Chapter 793: The Sigil Crisis

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

An Lin was able to absorb all the information gleaned by his clone.

As such, the information that An Lin Number Two gleaned from unleashing the Divine Inspection Technique naturally also flowed into his mind.

[Dao intent sigil of the mythological beast, the Mutant Blood Phoenix: The sigil was formed from the remnant dao intent of the fallen Mutant Blood Phoenix after its failed attempt at rebirth from its ashes. Not only does it contain extremely potent power of the phoenix, but it also contains the signature technique of the Mutant Blood Phoenix, Destruction of Sun and Stars!]

“This thing is a mythological beast? And it’s a Mutant Blood Phoenix that failed in its rebirth?” An Lin exclaimed in shock.

Xu Xiaolan’s brows perked up slightly. “Such an unfamiliar aura belongs to a phoenix?”

An Lin stroked its chin. “Could it be that its aura is unfamiliar because it’s a mutant? After all, this guy even failed in its rebirth! What a disgrace to the phoenix race!”

Xu Xiaolan rolled her eyes at An Lin. “Failure is commonplace. Creatures like Little Huang that transformed into your golden egg are the true minorities!”

“What type of sigil is this, by the way?” Xu Xiaolan asked.

A smile appeared on An Lin’s face upon hearing this. “We’re in luck! This is a vessel for the phoenix’s power as well as one of its techniques!”

Just as the two of them were talking, the light emanating from the sigil suddenly became restless as it became particularly dazzling.

An Lin Number Two, who was in contact with the sigil, suddenly discovered a crimson light flow into his hand before wreaking havoc throughout his entire body.

“Ah!” An Lin Number Two wailed in anguish, and his body instantly exploded into a splash of water.

An Lin and Xu Xiaolan’s expressions shifted drastically upon seeing this while Ao Niu immediately fled into the distance.

A crisp, phoenix cry erupted from the sigil.

Immediately afterward, the sigil transformed into a crimson, flaming phoenix that pierced through the air toward Xu Xiaolan!

“Has it approved of you?” An Lin was ecstatic upon seeing this.

Forcing a sigil of this level into giving its approval was extremely difficult. However, if a certain connection could make it voluntarily extend its approval, then it would make absorbing the power within the sigil an extremely simple task.

However, Xu Xiaolan’s expression suddenly became extremely grim. “No! This power is too strong! My body won’t be able to handle it!”

The crimson phoenix was like a fiery shooting star that incinerated everything in its wake as the space around it twisted and warped, as if it were going to collapse at any time.

Xu Xiaolan hurtled back as fast as she could to evade it, but the crimson phoenix was like a Xiaolan-seeking missile that refused to let her escape.

An Lin immediately flared up in rage. How dare this phoenix try to force itself onto Xiaolan without consent?

He spread open his Wings of Wind and positioned himself in front of Xiaolan before pulling out his indestructible Chaotic Alloy Brick.

Boom!

The crimson phoenix crashed into the black brick and transformed into a shapeless state, which allowed it to flow past the black brick, around An Lin, and carried on toward Xu Xiaolan again!

The crimson phoenix was faster than Xu Xiaolan, so she was unable to escape. She launched a few spell techniques toward the crimson phoenix, but all of them were instantly engulfed and incinerated.

“Xiaolan!” An Lin roared in a panicked voice.

Boom!

The crimson phoenix crashed into Xu Xiaolan’s body, and the dao intent of the phoenix instantly engulfed her. She let loose a pained cry before plummeting feebly from the sky. Her body trembled uncontrollably as a crimson phoenix insignia appeared on the back of her hand.

An Lin flew toward Xu Xiaolan like a madman before enveloping her in a tight hug, only to find that it was as if he were hugging a scorching piece of burning coal.

“Xiaolan… Xiaolan, are you alright?!”

Xu Xiaolan’s eyes were screwed shut from pain, and she muttered with great difficulty, “Get away from me! I can sense that my body won’t be able to hold on for much longer. The power of the phoenix is going to erupt anytime now… I’m begging you, please get away from me…”

An Lin’s body shuddered upon hearing this. There was no way he could leave in a situation like this!

What can I do…

The sigil was too powerful. If nothing was done, Xu Xiaolan would self-detonate!

An Lin looked around frantically before his eyes lit up upon catching sight of the red insignia glowing on the back of Xiaolan’s hand.

The insignia was the source of the sigil’s power, so he should be able to evict the power of the sigil by destroying that insignia…

There was no time to waste!

An Lin pressed a finger against the crimson phoenix insignia, and a destructive power burst forth from his fingertip.

Boom!

The insignia on the back of Xu Xiaolan’s hand glowed with a scintillating light as it launched a resistance, instantly vanquishing the power from An Lin’s fingertip with a fearsome power of its own.

A light flashed past An Lin’s eyes, and he unleashed the Origin Energy of the Netherworld without hesitation, upon which his aura soared explosively!

Boom!

Golden light burst forth from An Lin’s fingertip, which clashed with the crimson light glowing from the phoenix insignia, creating a temporary impasse.Read more chapter on NovelFull

Xu Xiaolan let loose an agonized moan as blood flowed from the corners of her lips. She could sense that her body was on the verge of falling apart.

She forced herself to open her eyes, even though it seemed like a titanic task in her current state. She stared intently at the man before her, as if she was trying to permanently commit his face to memory.

An Lin’s heart was surging with panic, but he still offered words of consolation to Xu Xiaolan as he maintained the power output from his fingertip.

The power of the phoenix was still wreaking havoc as it resisted against An Lin’s power.

Right at this moment, within An Lin’s sea of vital energy…

The white vermilion bird seemed to have sensed something, and it looked up into the sky before letting loose a clear cry.

Heaven and earth suddenly fell silent.

Boundless, white flames imbued with unstoppable holy might suddenly burst forth from An Lin’s fingertip. It was like the monarch of all flames, and it forced the power of the phoenix into submission and temporarily sealed away the insignia’s power!

However, this only lasted for a single instant.

The power of the Mutant Blood Phoenix suddenly became violent again as it poured toward An Lin’s fingertip, just as it had once pounced on Xu Xiaolan.

The power of the crimson phoenix began to transfer!

Everything happened far too abruptly, and even An Lin himself was dumbstruck for a second.

Immediately afterward, devastating flame power began to crash through his body.

At the same time, a stream of information entered his mind. This was information that was imbued with a paramount dao intent. It was the inheritance of the Mutant Blood Phoenix’s signature technique, Destruction of Sun and Stars!

The power of the crimson phoenix also began to flow into his sea of vital energy, and a series of crimson lines, which appeared as if they were blood vessels, appeared on the white vermilion bird’s body. The crimson lines surfaced temporarily before fading. As a result, the vermilion bird’s body grew more substantial while a higher level of intelligence glowed in its eyes.

“An Lin, are you alright?

“Re… release me!”

Xu Xiaolan wanted to force An Lin’s finger away from the insignia on the back of her hand, but An Lin clamped her hand down firmly onto the ground with his other hand. In her current, debilitated state, there was no way for her to struggle free.

The crimson insignia on the back of her hand slowly began to vanish, and Xu Xiaolan’s breathing became a lot more relaxed and even as a result.

However, another crimson insignia began to materialize itself on the back of An Lin’s hand.

The power of the phoenix within his body also grew more and more terrifyingly powerful, as if it were trying to incinerate his entire body.

The sigil left behind by a Dao Integration Stage mythological beast was simply far too overwhelmingly powerful, and even with his body of the War God, he might not be able to endure it.

However, An Lin did not regret anything. He calmly allowed the power of the phoenix to flow into his body without offering up any resistance. Regardless of whether his body could endure it, he was willing to bear the suffering in Xu Xiaolan’s stead.

Time slowly passed by.

The crimson insignia on the back of Xu Xiaolan’s hand suddenly stopped vanishing.

At the same time, the crimson insignia on the back of An Lin’s hand stopped growing.

Both of them panted heavily as they looked at each other’s hands with baffled expressions.

Both of them had one half of the crimson phoenix insignia on the back of their hands, which could be combined together to form a complete phoenix…
