Chapter 854: Chapter 740: The Art of Avoiding Calamity_4

In the end, the first streak of thunder failed to breach Xiao Qing’s Demon Qi defense.

Crack!

Then came the second, the third...

Xiao Qing continued to fend off each strike using human form to deploy various Monster Clan spells.

In the blink of an eye, six tribulations had been thundered past!

When the seventh bolt of Heavenly Thunder descended, a golden spherical lightning bolt crashed down, enveloping countless runes.

Xiao Qing let out a long howl, transforming into a Green Fire Luan and bravely met the thunder head-on.

Crackle!

Countless golden arcs struck her Monster Bird body, leaving a layer of char.

But almost instantly, a layer of Azure Luan True Fire emerged, wrapping around Xiao Qing’s entire body.

The char quickly receded, revealing even more radiant and beautiful feathers.

Even Xiao Qing’s form underwent some changes, from a Green Fire Luan, she transformed into a true ’Azure Luan’!

"Azure Luan True Fire, it even has healing effects... Is Xiao Qing directly using the Heavenly Thunder to temper her body and stimulate her own bloodline, transforming into a real Azure Luan bird?"

Fang Xi instantly realized, upon witnessing this, that Xiao Qing had reaped immense benefits from the inheritance of a seventh-tier Azure Luan.

Boom!

Boom!

The Major Heavenly Tribulation fell in a continuous chain, but in the end, Xiao Qing managed to open her beak and directly spit out a blue Demon Pill, allowing the Demon Pill to be tempered under the thunder as well.

Peep!

Suddenly, a long cry of the Azure Luan tore through the thunderclouds, sweeping away all the essence of the thunder.

Blue light flashed.

A majestic Azure Luan landed in front of Fang Xi, and in another flash turned back into human form, taking the appearance of the grown-up Xiao Qing, with blue eyeshadow at the corners of her eyes, and every smile and frown brimming with endless charm.

"Master, Xiao Qing has succeeded!"

Xiao Qing grinned as she clutched Fang Xi’s arm.

"Good... It seems you truly gained quite a bit of good stuff from the Azure Luan inheritance," Fang Xi said, nodding with a smile.

"Yes, by leveraging the blood of a seventh-tier Azure Luan, I successfully executed Secret Skills to reverse the bloodline... Now, I’m considered to have quite a noble foundation within the Heavenly Phoenix Clan... Not to mention my mastery over the Void, I dare say that at the Middle Stage of Integration, I have the confidence to become one of the seven saints!"

Xiao Qing was naturally gifted. Initially, a Heavenly Phoenix in the early stage of Integration took a liking to her talent, hoping it would allow the Heavenly Phoenix Clan to produce another great saint aside from the Primeval Great Saint.

Now that her bloodline had been upgraded and her aptitude enhanced, even a True Spirit Phoenix might take an interest upon seeing her.

Being empathetic, she now imprinted a blue jade slip with a smile and handed it to Fang Xi: "Master, the inheritance I’ve received is all here..."

"Good," Fang Xi praised, scanning it with Divine Thought.

Although many Secret Skills of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan were tailored for their race, there were some which, with modification, could potentially be attempted by Fang Xi himself after deploying the Triphasic Destroying Origin Skill.

"Hm?"

Suddenly, Fang Xi was startled to see the last Secret Skill: "Phoenix Essence Nirvana Skills? Such Secret Skills exist in the world?"

Correct. The conditions to execute this skill are severe, it even requires the comprehension of Nirvana Divine Skills... It’s an evasion technique."

Xiao Qing nodded: "I’ve learned from the inheritance of that seventh-tier Heavenly Phoenix that this particular skill is meant for Heavenly Phoenixes who fail to break through to the Mahayana Realm or overcome the Heart Demon Tribulation but have no hope of surviving the Immortal Thunder Calamity... Once used, it can immediately dispel the Immortal Thunder Calamity, or rather... delay the Immortal Thunder Calamity! Thus, gaining a brief period of Mahayana Power..."

"Like the Jia Dan or Dharmic Body Nascent Soul? But more severe and short-lived, akin to a moment of brilliance..."

As if coming to a realization, Fang Xi immediately asked, "How long can this technique delay the Immortal Thunder Calamity at most?"

After pondering momentarily, Xiao Qing replied with uncertainty, "Nine is the ultimate number; if the Phoenix Essence Nirvana Skills are used... they could delay the Immortal Thunder Calamity for up to eighty-one years at most, but after eighty-one years, the Heavenly Thunder intensity would double, unceasing until death! Master, what are you thinking?"

"No wonder I felt... the Monster Clan’s attack seemed somewhat hasty."

Fang Xi stroked his chin: "Recently, the word from the direction of Heaven Extinction City is that a confrontation with the Mahayana Period is imminent... If it’s really so, the human race is at a great disadvantage..."
