Sun-Swallowing Nether Bird Tribe
🕑 Added 2023-07-14 09:10:30 +0000 UTC--- Chapter 127 ---
Xue Rongrong had never imagined this day to come.
The day her tribe recovered their long lost glory and blessing from heaven.
Even though Dawnbreak Mystic Art was "thoroughly." created just a few moments ago, Xue Rongrong could sense deep, profound truth by reading its chants alone.
Xue Rongrong couldn't help but cry in happiness every time she cultivated this Dou Qi Method. Her cultivation base got reduced to the entrance of the Low-Stage Half-Saint Realm, but that doesn't mean she was weaker than before.
Dawnbreak Mystic Art is Dou Qi Method tailor-made for Sun-Swallowing Nether Bird, initiating Wood and Fire Elements to create Nether Dou Qi.
This Nether Dou Qi isn't just a combination of Wood and Fire Elements, as it produced a Darkness Element impulse. A rare kind of Dou Qi, which usually only appeared in rare talent, but now everyone from the Sun-Swallowing Nether Bird Tribe could wield it.
Xue Rongrong's Dou Qi burned alongside her cultivation, making it purer and more malleable. The key to Baek Ain's Cultivation Method is to make the cultivator's Dou Qi strong enough to support anything.
After all, It's not just energy but a substance and part of the cultivator's body.
Thanks to Fan Gu's desperate research on human gene evolution, Baek Ain embarked on a new path. It was a tiresome and dangerous path without an ounce of morality, but he was willing to take it.
Of course, Dawnbreak Mystic Art wasn't perfect. That's wishful thinking, and Baek Ain knew it.
There is no such thing as perfect in this world, flaws appeared one after another when Xue Rongrong cultivated Dawnbreak Mystic Art, and Baek Ain fixed those flaws quickly by modifying some breathing and energy circulation sequences.
Three days passed quickly, and Xue Rongrong was fighting some Rank 8 Magical Beasts equal to a group of 7-Star Dou Venerate.
These Magical Beasts aren't Xue Rongrong's opponents, but they are good enough to test Dawnbreak Mystic Art.
Xue Rongrong faced ten wolves.
These magical beasts are massive and covered with thinly woven blue furs, releasing whistling winds when moved quickly. Their limbs are as big as Baek Ain, having elongated sharp claws at the ends. Their teeth are also razor sharp and have this vicious liquid.
According to Xue Rongrong's words, these wolves are called Desolate Wind Wolf and are the ruler of this area.
"Grrr... Nether Bird, why are you attacking us?" One wolf uttered as its teeth clattered in anger. "Our Tribe doesn't have an enmity with each other."
A high-ranked Magical Beast does possess intelligence, so Baek Ain wasn't surprised when hearing the wolf talk.
Xue Rongrong giggled and returned casually, "This is just a spar? Why are you being wishy-washy about it."
Xue Rongrong's slender, fair arms became charred like a lump of coal and released smoky ashes. She clasped her hand and caused the smoke to create sparks, igniting a shadowy purple flame.
The current state of Xue Rongrong is the first two-stage of Dawnbreak Mystic Art, Charred Tree, and Sizzling Ashes. None of these stages possessed the offensive capability, but they allowed Xue Rongrong to produce Nether Dou Qi and Nether Flame.
As Xue Rongrong advanced forward to wolf packs, the shadowy purple flame burned in her palm and launched like a cannonball. A cry of a Nether Bird echoed in the area, sweeping everything within one hundred meters.
BOOM!
The Wolves howled in pain, hissing at their burn injuries.
"Y-You, You're the Venerable Sky Bird!" One of the wolves uttered in surprise.
Xue Rongrong smiled and replied while shrugging, "What's the use of knowing my identity?"
It was fortunate for these wolves to survive Xue Rongrong's Burning Nether Flame. After all, Xue Rongrong has yet to master Dawnbreak Mystic Art and reached the mastery level of Baek Ain.
That explosion earlier is still uncontrollable.
Baek Ain wrote some notes and commented telepathically toward Xue Rongrong, "Try the 4th Stage."
"Don't you have shame for attacking Juniors?!" The wolves screamed at the top of their lungs.
Xue Rongrong tilted her head.
Her following statement shocked them.
"Shame? What's that?"
"Anyway, Raging Nether Flame!"
Shame for attacking juniors? What rubbish, strength is everything on Dou Qi Continent.
The shadowy purple flame in Xue Rongrong's hand was "rapidly." combusted and released fireworks-like effects. It spun and lashed out, wiping the wolves in destructive heat.
A large tornado created by the ten wolves manifested, but is it enough to defend themselves?
The answer is no.
Swoosh! BOOOOOM!
"Argh!"
"You Bitch-!"
"Our Alpha wouldn't let you go-!"
They roared madly but soon fainted on the ground. Their furs have long gone and are replaced with roasted fleshes. Still, they are alive.
A combination of ten Desolate Wind Wolves should be sufficient to defend against Xue Rongrong's attack. However, they forgot that wind fed upon fire to make it bigger and stronger.
Even if Xue Rongrong is barely serious, her cultivation base is still that of a low-stage Half-Saint Realm. She's A Rank 9 Magical Beast, so this pack of wolves is a mere clown to her.
"Should I kill them?" Xue Rongrong asked Baek Ain, thinking about the final stage of Dawnbreak Mystic Art. She was "actually." exhilarated at the thought of using a divine technique made by Baek Ain.
Believe it or not, Xue Rongrong has become Baek Ain's fanatic.
"No, bring them here." Baek Ain answered while finishing his note. After three days of testing, Baek Ain concluded Dawnbreak Mystic Art passed the requirement stage to become a Cultivation Technique.
It is just a matter of spreading this Cultivation Technique to the Sun-Swallowing Nether Bird Tribe next.
...
...
Baek Ain slurped a bowl of noodles while waiting for Xue Rongrong's arrival. He looked at Lan Rou, sharpening her daggers and some hidden weapons.
And then he glanced at Cai Lin, who played with some Rank 6 magical beasts. Just looking at innocent-looking beauty bashing gigantic beasts left and right is a miraculous sight. Her tiny stature compared to the beast makes it even more ridiculous.
A Wormhole appeared, and Xue Rongrong stepped out with piles of burnt wolves on her shoulder. The wolf itself is ten times larger than her human form.
Throwing the burnt wolves, Xue Rongrong brushed some dust and ashes from her clothes. She sat beside Baek Ain and picked up a bowl, her portion of noodles.
"How was it? Do you feel uncomfortable?" Baek Ain asked, putting down his bowl.
Xue Rongrong smiled and answered, "It feels better than before, Lord Ain."
"The Charred Tree and Sizzling Ashes are synchronized with my breathing."
"The Burning Nether Flame and Raging Nether Flame no longer bother my Energy Circulation."
Baek Ain nodded, "That's good enough."
"We are testing Dawnbreak Mystic Art enough. Let's go to your tribe."
"Mm!" Xue Rongrong was excited.
After planting some parasites inside the Desolate Wind Wolves and instructing them to spy on other beast tribes, Baek Ain's group assumed their journey and arrived at the Sun-Swallowing Moon Island two days later.
Upon sensing Baek Ain's Golden Crow Flame, everyone on the island immediately kneeled before him. It was a splendid scene for Baek Ain.
[This is normal] Alicia commented casually.
[You're no different than Dou God in their eyes]
A wry smile plastered over Baek Ain's face as Xue Rongrong escorted him to meet the Tribe's Patriarch and Elders. The status of Xue Rongrong in the tribe is Sun-Swallowing Nether Bird's First Elder. Her position is third only to the Patriarch and Grand Elder.
"We welcome the Great Sun's Incarnate to our humble abode." The Patriarch and elders bowed respectfully toward Baek Ain.
Baek Ain waved his hand reassuringly and said, "Get up. There is no need for this rigid formality."
"You may call me Lord Ain or My Lord like Elder Rongrong from now on."
Everyone couldn't help but envy Xue Rongrong when Baek Ain mentioned her name with such intimacy. Even though male elders can't become closer to Baek Ain to such a level, their daughters and granddaughters can.
They might even willingly give Baek Ain their wives. Small sacrifices for the tribe's glory revival.
If Baek Ain knew what they were thinking, he'd have slapped them for being shameless. He's not that kind of guy, after all.
"Anyway, Elder Rongrong. Show them the Dawnbreak Mystic Art." Baek Ain said while taking a nearby seat.
Xue Rongrong nodded and stood on a podium, making the Patriarch and elders stare at her. They have noticed her cultivation base has declined and frowned.
Yet a second later, they were astonished, like someone had shoved a watermelon into their mouths.
Xue Rongrong's Dawnbreak Mystic Art released an intense shadowy purple flame, rendering them speechless.
Baek Ain laughed, "What do you think about my Small Gift?"
