Eternal Flame
"Phoenix?"
The Evil Corpse looked at Zhu Yan with a puzzled expression, not understanding why the other party would mention the Phoenix.
It should be understood that, whether in its past life or this one, the Phoenix belongs to the highest level of existence.
In their past lives, Phoenix were usually born alongside dragons.
So-called dragon and phoenix!
Being able to be compared to a totem like the dragon is enough to prove the high status of the Phoenix.
This is especially true in some literary works.
Whether in novels or films, the Phoenix is always among the most powerful beings.
In terms of strength, it's undeniable; it even possesses the ability to be reborn from the ashes.
In this world, the Phoenix is no ordinary creature either.
However, compared to other Demon Race, the Phoenix is the most unique race among Demon Race.
What makes them special is their bodies.
Unlike other Demon Race, the Phoenix's body, although containing flesh and blood, only makes up a small portion of its body.
The vast majority of their bodies are real Body Integration of energy.
This energy, a combination of flames and Demon Power, is the most unique existence in the world.
Only the Phoenix can wield this kind of energy.
Therefore, the Phoenix is a natural master of the Principle of Fire.
Their affinity for fire is astonishing, surpassing even that of the Three-Legged Golden Crow, which is said to rival the sun.
However, it is precisely because of the Phoenix's special characteristics that Phoenix numbers are extremely rare.
Despite the countless Demon Race army today, the number of Phoenix among them is negligible.
At most, it's only around a thousand.
This population is practically on the verge of extinction.
However, the reality is not so.
The number of Phoenix has remained basically the same since the birth of the Demon Race, and there has never been a significant decrease.
The reason for this is the Phoenix's own immense power.
These guys are different from other Demon Race.
The newly born Phoenix possesses the strength of Peak Daluo Golden Immortal, and with a little more growth, it can become Immortal Emperor.
Therefore, within the Phoenix clan, everyone is Immortal Emperor.
And that's not all; the current patriarch of the Phoenix Clan is one of the Twelve Great Sage of the Demon Race.
Therefore, despite their small number, they are all elites.
The Evil Corpse was somewhat puzzled; what did Zhu Yan mean by mentioning the Phoenix?
Could it be that its next task is related to the Phoenix?
"Judging from your appearance, you seem to know quite a bit about the Phoenix Clan, so I'll get straight to the point! The matter I'm entrusting to you is indeed related to the Phoenix Clan! Or rather, it's related to the grandson of the Phoenix Ancestor!"
"The grandson of Phoenix Ancestor?"
The Evil Corpse knew nothing about the grandson of the Phoenix Ancestor, but it had heard of the son of the Phoenix Ancestor and had even seen him in person!
Because that was a Supreme Powerhouse among the Demon Race!
When the last battle was almost over, it was this Phoenix Supreme Powerhouse's timely intervention that stopped the final counterattack of the Human Clan Supreme Powerhouse.
The scene from that time is still vivid in my mind.
That Supreme Powerhouse, like a god of fire descending to earth, suddenly stopped the Human Clan Supreme Powerhouse being who was pursuing them.
The two fought a fierce battle between their respective armies for an unknown period of time.
No one dared to approach and investigate.
Even the Evil Corpse could only observe cautiously from a distance.
He did not see the two Supreme Powerhouse in his sight.
All that could be seen was intense fire that dyed the background of the universe red, and world-destroying thunder that seemed like divine punishment.
That battle was beyond the comprehension of the Evil Corpse.
In his view, it was not a battle between two living beings, but a battle between two Origin forces in the universe.
It is a war of fire and thunder.
Under the conflict of these two forces, space is as fragile as a mirror, constantly breaking, recovering, and breaking again.
Ultimately, their clash left a spatial rift, measured in light-years, between the two armies.
It took a century for it to slowly heal.
The war between humans and demons ended in a century precisely because of the existence of this spatial rift.
There's still one thing the Evil Corpse hasn't figured out.
Their grandfather is Great Sage, and their father is Supreme Powerhouse. What could possibly require someone like me, Seventh-Level Immortal Emperor, to do?
Judging from the strength of the first two, even if this grandson of the Great Sage is not the best, his strength should not be lower than his own.
Zhu Yan naturally noticed the Evil Corpse's confusion, so he spoke up to explain.
"The Phoenix Ancestor's grandson is named Feng Lie, and his strength is comparable to mine; he is also Ninth-Level Immortal Emperor!"
"What?"
This made the Evil Corpse even stranger.
It's ridiculous that a Ninth-Level Immortal Emperor would need the help of a Seventh-Level Immortal Emperor like myself.
"Alright, stop overthinking! Here's the gist of the situation..."
Soon, Zhu Yan recounted the entire situation in detail.
It turns out that this Ninth-Level Immortal Emperor named Feng Lie has already reached the peak of his current strength.
The next step is to refine the Principle and advance to become the strongest.
Logically speaking, this process should have been a natural progression for Phoenix.
After all, he was born to be the king of fire, and his understanding of the Principle of Fire was definitely among the best in the Demon Race.
With enough accumulation, becoming the Supreme Powerhouse is much easier than for other Demon Race.
But that's not actually the case.
It is said that Feng Lie experienced a great change at birth, which resulted in Xiantian problems with its body.
Although he remained safe and sound under the control of the Phoenix Ancestor, and cultivated all the way to his current level.
But when he tried to break through to the Supreme Powerhouse, problems finally surfaced.
Its Xiantian flaws prevent it from forging Principle, thus making it impossible for it to ever advance to the Supreme Powerhouse.
This situation is worse than death for a Ninth-Level Immortal Emperor.
Phoenix Ancestor, of course, could not ignore it.
So it tried every possible way to help its grandson.
And ultimately, the solution to the problem was found in a flame called the Eternal Flame.
If Feng Lie can obtain the Eternal Flame and fuse with it, his problem will naturally be solved.
However, this kind of flame is extremely rare.
Even after searching most of the universe, Phoenix Ancestor couldn't find a trace of him.
It's not for any other reason than that the conditions for this kind of flame to be born are too demanding.
Even Phoenix Ancestor only encountered it once in its endless life.
And it was precisely that fortuitous opportunity that allowed it to absorb the Eternal Flame and successfully advance to the Peak Supreme Powerhouse!
However, perseverance pays off. After such a long search, Phoenix Ancestor finally rediscovered the existence of the Eternal Flame.
Unfortunately, this Eternal Flame is located within the territory of the Human Clan, and even in the Human Clan rear area.
Obtaining it is virtually impossible.
Firstly, those Phoenix Clan whose strength has not reached the Supreme Powerhouse cannot make a move.
Their innate affinity for fire will cause a violent reaction from the Eternal Flame, which will inevitably attract the attention of the Human Clan's powerful figures.
While the Great Sage and the Supreme Powerhouse can soothe the Eternal Flame through their control of the Principle of Fire.
But once they enter Human Clan territory, the Great Sage and Supreme Powerhouse of the Human Clan will sense it and certainly will not stand idly by.
Therefore, only those Demon Race who are not very strong but have a certain affinity for fire can complete this task.
Just then, the Evil Corpse broke through to the Seventh-Level Immortal Emperor.
That's why Zhu Yan thought of him!
