The Dragon Phoenix is the most powerful magical beast in this world, truly the supreme magical beast. Moreover, it is renowned for the strength of its physical body, and the Dragon Phoenix Ancient Armor, as a defensive Dou Technique passed down through the Dragon Phoenix bloodline, is naturally one of the foremost defensive skills in the Dou Qi Plane.
But even with the Dou Technique's augmentation, scales as hard as city walls appeared incredibly fragile before the terrifying platinum lightning.
It could withstand one or two lightning bolts, but not dozens striking simultaneously.
The violet-gold scales were shattered, and dragon blood flowed like a waterfall. Amon was left with only one last defense—his own flesh and blood!
Large swathes of falling lightning blasted him, leaving him bloody and charred, with a burnt aroma permeating the air.
However, the lightning was nearing its end, and Amon survived this lightning tribulation.
The rules of heaven and earth began to operate. After the lightning tribulation, there was a rich force of creation, which was the power of the origin of heaven and earth, capable of bringing about a transformative change in a person.
Amon guided a small portion of this creative force and gave it to Xiao Xiao. Although it was only a small portion, for Xiao Xiao, it was far more than the creative force obtained from a normal corresponding Three-Star Dou Saint lightning tribulation.
A peculiar power brewed within the body of the Nine Ancient Heavenly Serpents, and a violet-gold light tore through its serpentine form.
The charred body was dispersed by a force, turning into a pile of ashes that drifted away with the wind across the world.
The light began to extend, reaching a length of three thousand zhang.
As the radiance gradually dimmed, the true form of Xiao Xiao within was revealed. Her slender body was graceful and magnificent, her violet-gold scales adding a touch of nobility, and a pair of Celestial Phoenix wings spread, adding a hint of mystery to her imposing presence.
Dragon Phoenix!
She evolved into a Dragon Phoenix!
Queen Medusa's evolution was originally a random acquisition of an ancient bloodline, depending on the snake soul she fused with. Whatever bloodlines were in her ancestors, she had the possibility of acquiring them.
Xiao Xiao should have become a true Ancient Celestial Serpent, but due to Amon's involvement, she was tainted with Dragon Phoenix blood and deeply Parasitized, almost becoming one with Amon. She was more greatly influenced by the Dragon Phoenix, and thus she transformed into a Dragon Phoenix.
Xiao Xiao felt the immense power within her body after her rebirth, and she was overjoyed.
Her original transformation into a Nine Ancient Heavenly Serpents was through a secret method, not her true Ancient Celestial Serpent self. But at this moment, the power brought by the Dragon Phoenix body surpassed her state when she used the secret method to become a Nine Ancient Heavenly Serpents!
Xiao Xiao joyfully swam before her three younger sisters, showing off her body, which filled the three with envy.
"So beautiful…" Xiao Huo said with a hint of longing.
"I wanted to evolve too…" Xiao Yi said sourly.
Amon opened his mouth and temporarily stored the creative force in the space constructed within his own body.
He hunted the Bodhi Ancient Tree and, after devouring it, gained a large amount of life force. Supported by this vast life force, his injuries rapidly recovered.
The creative force was dissipating. Even though he sealed the space, he could only slow down the rate of dissipation, not completely stop it. Therefore, his actions had to be swift.
After his condition had mostly returned to normal, he opened his mouth and said, "Next!"
"Me, me!" Xiao Yi raised her hand.
"Me, me, me…" Xiao Yan hopped and skipped as she spoke.
"Don't fight me, I'm next!" Xiao Huo pushed the other two back.
They were willing to step forward when danger arose, but also eager to seize benefits.
The three immediately began to wrestle.
Amon turned his head and directly named, "Xiao Huo, come here."
"Oh yeah, Daddy loves me!" Xiao Huo triumphantly split her index and middle fingers, making a scissor gesture, and excitedly flew over.
"Hmph… what's there to be proud of?" Xiao Yan pouted.
The process was largely similar to Xiao Xiao's evolution. Xiao Huo transformed into a Dragon Phoenix slightly smaller than Xiao Xiao, and Amon once again gained a portion of creative force.
When the remaining Xiao Yan and Xiao Yi each completed their evolution, Amon had also accumulated enough creative force for his own use, initiating his true evolution.
The entire world became dim and hazy. Unlike the darkness previously obscured by dense thunderclouds, this was a scene devoid of light and sound, where time and space blurred.
The four Dragon Phoenixes huddled together, trembling like frightened deer. They heard mad, low, continuous whispers.
The sound was initially very faint and indistinct, but it rapidly grew louder with time, transforming into a terrifying roar.
They felt as if their souls were about to be assimilated by it, and every drop of blood and every piece of flesh on their bodies seemed to want to grow their own consciousness.
Amon's avatar, who was with them, waved his hand, and spirit power surged out, isolating them from this influence.
"What is this?" Xiao Xiao asked with a slight tremor in her voice.
"It's merely a return to my true self, just as you all transformed into Dragon Phoenixes after initiating evolution. I, too, will naturally change form… Whether I become a dragon or a worm depends on this moment."
The essence of Medusa's evolution was the bloodline returning to ancient times. Amon would also return to the "past"!
Returning to his true race, the "Worm of Spirit"!
Brilliant starlight burst forth from the colossal Dragon Phoenix body. The starlight became smaller and more condensed, then suddenly dispersed, transforming into a pile of translucent small worms with twelve rings.
These worms swam through the world, finally coalescing into a single entity.
Besides his bloodline returning to its most primitive state, Amon also used this opportunity to completely fuse the Bodhi Ancient Tree and convert the Dragon Phoenix physique into power.
The Bodhi Ancient Tree was once on the same level as a Dou Emperor, but it degenerated due to changes in heaven and earth. A fully grown Dragon Phoenix's physical strength could also rival a Dou Emperor, but it was also limited by heaven and earth.
The combined effect of these two, along with the creative force, granted Amon a Dou Emperor physique!
However, due to the lack of "origin energy" baptism, this Dou Emperor physique was not perfect; it was a remnant body. Perhaps calling it a Dou Emperor Remnant Body would be more appropriate.
All the strange phenomena gradually receded. Amon stood in the sky, treading on void, his body flickering erratically, space constantly shattering, and fragments scattering like pieces of a prism.
Surging power flowed within his body. He felt stronger than ever before. The Worm of Spirit, whose body should have been weak, now found its physical body to be its strong suit, even surpassing his previous Dragon Phoenix state.
Of course, the most important thing was that he finally completely got rid of the side effects of forcibly raising his realm through abnormal means, and all the innate abilities of the Worm of Spirit had returned!
He raised his right hand, using his index finger and thumb to pinch the upper and lower edges of his monocle respectively, a smile playing on his lips:
"Hmm, in my current state, even if I directly swallowed the Emperor Grade Young Pill, I wouldn't nearly explode from its energy like Hun Tiandi did, right…?"
Amon was quite confident that after eating the Emperor Grade Young Pill, he could enter the Dou Emperor realm, because he truly had no more room for advancement, lacking only a trace of origin energy!
Although Gu Yuan, Hun Tiandi, and Candle Dragon had thousands of years to improve themselves, their bodies were ultimately a step behind, unable to reach Amon's current realm.
"Daddy!"
"Daddy!"
The four little ones, seeing that it was over, gathered around. They maintained their Dragon Phoenix forms, surrounding Amon from four directions.
"Look, we've also turned into dragons, just like you, Daddy."
"Yes, yes, does this mean we're Daddy's true children now?"
Amon spread his hands, a smile appearing on his face:
"Unfortunately, I've turned into a worm now."
Xiao Xiao thought for a moment: "Can I evolve again? I want to turn into a worm too."
"Right, right, Big Sister is right!"
"We want to turn into worms too!"
"No," Amon gave a direct answer.
The four sisters' excitement subsided, and expressions of disappointment appeared on their dragon faces.
However, they still retained their childlike nature; worries came and went quickly, and they immediately became cheerful again, chasing each other and having a great time.
Dragon roars echoed in the sky. They unrestrainedly released their Dou Saint aura and the dense bloodline pressure, making the magical beasts tremble.
Dragon roars held a different meaning on the Northern Continent, after all, the strongest barbarian tribe was once wiped out by the Dragon Emperor in a single day.
"Alright, rein it in a bit. We've spent quite some time here, and someone might come to investigate. Let's leave first."
The four little ones' faces fell. After experiencing the colorful outside world, they didn't want to return to the space Amon constructed, where there was nothing and it was too boring.
Seeing this, Amon chuckled and said, "No need to go back, we just need to change our location. You all should restrain your aura."
Hearing this, the four transformed back into human form, quickly reining in their terrifying power, and followed Amon into the spatial rift he had just torn open.
