The Patriarch of the Fire Phoenix Race watched quietly from the side. The two of them seemed to be lovey-dovey and he was not in a hurry to make a move. To him, the outcome was already set. Even if he had some more time, it would be very interesting to see the two of them act like little girls.
Lin Xiu and Huo Ling'er separated after a long time. The two of them held hands and walked side by side to the Old Ancestor of the Fire Phoenix Race. There was no anger as expected, only calmness and indifference.
People were always like this. If there was a glimmer of hope of survival, they would naturally do their best to fight for it. But once the hope was shattered, they would either go crazy or quietly wait for death. Lin Xiu and Huo Ling'er were undoubtedly the latter.
"Senior, although I despise your character, I can't deny that you have very high attainments in the aspect of Fire Attribute Spiritual Energy. Once you kill the two of us, I hope that you can stop the disaster brought by the Netherworld Palace no matter what. Only by completely uprooting the Netherworld Palace, will the entire continent be able to regain its peace and stability." Lin Xiu bowed respectfully to the Old Ancestor of the Fire Phoenix Race. He wasn't bowing to the person in front of him, but to a great expert who could possibly save the continent in the future.
The Old Ancestor of the Fire Phoenix Race was also stunned by Lin Xiu's sudden change in attitude. To be honest, he still couldn't believe that the extremely determined little guy would actually give up so easily.
Huo Ling'er revealed a peaceful and happy smile on her face. She held Lin Xiu's hands tightly, then calmly closed her eyes and waited for the arrival of death.
However, after a long time, there was still no movement from the Old Ancestor of the Fire Phoenix Race. She and Lin Xiu couldn't help but open their eyes in confusion.
They saw that the Old Ancestor of the Fire Phoenix Race was filled with unwillingness, but he seemed to have figured something out and revealed a smile of relief on his face.
"The two of you really satisfy me. I find that my soul force is no longer enough to kill the two of you, and I'll be able to successfully take over Huo Ling 'er's body." The Fire Phoenix Clan's ancestor's expression was calm. She only sighed with some regret.
After waiting for tens of thousands of years, he finally had the chance to stir up a storm on the continent. However, the successive battles had caused his already weak soul to no longer have the strength to continue fighting.
Previously, he had made a mistake in his judgement. If he had only successfully detonated the bead, then the burden on his soul wouldn't have been that great. However, making the bead release energy bit by bit was extremely taxing on his mind. This had also caused his Soul Power to rapidly dissipate. Right now, he was really approaching the end of his life.
"When a man is about to die, his words are always kind. Don't worry, right now, I don't have the ability to kill the two of you. Even if I could kill the two of you, it would be useless. There's no need to be so vigilant." At this moment, the Fire Phoenix Race's Old Ancestor seemed to have let go of her obsession with rebirth. She sat down and rubbed her chest.
Lin Xiu and Huo Ling'er realized that the Old Ancestor of the Fire Phoenix Race who had calmed down looked so lonely and even a little pitiful.
"I don't have much time left. If it's possible, the two of you can sit down and listen to me talk about our era. Right now, I can't tell anyone else."
Lin Xiu and Huo Ling'er nodded their heads and sat down obediently. Right now, they had also lost the strength to fight. They believed that if the Fire Phoenix Race's Old Ancestor had any means, the two of them could only close their eyes and wait for death.
The Fire Phoenix Race's Old Ancestor tidied his robe and stroked his snow-white beard with a hint of reminiscence in his eyes.
"When I was born in this continent, I was just a Fire Phoenix with ordinary talent. I was far from being considered a genius in the race and had suffered endless mockery and disdain. Gradually, I became incomparably disappointed with the entire clan. I understood that if I continued to stay within the clan, I would never have any hope of rising again. Thus, I chose to venture out into the world, to see the truly brilliant and varied world. "
"The outside world is really too wonderful. It is full of all kinds of dangers. But what is exciting is that I have been unable to advance for a long time. Because of this, I finally broke free from the shackles and entered the Universe Mirror. If I chose to return to my clan at this moment, I would definitely be valued with my cultivation at that time. But the Fire Phoenix Clan is also an incomparably powerful clan. The Universe Mirror is far from being the peak power, so I did not choose to go back. I must wait until I become strong enough to return all the humiliation that was inflicted on me to those people."
As the Fire Phoenix Race's Old Ancestor spoke those words, Lin Xiu and Huo Ling 'er seemed to be able to see how much suffering a youth had to go through in order to become stronger.
At this moment, Huo Ling 'er couldn't help looking at Lin Xiu with a gentle gaze. Clearly, Lin Xiu's experience was the same as her Old Ancestor's. The only difference was that Lin Xiu did not become as extreme as the Fire Phoenix Race's Old Ancestor. On the contrary, he had always been a gentle and kind person.
"After reaching the Cosmos Realm, the physique of my Monster Race naturally made me far stronger than ordinary humans. I also made some good friends, but during one of our expeditions in a secret realm, we encountered a great disaster. In order to save them, I also revealed my true form." When the Fire Phoenix Race's Old Ancestor spoke until here, he seemed to have recalled something bad and tightly knitted his brows with a trace of heartache in his tone.
"I originally thought that with our friendship, the relationship between us would be even deeper after I saved them. But I never imagined that when I came out of that secret realm, the few of them actually joined hands to kill me."
"We're the best of life and death brothers!" The Fire Phoenix Race's Old Ancestor suddenly shed two streams of turbid tears as he violently coughed. It could be seen that the impact of this matter was too great for him.
Lin Xiu and Huo Ling'er could understand. As a member of the Fire Phoenix race with a noble bloodline in the demon race, every part of their body was a treasure. If they could successfully kill a Universe Realm Fire Phoenix, the rewards would naturally be great.
Furthermore, back then, the Fire Phoenix Race's Old Ancestor's strength was also ordinary. He only managed to break through after concealing his identity. Presumably, his life and death brothers knew that the Old Ancestor did not have a high position in the Fire Phoenix Race.
If the Fire Phoenix Race's Old Ancestor had already reached the Universe Mirror Realm when they first met him, they would definitely not dare to have such thoughts. However, in the face of huge benefits, it was worth the risk to besiege and kill a Fire Phoenix that was not valued in the race.
"That life and death battle almost left me on the verge of death, but I relied on my Rebirth from the Ashes talent to escape in the end. Those people failed to kill me, so they naturally didn't dare to leak the news. Once this matter reached the ears of the Fire Phoenix Clan, what awaited them would be complete annihilation. That would give me the opportunity to take revenge. "
"I began to train alone on the continent. After concealing my identity again, I joined a large sect and became a consecrated elder there. Later on, I killed the Sect Leader of that sect and stole all the treasures within. That was how I increased my strength by quite a bit. " When the Fire Phoenix Race's Old Ancestor said this, his tone was so indifferent, but Lin Xiu and Huo Ling'er could really feel the killing intent in it.
Being besieged by his life and death brothers also made the Fire Phoenix Race's Old Ancestor become cruel and bloodthirsty.
From then on, all moral standards had been thrown to the back of his mind. All he thought in his heart was to make his strength stronger and stronger, and then find a chance to take revenge.
"After washing that sect with blood, I did the same thing again. This matter naturally attracted the attention of human warriors. In order not to expose my identity, I moved to a few other major regions and first completely digested my harvest. "
"Just like that, I cultivated all the way to the ninth level of the Universe Realm. Relying on my Fire Phoenix Race's innate ability to control the fire attribute spiritual power, coupled with my good luck, I took the initiative to use the Rising From The Ashes technique a few times, which also made my physique stronger. At this time, I already had the confidence to take revenge."
"After I thought of all possible methods to find out the whereabouts of those people, I excitedly went to look for them. However, perhaps those people were afraid that I would take revenge on them, they have always been together over the years, afraid that they would be left alone. After all, in terms of strength, I would definitely be able to defeat them."
"But even so, what can they do to me?" The Old Ancestor's words were filled with endless domineering aura.
"Even though the few of them had joined hands and worked together over the years to develop a joint attack formation, they were still killed by me one by one in the end."
The Fire Phoenix Race's Old Ancestor suddenly burst into tears and his nails pierced deeply into his flesh.
He was betrayed by the people closest to him and then personally killed all of them. Such a thing really made him feel very uncomfortable.
Lin Xiu and Huo Ling'er looked at each other. At this moment, they finally understood why the Fire Phoenix Race's Old Ancestor would become like this. It seemed that everything was caused by the environment. His life was really too bumpy.
"From then on, I felt that my strength was already pretty good, so I returned to the Fire Phoenix Tribe and trampled all those who had humiliated me before. Even the geniuses of the Fire Phoenix Tribe from back then were far inferior to me in battle, even though their cultivations were about the same as mine. From then on, I became the next Patriarch's successor. " The Fire Phoenix Race's Old Ancestor revealed a demonic smile on his face. It seemed that he was still a little excited about what he did back then.
"There is something that has always been bothering me. After I killed those brothers of mine, I once encountered an old man without the slightest cultivation. It was very strange. That old man seemed to have seen through my past with a glance and didn't care about the fluctuation of my yuan energy. He followed me for a few days and constantly told me some great principles. But in the end, because I felt that he was too annoying, I swallowed him in one gulp. "The Fire Phoenix Race's Old Ancestor seemed to be a little regretful and tears of blood flowed from his eyes.
"That old man told me that people shouldn't just be obsessed with one thing in their lifetime. They should look at everything in a positive direction. Sometimes, it's like the wildflowers on the roadside. Even in the strong wind, they can still bloom their beauty."
"That old man also told me that it is actually very simple to be a gentleman. As long as you have your own direction and learn to let go, you will be able to live a very happy life. He said that a gentleman is not as tiring as what the books say. Every gentleman will only do their best to help others under the premise of settling down. "
"He said that the reason why a person lives is to first understand what is the purpose of living? Only by helping others and letting go of hatred can one realize the value of one's existence. "
"He said that I am actually not a pitiful person and that I am the same as those other geniuses. I am actually a kind and foolish child."
