781 Bloodline Supremacy Battle (II)
Huo Fenghuang was not playing around. She used her Heavenly Eye Technique to see through falseness. Unfortunately, Ao Shen used an Extreme-level Innate Treasure and could use a lot of its power with his Immortal Venerable strength, so she could not detect him.
So, Huo Fenghuang used the background of her Ancient Clan. Although Qiyuan almost left them broke, after so many years, they recuperated to some degree.
She waved her hand to summon an Extreme-level Innate Treasure in the shape of an eye–its name was Phoenix Eye.
‘Find you,’ thought Huo Fenghuang before instantly appearing before Ao Shen, using a brilliant application of Yin-Yang Dao. The distance between her and Ao Shen was considered “far” or “long,” but using Yin-Yang Reversal, she made it “near” or “short,” thus achieving instant teleportation.
She swung her White Tiger Killing Sword to devastating power. However, Ao Shen was now in a much better state, capable of fully utilizing his strength and battle experience.
[Domain of Darkness]
The starry sky was already dark–especially with all the stars in the surrounding destroyed. However, Huo Fenghuang sensed it became even darker.
She could not see or hear anything. Her Divine Sense was not working, and all her senses were off. Huo Fenghuang swiftly mobilized her Heavenly Eye Technique, an Innate Technique unique to the Huo Clan.
Upon cultivating to the pinnacle, this technique would grant the user visual prowess no less than someone with the Yin-Yang Eyes that have cultivated it to the extreme.
Huo Fenghuang combined the Heavenly Eye with her Phoenix Eye Artifact. Unfortunately, Ao Shen did the same thing with his Hidden Innate Treasure.
‘Nothing?’ thought Huo Fenghuang, as she felt her mind perturbed for a moment. The darkness had an eerie power that crept into the mind. Luckily, she had high Willpower and could use the Phoenix Flame to keep her sanity and Sea of Consciousness unaffected.
Then, she suddenly swung her sword to the left side of her. The sound of two people clashing echoed in this darkness.
“Impossible,” said Ao Shen, his voice echoing in the darkness. “How did you find me?”
“Luck,” replied Huo Fenghuang before attacking a random spot.
Clinic!
She once again discovered Ao Shen, showing it was not simply luck. Huo Fenghuang was using her Luck Dao from her Qilin Bloodline to find her opponent. As such, all her attacks were random but hit the jackpot each time; it was like winning the lottery each time.
Swish!
Huo Fenghuang attacked another spot, but to her surprise, she missed. Furthermore, she suddenly vomited a small mouthful of blood.
‘Luck Backlash?’ She detected that Ao Shen used a technique to affect her luck and even brought about backlash. ‘Luck is not absolute. Once someone overuses it, they would become unlucky. This part of luck could be considered it’s [darkness]. Is that how he did it? I should not underestimate him.’
Bang!
A fist full of the corrosion of darkness hit Huo Fenghuang on her back. However, she only took ten steps forward before stopping; her body was intact.
‘What? How is her body defense so powerful?’
Huo Fenghuang acted swiftly:
[Domain of Purification Flame]
She used her Yin-Yang Dao in tandem with her Flame Dao to create a domain full of Yang and Light Power.
The 7th Tier of the Ancient Cultivation System, also called the Primordial God System, is Law Comprehension. As the name implies, Cultivators will use their True Spirit to comprehend the law. The next stage is Law Domain, similar to Saints.
However, their Domain did not originate from the cultivators but from fusing a unique pocket dimension that existed in ancient times. This pocket dimension is a lesser version of the Dao Source Seed used by Dao Ancestors, and it’s called Law Abode.

The Ancient Clans have ways to grow Law Abodes–albeit incredibly challenging– and there are different levels. As this generation Heaven Chosen, Huo Fenghuang had access to the highest level.
With her domain that contained the opposite of Ao Shen’s Dao, she overwhelmed hisHuo Fenghuang, removing the darkness around him. Then, she caught a unique breath from Ao Shen’s body.
Through that breath, she used Yin-Yang Calculation and blessed her Heavenly Eyes, acquiring the power to detect him at any time and anywhere.
A dragon figure manifested behind her and fired a breath of water. The water traveled so fast that it could easily penetrate millions of galaxies.
However, Ao Shen did not want to be outdone. He opened his mouth and fired a breath of darkness, canceling her attack.
[Shadow Mimicry]
A strange aura flashed around Ao Shen’s body, but it was too fast for anyone to detect. Then, he instantly appeared before Huo Fenghuang and punched her.
Her body flew backward, breaking the space as if she had entered a black hole.
‘Her fleshly body,’ thought Ao Shen with a frown; his technique felt a great deal of resistance, so he could not completely analyze the situation.
Meanwhile, Huo Fenghuang ignored her injury as her eyes squinted.
‘He used my Yin-Yang Teleportation Technique.’ She detected that Ao Shen’s attack was the exact one she used after he broke her Probability Field. So, her mind rushed rapidly to analyze what happened.
‘Shadows are a part of Darkness. Did he use some form of shadow technique to imitate my power?’
Huo Fenghuang acted decisively and used her sword to temporarily kill her shadow. As expected, she felt Ao Shen’s connection to her was interrupted.
Boom!
Another attack hit her. Fortunately, she deployed a Yin-Yang Shield to protect her.
‘That punch destroyed my internal organs. And his Duyi Realm is preventing me from healing.’ Huo Fenghuang could tell with her 5th stage Duyi Realm, it would take too long to expel Ao Shen’s power. So, she used a cruel and efficient way.
She spit a drop of blood. Then, the Phoenix’s Flame of Nirvana enveloped that blood, growing a new and perfect body. Finally, she opened her mouth to absorb as much energy as possible from her previous body, leaving an empty and injured shell.
‘Time to end this battle,’ thought Huo Fenghuang, gazing directly at Ao Shen, who instinctively knew things were about to get serious.
‘I have three modes of battle, and two are useless,’ pondered Ao Shen. He has three fighting methods: using Darkness for assassination, using it to influence people’s minds, and using his Darkness body with tyrannical body and martial art.
Assassination is useless since Huo Fenghuang can discover him. Influencing the mind is also meaningless since Huo Fenghuang has a potent state of mind and a great understanding of the soul.
Ao Shen no longer hesitated and turned into a humongous all-black dragon, along with some purple marks. However, these things were new and the results of his Chaos Bloodline.
This was the first time he displayed his demonic form before the public, and he could guess the storm going outside.
He also understood the consequences if he was defeated, the pressure and danger the demon race would face after the world knew he was an Innate Dragon.
Huo Fenghuang calmly looked at him. She was tiny compared to the mighty dragon; her current size was even smaller than Ao Shen’s eye. However, she showed no fear, and her aura was no less than his.
Crack!
The space underneath Huo Fenghuang’s foot cracked as she flew toward Ao Shen.
Boom!
Before the proud dragon could react, she punched him in her mouth. The force behind the attack broke a couple of teeth, along with one of his horns.
[Roaaar]
Ao Shen roared in pain and anger, his dragon voice echoing throughout the entire battlefield, bringing attention to their battle.
‘Damn it, I need to hurry,’ thought Huo Fenghuang before appearing above him and kicking him on his skull. Ao Shen flew away, his body destroying multiple galaxies as he crashed through them.
‘Her strength has reached 8-Leaf,’ he thought, trying to control his mind and remain calm. ‘How did she break the limit? Could it be due to her fleshly body?’
If Huo Fenghuang could read his mind, she would tell him he guessed correctly. The Five Sacred Beasts were the pinnacles of Innate Demons, which also meant their physical body was among the best. So, Huo Fenghuang used their bloodline to temper her body, allowing her to bypass the limit.
Boom!
Huo Fenghuang attacked him; this time, she even used flame. However, the attack did not do as much damage as she expected. And the reason was due to Ao Shen’s black scales turning golden.
“This aura…The Golden Roc’s Emperor Artifact?” Then, she sneered as she could feel Ao Shen’s vitality rapidly declining due to the use of an Emperor Artifact.
She rushed to attack, but he evaded because his speed drastically increased due to the Artifact.
[Endless Abyss]
A black abyss suddenly appeared underneath Huo Fenghuang, generating a terrifying gravity that wanted to swallow her. With one glance, she detected this abyss was an endless world of darkness where she would fall for eternity.
Two fates would fall upon her if she were swallowed: crushed by gravity or kill herself after becoming insane by the act of constantly falling without stopping.
She stomped her feet to annihilate the abyss before rushing toward Ao Shen. However, Huo Fenghuang discovered the latter kept evading while trying to find a way to escape.
She punched him again, using the power of Yin-Yang. Then, everything in the surroundings became extremely slow.
“You’re finished,” she said. Huo Fenghuang turned into a white light and flew straight into Ao Shen’s body; she used her body to poke into his body. And she did not stop at once. She repeatedly flew with tremendous force, creating millions of human size holes in his body.
In a few seconds, Ao Shen looked like Swiss cheese.
“Stop,” yelled Ao Shen as he felt his life passing through him. Overusing the Emperor Artifact was already detrimental, and now, he was severely injured. Additionally, his weakened state made it impossible for him to break her technique.
Unfortunately, Huo Fenghuang did listen to him, her eyes full of killing intent.
“I have important information,” quickly yelled Ao Shen. “I can exchange them for my life.”
Huo Fenghuang finally stopped, looking at him solemnly. However, the killing intent from her eyes did not diminish one bit.
