Chapter 566: Holy Spirit Peak, Inferno Phoenix!
Chapter 566: Holy Spirit Peak, Inferno Phoenix!
The skill enhancement was straightforward, without any unnecessary flourishes.
As a special skill recognized and acknowledged by the All Spirit Compilation, the second cultivation method of the Southern Brightening Fire was naturally flawless.
So, after this ray of light appeared, Su Ping felt the change.
As they were close, a similar fleeting ray of light appeared once again on the little flame's body.
Undoubtedly, with the improvement of this Flame Seed skill, the little flame's cultivation level also increased, even if it was just by one level.
However, it was still a significant leap, crossing the threshold of the middle Monarch Rank and reaching the advanced Monarch Rank, equivalent to the strength of the seventh Overlord Rank.
This increase in strength, while not exceptionally rapid among Su Ping's companion beasts, was still a pleasant surprise, far better than having none at all.
With this thought, Su Ping looked at the little flame burning wildly in the fire, and his Spirit Eye quickly locked onto the most significant change:
[Super Phoenix Seed (Special) (Proficient): The flame transcends elemental energy, forming a unique Flame Seed within fire-type companion beasts, indicating unparalleled potential! It is also an essential prerequisite for the Fire Sovereign, and there is no other way.
Ignition: Each companion beast, based on its future growth potential, resource utilization, and combat style, will determine the way its Flame Seed is ignited, its flame attribute, and its flame abilities. Moreover, with each improvement of the Flame Seed, the skill level will increase, and upon reaching perfection, it will advance to the next stage.
(Current Flame: Extreme High Temperature)]
Flame Seed: In its current basic form, the flame maintains a constant state. Attack skills will not consume its energy, and the flame energy can be recycled and reabsorbed by the companion beast, but it requires a certain 'cool-down' and 'reloading' time.
It seemed like there was no change at all, except for the temperature shifting from high to extreme.
However, in a way, this was not necessarily a bad thing.
With Su Ping's numerous cultivations and the All Spirit Compilation's supplementation, the Southern Brightening Fire should be pure flame, and its extreme temperature was entirely different from the Day and Night Fire of Little Crow Ya Ya.
The extreme temperature of the flame alone was sufficient to incinerate everything in the world, without the need for other elements to fill the void.
Vermilion Bird, as the Fire Sovereign, was undoubtedly powerful, and the Southern Brightening Fire's strength needed no further explanation.
However, from the observation of the True Eye, it seemed that no specific changes could be discerned.
But.
The little flame seemed to understand Su Ping's thoughts, and its fiery red flames slowly rose, spreading for dozens of meters and even flowing into the depths of the sea, causing an instant combustion.
Sizzle!
The endless white smoke seemed to be evaporated and burned away in an instant by the intense heat.
Even the entire sea above seemed to dissipate because of this.
What terrifying temperature was this?
Just a single skill level increase had such power?
At this moment, not only Su Ping but even the nearby Jia Ji narrowed her eyes slightly, a hint of disgust flashing in her aquamarine eyes.
Fire and water are incompatible!
This is an ancient truth!
Even though Jia Ji had to cooperate with Su Ping and the Dragon Nation due to their positions and interests.
But the aversion to fire was innate and couldn't be erased.
However, as intelligent beings, they couldn't be controlled by instincts, and soon, Jia Ji revealed a smile, saying,
"Indeed worthy of being the Flame Sovereign's avatar, such a powerful flame is unheard of at the Monarch Rank!
Could this Flame Sovereign's avatar, in your hands, surpass the Flame Sovereign's peak in the future?"
Obviously, her words were a bit mocking.
What cultivation level is the Flame Sovereign?
Legendary Peak!
If it takes another step forward, what cultivation level will it be?
Mythic!
In this era, even the Water Venerable, its original body, clearly lacks the confidence to advance to the Mythic realm.
This is the Mythic realm!
In the Dragon Nation's history, it's a realm that has been nearly forgotten!
How could it be so easy to achieve?
Not to mention, the original body of the little flame, the Flame Sovereign, judging by its appearance, had suffered more severe injuries than the Water Venerable.
Even its self-awareness was unable to form, and its consciousness was scattered.
In this state, not only is it difficult to reach the Mythic realm, but even regaining the strength of the Legendary Peak would be extremely challenging.
However, even with these joking words, Su Ping thought for a moment and then nodded, saying,
"It shouldn't be a problem. I'll do my best!"
Obviously, seeing Su Ping's serious expression, Jia Ji was slightly taken aback.
She couldn't quite understand where Su Ping's confidence came from.
Despite the numerous miracles created by this young man from the Dragon Nation, there was no need for outsiders to elaborate further.
However, the Mythic rank was still a distant dream.
Jia Ji blinked, suddenly feeling that this young man before her might truly become an extraordinary being.
If she could, even with her Legendary power, Jia Ji couldn't help but want to get closer to him.
There was indeed an indescribable affability about him.
Jia Ji was startled, wondering how a being of her caliber could possibly become a mere human's companion beast.
It was clearly impossible.
Her pride wouldn't allow such emotional fluctuations.
Fortunately, before he could think further, a voice suddenly emerged.
It didn't come from the volcanic island above the volcano.
Nor did it come from the endless ocean above.
Instead, it came from within the volcanic magma below.
The gurgling sound of bubbles was painfully loud.
The bubbles were simply too large.
The rolling, boiling sound gurgled incessantly.
Most importantly, within the already crimson magma, a deeper crimson shadow began to gradually emerge.
More importantly, a terrifying flame element energy began to brew within.
It was as if a volcano, ready to erupt, was about to unleash its power.
Neither Su Ping nor Jia Ji spoke again; instead, they stared at the magma beneath their feet.
They knew that the owner of this volcano and unique terrain was about to appear.
At this moment, neither of them paid any attention to a Holy Spirit rank being, which still posed a slight threat to Su Ping.
Their top fighter was the origami figure, Qian Yi.
However, it was uncertain if Qian Yi could match this opponent.
After all, defeating a Holy Spirit rank being with the advantage of fire and terrain wasn't easy, even with Su Ping's confidence in his companion beast.
But Su Ping had Jia Ji by his side.
Fire and water were incompatible, and Jia Ji, a water-type, was a Legendary rank. If she wanted to defeat the Holy Spirit rank being, it would be a simple task.
The gap between Legendary and Holy Spirit ranks was astounding.
However, Su Ping was genuinely curious about the Holy Spirit rank being within the magma. What was it?
Soon, the mystery was revealed.
It was a fiery red figure.
Magma flowed over its feathers.
The flames' extreme heat burned in the area, raising the temperature even higher.
The fiery red feathers seemed to merge with the flames.
First, a magma-covered back appeared.
Not particularly broad, it had an indescribable slender, pure crimson plumage.
It stood out vividly.
As expected, a massive bird's head emerged.
Its neck was slender and incredibly long, fiery red with a golden aura, adding a touch of divinity.
The fiery red feathers on its head gave this being an indescribable elegance.
A phoenix?! Su Ping's eyebrows rose.
In his life, he had only seen one phoenix.
It was Yun Sheng's Inferno Phoenix.
Among the Holy Spirit rank beings he had encountered, its strength was undoubtedly top-tier.
However, Yun Sheng had been searching for a way to cultivate a Flame Seed in the Inferno Phoenix for some time, so he hadn't seen it in a while.
Su Ping recalled that when he first saw the Flame Sovereign, he didn't know what it was.
He specifically returned home to research information on phoenix companion beasts.
Among them, Yun Sheng's was the Inferno Phoenix.
And at this moment, the terrifying companion beast that appeared before him was the one he remembered most vividly, the one he believed to be the Flame Sovereign's transformation:
The Inferno Blaze Phoenix!
As this figure appeared, its aura was also released without concealment, allowing Su Ping to clearly sense its power level.
It wasn't just a high-rank Holy Spirit!
If it were a peak Holy Spirit!
A tenth-rank Holy Spirit!
Su Ping sucked in a breath of cold air.
At the Holy Spirit Rank, the difference in power between each level was significant. Compared to the minor differences in the lower ranks, this was an entirely different story.
Reaching the peak of the Holy Spirit Rank, one was just a step away from the Legendary Rank.
Of course, for many peak Holy Spirit Rank companion beasts, this one step was an insurmountable gap in their entire lives.
"Human!?"
What surprised Su Ping was that the Inferno Blaze Phoenix before him actually spoke!
Although it wasn't the language of Dragon Nation, Su Ping, being proficient in spiritual communication, understood its meaning.
But this wasn't the surprising part; what came next caught him off guard.
A terrifying blaze instantly engulfed him, Little Flame, and Jia Ji.
The scorching temperature was countless times more intense than the flames Little Flame had just spewed.
For the first time, Su Ping truly felt the taste of death.
However, he didn't pay much attention to this. He knew the people around him wouldn't let him die.
So, his gaze remained firmly fixed on the Inferno Blaze Phoenix.
A massive fiery phoenix had magma flowing on its body.
But apart from the magma, on its head and body, Su Ping noticed something else!
Flame Sovereign Avatars!
And they were incredibly huge.
There were over a dozen of them, each at the peak of the Monarch Rank, and two had even reached the Imperial Rank.
The Flame Sovereign Avatars were far from the pathetic state Su Ping and Jia Ji had imagined.
In just one year since their revival, they had already grown to the Imperial Rank.
At this rate, it wouldn't be particularly difficult for the Flame Sovereign to return to the Legendary Rank.
If Little Flame were to devour them, the Imperial Rank would surely be within reach! And it was certain that they wouldn't just be at the first or second stage of the Imperial Rank.
However, at this moment, Su Ping's interest in this Inferno Blaze Phoenix was also undeniable.
As expected, a water shield instantly enveloped Su Ping, repelling the endless flames.
This surprised the Inferno Blaze Phoenix as well, and its sharp cry was filled with astonishment.
"What is that?"
Jia Ji, at this moment, didn't feel as relaxed as Su Ping had imagined. On her face, Su Ping saw a seriousness he had never witnessed before.
"Senior, what's wrong?"
Did this Inferno Blaze Phoenix have a problem? Su Ping's heart tightened.
Regardless, those Flame Sovereign Avatars were something he had to obtain.
If there were any issues, Little Flame's advancement was one concern, and the Flame Sovereign's memories were also invaluable treasures.
He couldn't afford any mishaps!
With this in mind, Su Ping quickly asked, "Senior, what's wrong?"
"The situation with this Inferno Blaze Phoenix is a bit unusual. Although it's still at the Holy Spirit Peak, it seems to have mastered a very special skill, allowing it to utilize some unique power in this environment.
Moreover, it definitely has a skill mastery level at the Supreme Mastery, having achieved rule mastery for a corresponding skill! This Inferno Blaze Phoenix truly has the potential to advance to the Legendary Rank!"
Su Ping's eyebrows furrowed.
Damn, was his luck this good? A wild beast in the Holy Spirit Peak had mastered the Legendary Rule? If he had come here, even with Meng Yao, they might both have perished here!
With this thought, Su Ping turned his gaze back to the Flame Sovereign Avatars on the Inferno Blaze Phoenix.
At this moment, Su Ping finally noticed something amiss! Previously, he hadn't seen these Flame Sovereign Avatars riding other 'mounts.'
Whether it was the Blue-Feathered Flame Sparrow or the Divine Gale Pheasant, the Flame Sovereign Avatars were always in the dominant position.
Even with a difference in ranks, this was the case.
But now, from Su Ping's perspective, something seemed off.
As expected, Little Flame, who was also protected and a Flame Sovereign Avatar herself, quickly noticed the difference!
At the same time, the feedback from the Soul Contract arrived.
"Hiss!"
Sensing Little Flame's feedback, Su Ping narrowed his eyes, and as expected! Compared to the relationship between the other Flame Sovereign Avatars and bird-type companion beasts, this Inferno Blaze Phoenix was turning the tables, dominating and controlling those Flame Sovereign Avatars.
