Chapter 412: Chapter 412 The Legend of the White Bird
"The skill of the Inheritance Fan is quite impressive!" Lin Shen watched the Contrarian brutally beating the Golden Unicorn Beetle, feeling secretly delighted.
Just moments ago, the Golden Unicorn Beetle could still exchange blows with the Contrarian, but now it was being completely dominated.
Because of the negative effects, the once-mighty bodies of Golden Mountain and the Golden Unicorn Beetle had become much more fragile, hardly able to withstand the fierce attacks from the Contrarian.
When the Super Base Change finished its final cooldown and took shape, the Contrarian landed a punch that blasted apart the already damaged Golden Mountain, scattering the Life Essence within, which the Contrarian absorbed into his body.
With the Life Base shattered, the Golden Unicorn Beetle was like struck by lightning, completely unable to fend off the offensive of the Contrarian, who smashed its head with a few punches.
"Killing a Tenth Turn Mutated Ascension Gold Devouring Unicorn..." Lin Shen saw the prompt just as the Contrarian turned into particles and retreated back into his body.
The spiritual power of a Tenth Turn Life Base had entered her, causing her to re-enter a Rebirth State.
"So it was a Tenth Turn mutation; no wonder it was so hard to kill." Lin Shen felt a twinge of regret. He had wanted to see what kind of Base Talent Golden Mountain had, but the Contrarian had simply blasted it apart.
Without any time to think further, he pulled out his water bag to collect the Ascension Liquid from the Gold Devouring Unicorn. After all, this was Tenth Turn Mutated Ascension Liquid, incomparable in boosting the Base Mutation rate.
Evolution Theory within Lin Shen's body kept running wildly, but his body showed no sign of reverting, which made him somewhat worried.
If he had to spend the rest of his life like this, wouldn't it be utterly depressing?
As he collected the Ascension Liquid, Lin Shen suddenly noticed that the Gold Devouring Unicorn's belly was slightly swollen, as if something was there.
"Could it be that it's eaten too many Vajra Bulls, and its stomach has swelled?" wondered Lin Shen. He reached out to feel it but couldn't determine what it was.
After thinking for a moment, he transformed the fan into a Light Sword, sliced open the abdomen of the Golden Unicorn Beetle, and a Pet Egg rolled out from the incision.
"Pet Eggs!" Lin Shen was overjoyed. This was a Tenth Turn Mutated Ascension Pet Egg; the creature that hatched from it would at least be a Mutated Ascension.
Thinking about the Innate Skills of the Gold Devouring Unicorn, which were quite formidable, having such a pet by his side could serve as a main battle pet or a mount; the compatibility was quite strong.
Lost in fantasies about his bright future, imagining himself making a stunning entrance riding the Gold Devouring Unicorn and garnering everyone's attention, suddenly he felt a lightness in his hand.
"Oh, come on... you wasteful thing... spit it out..." Lin Shen saw that Fei Zai had somehow crawled out of the backpack and had snatched the Gold Devouring Unicorn Egg from his hands and gulped it down.
Lin Shen grabbed Fei Zai by the neck with one hand and tried to fish the Pet Egg out of its mouth with his fingers with the other.
But it was too late; it had already been swallowed into its belly.
"You wasteful thing..." Lin Shen's frustration peaked, feeling the urge to strangle Fei Zai.
Unfortunately, even if he did strangle it, it wouldn't change anything; so he let go, letting Fei Zai fall to the ground.
Before hitting the ground, Fei Zai's body suddenly burst into a strong white light, slender threads of light enveloping it, forming a Light Cocoon about the height of a person, completely encasing Fei Zai's form.
The next second, Lin Shen saw the space around the Light Cocoon visibly warping, with odd and extravagant ribbons of light extending from the twisted space.
"Cosmic Rainbow Light..." Lin Shen was both shocked and elated, never expecting Fei Zai to also attract the Cosmic Rainbow Light.
Looking at its condition, it seemed to be undergoing Ascension.
However, according to what Lin Shen knew, Ascension should begin with the condensation of the Life Base, so why did it attract the Cosmic Rainbow Light before condensing the Life Base?
"No, this isn't Ascension... it's Nirvana..." Lin Shen saw that atop the Light Cocoon, flames had started to burn fiercely.
The Cosmic Rainbow Light from all around was drawn in, as though it had become fuel for the flames, being absorbed into the fire, which grew increasingly intense.
Lin Shen stood beside the flames, but he didn't feel any abnormal temperature, nor could he discern what kind of flames these were.
"If this is Nirvana... it should require a Nirvana Egg... just a Tenth Turn Mutated Ascension Egg... it shouldn't be possible to trigger Nirvana..." Lin Shen watched the Light Cocoon enveloped in the raging white flames with a complex expression, many thoughts flashing through his mind, unable to determine if this was indeed Nirvana.
Fei Zai had eaten so many Pet Eggs, without any reaction, never showing a sign of evolution, and yet, its first evolution created such a spectacle.
Theoretically speaking, once the Cosmic Rainbow Light appears, it should spread through the void, letting the entire universe witness its existence.
However, the Cosmic Rainbow Light attracted by Fei Zai was all absorbed into the flames, becoming fuel for the fire, and naturally, it couldn't spread through the void.
As the Cosmic Rainbow Light flowed in, the white flames gradually transformed into dazzling light flames, burning more and more fiercely, almost like an erupting volcano.
Lin Shen had to keep retreating to avoid touching the light flames, to prevent any issues with Fei Zai's evolution.
Fei Zai's evolution spectacle grew more and more magnificent, but in a shrunken state, it looked terrifying, yet was actually just a small fire pile.
But this small fire pile burned brighter and higher, and gradually truly seemed like a beam of light flames piercing the sky, illuminating half the planet with a kaleidoscope of colors.
Even though the sun had risen, its brilliance was hard to compare with that of the light flames.
Lin Shen desperately flew backward, again and again, not letting himself get caught in the light flames.
"Fei Zai is really stirring things up!" Lin Shen looked at the sky-reaching light flames, which had broken through the clouds, scattering the clouds in the sky; from a distance, it resembled a radiant mountain of lights piercing the heavens.
All the Cosmic Rainbow Light was absorbed into it, continuously contributing to the mountain of light.
Suddenly, a clear chirp echoed through the sky.
From within the mountain of light surged snow-white radiance, shooting straight into the void, transforming into the silhouette of a snow-white light bird, roaming through the void while emitting a phoenix cry that resonated throughout the cosmos.
That phoenix cry lasted endlessly, as if it would never cease.
Lin Shen listened to that sound, gazing at the white bird's silhouette in the void, his expression turning somewhat strange.
This was no dove; it was clearly a White Phoenix, its long feathers and trailing tail flame bearing no resemblance to a dove.
In that moment, the white bird's silhouette streaked across the void, seen by onlookers in every corner of the universe, hearing the phoenix cry, all felt astonished.
Because the Cosmic Rainbow Light was unseen, many thought it was a superior life form passing through the starry sky.
But when they learned that this white bird's silhouette could be seen on many planets throughout the universe, they were all incredibly surprised, unclear about the situation.
Various incredible legends about the White Phoenix started to circulate, with some saying the White Phoenix broke through Nirvana to achieve an Immortal status, which allowed it to manifest its silhouette in the universe.
Others said the born-Immortal White Phoenix moved the universe so much with its birth that its silhouette was spread across the entire starry sky.
