People in Doupo: The beginning of the game intercepts the rich woman Xun'er

As the purple and gold light around Zi Yan gathered more and more violently, Xiao Ling keenly noticed that the surging energy was gradually condensing and taking shape behind her.

The deep purple energy slowly hooked and stretched as if it had life, and finally transformed into the shadow of an ancient Taixu dragon behind Zi Yan.

On the other side, the blazing golden energy was not to be outdone. It also condensed and took shape, forming the illusion of an ancient celestial phoenix.

One purple and the other gold, the phantoms of dragons and phoenixes faced each other from afar. They seemed to be fated enemies, emitting a tense aura. Every line was full of tension, as if they were about to collide fiercely in the next moment and tear this space apart completely.

Yet, astonishingly, they never erupted. Instead, they seemed to be pulled by some invisible force, maintaining a strange balance. The dragon's shadow remained motionless, and the phoenix's shadow was also still, each suspended in a strange scene of intertwined movement and stillness.

However, just as the phantoms of the dragon and phoenix were hovering around Zi Yan and began to transform their respective tremendous energies into starlight, trying to merge back into her body, something strange happened again.

The phantoms of the Ancient Sky Phoenix and the Taixu Ancient Dragon, which seemed to be maintaining a delicate balance, suddenly erupted with vast ocean-like purple energy from her body the moment they touched the surface of Zi Yan's body!
This energy seemed to be resonated with the shadow of the ancient Taixu dragon behind him.

In an instant, the purple dragon shadow suddenly condensed, its body became more solid, and its scales, claws, and horns were all lifelike. A pressure far exceeding the previous one spread out, and it was so majestic that it directly suppressed the ancient sky phoenix phantom in momentum.

As a result, the originally fragile balance was instantly broken, the two energies lost coordination, and began to intertwine and collide disorderly, making the energy atmosphere above the entire altar become somewhat chaotic.

Xiao Ling frowned slightly and his heart tightened. He could clearly see that a barely perceptible look of pain flashed across Zi Yan's face as she sat cross-legged. Her tightly closed brows were even slightly furrowed, showing the discomfort she was experiencing at the moment.

"What on earth is going on?" Xiao Ling's brows knitted together upon seeing this scene, his heart filled with confusion. He couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Could it be that there's something wrong with this Ninth Rank Heavenly Demon Phoenix Core itself, causing this abnormal change? Or is there some unknown abnormality lurking within Zi Yan's body?"

The current situation was completely beyond his expectations, and he seemed a little helpless about it. After all, Xiao Ling did not have a deep understanding of the information related to the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit.

However, he keenly noticed that the shadow of the purple Taixu ancient dragon was getting stronger, while the shadow of the ancient sky phoenix seemed a little dim.

As for the reason behind this, Xiao Ling had a rough guess in his mind:
"I think it's because Zi Yan is a descendant of the Taixu Ancient Dragon, so the purple ancient dragon energy in her body is more compatible with her, producing this wonderful amplification effect when absorbing and fusing it. But obviously, Zi Yan's current state is far from sufficient to perfectly fuse these two completely different energies, which led to the imbalance and disorder just now."

He thought to himself that the most critical issue at the moment was how to help Zi Yan stabilize the unbalanced energy so that she could get through this safely.

Xiao Ling's mind raced as he thought to himself, with Zi Yan's current strength, she couldn't perfectly harmonize and absorb this tremendous energy containing the power of the dragon and phoenix. So how could she, whose cultivation was far inferior to hers in the original timeline, possibly do this?

Perhaps it was because Zi Yan at that time was also unable to control these violent energies, causing them to crystallize in her body.

Only then will it be necessary to use the powerful refining power of the strange fire to refine and purify these energies again, remove the impurities and conflicts in them, and make them stable and precise.

Only in this way, the energy after being tempered by the strange fire will not have the so-called "balance" problem, and Zi Yan only needs to rely on the powerful talent of her Dragon Emperor bloodline to refine and absorb it to the best of her ability.

After absorbing and refining all the energy refined by the strange fire, the benefits Zi Yan gained were obvious.

Not only did her cultivation level improve significantly, breaking through to the realm of three-star Dou Sheng in one fell swoop, but more importantly, her own bloodline also underwent an unprecedented transformation, evolving into the truly supreme bloodline in the Warcraft world, the Supreme Dragon Phoenix!

Such transformation and gains are undoubtedly extremely impressive and astonishing, fully proving the terrifying transformation and improvement effects of the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit. All these effects live up to the reputation of this natural treasure.

However, when Xiao Ling's gaze once again fell on Zi Yan who was now caught in the energy storm, some guesses and speculations arose in his mind.

An indescribable feeling lingered in his heart, making him feel that if Zi Yan could successfully reconcile and absorb these two powerful energies originating from the Taixu Ancient Dragon and the Ancient Sky Phoenix, and achieve perfect balance and fusion, then the benefits she would ultimately obtain might far exceed those obtained in the original timeline.

After all, in the original timeline, Zi Yan was able to advance by absorbing energy that was crystallized and then refined by the strange fire. Although the effect was good, it was a decision she made only when she had no other choice given the situation at the time.

What's more, this time, in order to help Zi Yan survive this disaster, the energy he prepared was far more than before.

The pure energy and terrifying power contained in the ninth-level Sky Demon Phoenix Demon Core are of self-evident value and will surely be of great benefit to Zi Yan.

Furthermore, Xiao Ling pondered, it was obvious that all these arrangements were not made on a whim.

Since the old Dragon Emperor, who has lived for who knows how many years, has laid out this plan so carefully, it must contain his well-thought-out plan.

Preventing Zi Yan from falling into a dangerous and difficult-to-control situation like energy crystallization due to her own lack of strength, and protecting Zi Yan's safety, is certainly one of the important considerations.

But on a deeper level, he must have included allowing Zi Yan to more fully and thoroughly bring out the ultimate effectiveness of this Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit within the scope of his considerations and layout.

Behind all these arrangements, there must be reasons and profound meanings that cannot be ignored.

And now, Xiao Ling's mind is clear. What he has to do is to do his best to help Zi Yan at this moment, guide and assist her to completely master the two violent energies, and finally absorb them properly and use them for her own benefit.

So, what is the most critical and indispensable aid to achieve this goal? Xiao Ling almost didn't have to think about it, the answer was already there.

There was no doubt that it was the ninth-rank Heavenly Demon Phoenix Demon Core that he brought with him!
This magic core containing the ultimate power of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix may be the key to breaking the deadlock, helping Zi Yan regain control of the situation, and even ultimately perfectly integrating the two energies.

Having made up his mind, Xiao Ling no longer hesitated and immediately took action.

He waved his hand lightly, and the dazzling ninth-order Heavenly Phoenix Demon Core seemed to be lifted by an invisible force, slowly floating towards Zi Yan's side. To be more precise, it floated towards the direction of the ancient Heavenly Phoenix phoenix behind her.

As the magic core gradually approached until it hovered less than a few inches away from the phantom of the Heavenly Phoenix, Xiao Ling could clearly feel that the momentum of the phantom of the ancient Heavenly Phoenix suddenly rose to a higher level.

However, this improvement seemed to quickly reach a certain limit, and could not advance any further. Although the Heavenly Phoenix phantom was much more solid and powerful than before, it was still inferior to the increasingly majestic and powerful Taixu Ancient Dragon phantom, which was constantly strengthened by the vast purple ancient dragon energy within Zi Yan's body. It was clearly at a disadvantage, firmly suppressed, and could not be shaken in the slightest.

Seeing this, Xiao Ling's eyes, which had originally held a hint of anticipation, were now quickly clouded with doubt. He pondered inwardly, wondering what exactly was causing this.

Could it be that the quality of this ninth-order Heavenly Demon Phoenix Demon Core is not enough to break the current balance?

This thought flashed through his mind, but he quickly rejected it. This shouldn't be the case, Xiao Ling thought to himself.

This magic core is of genuine ninth grade. Its owner was a top-notch warrior who looked down upon all the heroes in the Douqi Continent. The power of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix's origin contained in this magic core is absolutely pure and powerful, which should be enough.

Why, even now, is it still impossible for the Sky Phoenix Shadow to rival the Grand Void Ancient Dragon? The reason behind this is truly puzzling.

However, Xiao Ling did not give up. He immersed his mind again and conducted a more detailed investigation of the magic core and the energy flow between the two shadows.

Not long after, the doubts in his heart were finally resolved and the crux of the problem was found.

It turned out that although this ninth-order Heavenly Demon Phoenix Demon Core did contain tremendous energy, and its source was the Heavenly Phoenix lineage, it resonated and responded to a certain extent with the phantom of the ancient Heavenly Phoenix, which strengthened the phantom.

However, this resonance only remained at the most superficial level of connection. The energy in the magic core was not effectively absorbed and transformed by the ancient sky phoenix phantom, let alone generating continuous and powerful energy feedback to support and strengthen it.

On the other hand, the shadow of the Grand Void Ancient Dragon was a completely different story. Not only was it able to resonate with the Grand Void Ancient Dragon bloodline flowing through Zi Yan's body at the deepest level, it could also actively assimilate and absorb some of the surrounding energy, thereby continuously enhancing its own power and stability.

This made the dragon shadow more solid and powerful, and it firmly gained the upper hand.

In short, Xiao Ling now realized that the key to the problem was that he must find a way to make the energy in this Sky Demon Phoenix Demon Core truly accepted and absorbed by the phantom of the Ancient Sky Phoenix, and effectively converted into its power, so that a balance can be gradually established between it and the phantom of the Taixu Ancient Dragon, so that the two are no longer in a one-sided situation.

And such an arrangement is exactly the core issue that needs to be solved most at present.

As for how to allow the energy in the Demonic Core of the Sky Demon Phoenix to be fully absorbed by the phantom of the ancient Sky Phoenix?
This question lingered in Xiao Ling's mind. He thought about it for a while, and soon, a clear idea emerged in his mind.

On the Douqi Continent, there were few energy problems that could not be solved by the Strange Fire. Since simple energy resonance was not enough, further catalysis and guidance were required.

Xiao Ling had a plan in mind. He could refine this Heavenly Demon Phoenix Demon Core using the strange fire he controlled.

The strange fire possesses pure energy that can sort out and purify the power in the magic core, making it easier for the phantom to accept it.

After the energy in the magic core has been tempered and reshaped by the strange fire, it will be passed on to the phantom of the ancient sky phoenix. In this way, the phantom will be able to absorb and transform this power more smoothly and efficiently.

In this way, the effect of significantly enhancing the Sky Phoenix Phantom and greatly improving its performance can be achieved.

And this should be the most inappropriate key decision to solve the current dilemma.

He did it as soon as he thought of it. The next moment, as Xiao Ling's mind moved, a strange fire with a main body of cyan and gold jumped out of his body.

This strange fire emitted an extremely high temperature, but under Xiao Ling's exquisite control, not a single bit of it spread out.

Xiao Ling controlled the strange fire and quickly pounced towards the ninth-level Heavenly Demon Phoenix Demon Core.

At the same time, the strange fire quickly completely enveloped the magic core.

However, it is a ninth-level magic core after all, and its quality is so high that it is naturally not so easy to refine.

Xiao Ling also had no intention of saving the Dou Qi in his body. He continuously transferred the vast Dou Qi to the strange fire that was wrapping around the Demon Core of the Sky Demon Phoenix.

With the support of Xiao Ling's powerful fighting spirit, the power of the strange fire became more and more terrifying.

Soon, the Sky Demon Phoenix Demon Core reacted, and streams of pure golden energy emanated from the Demon Core.

Seeing this, Xiao Ling was about to control the energy and direct it towards the direction of the ancient sky phoenix's shadow.

However, what was unexpected was that the ancient phoenix's shadow seemed to have sensed something, and it opened its mouth and absorbed all the energy into its body.

His figure also became much more solid in an instant, and his aura also increased accordingly.

As if sensing the changes in its body, the ancient phoenix's shadow let out a sharp cry, as if venting its joy.

However, as if feeling provoked, the shadowy figure of the Great Void Ancient Dragon suddenly roared. This roar was so powerful that it completely shattered the little momentum that the Ancient Sky Phoenix had previously gathered.

However, the shadow of the ancient Sky Phoenix gradually condensed and became more and more imposing with the energy of the Sky Demon Phoenix's magic core. It was indeed not fake and could not be ignored at all.

Seeing this, Xiao Ling raised an eyebrow, a surge of joy welling up inside him. It seemed the method of refining with a different kind of fire was indeed effective. His initial worries gradually eased somewhat. (End of Chapter)
