The Seal of Life and Death formed by the Death and Life Precepts was definitely Long Chen's trump card.
The Life Precepts were already at Level 2. If the Death Precepts' level was not high enough, there might be some flaws in the fusion of the two.
Therefore, Long Chen had to upgrade the Death Precepts as well.
As for the Flame Precepts, it was the foundation of activating the Phoenix Divine Fire. Naturally, it had to be upgraded as well.
"Ding … 10,000,000 experience points have been consumed. Death Precepts have been upgraded to Level 2."
"Ding … 10,000,000 experience points have been consumed. Flame Precepts have been upgraded to Level 2."
With the upgrade of the two precepts, Long Chen's understanding of them also deepened.
"Although it costs 10,000,000 experience points to upgrade one level, it's undoubtedly worth it. Although it's only one level, its power is more than twice as strong as before."
Long Chen sighed in his heart.
Ordinary human evolvers would only begin to comprehend the power of precepts when they reached the Emperor Level. Perhaps some gifted King Level would be able to comprehend it, but the latter was very rare.
Once one's cultivation level reached the Emperor Level, the difference in combat strength would not be purely based on physical fitness. It would also include the mastery and comprehension of precepts.
The latter was the real reason for the difference in strength between the Emperor Level powerhouses.
This was also the reason why even the weakest Emperor-class powerhouse could easily defeat a king-class evolver. This was the strength of the power of law.
Perhaps even some mid-stage Emperor Level powerhouses might not be able to comprehend the Level 2 precepts.
Long Chen did not need to comprehend it at all.
"Phew!"
Long Chen opened his eyes and exhaled a turbid breath.
Perhaps only one day had passed in the outside world, but in the volcanic cave, under the activation of the Time Precepts, a hundred days had passed.
Long Chen shifted his gaze to the Flaming Condor's body. The phoenix egg still showed no signs of hatching.
"Big Brother, what kind of f * cking egg is this? It's been a hundred days. Why hasn't it hatched yet?"
The Flaming Condor had begun to break down. It even wanted to beg Long Chen to kill it directly.
Long Chen also frowned slightly. Waiting like this was not the way to go.
However, the Divine Phoenix senior did not have time to tell him how to hatch it, so he had to think of a way himself.
"Big brother, what kind of egg is this?"
Seeing that Long Chen was ignoring her, the Flaming Condor asked again.
Long Chen immediately became impatient and blurted out.
"Phoenix egg!"
"What?!"
Hearing these three words, the Flaming Eagle's feathers bristled and it stood up with a whoosh.
"You said this is a phoenix egg?"
The Flaming Condor was so shocked that its voice broke, but it didn't care at all.
"Nonsense, this is what I obtained from the Divine Phoenix Ruins. It was personally given to me by the remnant soul of the Divine Phoenix."
Long Chen spoke the truth. He wasn't afraid that the Flaming Condor would have other ideas.
With his current strength, if he wanted to kill the Flaming Condor, the latter would not even have the chance to escape back into the lava.
The Flaming Condor was still in shock. Both of its eyes were fixed on the phoenix egg.
When the Flaming Condor thought of the fact that it was the Phoenix that had been under its body for a hundred days, the Flaming Condor felt like dying.
These mutated beasts valued their bloodline very much. Although the phoenix egg had yet to hatch, its bloodline was indeed the pure Phoenix bloodline. This was basically its ancestor.
Think about it, if you knew that you had pressed your ancestor under your body for a hundred days, how would you feel?
"Ancestor, I didn't do it on purpose. It's all this human brat's fault. He made me press down on your honorable eggshell."
The Flaming Condor hurriedly kowtowed to the phoenix egg a few times, making Long Chen roll his eyes.
She wasn't even born yet, so how would she know what you did to her?
"Alright, stop talking nonsense. Hurry up and think about how to hatch it."
Long Chen kicked the Flaming Condor impatiently. Only then did the latter speak in fear and trepidation.
"Big brother, if you had said earlier that this was a phoenix egg, we wouldn't have wasted so much time."
There was a hint of complaint in the Flaming Condor's voice.
"What do you mean?"
Long Chen asked.
"A phoenix egg can't be hatched just by hatching. It needs to absorb enough fire energy essence because to a certain extent, this isn't actually an egg, but a layer of protection that the phoenix uses to protect itself."
"And the phoenix inside is actually still in a sleeping state, so it needs to be awakened with fire."
The Flaming Condor looked at Long Chen as if it was looking at a country bumpkin. He didn't even know this, yet he asked it to hatch the egg as soon as he came out.
After hearing the Flaming Condor's words, Long Chen was suddenly enlightened.
However, this was the first time he knew about the existence of phoenixes, so how could he know these details?
"Then do you know where I can hatch it?"
Long Chen asked again, and the Flaming Condor pointed its head at the magma beside them.
"Far away on the horizon, but right in front of you."
Long Chen looked at the magma and felt a chill in front of his eyes.
That's right, the temperature of this magma was many times higher than ordinary magma, and because the phoenix ruins were hidden in it, it more or less contained some phoenix aura.
Wouldn't it be perfect to use it to provide energy for the phoenix egg?
At the thought of this, Long Chen snatched the phoenix egg and placed it in the magma.
To his surprise, the phoenix egg didn't sink, but floated on the surface.
Buzz!!!
The next moment, the magma suddenly boiled, and countless invisible energy surged into the phoenix egg.
The phoenix egg also began to tremble violently.
"The energy in this magma should be enough for a phoenix to be born."
The Flaming Condor looked at the phoenix egg with fervent eyes. Even it had only heard of it, but this was the first time it had seen a phoenix being born.
Long Chen also stared at the phoenix egg without blinking.
As the energy surged into the phoenix egg like spring water, the latter's trembling frequency became even higher.
The magma in the volcanic cave was also decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Crack.
After an unknown period of time, the first cracking sound was heard.
Then came the second, the third, the fourth …
Cracks appeared on the phoenix eggshell, and finally, with a bang, the eggshell shattered.
A small bird the size of a sparrow floated on the surface of the magma, motionless.
"Is this a phoenix?"
Long Chen asked doubtfully. Why did it look like a small sparrow?
"This is a baby phoenix, but they don't need time to grow, they need energy."
"If you have enough energy, you can even directly raise it to maturity," the Flaming Condor said.
Hearing this, Long Chen couldn't help but look at it.
"You said it needs energy, then does that mean your energy essence is also useful for it?"
A look of greed flashed across Long Chen's eyes.
This Flaming Condor was a Beast Emperor, after all. Although it was only a beginner Beast Emperor, whether it was energy essence or something else, it was incomparable to a Beast Emperor at the pinnacle.
