Chapter 963: Chapter 0960: Phoenix Body (Third Update, Alliance Hierarch Extra 28/147)

“Oh!”

Unexpectedly, Leo firmly refused!

“Let’s talk logic. If it weren’t for you absorbing all the Volcanic Super Magic at the Doomsday Volcano Crater, the Phoenix wouldn’t have possibly failed to receive enough magic power to hatch… Of course, I don’t blame you. Unclaimed resources go to whoever seizes them first, and besides, Flame Island is my turf.”

He was rapidly engaging in a mental exchange and negotiation with Leo.

Talking logic was futile, and in the end, he had to use Red Dragon Water for the trade. As his stocks continued to dwindle, Liszt was left with just over fifty vials of Red Dragon Water.

Leo quickly laid out his final price—fifty vials.

He intended to squeeze Liszt of all his stock in one go.

“Fine!” During this critical moment, Liszt couldn’t afford to haggle. After all, both hands were his own dragons; giving the Red Dragon Water to Leo wasn’t a loss.

Quickly,

he placed his hand on the Phoenix Egg, and Leo’s Dragon Super Magic passed through his hand and flowed into the egg along the Dou Qi meridians. It was like parched earth receiving sweet rain; the Phoenix Egg felt the essence of Dragon Super Magic and began to absorb it frantically. A continuous influx of Dragon Super Magic entered the Phoenix Egg, making the golden light on the egg shine brightly again.

The Phoenix could hatch at any moment.

However, trouble struck suddenly.

Right at that instant, Leo, who was attached to Liszt’s chest, used lightning speed to rally his magic power. He not only withdrew all the leaked Dragon Super Magic but also quickly absorbed all the magic power within the egg into Liszt’s body.

Then, the essence of the Phoenix Egg began to flow towards its attached location—Leo was reneging on the deal, intending to directly devour the Phoenix Egg.

“Stop, Leo!”

Liszt had no time to express his anger at Leo’s actions. He had overestimated the good nature of the wicked dragon, thinking that appealing to its emotions, reasoning with it, and luring it with benefits would lead to compromise.

He never expected that at such a moment, Leo, driven by desire, would go back on his word.

The Phoenix Egg lost its luster at a visible rate, turning into a dull red stone the size of a soccer ball in the blink of an eye, and all its essence, along with the magic power extracted by Leo, entered Liszt’s body. Even that faint primal consciousness also entered Liszt’s body, quickly linking with his own thoughts.

He could feel that pure, untainted soul, which had yet to form a complete “Phoenix personality,” now faced with the brink of collapse.

Leo’s thoughts were brimming with greed, wanting to consume all that was the Phoenix.

Yet, in that moment, Liszt acted decisively, quickly mobilizing his Dragon Dou Qi, forcibly cutting off Leo’s magic power and quelling its avarice for the Phoenix essence.

He then attempted to reverse the flow of Dou Qi, trying to send the Phoenix essence back into the egg—being unable to incubate it for now didn’t matter; he could always try again when the opportunity arose.

Alas.

With the extraction of the Phoenix essence, the nature of the Phoenix Egg had changed and could no longer receive any magic power. The Phoenix essence, in just the snap of a finger, merged into Liszt’s own body, thoroughly integrating into every limb, every bone, permeating to the depths of his cells.

Moreover, the Phoenix’s primal soul was pulled by the power in his mind into his own soul.

His spiritual power, already empowered by the Power of Destiny, swelled even further at this moment, filling his mind with countless pieces of information.

The most tangible manifestation was in his eyes, where flames flickered and danced.

“Inheritance… Phoenix… Have I actually merged with the Phoenix, or has my body become the vessel for the rebirth of the Phoenix?”

The stream of information was too overwhelming, all imprinted with the natural instincts from the Phoenix Bloodline.

This made Liszt instantly understand what had just happened—the Phoenix, possessing the divine ability of rebirth from flames, had been outmaneuvered by Leo and, at the brink of life’s extinction, driven by instinct, it merged its divine power with Liszt’s body, hoping to be reborn through him.

What would happen after the rebirth was unknown.

Would Liszt acquire everything the Phoenix had, or would the Phoenix replace Liszt, or perhaps coexist within the same body?

However, none of this happened. The Power of Destiny intervened, the power of the Smoke Dragon that clung to Liszt’s body directly pulled the original Phoenix soul to nurture Liszt’s own soul. Thus, the Phoenix’s rebirth power went dormant and sank deep into Liszt’s body.

“What a pity, the world has lost the Phoenix…”

He sighed.

But the next moment, his eyes flared with a dazzling light, “But now, I am the Phoenix!” Immediately after, flames rose from his body.

The next second.

Liszt’s hands as if rapidly melting into flames, out of the flames emerged a pair of wings adorned with golden-yellow feathers. He beat his wings fiercely and leaped with his legs, elevating swiftly into the air, circling the spherical cavern in flight, the flames on his body becoming more intense, completely merging him with the fire.

The flames did not extinguish, but what they enveloped was no longer a human, but a golden-red Phoenix bathed in flames.

A magnificent, slender body, golden and red feathers gleaming like gemstones, overall similar to a Flame Dragon Bird, yet flames accompanied every part of the body at all times.

At its tail were not seven, but nine tail feathers made of flames.

Gold and red cast reflections off each other, flames and feathers merged into one, at this moment, the Phoenix that Liszt had transformed into was the flame, and the flame was the Phoenix.

“A marvelous sensation, a magical experience. Leo’s miscalculated scheme, although failing to hatch a Phoenix, gave me a power similar to Druid Shapeshifting!”

The essence of the Phoenix had merged into every limb and cell, much like the genetic codex of the Child of the Sun; it was likely a shift magic built at the genetic level. And his soul had conveniently devoured the Phoenix’s original soul, effortlessly wielding this power born of the Phoenix.

“Oh-ho!”

Leo, still attached to Liszt, now in the form of the Phoenix, lusted after the Phoenix’s power but could no longer seize it.

A thought crossed his mind.

Liszt retracted the power of the Phoenix, reverting to his human form. A Dou Qi Armament redressed him in clothes, to avoid any indecent exposure—even in a place devoid of people, one mustn’t carelessly reveal oneself.

He swiftly placed the now dim and lightless Phoenix Egg and the extinguished Tinderpile into his Space Ring.

Looking at the Phoenix Bloodstone on the cavern walls, he fell into contemplation.

Before long, Serpent Script formed from smoke fluttered before his eyes: “Mission failed, you have devoured the Phoenix.”

This was his second time failing a Smoke Mission, the first being the failed evolution of the Tulip Spirit Bug, and now the failed hatching of the Phoenix.

Regrettable indeed, but he had also gained a blessing in disguise, the ability to transform into a Phoenix.

“After returning, I must hasten the restrictions on Leo, completing the Mind Branding as soon as possible to avoid such situations in the future.” He couldn’t hold a grudge against Leo; an Evil Dragon was its nature, everything stemmed from its instincts—he could only blame himself for insufficient preparation, for not having complete control over Leo.

At that moment.

A new Smoke Mission was issued.

“Mission: The demise of extraordinary phenomena often heralds the transition of eras, and even destiny is subject to ceaseless change. You must learn to make the right choices amongst various changes, to grasp the laws governing the workings of the world, and ensure the legacy of the Phoenix endures. Reward: Hundred Birds Toward The Phoenix.”
