Seeing Phoenix and Kunhuang's eagerness to drag Mo Tang away immediately, Eagle Phoenix's expression grew even more unpleasant.
He also wanted a bloodline member destined to become a powerful figure, but his previous words made him too ashamed…
However, in the end, it was Clan Chief Huang Tian who spoke up, not directly stating which lineage Mo Tang belonged to, but simply taking Mo Tang away.
Watching Mo Tang disappear with Huang Tian, Phoenix, dressed in red, frowned.
"Could it be that the Clan Chief also has designs on this kid…"
This was not good news for her.
It wasn't because she had lost such a promising member, but because if the Clan Chief became interested in this kid, it could threaten Jiufeng's position as the Clan Chief…
Although Phoenix had a fiery temper, after living for so many years, she understood everything perfectly well.
Clan Chief Huang Tian was a low-key person who rarely interfered in clan affairs, leaving most decisions to the three Phoenixes.
If Huang Tian really intended to use this young man for some purpose, then the three of them had to be careful…
Following Huang Tian, Mo Tang arrived at a strange space.
This place was filled with a gray energy, and upon contact, countless whispers and murmurs seemed to resound within his soul, startling Mo Tang. He immediately used his battle qi to isolate himself.
"Be careful," Huang Tian's words came at the opportune moment, "that's the dissipated soul power of the fallen Phoenix Clan. If it invades your soul, even a Dou Zun will be in trouble." This
made Mo Tang even more cautious.
However, these words also indicated their current location: the burial space where the Heavenly Phoenix Clan buried their members…
But why did Huang Tian bring him here?
Whether sensing Mo Tang's thoughts or not, Huang Tian didn't turn around, but continued in her voice, "I'm curious why I brought you here?"
Mo Tang didn't hide anything and directly replied, "Yes, I don't know why the clan leader brought me to this tomb space."
With a chuckle, Huang Tian's voice became ethereal.
"You... are not a member of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan, are you..."
These words sounded like a thunderclap to Mo Tang's ears.
His entire body stiffened, his heart leaped into his throat, and he stared in horror at the golden figure in front of him.
"Hehe, don't be afraid. I mean no harm..."
Huang Tian paused slightly and turned to look at Mo Tang.
"On this continent, since ancient times, there have been countless races, among which there are quite a few special ones..."
Huang Tian's expression remained calm, and he said in a slow and unhurried tone, "For example, there was once a race called the Devouring Spirit Clan. Their ability was to devour the Dou Di bloodline power of other ancient races in order to prolong their own Dou Di bloodline, slow down the depletion of their own Dou Di bloodline, and make their own Dou Di bloodline flourish forever."
"Unfortunately, this ability was too terrifying for other Dou Di bloodlines. In the end, they were destroyed by the eight major clans on the continent that were the only ones left with Dou Di bloodlines. Since then, the Devouring Spirit Clan has disappeared from the Dou Qi Continent..."
After experiencing the most expected fear, Mo Tang has now calmed down.
Anyway, the opponent was a five-star Dou Sheng. If he really wanted to attack him, he could only accept his fate...
However, judging from his expression, he seemed to have another intention, so thinking about it this way, Mo Tang felt even more at ease.
"So, Clan Chief Huang Tian, do you think I am a member of the Devouring Spirit Clan?"
Mo Tang had indeed heard of the Devouring Spirit Clan, and he also knew that the Devouring Spirit Clan's abilities had not truly disappeared from this continent...
The Soul Clan Chief, Soul Emperor, instructed the Void Devouring Flame to devour the last clan chief of the Devouring Spirit Clan, thus gaining the Devouring Spirit Clan's devouring ability.
The reason why the Soul Clan has become the strongest of the eight ancient clans is largely due to the power of the Dou Di bloodline of the Devouring Spirit Clan, which has allowed them to maintain the longevity of their Dou Di bloodline.
Furthermore, they relied on this ability of the Void Devouring Flame to destroy the Spirit Clan, Medicine Clan, and other ancient races…
Huang Tian shook his head slightly upon hearing Mo Tang's question.
"No! Although the Devouring Spirit Clan can devour the bloodlines of others, it's ultimately for the purpose of strengthening their own.
I've never heard of the Devouring Spirit Clan plundering someone else's bloodline after devouring it; there's a fundamental difference between the two."
His gaze returned to Mo Tang, and Huang Tian continued, "The reason I brought you here is because I'm very curious about how you managed to plunder the Heavenly Demon Phoenix bloodline… This kind of bloodline replacement is even more miraculous than that of the Devouring Spirit Clan!"
It seemed that, apart from reincarnation, replacing bloodlines was theoretically impossible.
After speaking, Huang Tian formed a hand seal, and then a space not far behind him immediately distorted and slowly split open to both sides, revealing a pitch-black passage...
"Let's go, let me see your ability to plunder bloodlines..."
Without waiting for Mo Tang's reply, he had already stepped into the passage.
Seeing this, Mo Tang smiled helplessly and could only follow.
He had calculated everything, but he hadn't expected that the patriarch of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan was actually a true ancient Heavenly Phoenix, and could even see through his bloodline origins at a glance...
It seemed that the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan was far more powerful than depicted in the original story; all that had been revealed was merely the tip of the iceberg of this race that had been passed down from ancient times.
After passing through the spatial passage, to Mo Tang's surprise, what appeared before him was a small, blood-red pool...
just like the Heavenly Mountain Blood Pool he had seen before. Although this blood pool was much smaller, the churning bluish-red liquid within it was far more terrifying than the blood in that pool!
"This... could this all be the essence blood of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix?"
Mo Tang looked at Huang Tian beside him with a horrified expression once again.
Huang Tian smiled and nodded.
"This place contains the essence blood left behind by all the Heavenly Demon Phoenixes that have perished over the past ten thousand years. I'm giving you a chance now...
jump down, and then strive to improve your bloodline. If you can reach the level I desire, then you will be one of the candidates for the next patriarch of my Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan, and you can use half of the entire Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan's power!"
These words made Mo Tang's eyes light up.
Half the power of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix... wouldn't that mean he would immediately possess strength comparable to the Heavenly Nether Sect and the Flower Sect?
Moreover, he could improve his bloodline... such a good thing is hard to find even with a lantern!
