The Creation Jade Butterfly Fragment and Yuanfeng's Injuries

Amid the attacks raining down from all sides.

Under the horrified gazes of Ancestral Dragon, First Qilin, and countless living beings.

The Chongming Bird, a Primordial Golden Immortal, had fallen just like that at the Southern Ming Undying Volcano.

Looking at the Chongming Bird's enormous corpse.

All the living beings looked at one another.

Who could have imagined it?

Not long ago, the Chongming Bird had been full of confidence. Now, it had become a cold corpse.

And from the moment the Chongming Bird fell.

The operation to besiege the Phoenix Clan had ended in total failure!

"Roar!"

"Roar!"

Ancestral Dragon and First Qilin roared in unison.

With reluctance and dejection, they led their countless clansmen away like a receding tide.

This time.

Ancestral Dragon and First Qilin had thrown the full strength of their entire clans into wiping out the Phoenix Clan.

But in the end, they had still fallen short at the last moment.

This was far more than a simple defeat.

The Dragon Clan and the Kirin Clan had suffered heavy losses.

They had even lost nearly half their Grand Unity Golden Immortals, damaging their foundations!

Ancestral Dragon and First Qilin were both utterly miserable.

Moreover.

Now that the Phoenix Clan had such a powerful defensive formation.

With the current strength of their two clans, they could no longer pose a threat to the Phoenix Clan.

Once Ling Tian, who was still in Yuanfeng's womb, was born and grew powerful through cultivation.

The Dragon Clan and the Kirin Clan would face their nightmare.

The only thing that comforted Ancestral Dragon and First Qilin was...

They had joined forces to badly wound Yuanfeng.

If Yuanfeng gave birth to Ling Tian while still gravely injured.

She might well be completely spent, with no chance to undergo Nirvana Rebirth.

And if Yuanfeng chose Nirvana...

Then Ling Tian would naturally be gone as well!

Back at the Southern Ming Undying Volcano.

Qing Luan couldn't even spare a thought for the cleanup. She immediately carried the gravely wounded Yuanfeng back to her cave dwelling.

"Sister, how are you?"

Feeling Yuanfeng's faint breath, Qing Luan's phoenix eyes reddened.

She had never seen the domineering Yuanfeng so weak.

"I'm fine. Cough, cough, cough..."

Yuanfeng replied, then suddenly began coughing violently.

She couldn't help spitting out a huge mouthful of blood and nearly passed out.

"Sister!"

Qing Luan cried out and immediately began sensing Yuanfeng's injuries.

The next moment.

Qing Luan's face turned deathly pale.

She could clearly sense that Yuanfeng was on the brink of exhaustion.

If things continued like this.

Once her origin was completely depleted,

Yuanfeng might lose even the chance to undergo Nirvana.

"Sister, hurry and undergo Nirvana. You can't put it off any longer!"

Qing Luan urged her desperately.

But then.

Qing Luan saw Yuanfeng gently shake her head, her gaze resolute.

Qing Luan quickly understood what Yuanfeng meant, and her gaze fell to Yuanfeng's belly.

"Sister, are you really going to give up your life for Ling Tian?"

"You'll die!"

"Waaah..."

As she spoke, Qing Luan could no longer hold back her tears.

She and Yuanfeng shared a deep bond, and now she had to watch helplessly as Yuanfeng died.

Qing Luan's Dao Heart was on the verge of collapse, and her tears flowed like a burst dam.

"Sister, the Phoenix Clan can't be without you!"

"Waaah..."

Meanwhile.

Yuanfeng looked at Qing Luan, who was overcome with grief, her eyes remarkably gentle.

"Dear Qing Luan, don't cry!"

"As far as the Phoenix Clan is concerned, your big sister here is an unfit clan leader."

"The little one should be the Phoenix Clan's leader."

"You don't know this, but the formation above us that saved us from certain doom was the little one's doing."

"To have such an outstanding son makes dying worth it!"

"Cough, cough, cough..."

Yuanfeng forced herself to keep talking.

But at the end, she couldn't help coughing again, and her face grew even paler.

"Sister!"

Qing Luan cried out in anguish and hurried forward to support Yuanfeng, but she couldn't bring herself to keep urging her.

What Yuanfeng and Qing Luan didn't know was...

Ling Tian, inside Yuanfeng's womb, was holding a porcelain bottle and didn't look the least bit sad.

Just as the gravely wounded Yuanfeng returned to her cave dwelling.

The system's voice suddenly rang in Ling Tian's ears...

[Beep!]

[Detected that Yuanfeng is unwilling to undergo Nirvana in order to protect the host. She is gravely wounded and on the brink of death. Please choose...]

[Option One: Do nothing and take her place. After being born, become the Phoenix Clan's leader. Reward: Heaven Suppressing Coffin.]

[Option Two: Mother and child share a deep bond. Heal Yuanfeng. Reward: Creation Jade Butterfly Fragment.]

Hearing the system's prompt.

Ling Tian pursed his lips.

Was there even anything to think about?

Yuanfeng would rather die than let anything happen to Ling Tian.

Yuanfeng had treated Ling Tian this way.

Ling Tian could naturally feel the depth of her affection.

No matter how great the reward was.

Ling Tian could never abandon Yuanfeng.

"System, I choose option two!"

As soon as he spoke.

A porcelain bottle suddenly appeared in Ling Tian's hand.

Three-colored light shot up from the bottle.

The bottle naturally contained the reward from his previous choice...

[Three Lights Divine Water]!

"I hope the rumors are true."

Ling Tian murmured.

The next moment.

[Three Lights Divine Water] turned into a streak of golden, silver, and purple light, instantly shooting out of the Fetal Membrane World.

It merged into Yuanfeng's flesh and blood and her Primordial Spirit.

Inside the cave dwelling.

After saying all that, Yuanfeng's spirit was flagging, and she was about to fall into a deep sleep.

But just then.

Yuanfeng abruptly sat upright, her eyes filled with disbelief.

At the same time.

Brilliant radiance suddenly burst from Yuanfeng's entire body.

Yuanfeng could clearly sense an extremely powerful current of spiritual energy appearing within her.

With its help.

Her injuries began to heal at an astonishing speed.

In just a few breaths.

The injuries to Yuanfeng's body had healed by more than half.

Even the injuries to her Primordial Spirit had recovered considerably.

Yuanfeng's spirits lifted, boundless delight in her eyes.

Without another thought, Yuanfeng immediately worked with this spiritual energy to heal herself with all her might!

Qing Luan had already noticed the change in Yuanfeng.

She could clearly sense that Yuanfeng, who had been on the brink of exhaustion, was rapidly recovering.

"Sister."

Qing Luan's eyes were filled with delight.

She didn't know why this was happening.

But Yuanfeng's recovery was the best possible outcome.

Time passed, and the years of Hong Huang were beyond counting.

When Yuanfeng awoke from her healing.

"Caw!"

Yuanfeng suddenly let out a loud, piercing cry.

An immensely powerful aura spread out from her.

Yuanfeng's injuries had already recovered by seven or eight tenths.

"Hahahahaha!"

"I actually recovered!"

Yuanfeng was filled with boundless delight. She looked at Qing Luan's pretty, charming face.

Then, with a quick peck!

Yuanfeng actually kissed her.

"Ah?"

Qing Luan couldn't help letting out a cry, her cheeks flushing red.

"Haha!"

Seeing how cute Qing Luan looked.

Yuanfeng was even happier. She hugged Qing Luan and whispered in her ear.

"Dear Qing Luan, I've recovered. I don't have to die anymore."

"That's wonderful!"

Inside Yuanfeng's womb.

Feeling Yuanfeng's injuries improve so much.

Ling Tian couldn't help smiling.

Although he had nearly exhausted the [Three Lights Divine Water] to heal Yuanfeng.

For Ling Tian.

It had all been worth it.

Ling Tian chuckled, then suddenly shouted toward the void.

"System, where's my reward?"

"Hand it over!"
