Chapter 599 - Being Killed by Ye Xiao Was Also a Stroke of Good Fortune! (1/2)

…

After the Phoenix Empress’s reminder, Ye Xiao began to recall the main business.

He took out the black curse from his storage ring and showed it to the Phoenix Empress.

Once that black curse was out, in the blink of an eye, it began to become restless. It sensed the Phoenix Empress and it wanted to enter her body.

However, in Ye Xiao’s hand, it was firmly locked by the immortal law. Although it struggled continuously, it had no way of escaping.

The Phoenix Empress’s pupils constricted slightly.

“What a powerful curse. This is… A curse from the immemorial era?”

Ye Xiao continued to speak,

“Do you recognize this thing?”

The Phoenix Empress’s expression was solemn as she said,

“I’ve only seen a little of it in the Phoenix clan’s archaic treasured tome. During the immemorial era, there were some Supreme Eternals who couldn’t successfully advance to the immortal realm because they didn’t have enough talent. They would use some evil methods to increase their strength so that they could forcefully advance to the immortal realm.

“Just like the Blood Venerable One from before, he was one of them.

“The Bloodbath technique he created can continuously increase one’s strength, and there’s no limit to it.

“This curse should be an existence that can be compared to it.”

“But why isn’t its name on the archaic masterpiece technique ranking? Logically speaking, it should also be there.”

“This is because the current archaic masterpiece technique is incomplete.

“It was said that during the immemorial era, there were no barriers between the entire starry sky and all the great worlds. They were all interconnected.

“At that time, the archaic masterpiece techniques were still called supreme masterpiece techniques.”

Ye Xiao had long known about the archaic masterpiece techniques being called supreme precious techniques in the past.

However, he had not thought of it in depth.

“There were many supreme masterpiece techniques during the immemorial era, so the rankings of the Undying masterpiece techniques and True Dragon masterpiece techniques were actually not so high during the immemorial era! At that time, there were many masterpiece techniques that were above our current archaic masterpiece techniques.

“Only the Minor Destiny masterpiece technique’s rankings was very high even in the immemorial era, and the Creation masterpiece techniques and World Destruction masterpiece techniques below the Minor Destiny technique were not bad either.

“You know all these masterpiece techniques, so you should be able to feel that there was already a very clear difference from the beginning.”

Ye Xiao nodded.

Indeed, if he really wanted to rank those masterpiece techniques, Ye Xiao felt that the Minor Destiny technique was unique.

The Creation masterpiece technique and the World Destruction masterpiece technique were at the second level.

The Undying masterpiece technique included the last few. Although there were some differences, in general, it could be considered as the third level. It was much worse than the previous ones.

For example, although the Bloodbath masterpiece technique could only be ranked eighth, as long as it continuously absorbed the divine blood, it would bring even more benefits than the Undying masterpiece technique.

Therefore, it was possible that during the immemorial era, the Minor Destiny technique, the Creation masterpiece technique, and the World Destruction masterpiece technique were all at the top.

As for the Undying masterpiece technique, including the ones at the bottom, the difference in rank might be larger.

Hence, it was not strange that the curse was effective on the phoenix race.

It might not belong to the great world, but it belonged to this starry sky.

Not only that, its overall strength was not lower than the Phoenix god clan’s Undying masterpiece technique.

“Could this be the Xuanhuang Great World’s masterpiece technique?”

“It shouldn’t be. I know more or less about the Xuanhuang Great World’s masterpiece technique. There isn’t such a masterpiece technique on their masterpiece technique ranking.

“But where does this masterpiece technique come from? I can’t figure it out.

“Oh right, where did you find this masterpiece technique?”

“I found it from your clansmen. At that time, one of your phoenixes fell into a state of madness after being hit by this masterpiece technique. He went around killing people, so I immediately extracted this curse.

“Moreover, I discovered that this curse is only effective on the phoenix race, so I wanted to come and ask you to see if you know anything.”

The Phoenix Empress’s expression became even more solemn.

Her brows were tightly knitted as she stared fixedly at the masterpiece technique in Ye Xiao’s hand as if she was thinking about something.

“Could it be that someone is targeting the Phoenix god clan?

“If not, such a situation would not have occurred.

“This curse should be effective against all the god clans. It should not only be used to deal with us alone.

“It should be that someone has specially modified the technique within. But why is it specially targeting our god clan? I don’t understand.”

The Phoenix Empress’s words caused Ye Xiao to involuntarily sink into deep thought.

As one of the top god clans in the Yanhuang Great World, very few people would target the Phoenix god clan.

Could it be because of him?

Since such a situation had never happened before. However, when the relationship between the Phoenix Empress and himself was revealed, the Phoenix god clan was targeted.

It was very likely that the other party wanted to destroy the Phoenix god clan and destroy the protective umbrella supporting him.

However, that did not seem right. The protector behind him was the Phoenix Empress and not the Phoenix god clan.

Even if the other party destroyed the entire Phoenix god clan, it would not be to the extent of making the Phoenix Empress give up on him.

That was because although that curse was very strong, it was not to the extent of infecting the Phoenix Empress’s body.
