Background / History

The Phoenix God was slain by the Dragon God after repeated rebirths depleted her divine power. Her body was dismembered, her Divine Spark shattered, and the Dragon God and his followers exterminated Phoenix-blooded gods and Soul Beasts across the God Realm and lower realms. The Phoenix Clan was wiped out. 209

Feng Yu later remained in a weakened Little Red Bird form beside Lin Xiao. She initially concealed much of her origin and strength, but exposed herself when she used her blood essence to transform Ah Yin's Blue Silver Emperor. 149 150

After Feng Yu assisted in purifying Lin Xiao's Phoenix bloodline, her condition deteriorated. She explained that her Nirvana required a living volcano and a Phoenix Feather; Lin Xiao agreed to help her and formed the Phoenix Blood Contract with her. 196 197

At the Strength Clan, Feng Yu identified the clan's supposed Undying Fire as her Phoenix Bone Remains and recognized the surrounding fragment of the Crimson Feather Sky Burning Beak as part of her former weapon. 207

Her first completed Nirvana took place within a living volcano connected to the Earth Veins. The process lasted six months and seventeen days, restored part of her strength, and caused a volcanic eruption upon completion. 229 230 Feng Yu publicly manifested as the Phoenix God to halt the eruption and gather Faith Power from the villagers who witnessed her. 231

Appearance

Feng Yu commonly conceals herself as a small red bird, allowing her to remain near Lin Xiao without drawing attention. After her Nirvana, she can also take human form. 230 341

• Little Red Bird form — A small, fire-red bird with ruby-red eyes; she can shrink back into this form even after growing larger through Nirvana. 149 230
• Phoenix form — A noble, powerful phoenix whose presence can suppress Phoenix-blooded creatures and command reverence from Soul Beasts. 231 337
• Human form — A youthful, exceptionally beautiful girl with crimson hair, fair glass-like skin, faint red eye makeup, pink lips, a noble and aloof bearing, and a crimson dress formed from Soul Power. 341

Personality

Feng Yu is proud, sharp-tongued, and easily exasperated by Lin Xiao, often teasing him over their parent-child-like banter and refusing to yield the upper hand. 172 230 341 Her arrogance reflects her identity and former standing, though she recognizes that her re-cultivation has left her far below her prime. 231 341

Despite her pride, she is deeply attached to Lin Xiao. She worries about separations during Nirvana, supports his cultivation, and responds to his promise that she will no longer be alone by promising to remain with him as well. 209 229 She is determined to recover her strength and memories rather than surrender to her weakened state. 202
