Soul Land 5: The Rebirth of Tang San-Chapter 794: Sky Sovereign, Transcendent Bloodline?

"Phoenix Lord, this—this..." The Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor spread his arms, blocking the Undying Demon Emperor, his face twisted with distress. "Please don't be angry. How about I extract some of my blood essence to replenish yours? I'm still young, it's no big deal."

"Nonsense! Extract your blood essence? Are you out of your mind? Not only would it waste a huge amount of it, but you'd also immediately lose your Emperor cultivation. Do you think you're some amazing shit? You think you can replenish my power?!" roared the Undying Demon Emperor.

The Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor said with a pained expression, "Then... then what should we do?"

The Undying Demon Emperor almost spat out blood; he felt utterly helpless and infuriated, unable to express his misery. Indeed, there was nothing he could do.

The White Tiger Demon Emperor didn't know what to say either. As an Emperor himself, he fully understood the severity of having thirty percent of one's blood essence severed. Moreover, the Undying Demon Emperor was not young. Although he wasn't in the dire situation that the Crystal Demon Emperor had been in, he was well past a thousand years of age, a time when one's vitality was most cherished.

The Undying Demon Emperor's face was dark with regret. He had never imagined that Mei Gongzi's life-bound artifact would be so domineering, capable of breaking free from his divine consciousness suppression and severing his essence with a sword.

Kill her and take it back? With these two standing in his way, how could he do that? And even if he could, would he actually do that? But in truth, this loss was simply too great. Even though Immortal Flame Phoenixes were the absolute best at recovery, what would it take to restore such a large amount of blood essence? Could it even be restored? He didn't know; after all, to the best of his knowledge, no Immortal Flame Phoenix had ever done this before.

At that moment, the harmonious phoenix cries grew even louder and brighter. Countless light-and-shadow phoenixes began to gather behind Mei Gongzi, forming a pair of massive phoenix wings that spread out behind her, making her stunning figure appear even more regal.

Mei Gongzi's aura had completely stabilized at the middle stage of the Great Demon King level, and her overall strength was bound to soar in no time. A faint phoenix feather shimmered on her forehead, identical to the one that had appeared on the Undying Demon Emperor's forehead earlier.

At that moment, a strange halo radiated from beneath her, displaying seven colors—not the usual rainbow colors, but gold, silver, red, white, blue, black, and pink. They were radiant, dazzling, and altogether extraordinary.

The White Tiger Demon Emperor's pupils constricted. "A new domain? No... This is..."

Meanwhile, the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor and the Undying Demon Emperor both widened their eyes. Their divine consciousness was telling them something completely unbelievable.

"It's not a domain, her bloodline is evolving!" the Undying Demon Emperor exclaimed. He had completely forgotten his earlier rage, a testament to the sheer level of shock he was experiencing.

Bloodline evolution was certainly a good thing, but it depended on which bloodline evolved and to what extent. Sometimes, too much of a good thing can become a curse instead. For lower-tier bloodlines, any evolution was a great blessing, but that was not the case for first-tier bloodlines. If a first-tier bloodline evolved to a sufficient degree, it would become a transcendent bloodline. But transcendent bloodlines were not tolerated by heaven and earth; they immediately attracted backlash from the plane, exactly what Tang San had encountered when he had produced his two transcendent bloodlines.

So at this moment, when the Emperors suddenly realized that Mei Gongzi's bloodline was about to evolve, how could they not be shocked?

The only one relatively calm was the White Tiger Demon Emperor, as he had already seen a perfected transcendent bloodline in Tang San and personally experienced the terrifying nature of such a bloodline. But it was clear to him that this could not be allowed to happen now, especially within the Ancestral Court. Once this evolution occurred, it would trigger extraordinary phenomena that even Emperors could not fully stop; after all, they were not capable of fighting against the plane itself.

Without a moment's hesitation, the Undying Demon Emperor disregarded his weakened blood essence, releasing the blazing aura of the Immortal Flame Phoenix and his powerful divine consciousness to suppress Mei Gongzi. The only solution was to seal her bloodline power to prevent its evolution. Otherwise, if nothing else, Mei Gongzi's possession of the Immortal Flame Phoenix bloodline would be exposed. Would the Ancestral Court allow her to go through with this evolution? And in the unlikely case that they did, could she even withstand the tribulation? These were all serious concerns.

The intense bloodline power of the Undying Demon Emperor blocked the seven-colored radiance, isolating everything from the outside world while also suppressing the bloodline fluctuations within Mei Gongzi. Having just helped her complete her awakening, the Undying Demon Emperor was perfectly familiar with Mei Gongzi's physical condition. He used his divine consciousness to forcibly sever the interaction between her Peacock Demon and Immortal Flame Phoenix bloodlines, keeping them separate. Indeed, he could tell that they'd been about to fuse—and it was their fusion that triggered the evolution!

The Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor watched anxiously from the side. His cultivation was not as profound as the Undying Demon Emperor's, and he wasn't familiar enough with Mei Gongzi's condition. He could only stand guard with the White Tiger Demon Emperor, releasing their auras to isolate the area from the outside world completely.

It took a full quarter of an hour for the seven-colored glow around Mei Gongzi to fade, along with the newly-awakened aura of her phoenix bloodline.

The Undying Demon Emperor finally allowed a trace of exhaustion to show on his face as he retracted his divine consciousness and bloodline power. At this moment, his eyes no longer held anger but were filled with complex and peculiar emotions.

Sky Sovereign! She... She can become the true Sky Sovereign!

What was the Sky Sovereign?

The Peacock Demon clan and the phoenix race had always fought for the title of King of All Birds, but they were both aware that there was a way to decide the absolute winner: having their bloodline evolve into a theoretical transcendent bloodline. They had named this bloodline Sky Sovereign—the ruler of the skies. If one truly came to possess such a bloodline, the entire sky would be their domain. All flying races, whether they were demons or nymphs, would only be able to bow before them and become their vassals.

Naturally, nobody had ever managed that. Even if they knew it was possible, they were also well aware that the plane did not abide an existence beyond an Emperor. Thus, the Undying Demon Emperor could never have expected that something he had pursued his entire life would manifest so naturally and effortlessly in Mei Gongzi, much less that it would be triggered by his own bloodline fusing with the Peacock Demon bloodline.

This realization showed him that the phoenix and peacock should not be in conflict but rather complement each other. All this time, the phoenix race and the Peacock Demon clan had been on the wrong path.

This discovery profoundly impacted the Undying Demon Emperor. The emotions in his eyes grew increasingly complex.

The millennia of fighting for power turned out to be a joke. The Peacock Demon clan, which they'd struggled to suppress all this time, should have been not an enemy but an ally!

From the seamless fusion of Mei Gongzi's two bloodlines, it was clear that if the phoenix race and the Peacock clan worked together, their combat power would increase exponentially.

When the Peacock Demon Emperor appeared a long time ago, she and the Undying Demon Emperor were instantly at each other's throats. To his dismay, he was unable to do anything against that being who could peer into the future. But looking back now... What would have happened if they had joined forces instead? Maybe they could have even... won against the Crystal Demon Emperor!

For a moment, countless chaotic thoughts flooded the Undying Demon Emperor's mind, leaving his emotions a complicated mess.

With her bloodline evolution suppressed, Mei Gongzi's aura gradually stabilized. The Immortal Flame Phoenix bloodline was locked by the Undying Demon Emperor's power, and the White Tiger Demon Emperor also used his own power to make sure the White Tiger bloodline would not accidentally influence the other two and cause them to merge.

When Mei Gongzi slowly opened her eyes, the gazes of the three Emperors simultaneously fell upon her.

She was not even twenty yet, and she was a mid-stage Great Demon King with three first-tier bloodlines, a clan leader, and a city lord. Truly a favored child of the heavens and a future Emperor!

A rare satisfied smile bloomed on the White Tiger Demon Emperor's face. While not as knowledgeable in terms of avian demon bloodlines, he had sensed the bloodline evolution just as clearly as the Undying Demon Emperor. His granddaughter was truly blessed.

The Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor also heaved a deep, relieved sigh. From now on, the conflict between the phoenix race and the Peacock Demon clan was bound to disappear. The animosity would finally be resolved.
