100,000-Year Bright Phoenix, Ultimate Light Fire! Huang Yan: If Soul Beasts Cannot Become Gods, Then I Will Seize a Body!

Sunset Forest, Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

Directly above the convergence of the springs, a giant cocoon suspended in mid-air was enveloped by the elemental energy of dual ultimate attributes: light and fire.

"Crack—"

A shattering sound rang out.

Immediately following, a brilliant pillar of golden light shot straight into the sky.

"Screech—!"

Accompanied by a phoenix cry, the light cocoon exploded into fragments!

A divine bird with a wingspan exceeding ten meters stretched its feathers and soared toward the heavens!

The ultimate light dispelled the surrounding gloom, while the ultimate fire caused the space around it to ripple with distortion.

The terrifying pressure of a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast swept outward like a tsunami.

Every soul beast within a hundred-mile radius trembled in that instant.

Deep-seated fear within their bloodlines compelled them to prostrate themselves toward the direction of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

High in the air, the Bright Phoenix spread its wings and circled in flight.

Its phoenix eyes were filled with wild ecstasy!

One hundred thousand years of cultivation... finally, one hundred thousand years!

Huang Yan felt a surge of intense emotion.

Looking back on the past, it felt like a lifetime ago.

One thousand years ago, Huang Yan transmigrated to the Douluo world.

When his consciousness awakened, he discovered he had become a giant egg, having landed right at the intersection of energy at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

(Note: An egg of a divine beast brought down from the God Realm by the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings when they fell.)

Benefiting from the unique, heaven-blessed spiritual energy of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

Huang Yan successfully broke his shell and discovered his species was a Bright Phoenix!

The name might sound a bit unfamiliar.

But in reality, it was the same Martial Soul possessed by Yan Shaozhe and Ye Xishui in the second generation!

With an extraordinary bloodline, he possessed both the Ultimate Light and the Ultimate Fire—these dual ultimate attributes!

For an ordinary soul beast to reach one hundred thousand years of cultivation, it would need to endure a long and tedious ten-thousand-year span.

During that time, they would face the constant threat of natural predators and the suppression of the laws of heaven and earth.

But Huang Yan, relying solely on the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well and his own top-tier bloodline that stood above all living things.

He had frantically compressed that long, hundred-thousand-year journey.

From reincarnating as an egg to soaring on wings today, he had used only a full thousand years.

He had crossed the chasm that countless soul beasts could only dream of, successfully stepping into the peak realm of a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast!

In this era.

An ordinary Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast already possessed combat power equivalent to a Super Douluo!

Not to mention him, Huang Yan.

After calming down, Huang Yan fell into deep thought.

"I must first figure out the specific timeline of the era I am in."

As Huang Yan said this, his figure shifted, and he transformed into human form!

"I didn't expect that even though my cultivation is only one hundred thousand years, I can walk in human form just like a Fierce Beast!"

Huang Yan examined himself and nodded with great satisfaction.

This was a talent he had only grasped after his cultivation broke through to the one-hundred-thousand-year mark.

Although Huang Yan felt surprised, he also found it reasonable.

After all, Xiao Bai, the Demon Soul Great White Shark who guarded the gate for Sea God Island, could transform.

As a dignified Bright Phoenix, it was only logical that he could transform, right?

Huang Yan immediately headed toward the outskirts of the Sunset Forest.

Before long, he learned the current timeline from a few soul masters who had entered the Sunset Forest to hunt for soul rings.

Twelve years ago, after the 'Clear Sky Douluo' Tang Hao severely wounded Qian Xunji.

Qian Xunji 'never recovered from his injuries and died.'

From this, one could directly deduce the truth.

"In other words, Tang San is exactly 12 years old this year!"

Huang Yan returned to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well and muttered to himself.

"Twelve years old... the Shrek Seven Devils haven't officially assembled yet; everything has only just begun."

Huang Yan took a deep breath, his heart suddenly clearing.

He realized with a jolt that this era was, for him, the best of all possible times.

It was, furthermore, the only era in which he could defy the heavens and change his fate!

Because Huang Yan knew better than anyone else.

If he were to delay any longer, waiting until Tang San fully matured and even ascended to the God Realm after inheriting dual godhood.

Then the good days for the entire soul beast race would be well and truly over!

As a transmigrator, he understood the future trajectory of the Douluo Continent all too well.

In the subsequent eras of Douluo II, Douluo III, and even further into the future, the plight of soul beasts would only grow increasingly miserable.

From being wantonly hunted by humans and having their living space continuously squeezed, to the eventual destruction of the Star Dou Great Forest and their near extinction.

They would even be forced to become human 'spirit souls'...

The soul beasts that once dominated the continent would eventually sink into total ruin, generation after generation left to be slaughtered, reduced to resources and vassals kept in human captivity!

Thinking of this, a trace of icy coldness that could not be melted flashed through the depths of Huang Yan's eyes.

He knew that, in truth, there were only two choices laid out before him.

Either, like those fierce beasts in the original work, he could find some deep mountain forest to hide away in, acting like a turtle pulling its head into its shell, avoiding all worldly strife.

But what would be the result?

When the future Tang San became the high and mighty God King.

With his own top-tier bloodline as a hundred-thousand-year Bright Phoenix, it would be absolutely impossible for him to remain unscathed.

At that time, he would either be forced by a divine decree from the God Realm to have a slave mark branded upon him.

Like a dog, he would be leashed and paraded around the God Realm or the Tang family, left to guard their gates.

Or, he would be treated as an extremely precious prey by those so-called children of destiny and the powerful elites of the God Realm.

He would be ruthlessly hunted, skinned, and deboned, transformed into a hundred-thousand-year red spirit ring and top-tier spirit bone for someone else to show off!

How could he, Huang Yan, ever accept such an utterly stifling end?!

"Therefore, I am left with only the second choice."

Huang Yan clenched his fists tightly, his knuckles popping with a crisp sound, as a streak of arrogant golden holy fire burned fiercely in his eyes.

"Right in this era, I will go all out and take a gamble!"

"As long as I can seize the initiative in this era, ascend to the God Realm, and achieve a supreme god position, then all rules and destinies will be mine to dictate!"

However...

After the surge of ambition, an extremely realistic and fatal iron law poured over Huang Yan's heart like ice water.

Soul beasts cannot become gods.

Ever since the War of the Dragon God, the God Realm Committee had issued a prohibition, completely severing the path for the beast race to ascend to the God Realm.

Even if his combat power were heaven-defying, as long as he wore this soul beast shell, he would never be able to cross that final step.

Just as Huang Yan felt a wave of unwillingness, a flash of inspiration struck his thoughts like lightning.

Huang Yan suddenly woke up, his breathing instantly becoming rapid.

Wait!

Although my current shell is a hundred-thousand-year Bright Phoenix...

But in essence, I am a transmigrator!

My soul has been purely human from the very beginning!

"Although my body is a soul beast, my soul is human!"

Thinking this, Huang Yan couldn't help but grow excited.

"Since that is the case, why don't I just change into a human body?"

Huang Yan immediately thought of a person in this era who had been parasitized and possessed:

Tang Chen!

In the Capital of Killing, Tang Chen had been tricked by the Rakshasa God.

He was subsequently parasitized by the Blood-Red Nine-Headed Bat King.

He was still in the Capital of Killing, 'cosplaying' as the King of Killing.

It was nothing short of miserable.

Using the Blood-Red Nine-Headed Bat King as a reference.

Huang Yan thought of a solution.

That was possession!

Human soul + human body.

Wouldn't that just be a pure-blooded human?
