Phoenix Emperor
Chap 58's. Meeting ancestors.

In the cave.

"Nurrah!"

Yin Feng shouted very loudly, the torment he endured was really very painful, even more painful as his body was melted down by the green flames.

It all started when Yin Feng returned to the cave, he who wanted to immediately break through the cultivation realm decided to absorb the energy contained within the meteor rock shards.

Initially, the absorption went smoothly and there was nothing strange, until finally the power of the green fire suddenly reacted to the energy coming from the meteor rock.

Previously, the power of green fire had shown no interest in the energy coming from ordinary resources, except for the Yin and Yang pearls and the Fire and Ice lotuses.

But now, the power of the green flames had suddenly been attracted by the energy from those meteor shards, even the power of the green flames had become much fiercer than before.

The energy that was supposed to be absorbed entered into the Dantian, was instead forcefully absorbed by the power of green flames, thus making Yin Feng feel an excruciating pain.

Even so, Yin Feng still continued to strive to maintain his consciousness, as he was sure something bad would happen if he lost consciousness.

Meanwhile.

The seal formation that reined in the power of the green flames began to crack, until finally the seal was completely destroyed because it was unable to withstand the might of the green flames.

At the same time, the size of the green flame grew even larger, as well as the energy that kept overflowing filled Yin Feng's Dantian, then spread throughout his body.

That burst of energy made Yin Feng's body seem to want to explode, causing an onset of pain that was many times more painful than before.

Yin Feng's body was also enveloped by an aura resembling a green-colored flame, the aura continued to spread in all directions and began to resemble a pair of enormous wings.

Wush!

Dhuayarrr!

A powerful explosion occurred when the aura that enveloped Yin Feng's body grew bigger, the powerful explosion managed to destroy the cave along with the waterfall.

Slowly but surely, the aura enveloping Yin Feng's body began to form an enormous green Phoenix bird, then darted flying away from the place.

The appearance of the giant green Phoenix was accompanied by a gripping aura that spread throughout the forest, thus making the forest dwellers run around in fear.

The phoenix that was completely created from the aura of green fire power then shot flying through the clouds, then after that it clenched its two wings.

Dhuayarrr!

A powerful explosion occurred again, the Phoenix's fist was able to flatten an area of forest tens of kilometers with the ground.

After which, the green Phoenix flapped its wings again, dozens of green fireballs as big as heads appeared and rained down on the entire forest.

Otherside.

Yin Feng who was right in the middle of the Phoenix body was trying hard to control the power of the green fire that was destroying everything in front of him.

However, the harder Yin Feng tried to control that power, the greater the pain he suffered, even his body seemed to want to be destroyed.

"Nurrah!"

Yin Feng's shout grew louder as the pain grew, the hard-earned awareness he maintained began to slowly dissipate.

Until before he finally completely lost consciousness, Yin Feng saw a golden light approaching towards him, instantly his raging strength began to calm down.

"Ying Huo, did you divulge information that he shouldn't have known at this age?"

"Hamba is not brave, your highness" Ying Huo replied.

"If not you, then who? Or maybe he already understood what I said before?"

"Your highness, look at it" Ying Huo said as he pointed out the meteor rock fragments he had found.

"Ah, it turns out that this is the cause, it's worth it that he can transform."

"Ying Huo, come with me. We have to train this kid."

"Alright, your highness." said Ying Huo, then the two disappeared from sight along with Yin Feng's body.

***

A few days later.

"Argh... Where's this?"

Yin Feng finally opened his eyes after being unconscious for five days, he seemed confused as he found himself inside a very large room.

Not long after, the door of the room opened, two men walked into the room and approached Yin Feng, one of whom was none other than Ying Huo the lord of the wilderness.

"Uncle, where is this?" asked Yin Feng.

Ying Huo smiled, then landed a light punch on Yin Feng's head. "Basic stupid! Don't you realize that your actions almost took your life?!"

"Don't pretend to forget or I'll beat you all out!" ying Huo said.

"Here you go, there's no need for any more trouble" said the middle-aged man who was beside Ying Huo.

Yin Feng directed his gaze at the middle-aged man, despite having only met and not knowing each other yet, yet Yin Feng felt like he had a relationship with him.

"Sir, have we met before?" asked Yin Feng.

The man nodded softly, "i've seen you, but you didn't see me" she replied.

"You mean?"

"My name is Yin Feng Huang."

After introducing himself, Yin Feng Huang then explained who he was, he was none other than the ancestor of Yin Feng and the mysterious figure who spoke to him earlier.

Originally Yin Feng was in disbelief, as the man in front of him looked very young as an ancestor, but after hearing all the explanations, Yin Feng finally believed him.

"Yin Feng saluted the ancestor's grandfather."

Yin Feng Huang nodded, "wake up son, I accept your respect."

"Grandfather, I have a question."

Being able to meet his ancestor, Yin Feng felt that this was the best opportunity to seek answers to all the questions and mysteries he had.

"I know that, but before that I want to tell you something."

After that, Yin Feng Huang told him about his life journey, starting from he who was only an ordinary human, to finally finding the strength to become a god.

The power in question was none other than the power of the sky fire, but alas, the power he obtained not only brought blessings, but also brought curses to him.

The power of the sky fire turned Yin Feng Huang into a Phoenix bird, and the problem was, all of his descendants would also experience the same.

At first, Yin Feng Huang felt happy, because his descendants would become great people, but that sense of pleasure did not last long because his wife died after giving birth.

A person's life and death were indeed predestined, but the problem was, what caused his wife to die was Yin Feng Huang's own strength.

His wife, who was only an ordinary human, was certainly unable to withstand the might of Yin Feng Huang, and in the end she died right after giving birth.

"Then what part is considered a curse?" asked Yin Feng.

"The curse I'm referring to is, any of my male offspring will have trouble getting a wife."

"That's all?"

"Hahh" Yin Feng Huang sighed, "if you don't find the right partner, then your strength will devour you slowly."

"And the problem is, finding the right partner is very difficult, because he must have pure Yin energy."

"So, should I share this power with someone?"

Yin Feng Huang shook his head slowly, then explained that pure Yin energy was able to suppress the power of the sky fire, so that the power would not devour its owner.

Even if it managed to master the power of the sky fire completely, but if it continues to be used then the power will slowly devour the soul of its owner.

Moreover, pure Yin energy was also very important to them, as the existence of that energy would relieve pain as they transformed.

"You feel it yourself, don't you? The pain could be gone only with the help of pure Yin energy."

"In that case, I will never transform!"

"That's the problem, even if you don't want to, the transformation process will still occur as your mastery of the celestial fire increases."

"Now you can endure the pain, but not after this, because every time you transform, your soul will be eroded by the flames of the heavens."

Yin Feng was silent, all this time he thought if he could control that power completely, but in fact, the more controlled his strength the more complicated the problems he would face.

In other words, controlling the power of green fire was just to buy time until he was completely devoured by the power of the sky fire.

"Damn! Why didn't the old man explain anything to me?!"

"Because his duty is to guard the altar of fire of the heavens and teach all my descendants."

"Then what about my mom? Is he experiencing the same thing?"

"No, because this curse is only for us men."

"Do you regret being born a man?" ask Ying Huo.

"Uncle, I don't want to joke!"
