Desolate Era: Hatching a Phoenix at the Beginning

Chapter 165 Divine Beast Hybrid

“Although there are indeed some similarities, would such a situation really happen?” The only one who objected was the leader of the Feather Dragons. It was also the only one among the people and Divine Beasts present who had seen the original owner of the Spirit Core.

“Even though my memory is relatively vague, I don’t feel that I’m mistaken,” it recalled. “The feathers from the senior’s neck to its abdomen are silver-gray, and the tail feathers aren’t as long as those of the Immortal Phoenixes. At least I was able to detect these differences at a glance.”

“But there are also very few records of the Immortal Phoenixes appearing in the world, right?” Ye Chen questioned. “In the past thousand years, the appearance of the Immortal Phoenixes have only been recorded three times. Very few people have seen them. It’s not impossible for humans to mistake them.”

According to the records of the main world, the three most recent appearances of an Immortal Phoenix was about 1,000 years ago, 500 years ago, and 120 years ago. It was a pitifully small number. The appearance drawings that had been passed down were even worse. Ye Chen also shook his head when he saw them.

If he saw those portraits pieced together, he might not even be able to tell what kind of mutated beast it was.

“That’s ridiculous. Even only with written records, they shouldn’t have mistaken it.” The leader of the Feather Dragons was stubborn. It refused to accept the idea that those people were mistaken, but it couldn’t provide other evidence to refute.

While Ye Chen and the leader of the Feather Dragons were in a dilemma, Zhurong’s focus had completely gone astray.

“They dared to offer me a sacrifice without knowing what kind of mutated beast it is. How bold are those people…”

It started muttering to itself. Seeing that no one was paying attention, it touched the leader of the Feather Dragons with its wing.

“When did you say the guy was sacrificed in the fire array? I don’t have any relevant memories. Tell me the time. I might be able to remember a little.”

“About 110 years ago,” the leader of the Feather Dragons replied, “At that time, the sacrifice failed. You didn’t wake up at the corresponding time, so the humans gave up.”

“It was then? Thinking about the time, I do remember some of it.” Zhurong thought for a moment and really provided some new information. “Back then, I wasn’t awakened early by the sacrifice, but I woke up temporarily after they left. At that time, I sensed some strange Spiritual Energy lingering in the secret chamber of the fire array.”

“The Divine Rocs have an extreme Yin water attribute. That senior is also a mutated beast with a mutated attribute. It’s natural for it to leave behind the aura of Water Spiritual Energy,” the leader of the Feather Dragons said.

But Zhurong gave it a disapproving look.

“The water attribute alone doesn’t make me feel strange,” it continued, “That energy left behind seems to have two opposite attributes at the same time. Moreover, Fire Spiritual Energy is more dominant, but Water Spiritual Energy is also very pure and can’t be ignored…”

Then, it looked at Ye Chen.

“Have you considered the possibility that the Divine Beast being sacrificed might be a hybrid?”

Ye Chen was shocked and quickly turned around to look at the Kun Peng.

He had indeed thought of pairing up the Immortal Phoenix and the Kun Peng in the past, but he had given up because they were too young. Now that he thought about it, the Divine Roc had part of the Immortal Phoenix’s bloodline. The descendants of these two Divine Beasts might indeed be closer to the Immortal Phoenix in terms of appearance and ability.

This could explain why the description of the Divine Roc from the leader of the Feather Dragons was so strange.

But if that was the case, he had to pay attention to the Kun Peng’s situation.

If it was like what Zhurong had sensed that the Divine Beast actually had stronger Fire Spiritual Energy, then its Spirit Core must have the ability to mobilize Fire Spiritual Energy This wasn’t a big problem for the leader of the Feather Dragons. The Feather Dragons could possess Spiritual Energy of many attributes to begin with. This characteristic allowed them to not reject Spiritual Energy of the opposite attribute too much, but the effect on the Kun Peng wouldn’t be small.

Although the Kun Peng had a Yin-Yang Body, it was only resistant to the fire attribute. If it accidentally mobilized Fire Spiritual Energy, it would still cause some damage to its meridians.

However, they were all in the fire array now, and what they lacked the least was Fire Spiritual Energy! This was really too dangerous for the Kun Peng!

The Kun Peng, who was cooling the Spirit Sealing Altar, was fine, but Ye Chen didn’t dare to be careless.

“Do you have the Ice Fire Armor? Quick, give the Kun Peng a layer of it!” Seeing that the leader of the Feather Dragons was still standing at the side, he quickly requested.

The leader of the Feather Dragons probably understood Ye Chen’s worry. Without any hesitation, it quickly put on a layer of Ice Fire Armor around the Kun Peng.

This commotion alarmed the Kun Peng.

It heard a few soft sounds and felt a chill all over its body. It opened its eyes strangely and saw that it was surrounded completely by the Ice Fire Armor. Under the control of the leader of the Feather Dragons, a layer of ice also formed under its body. It was momentarily dumbfounded.

“Master, Senior, what are you doing? Remove the Ice Fire Armor!” It shouted at Ye Chen, “I don’t need it here. The altar can’t be struck. It’s just for a short time. Don’t be so anxious!”

It seemed to think that Ye Chen was in a hurry to get the Spirit Sealing Altar, so it dissuaded him without thinking.

With that said, it was really difficult for Ye Chen to continue. He looked at the leader of the Feather Dragons awkwardly and waved his hand to ask the other party to remove the Ice Fire Armor.

“We just discovered that there might be something wrong with your Spirit Core. Don’t use it to mobilize Spiritual Energy so much!” For the sake of the Kun Peng’s safety, Ye Chen added.

The Kun Peng was clearly even more confused than before.

“What are you talking about? This Spirit Core is very useful, isn’t it?” it asked, “Using it to mobilize Spiritual Energy to make the Spirit Wall Space, not only can I use Water Spiritual Energy, but I can also control the active Fire Spiritual Energy in the altar and stop it from flowing around. It’s very convenient. How can there be a problem?”

“You can mobilize Fire Spiritual Energy?” Ye Chen couldn’t keep up with the situation. “Are your meridians not damaged?”

“I couldn’t in the past, but I can when I’m using this Spirit Core.” The Kun Peng turned its head and paid attention to the situation of the altar as it replied, “It can help me wrap Fire Spiritual Energy in Water Spiritual Energy, greatly reducing the pressure on my meridians, so it’s not a problem to mobilize it… Wait!”

As it spoke, it suddenly realized that something was wrong.

“Master, didn’t you say that the Fire Spiritual Energy that repaired the altar came from Big Sister?” It asked in surprise, “My water attribute shouldn’t be able to defend against Big Sister’s fire!”
