Holy Dragon Egg

"Shapeshifting Tanuki—truly worthy of the name!"

Chapter 9: Legend of the Beast God

Rumble!

The next moment!

That enormous Phoenix let out a massive roar.

A pair of phoenix eyes brimmed with majesty.

It cast a haughty, disdainful gaze at Chen Xuan and his Phantom Beast.

To be honest!

The legendary Phoenix had a bloodline rank that reached the highest level—Mythic-grade.

It was one of the most powerful Phantom Beasts.

By bloodline rank, it was indeed qualified to look down on a Phantom Beast like the Holy Light Dragon.

Rumble!

A thick torrent of flame spewed forth.

Like an erupting magma flow.

The Phoenix, glaring at Chen Xuan, clearly attacked him and the Holy Light Dragon.

The massive magma rolled forward with overwhelming might.

Anyone would think that magma could reduce everything to ashes.

In an instant, the rolling flames surged like a giant wave crashing down.

"Ahhh!"

"We're done for, this time we're done for!"

"If those flames from the Phoenix touch us, we'll probably turn to ash in a second!"

Li Cong shouted in a fluster.

One crisis after another.

Just after the two giant Phantom Beasts were saved by that mysterious Beast God and the Holy Dragon.

Who would have thought they'd run into this legendary Phoenix?

"Congzi, dying under the flames of a divine bird like the Phoenix—we can count ourselves lucky!"

Deng Xiuwen's expression was strange, as if torn between reluctance and contentment.

To die beneath the Phoenix's flames.

Whether that was fortune or misfortune was hard to say.

The rolling flames instantly filled this stretch of the valley.

Like a tidal wave of fire.

Its might was terrifyingly abnormal.

Below the platform, the Wind Wolves that had been surrounding them earlier.

All fled with their tails tucked, leaving only billowing dust behind.

Facing a legendary divine beast like this, they were weaker than ants.

How could they dare to confront it directly?

Li Cong and Deng Xiuwen's faces were already deathly pale.

Yet Chen Xuan remained completely calm.

Clearly!

That Shapeshifting Tanuki knew that Chen Xuan and the Holy Light Dragon before it were the truly troublesome enemies.

It tried to use the Phoenix's innate bloodline to intimidate Chen Xuan into retreating.

If it had been an ordinary Beast Master and Phantom Beast.

They probably would have run.

Just like Deng Xiuwen and Li Cong.

Unfortunately, it had run into Chen Xuan, who had a system.

He could see the Phantom Beast's attribute panel.

In Chen Xuan's eyes.

That conjured Phoenix still displayed as Shapeshifting Tanuki Mutant.

"Looks like this little guy has seen a Phoenix before—not simple at all!"

Chen Xuan laughed.

The next moment!

He had already commanded the Holy Light Dragon, Little White, to launch an attack.

"Judgment of Light!"

A massive white cross smashed toward the Phoenix.

Boom!

The cross crashed into the flames.

There was no resistance at all.

Deng Xiuwen and Li Cong shielded their faces with their arms.

But they found that when the flames touched their bodies...

...nothing happened at all.

Just as they were stunned, they saw that enormous cross slam into the Phoenix.

The next moment!

"Waaah!"

A pained cry rang out.

Boom!

A strange sound echoed.

They saw the Phoenix transform into the form of a tanuki.

"A tanuki?"

The tanuki had a lump on its head from the impact.

It was rubbing its head in pain.

"Contract!"

Right at that moment.

A flash of light appeared.

Linking the Shapeshifting Tanuki and Chen Xuan.

In an instant!

The tanuki, which had been flying in the sky, turned into a beam of light and vanished into Chen Xuan's body.

The Mimicry Mutation of the Shapeshifting Tanuki.

Was itself an extremely rare and peculiar Phantom Beast.

Coupled with the fact that it was a mutation, possessing the ability to mimic.

Chen Xuan intended to nurture it.

Once it evolved in the future, it could transform into even more Phantom Beasts.

And even possess some of the original's abilities.

This could be considered an extremely powerful Phantom Beast.

Thinking this!

Chen Xuan rode Little White toward the Obsidian Evolution Stone.

Sharp claws.

Pierced straight through the protective barrier in one go.

A black stone appeared in Chen Xuan's hand.
