Unrivaled Martial Emperor-Chapter 1046 - Mysterious Man

Inside the phoenix’s nest, Qin Yao’s bloodline was undergoing nirvana.

Success meant that her bloodline would become comparable to the founder of the Ji Clan.

Ji Huang couldn’t hold in the excitement in his heart, yet worry lingered.

Because failure meant that the Nirvana Flames would reduce his clan’s brightest talent to ashes.

The terrifying Nirvana Flame not only baptized Qin Yao’s bloodline but also baptized her flesh, recasting a perfect body and fusing it even deeper with the phoenix’s fire.

Qin Yao’s pained cries echoed, her agony searing both body and soul.

Gradually, incomparably gorgeous fiery red phoenix wings appeared on her back. They spread gradually in that Nirvana Flame as if breaking out of a shell.

“Good!” Ji Huang couldn’t help but cry out loud.

The wings signified that the density of one’s bloodline was comparable to that of a real phoenix. In the Ji Clan’s ten-thousand-year history, only the founding ancestor had possessed such wings.

Many in the Ji Clan didn’t know about this, but the founding ancestor of their clan hadn’t died. The truth was that the ancestor had condensed their immortal platform and ascended to the heavenly realm as the Ji Clan’s first and only true immortal.

This secret was passed down only to the clan’s successive leaders.

The wings on Qin Yao’s back told Ji Huang that she might soon become the second true immortal to ascend.

Although he had received a phoenix’s feather and his bloodline and talent were extremely powerful, he knew his chances of forging an immortal platform and becoming a true immortal were very slim. Saying that it would be impossible wouldn’t even be an exaggeration.

The bloodline nirvana lasted a long time, but with no signs of failure, Ji Huang and Chen Fan felt greatly relieved.

Three days later, Qin Yao’s bloodline phoenix finally completed its metamorphosis. Her body blazed with phoenix flames, crying like a real phoenix. As she stepped out of the phoenix’s nest, her transformation was unmistakable.

Her white jade-like skin now glowed with a rosy tint, hints of green swirling faintly beneath the surface—a vision of perfection. She was like a goddess, lingering in people’s minds.

If she had once been slightly inferior to Lin Xian’er in beauty, now she could rival her without question.

“How are you feeling, Senior Sister?” Chen Fan immediately went up to her.

Qin Yao smiled and said, “I’m fine.”

“That’s good, then.” Chen Fan nodded.

“This matter is a clan secret. From today onward, Qin Yao will be the Ji Clan’s successor. I will personally guide her.”

Ji Huang’s dignified voice resounded in the ancestral grounds, making the minds of the crowd tremble violently.

Ji Kong, Ji Zhonglou, and the others looked at Qin Yao with envy; they understood the weight of Ji Huang’s declaration.

From now on, Qin Yao’s status in the Ji Clan would be second to only one person.

This was an order Ji Huang personally issued. No one in the entire Ji Clan could refute it.

Afterward, the group left the ancestral grounds.

As the group left the ancestral grounds, countless gazes fell on Qin Yao.

Ji Huang had already shared some details, and word had spread that Qin Yao had received the phoenix’s blessing.

None of them expected her to enter the phoenix’s nest, so this news left them shaken.

Everyone understood that she was now destined to become the future head of the Ji Clan. No one could change this reality.

Her so-called “sinful blood” status was nothing in front of the phoenix’s blessing and the bloodline nirvana.

Suddenly, a voice rang out.

“Haha, good, very good. I didn’t expect there to be a clansman with such pure bloodline in such a trash continent.”

“Who is it?!” shouted Ji Huang furiously, his expression changing drastically. A terrifying aura swept out in all directions.

The aura was so terrifying that it would heavily injure even an Invincible Legendary realm expert.

But as the aura surged toward a particular spot in space, it abruptly halted—or rather, it couldn’t advance any further.

A man seemed to step out of nothingness. Space twisted violently beneath his feet. Ji Huang’s aura was distorted into nothingness before him.

The gazes of everyone present turned grave, their expressions filled with hostility, like a great foe had arrived.

This was the Ji Clan’s forbidden land; a place with impenetrable security. Yet someone had entered unnoticed.

Ji Huang’s eyes contracted, and intense apprehension flashed in his eyes.

He couldn’t gauge the man’s strength. His aura had been effortlessly nullified; this person was far from ordinary, and his strength was not beneath Ji Huang’s.

“Who are you?” Ji Huang said in a low voice.

“Who am I?” The man chuckled lightly. His smile was extremely contemptuous. He said, “You’re not qualified to know.”

As soon as those words came out, a chilling wave of killing intent erupted from the Ji Clan experts.

Ji Huang was the cornerstone of the Ji Clan, their stabilizing force. How could they let others treat him with contempt?

“Audacious!”

“How dare you!”

Immediately, some hot-tempered Invincible Legendary realm experts rebuked.

However, this man’s expression instantly turned cold, and he shouted, “Noisy!”

A devastating sonic wave exploded forth, as fast as lightning.

Those two experts immediately felt death darting toward them. Horrified, they shouted furiously and unleashed their cultivations. Blazing flames swept out, and the aura of law covered heaven and earth, trying to resist the sonic wave.

It was useless.

The sonic wave tore through their defenses like butter, shattering everything in its path. The two were blasted backward, coughing up fresh blood as shock and disbelief clouded their faces.

They could not comprehend the sheer terror of this man.

With just a shout, he had gravely injured two Invincible Legendary realm experts, leaving them utterly powerless.

Was he a Void Immortal?

This scene also caused the expressions of the others from the Ji Clan to darken, revealing looks of astonishment.

Although those two weren’t the strongest in the Invincible Legendary realm, their cultivation was undeniable. Yet, the shout had severely injured them.

This wasn’t something a Legendary realm expert could achieve.

The only possibility... was that this man was also a Void Immortal.
