Chapter 1926: Chapter 2023: The Gifts of the Four Great Exotic Beasts

"The First Generation is dead, our mission is completed, and now we should return to dust." The Divine Phoenix spoke, its voice carrying a deep sense of weakness and fatigue.

Even the Divine Phoenix, with the Nirvana Secret Skill, couldn’t use this technique to extend its life after this battle. Had it not been slumbering beneath the great ocean all these years, it would have completely perished in ancient times.

The same situation applied to the other three Exotic Beasts, especially the True Dragon, which had already died. The Heavenly Beast awakened its Demon Bone and combined it with Fang Lin’s True Dragon’s flesh and blood, allowing it to live briefly.

Now, with their power exhausted, the four major Exotic Beasts were on the verge of death.

"The grace of the four seniors, people of future generations will never dare forget," Fang Lin said, cupping his fists and bowing to the four Exotic Beasts.

"Transcended one, we can no longer fight, but your mission is not yet finished. The Ancient Spirit of Mountain Tu is the first life born of the Eternal Divine Mountain, possessing unimaginable power. Only a true transcender has the ability to defeat it." The Kunpeng said.

Fang Lin and the Great Sage Equal to Heaven were both startled by these words, especially Fang Lin. Could it be that by becoming a transcended one, only he could defeat the Ancient Spirit of Mountain Tu? This seemed too exaggerated, even the terrifying existence that multiple Martial Lords of the Human Clan couldn’t solve, how could he possibly bear such a weighty responsibility?

"I’m not very clear on this, I hope the four seniors can guide me," Fang Lin asked, it seemed these four Exotic Beasts knew many things, so naturally he had to quickly ask while he could.

The Kylin answered, "The Ancient Spirit of Mountain Tu possesses an undying body, but its soul cannot endure forever, whereas you are its opposite, your soul has already transcended, but your body cannot endure. Only when your body also reaches the level of the Ancient Spirit of Mountain Tu can you defeat it, freeing all living beings from its threat."

"So, the Ancient Spirit of Mountain Tu is actually an Immortal Body?" Fang Lin asked in surprise.

The Kylin said, "Indeed, it is an Immortal Body, and you have an Undying Soul. But you are still too weak, not to mention facing the Ancient Spirit of Mountain Tu, any Ancient Spirit Incarnation can easily erase your soul and take your Transcendental Elixir."

Fang Lin nodded, with a somewhat solemn expression, "If I were killed, and an Ancient Spirit Incarnation gained the Transcendental Elixir, would the soul of the Ancient Spirit of Mountain Tu also transcend, becoming a being with both an undying body and soul?"

"That is correct," the Kunpeng replied in a low voice.

Fang Lin let out a light breath, it seemed destined that he would have an all-deciding battle with the Ancient Spirit of Mountain Tu, though he never thought it would be this way before.

"No, the first generation is dead, with one less Ancient Spirit Incarnation. Can the Ancient Spirit of Mountain Tu still appear?" the Great Sage Equal to Heaven suddenly asked.

The True Dragon looked at it and said, "The Ancient Spirit Incarnations are like avatars of the Ancient Spirit of Mountain Tu, its original body still exists. As long as the original is not destroyed, even if all the Incarnations die, the Ancient Spirit of Mountain Tu can still reappear, though the death of its Incarnations will affect it."

The Great Sage Equal to Heaven furrowed its brows slightly, asking no more questions.

Instead, the four major Exotic Beasts all looked at the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, with the Divine Phoenix speaking: "Contemporary Great Sage, your bloodline is in no way inferior to ours, possibly even exceeding us in potential. With you protecting the Demon Beast tribe, we have nothing to worry about, nor have anything to give you."

"I don’t need anything," the Great Sage Equal to Heaven said indifferently.

Fang Lin glanced at the Great Sage Equal to Heaven sideways, if it were him, he would wish to obtain some gifts from these four major Exotic Beasts.

Yet the True Dragon spoke again, "Transcended one, there is power within you that shares my source, so I can leave you something."

The Kylin also added, "I sense a familiar aura from you, I too have a gift for you."

Fang Lin was momentarily stunned, then filled with joy, and said directly without any reluctance, "Thank you to the two seniors."

"Since both of them are leaving gifts for you, I won’t be stingy either," the Kunpeng interjected.

The Divine Phoenix didn’t speak, but it was the most direct. A drop of golden blood flew from the center of its forehead, coming before Fang Lin.

"This is my last drop of Lifeline Blood, I hope you make good use of it." After speaking, the golden fire on the Divine Phoenix extinguished completely, turning into a red ray, soaring into the sky and disappearing.

The last ancient Divine Phoenix in the world vanished into smoke and clouds.

The Kunpeng opened its mouth and regurgitated the Ancient Demon Ridge, which it had previously swallowed. With a tremendous crash, it fell to the ground.

Fang Lin and the Great Sage Equal to Heaven immediately sensed that the horde of demons within the Ancient Demon Ridge and all from the Sky Swallowing Palace were unharmed, their presences still intact.

"My Demon Core, I will leave it with you." The Kunpeng spat out a blue Demon Core, then its massive body split into two, one becoming the great Kun and the other the Sky Roc.

The former entered the sea becoming vast waters, the latter soared into the sky transforming into clouds.

The Kylin let out a long cry, and its two Kylin Horns broke off simultaneously, turning into two rainbows flying before Fang Lin.

"I sense that there are still descendants of my Kylin lineage in the world. If all beings survive the catastrophe, perhaps you can find my descendants," the Kylin spoke earnestly.

Fang Lin cupped his fists, "I will not fail the trust of the senior."

The Kylin smiled softly, its body suddenly scattering into countless light particles, dispersing in all directions.

The True Dragon, after a moment of silence, spoke no more, opening its mouth to release a white light orb which slowly landed in Fang Lin’s hand.

"This is my Dragon Core, may you secure a chance for all living beings," the True Dragon concluded, its flesh and bones separating, the True Dragon’s Incarnation returning to Fang Lin’s body, whilst the enormous True Dragon skeleton collapsed, incapable of supporting such a massive structure without its power.

Fang Lin waved his hand, collecting the True Dragon skeleton and burying it in the depths of the earth.

As for the gifts left by the four major Exotic Beasts, Fang Lin carefully gathered them, feeling immense joy within.

The Great Sage Equal to Heaven seemed not envious, having already received the Sacred Tree’s gift, with its bloodline fully awakened, its strength growing rapidly, needing none of the four Exotic Beasts’ power.

Moreover, as the contemporary Great Sage, it couldn’t accept the power of the four exotic beasts, this was not only due to bloodline reasons but was also a tradition among the Demon Beast tribe from ancient times.

"Let’s first transport the Ancient Demon Ridge back to its original place," the Great Sage Equal to Heaven said. With a push of its foot, it lifted the entire Ancient Demon Ridge in its hand, Fang Lin following along as they returned to where it belonged.

Where the Demon Clan’s Sacred Tree is, there lies the Ancient Demon Ridge, a rule never broken by the Demon Beast tribe through countless ages.
