"It's somewhat unworthy for the Holy Son of Yaoguang to devour the Heavenly Emperor's son!"
Upon hearing Qin Xu's words, everyone nodded in agreement.
The name of the Immortal Emperor resounds throughout heaven and earth and is worshipped by all races. He is the only immortal God, and all people must pay homage to him.
His offspring were naturally hailed as the children of God, possessing one of the most terrifying bloodlines in the World!
While the Holy Son of Yaoguang possessed considerable talent, he was still far inferior to the Son of God. In fact, the two were on completely different levels, as different as heaven and earth!
"When did I say I wanted to become the Holy Son of Yao Guang?" Nangong Zheng said calmly, his face serene and his eyes as still as water.
"Then... what does the leader mean?" Xiang Feng asked cautiously.
The Holy Son of Yaoguang was their hand-picked successor, considered a potential emperor, and yet they just gave him up like that?
The many men in gray also fell silent, their brows furrowing slightly, some finding it hard to accept.
"Let's maintain the status quo for the Holy Son of Yaoguang for now. If he is obedient, he will not lack resources in the future and will not be mistreated. As for the Heavenly Emperor's son, I will use him for other purposes." Nangong Zheng pondered for a moment before saying this.
Hearing Nangong Zheng say this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. They were really afraid that Nangong Zheng would directly cripple the Holy Son of Yaoguang.
Nangong Zheng would never willingly grant the Holy Son of Yaoguang's wish. The Heavenly Emperor's son was destined to be his human medicine, and the fragrant fruit could only be picked by him personally; he would not allow others to touch it.
Of course, if the Holy Son of Yaoguang is obedient, he will not be short of benefits in the future. However, if he is rebellious and outwardly compliant but inwardly defiant, Nangong Zheng would not mind "humanely destroying" him.
"Leader, do we really want the Heavenly Prince to cultivate the Devouring Demon Art? If the information leaks out, we'll likely face a very difficult situation after the emergence of the Primordial Races!" Xiang Feng changed the subject to the Heavenly Prince, expressing his concerns.
"Don't worry, I've suppressed him with the Devouring Demon Jar and sealed him inside. No information will leak out, and he will never be able to cause any trouble in front of us!" Nangong Zheng said calmly.
"Besides, so what if the information has been leaked? Why should we hesitate and be timid? As long as we are strong enough, what can the ancient races do? The Ruthless lineage has nothing to fear from making enemies of the World! Nangong Zheng's expression was cold, and although his words were calm, they were arrogant and unrestrained, making everyone's hearts pound with fear. This person was indeed crazy!
However, the more ruthless and crazy Nangong Zheng became, the more these people respected him!
"Why bother targeting the juniors of a few holy lands when the Devouring Heaven Demon Art needs nourishment? In my opinion, the ancient races are the best choice! Nangong Zheng smiled and mentioned his plan. His expression was somewhat cold and murderous, making everyone feel a little uneasy.
"The ancient races are nourishment for the Devouring Heaven Demon Art!" Everyone was shocked, and their hearts were filled with turmoil. They were so shocked that they could hardly believe it.
"It's too small. Our vision is too small. The leader is right. The ancient races are all great human medicines!" Xiang Feng said excitedly.
"Our lineage, inheriting the legacy of the Ruthless Great Emperor, is destined to be enemies of the World. What harm is there in using the ancient races as nourishment?" Qin Xu was tall and imposing, with his white hair flowing freely. Yet, at this moment, an astonishing brilliance appeared in his eyes.
"In the future, our lineage will not only have someone who proves the Dao, but even someone who becomes an immortal!" Nangong Zheng smiled faintly.
The eyes of many men in gray turned fervent, awestruck by the grand vision being painted.
"That's right, our first step is to let this peerless medicinal herb, the Heavenly Prince, cultivate the Devouring Heaven Demon Art!" Nangong Zheng said.
Hua Yunfei's calm face showed some ripples, and he felt a faint expectation in his heart. If the son of the Undying Emperor became a practitioner of the Devouring Heaven Demon Art, wouldn't he be able to escape his predetermined fate?
Click!
At that very moment, the stone king that sealed the Heavenly Emperor's son suddenly cracked open, releasing a gentle divine power.
"The seal can no longer be maintained; the Heavenly Emperor's son is about to be born!" Xiang Feng exclaimed in surprise.
The stone king split open automatically, revealing a divine egg. Inside, a celestial bird could be vaguely seen, surrounded by five-colored celestial light—a truly astonishing sight.
Nangong Zheng waved his hand, his expression surging, blocking the divine light and preventing that aura from leaking out!
boom!
A giant magic jar appeared, abruptly floating in the void.
Nangong Zheng summoned the Devouring Demon Jar and sealed it above the divine egg!
Everyone was shocked. Looking at the complete Devouring Demon Jar, their faces were filled with awe. This was the first time that their remaining lineage had ever seen the complete Devouring Demon Jar!
The Devouring Demon Jar floated up and down, as if an ancient emperor had been resurrected, capable of crushing all the heavens, and hung on the divine egg!
The magic jar sealed all traces of energy; not a single trace leaked out.
Endless vital energy surged in from all directions, and the entire divine egg radiated a glow, filled with five-colored immortal mist, and emitted thousands of auspicious rays and ten thousand strands of divine light, dazzling and splendid.
At this moment, all the boundless essence in the World surged forth and frantically converged towards that place.
Everyone was shocked. Was this the offspring of the Immortal Emperor? His birth required such a terrifying aura!
Fortunately, this place was sealed off by Nangong Zheng; it would have shocked the World!
Finally, the divine egg shattered, releasing countless rays of light and auspicious radiance into the sky. A celestial phoenix emerged, enveloped in five-colored divine light. The eggshells exploded, transforming into wisps of pure essence that entered its body, becoming nourishment.
The birth of the Immortal Emperor's child!
Auspicious energy filled the air, nourishing everyone present. Everyone was shaken; the birth of the Celestial Phoenix was a sacred symbol and an auspicious omen!
"This is truly defying the heavens!" Everyone was astonished. They felt that the decaying bodies had been nourished and had actually gained some vitality.
The five-colored divine phoenix soon transformed into a porcelain doll the size of a few years old, very lively, fair and beautiful, like a celestial being.
Although he was young, he was incredibly handsome, with shining hair and a very composed demeanor. He even had a strange, ethereal charm!
What's most terrifying is that the overwhelming aura he exuded actually showed the cultivation level of a second-level immortal!
Everyone was moved. This kind of bloodline power was heaven-defying. He was born with the cultivation of a second-level immortal, which was already considered top-tier in the current Beidou.
At this moment, the porcelain doll that the five-colored phoenix had transformed into remained silent, simply staring at everyone.
"Child, you have finally been born. Do you know who I am?" Xiang Feng walked over with a smile on his face, revealing what he thought was a kind smile.
Clearly, he believed that the newborn prince was simple-minded and wanted to use this to deceive him, perhaps with some unexpected gains.
The crowd's expressions shifted slightly, a hint of anticipation in their eyes. If they could manage to trick the Emperor's son into becoming crippled, they would truly have struck gold.
"You... aren't you just a human's blood sacrifice!" The young prince spoke coldly, his voice somewhat childish, but his words were sharp and cruel!
