Desolate Era: Hatching a Phoenix at the Beginning

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Looking at Zhurong’s back as it flew towards the mountain peak it chose before, Ye Chen held the golden feather and the Ice Fire Beetle Mystic Realm very emotionally.

He turned his gaze back to the few little brats who didn’t dare to speak when they saw the ancient Divine Beast. He was filled with emotions.

“just don’t understand why you’re hiding from it.” He patted the Immortal Phoenix and Monkey on their heads. “Meeting such a good-tempered powerful beast, you didn’t go to ask it to teach you something and you even retreated. Do the two of you still want to become stronger?”

Ye Chen understood why the Kun Peng, Little Purple, and the Godly Sea Steadying Needle avoided Zhurong. After all, these three were water-type mutated beasts. They would really feel uncomfortable if they were too close. When Zhurong flew in front of them on the sea before, the Kun Peng even

grumbled a few words.

However, he really didn’t understand why the Immortal Phoenix and Monkey were hiding from Zhurong.

The reactions of the two Divine Beasts were too abnormal. Before Zhurong succeeded in reaching the Nirvana state, the two of them were the most arrogant. However, once Zhurong appeared, the two of them got scared.

“Master, didn’t I obtain Senior Zhurong’s skill? Perhaps that’s the reason. I keep feeling like my strength is being suppressed by Senior Zhurong. I can’t help but tremble when I see it.” The Immortal Phoenix mumbled.

“I don’t want to. I feel like it can burn me!” Monkey said and added, “Besides, I feel like you have an aura similar to Zhurong’s as well, but it’s not that terrifying.”

“Ihave Zhurong’s aura on me?” Ye Chen understood. “It’s because I inherited its talent, right? That Divine Power is called the Fire Melting Art. It changed the color of my blood.”

Then, Ye Chen raised his finger that was bitten before and waved it in front of the two Divine Beasts.

Only then did he notice that his wound had basically healed. Only a dark golden mark was left on his finger, like a dried water stain.

“What has my blood turned into?” Ye Chen was a little puzzled. “Thinking about it, I was in a hurry just now. I don’t think I’ve looked at what kind of cultivation art the Fire Melting Art is…”

He opened the data panel and found the information about himself and the Fire Melting Art.

[Fire Melting Art]

[Human -Faced Bird Race’s Innate Mystic Ability: Drawing out the Fire Spiritual Energy in the body, one can melt ordinary Spirit Stones. It was developed and inherited from the battle of Divine Beasts in ancient times, and was used to fight the Giant Kun Peng Race.]

[Hidden prompt message: It can be used to melt other mutated beasts to obtain their Mystical Powers.]

[Hidden prompt message: The Fire Melting Art modified by the Divine Beast, Zhurong, can refine Spiritual Energy of other attributes.]

“It has such an effect. No wonder Monkey is afraid.” He figured out the reason and turned to explain to Monkey.

“You think that Zhurong is terrifying because it uses the Fire Melting Art to refine the Earth Spiritual Energy in its body. You are an earth-type mutated beast, so you will definitely be restrained by him.”

Monkey seemed to understand and it nodded dumbfoundedly.

“The Fire Melting Art is the Divine Power of the Human-Faced Bird Race, right? I’ve seen it before when I advanced.” The Immortal Phoenix interrupted. “I also want that Divine Power. If it can refine my Fire Spiritual Energy, maybe I can advance!”

“Refining Spiritual Energy can also increase your own ability? It’s not written in this system.” Ye Chen was quick-witted. “I might as well try refining my own Spiritual Energy. I wonder what will happen.”

Ye Chen immediately gathered a ball of Spiritual Energy in his hand and tried to activate the Fire Melting Art.

A golden light flashed through and wrapped the entire ball of Spiritual Energy inside. Then, it disappeared without a trace.

Ye Chen waited for a while, but nothing else happened. He then stopped using the Fire Melting Art in doubt and released his Spiritual Energy alone.

“Is there a problem with my Spiritual Energy?” He observed the cold Spiritual Energy in his palm and suddenly realized something.

“Did the Fire Melting Art refine my Water Spiritual Energy?” Ye Chen didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

Thinking about it, the Immortal Phoenix had the pure fire attribute. It could certainly be strengthened by refining with fire. As for Zhurong, its attributes were fire and earth. Refining these two attributes, they could be turned into lava.

However, he currently had a water-type constitution. What had it become after he refined it? Water vapor! No wonder it wasn’t working.

At this moment, the system notification popped up.

[Reminder: Using the Fire Melting Art and Undying Divine Fire, you can refine fire-type Spiritual Energy and obtain a fire-type constitution.]

Ye Chen was delighted.

“[ thought I couldn’t use this cultivation art yet. I didn’t expect it to have the effect of getting a new constitution!”

He sat down on the spot and quickly performed the Undying Divine Fire according to the system notification to start refining the Spiritual Energy.

After refining the Spiritual Energy, Ye Chen finally realized that there was something different about the Undying Divine Fire he inherited and his Spiritual Energy.

When he was driving the Taichi Yin Yang Fish before, he had noticed that although he was the one who had initiated the Undying Divine Fire, it could be absorbed by him as a Yang power, as if these flames were someone else’s.

Now that he had the help of the Fire Melting Art, he could clearly feel that there seemed to be a channel of Spiritual Energy between him and the Immortal Phoenix that could allow him to use a small amount of the Immortal Phoenix’s Spiritual Energy to unleash the Undying Divine Fire.

[Reminder: Body Transformation is in progress. Please wait patiently.]

And now, as the system notification appeared, that channel was constantly supplying him with Spiritual Energy. The flames in his palm were also constantly transforming, turning into a force that sank into his dantian. Ye Chen felt a burning sensation spread through all the meridians in his body. It was

only after a while that it quieted down.

Ye Chen opened the data panel and saw that there was an additional “Fire Type” on the constitution column. He lit the Undying Divine Fire again and indeed, he realized that the effect of this Divine Power had increased.

“After it transformed, it seemed to have become my strength.” Ye Chen looked at the Divine Fire in his hand. Its aura was much stronger than before. “After obtaining the Fire-Type Constitution, although my Undying Divine Fire still can’t compare to that of the Sun God Envoy, it is already much stronger

than before.”

Ye Chen was very happy that his ability was enhanced. He clenched his fists and looked at the small box in his hand.

“The remaining 14, cultivation art tablets probably have Mystic Realms hidden in them. We might be at a disadvantage if we rashly come into contact with them. The Ice Fire Beetle Mystic Realm has already been opened. Everyone, follow me and take all the treasures here first. Then, we’ll go and take a

look at the cultivation art Zhurong gave us.”

After saying that, he placed the small box on the ground and reached his hand towards the uppermost part. He immediately felt a cold wind blow at him.

Opening his eyes, he saw the familiar third level of the Ice Fire Beetle Mystic Realm. What was different from before was that the ground in front of him had already completely shattered. A small attack could probably collapse it.

The few mutated beasts also followed him and landed on the ground in front of him..
