the doubts in his heart were finally resolved and the crux of the problem was found.

It turned out that although this ninth-order Heavenly Demon Phoenix Demon Core did contain tremendous energy, and its source was the Heavenly Phoenix lineage, it resonated and responded to a certain extent with the phantom of the ancient Heavenly Phoenix, which strengthened the phantom.

However, this resonance only remained at the most superficial level of connection. The energy in the magic core was not effectively absorbed and transformed by the ancient sky phoenix phantom, let alone generating continuous and powerful energy feedback to support and strengthen it.

On the other hand, the shadow of the Grand Void Ancient Dragon was a completely different story. Not only was it able to resonate with the Grand Void Ancient Dragon bloodline flowing through Zi Yan's body at the deepest level, it could also actively assimilate and absorb some of the surrounding energy, thereby continuously enhancing its own power and stability.

This made the dragon shadow more solid and powerful, and it firmly gained the upper hand.

In short, Xiao Ling now realized that the key to the problem was that he must find a way to make the energy in this Sky Demon Phoenix Demon Core truly accepted and absorbed by the phantom of the Ancient Sky Phoenix, and effectively converted into its power, so that a balance can be gradually established between it and the phantom of the Taixu Ancient Dragon, so that the two are no longer in a one-sided situation.

And such an arrangement is exactly the core issue that needs to be solved most at present.

As for how to allow the energy in the Demonic Core of the Sky Demon Phoenix to be fully absorbed by the phantom of the ancient Sky Phoenix?

This question lingered in Xiao Ling's mind. He thought about it for a while, and soon, a clear idea emerged in his mind.

On the Douqi Continent, there were few energy problems that could not be solved by the Strange Fire. Since simple energy resonance was not enough, further catalysis and guidance were required.

Xiao Ling had a plan in mind. He could refine this Heavenly Demon Phoenix Demon Core using the strange fire he controlled.

The strange fire possesses pure energy that can sort out and purify the power in the magic core, making it easier for the phantom to accept it.

After the energy in the magic core has been tempered and reshaped by the strange fire, it will be passed on to the phantom of the ancient sky phoenix. In this way, the phantom will be able to absorb and transform this power more smoothly and efficiently.

In this way, the effect of significantly enhancing the Sky Phoenix Phantom and greatly improving its performance can be achieved.

And this should be the most inappropriate key decision to solve the current dilemma.

He did it as soon as he thought of it. The next moment, as Xiao Ling's mind moved, a strange fire with a main body of cyan and gold jumped out of his body.

This strange fire emitted an extremely high temperature, but under Xiao Ling's exquisite control, not a single bit of it spread out.

Xiao Ling controlled the strange fire and quickly pounced towards the ninth-level Heavenly Demon Phoenix Demon Core.

At the same time, the strange fire quickly completely enveloped the magic core.

However, it is a ninth-level magic core after all, and its quality is so high that it is naturally not so easy to refine.

Xiao Ling also had no intention of saving the Dou Qi in his body. He continuously transferred the vast Dou Qi to the strange fire that was wrapping around the Demon Core of the Sky Demon Phoenix.

With the support of Xiao Ling's powerful fighting spirit, the power of the strange fire became more and more terrifying.

Soon, the Sky Demon Phoenix Demon Core reacted, and streams of pure golden energy emanated from the Demon Core.

Seeing this, Xiao Ling was about to control the energy and direct it towards the direction of the ancient sky phoenix's shadow.

However, what was unexpected was that the ancient phoenix's shadow seemed to have sensed something, and it opened its mouth and absorbed all the energy into its body.

His figure also became much more solid in an instant, and his aura also increased accordingly.

As if sensing the changes in its body, the ancient phoenix's shadow let out a sharp cry, as if venting its joy.

However, as if feeling provoked, the shadowy figure of the Great Void Ancient Dragon suddenly roared. This roar was so powerful that it completely shattered the little momentum that the Ancient Sky Phoenix had previously gathered.

However, the shadow of the ancient Sky Phoenix gradually condensed and became more and more imposing with the energy of the Sky Demon Phoenix's magic core. It was indeed not fake and could not be ignored at all.

Seeing this, Xiao Ling raised his eyebrows slightly, feeling delighted. It seemed that the method of refining with strange fire was indeed effective. His original worries gradually eased a little.

Chapter 635 Zi Yan wakes up

Under Xiao Ling's control, the cyan-gold strange fire turned into a raging wave of fire, like a greedy giant beast that entangled the ninth-level Sky Phoenix Demon Core layer by layer.

Under the high temperature, fine cracks appeared on the surface of the magic core, spreading like a spider web. Golden light seeped out from the cracks and turned into strands of pure energy under the roasting of the strange fire.

As soon as these energies appeared, they were keenly captured by the ancient sky phoenix phantom.

The phantom raised its head and let out a clear cry, and golden flames around it surged violently, like boiling molten gold.

Strands of energy flowed into the phantom's body along the flame patterns. The wings that were originally slightly illusory began to emit a substantial luster. As the tail feathers stretched out, tiny sparks fell and burned black marks on the altar.

However, after all, this magic core came from a ninth-level Heavenly Demon Phoenix, so its high quality is self-evident.

Even if Xiao Ling urged the strange fire to be refined, it would not be a matter of a day or night to refine it completely. Of course, the time required was not indefinite.

Moreover, as the refining continued, the energy released from the magic core became faster and faster.

After observing for a while, Xiao Ling made a rough calculation and concluded that it would only take about half a day to completely refine this ninth-rank Heavenly Demon Phoenix Demon Core.

By then, the energy shadow of the ancient sky phoenix will surely be able to truly reach a level on par with the energy shadow of the Taixu ancient dragon.

Time flows quietly amid the burning of strange fire and the surge of energy.

Xiao Ling was concentrating on refining the ninth-rank Heavenly Demon Phoenix Demon Core that contained terrifying power, but his perception was not completely immersed in the refining process. He still occasionally diverted a little of his attention to Zi Yan who was sleeping beside him.

He keenly noticed that with the continuous infusion of the tremendous energy from the Sky Demon Phoenix's core, the phantom of the ancient Sky Phoenix formed by golden light behind Zi Yan was becoming more solid inch by inch.

The wings, beak and claws, which were originally just vague outlines, now have clear textures. The hot air currents surrounding the body have also gathered into a more vigorous flame, making the majesty and fiery aura belonging to the Sky Phoenix steadily rise at a speed visible to the naked eye.

At the same time, the replenishment of energy seemed to temporarily relieve Zi Yan, who was under tremendous pressure.

The lifeless color on her pale cheek actually began to show a very faint but real blood color, just like melting ice and snow. Although her eyes were still closed and she was unconscious, her calm brows seemed to relax a little and were no longer as tightly furrowed as before.

This series of changes clearly confirmed Xiao Ling's deduction.

His eyes focused, and he became more convinced that only by allowing these two violent energies, representing the majestic power of the Ancient Sky Phoenix and the Taixu Ancient Dragon respectively, to finally reach a delicate balance, would it be the best, or even the only, way to guide Zi Yan to safely survive this energy shock and ultimately fuse the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit.

This discovery further strengthened Xiao Ling's determination.

Xiao Ling no longer hesitated and immediately poured more fighting spirit into the strange fire without reservation.

The flames, which were already extremely blazing, now burst out with even more violent and vigorous light, almost covering everything within a few feet. The speed of refining the ninth-level Heavenly Demon Phoenix Demon Core also suddenly increased!

After several more hours, Xiao Ling had refined most of the energy within the Sky Demon Phoenix's core. At this moment, the phantom of the ancient Sky Phoenix condensed behind Zi Yan suddenly moved.

Xiao Ling immediately looked intently. He saw the golden phoenix suddenly raise its head and let out a cry that resounded through the sky!

The cry contained a domineering power that looked down upon the world, as if announcing its existence.

On the other side, the shadow of the ancient Taixu dragon, condensed from deep purple energy, was obviously not willing to be outdone. It also let out a deafening dragon roar and confronted it from a distance.

However, the ancient sky phoenix's shadow at this moment was no longer as weak as before.

With the replenishment of the energy from the Sky Demon Phoenix Demon Core, it became extremely powerful, and its momentum could almost rival that of the Taixu Ancient Dragon.

Then, it raised its head, opened its huge beak that was like burning flames, and sucked in fiercely!

A powerful suction force instantly burst out from its mouth, and even sucked in some of the strange fire that wrapped around the Sky Demon Phoenix's core.

Xiao Ling also immediately noticed this intention. The phantom of the Heavenly Phoenix seemed to want to swallow the magic core that was being refined directly into its stomach and refine it directly.

His heart moved slightly, and then he controlled the strange fire and lifted the suppression on the magic core.

Allowing the suction to pull it, the ninth-order Sky Demon Phoenix Demon Core containing terrifying energy flew straight towards the ancient Sky Phoenix shadow like a meteor grasped by an invisible giant hand.

The phantom of the Heavenly Phoenix suddenly opened its mouth and swallowed, and the magic core disappeared in its mouth, as if it was completely integrated into its phantom.

When the phantom of the ancient sky phoenix swallowed the ninth-order sky demon phoenix magic core into its stomach, an even more majestic and vast aura instantly erupted from its body. Compared with the previous one, the increase was almost leapfrog!

Xiao Ling's keen perception immediately caught this change.

He clearly felt that the aura of the ancient sky phoenix at this moment was not only far greater than when it was just condensed, but also reached a delicate and almost perfect balance with the shadow of the Taixu ancient dragon on the other side.

As the two faced each other from a distance, there was no longer the tense and oppressive feeling as before, but instead there was a sense of mutual complementation.

And at the moment when the two forces were balanced, the tension in the air seemed to be quietly dissolved by some invisible force.

Zi Yan, who was originally sitting quietly in the center of the altar, did not move immediately. However, the next moment, her sleeping body suddenly trembled slightly, and then, without any warning, it slowly floated up!

This sudden change was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, immediately attracting Xiao Ling's attention, who was concentrating on the energy changes.

Zi Yan's figure paused slightly, as if she was adapting to the sudden buoyancy, and then she began to float lightly into the air as if lifted by a gentle yet tenacious invisible force.

Her long hair, illuminated by the surrounding energy halo, fluttered away like flowing purple-gold silk, her posture tranquil yet carrying a hint of indescribable holiness.

At the same time, the two shadows surrounding her seemed to be triggered by some kind of resonance.

The phantoms of the ancient sky phoenix and the Taixu ancient dragon raised their heads at the same time and each let out a loud and long roar.

The whistling this time was completely different from the previous confrontation. It was no longer full of provocation and conflict. Instead, it carried a sense of relief and resonance after completing a certain key step. The sound was melodious and echoed above the altar.

Then, two shadows turned into streams of light. They stopped for a moment, as if confirming something, and then began to circle around the slowly rising Zi Yan in a strange rhythm, like loyal guardians.

And the more remarkable changes occurred within the bodies of the two phantoms.

Two extremely pure energies, one purple as deep as the night, containing the ancient vicissitudes of life, and the other golden as hot as the sun, shining with the brilliance of life, surged out from the bodies of the two phantoms like a long-accumulated volcano suddenly erupting.

They did not vent their energy wantonly, but were as if pulled by invisible threads, converging precisely and mightily towards Zi Yan's suspended figure. Each energy flow was clearly visible, like hundreds of rivers returning to the sea, converging at one point.

These energies containing the original power of dragon and phoenix intertwined and collided around Zi Yan, making a subtle and pleasant buzzing sound, and finally sank into her body as if they had found a home.

Xiao Ling held his breath and concentrated, and was pleasantly surprised to find that Zi Yan's body was like a perfect container that had been prepared long ago, or a precisely operated furnace, which was absorbing all of this violent but extremely pure energy in an extremely smooth and even mysterious rhythmic manner.

After the energy entered her body, it did not cause any disorder or rejection. Instead, it flowed and merged in her meridians, gradually sublimating, reaching a perfect fusion that far surpassed its previous state and was almost natural.

As the two completely different yet wonderfully complementary energies finally converged like rushing rivers, they poured into Zi Yan's body.

The deep purple and the blazing gold intersected and merged within Zi Yan's body, as if they had found their final destination.

Xiao Ling held his breath and concentrated his mind, immersing himself in it. He could clearly sense that the aura in Zi Yan's body was rising at an astonishing speed.

The speed of the increase was astonishingly fast, but it was precisely stuck at a critical point, as if Zi Yan's body could just withstand the limit of this energy. Any more would overflow, and any less would be insufficient. She absorbed this gift just right without suffering any harm.

Not only that, Xiao Ling was even more pleasantly surprised to find that with the injection of these two pure energies, Zi Yan's physique was also undergoing visible changes.

The skin that was originally as clear as glass now seemed to have been tempered, emitting a faint purple-gold luster, and seemed to become tighter and more elastic to the touch.

Her bones, meridians, and even her core blood vessels, all became tougher and stronger under the nourishment of this energy.

It seemed as if a powerful force was quietly accumulating within her, enticing her bloodline to transform towards a higher, more mysterious level. This wasn't just an increase in strength, but a leap in the level of life itself.

At the same time, the most obvious change occurred in Zi Yan's appearance.

The originally petite figure began to undergo subtle but noticeable changes as if cast by some magical spell.
