Chapter 406 - 404: Demon Phoenix’s Demonic Thought
The Land of the Demon Phoenix’s Fiery Rebirth was, according to legend, its Land of Enlightenment.
It was an extraordinary place that held a great secret.
For instance, it was here that Blood Hand and Qing Xun had obtained the inheritances of the Blood Phoenix Empress and the Cyan Phoenix Empress.
As for Jiang Jichen, a wisp of the Demon Phoenix’s Flame of Origin had directly entered his body.
This realm was vast. Above, layers of black, scorched rocks floated, periodically spewing crimson flames—an astonishing sight.
On the ground, amidst a sea of lava, stood three stone platforms at its center: one blood-red, one cyan, and one black.
The scene in this land of lava was now very strange.
A man wore a demonic smile, his gaze cold and predatory as he stared at Blood Hand and Qing Xun on the stone platforms.
His black hair whipped about, giving him an air of wild arrogance. A sinister aura emanated from him, making him look like a young Demon God.
He strode forward, quickly arriving at the center of the lava field.
He could now look at Blood Hand and Qing Xun from mere inches away.
It was the first time Jiang Jichen had seen Blood Hand’s true face.
Blood Hand’s beauty was stunning, on par with the likes of Chang Xian’Er, one of the Three Beauties of Yunshui.
However, Blood Hand’s beauty was of a cold, blood-tinged sort, whereas Chang Xian’Er was utterly enchanting.
Qing Xun was the sweet type of girl. Even with the aloof air of the Cyan Phoenix, this inherent trait of hers was hard to conceal. Furthermore, her looks were not far off from the Three Beauties of Yunshui.
If he hadn’t been influenced by the Demonic Thought, upon encountering such a fortunate situation, Jiang Jichen would have surely put on an act before finding a way to secretly watch for a while.
Even if he had certain ideas, he would have definitely suppressed them and not let them show, feigning the part of a perfect gentleman.
But now, Jiang Jichen was being very direct, making no effort to conceal the intent in his eyes.
"From now on, you are my women!"
Jiang Jichen declared with a wicked smile.
At that moment, Jiang Jichen’s Demonic Qi surged to the heavens. His terrifying aura shook the very realm, as if a peerless Divine Demon had descended upon the world.
He then stepped directly onto the jet-black stone platform.
’The Demon Phoenix’s inheritance Dao Platform, plus this brat’s perfect Golden Vein Dao Body... hmm, the Fusion shouldn’t be a problem!’
Jiang Jichen muttered to himself.
But in truth, the one on display was not the real Jiang Jichen.
It was his demonic side, controlled by the Demon Phoenix’s thought. Right now, he was, in fact, a complete Demon.
However, once the Fusion was complete, it would become a truly awakened wisp of the Demon Phoenix Divine Thought.
Moreover, this wisp of Demon Phoenix Divine Thought was actually a Demonic Thought, formed from drifting aimlessly in this realm for far too long.
Naturally, it was not the true consciousness of the Demon Phoenix’s original body.
All things considered, it was now a wisp of the Demon Phoenix’s Demonic Thought, attempting to seize a body and be reborn.
At this moment, Jiang Jichen’s true consciousness was being suppressed by a massive Demonic Thought, pushed into a very hidden corner of his Sea of Consciousness.
He could see everything happening in the outside world, but his physical body was no longer under his control.
’Damn it, this Demonic Thought is trying to devour me! No, I absolutely cannot let its Fusion succeed!’
Jiang Jichen thought.
If the Demon Phoenix’s Demonic Thought succeeded in its Fusion, his own consciousness would inevitably be devoured.
It was just like in the Exquisite Treasure Tower, when Purple Sun had tried to seize his bloodline. If he hadn’t possessed the Seven-Colored Divine Soul back then, this body would now belong to Purple Sun.
As for the real Jiang Jichen, he would have long since ceased to exist.
The current situation was the same, except the Demon Phoenix’s Demonic Thought was vastly more powerful than Purple Sun.
This time, his situation was dire. The slightest misstep could lead to his demise.
But in truth, he was also gambling on something.
The Demon Phoenix’s land of fiery rebirth held a great secret, but finding it was not so easy, let alone knowing how to reach it and unlock it.
But as the Demon Phoenix’s Demonic Thought, having drifted in this realm for hundreds of millions of years, how could any of its secrets be unknown to it?
Sure enough, the Demon Phoenix’s Demonic Thought began to move its hands, forming profound and ancient Seals.
HUMMM!
The black stone Dao Platform actually began to transform. Simultaneously, a mysterious curtain of light appeared, enveloping the area.
At the same time, Blood Hand and Qing Xun, from the adjacent blood-red and cyan stone platforms, were swept directly to Jiang Jichen’s side by a Secret Power.
Jiang Jichen, controlled by the Demon Phoenix’s Demonic Thought, stared straight ahead. His hands continued their phantom-like movements, the Sealing Technique forming faster and faster.
Jiang Jichen could see and feel that this was the secret Hand Seal to activate the black stone platform.
BOOM!
The next moment, the black stone platform began to sink into the lava.
Through the mysterious curtain of light, Jiang Jichen could see that they were completely surrounded by fiery red lava.
The lava was terrifyingly hot; the deeper they descended, the higher the temperature soared.
But for now, it was all held at bay by the mysterious curtain of light emanating from the black stone platform.
’Hmm, it will take some time to reach the very bottom of this lava pit. In the meantime, I can first drag out this brat’s original soul, extinguish it, and then complete the Fusion with this body!’
The Demon Phoenix’s Demonic Thought whispered.
Then, it began to circulate the Demon Phoenix Remnant Technique.
Beside him, Qing Xun and Blood Hand were practitioners of the Blood Phoenix Technique and the Cyan Phoenix Technique.
Now, sensing the Demon Phoenix Aura radiating from Jiang Jichen’s body, the last vestiges of their sanity were completely obliterated.
But Jiang Jichen’s body remained motionless, his hands forming a strange Hand Seal as he circulated the Demon Phoenix Remnant Technique.
"Brat, now I will eradicate and devour your pathetic little consciousness!"
A cruel, cold voice drifted through the space within Jiang Jichen’s Sea of Consciousness.
