Chapter 721 - Nine Chances for Rebirth

Chapter 721: Nine Chances for Rebirth

Within the Devil Refining Gourd, Yao Yue lay unclothed, but covered by the Devil Refining Fire. But, magically, the Devil Refining Fire was affected by Yao Yue’s aura and the flames burning around her body became icy blue.

When Ye Mo entered the Devil Refining Gourd, he was surprised by the scene in front of him.

The flames of the Devil Refining Fire were extremely powerful; they had refined and assimilated countless lives over tens of thousands of years. Those flames had even assimilated the energy of Divine Realm experts and every single flame had tremendous energy. Even the energy contained in the Primordial Shenrui Blood wasn’t as powerful as a single flame of the Devil Refining Fire.

Yao Yu’s body had no trace of life left. But Ye Mo could feel that her body wasn’t being refined by the flames, but absorbing the energy from it instead.

Ye Mo also noticed the shiny giant shadow of an icy blue phoenix start to glow on the surface of Yao Yue’s body.

“That shape… is it the Deathless Ice Phoenix?” Hong Ling tried to calm herself down, but she couldn’t hide her surprise.

“Deathless Ice Phoenix?” Ye Mo asked.

The figure of the icy blue phoenix was completely different from Yao Yue’s Transcendence Golden Body. It had a salient charisma, like a king ruling its territory.

Ling’er jumped out, onto Xiao Jing’s back and spoke softly, “Brother Ye Mo, you’ve only heard about the Ancient Archaic Clan, which you belong to, but you don’t know that, besides the Ancient Archaic Clan, there are three other clans. One of them is the Deathless Ice Phoenix Clan.”

“So you’re saying that Yao Yue is the descendant of the Deathless Ice Phoenix Clan?” Ye Mo asked.

“No, Yao Yue couldn’t be the descendant of the Deathless Ice Phoenix Clan.” Ling’er shook her head, lost in thought. “Yao Yue’s mother passed away a long time ago and Yao Qingyun is such a mediocre cultivator. How could she a member of the Deathless Ice Phoenix Clan? After all, the four clans are held together by their bloodlines.”

“The only explanation I can think of is the combination of her physique and the Primordial Shenrui Blood,” Hong Ling said. “Yao Yue told you that, once, she was chased by opponents and she had to wake her Ice Phoenix Physique and assimilate the Primordial Shenrui Blood. But her cultivation level at the time was too low to absorb the blood, meaning taking the blood should have been. But she survived, and her power was enhanced massively. My guess is that the Primordial Shenrui Blood contains the bloodline of the Deathless Ice Phoenix, and when it got combined with Ice Phoenix Physique, it created the Deathless Ice Phoenix bloodline within Yao Yue.”

“So what? What is the Deathless Ice Phoenix? Can it really cheat death?” Ye Mo stared at Yao Yue, not daring to hope.

“The Deathless Ice Phoenix doesn’t mean cheating death, but, according to legend, if someone has the bloodline of the lord, that person would have chances to revive. But it would cost a great deal of life span,” Hong Ling said. “In my opinion, Yao Yue already died once when she took the Primordial Shenrui Blood. I’ve never really seen a rebirth of a Deathless Ice Phoenix, but according to some books, every time the Deathless Ice Phoenix dies, it will have a chance to revive, but the life span of the Deathless Ice Phoenix will be reduced. There will be nine chances for rebirth, with nine reductions in life span. But, with each rebirth, the phoenix’s power will be boosted significantly.”

The knowledge was intriguing to Ling’er. She had never heard of anything like that before. She opened her eyes widely and listened earnestly.

“Reduce their life span?” Ye Mo was confused.

“For the first time of rebirth, it will take away a thousand years. For the second rebirth, ten thousand years. Even though a Profound Heavens Realm expert usually has a life span of ten thousand years, this is Yao Yue’s second rebirth, meaning there won’t be enough years in her life to be reduced.” Hong Ling sighed sadly.

But what if Yao Yue reached the Cosmos Realm? Then her life span would be prolonged again, so she could have a second rebirth. Unfortunately, she was killed when she had only entered the Profound Heavens Realm, so there would be no chance for a second rebirth.

“Hong Ling,” Ye Mo said. “What if I transfer my life span to Yao Yue, what would happen?”

As a Transcendence Seventh Realm expert, Ye Mo had a life span of 1000 years. If he transferred his life span to Yao Yue, he could give her his thousand years. But, after the transfer, Ye Mo could burn out his life.

“It’s doable,” Hong Ling said. “But, if you really did it, your own life span would be less than a year.”.

“I don’t care,” Ye Mo said. “One year is enough for me to enter the Profound World Realm. With my talent, I might even be able to enter the Profound Heavens Realm, Cosmos Realm or even some higher realm. A thousand years of my life is no big deal.”

Without any hesitation, Ye Mo let Hong Ling teach him everything he needed to know about life span transfer, and he mastered the method quickly.

Ye Mo waved his hand and lifted Yao Yue’s body into the air. Yao Yue floated like a goddess from heaven. A trace of life came out from her.

“Burn!”

Ye Yao, standing in front of this goddess-like girl, didn’t hesitate at all. He changed his hand postures, casting out different mudras. The technique he was trying to cast was a forbidden one, called the Fate Control Technique. Using that technique, he could consume his own life span in order to generate a strong attack, and its power was usually devastating.

But consuming life span was a steep cost. One powerful attack could burn out all life span of the cultivator.

But now, Ye Yao was desperate to save Yao Yue’s life. He wanted to use up all of his life span.

A cluster of life-fire started to float above Ye Mo’s head. With the burning of the life-fire, Ye Mo could feel he was losing something inside, running out of time.

Gradually, Ye Mo’s body, face, arms, and all other parts were losing the glamour of life. In the end, he became an old man with wrinkles all over his skin.

He felt a major part of the energy within him was lost, and he became terribly fragile.

The thousand years of life, becoming the burning flames, began to infuse Yao Yue’s body with a stream of life.

The energy within the Devil Refining Gourd flew to Ye Mo, sustaining his life.

The strong power of life entered Yao Yue’s body and nourished her Source Core. Finally, she was full of life again.

Crackle!

Yao Yue, with the burning Devil Refining Fire around her, suddenly opened her eyes. Fires raged in her gaze. The power of life, the power of the Devil Refining Fire and the power of the Deathless Ice Phoenix bloodline merged together and then fused into her Transcendence Golden Body.

Later, Ye Mo, with his extremely feeble body, felt like a memory from the ancient time was waking up slowly.

The silhouette of Deathless Ice Phoenix beside her began to screech solemnly.

“Yao Yue has woken an ancient memory during the second rebirth. She might be able to cast some tricks of the Deathless Ice Phoenix now. Moreover, the power of the Devil Refining Fire has also fused to her body and boost her up to the Mid-grade Profound Heavens Realm.”

Ling’er was surprised. But this scene was half happy and half sad.

The happy half was, no doubt, Yao Yue’s rebirth. But the sad half was there wasn’t much time left for Ye Mo.

Endless Tribulations from the heaven and earth ripped up the space of the Devil Refining Gourd, and all shot at Yao Yue.

Ye Mo stumbled back feebly because of the frenzied power. He knew that it was the Tribulation for the advancement of a Profound Heavens Realm expert.

“Deathless Ice Phoenix Bell!”

With no hesitation at all, Yao Yue generated a magnificent technique. A giant Deathless Ice Phoenix Bell descended. The attacks of the Tribulation hit the bell and exploded immediately, then gradually faded away.

Ye Mo wasn’t worried about the attacks at all. It was true that the Tribulation could cause some damage to cultivators who wanted to advance to a higher level. But Yao Yue, with the protection of the Deathless Ice Phoenix Bell and the power of the Deathless Ice Phoenix bloodline, would endure the process easily.

“Deathless Might!”

The attacks of the Tribulation hit Yao Yue ceaselessly and her body exploded completely, becoming countless ice particles. And then, the ice particles started to aggregate together, forming her body again, floating in the air.

Her body was flawless, as white as snow, like a piece of art.
