Desolate Era: Hatching a Phoenix at the Beginning

Ye Chen was stunned. He looked at the “Divine Power” column on his interface carefully.

[Divine Power: Undying Divine Fire, Kun Peng Speed, Law of Power, Concealment Mirage]

“Little Purple didn’t have a Divine Power to synchronize with me when it was born. I thought that only Divine Beasts could synchronize their Divine Powers with their master.” Ye Chen thought for a moment. “Now it seems that it might be because Little Purple didn’t have a Divine Power that was suitable for synchronizing with humans…”

Otherwise, there was no way to explain why the Divine Power of the Godly Sea Steadying Needle had been synchronized with him.

After thinking about it, Ye Chen placed the Godly Sea Steadying Needle on the ground and said to it, “Use the Concealment Mirage and show me the effect.”

Poseidon Suppression was an attack skill. It would expose them easily if they tried it in the city, but the Concealment Mirage was a concealment skill. Ye Chen planned to see the effect first.

The Godly Sea Steadying Needle nodded obediently. Its silver-gray body curled up and the scales on its body opened slightly. A plume of white mist emitted from it. As the mist gradually dispersed, the body of the Godly Sea Steadying Needle disappeared.

If not for their connection through the Beast Spirit Contract, even Ye Chen wouldn’t have noticed that the Godly Sea Steadying Needle was right in front of him.

He asked the Godly Sea Steadying Needle to remove its concealment and was a bit surprised.

“I also synchronized with this concealment ability. Isn’t it just convenient for us to look for secret books and cultivation arts?”

Hearing this, the Divine Beasts became active.

“Master, where are the cultivation arts? Can I practice them?” Monkey asked quickly. As an artificial Divine Beast, it didn’t have any inherited talent. The cultivation art that they had just gotten wasn’t suitable for its type either, so it had been looking forward to new cultivation arts for a long time.

“I know. The Li Residence might have new cultivation arts!” The Immortal Phoenix said. “I sensed before that there were many treasures with their auras sealed in the place where their house was on fire. They are very similar to the one that the Kun Peng brought back. It’s just that there are many people guarding that place.”

Ye Chen stroked the Immortal Phoenix’s head in agreement.

“No matter how many people are guarding the place, we don’t have to worry. Now that I have the ability to become invisible, I can avoid the guards and get in.” He explained. “You guys can absorb the materials brought by the Kun Peng here first. Then, you can come with me to find secret books inside.”

With that said, he activated his Divine Power and gathered a plume of mist in his palm. The mist gradually expanded and slowly wrapped around his entire body before spreading in the alley. Soon, Ye Chen and the few mutated beasts disappeared in the dark alley.

After confirming that no one could see what was going on in the alley, the Kun Peng spat out the treasures it had looted from Gao Ming’s home. Ye Chen distributed the materials to the other four mutated beasts according to their attributes and skills, and handed the jade tablet to the Kun Peng.

Since the place was small, the mutated beasts transformed into their human-sized forms to facilitate the absorption and digestion of the materials. Meanwhile, the Kun Peng quietly learned the Poison Illusion Art.

Because of the devouring skill, Little Purple absorbed the most energy.

Among the materials it obtained, there was the blood of an SS-rank beast, the Strangle Python, that was contained inside a crystal. After Little Purple absorbed it, the purple bead on its head emitted a faint purple light. It shook its head and transformed back into a small snake, returning to Ye Chen’s hand and rubbing against his shoulder affectionately.

“Master, I feel that something in the blood resonates with me,” it whispered to Ye Chen. “The owner of the blood must be a close relative of the Titan Python. My instincts tell me that it can help me.”

Ye Chen nodded and opened the system interface. He turned to Little Purple’s data panel.

[Little Purple]

[Race: Titan Python (Unawakened)]

[Rank: Divine Beast]

[Maturity: Infant]

[Innate Mystic Ability: Devour, Strong Strangle]

[Attack: 17,000]

[Defense: 23,200]

[Master: Ye Chen]

The increase in Little Purple’s values wasn’t too much but Ye Chen wasn’t in a hurry. He hadn’t found a place for the Divine Beasts to cultivate at the moment. Being able to increase its attack value by 5,000 and its defense value by 7200 by just absorbing the materials, he thought that it was already quite good.

What surprised Ye Chen more was that there was a reminder on Little Purple’s “Race” column that it was unawakened. Did this mean that if Little Purple absorbed more blood of the Pythons, it would be able to awaken the bloodline inheritance of the Titan Python?

Similarly, the flaws of an artificial Divine Beast on Monkey could also be compensated for in this way.

At this thought, Ye Chen looked at Monkey with a meaningful gaze.

Monkey didn’t get any special materials. It was the second one to complete the absorption and its attack value increased by 4400, while its defense value increased by 5800. At this moment, it was happily showing off its muscles to Ye Chen and Little Purple.

The third one to finish the absorption was the Godly Sea Steadying Needle. After it enlarged its body, Ye Chen realized that the small dragon’s body had always been coiled on a pure white bone pillar as if it was a part of its body.

After absorbing the materials, the Godly Sea Steadying Needle’s body revealed a metallic luster and it transformed into a grayish Spiritual Energy of the same color as its body. It circled around the bone pillar and finally went into it completely, forming a dragon pillar that emitted a viciousness.

Monkey went forward curiously and wanted to pick up the dragon pillar to wield it. Ye Chen quickly stopped it. When Monkey raised the Godly Sea Steadying Needle, it felt a powerful force. If it swung it, probably even the streets outside would collapse.

So, Ye Chen asked the two of them to transform back into a little monkey and a small snake, and then looked at their data panels.

The attack value of the Godly Sea Steadying Needle increased by 3300 and its defense value increased by 3500. In addition, Monkey and the Godly Sea Steadying Needle both had a new data column—Skill.

[Skill: Moving Mountain and Sea]

[Hidden prompt message: The combination skill of the Titan Ape and the Deep Sea Dragon. Release Law of Power and Poseidon Suppression together. The energy released will be ten to twenty times greater than that of the original skill.]

“Ten to twenty times! With the addition of the Slaughter Forbidden Technique of the human race, wouldn’t the power be magnified to one or two hundred times?” Ye Chen was really shocked. “No wonder Monkey said that the Godly Sea Steadying Needle belonged to it right after seeing it. It turns out they have a combination skill!”

He had found a treasure!

Ye Chen put his anticipated gaze on the remaining two Divine Beasts.

The Kun Peng maintained its fish form with the jade tablet stuck to its forehead. It floated in the air and emitted a dark light. Cold water vapor emitted from its body and merged with Ye Chen’s Concealment Mirage.

Ye Chen was secretly glad as he looked at the Immortal Phoenix that was making a lot of noise next to him.

While distributing the materials, the Immortal Phoenix obtained a bag of pills for fire-type mutated beasts. After taking it, its body that was originally only emitting some flames suddenly emitted beams of light in all directions. The originally dark red flames turned golden and fiercely burned the mist in the air.

If not for the support of the Kun Peng’s water vapor, the mist would have long evaporated and the anomaly in the alley would have been exposed.

Ye Chen stared at the Immortal Phoenix nervously. It looked like it was in pain. It struggled violently in the air. Every feather was burning. The golden flames slowly burned through its body from inside out.

He had seen such a scene before, so he knew what would happen next.

The Immortal Phoenix was about to advance!
