"Exactly. If there were no other unusual circumstances, then on this Dou Qi Continent where Dou Di had vanished, a Peak Nine-Star Dou Sheng would indeed be invincible. But unfortunately, I am that unusual circumstance."
As she spoke, the Heavenly Phoenix Clan Leader smiled proudly. "Because in life, I used Source Qi to temper my body once. With the aid of that Source Qi, I surpassed the Dou Sheng realm and had almost stepped halfway into the Dou Di realm."
"No wonder!"
Upon hearing her explanation, Lin Feng suddenly understood, though he was also immensely shocked.
When she had still been alive, even Hun Tiandi would probably have had no choice but to turn and flee upon seeing her.
Feng'er, standing nearby, was equally overwhelmed with shock after hearing those words.
Ever since learning that she had been the last Clan Leader of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan, Feng'er had imagined her to be an eight-star or even Nine-Star Dou Sheng expert.
Yet upon hearing that she had already stepped halfway into the Dou Di realm during her lifetime, she was still left too stunned to say anything.
While Lin Feng and Feng'er were frozen in astonishment, the Heavenly Phoenix Clan Leader's voice continued to ring through the sky.
"As for why you sensed a familiar aura from me, I believe it is because of the Dragon Phoenix Bloodline."
Lin Feng paused briefly, then asked uncertainly, "Dragon Phoenix Bloodline... Senior, are you saying that you also consumed the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit?"
"That is not the case."
The Heavenly Phoenix Clan Leader shook her head at his question, denying his guess.
"However, since you have encountered the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit before, you should know that aside from increasing one's strength, it also possesses the strange effect of altering one's bloodline."
