Chapter 238
At this moment, Liu Bai's entire body was almost completely covered in blood. The terrifying pressure emanating from the surroundings was so immense that it seemed as if it could crush his body into pieces. Within his flesh, dark golden and jade white light continuously blossomed. This was the Dragon Phoenix essence blood and the Ice Jade Divine Lotus repairing the damage to his body.
It was precisely because of possessing flesh and blood restoration abilities stronger than even divine beasts that Liu Bai was still able to maintain a complete form when stepping onto the tenth step. Otherwise, he would have ended up like Mu Chen, with his flesh exploding and only his skeleton remaining.
The moment Liu Bai stepped onto the tenth step, a golden light pillar shot up into the sky.
The people below immediately noticed that within this golden pillar, golden liquid flowed. Upon closer inspection, they realized it was all Dragon Phoenix essence blood.
Once the Dragon Phoenix essence blood within the pillar condensed to a certain degree, it transformed into a golden rain that fell upon Liu Bai's body, seeping rapidly into his cracked muscles.
As the Dragon Phoenix essence blood grew more concentrated, Liu Bai's body, which had been on the verge of collapse, gradually stabilized. New wounds no longer appeared, and old injuries were swiftly healed by the overwhelming restorative power. In the blink of an eye, Liu Bai transformed from a blood-soaked figure into a complete and strong form, even absorbing the blood that had originally flowed from him.
Everyone watched enviously, aware of just how pure the Dragon Phoenix essence blood within the golden pillar was. Even a hundred Dragon Phoenix Pools could never compare.
Many could not help but feel jealous. Liu Bai was already strong, and now with the Dragon Phoenix essence blood refining his body, it was as if he had wings added to a tiger. In the future, he would not even need array; relying solely on his own strength, even a Seventh-Grade Sovereign might not be a match for him.
Of course, everyone on the staircase also realized something.
The tenth step was less about pressure and more a test of willpower.
When standing on the ninth step, everything told you that stepping onto the tenth step meant death. Without immense courage and determination to face death, who would dare ascend the tenth step?
When Liu Bai stepped onto the tenth step, although it was still a perilous ordeal, the Dragon Phoenix blood bath descending from the essence blood ensured he would not die, and even greatly enhanced the strength of his body. This was a true blessing.
When the golden light atop the Dragon Phoenix Platform finally disappeared, everyone eagerly looked toward it. They wanted to see what Liu Bai had become and how much stronger he had grown.
As their gazes converged, the first thing they saw was a golden, muscular body. On his chest, golden dragon patterns coiled, and the dragon's pressure looked down on the world with a majesty that seemed untouchable.
Behind Liu Bai, faintly visible, were golden phoenix patterns with outstretched wings. These phoenix patterns appeared almost alive, so vivid that it seemed as though they would break free from his body and soar across the sky.
Seeing the dragon and phoenix patterns, everyone felt a pressure emanating directly from his bloodline, causing them to instinctively feel the urge to kneel and submit.
How could this be? Everyone was shocked.
Could it be that Liu Bai had truly achieved a true dragon and true phoenix body?
Liu Bai, however, paid no attention to them. All his focus was on the true dragon and true phoenix patterns on his chest and back. He could feel that the dragon and phoenix patterns were almost alive.
This was not wrong. Liu Bai knew that if he could obtain the Dragon Phoenix True Scripture, a cultivation method for true dragon and true phoenix, he could activate these patterns, and perhaps even eventually give birth to a true dragon and true phoenix. Then they would indeed be alive.
While Liu Bai was lost in thought, the altar atop the Dragon Phoenix Platform suddenly erupted with golden light. Within the light appeared numerous dragon scales and phoenix feathers, and faintly visible on them were ancient inscriptions flashing intermittently.
Those who saw could not help but shout. "These are the legacies left behind by true dragons and true phoenixes!"
As the dragon scales and phoenix feathers appeared, a commotion erupted throughout the world. Countless people's eyes turned red. The items stored by true dragons and true phoenixes were genuine treasures, the very reason these geniuses competed so fiercely.
Even obtaining just one of these treasures would greatly benefit their cultivation.
The dragon scales and phoenix feathers swirled above the Dragon Phoenix Platform, enveloping the entire Dragon Phoenix Stairway. Clearly, only those who could ascend the Dragon Phoenix Stairway were qualified to obtain these treasures. Moreover, the higher the steps one reached, the rarer the inheritance items.
No matter how envious those below were, it was of no use.
Liu Bai also raised his head, observing the layers of dragon scales and phoenix feathers. By their emitted golden light, he could distinguish their relative strength. The higher up the Dragon Phoenix Stairway, the fewer the ancient dragon scales and phoenix feathers, yet their light was stronger.
Before Liu Bai, there were only ten light clusters. Although their glow did not seem especially strong, Liu Bai knew very well that these ten items were the most precious treasures in the Dragon Phoenix Heaven.
"Unfortunately, only one chance..."
Liu Bai admitted he was greedy, but so what?
If it were not for the Dragon Phoenix Platform's limitations and overwhelming power, he would have found a way to obtain all ten treasures.
As for waiting until his strength was sufficient, that was completely unrealistic.
By the time Liu Bai's strength reached that level, he would likely become a Heavenly Sovereign. At that point, how could he possibly care about the remaining treasures within Dragon Phoenix Heaven?
This was also why places like Dragon Phoenix Heaven or the ruins of the Fourth Hallmaster's fallen domain existed in the Northern Region, yet no true powerhouse had ever cleared them out.
Because such strong individuals could not care less about these treasures.
Looking at the ten light clusters before him, Liu Bai did not immediately choose one. He did not know which contained the Dragon Phoenix True Scripture he desired.
Recalling the story, it seemed the Dragon Phoenix True Scripture was drawn to the Dragon Phoenix Stairway. Liu Bai's best option now was to let the scripture reveal itself to him.
Thinking it, he acted. Liu Bai activated his Dragon Phoenix Body, and the true dragon and true phoenix patterns on his chest and back transformed into golden light, guiding him toward the farthest right of the ten light clusters.
Under the guidance of the golden light, Liu Bai's gaze quickly fixed on a seemingly ordinary light cluster. Under the pull, it came to him.
Upon closer inspection, the light cluster contained a dark golden bone, covered in ancient patterns resembling the oldest inscriptions in the world, emitting a mysterious and unfathomable fluctuation.
[Ding. Top-tier Body Refining Divine Art Dragon Phoenix True Scripture detected. Record now?]
Liu Bai curled his lips into a smile and immediately chose to agree.
In the next moment, the Dragon Phoenix True Scripture appeared among the many techniques Liu Bai cultivated.
Of course, it was still at the uninitiated level.
Liu Bai did not rush to allocate points. Instead, he looked at the golden beast bone in his hand. This was a precious item, the essence of a true dragon and phoenix skeleton.
Most importantly, it contained the ancient patterns recording cultivation methods.
Although Liu Bai had some overpowered methods to directly enter the Dragon Phoenix True Scripture, those required a significant amount of experience points, especially when dealing with such a top-tier divine art, which naturally consumed even more.
But if he could take a shortcut to save some experience, Liu Bai was more than willing.
A faint smile appeared on his face. He clenched his palm, pressed his nails into the center, and dark red blood from surged forth, dripping from his fingers onto the golden bone.
As the crimson blood slowly covered the golden bone, the ancient and obscure patterns on it began to writhe as if they had come back to life. Then with a flash, a beam of golden light shot from the bone straight into Liu Bai's forehead.
In the next moment, Liu Bai felt darkness before his eyes and suddenly found himself inside a vast golden ocean space.
Amid the rolling waves, a figure sat atop the crest of a wave and suddenly raised its head to unleash a long howl. The sound was extremely strange, part dragon's roar, part phoenix's cry, yet also a perfect combination of both, ancient and filled with unmatched power.
Whoosh.
Golden light erupted violently from the figure, transforming before Liu Bai's astonished gaze into an immense true dragon and a soaring true phoenix.
This scene fully displayed the strength of the Dragon Phoenix Body.
Yet the figure's demonstration did not end. With a sweep of its sleeves, the coiling dragon and phoenix roared and collided with each other.
A dazzling explosion of golden light erupted. The true dragon and true phoenix vanished, replaced by a massive, mysterious creature of unimaginable size.
It possessed a giant dragon-like body covered in dark golden scales that shimmered brilliantly. From its colossal form stretched a pair of enormous phoenix wings, each spanning tens of thousands of meters, stretching across the sky and blinding the sun.
Dragon Phoenix.
A faint smile curved on Liu Bai's lips.
Perhaps others could not recognize this rare ability, a super divine beast that dominated the Beast Record by suppressing the four spirits of heaven and earth, but Liu Bai knew it clearly. Moreover, he knew that in the current Great World, a living Dragon Phoenix still existed.
The figure had fully displayed the potential of the Dragon Phoenix True Scripture, making Liu Bai's blood boil with excitement.
Then the Dragon Phoenix vanished. The ancient characters of the Dragon Phoenix True Scripture floated in Liu Bai's mind, followed by a series of obscure and difficult-to-understand messages.
However, there was no time for Liu Bai to carefully comprehend them. Soon, the sky above the Dragon Phoenix Platform began to shift, forming a massive spatial vortex.
The Dragon Phoenix Heaven had concluded. Those who had obtained what they could were satisfied, and those who had not simply watched from the sidelines and shared in the envy. They did not linger, transforming into beams of light and rushing into the spatial vortex.
Leaving Dragon Phoenix Heaven, Liu Bai reappeared in the Dragon Phoenix Mountain Range.
No territorial sovereigns came to cause trouble. Liu Bai considered himself not a troublemaker. Unlike Mu Chen in the original story, he did not attract enemies wherever he went.
Although he had been somewhat domineering within Dragon Phoenix Heaven, he had not taken lives, so the top-tier powerhouses behind the scenes were not compelled to act against him.
This was not because Liu Bai was timid. Rather, those forces were too weak to provide him with much experience. Liu Bai had no interest in bothering with them unless someone foolishly approached him.
And these geniuses were not stupid. They knew Liu Bai's strength was sufficient to crush them, so they would not recklessly approach.
"Brother Liu, thank you for your help. I will certainly report today's events to my teacher and remember your assistance. We will meet again!" The Saintess Su Biyue approached, bowing gracefully toward Liu Bai, exuding a celestial aura.
"It is nothing, Miss Su. May your journey be safe." Liu Bai bowed and smiled in farewell.
After seeing Su Biyue off, it was the turn of the demoness Hong Yu. Compared to the former's polite manner, Hong Yu was more casual, displaying a subtle yet unusual intimacy.
Of course, this was not because Liu Bai was handsome or powerful and she had taken a fancy to him.
The difference in behavior between the two was purely due to their personalities. Hong Yu sometimes spoke and acted as if teasing, which might lead naive, imaginative young men to mistakenly think she was interested in them.
"Hmph. I originally wanted to thank you properly, but now I have changed my mind!" Hong Yu's coquettish voice rang out, her large watery eyes staring at Liu Bai with a mix of pride and charm.
"Oh? Why?"
Liu Bai remained unbothered, his expression calm and his smile gentle.
"Because you are too bad. You have me yet still go provoke Sister Su…"
Liu Bai smiled lightly. Precisely because they would not get along did he bring them together.
"All right, no thanks then. I must go. We shall meet again!" Liu Bai looked at the departing figures, prepared to set off, bowing to Hong Yu as he turned to leave.
Hong Yu rolled her eyes. This man was far too dull. He did not react at all to her. Could it be that he did not like her type?
"All right, enough teasing. Since Sister Su has already promised you, I will do the same. I will report today's events to my master. You will not be disappointed. Farewell."
Hong Yu finally waved and quickly disappeared into the horizon.
With their clever minds, both women could naturally guess Liu Bai's intentions regarding Dragon Phoenix Heaven. At the brink of the Great Hunt Battle, securing a powerful ally would make both the Demon Gate and the Myraid Saints Mountain willing partners. Both women made their promises as they departed, seeing the opportunity clearly.
