Light Spring Murmur

Chapter 503: The Truth of the Empress Dynasty

Undead Battlefield.

The Undead Nether Phoenix was extremely frightened, not understanding why such a plot was unfolding.

"Wait!!"

Seeing that Shi Yu and the others were about to make a move, the Undead Nether Phoenix repeatedly stopped them.

"You're just... just now, you were just having some hallucinations because you were sealed for too long and were too hungry."

As it spoke… it suddenly let out a sharp phoenix cry, and immediately its Nether Flame surged, wanting to fly away from this place.

Under Shi Yu's gaze, its energy value instantly increased from one billion to over ten billion, and was rapidly approaching twenty billion.

This was because the undead spirits from all over the Undead Battlefield, due to the Undead Nether Phoenix's breaking of the seal, began to dissipate into spiritual energy, turning into its nourishment.

This scene, when Shi Yu saw it, couldn't help but make his gaze sharpen. It was a good thing he hadn't tried to rescue the Undead Nether Phoenix too early.

This guy not only had a connection with all the undead spirits born from plagues and curses in the Undead Battlefield, and could decide their life and death in an instant, but also maintained a very special connection with Chi Tong. If it were the pre-evolution Chi Tong, it would probably become its bloodline nourishment in an instant.

However, even though the Undead Nether Phoenix had many trump cards, its first thought when it saw Shi Yu and the others was to escape!

The Undead Nether Phoenix suspected that it was still dreaming, only feeling that it was too bizarre. It just took a nap, and demigod-level and quasi-god-level skills were so common.

In its current state, it absolutely didn't want to clash head-on with a demigod.

However, the Undead Nether Phoenix wanted to leave, wanting to continue absorbing the undead spirits of the Undead Battlefield, but it also had to ask if Shi Yu and the others would agree.

Before it had gone far, the Undead Nether Phoenix's expression changed, and it discovered that the space here was completely sealed.

Immediately, the youth opposite transformed into red-haired and crimson-eyed, and an astonishing Yang Flame Sword Formation locked it in on all sides.

"Awoo!!!" Even more, a black and white yin-yang millstone crossed space and descended, appearing above its head.

In addition to that, another sound of the rules resonated, and the Undead Nether Phoenix looked in shock at the illusion of the Azure Sea Saintess behind Shi Yu.

"A third demigod, aren't you the Azure Sea Sprite!!!"

"Why are you here too!"

It had seen the Azure Sea Sprite in its peak period 3000 years ago, but it was precisely because of this that it couldn't understand even more why the figure of the Azure Sea Sprite would appear here.

"Yang Flame, Yin-Yang Millstone, Pure Sea Spirit, three purification skills, do you like them?" Shi Yu said.

The Undead Nether Phoenix's pupils shrank.

Under the sympathetic expressions of Chong Chong, Gem Cat, and Ling, who were sealing the space, a shrill scream was emitted from within the space barrier.

Can Shen Di covered his ears and sighed, pitiful, pitiful, pitiful. Even Yuan wasn't as miserable as this.

However, what depressed the ginseng baby was that, in this mission, it was once again serving as the support nanny and team doctor.

"Ah!!!!!"

The Undead Nether Phoenix's scream was extremely piercing, just like a woman giving birth, making Shi Yu's expression tense.

"Su Su, devour and seal it, and perform a second purification."

Within the Infinite Devouring Space, it was already receiving a guest for the third time in this period. Previously, it was the Abyss Demigod and the Meteor Clan Demigod, and this time's Undead Nether Phoenix was considered the weakest.

Currently, Yuan An was still holding on, accepting the purification.

Its mental will had not been completely purified.

Su Su's Pure Sea Spirit's purification to the greatest effect was very powerful, and could really make a bad person turn over a new leaf.

In history, many of those Abyss Demigods who were lucky enough not to be killed by Su Su were completely purified of their abyss power by Su Su, becoming guardians of the sea.

If Yuan An was purified to this extent, even if it was released, it wouldn't pose a threat to Dong Huang, and might even become Dong Huang's environmental ambassador.

However, the reality was that it definitely couldn't be purified to this extent. After all, if it was completely purified, what would happen to its Yuan An fragments not having an evolution effect?

So currently, it was just a targeted local purification, at least to prevent its rebellious emotions from being too strong when it was atoning for its sins.

The Undead Nether Phoenix, on the other hand, after being imprisoned, also continuously received the baptism of the Pure Sea Spirit.

For this guy, Su Su didn't hold back, directly carrying out the maximum power purification, not only washing its mental will, but also purifying the power on its body. After all, this guy was full of plagues and curses. Keeping it would only create uncontrollable ferocious spirits, and wouldn't have any other use.

Since this guy's power was less than a demigod's, at most like a Tyrant Dragon King's quasi-demigod, it wasn't difficult to purify it.

"Ah!!!!!"

After a long time, the Undead Nether Phoenix woke up from its coma, its power having been weakened into a non-avian state by various purification methods.

It struggled to open its eyes, and then saw

Shi Yu and his group standing neatly in front of it, their eyes dead silent.

"Just kill me…"

"Congratulations, the plague and curse on your body have now been purified. Theoretically speaking, you should have regained your self-awareness and reason." Shi Yu congratulated.

"Why are you in such a hurry to die?"

"Otherwise, why would we go to so much trouble to find someone to rescue and purify you?"

"Or are you saying that everything you said before was a lie?"

The Undead Nether Phoenix opened its mouth slightly, and finally silently looked at the Sword Maiden Chi Tong standing beside Shi Yu, closing its eyes again, not wanting to explain too much.

"It seems to be a bit more awake, but still not enough." The Gem Cat girl said curiously.

So what exactly was the situation?

"Do you plan to say something? Do you have some unspeakable secrets?" Shi Yu asked, "If you don't want to say it, then we'll extract your memories, which may cause you some damage."

"Of course, even if you say it, we may still do the same thing in the end, but it will be gentler."

Since the Undead Nether Phoenix really had a bloodline connection with Chi Tong, Shi Yu and the others weren't in a hurry to attack. After all, the other party was fundamentally different from Yuan An and the others.

"Ask." Shi Yu's words fell, the Undead Nether Phoenix didn't open its eyes, but spoke weakly.

Without the violence it had when it had just broken the seal, its mind was calmed down by Su Su's purification, and its mental force field had also changed.

"Looking at your current attitude, the two civil wars in the Phoenix Clan that you told us about before, caused by the conflict between mixed-bloods and pure-bloods, were probably made-up stories."

"What exactly is your identity?"

The Undead Nether Phoenix reopened its eyes and looked at Shi Yu, saying, "That story is true. From the Phoenix Clan's perspective, you can indeed be considered Mu Huiyin and the Empress's mother, but from the human's perspective..."

"In this matter, you were wrong. Ending up in this state is also your own fault. If you can understand this, then perhaps your soul dissipating is the best fate for you now."

"You will tell you everything you know, and then please let it end you." The Undead Nether Phoenix looked at Chi Tong and said weakly.

"Speak." Shi Yu felt that the history hidden behind this was probably not simple, and asked.

The Undead Nether Phoenix said, "The origin of everything has to start from the Mythical Era..."

"According to the records within the Phoenix Clan, the Mythical Era

ended due to war, and Blue Star was torn apart. After that, the powerful gods within the Phoenix Clan all left Blue Star."

"Only a small portion of the Phoenix Clan who had not become gods remained, evolving into the Phoenix Clan of later generations."

"After a long period of time, the Phoenix Clan gradually forgot about the events of the Mythical Era, and history was buried in time. However, one day, a Phoenix Clan demigod went to the starry sky in order to break through to the god level."

"However, this journey of his did not allow him to break through to the god level, and he was forced to return because he could not withstand the environment of the starry sky."

"At this time, he was already approaching the end of his lifespan, and only wanted to die in his hometown."

"However, during the return process, he strayed into a Phoenix Clan ruin located in the starry sky."

"That was a secret realm created by a Phoenix Clan god who left Blue Star during the Mythical Era. Inside, there was a secret treasure that he had brought back from the depths of the starry sky."

"That secret treasure, in terms of resource level, was above even the god level. The Phoenix Clan ancestor who brought it back at the time called it a resource that surpassed the god level."

"Obtaining the secret treasure, this Phoenix Clan ancestor was originally very happy, thinking that it was his hope for breaking through to the god level. But very quickly, he regretfully discovered."

"This transcendent-level secret treasure was sealed within the ruin, and he had no ability to take it away at all."

The Undead Nether Phoenix's words fell, and Shi Yu and the others' expressions changed slightly.

"He brought the ruins back to Blue Star, back to the Phoenix Clan, and then died."

"Afterwards, after the Phoenix Clan's research, they discovered that if they wanted to take the resource, they would probably need the power of a god level."

"Relying on the demigod level alone was not enough."

"But in an era of incomplete rules, god-level power was impossible to appear." "At that time, the Phoenix Clan had already consumed a large amount of resources in order to research the ruins, causing the Phoenix Clan to weaken a lot. It was directly surpassed by the Dragon Clan. After discussions within the clan, in order to prevent the Phoenix Clan from continuing to invest endlessly and weakening because of this ruin, they decided to seal the ruins, leaving behind ancestral instructions, waiting for the revival of the myths before opening it."

"From then on, this ruin became the forbidden area of the Phoenix Clan, and also the most important place."

"Until, in your generation, the Phoenix Clan gave birth to two demigods, one was you, and the other was your sister." The Undead Nether Phoenix looked at Shi Yu and the others.

"Your sister's talent was better than yours from a young age, suppressing you in every way. In the end, it was her who became the leader of the Phoenix Clan."

"You were both Solar Divine Phoenix bloodlines, but she was even more outstanding.

She took a further step and mastered the power of the starry sky, successfully evolving towards the Vermillion Bird, one of the Four Symbols of Heaven. At the time, she was hailed as the Phoenix creature closest to the Vermillion Bird."

"She even established a vast kingdom, and was worshiped as a god. Her people spread across various races, with the human race being the most numerous."

"At the time, you were very unwilling. You wanted to surpass her, but there was no way."

"Until, you had a precognitive dream."

"The precognitive dream told you that humans were the key to opening that Starry Sky Phoenix Clan ruin. As long as you could open this ruin, you could become the strongest of the Phoenix Clan, lead the Phoenix Clan to a more prosperous peak, and surpass your sister. You, by some inexplicable reason, believed this precognitive dream."

"No, or rather, this dream only provided you with an excuse. You had already had this idea for a long time."

"In the end, you chose a path that was not allowed."

"The Phoenix Clan pursues bloodline purity, but in order to become stronger, you began to modify your own bloodline, and valued the potential of humans, trying to perform human body modifications on human beast tamers, transforming them into Phoenix Clan mixed-bloods, hoping that mixed-blood humans would serve as nourishment to make you stronger."

"Even if you could use the help of humans to break through to the god level, you could lead the Phoenix Clan to a new chapter."

"During this period, tens of thousands of humans died because of your mixed-blood experiments. Some were captured from outside the Phoenix Kingdom, but their talents were not very good. In the end, you set your sights on those humans within the Phoenix Kingdom who had undergone the baptism of the Phoenix Secret Realm and possessed superior bloodline quality. They were all Vermillion Bird believers with outstanding talents."

"But, paper can't contain fire. You were discovered by your sister, and she was very angry. She immediately forbade you from continuing to modify bloodlines, stopped your reckless actions, and wanted to judge you. According to the clan rules, you would be imprisoned for a thousand years to reflect. Naturally, you were unwilling, so you led the clansmen who followed you and had a great battle with her."

"During this period, you secretly sent one of your most proud daughters, who contained your bloodline, out of the Phoenix Kingdom in advance, worried about her being harmed." The Undead Nether Phoenix looked at Chi Tong.

"The civil war lasted for a long time."

"In this battle, you were defeated miserably, but your sister, out of consideration for old feelings, allowed you to successfully escape. You led a portion of the Phoenix Clan and went to Dong Huang to search for that perfect mixed-blood."

"Unfortunately, she could no longer be found at this time."

"In addition, you were severely weakened. So, you reopened a secret

realm, fell into a deep sleep, and recuperated. This sleep lasted for a thousand years."

"After waking up again, you resumed your plan and continued to create a large number of Phoenix Clan mixed-bloods, establishing a new power in the East, the Phoenix Empire."

"Because there were no totem demigods in the East at the time, you quickly became a leading power."

"A large number of Phoenix Clan mixed-blood beast tamers also became the best batch of human beast tamers in the East at that time. Among them, Huang Xi, who you call the Dong Huang Empress, was one of them."

"In the beginning, her talent and potential were actually not considered good among the many Phoenix Clan mixed-bloods."

"She belonged to the type of person who matured late. No one expected that in the end, she would become a legendary beast tamer who could fight demigods."

"In fact, from the time you woke up and re-established the Phoenix Empire, your sister's side had already noticed you."

"Seeing that you did not repent and continued to challenge the Phoenix Clan's rules, she was completely enraged this time."

"The Phoenix Clan would never allow their bloodline to flow into other races, nor would they allow their own race's bloodline to be defiled."

"So, the Phoenix Kingdom, which was far away on an overseas island at the time, became the biggest enemy of the Phoenix Empire."

"The two sides once again launched a totem war."

"Taking back their own homeland, proving that they were the orthodox, and taking away the transcendent-level resources left by the ancestors in the Phoenix Clan, also became the primary goal of the Phoenix Empire that you led."

"This time, because of the existence of mixed-blood beast tamers, you did not fall into a disadvantage."

"Even, as Huang Xi exceeded everyone's expectations and became a legendary beast tamer, your strength had surpassed the Phoenix Kingdom, forcing your sister and her people to retreat steadily."

"At this moment, you realized that the time was ripe. You had done something to every mixed-blood beast tamer, which could turn them into sacrifices, transforming them into your own growth nourishment."

"You judged that if you absorbed Huang Xi, your strength would definitely become a peak demigod comparable to the Azure Sea Sprite, or even surpass a demigod and become a god level."

"So, you made a move. However, you didn't expect that you had underestimated her. Her strength had long since escaped your control. Although the trump card you left behind had played a role, you were still killed by her."

"However, because you had eaten an Immortal Fruit, you successfully resurrected and became an undead."

"Perhaps it was also out of consideration for family affection. After that, she didn't completely kill you, but only sealed you away."

"This is all the experiences you had being sealed in here…" The Undead Nether Phoenix sighed, "Huang Xi is a good child. You look very similar. You were wrong to her, and you actually wanted to use such a method to become stronger."

The Undead Nether Phoenix looked at Chi Tong and began to repent.

Shi Yu and the others also fell into deep thought.

Chi Tong, on the other hand, breathed a sigh of relief. After completely confirming that she didn't have a deep mother-daughter relationship with the Undead Nether Phoenix, she was relieved. Mu Huiyin didn't recognize her bloodline, and she was the same. She only needed Shi Yu.

This bloodline brought too much suffering to Mu Huiyin, and even led to Mu Huiyin actively剥离ing the bloodline afterwards. Little Chi Tong, after hearing about the origin of the bloodline, if it weren't for the fact that this bloodline could bring her strength and better protect Shi Yu, she would have wanted to abandon it.

Indeed, she felt that she preferred the sword skills left behind by Mu Huiyin rather than the power of the phoenix, and there was a reason for that.

"What about afterwards?" Shi Yu asked.

"How did the Empress Dynasty perish, and how did you become what you are now?"

The Undead Nether Phoenix said, "In the end… After you were sealed, Huang Xi changed the country name of the Phoenix Empire to Dong Huang. Compared to the identity of the Phoenix Clan, she recognized her identity as a human even more."

"The Phoenix Totem Country eventually became a human nation."

"She ended the totem wars in the East in one fell swoop. With the strength of a legendary beast tamer, she allowed the Eastern land to enter an era of peace once again. However, many years later, your sister had a breakthrough and started a war with Dong Huang again."

"Years of war had made the conflicts between the two sides irreconcilable."

"Your sister was much stronger than you, but after Huang Xi grew to her peak, she was even stronger. Not only were you not her opponent, but even after your sister broke through, she was no longer her opponent."

"She single-handedly led the Phoenix Legion and blocked your sister and her people outside the country's borders."

"After gaining an advantage, Huang Xi wanted to go a step further and take away the rumored transcendent-level resources left in the Phoenix Clan."

"She was strong-willed from a young age. Legend was not the end she wanted. This resource might allow her to go a step further."

"However, your sister's side, seeing that Huang Xi had set her sights on the transcendent-level resources, also fought back desperately."

"In the end, as far as you know, your sister and Huang Xi perished together in the final battle for the transcendent-level resources. Huang Xi wanted to take the transcendent-level resources in the Phoenix Clan, but encountered the trap that your sister had set up in advance. The entire ruin collapsed because of this battle, causing them to

fall into the turbulence of time and space together with the entire ruin."

"After learning about their situation in the seal, you began to think about breaking the seal and regaining your new life. You researched the seal, absorbed the death energy pervading this place, and continued to modify your own bloodline. As a result, you transformed yourself into this ghostly appearance. Not only did you fail to break the seal, but you also turned the surrounding area into a dead place. The so-called curses and plagues were also your own consequences."

After the Undead Nether Phoenix finished speaking, it said, "I have told you everything I know. Because of you, the entire Phoenix Clan has almost been wiped out. Your original close daughter has also left you, and your sister has also lost her life because of this. The sins on your body no longer allow you to live in this world."

The Undead Nether Phoenix was indeed very regretful now. If it hadn't betrayed the Phoenix Clan back then, the Phoenix Clan wouldn't have weakened to such an extent. If it had reflected in time and hadn't attacked the Empress, hadn't caused the Empress to become enemies with the Phoenix Clan, perhaps the Empress was the one who had the most hope of leading the Phoenix Clan to its peak.

Unfortunately, the difference of a single thought caused so many bad consequences. Now that it had finally been rescued from the seal by a daughter, it was still making the wrong choices. The Undead Nether Phoenix felt that it had lived a very failed life.

Shi Yu and the others were all silent.

They didn't know if it was because Su Su's Pure Sea Spirit had taken effect, but they could feel that the Undead Nether Phoenix was indeed sincerely repenting.

However, what Shi Yu, Gem Cat, and the others didn't expect even more was that so many twists and turns had occurred during the Empress Dynasty.

"Where is the location of that Starry Sky Ruins?" Shi Yu asked.

The Undead Nether Phoenix looked at Shi Yu and shook its head, saying, "On a huge island, called Phoenix Island, which was the first base camp of the Phoenix Clan."

"However, if you are also thinking about that transcendent-level resource, I advise you to give up. The entire Starry Sky Ruins was involved in the turbulence of time and space due to the battle between Huang Xi and your sister, and Phoenix Island also sank due to the war. It is impossible to find it again."

The Undead Nether Phoenix said, "Can you kill me now?"

Gem Cat said, "What a pity, a transcendent-level resource, isn't it at the same level as the Evil God's Eye!!"

The cat was regretful.

The Phoenix Clan was really rich and generous.

"Chi Tong." Shi Yu looked at Chi Tong in her Sword Maiden form. Chi Tong shook her head, indicating that the Undead Nether Phoenix had nothing to do with her, and Shi Yu could decide what to do.

In the end, Shi Yu fell silent slightly and left the Devouring Space with Gem Cat and the others.

He planned to think about it before deciding how to deal with the Undead Nether Phoenix.

It couldn't die yet. At least, he had to let Chong Chong enter its dream and Su Su use her memory droplets to verify its words and gain more details.

"The Empress actually perished together with the Undead Nether Phoenix's sister, a demigod who evolved towards the Vermillion Bird."

"The Undead Nether Phoenix was really a demigod before its death."

"In the Phoenix Clan, a transcendent-level resource…"

"The predecessor of the Empress Dynasty, the totem country Phoenix Empire…"

Shi Yu and the others, who had received countless pieces of information at once, felt itchy in their hearts. So, the Phoenix Clan was almost wiped out like this.

Among them, Shi Yu was the most unforgettable.

He was thinking of having Qi take them back to the Empress Dynasty to see. Chi Tong's younger sister, the Empress, had died like this. It was a pity. He had seen the Martial Emperor, and now he wanted to see the Empress.

So, what was that transcendent-level resource that the Phoenix Clan's ancestors brought back from the starry sky? Did the gods of Blue Star really make a name for themselves in the starry sky?

He also wanted to ask that genius sister of the Undead Nether Phoenix, who evolved towards the Vermillion Bird, just how strong she was.

"Everyone, I want to go back to the Empress era to take a look. What about you?" Shi Yu asked his contracted pets and immediately received a cheering reply from everyone.

Only Qi, smashing its head, said, "You have all broken through. You, you, you will be exhausted to death, unless, unless Shi Yu helps you add some quasi-god skills to make your time-space traversal proficiency higher. You have broken through, you should be able to add some quasi-god skills, right?"

Shi Yu's face turned pale. You will also die…
