“Dragon Phoenix Bloodline Power?” Hearing Xiao Xuan’s surprised voice, Xuner was also slightly taken aback and then asked in confusion, “What is that?”
The Dragon Phoenix had not appeared many times in the history of Dou Qi Continent. Therefore, even though Xuner was from the Ancient Clan, she felt extremely unfamiliar with this title.
Xiao Xuan also looked at Xiao Yan in the blood pool with a look of surprise. He too could hardly imagine that such a thing was hidden in Xiao Yan’s body. After all, the mystical existence of the Dragon Phoenix, even he had never seen it with his own eyes.
“The Dragon Phoenix, a mysterious creature with the bloodlines of the Void Ancient Dragon and the Primordial Heavenly Phoenix, is the true supreme in the realm of Magical Beasts, but its appearances are few and far between. Even I have never seen it with my own eyes,” Xiao Xuan said slowly.
“A mysterious creature with the bloodlines of the Void Ancient Dragon and the Primordial Heavenly Phoenix?” Xuner’s eyebrows knitted slightly. She knew that Zi Yan’s true form was the Void Ancient Dragon, but she had never heard that Xiao Yan had any interaction with the seemingly extinct Primordial Heavenly Phoenix.
“I don’t know where he got the Dragon Phoenix Bloodline Power from…” Xiao Xuan also looked somewhat helpless, saying, “From the current situation, it seems that the blood cleansing earlier did not remove the so-called Dragon Phoenix Bloodline Power. With more and more Xiao Clan Bloodline Power surging into Xiao Yan’s body, the pressured Dragon Phoenix Bloodline Power is now bursting out…”
“Will that affect Brother Xiao Yan?” Xuner asked, frowning.
“If we can’t eliminate the resistance of the Dragon Phoenix Bloodline Power, then the Xiao Clan’s Bloodline Power won’t be able to fuse with Xiao Yan’s body. If we forcibly collide, it will only result in severe injuries to Xiao Yan.” Xiao Xuan also frowned, looking rather troubled. This Dragon Phoenix Bloodline Power was extremely powerful, capable of rivaling the true Dou Emperor Bloodline. Although the amount of this Bloodline Power in Xiao Yan’s body wasn’t large, it couldn’t be underestimated.
“What should we do?” Xuner asked, somewhat worried.
Xiao Xuan pondered for a moment and then turned his gaze to Xuner, saying, “Little girl, would you be willing to help me or, say, Xiao Yan?”
“If there’s anything needed, Elder Xiao Xuan, please go ahead and say it.” Xuner’s eyes flickered, and without much hesitation, she replied.
“I need some Ancient Clan Bloodline Power!” Xiao Xuan stared intently at Xuner, and there was even a hint of fanaticism in his eyes as he continued, “I know the two bloodlines are difficult to fuse. I tested it myself back then, and because of that, I know why it failed—the two equally powerful bloodlines are very difficult to harmonize. But now, it’s different. The power of the Dragon Phoenix Bloodline is on par with the Dou Emperor Bloodline. Using it as a harmonizing agent might fully integrate the Ancient Clan’s and the Xiao Clan’s Bloodline Power and also solve some of the problems brought by the Dragon Phoenix Bloodline…”
“Fusing bloodline powers…” Hearing Xiao Xuan’s words, even Xuner, with her usual composure, couldn’t help but change her expression slightly. Bloodline Power was usually the highest-level secret of their race, not to be given to outsiders. And since both were Dou Emperor Bloodlines, they were fundamentally in opposition, making fusion impossible. Forcibly fusing them would have severe consequences.
“I know this idea is crazy. I had this plan long ago, for I believed that while the Dou Emperor Bloodline gives the descendants extraordinary talents, something must be lost or defective in the transmission. That’s why, after some time, the number of true Dou Emperors in these ancient clans became rarer and harder to achieve…”
Xiao Xuan spoke, seemingly knowing what Xuner was thinking, and shook his head.
“I tried it before, but it failed. Since then, I haven’t mentioned it again, but now… maybe it’s a chance.” Looking at Xiao Xuan’s aged face and then at Xiao Yan’s closed eyes in the blood pool, Xuner hesitated for a while before finally sighing and saying, “Elder Xiao Xuan, are you really sure about this?”
“Eighty percent sure.” Xiao Xuan said gravely.
Hearing this, Xuner hesitated again, bit her silver teeth, and nodded, saying, “In that case, I’ll follow your lead, Elder Xiao Xuan!”
“On behalf of Xiao Yan and the entire Xiao Clan, I thank you in advance.” Xiao Xuan bowed to Xuner with a serious face.
Xuner could only smile bitterly. If it weren’t for Xiao Yan, she would never agree to such a crazy request. She understood that Xiao Yan had many extremely powerful opponents and if he wanted to stand out as a victor in these contests, he needed formidable strength. If the so-called bloodline fusion succeeded, it would undoubtedly pave many paths for him.
Taking a deep breath, Xuner’s jade hands quickly formed several strange seals, and then her fingertips gently drew across her fair wrist. A blood mark appeared, and drops of blood began to slowly drip from her palm, falling into the blood pool.
As the drops of blood fell into the blood pool, the ripples in the pool gradually subsided, creating a half-meter-wide empty space. In that area, the blood from Xuner’s hand gathered and formed a blood ball about the size of half a fist, floating in the blood pool…
“Elder Xiao Xuan, this is most of the bloodline power I can extract. If I extract more, it will affect my own bloodline level. If the clan discovers it, they will think of Brother Xiao Yan, and he will be in extreme danger.”
When a drop of blood fell from her jade finger, Xuner quickly wiped her wrist, stopping the blood flow. Raising her slightly pale face, she said softly to Xiao Xuan.
“It’s enough. Thank you.” Xiao Xuan bowed to Xuner once more. As a former Xiao Clan leader, he understood the immense risk Xuner was taking. Though the bloodline power seemed small, it would take Xuner at least two years to replenish, showing how deep her commitment was.
Xuner shook her head slightly, her beautiful eyes gazing at Xiao Yan in the blood pool, a tender smile on her lips, but she didn’t speak.
“Rest well; I’ll handle the rest. Rest assured, you’ll get a more complete Brother Xiao Yan than when he came here…” Xiao Xuan stroked his white beard, smiling, and then turned his gaze to the blood pool. His hands formed intricate seals, and he shouted, “Condense!”
As Xiao Xuan shouted, the blood pool began to spin rapidly, whistling loudly, but no water splashed out. Xiao Yan, at the center of the vortex, remained motionless like a stone statue.
As the spinning intensified, the purple-gold light from Xiao Yan’s body dimmed, clearly under suppression…
“With a hiss!” As the purple-gold light dimmed, a blood ball, about the size of half a fist, suddenly shot out of the spinning pool, breaking through the purple-gold light and slamming heavily onto Xiao Yan’s chest. At the moment of impact, the blood ball rapidly merged into his body.
As the blood ball merged into Xiao Yan’s chest, his body violently shuddered. Tiny blood arrows shot out from his skin, turning him red like a blood-soaked man.
Seeing Xiao Yan’s transformation, Xuner’s face paled. But Xiao Xuan took a deep breath and changed his hand seals. The spinning pool created a stream of blood, continuously striking Xiao Yan’s body. Each time, the blood oddly invaded his body…
With more and more blood streams forcefully flooding in, the two different bloodline powers in Xiao Yan’s body began to fight each other fiercely, as if one wouldn’t stop until it destroyed the other.
“Roar!” As the two Dou Emperor bloodline powers fought, the hidden Dragon Phoenix Bloodline Power in Xiao Yan’s body surged forth, eliciting a faint but powerful roar of the dragon and phoenix.
The third Dragon Phoenix Bloodline Power, acting as a neutral third party, rushed into the warring Dou Emperor bloodlines. Under Xiao Xuan’s perfect control, the once-incompatible clash gradually weakened…
The three bloodline powers, controlled by Xiao Xuan, formed a tri-colored blood circle. As the circle rotated, the three bloodlines started to merge…
This process was extremely slow, lasting almost a month. When the month was over, the circle’s rotation stopped, and a strange purplish-red blood slowly flowed out…
This blood was a new, unique bloodline power, a fusion of the two Dou Emperor bloodlines and the Dragon Phoenix Bloodline!
