Chapter 154: Source World 6 (part 1 of 2)

The golden silhouette that didn’t enter the Little Phoenix’s body stimulated it’s bloodline, and the awakened Phoenix’s soul irrepressibly and tumultuously rolled back. A majority of those in the Netherworld was able to see that auspicious radiance belonging to that of a Venerable god, which can even make the ghost qi retreat, from the distance

Auspicious colorful clouds, and the 90% Xiao music, is the arrival rites of the Phoenix.

Although the external appearance still remained of that of an immature child as before. But the Phoenix’s soul, magic power, and memories of the Little Phoenix had all been completely restored. Not even a single trace of memory from the past were unremembered. Just like a thousand years ago, he looked at the surrounding area, and instantly caught sight of that gigantic Soaring Serpent with a very strong sense of existence. The other was full of injuries and was cut into a sorry figure because of colliding with the barrier. That pair of vertical dark green pupils looked at him with unblinking eyes, containing shock, deep-seated love, heartache, and other various emotions within, as well as unfathomable complexity.

This had instantly made him feel as if he had unexpectedly returned to that moment a thousand years ago.

When An Ying met with the Little Phoenix for the first time a thousand years ago, he was also full of injuries and was cut into a sorry figure.

At that time, An Ying still wasn’t the Demon Emperor, and wasn’t even as good as an average Venerable Immortal, neither was he near as cool as in the present. However, the Little Phoenix is an ancient god by nature, possessing Immortal roots and Spiritual power that others can only dream of without needing to cultivate nor expand great effort. He is also the righteous son of the Heavenly Emperor, and is viewed as a core figure in the Heavenly Realm. Always living a true aristocratic life of a prince, and has never suffered from the slightest trace grievance.

There was no need for any explanation in this world. The Little Phoenix is blessed by the heavens. But An Ying has never experienced any of this good fortune. The Soaring Serpent is obviously considered as a god beast as well, but An Ying has grown at the lowest rung in the Demon Realm since he was born, and had no one to rely on to except himself. The weak are prey to the strong kind of living environment in the Demon Realm was considerably difficult for the young. He had suffered countless injuries and various hardships since he was a child, and had only taken a slight turn for the better after being found by his adoptive father, who claimed to be an old friend of his biological mother.

However, every single Demon cultivator, will never be able to escape the thunder tribulation. Although there were a lot of Demon cultivators, but only a few Demons with high magic power and good fortune can successfully pass the tribulation. If a Demon with poor magic power and bad luck failed to pass the tribulation, the outcome can either be of heavy injuries or death, or damage in their cultivation, causing them to revert back to their original shape, and even face total annihilation. The Soaring Serpent need to be over a thousand years old to be considered as an adult. The unlucky An Ying encountered a massive thunder tribulation after having just stepped into adulthood not too long ago.

His cultivation is just a step higher than that of any Demon or Immortal, who had just recently reached adulthood. This is also the reason why the thunder tribulation was fiercer. The thick and strong lightning strikes lived up to it’s reputation. In the coldest time of the year in midwinter, it swiftly struck down like sharp swords, rushing straight for An Ying, and jarringly shaking half of the forest.

Fortunately, regardless of the location, the thunder tribulation is a common occurrence. Even if everyone had yet to personally experience it, they would’ve also seen it from afar already. Therefore, no one regarded this as a novelty.

As luck would have it, there was someone who has yet to experience nor see this before. This someone was none other than the young Little Phoenix.

As the Little Phoenix was leisurely soaring in the sky, dressed in dazzling red robes, with hair and sash that were both as lithe as wings and as graceful as flowing water, as the wind blown tassel and jewel on the waist jingled. The individual, in general, was also in an incomparably carefree and relax mood. It’s current age was only equivalent to a normal human around eleven to twelve years old. The close individuals around it, aside from the Heavenly Emperor, Heavenly Empress and the servants in Qi Chen Palace such as Qing Luan and Hong Hu, was only the Netherworld’s crown prince, Kong Ming, whom it met at the hundred flower festival, since childhood. The Heavenly Emperor and Heavenly Empress had already experienced the tribulation a long time ago, while Qing Luan and Hong Hu had yet to experience the tribulation. The Netherworld is the only place in the Five Realms that doesn’t utilize the thunder tribulation as punishment. Thus, it has truly never seen the occurrence of a thunder tribulation.

Having been pampered and spoiled since childhood, in addition to being ignorant to the affairs of the world, the Little Phoenix, who had just learned to use it’s human form to ride a cloud and soar through the skies not too long ago, had also snuck into the Demon Realm for the first time ever. Thus, all the things felt fresh and novel. The loud rumble of thunder naturally attracted it’s attention. So, it subconsciously flew towards the direction of the thunder sounds.

It soon after caught sight of an incredibly gigantic serpent amid the lightning flashes in the distance.

The serpent’s body had practically coiled around half of the hillside’s base. It’s entire body had a color of black jade, suffused with a faint aquamarine hue as well. In addition to two pairs of long and sharp bone wings. The Little Phoenix had never seen such a creature before either, and couldn’t help but make the cloud move down, in order to have an even better view of this gigantic serpent.

Unfortunately, it still wasn’t proficient in cloud riding, causing it to accidentally fall off from atop the cloud in a moment of carelessness.

The rumbles of thunder had already ceased. Even though An Ying had managed to survive, but he had been beaten back to his original form. The very injured Soaring Serpent was motionlessly lying down beside a huge tree in a sorry condition and feeble manner, when he suddenly caught sight of a touch of red out of the corner of his eyes. In the next second, a very small youth fell straight down from above.

The Little Phoenix fell down from the sky in this manner. The Little Phoenix hurriedly mobilized it’s Immortal power, in order to stabilize it’s body, the moment before reaching the ground. The momentary flash of Immortal light, subconsciously made the Soaring Serpent squint his vertical pupils. By the time he opened his eyes again, he saw a delicate little face lean close right before his eyes.

That was a very good-looking and incredibly exquisite face.

The Demon Realm is originally a place teeming with beauties. An Ying had seen a lot of beauties in the Demon Realm. But when set side by side to this appearance in front, that’s actually neither too lush nor amorous. All of them together weren’t even the least striking and elegant as the youth either. From An Ying’s perspective, he could also see that on the jade crown hairpin on the youth’s head, a rising Phoenix feather was carved at the tip of the crown, with lingering warm sun-like rays
