Chapter 1580: Phoenix
This situation naturally dispelled Ao Ming's worries.

The other Chaos Sea Emperors, unaware of this situation, all wore conflicted expressions.

Some tried to step forward to dissuade them, but were held back by their companions; others chose to observe and try to find the answer from the kite hunter's actions; still others quietly retreated, afraid of being drawn into this inexplicable "punishment".

The entire chaotic battlefield fell silent once again, with only the crisp sound of the broken whip striking flesh echoing in the void.

After being whipped three more times, Wang Xian suddenly felt something different. The sharp pain in his chest gradually subsided, and in its place came a warm current.

This flow of energy was the primordial liquid that seeped into his whip marks. Instead of continuing to damage his meridians, it was slowly repairing his damaged essence.

At first, Wang Xian thought it was an illusion, but after careful observation, he discovered that the originally depleted Star Body essence was slowly reviving, and faint golden light spots began to appear on his body surface.

The airflow of the chaotic body also became active, and the airflow that had been cut by the laws of analysis was being re-condensed by the primordial liquid.

Even the Destiny Body, which had completely collapsed due to the burning of its origin, showed a faint purple fluctuation under the nourishment of the Wilderness Origin Liquid.

"This...this is healing?"

Wang Xian was filled with shock. Looking at Shou Yuan's still cold eyes, he simply couldn't connect "angry whipping" with "healing".

But the changes in his body didn't lie. He could clearly feel that his strength was recovering at a visible speed, even more stable than during his previous peak.

The Wilderness Origin Liquid not only repaired his injuries but also tempered his physique, making the origin of the four physiques, except for the Destiny Body, more condensed.

"Snapped!"

Another lash fell, this time Shouyuan deliberately controlled the force.

The broken whip did not pierce Wang Xian's skin again, leaving only a faint red mark. The dark golden Wilderness Origin Liquid quickly seeped into the red mark, traveling along Wang Xian's meridians, repairing his body that had been shattered by the Golden Armored Heavenly Emperor, and even beginning to nourish his damaged soul.

Wang Xian's brows gradually relaxed, and the anger in her eyes slowly dissipated, replaced by deep doubt.

He looked at Shouyuan's tense profile, not understanding what was wrong with her.

Despite her extreme anger towards him, she is now helping him heal, albeit in an unconventional way.

As time went by, the Blood Fiend Emperor also noticed the changes in Wang Xian.

She stared at Wang Xian's body and exclaimed in surprise, using her mind to transmit a message to the other Heavenly Emperors: "Look at Wang Xian's aura! His Stellar Body's essence is recovering! Before, his Stellar Body was almost exhausted, but now we can see golden light spots!"

The Ghost Emperor also narrowed his eyes, carefully observing Wang Xian's condition.

His divine soul power far surpassed that of other Heavenly Emperors, and he could clearly see the flow of the primordial essence within Wang Xian's body: "That's right! Shou Yuan's whip carries pure primordial essence. This essence is not harming Wang Xian, but repairing his primordial essence! She is healing Wang Xian in this special way!"

Thunder Emperor breathed a sigh of relief as the lightning around him gradually subsided.

As he watched Wang Xian's skin gradually regain its luster, he couldn't help but sigh, "No wonder she wanted to kill the Purple Gold Heavenly Emperor earlier; it turns out she was protecting Wang Xian. But this method of healing is just too strange..."

Ao Ming asked in confusion, "Is this the special healing method of the barbaric world?"

As the rulers of the ancient world, the Hunting Clan's power system is different from theirs, which may explain their unique healing methods.

Seeing that Wang Xian was unharmed, the Heavenly Emperors of the Chaos Sea were relieved, and their previous worries turned into curiosity.

They watched as Shouyuan "angrily whipped" Wang Xian while healing his wounds, finding it somewhat amusing but daring not to show it.

After all, the temperament of this barbaric ruler is truly unpredictable.

When Wang Xian's strength returned to its peak, and even showed signs of a breakthrough, Shou Yuan finally put away the broken whip.

The savage chains in her palm slowly dissipated, transforming into countless dark golden specks of light that merged into Wang Xian's body, becoming a part of his essence.

Wang Xian regained her mobility, but did not leave immediately.

He hovered in front of Shouyuan, looking at her still tense expression, and asked softly, "Why did you choose this method to heal? Also, what exactly are you angry about regarding the events of the Primordial World?"

Shouyuan did not answer immediately, but slowly lowered her head, released her right hand that was holding the broken whip, and gently stroked the mane on the neck of the nine-headed lion.

Unlike the soft mane of ordinary lions, the mane of the wild lion has a coarse and hard texture unique to wild beasts. Each hair is like a tiny dark gold steel needle, but it becomes docile when touched by the hunting kite.

They trembled slightly, as if responding to their master's emotions. The hunting kite's fingertips traced the still-dry black bloodstains on its mane, the movement carrying an almost imperceptible tremor.

Her nails were neatly trimmed and pressed against the base of her mane, as if she were trying to calm the turmoil in her heart.

Sensing her emotions, the nine-headed lion slowly lowered its leftmost, most docile head, gently nuzzling her arm with its furry cheek and letting out a deep, long growl.

The roar was no longer as ferocious as before; instead, it carried a soothing quality, like an ancient, primal ballad, lingering around the two of them.

The Heavenly Emperors of the Chaos Sea held their breath, not daring to even exhale.

They could see that Shouyuan's long, flowing hair covered her profile, but it couldn't hide her slightly trembling shoulders. The wild mist flowed slowly around her, but it appeared somewhat disordered because of her emotional fluctuations, sometimes condensing into the shape of a ferocious beast, and sometimes dissipating into formless air currents.

A moment later, Shouyuan suddenly raised its head.

Her suppressed rage erupted like a volcano. Her eyes had turned crimson, and her dark golden pupils were filled with a mixture of savage fire and pain. Her teeth were clenched so tightly that her gums were stained with blood.

She took a step forward, and the Savage Origin Liquid seeped from the gaps in her animal hide armor, condensing into tiny flames at her feet. She stared intently at Wang Xian, her voice hoarse and strained: "How did you do that?!"

"How did you do it?"

Wang Xian was completely stunned, his brows furrowing into a knot. He subconsciously looked down at his hands, then recalled all his experiences from when they parted ways in the Primordial World until now. He hadn't done anything out of line, let alone "done" anything that would make Shou Yuan so angry.

Wang Xian opened her mouth, her tone full of confusion: "What? How did you do that? I... what did I do?"

"Huang'er!" Shouyuan suddenly roared, her sharp voice piercing through the chaotic air, "Where has my Huang'er gone?!"

The roar was filled with extreme pain and anger. The nine-headed lion was so frightened that it trembled. The eight ferocious lion heads instantly calmed down, leaving only the gentle lion head still rubbing against Shouyuan's arm.

From the distant ancient world came the roars of ferocious beasts, as if cheering on her anger. Even the surrounding wild mist boiled violently, transforming into countless hideous beast phantoms, baring their teeth at Wang Xian, as if they would pounce on him and tear him to pieces at the slightest command from Shou Yuan.

Wang Xian's pupils shrank suddenly, and the blood in his body seemed to freeze at that moment.

"Huang'er?"

He caught the glimpse of this unfamiliar name, and combined it with the "ritual" that Shouyuan had mentioned earlier, an unbelievable thought suddenly surged into his mind: Could it be... the child born from that forced ritual between him and Shouyuan in the ancient world?

Before he could process this shocking news, Shouyuan's next words left him completely frozen in place.

“Our Hunting Clan has never had men since the beginning! Each generation of clansmen must find a man whose bloodline is compatible with ours after reaching adulthood to conceive new life—once a target is chosen, they will never change, because our bloodline can only give birth to offspring with the first compatible one!”

Her voice grew increasingly excited, and the Primal Essence slid down her cheeks, leaving two dark golden tear tracks: "Our union has given birth to a new life. Her bloodline contains not only the Primal Essence of my Hunting Clan, but also your Chaos and Star Power. I named her 'Phoenix' because her primal fluctuations are very similar to those of the Primal Primal Ancestral Phoenix!"

The Heavenly Emperors of the Chaos Sea were all shocked when they heard this.

Ao Ming's black dragon body trembled slightly. He had seen scattered records about the Hunting Clan in ancient dragon books, but he never expected that this race's way of reproduction was so special.

Wang Xian felt as if an invisible hand was tightly gripping her heart.

"Then...why has Huang'er disappeared?"

Wang Xian's voice was somewhat hoarse. He could sense Shou Yuan's despair and began to worry about this daughter he had never met.

Shouyuan's body trembled violently, as if recalling the most painful scene: "The day before Huang'er was about to be born, I was using the Wilderness Core to stabilize her origin at the Wilderness Altar when I suddenly felt the fluctuations of the origin in my womb begin to become disordered."

It didn't dissipate; it was as if it had been forcibly pulled away by some force! I desperately tried to stop it by activating my own inner power, but I could only watch helplessly as that energy vanished from my body, leaving not even a trace!

Her voice suddenly rose, filled with hysterical madness: "I searched the entire ancient world! I used all the secret techniques inherited by the Hunting Clan, and even burned half of the Primordial Origin to activate the Primordial Core for investigation, but I still couldn't find any trace of Huang'er! It's as if she never existed, and even the connection between our bloodlines has been completely severed!"

At this point, Shouyuan suddenly looked at Wang Xian, her anger mixed with a hint of questioning: "The ancient world had already closed all passages to the outside world at that time."

Except you!
Besides you, who shares a blood relationship with her, who else could take her away?!

I can sense that when Huang'er disappeared, the residual aura was exactly the same as yours, only much stronger!
"You dare say you didn't do this?!"

Wang Xian was taken aback by her question, then a surge of intense grievance and urgency welled up within her: "I didn't! I had no idea Huang'er existed, how could I possibly have taken her away?"

Shouyuan stared at Wang Xian, and after several dozen breaths, a complex look flashed in her dark golden vertical pupils: "If it wasn't you, why is Huang'er's residual aura exactly the same as yours? And at least hundreds of times stronger than yours?"

Wang Xian pondered for a moment, then suddenly remembered something, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes: "Could it be... me in the future?"

Wang Xian has absolutely no doubt about his future achievements.

Moreover, he possesses the Time-Space Body and the Time-Space Book, one of the Nine Heavenly Books. If he wants to take the unborn Huang'er from the closed Primordial World, he can definitely do it in the future.

"You from the future?" Shouyuan was taken aback, then asked, "Why did you take Huang'er away?"

Wang Xian's lips twitched.

Although he is also his future self, he is not his future self now, so how could he know why his future self wanted to take Huang'er away?

However, although he thought this in his heart, he absolutely could not say it out loud, for he was afraid that if he did, he would definitely be whipped a few more times by Shouyuan.

This woman is far stronger than she was in the ancient world; he is no match for her now.

Wang Xian looked at Shou Yuan with a serious expression: "Perhaps you or Huang'er might encounter some kind of crisis, so in the future I can only take Huang'er away temporarily and send her back after the crisis is over?"

Although this guess is bizarre, it has become the most reasonable explanation at present.

Shouyuan fell silent. Looking into Wang Xian's serious eyes, her doubts gradually subsided.

The nine-headed lion seemed to agree with this statement. Its gentle lion head nuzzled Shouyuan's arm again and let out a soothing growl, as if advising her to trust Wang Xian.

The chaotic void fell into a brief silence, with only the sound of flowing wild mist and the roars of ferocious beasts from the distant ancient world.

As Shouyuan looked at Wang Xian, the crimson in her eyes gradually faded, leaving only deep worry and exhaustion.

During the days she was searching for Huang'er, she had hardly slept. If the ancient world hadn't suddenly opened and she hadn't sensed that Wang Xian was in danger, she might still be sitting in vain on the desolate altar of the ancient world.

Looking at her haggard appearance, Wang Xian felt a surge of inexplicable responsibility.

Regardless of who took Huang'er away, he was still Huang'er's father, and finding his daughter was his responsibility. He took a step forward, his tone firm: "Shouyuan, I know it's hard for you to believe me right now, but I swear to you, I will definitely help you find Huang'er—whether it was my future self who took her away, or someone else was behind it all, I will find out the truth and bring Huang'er back safely."

He paused, then added, "Moreover, Huang'er is my daughter, and I cannot let her fall into the hands of others. From now on, finding Huang'er will be my top priority, even if it means giving up the opportunity to break through my current level."

These words completely dispelled the complex emotions in Shouyuan's eyes, replacing them with a faint warmth.

Looking into Wang Xian's determined eyes, she slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

The loneliness and anger of these past few days seemed to find an outlet at this moment.
