Douluo 2: This Dragon God has too much martial virtue

The core area of ​​the stars is a very dangerous place.

The ancient tree, thousands of years old and once brimming with vitality, was still burning fiercely. As a plant-type spirit beast, it was almost impossible for it to leave the earth it was rooted in, let alone extinguish the deadly flames on its body. However, the powerful vitality it had accumulated over the long years had now become a cruel torment, preventing it from quickly ending the burning pain. It could only let out silent howls in the flames, feeling its life slowly slipping away.

Trapped in the center of the inferno, Biji was in a similarly dire situation, struggling to survive thanks to the powerful life force inherent in her Emerald Swan clan. Her cultivation was far superior to that of the ancient tree; hundreds of thousands of years of accumulation paled in comparison to its less than ten thousand years of experience. It was foreseeable that even after the ancient tree was completely reduced to ashes, she would barely survive with her tenacious vitality, but at the cost of severe damage to her vital energy and cultivation, making it difficult for her to survive the next tribulation.

Outside the treehouse, the gathered ferocious beasts were at a loss. The Silver Dragon King forbade them from offering any assistance to Brigitte in the sea of ​​fire, unless they also wanted to follow in her footsteps and personally experience the wrath of the Lord of Soul Beasts.

The air was thick with the smell of burning and a heavy sense of powerlessness. Just when they were about to explode from this oppressive atmosphere, a clear and melodious phoenix cry, which seemed to cleanse the soul, suddenly resounded throughout the heavens and earth. Within this phoenix cry, there was also a faint trace of a deep and powerful dragon roar. The two intertwined to form a harmonious sound that shook the soul.

A figure radiating endless light and heat suddenly appeared in the sky above the ominous place.

It was a large, fiery red bird soaring in the sky, its form elegant and perfect. Its head was covered with an exceptionally beautiful crimson feather crest that cascaded down like tassels, and a pair of slender, slightly curved, dark golden dragon horns on its head, adding to its dragon-like majesty and mystery. Its eyes were as fiery and bright as two pools of molten lava, revealing an undeniable intelligence and domineering aura.

Its slender body was covered in crimson-gold feathers, appearing light and agile, yet beneath the feathers, dragon-scale-like patterns faintly emerged. With each flap of its enormous wings, which spanned hundreds of meters in width, countless burning feathers rained down and dissipated.

Its claws are shaped like dragon claws, covered with dense, dark gold scales that are slender yet incredibly sharp. Crimson flames entwine the tips of its claws, emanating a fierce aura capable of incinerating everything.

What is most eye-catching are the ten long and gorgeous tail feathers behind it, with golden and red light flowing on them and slightly forked at the ends, presenting a graceful arc similar to a dragon's tail, leaving ten dazzling flame trails in the air.

As this strange creature appeared, the flames burning on the ancient tree below seemed to receive some supreme summons. They detached from the trunk and, like fireflies returning to their nests, rushed towards the figure in the air, merging into the flames around it, making its light even more intense.

At the same time, all flying soul beasts in the entire Star Dou Great Forest, regardless of their level or location, seemed to be summoned by an instinct originating from the depths of their bloodlines, involuntarily flapping their wings and flying towards the direction of the perilous land. Although the Beast God had long ago issued a prohibition that non-ferocious beasts were not allowed to set foot in the core area, this prohibition seemed to have lost its effectiveness in the face of that ancient bloodline summoning.

Biji tilted her head back, gazing intently through the scorched, bare canopy of the tree, now only charred branches remaining, at the magnificent and powerful dragon-phoenix. The lineages of flying spirit beasts differ from those of land spirit beasts. Land spirit beasts have a diverse ancestry, with the dragons being the most powerful. However, almost all flying spirit beasts can trace their bloodline back to the phoenix, giving rise to the ancient legend of "a hundred birds paying homage to the phoenix."

With Bi Ji's cultivation spanning hundreds of thousands of years, the trace of aura originating from the phoenix within her bloodline had already been tempered and activated during past heavenly tribulations. In a time when the true phoenix had long since disappeared, among all existing soul beasts, her bloodline could be said to be the closest to that of the ancient true phoenix.

However, even she could not resist the call from her bloodline at this moment. Almost involuntarily, she manifested her true form as an emerald swan, vigorously flapping her wings that were scorched by flames, struggling to fly towards the dragon-phoenix in the air with her wounds all over her body. She had only one pure thought in her mind: to get closer to it, and even closer.

This is the newly born Phoenix God. Before becoming a god, he was transformed by the power of the Fire Dragon King and became a member of the dragon race, which is why he has such a unique dragon-phoenix appearance.

"Crimson Gold Profound Flame?!"

The Silver Dragon King's purple eyes suddenly narrowed, and ancient memories from the depths of his bloodline were instantly awakened. This was a unique inheritance belonging to the Fire Dragon King's bloodline, a domineering flame capable of scorching all things in the world and returning them to their original energy source.

The Phoenix Goddess was once killed by the Dragon God himself. Stripped of its creative power, the Phoenix could only become a second-level deity, with no possibility of further advancement. Now, the newly born Phoenix Goddess possesses this innate skill that should belong exclusively to the Fire Dragon race. How could this not fill her with surprise and anger?

Almost instinctively, the radiance of the seven elements—water, fire, earth, wind, light, darkness, and space—simultaneously erupted from her body, and a powerful tide of elements spread out from her center. At this moment, she was the darling of the laws of this world, the master of the elements.

Brilliant silver scales surged from beneath her skin, covering her entire body like a tidal wave. Her form rapidly expanded and lengthened, transforming in mid-air within a few breaths into a colossal dragon over a hundred feet long, its entire body shimmering with magnificent silver light. Most of the scales appeared like the most perfect hexagonal silver gemstones, refracting the brilliance of the elements; however, when sunlight shone at a certain angle, several fine yet deep cracks appeared on the scales of her chest and abdomen.

In the next instant, the silver dragon suddenly soared into the air with a sharp roar that tore through space. A huge dragon claw covered with thick hexagonal silver scales, carrying destructive energy fused and intertwined with seven elements, mercilessly grabbed at the elegant dragon-phoenix in the air!

She was determined to capture this strange phoenix herself and find out why it possessed the power of the Fire Dragon King. Even though this dragon-phoenix had already reached the level of a second-tier deity, in her mind, the Phoenix God was a defeated foe of the Dragon God. She arrogantly believed she would win, a confidence stemming from the pride deep within her bloodline, even though her massive body still bore the scars left by the first Asura God, scars that had yet to fully heal.
