The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood Chapter 1655 - 1656: Phoenix Spirit Feather
Previously on The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood...
Hong Ling transformed into a Blood Meteor Phoenix, terrifying artifact spirit energy poured entirely into her body, causing her form to swell several times its original size, a level of energy infusion beyond her imagination.
Even so, this energy still could not break through the barrier of the Earth-grade Immortal Treasure. For Hong Ling to reach Earth-grade, she needed to absorb even more energy; only then could she directly break through the barrier.
However, Hong Ling was already at her limit. Breaking through this limit once more was easier said than done.
Hong Ling also endured immense pain, absorbing the artifact spirit energy bit by bit. At this moment, each strand of energy she absorbed brought her great agony.
Within the Spiritual Artifact Pool, countless mixed artifact spirit energies were continuously absorbed into Hong Ling’s body. The body of the Blood Meteor Phoenix began to show tiny cracks, threatening to collapse at any moment.
Yet, just as Hong Ling was about to falter, a huge Phoenix feather inexplicably appeared in the Spiritual Artifact Space. The feather was covered with numerous runes drawn by Blood Meteor Energy, densely packed, almost forming a beautiful pattern.
"Is this a Phoenix Spirit Feather?"
Hong Ling’s heart shook violently. While enhancing the Immortal Treasure, she also gained additional memories, aside from those four inherited spear techniques and this feather.
Inside this feather were lines left by ancestors, embodying a kind of legacy.
And the feather in front of her was undoubtedly the Phoenix Spirit Feather, possibly containing everything about her.
Moreover, when Hong Ling could not withstand the energy, the Phoenix Spirit Feather emitted a Blood Meteor glow, completely enveloping her, slowly absorbing the energy bit by bit.
Soon after, a powerful intent flowed down, making Hong Ling’s body tremble slightly and her face reveal a surprised expression: "This Phoenix Spirit turned out to be an artifact spirit of an ancient Divine Artifact, shattered from a clash with a Holy Soul Race sacred artifact, eventually becoming a Yellow Grade Lower Grade artifact spirit. Later, through sheer coincidence, an ignorant Artifact Refiner made it into an Immortal Treasure Talisman, and I, by chance, became its inheritor."
It’s undeniable, the whole thing was a series of coincidences.
Hong Ling absorbed the Divine Artifact Spirit’s memories bit by bit; within those memories lay abundant information about the Holy Soul Race and the Three Worlds War, even the memories of the Holy Soul Race annihilating the Godslayer Clan, as this artifact spirit was once the Divine Artifact of the Godslayer Clan’s Clan Leader.
"So that’s how it is; it seems the Holy Soul Race was manipulated all along. Even the Holy Soul Enchantress, the legendary woman known as the Daughter of the Holy Soul, was used by someone. Just who is the mastermind behind all this?"
Before Hong Ling could question it further, the feather crumbled, transforming into gentle energy that seeped into Hong Ling’s body.
Crack!
In that instant, the barrier of the Earth-grade was breached, and Hong Ling’s aura rapidly rose once more.
From a Yellow Grade Lower standard, she reached the Earth-grade Lower standard, leaping over two grades and taking an entire twelve hours, a whole day of waiting, leading some to previously think that Ye Mo must have already failed.
However, Ye Mo had no problems. If the Emperor Phoenix Blood Meteor Spear was truly ruined, Ye Mo would have suffered backlash, but none of that happened, making Qiu Tianyue’s expression sour.
Though he firmly believed that Ye Mo was bound to fail, twelve hours led him to doubt his own thoughts.
"Twelve hours, Ye Mo indeed performed as outstandingly as I imagined. There must have been a reason he didn’t win the new life ranking battle."
Ling Shan looked at Ye Mo, her eyes carrying a hint of infatuation, the gaze of one looking at their beloved.
"Twelve hours doesn’t necessarily mean his spirit feeding succeeded; his artifact spirit might have already shattered, and he hasn’t realized it."
Qiu Tianyue tried to calm his mind, convinced that Ye Mo couldn’t succeed. If after twelve hours of feeding the spirit he succeeded, one can only imagine what level Ye Mo’s Immortal Treasure could reach.
While everyone kept their eyes on the Spiritual Artifact Pool, Ye Mo, standing by the pool, suddenly shuddered, taking several steps back, his complexion pale.
Ling Shan immediately approached with concern, "Ye Mo, are you alright?"
"I’m fine!"
Ye Mo responded, then fixed his gaze firmly on the Spiritual Artifact Pool. He could feel that the Emperor Phoenix Blood Meteor Spear had ascended to an Earth-grade Lower Rank Immortal Treasure.
"Where is your weapon?"
Ling Shan couldn’t help but ask.
"It’s still in the Spiritual Artifact Pool; it’ll come out soon."
Ye Mo said.
"I think it’s failed; don’t waste others’ time. Others still need to feed the spirit."
Qiu Tianyue sneered. Generally, a Spiritual Artifact Pool can only feed one spirit. Ye Mo had already taken twelve hours feeding one, and if he failed, it would mean wasting twelve hours for everyone else.
"Who said I failed?"
As soon as Ye Mo spoke, a crimson glow burst from the Spiritual Artifact Pool, forming a massive vortex, with its center being the Emperor Phoenix Blood Meteor Spear.
"How can this be?"
Everyone could clearly feel the law fluctuations emanating from the Emperor Phoenix Blood Meteor Spear. These fluctuations had transcended the Five Elements Laws, becoming a Yin-Yang Principle, a force only accessible to Immortal Profound Realm experts above the Immortal Class Realm.
Now, leveraging this weapon, Ye Mo’s combat prowess would soar once more.
All were thrown into shock; such fluctuations proved that the Emperor Phoenix Blood Meteor Spear had ascended to Earth-grade Lower Rank.
Moreover, Ye Mo was the only student at the Immortal Martial Academy who managed to raise his Destiny Immortal Treasure to Earth-grade while still at the Immortal Class Realm.
Ye Mo reached out and grabbed the Emperor Phoenix Blood Meteor Spear, feeling the power emanating from it. Instantly, the energy of the Spiritual Artifact Pool was stirred by the spear, with waves of crimson ripples resonating from its form, as if innumerable Blood Meteor Phoenixes were worshipping the Emperor Phoenix Blood Meteor Spear.
Holding the Earth-grade Lower Rank Emperor Phoenix Blood Meteor Spear, Ye Mo’s entire demeanor transformed, and overwhelming power surged forth, making Ye Mo’s pupils quiver and his face reveal an incredulous expression.
"What immense power!"
Ye Mo was shocked. As he grasped the Emperor Phoenix Blood Meteor Spear, an enormous energy surged into his body, causing his accrued power to increase by more than tenfold. It was clear that soon, he would harness this power to break through again, ascending directly to the Second Layer of the Immortal Class.
These are the benefits of a Destiny Immortal Treasure.
"How is this possible?"
Qiu Tianyue stared intently at the Emperor Phoenix Blood Meteor Spear in Ye Mo’s hand, from starting at a Yellow Grade lower level, surpassing his Qiu Tian Demonic Spear, even reaching Earth-grade. Previously, he boasted before Elder Mingjian to teach Ye Mo a lesson, but now he felt utterly humiliated.
