The power system has already taken shape, so Su Yu has no reason to further explore the path of fire technique, let alone let this path surpass his primary life methods and Sword Dao.
Fire, if one wants to walk a powerful path, combining it with water or ice will be faster and yield more apparent results.
However, for Su Yu, it's somewhat redundant.
Now, upon arriving in this valley, feeling the flames here, Su Yu sensed a familiar feeling.
"These fires are the Phoenix Race's Nirvana Fire." Gazing at the Nirvana Fire that fills the valley, Su Yu couldn't help but feel emotional.
Nirvana Fire does not necessarily mean it can enable a phoenix to undergo nirvana; rather, the fire itself is rich in life attributes and can heal wounds.
It has a terrifying life attribute effect for allies, while for enemies, it becomes a significant means of damage.
Nirvana Fire doesn't always mean a phoenix in nirvana, but its appearance enduring indefinitely might indicate a true fallen phoenix.
As for the Nirvana Fire filling the valley...
"The flames here are even more terrifying and intense than those in the deepest part of the Endless Volcano." Su Yu speculates: "Quite a few phoenixes must have fallen, and they are of divine level."
Directly flying into the valley, Su Yu is not burned by the flames here; instead, he's greeted with endless life energy, resonating with his Phoenix Bloodline within him.
"Indeed, there's a small space here."
Relying only on his perception, Su Yu couldn't detect the location of this space; it was only after his bloodline resonated, under a faint guidance, that he felt the call from another space.
"This space might be more advanced than I imagined."
Su Yu doesn't have much knowledge about the achievements of the First Generation Phoenix God.
The First Generation Phoenix God, similar to the Dragon God, is an entity at the level of Supreme Divine King, having reached the pinnacle in the Divine King stage, even undergoing a transformation far surpassing ordinary Divine Kings.
In the past, the First Generation Phoenix God battled the Dragon God and was ultimately killed, leading to the decline of the Phoenix Race.
However, unlike the Behemoth Race, the Phoenix Race only experienced a decline in status within the Divine Realm but did not truly face extinction.
Up to the present era, the divine position of the Phoenix God in the Divine Realm has fallen to a mere second-level god...
At this moment, Su Yu is also puzzled, wondering why the Phoenix Race's territory is a small space yet so advanced.
He confidently believes that his mastery of space is extremely high, perhaps even superior to the second-level and first-level gods in the Divine Realm.
If he were to establish a space, he is confident that not even a Divine King could surpass him.
Yet the Phoenix Race possesses such an advanced small space that even Su Yu fails to detect any abnormalities in its hidden state.
Let alone when Su Yu actively investigates, specifically aiming at detecting such a small space!
"It rivals even the Dragon Valley." Su Yu clicked his tongue, marveling at the depth of the Phoenix Race.
No wonder they are an existence of the same rank as the Dragon Race in terms of bloodline.
Indeed, the foundation of the Phoenix Race is not lacking at all.
"Perhaps the Dragon God is quite special."
According to the legends Su Yu knows, when the Dragon Race was at its peak, the strongest Dragon God, and the subsequent Nine Great Dragon Kings didn't reach their power through their own efforts but were granted part of the Dragon God's might, thereby reaching Divine King level.
This means both are strong, yet the dragon race surpasses many other races mainly because a Dragon God emerged.
Otherwise, the Dragon Race and Qilin, Phoenix, Behemoth, and other races should be equals, not differing even at the same level, as if born nobler.
However, with the Dragon God being mighty, it's certain that the Dragon Race's bloodline has been optimized, making it possibly stronger than other races.
"But the Phoenix's Bloodline Power seems still comparable to the Dragon Race..."
There is no such saying for Qilin, Behemoth, though.
Su Yu temporarily considers this due to his incomplete understanding.
He follows the guidance of his bloodline to the core of the mountain.
Space vibrates, Su Yu's "Void" rune within his Sea of Spirit resonates with the surrounding space, controlling a space.
Feeling the presence of the small space, Su Yu immediately mobilizes the Power of Space in preparation to open a space channel.
However, instead of fracturing the space, Su Yu found the existing channel so he didn't create his own, aligning the original channel before entering.
...
"Just like Dragon Valley, the Phoenix Race's small space seems to have become a tomb for the Phoenix Race."
However, the aura of the deceased divine-level Phoenix is incomparably intense but has a vitality Dragon Valley lacks.
True vitality.
"A human?" Upon descending into the small space, a phoenix with a grand aura immediately noticed him.
Su Yu's gaze turned towards the depths of the small world where a towering, fire-red phoenix rose skyward, rapidly approaching him.
He didn't panic.
Although this small space is somewhat independent of Douluo Continent and not as dilapidated as Dragon Valley, being quite intact, it is still restricted by the rules of Douluo Continent.
Unable to break through to divine level.
In the distance, that phoenix possessed merely a Fierce Beast-level aura, although a bit strong, probably reaching the level of Snow Empress.
Moreover, this space seems vaguely associated with the other; perhaps its potential power also sees it as quasi-god leveled.
Yet, all this doesn't worry Su Yu.
Soon, the phoenix arrived before Su Yu.
"Human? Soul Master?"
This phoenix apparently has seen other human Soul Masters before, instantly sensing the Soul Power aura from Su Yu.
However, unlike other Soul Masters she had encountered, Su Yu possessed a chaotic Bloodline Power.
"There are numerous bloodline auras, including my Phoenix Race, Dragon Race, and Qilin Bloodline? And what is this bloodline?" The phoenix was truly shocked at this moment.
What kind of person could gather so many top-tier bloodlines, all fused within himself.
The key is, while chaotic, they are all refined.
In terms of pure bloodline strength, the dragon race one might be at Dragon King level, and other bloodline strengths aren't weak either.
"I am a Soul Master from outside, traveling the continent, and stumbled upon this place—"
Before Su Yu could finish speaking, the enormous phoenix glanced at him, interrupting his words.
"The highest-level Soul Master outside is at most Soul Sect; are you a Titled Douluo from the Main Continent?"
Main Continent?
Su Yu grasped the meaning of the Main Continent the phoenix mentioned.
He nodded.
"You've traveled quite extensively; the Phoenix Race's territory should be far from the Main Continent."
Although the phoenix spoke quite frankly, Su Yu sensed no malice from her.
"You have the Phoenix Race's bloodline within you and seem to have fused it perfectly; as a human with our Phoenix Race's bloodline, your state aligns more closely than many generations of inherited bloodline fusion."
The Qi Blood Soul Ring method is quite unique.
"Among so much Bloodline Power, although all are top-tier, too chaotic, it's not beneficial to you."
"Rest assured, senior, I do have solutions to the myriad bloodline issues myself."
"Hmm, come with me; your Phoenix Bloodline inside you is still weak compared to your Dragon King Bloodline. Let me help you transform it."
How can the Phoenix Race's Bloodline Power be weaker than the Dragon Race?
Su Yu feels this phoenix is very enthusiastic.
"Don't worry, you possess Phoenix Race's bloodline and thus are considered part of the Phoenix Race; even if you are human, we don't mind."
My goodness, the Phoenix Race is so accepting of outsiders?
"Now, the limitations of Douluo Continent are too severe; true phoenixes, no matter how pure their bloodline, cannot break through to divinity, whereas humans with Phoenix Bloodline can." The giant phoenix looked at Su Yu in mid-air.
At this point, Su Yu understood why the attitude was so.
In essence, it's about ascension to godhood.
Becoming a god is the obsession of all Soul Beasts, including the phoenix naturally.
Given his situation, Su Yu is quite aware of his capabilities.
Despite sounding boastful, one must admit, Su Yu is the most talented across Douluo Continent, even historically.
Be it age or foundation, it's of heaven-defying level.
Moreover, possessing the Phoenix Bloodline, it's no wonder the Phoenix Race helps him.
"Your talent is strong; though it seems due to the Phoenix Bloodline you have immense vitality, I sense your age is not advanced."
"Yes, I'm twenty-one this year," Su Yu said calmly.
Ah, unwittingly over twenty already.
"You said how many?"
