780 Bloodline Supremacy Battle (I)
(AN: This chapter is not edited.)
——-
Huo Fenghuang waved her hand to summon an all-white sword with a design of a white tiger roaring at the Heavens on the edge. A terrifying killing intent emanated from the sword and her body.
She moved and instantly appeared before Ao Shen, swinging down her sword with the intention of cleaving him into two parts. Dragon scales appeared on Ao Shen’s arms, allowing him to block the attack. However, the force behind this swing pushed him a few kilometers away.
Huo Fenghuang was not surprised by Ao Shen’s identity as an Innate Dragon. Before the battle, he did an excellent job hiding it, using a brilliant secret technique and probably some type of Hiding Innate Treasure.
However, after acquiring his Chaos Bloodline, it was more challenging for him to control the bloodline aura released from his body. So, Huo Fenghuang immediately identified him upon laying eyes on him.
Swish!
Huo Fenghuang used a blood-colored slash attack. However, a vortex appeared before Ao Shen, swallowing the attack.
Blugh!
Ao Shen vomited a mouthful of blood, followed by Huo Fenghuang’s previous attack.
‘Yin-Yang Reversal?’ he thought with an ugly complexion. After swallowing that slash, she used the Dao of Yin-Yang to reverse the power of his swallowing and force him to expel what he ingested, thus injuring him in the process.
Huo Fenghuang did not give Ao Shen any breathing time. She used the Killing Innate Law from her White Tiger Bloodline to control the blood he vomited and turned them into two blood spears.
Ao Shen’s face changed as he saw the blood spears rushing toward him. He felt they locked his position and would follow him anywhere he went. Regardless, his intuition told him he should not directly defend against this attack.
So, a pair of Cicada Wings appeared behind his back, and he rushed away, evading the attack. He thought his evasive actions would buy him more time. Unfortunately, he was wrong.
After the blood spears missed their target, they suddenly disappeared. And before Ao Shen could react, the spears appeared in his body, piercing his heart and internal organs.
‘The blood returned to its owner,’ he thought while groaning. ‘Luckily, her Duyi Realm is weaker compared to mine.’
Huo Fenghuang’s Duyi was subpar for one reason–pride. As a Heaven Chosen from the Ancient Clans, she has knowledge about the Duyi Realm. However, the Ancient Clan usually achieves Duyi Realm by combining the Ancient Cultivation System with Qiyuan’s Origin System.
However, most clan members despise or have a deep hatred for Qiyuan. So, the majority refused to use this method–including Huo Fenghuang. After experiencing the Deception Trial, she knew she needed to master the power of the Duyi Realm.
So, she found a way without relying on herself, but after so many years, she only reached the 5th stage–even through training. After all, she does not have someone like Wang Wei to ask for guidance from Li Jun.
Meanwhile, Ao Shen’s Duyi Realm reached the 9th stage by combining the Martial Hegemony Martial Art System, the Origin System, and the demon race’s Bloodline System. Sadly, he has no knowledge or experience on how to correctly use his Duyi Realm.
“What?” grunted Ao Shen as she discovered an anomaly. Huo Fenghuang’s Duyi realm was mixed with something else.
‘Phoenix’s Immortal Will.’
“Noticed?” asked Huo Fenghuang with a sneer. She knew her weakness was her Duyi Realm. So, she solved the problem by mixing it with the Will of the Phoenix from her Innate Bloodline. Furthermore, she also added the immortal characteristics of the Phoenix into the mixture.
Ao Shen was irritated. He knew if he had a better understanding and control of his Duyi Realm, his current issue would be a simple problem to solve. Unfortunately, the demon race has lost most of its inheritance. And his experience in the Martial Hegemony World was not enough to make up for the gap with the other races that have long and complete inheritances.
‘I will need some time to remove her influence on me. However, I know she won’t give me the opportunity.’
Ao Shen’s assessment was correct. Huo Fenghuang immediately went on the offensive. Two enormous creatures appeared around him–a dragon and a phoenix.
The dragon’s body was made entirely out of water element, releasing the pressure of the top Innate Demon between Heaven and Earth. Meanwhile, the Phoenix was a flame elemental with a noble aura as the most beautiful and majestic creature between Heaven and Earth.

The two Innate creatures rushed toward Ao Shen, fusing in the process. Then, they exploded, turning the starry sky into a realm of ice and fire. One side was frozen like the north during winter, and the other was as hot as hell itself.
And in the middle stood Ao Shen’s heavily injured body.
‘Damn it, we are both at the peak of 7-Leaf. Why is she so powerful?’ He felt his brain was functioning properly in the course of this battle. Suddenly, he heard a sound that sent shivers down his spine.
He felt an instinctive spear recorded deep in his bloodline. Ao Shen gazed at the source and saw a dark gold creature with a wingspan of 90,000 kilometers.
“Primordial Roc–an Innate Demon who preyed on dragons back in the Primordial Era,” he muttered. Dragons were the most powerful Innate Demon in that era. However, once they became too powerful, Heavenly Dao needed to balance their existence and thus came the existence of the Primordial Roc.
They were known as the fastest creature between Heaven and Earth. They would snatch dragons with their claws as if they were catching worms.
Ao Shen felt the fear deep in his bloodline, but he swiftly reigned in his uncontrolled emotion. His ancestors schemed against the Primordial Roc’s race and almost drove them to extinction.
So, he had no need to fear them. What he cared about was how Huo Fenghuang could create such a technique that targeted the weakness of his bloodline. He did not sense any of Roc’s bloodline from her, so he was momentarily confused.
Then, his eyes lit up.
‘According to my memories, in the Primordial Era, Dragons ruled the sea, Qilin ruled the earth, Tigers ruled the mountain, and Phoenixes ruled the sky. They were known as the Rulers of All Birds.
‘Did she use that concept to create the Primordial Roc?’
His mind worked extremely fast, analyzing the situation in the little time he had. A subtle aura emanated from Ao Shen’s body, displaying the fear he had tried to control.
The Primordial Roc seemed very spiritual and took this opportunity to rush toward him with unmatched speed. Before Ao Shen could blink his eyes, the creature was already above him, ready to tear him apart.
Unfortunately, only a smirk greeted the noble creature. Ao Shen was faking his fear to lure the creature closer to him. He did so knowing how fast the Roc would be, and he would most likely be unable to avoid it directly.
Numerous tree roots came out of Ao Shen’s body and captured the Primordial Roc. Then, he acted swiftly by activating one of his bloodlines that focused on Curses.
He used the Primordial Roc as a medium to cast a powerful and nasty curse.
Blugh!
Ao Shen vomited another significant mouthful of blood; he suffered the backlash from his curse’s failure.
‘Rookie mistake,’ thought Ao Shen with gritted teeth. He forgot the Five Sacred Beasts were one of the noblest creatures. As such, Heavens blessed them so they would not be evaded by evil, and curses were considered one of the evils of Heaven and Earth.
Swish!
Huo Fenghuang suddenly appeared before him, her white sword containing a terrifying red aura. Without hesitation, she stabbed him in the heart. She calmly looked at the body before her before slowly removing her sword.

‘The Shell Escape Technique from the White Cicada Bloodline,’ thought Huo Fenghuang, who was similar to this technique as this demon tribe was famous for their escape technique. When in danger, they can shed their skin and escape.
Ao Shen watched her as fear flashed in his eyes. He knew how scary that last attack was because she wanted to use her Killing Innate Law to “kill” his Chaos Bloodline.
‘Something is wrong,’ thought Ao Shen. Unfortunately, Huo Fenghuang did not want to give him time to figure it out. She rushed toward him, not hiding her desire to kill him as soon as possible.
Ao Shen decided to use a stalling tactic. He used another Divine Ability to create countless clones of himself. Then, he used his Extreme Innate Treasure he used to hide his identity to turn invisible.
Huo Fenghuang acted swiftly and burned all the clones in her path. However, they were not afraid of death and exploded themselves before death. Many rushed at her with the intention of dying.
Then, before Huo Fenghuang could find a countermeasure, she heard a cracking sound, making her sigh deeply.
“Did you find it?” she asked with a smile.
“A probability field created by your Luck Dao that increased your chances of winning,” said Ao Shen with a sneer, his voice echoing in the surrounding. “And the best way to guarantee victory is to affect my mind, forcing me to make horrible decisions and mistakes during battle.”
“Correct. And with your previous state of mind, this technique was more successful and easier than it should have been.”
Ao Shen wanted to rip her heart out and force her to eat it. As soon as his mind was clear, he realized it was a mistake to fight an opponent like Huo Fenghuang using his Chaos Bloodline’s various abilities. After all, he had just acquired these abilities.
As such, he needed to use his Darkness Law which he has full mastery of; this is the only way to utilize all his power.
