Chapter 1218 - If there is an afterlife

Translator: Aran

As the Celestial Phoenix Maiden’s hands went deep into the swirling smoke, her palms were blazing.

It was the fire of Phoenix Nirvana.

It was a flame that seemed to contain magical power, burning in the green smoke. Like reigniting ashes that had not completely extinguished, the green smoke that was about to fade unexpectedly erupted with new sparks.

“How would I not know about the relationship between the Phoenix Race and the Unmoving City of Darkness? I am the present Empress of the Phoenix Race.” The Celestial Phoenix Maiden\'s tears were glistening like pearls. She looked at the distant battlefield full of reluctance, like the expression that Song Xiaojun had before she lost consciousness——Perhaps her unwillingness to part was even greater than that of Song Xiaojun.

Her hands were burning, her fair, and beautiful palms, like fuel, were engulfed by the raging flames.

The qi and blood in her body were flowing out from the burning flame, injected into the swirling smoke, and then the Phoenix blood gradually integrated with the green smoke, transforming into a black light with splashes of red. The sparks that were sputtering out were suggestive that some strange changes were happening.

“The Phoenix Race is originally a branch of the royal bloodline of the Unmoving City of Darkness. It was the descendants of the ancient True Phoenix who once ruled the Unmoving City of Darkness. If there wasn\'t that betrayal back then, now, I might have to call you little sister?”

The Celestial Phoenix Maiden muttered in a low voice, speaking of a mysterious secret that no one knew.

The entanglement between the Phoenix Race and the Unmoving City of Darkness had been going on for thousands of years. The killing and hatred for many generations had made these two races appear like sworn enemies. But in truth, only very few people know that these two opposing forces in the eyes of the world had the same ancestry and blood countless years ago. The Phoenix can undergo nirvana to obtain tremendous power, and once the blood of the King of the Unmoving City of Darkness was stimulated it also resembles undergoing Nirvana. One would lose their memory, but also obtain powers unimaginable to ordinary people. This new life, is that not also a form of Nirvana?

The Celestial Phoenix Maiden had already become the King of the Phoenix Race a year ago.

The Empress of the Phoenix Race.

Although the Phoenix Race had always been under the control of others, the fate of the race was extremely tragic. The truth and record of the past history had long been deliberately destroyed in the long river of history. However the blood connection was not something that can be erased by schemes and power. The Celestial Phoenix Maiden, for the fate of the clan, had accepted the curse of the bloodline. Not only was she controlled, she had to forcibly activate the blood of ancient True Phoenix. At the same time, her strength also rapidly increased, and the blood, which contains the fragments of memory of her ancestors, also began to recover.

She knew about the relationship between the Phoenix Race and the Unmoving City of Darkness the moment she regained consciousness.

In truth, in the past endless years, not only did the Unmoving City of Darkness attempted to dig out the truth, they also detected some clues and thought of ways to lift the controlling curse from the Phoenix Race. In fact, the Phoenix Race had also reflected and pondered over this modified history. The generations of heaven’s prideling experts of the Phoenix Race, although never completely awakened like the Celestial Phoenix Maiden and regained the power and memory of their bloodline, still obtained some clues from the bloodline and began to suspect...

It was just that the fate of the Phoenix Race was in the hands of others, and once someone found out the truth, they would be killed. They had no choice but to endure it.

The opportunity that the Celestial Phoenix Maiden had can be considered unique.

At the most critical time, she had awakened the true ancestral power, vaguely stepped into the realm of the Martial Emperor, and became aware of the truth——It was almost impossible to suppress and modify the bloodline memory of the Emperor realm expert.

In this situation, how can the Celestial Phoenix Maiden really kill Song Xiaojun?

Through the bloodline of the ancient times, they were once from the same ancestors, the same race. If it weren’t for the distorted history and the earth-shaking betrayal, they would have been the two most outstanding pair of the present Phoenix Race, and also would be known as sisters.

“The suffering inflicted on the Phoenix Race throughout history is too much. The blood that flowed because of the killings that resulted under manipulation is too much. My dear sister, we cannot continue in this way. Since the one he loves is you, then you should be the one to change this damn fate.”

A hint of warmth surfaced onto the Celestial Phoenix Maiden\'s face.

The bloodline of the ancient True Phoenix in her body was slowly stimulated, flowing from her blood vessels, spread to her hands, flowed out, and turned into a blazing flame. First it was the blood in the heart, then the other organs, and finally all the blood in each blood vessel gathered to her burning palm and transformed into a floating ball of blood.

The action of drawing out all the blood of the body was similar to what Song Xiaojun experienced before. It was the most brutal torture in the world. The suffering was something that ordinary people cannot imagine.

However, the Celestial Phoenix Maiden still wore a warm smile.

The transformed ball of blood seemed to be human form.

“Oh... my dear sister, since you and I both possess the most powerful bloodline of the Phoenix Race, then today, let\'s together reverse the fate of the Phoenix Race. Let the True Phoenix blood that had been forcibly stripped away from each other for endless years reunite in our hands once again!”

With the hands that were blazing with the fire of the True Phoenix, the Celestial Phoenix Maiden began to form a string of mysterious hand seals that had disappeared from the heaven and earth for countless years.

Her fingers were slim and delicate, and her hand was fair.

The ten fingers slowly transformed, like the heart of a graceful girl, was captivating and fascinating. It was as beautiful and extremely mysterious as an illusion.

The hand seal techniques, like sparkling and graceful petals in the spring breeze, were constantly struck into the ball of blood fluttering under the smoke.

A force that had disappeared from the world for countless years began to slowly grow.

The complexion of the Celestial Phoenix Maiden grew paler with every hand seal that was launched out.

This was the transformation of her life and soul into the Phoenix Race\'s most supreme power, and instilled into the ball of blood.

And with each hand seal, the blood in the smoke quivered and jumped, taking the form of a human. The limbs, skull, waist, chest and abdomen were gradually developing.

“The god of the ancestors, the spirit of my veins, with my blood, with her spirit, reshape the True Phoenix!”

The Celestial Phoenix Maiden\'s face was as white as snow, beads of sweat slipping down her forehead, and even her whole body began to tremble. However, her expression turned solemn. She continued to exhaust the strength of the entire body to launch out the last few hand seals.

The hand seals of the True Phoenix penetrated into the human-shaped blood, underwent a drastic change, before the blood suddenly throbbed frantically and eventually took the form of a lifelike figure. It was almost exactly the same as how Song Xiaojun looked before her death, except that the surface was completely blood-red. The facial features, hair and brows were unclear, but there were already traces of vitality slowly diffusing out.

In contrast, the Celestial Phoenix Maiden was like a withered flower. She had lost all her spiritual aura and brilliance all of a sudden. Her skin was shriveled and dried, eyes turbid, and even her bright dazzling long hair had dimmed to a yellow colour!

A heaven\'s prideling maiden of matchless beauty had sacrificed her everything.

“Draw blood... break bones!”

The Celestial Phoenix Maiden, looking at the blooming human in front that gradually grew clearer, bellowed with the last of her strength.

Her muscles and bones were beginning to make slight cracking sounds, and because all the blood had been pumped away, her body resembled a branch that had lost all its water content, emitting clusters of white mist.

Every bit of her flesh, blood and bones that was ruptured and destroyed, the blood figure that bore a remarkable resemblance to Song Xiaojun grew clearer and stronger and with greater life force.

The law of conservation of mass.

Creation must be exchanged with a loss.

This was the most unbreakable truth in the great Dao of heaven and earth.

The figure of the Celestial Phoenix Maiden gradually dissipated.

But she was indifferent to the dispersing of her body and soul.

She turned her head back again.

A pair of already dim eyes, with unprecedented astonishing beauty, looked in the direction of the fierce battle in the distance. Ye Qingyu\'s figure that was covered in blood was faintly discernible. Looking at his figure, her eyes were full of reluctance. If there was something in this world that the peerless and beautiful heaven\'s prideling maiden could not give up on in addition to the fate of her race then that would be this Heaven Wasteland Domain man.

“Brother Qingyu, all this, is for you... The terror of the Sky Emperor is not just today. Only the birth of the real power of the True Phoenix can help you restrain the Sky Emperor and pass this calamity of life and death. Originally, I can choose to devour the blood of Xiaojun, transform her blood and essence, and let the bloodline of the Emperor of Darkness to fuse with me. That will allow me to step into the true Emperor realm to fight side by side with you, but... but she is the person you love. It is not me. Although you don\'t love me, but I love you. I do not want to become a vicious woman in your heart. Since you love Xiaojun, then I will support her, support you two... Haha, Brother Qingyu, in addition to younger sister Xiaojun, I can also die for you. I wasn’t brave enough to express my true feelings, so perhaps only in this way can I really be forever remembered in Brother Qingyu\'s heart!”

A tear rolled down from the corner of the Celestial Phoenix Maiden\'s eye.

That tear was sparkling and brighter than any gem in the world. Just like the soul of the peerless Heaven\'s prideling maiden, it was so pure, so perfect, and so heartbreaking!

Love once begun, will never end.

She also did not know when had her iceberg-like heart melted because of such a man.

It was just that... loving a person was really too painful.

“Brother Qingyu, if I met you before Xiaojun, then will fall in love with me?”

“Also, Younger sister Xiaojun, I\'ll tell you a little secret. In truth, I did not need you to drain and transform all the blood in your body. You did not need to bear the worst pain in the world. I can still transfer the bloodline of the True Phoenix into your body, and let you obtain the perfect power of the ancient True Phoenix, but...”

“Haha, just think of it as the little final jealousy of an unloved woman.”

“Since I support you, I also want you to have a taste of the pain I have to bear first. I want you to know that, in this world, it’s not just you who is willing to bear this pain for him. I want to let you know that the pain I have to bear is a lot greater than what you have to..."

“Perhaps you will really cherish him after suffering all this. Perhaps, between the responsibility of the Emperor of Darkness on your shoulder and him, you would not hesitate to choose him this time!”

“Now, goodbye, my Brother Qingyu!”

“If there is an afterlife, I hope to meet you before anyone else.”

“Goodbye, my little sister Xiaojun.”

“If there is an afterlife, my choice must be to kill you, to support myself.”

The last rupturing noise sounded from the cloud of white smoke.

The last trace of the Celestial Phoenix Maiden\'s presence dissipated among the starry sky.

At the same time, the blood shadow had completely reshaped into a new Song Xiaojun. She opened her eyes, tears uncontrollably streaming down, sobbing, “No...”

She never really died.

From the beginning till now, she had ‘heard’ and ‘saw’ everything the Celestial Phoenix Maiden had done.

She had experienced a true sense of the Nirvana of the Phoenix Race and had gained the power of the true ancestors. However, all of this was a selfless gift from someone who she mistakenly thought was a cold and despicable woman.

Her older sister! ——
