After absorbing the Primordial Phoenix’s Blood Essence, ti seed to slow to a standstill for Yuan as he was consud by endless, indescribable pain.
Minutes turned into hours, and hours into days, yet the invisible flas continued to burn Yuan relentlessly, showing no sign of fading anyti soon.
Even worse, the pain from the invisible flas only grew more intense with each passing mont.
Two weeks later, the invisible flas had spread across the entire world, engulfing it completely and causing the very fabric of space to warp and ripple without end. Yet, the trees appeared completely fine, as if the flas didn’t even exist.
As for Yuan, he had stopped screaming, but that didn’t an the pain had vanished. Even as his tolerance grew, the strength of the invisible flas always outpaced it by just enough to keep him in constant, unrelenting agony.
Suddenly—
Ding!
Though it may seem like Yuan had achieved Fire Harmony, that was not the case, and he was only able to absorb flas and turn them into his power because of his physique. This ant that his fire resistance still had considerable room to grow.
After attaining True Fire Immunity, Yuan managed to endure the invisible flas with slightly more ease, though only for a mont. Almost as if it were sentient and realized it was no longer as effective as before, the flas suddenly surged in power.
Though it was painful, Yuan actually preferred it this way since it ant his fire immunity wouldn’t slow down its progress.
Then, after another month, Yuan achieved Fire Harmony.
Then, after another three months, his fire immunity improved again.
Upon attaining Perfect Fire Harmony, the invisible flas lost their power over Yuan. They could no longer inflict pain on him, finally bringing an end to his relentless tornt.
However, this didn’t an he was finished absorbing the Primordial Phoenix’s Blood Essence. In truth, he was only just beginning—the ordeal so far had rely been a test to determine if he was worthy.
Unlike when he consud the Dragon God’s Blood Essence, Yuan was strong enough to refine the Primordial Phoenix’s Blood Essence without any assistance. However, it would take so ti.
After an entire year of relentless refinent, Yuan finally succeeded in fully absorbing the Primordial Phoenix’s Blood Essence.
[True Primordial Fire]
[Rank: ???]
[Mastery Level: 1]
[A unique fla possessed only by the Primordial Phoenix—completely invisible to the eye, yet so destructive it can burn through reality itself.]
The instant his physique evolved, Yuan’s cultivation—which had been bottlenecked at the peak of Bronze Immortal—imdiately surged to the next level, elevating him to Silver Immortal. But it didn’t stop there, and his cultivation continued to soar until it reached the peak of Silver Immortal in one go.
Shortly after finishing the refinent of the blood essence, Yuan activated True Phoenix Awakening to test its power.
Instantly, his long black hair turned a brilliant crimson and ignited with flickering flas, while his eyes glead a radiant gold. His appearance now bore an uncanny resemblance to Feng Yuxiang’s when she uses her phoenix powers.
It wasn’t just his appearance—his aura, and even his scent, beca indistinguishable from that of a true phoenix, as if he had truly transford into one.
Yuan raised his arm and activated the True Primordial Fire. Instantly, invisible flas surged forth like a tidal wave, engulfing everything in front of him.
"Not bad," he murmured, clearly satisfied with the results. Now, he could easily pass himself off as a true phoenix.
He retrieved the Ancient Phoenix Robe a mont later and wore it without any issues. Even if it didn’t recognize him as a phoenix, its curse wouldn’t have any effect on his Perfect Fire Harmony.
Soti later, Yuan erged from the Immortal Cave to reunite with Feng Yuxiang, who had been standing watch outside the entire ti.
"Y-Young Master...?" Feng Yuxiang’s eyes widened, her mouth slightly agape as she stared at Yuan, still clad in his phoenix form.
Unbeknownst to her, a soft flush of red had already spread across her cheeks.
"What do you think?" Yuan asked, a calm smile on his face.
"..."
But Feng Yuxiang couldn’t respond, as she was utterly speechless. She had always believed Yuan was perfect, yet seeing him in his phoenix form and wearing the Ancient Phoenix Robe felt like witnessing an entirely new, breathtaking side of him.
A sudden tingling sensation ran through her body, sending an involuntary shiver down her spine. The last ti she had felt sothing like this was when she had used her hands to assist Yuan, but now, just his scent alone was enough to arouse her.
However, Feng Yuxiang quickly snapped herself out of her daze by forcefully slapping her own cheeks, just as one might do to jolt oneself awake.
"C-Congratulations, Young Master. If I were seeing you for the first ti, I wouldn’t have been able to tell you’re actually human and not a true phoenix," she said.
"If even you can’t tell the difference, then fooling everyone else should be easy," Yuan said with a faint smile. "Anyway, thank you for the blood essence, Feng Feng. If there’s anything you need, I’ll do my best to make it happen."
Still feeling a bit dazed, Feng Yuxiang silently nodded.
Soti later, Feng Yuxiang and Yuan departed from the volcano and set out on their journey toward the Rising Phoenix Clan.
