Novel Full 786 Path To Victory
Huo Fenghuang focused on her divination since it was her last chance. Otherwise, she has to rely on the Heaven Path Tribulation as a backup plan.
After a few minutes, she finally succeeded. However, the result made her frown. There were three results, and not one truly satisfied her.
The third result involved Ao Shen, to be precise, Xiao Songxi, whom he captured. The mirror revealed that Xiao Songxi possessed knowledge of a unique formation that could bring out the full power of an Emperor Artifact.
However, the formation required at least 7 people who broke the Mortal-Immortal Limit, serving as power sources of the formation. Furthermore, these people must sacrifice most of their soul, energy, blood, and life span to activate the formation.
The mirror revealed this method had the most negligible probability of success. However, after a while, this method became unavailable. Huo Fenghuang guessed it was because of Ao Shen and Xiao Songxi’s exit from the battle.
Huo Fenghuang then checked the method with the highest probability of success. This plan involved these “traitors” that have taken base on the Northern Quadrant.
However, according to the mirror’s revelation, she has a higher chance of dying before using this method. Additionally, the mirror was very vague on what method would allow him to defeat Wang Wei.
So, Huo Fenghuang finally glanced at the second and only viable method. However, the first step of this plan baffled her for a moment since it revealed she needed to acquire the soul of a particular Heaven Chosen called Mo Xingyun.
‘Mo Xingyun: Isn’t she the Heaven Devouring Emperor’s descendant? Why would her soul allow me to defeat Wang Wei? Wait…’
Huo Fenghuang felt she had caught on to a piece of important information, so her mind worked faster than usual.
‘From what I read about the Heaven Devouring Emperor, he was the kind of selfish individual who would not hesitate to leave an Imprint in his bloodline. Could he have died and taken over Mo Xingyun’s body to revive himself?’
Huo Fenghuang knew some Emperors would use the Heaven Will to accelerate the rate of their revival. However, this method is considered taboo in the Ancient Clan.
Heavenly Dao does not tolerate these Emperors messing around and wasting the Heaven Will of one generation. So, any of them who try this method does not end well. Furthermore, a Great Emperor requires excellent skills to even attempt this method since most would not even be able to enter the Heaven Will Battlefield.
‘Even if the Heaven Devouring Emperor took over Mo Xingyun’s body, he would be restricted by her body’s natural talent.’ She knew this fact would not change because the latter was an Eternal Emperor.
‘However, his essence will also change her soul.’
Her eyes became brighter. ‘If I use the correct secret technique to refine her soul, I can draw some of his Emperor’s power. By then, it will be easy for me to defeat Wang Wei.’
For a moment, she could not contain her excitement. However, Huo Fenghuang quickly calmed down; the mirror revealed this plan had a low chance of success, and she also had a high probability of dying.
‘Is there really no safer way?’ She tried to mobilize the power of the mirror and her Victor Flame. Sadly, the result did not change.
‘Do I have to give up?’ She looked at these three methods and gritted her teeth. The third method was unusable, and the first method almost guaranteed her death.
However, she still had hope for the second method.
Huo Fenghuang placed the mirror away before taking a deep breath. She used her Luck Dao to bless her with great fortune and imbued her with a unique intuition that can revert any dangerous situation.
Then, without hesitation, she headed to the Central Quadrant, where Mo Xingyun was temporarily hiding after scheming against Wang Wei’s group.
“Huo Fenghuang? Why are you here?” asked Mo Xingyun after seeing the visitor. The Heaven-Devouring Emperor had no relationship or hatred with the Ancient Clan. Well, at least, in this generation, he did not.
During his rise, he heard the Ancient Clan had someone with the bloodline of the Taotie. So, he infiltrated their clan to get his hands on that bloodline and study it.
Unfortunately, that person only had the bloodline of a Taotie’s descendant, and it was so diluted that it could barely be called such. Although he was sad he could not acquire the lineage of such a Chaos Lifeform, he did learn plenty regarding bloodline from the Ancient Clans.
It was a shame he was discovered and had to run away from the Ancient Clans, being chased everywhere. He planned to return there after proving the Dao, but he never got the chance.
“Do I need a reason to be here? You’re my enemy,” replied Huo Fenghuang.
“No, your eyes tell me you have a clear purpose in seeking me out,” replied Mo Xingyun. “Are you interested in an alliance?” She did not mind acquiring another pawn. From Huo Fenghuang’s aura, she could tell the latter was a top Heaven Chosen, thus should be very useful.
“Don’t think about it; I’m here with only one purpose–kill you.”
Mo Xingyun did not care about her killing intent. Instead, he took a moment to truly gazed at her, accessing her appropriately.
‘The Five Sacred Beast Bloodlines?’ thought the Heaven Devouring Emperor as greed flashed in his eyes.
When he was young, he had an ambitious dream–to cultivate all 3800 Great Dao and combine them into the ultimate Dao–Chaos Dao. Only with such a Dao could he be invincible in the world and not have to worry about someone ever killing or humiliating him.
Unfortunately, before he could pursue this dream, his teacher–Shi Fuyu–destroyed it. The old monk told him about the Supreme Outlaws and the terrible trial.
After knowing the truth, the Heaven Devour Emperor became conflicted. Some part of him was scared about this trial and did not want to take the risk. The other resented his teacher because knowledge of the trial would increase the difficulty.
So, after thinking about it for a long time, he realized fate was in his favor. He practiced the Devouring Dao because of his lack of talent. Although he had excellent comprehension, this thing would only be helpful in the latter stages.
However, the Heaven Devour Emperor’s Devour Dao was the solution to his dream; he wanted to cultivate it to the pinnacle before Devouring people who cultivated the other 3000 Great Daos and 800 Side Door Daos.
Then, he would be able to control the power of Chaos without worrying about the Supreme Outlaw Trial.
‘There is no way to know whether True Heavenly Dao would allow me to use this method to bypass the trial. However, there is a reassured way with no trouble–Chaos Innate Law.’
The Heaven Devouring Emperor knew Innate Demon Gods were still favored and blessed by Heaven and Earth despite their current pitiful situation. As such, they had some privileges that guaranteed their noble status.
Of course, these privileges also caused them tremendous trouble. Many races and powerful entities also want to acquire these privileges, and these people are powerful enough to ignore the Innate Demon God’s race strength and status.
‘I can swallow her Sacred Beast Bloodline to condense the seed of my Chaos Bloodline,’ calculated the Heaven-Devouring Emperor. ‘The entire Ancient Clan is a perfect material to cultivate the Chaos Bloodline after reviving myself and returning to my peak state.’
The Heaven-Devouring’s eyes secretly lit up.
‘The only thing I need to worry about is whether some old guy tempered with her bloodline.’
He secretly sneered.
‘With my method, it will be easy to deal with their Imprints. The real issue is whether one of her ancestors became Empyreans or Paragons, leaving some means in her bloodline as protection.’
After his death, the Heaven-Devouring Emperor became calmer and more cautious, thinking deeper about his actions. He knew how scary the powerhouses of the upper dimension were.
Although most would not care about their descendants or factions in the lower dimension once they reached a certain level or lived for long enough, others do and will actively help.

“Is there no room for negotiation?” asked Mo Xingyun as all these thoughts swiftly flashed in her mind.
“What do you think?” replied Huo Fenghuang with disgust. Her intuition told her this person was a smiling wolf. Furthermore, the latter did not even hide his desire to swallow her.
So, without the desire to continue this conversation, she summoned her troops. Huo Fenghuang did not want to fight directly; she wanted to observe first to see if she could discover how her opponent could threaten her life.
Based on aura alone, she already judged her strength was on par, if not greater, than Mo Xingyun.
The Heaven Devour Emperor looked at this legion with a frown. Most of the soldiers wore red armor and had a flame mark on their foreheads.
‘Are they all blessed with the Phoenix’s Immortality?’
He knew things would be complicated if that were true.
